Keep Jesus at the center!

Almost a year ago, I went to church with a former friend and one of the ministers called me up and started to pray for me and prophesy over my life, one of the things that he told me is that I was being distracted. Immediately I was thinking to myself like this man doesn't even know me... At the time, I just started school, and could not understand what I was being distracted by. Well now over a year later I see it, I ended up in a situation that overtime (months) had become something that started to affect me spiritually, mentally and emotionally. And I started to worry about this, that and the other, this situation started to become the center of my focus, no longer was Christ the center he was alongside it. That wasn't my intention but even when we may have the best intentions at heart, and want the best for our situations, we can STILL be distracted by things. I got distracted, and didn't mean to, but I let worry and confusion control me so that was the result. Now had I not gotten distracted, and stayed focused on Christ, He would have kept my mind right and I wouldn't have gone through this season. Sometimes we put ourselves in situations that will wreck us.

Today My Bishop talked about distractions, and how we must stay focused on our purpose! And our purpose is to serve, worship and honor Christ in every aspect of our lives. I instantly thought about that day as he was speaking, I couldn't help but to cry because I knew that I let anxiety control me, I worried sooooo bad, I had migraines almost every day. And if anyone has ever had a migraine, they know they can get bad. I lost weight, I started to really dislike everything and everyone around me (I’m just being transparent). Everything irritated me, my family, my job, school, even myself. I started to just worry myself SICK!

The bible says in Philippians 4:6-7 "6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

This situation WRECKED ME, WRECKED my heart, but it also HUMBLED me so much! I can’t complain about it because it brought me closer to Christ, and it put Him right back in the position he NEEDS to be at in my life: AT THE CENTER. I’m wiser, I’m definitely stronger, and I’m growing into the woman God has created me to be. So what I want to say to you all is PLEASE keep Jesus at the center, even if you have to do a daily check to make sure you are, because like I stated before even when your intentions may be good, you can STILL GET OFF COURSE! So please I can’t stress it enough,
  Keep Jesus at the center of all that you do, 
when you wake up ✔, when you eat ✔, when you go to work ✔, when you go to school ✔, when you spend time with family & friends ✔, when you’re walking ✔, when you’re talking ✔ , every breath that you take make sure it’s for Jesus!! He deserves it, and He will fight for His rightful position in your life!

God has a plan for you & you're distracted be free!
God bless you all (:

A God who restores.

Restoration: the action of returning something to a former owner, place, or condition. Psalm 51:12 says "Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. A familiar prayer, a familiar place.  Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Give me the joy I had when I first got saved. Uphold me with a willing spirit. Help me to willingly surrender my life and desires to you. God is all about restoration. In fact, in the past, present and future He is actively restoring what was lost in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve sinned. God sent His only begotten Son to restore our broken relationship with Him. Revelation talks about how He will restore the Earth when Jesus comes back. Acts 3:21 21 Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. Even in our day to day God is in the business of restoring. He is restoring broken relationships, friendships, families, finances, health, hopes,...

Vulnerability is Strength ♡

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on m e. That is one of my favorite verses! Gods Grace is sufficient enough to carry us through whatever life throws at us. It is difficult to be vulnerable sometimes and express that we are struggling. Its easier to boast about our strengths rather than our weaknesses. It can be uncomfortable and maybe a little scary to admit that things aren't going well and reach out and ask for help. --- One thing that Im continously learning is that my dependence has to be in Christ. Everything in this world is fleeting, vain and unreliable. Paul knew what hardship looked like, I read about him and wonder how he was able to write letters and encourage others when he was suffering tremendously himself. But God. -- SUFFICIENT = ENOUGH, CONSTANTLY AVAILABLE....

Let yourself be loved ♡

"So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us."  1 John 4:16 Love. We all crave it, we all desire it. We seek after it sometimes in all the wrong places. Yet, it's right in front of us, pursuing us constantly with no hesitations.  When I think about how I've sought after love in the wrong men. How I've sought after love in the wrong spaces and even how I manage to push people that I know love me away out of fear. To know that a perfect being loves me so purely and so much that He chose to die on the cross for me lights a fire in me that I have never felt. To know that He chooses to love me through my fears is everything to me. The last blog I wrote about love and I normally don't talk about this subject publicly that much but for whatever reason this season is making me press into it. To hear about love, want it and seek after it is one thing but to realize that it's already present and active in my life hits differently....
