Yeah right!  If it was easy everybody would be saved!!!!! Its that simple. To have ppl shun you for what you stand firm on? To have ppl question your faith, your relationship with God, call it fake and they dont even know you personally?  To lose your best friend (so-called), your relationship, your own mother, othe...

We Can't be Friends?  Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a New person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know Gods will for you, which is Good and Pleasing and Perfect. Romans 12-2 NLT  Ok let's dig in.  I've gotten a lot of flack for my continuing to cut people off. Now some I can't take credit for that was All God. And I'm thankful. Thank you Lord for your protection, and redirection.  Be careful what you ask for, you get it cause you asked for it.  I asked God to protect me from my enemies and I started losing friends, is one of the realist quotes. Why because it is the truth! Simple.  Sometimes you must separate to see. Some people in our lives mean us absolutely No Good. But we are so caught up in she been my friend since the womb. That we miss the fact that the friendship isn't bearing any fruit. Or the person is really a horrible influence.  And yes as an adult...

Ok so I must warn you now this may be one of the most in-politically correct blog post I've written. So be warned it may ruffle some feathers. So it began. A young lady on Twitter had tweeted. How can you vote for Obama as a Christian, when he condones something that God hates. She also stated that she doesn't intend to vote in this up coming election. As a Christian her statements did make me think. Please by no means I am the least political girl there is. I'm not into politics and things of that nature. I won't lie I voted for Obama because he is black. (one drop rule sorry dontjudgeme) And had fully intended to vote for him again, this go round but now I'm torn. Because same sex marriage does go against my beliefs. I'm not saying that this group doesn't deserve rights, because everyone deserves rights. Romans 1 :26 -27 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the woman turned against the Natural way to have sex and instead indulged...

A wonderful change has come over me...... He changed my life complete and now I sit, I sit at His feet. To do what must be done I'm gonna work, and work until my savior comes...... Ooooh Jesus that song gives me chills just hearing it in my head as I type This post may come off a bit different than my usual, but Lords will it blesses someone. As you all know I'm still new in  my walk with Christ and to say I was met with Great opposition along the  way, by far would be an  understatement.  Now if I were a different person, I  would have cracked under the  pressure! But God said it, I believe it?   So the Nay- Sayers motivate me to the fullest.  But my heart truly goes out to those  who choose to make changes in their  lives whether to walk with God, stop  drinking, stop smoking, stop cursing,   stop having sex,go back to school.  Whatever! And to have to fight your own demons within, And a pack o...

Being Positive  Keeping a positive outlook isn't the easiest thing to do. I know personally I have my moments.  And in those moments you have to shift that atmosphere! I know during our daily lives everyone can't have a full blown praise break! (I'm known for doing this at work) But for times when  I can't.......... I made a habit of keeping shifters with me.  Your probably like what's a shifter? A shifter is different for everyone. For me I have a couple that work for me. I love music so I have specific play lists that are shifters for me.  My entire home is full of positive quotes, I also keep quotes and scriptures written on note cards that are shifters for me.  But the strongest shifter of all, is when I look back over my life, at all the times and things that should have taken me out, things that would have sent anyone else into Bellevue Hospital (for those non New Yorkers that hospital is known for its psych ward)  But God! He k...

My Adam is Sleeping!!!!!!! First I have to shout out Heather Lindsey for this one!  Genesis 2 vs 18-21-23 18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. 23 The man said, “ This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” Ok so I'm guessing this scripture is quite familiar to many of us. But as I grow in the Lord I realize that I can read something and it will take on a new meaning. Isn't that awesome? Well after listening to Heather Lindseys PodCast " How to be a Woman After Gods Heart"  I went back and revisited this verse in my quite time.  She brought a whole new prospective to it for me...

I don't have Religion, I have a Relationship  Oooooooh Jesus speak through me!!!!! I feel this one. I had a conversation the other day with a friend. Now slight background this friend had gone back to church prior to me going back to Christ. (notice I said he went to church I went to Christ)  Anyhoo we were speaking about the fact that I recently decided to be bold in my step of celibacy by signing a purity covenant and joining the PinkyPromise Movement. (I'll dig into that in another blog)  As I explained this to him, the sideways comments began. And granted I know some people don't mean any harm in the things that they say when it comes to the changes I'm making in my life. I see that it comes from a lack of information and understanding.  My people perish for lack of Knowledge Hosea 4:6 Hence why many of us are still in bondage and living in darkness. But I didn't expect this from him! Because he is a Christian! He's in church!?!  When I explained that I was...

