Warning Signs.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to church, I came home from church and did bible study with someone. I cried because I told them that my heart was heavy and the Lord is preparing us for something. We prayed on it, but did we constantly pray on it? That answer is just what is expected, NO! I said to them, the Lord is preparing us for a storm these next couple months, it's our chose to be prepared for it. This isn't the first time God weighed on my heart to reveal himself to me. It's simple though, he is placing his word on me, and I keep getting my job wrong. I keep thinking that I need to speak about one day, pray on it one day, then it will be taken care of. Jokes on me! That's not how it works, and I am slowly realizing this.

I am forgetting the most important step.

1 Thessalonians 5: 17 - 18 | "pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you."
Whaattttt! I swell up with tears, let me tell you! Jesus is awesome. He warned me of the coming storm, I just didn't prepare for it. I didn't think I needed to stock my pantry with bread and supply my fridge with milk. I thought I simply would survive with the things I already had. However, what happens when all of those things run out? Well for starters is that you run out of food! You become mad and hungry-- other words you are hangry  ( hungry +angry). Second, you are alone, but there is no one to blame but yourself. You knew of the storm and yet you did nothing. This is the same struggle I feel many of us go through. I am not ashamed to say that I ignored the waves and warnings that God put on my heart. 


I have been praying and leaning on the spirit and he has taught me: Through storms, we aren't suppose to make sure that we are fully stocked with food and water. We are suppose to take our supplies and go to others that need. As children of Christ, we are committed to be helpers of Christ. Always should we be prepared to lend our hearts for love, lips for prayers, and hands and feet for helping. If God is placing something heavy on your heart, open your mouth and tell those who will listen. Pray together, stand in faith with one another. I have seen my mother do this so often in this season, and it's such a blessing how Jesus is shaping her faith. Thankful today that God has revealed the magic of amazing helpers of this world. I have seen so many big hearts full of unending love.



God you are a magical God! You allowed your son to carry our sins so that we may be blameless. What a gift! You present this gift to us each and everyday. Words cannot form the gratefulness for that. Ultimately, we pray to be servers of God. When we are mixing the signals of the world with the word of God, we will be lost. However, when we just worship and pray, the answer will simply be Jesus.

Take a minute.

Life moves fast sometimes, to fast. Sometimes we get to wrapped up in the fast life and we forget the little things. I know I can admit, I become easily distracted by the little things. That little thing can distract me, and can become a big distraction, and that big distraction can cause me to stray away from what I know is best or right. So we must remember to not to get distracted or become overwhelm. Just take a minute to breathe and bask in the beauty, that Jesus Christ has created for us. The other night, as well as, the night before I found myself looking up at the stars, all billion of those beautiful stars and how they light up the sky. Just makes me realize how amazing our God is, for him to place all those stars in the sky and light up the night the way they do is amazing. I just need everyone to look at how amazing the sky looks at night. Just look how amazing the sky looks, although this isn't a picture I took, it's still a picture of God's w...

Jesus, Take the Wheel!!!!!!!

You know that saying people would say "Jesus take the wheel," have you ever thought about what that means. Well I figured I could provide a good example:  Now that you got a good laugh, lets really talk. I remember growing in people would say that saying and I never really understood what it meant. So now that I am older, I use to say "Jesus, take the wheel" I remember saying it when I was stressed out or when a friend of mines was acting inappropriately. When we think of such a saying, we want God to have control because we lack all control. But shouldn't God always be driving the car in your life? And what does that look like when you truly let Jesus drive? For me that means I need to surrender. I am still allowing myself to put other things in God's place. I am driving to a destination that I chose to worship other than God. Simply, I am idolizing something that isn't God. You will always be driving on a never ending road when you chose s...

Simple Things.

I got this Awesome coffee mug yesterday, and I am absolutely obsessed with it. First, it says You are an Amazing Woman . Second, the rim of the mug is Proverbs 31: 29 | " Many Women have done excellently, but you surpass them all." This is such a inspirational mug not because of who said, simply because it's a word of God. Words of confirmation and positivity, ladies if this doesn't lift your spirits in the morning, then I don't know what will. Let's thank God for the simple things like waking up, and getting an awesome mug. God you are an amazing father, you never fail in love for me. And I thank you for that. Thank you for whipping away my sins, for sending your one and only son to die on the cross for me. What an awesome God you are, and you deserve nothing less than the highest praise! I walk into the upcoming week with my eyes directed on you, and knowledge of knowing that everything that will happen through you and for you. You are my Savior Jesus ...
