Let Go and Let God

Today I finally realized, I have been thinking far too much and way too hard.

Today is the day I gave it all to God, again.

Much Love,

Be Encouraged

“So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” (Romans 12:5-8)

The one gift I have always been intrigued by is the gift of encouragement. Although this is one of my grace gifts, yet, there are times when I need encouragement just to make it through the day. That is when I have to ask the question:

How does this gift work for me when I’m discouraged?

I have come to realize, the gifts within me are to be given away. That is why it’s called a gift. There is another scripture that comes to mind when I think about sharing a gift. Galatians 6:7 says “Be not deceived God is not mocked.  Whatsoever a man sows, he will reap.”

So, with that being said, I just wanted you to know. You are greatly loved of the Father. You are the apple of His eye.  Regardless of whatever you are going through, this too shall pass. You will succeed and accomplish your purpose.  You will fulfill your destiny, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I'm Blessed...For Real

Today, I write these words with an overwhelming knowing of how blessed I truly am.  I know that sounds corny, but hear me out.  I mean, I'm really blessed!! 

Okay, I can hear some saying "Um really!!" "What makes this declaration so different from any other declaration you've made before"? 

Well, for starters, my assurance and knowing that God has covered my life all of this time.

As I look back over my life I can see God's Love woven throughout the pattern of who I am. Every stitch of my personality, every thread is saturated in the Holy Spirit. 

However, the fact that I've had to endure and overcome, goes without saying. Yet, through it all, I'm still here. After all of the heartache, betrayals and not to mention, all of the loss. I am yet, full of the Holy Spirit and seeking after a God whom I love dearly. There is absolutely nothing more fulfilling than God's purpose for my life.  Producing His purpose on this earth.

So, with all of that being said, now, maybe you can better understand when I say "I'm blessed".

Love you greatly!
