50 things that 2020 taught me ♡


What a crazy year right? Although challenging it has been a very fruitful year for me. With all of the setbacks I've grown a lot spiritually. With all of the disappointments I've learned to trust and rely on God more. In the loneliest of moments, I found that Jesus is truly the greatest comforter.

Being forced to spend more time alone than normal I've also learned a lot about myself. This was a year of growth and preparation. I strongly believe that God doesn't put us through the fire without a purpose in doing so. So I'm excited to see what 2021 will bring.

Daily Devotion: His sovereignty.

God uses tough situations in our lives to reveal His sovereignty and extend His grace to us. Often times it is the storms and valleys in our lives that forces us to fall on our knees and surrender to Him and His will. Even though hard times are very difficult, they reveal that God is still good and that he doesn't want any of us to perish. The testing of your faith produces patience and perseverance. He is using your trial to draw you closer to Him. He wants you. All of you. Even the broken pieces of your life. He is able to handle it. He wants your attention and will stop at nothing to get it. He is pursuing you in your trials, will you let Him in? Praying with you. ❤

Keep Jesus at the center!

http://www.worshiphousemedia.com/song-tracks/36556/Jesus-At-The-Center A lmost 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.

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 t...

For all the "Good girls"

I'm a good girl, BUT I'm not perfect. However growing up this is the what I've been called, and I've learned to accept that I am different from a lot of other girls well young women now. Not to sound like I'm better than anyone but I was definitely raised differently than most, and from a young girl I was taught to carry myself a certain way, act, think, and walk a certain way. My parents invested a lot of time in teaching me the ways in which I should go, the things I should and should't do, the friends I shouldn't or should have. They helped mold me into the woman I am today.  I don't have a long list of things I've done that will have people look at me like I'm crazy, but I do have A list just like everyone else!! Often times I feel like I'm not "out there" enough to have a testimony for encourage people, help them, but whoever said your testimony had to be this big dramatic tell it all, crazy filled story anyways? I believe...