Have Plans? Did you talk to God about them first?  > For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. New Living Translation  Ok soooo this may come off as a bit of a rant, but that's what happens when you take a short break from blogging to live!!!!!!!!! Life is what inspires me to write can't be inspired if I'm not out there living.  Anyhoooo......... Soooooo this journey has taken me on quit a few twists and turns. I've lost some friends and gained some awesome sisters and brothers in Christ.  And it's kinda funny because Gods word has connected me to complete strangers in a way  I never connected with so called friends. People some I have never even met in person. And the flow and move of God is astounding.  I'm truly humbled by it.  In the last 2 months I had two birthdays! My actually birthday I turned 30, and My rebirth into the body of Christ.  I joined...

What Are You Co- Signing  What are you co-signing/agreeing with / Are you jumping on the bandwagon Before I begin my rant lol. Let me start by saying first I am in complete awe of the Lord and His awesome timing and confirmation. Also a huge shout out to my Lil Sis Jaleesa (awesome young woman of God) who during our Praise dance rehearsal brought to my attention this topic through scripture.  So Hi5 to her.  Ezra praised the LORD, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, "Amen! Amen!" Then they bowed down and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. -   > Cross reference  1 Corinthians 14:16 If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying? amen Definition a·men[ ay mén ] 1.  so be it: said or sung at the end of a prayer or hymn to affirm its content 2.  expressing strong agreement: used to...

God don't Bless Mess?!? The Ignorant have spoken I beg to differ! I've been told this absolutely ignorant statement, early on in my walk with God. So I wasn't strong enough then to argue as to why this is complete and utter ignorance! And it's words like these that have kept many away!  How he loves me I will never know! Because he loves me despite me!  He loves you despite all you may have done. And loves you through your mess. That's when He loves you most, because He wants you to realize your not strong enough and you can't do it on your own. And to Humble yourself and allow Him to order your steps and light your path. He is the only one who can turn your mess into a message.  All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God. The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages ...

This is my testimony everybody, how God favored me inspite  of my enemies, and if God did it for me he'll do the  samething for you. Don't worry about your haters your haters  can't do nothing with you. Listen to these words  Verse 1  Love is patient, caring. Love is Kind. Love is felt most when  it's genuine, but I've had my share of love, abuse,manipulated  and it's strength misued, and I can't help but give you glory  when I think about my story, and I know you favored me  because my enemies did try but couldn't triumph over me  Yes they did try but couldn't triumph over me.  I'm still here, I'm still alive, I'm still blessed, on my way to  my destiny, because the favor of God is on my life. Let me  tell you about love.  Verse 2  Love is patient, caring. Love is Kind. Love is felt most when  it's genuine, but I had my share of love, abuse,manipulated  and it's strength misued, and I can't help but give you glory,  when I...

Gossipers: Do you know people who are always in someone else's business. When there is no one else's business to be in, now they are trying to get into yours. They come across to you as if they want to be your friend just so you can be comfortable with them. Once they gain your confidence and your trust, they go and betray your confidence and now they feel they have succeeded and now tell others. What that gets you is nothing more than all your business now all around town. Stay away from people who gossip and talk too much if you don't want your business out in the streets. A ((REAL & POWERFUL)) woman knows when to listen and when to speak. You first must listen to gain knowledge and when you gain knowledge, that turns into power. After you have listened and gained all that you can gain, now when the opportunity presents itself to speak to anyone in any situation, you will have come across as knowledgeable, smart and intelligent. This is how you become a real and po...

The Road Thus Far So I felt compelled to shine a light on some personal experience in a more in depth way. Although all posts prior to this were written from personal  expierience   From the beginning of this journey that is coming on a year now, I've had to deal with much opposition. You would think that choosing to live a life for the Lord would be something that  people, family and friends would embrace and be supportive of. Ha! Not so.  And as I grew deeper in my walk I consistently came across the statement "that's not church/Christ like"  For the record that statement upsets me something terrible!  Because when's the last time the people who use it have stepped foot in a church?  Or taken the time to seek Gods face let alone His Hand?!? But want to tell somebody what isn't like Him?  The Nerve!!!!  When someone becomes a Christian he becomes a brand new person inside. The old life has passed away and a new life has begun!  Therefore if any man be...

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy–meditate on these things.  (Philippians 4:8) As the saying goes.... Practice makes Perfect! Soooo what exactly are you practicing? The things we so callously take for granted in our comings and goings. These things go hand and hand with the Law Of Attraction. What we put out is what we will have returned to us. But what we practice we will become. If we practice fear–being afraid of what life could bring our way; or what may happen to our children at this point in history;  or what if we go under financially;  or what if my child who is learning to drive has a wreck on the freeway; etc., then we will become  even more fearful and frozen in...

 I just had to share this.....I am truely moved by the Christian spoken word movement and since poetry is one of my many passions it fit right in with my journey. I tell you God will Order some steps if you let Him. But Check it out and be Blessed By this Powerful Message
