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 (:

Good, grief.

This morning my mom called. She had called me late last night but I was asleep. This morning she called again and I instantly knew something was off. I woke up this morning expecting to have a great day just because I went to bed at a good time the night before and woke up and made a smoothie. I've always hated Mondays, a lot of the worse days of my life or most frustrating days seemed to be on Mondays. Today was no different. I called my mom back and she begin to tell me that my cousin Edward aka "Junior" died last night. Not only did he die but he died in the basement of my Aunts, his mom's house. The same place my other cousin Eric died 5 years ago. They were brothers, Eric was the youngest. I was heartbroken and instantly broke out in tears. Eric was one of my favorite cousins on my mom's side of the family, we shared a love for art. When he died just 8 days after I moved to Dallas, I was devastated. I moved to Dallas on July 7, 2017, and he died on July 15th....

Struggling with discontentment?

Adam and Eve were the first human beings to struggle with discontentment. God already provided all that they needed but He forbid them of just one thing. And that one thing "to be like God" soon became what their "hearts desired" after Satan deceived them. But they were already complete and whole. The devil made them feel like they needed something more, that what they had wasnt enough. So he enticed them to disobey God in the pursuit of wanting to be like God. They were discontent with what they already had, which was already enough. They were living in paradise, amongst God in the garden of Eden and they had one another to experience it with. Seriously, what more could they have asked for? But that's what the devil will do, he will convince you that there is always more to be had, but sometimes the "more" requires us to be disobedient to get and keep it. Discontentment can easily lead to sin, guard your heart diligently and seek the Lord for...

The Real Purpose Driven Life

"I want to know what's my purpose, why am I here?" "What am I being called to do?" Have you ever asked yourself this? We all have at one point or another. We are wired to want to live a purposeful life. We are wired to want to live a satisfying life. But as Believers we are called to live a set-apart life. Not to merely seek after our ambitions but to seek after Christ. Before Christ we wonder what we need to do to make our lives better, but in Christ we should be focused on what we could do to bring glory to God. We exist for God. To bring Him glory and honor and to fulfill His purpose. I dont know about you all, but this gives me rest and peace when anxiety creeps on me. I always thought that I had to do some magnificent thing to bring God glory but really it can simply be me sharing the Gospel with a coworker or donating to a charity or volunteering on a Saturday morning at a charity or spending time with those who are hurting or even just praying for the...
