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 (:

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....

Jesus loves YOU.

Sometimes when I hear something over and over again it starts to become redundant and not as valuable to me as the first time I heard it. I want to expound on that for a moment to remind you of what that means. Jesus loves you. Romans 5:8 But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners , Christ died for us. We are conditioned to feel like we have to work and earn love. As much as we desire to give and receive unconditional love it is a hard task for us as humans. We are conditioned to expect things in return when we give anything to others. This is why the Bible talks about denying self so much because that is exactly what Christ did 2000 years ago for us. While we were dead in our sins, He died for us. Philippians 2:4-8 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness...

Hello 2023: God is Faithful.

First, let me start by saying Happy New Year!!!!!! I pray this year is a blessed year for you and your family. I pray for God to show up in your life to remind you that He is always near to His own. I know I had to continue to remind myself of that truth in 2022 and for the rest of my life, it will be engraved on my heart. I'm so thankful that no matter what happens in this life when we place our faith and trust in God He is able to sustain us through the most difficult times in life. I don't know about you but 2022 was a difficult season for me. And I say season because I knew that a lot that took place would cause a shift in my norm that would only be for a season, at least I hoped. But I wasn't prepared for all of the coping and suppressing my own feelings it would take to get through it. I was in survival mode all of 2022, kind of similar to how I felt when the pandemic first happened in 2020. I just did what I could to survive and make it to the next day. By the Grace ...
