I am a Rolls Royce

 

“Be in Love with every moment of your life” (Anonymous)

 



As plainly as I can put it, I know I am a Rolls Royce.

Yet, although I am of huge value, there are times I will get rained on

and dirty by being driven through ugly places in life. 

Yet, it does not change who I am, nor does it change my value.   

I am a Rolls Royce.

Whether you like me or not.

I am still a Rolls Royce.

The fact that you don't value me, does not change anything.

The reality of who I know I am, is all the reality that is necessary.

I am a Rolls Royce.



A Praying Woman

 

 

Not sure why, but for some reason, I strongly felt I needed to write about this subject...my experience of praying for the man I want. How many of you have ever done this?

 

Well, for starters, without really understanding how much of a difference this action of praying will really make. The one difference I notice, has happened within myself.

 

For a very long time, I have been doing a lot of expecting from an outward paradigm. Meaning, I was just looking for him to be what I want and all the things I am looking for in a man. And with good reason. There is a lot of mess out here that I do not want!!! Okay, but I digress.

 

I had a number of expectations and specifically, some things that I call (NWTDW) "Not willing to do without." Oh boy, I had a long list of things. Yet, however, the amazing transformation that has occurred, has happened within my thinking.

 

My thoughts have begun to shift from what he can do for me; to what I can do to be the best I could possibly be for him. Which leads me to my next question.

 

Are you praying to receive the desires of your heart?  And if so, what changes are you experiencing?

 

I know there is so much more to this subject, but that's it for now. "More will be revealed".

 

Much Love

 

 

"Believe God"

When all else fails, believe God

No matter where you’re going

Even if you’re hurting

In spite of set-backs and delays

Set your heart to finish

You will get there if you keep moving

Continue to move forward until you get there

Believe God

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,
Nicole

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!

God, What Do You Want?....

Hello everyone, being that we are in such times of change, this post came to mind. When I wrote this post over three years ago, I was in a very unusual place to say the least. I had just gotten fired from my job and pretty much got marched out of the building like a common criminal. This was a time where I felt like the enemy was literally laughing and taunting me. I began to think about all the junk I had talked about how "big and bad" my God is, the countries I had traveled to, all the people I've ministered to, all the blessings God had poured out through me, and yet, there I was in this place where I felt so all alone and even helpless.


In a time like this, the one thing I surprisingly struggled with was "PRIDE". People like myself, are highly functional with many talents, extremely capable of doing many things. So now, how do I resolve the issue of fixing all of the many situations I am now facing, and having absolutely "NO" answers?

In all honesty, now, I know this was the best place I could have ever been. I truly discovered the Grace of God by leaps and bounds as I've never known before. What I discovered, there was no room for me to fix anything. I was the one who was in need of “fixin”. There was no remedy or antidote. However, sadly, I was so angry! Oh! but here’s the ugly part. It was not so much because of all the things I had just endured, it was the fact that I couldn’t do anything about it. I had to put down my weapons of choice and ask God “what do you want”. With that being said, this brings me to my next question.

When is the last time you asked the Lord; what does He want from you?

A purpose producing life, is a life that is truly reliant on God and His will. No matter where you might find yourself, or how bad it may seem. Be willing to ask the Lord, What do You want?

This is the place where God will show you just how "big and bad" He can be for you.

Much Love!
