When ministry invades

If you are like me, there are some things you have been praying to take place in your life. My question to you is, what are you going to do when those things start to come to pass. Do you think it's going to be convenient when God actually starts answering the desires of your heart? Do you think your going to be able to tell God "I want that, but not yet"? Trust me on this, when God starts answering your prayers, it will not be at a convenient time or season in your life. Lemme say this one again, "it will not be in a convenient season in your life". You know how people say "Watch what you pray for". Well, there are some things I noticed about how God has designed me and what that means for my purpose in my home and outside my home. Based on that I have been praying for a long time about how I would like to see my life unfold. These prayers have been based on God's revealed purpose for my life. I have desparately wanted some things in my life. God is starting to move on those prayers, and I almost closed the door on a work God is beginning in my life, because "I'm thinking, it's not a good time". But God reminded me of what I have been praying for. God's blessings are never convenient and that is so we continue to have to rely on Him in the midst of Him blessing us. Lemme say this again, God's blessings are never convenient "this is so we have to continue to rely on Him in the midst of Him blessing us"

Oh my gosh, this just hit me "Don't be scared of your design". Oh my gosh, God is speaking to me "Don't be scared of your design".

Think before you defend yourself

I get on social media and I do my best not to be critical of anyone. It's not my place. I do find it kind of interested how personal relationships, insecurities, and hurts are expressed where the whole world can see. Social media is like this enigma that continues to spark my interest. I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?". I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern. The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media. I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within . Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through. A thou

When we are troubled................

Have you have let the challenges you face, become a distraction for you? I have! Matter-a-fact, I'm going through it now. I hate it when I do that, because when you begin to let your heart become troubled about something, it's not long before fear begins to creeps in as well. Then I feel like it gets hard to focus on the other things you need to focus on, and it's hard to enjoy the blessings that you have. There is such a ripple effect when you let challenges trouble you. It leads to distraction, then, fear, then it starts to rob you of your peace, your joy and if you let it, it can completely consume you. God tells us to guard our hearts with all diligence. There are 2 things in the bible that God tells us to guard: Our hearts and our mouths. We have to watch what we let come into our hearts and we have to watch what we allow to proceed from our mouths. Even though we don't ignore challenges, it's important we don't let them take up residence in our

Love & Crisis

I am bursting with stuff to share, but really haven't known if it's the time to share it. Or even if this is the platform. There have been some foundational lessons that God has been teaching me. Gosh, I haven't blogged so long. I don't know where to start. I long to connect with my readers on a more personal level. I don't know how many of you are married. But statistically marriages will go through a crisis about every 10 years. It could be health, financial, loss of a loved one, parenting issues, etc. My husband and I went through our first crisis last year, and guess what? Last year was our 10th year of marriage. Ours was financial. Honestly, it went on for about 2 years but reached the worst of it last year. We were in danger of losing our home. The only reason we are in our home today is because God used our family and our church to help us. But it was rough for awhile and it truly tested our marriage. We had the worst arguments of our mar
