Chapter Unknown: My Hot-mess-ness

I am a struggling Christian with a struggling Lordship to a powerful God. I am a 22 year old woman, who is struggling to keep up with the daily grind. I am a daughter who tends to forget to be thankful. I am a struggling sister, who forgets to say I am proud of you. I am church member who forgets to tithe every Sunday. I am a loved girlfriend who forgets to be more appreciative of the little things. I am a struggling friend who breaks commitments at times. I am truly just a HOTMESS!

 I also am a daughter of Christ who is forgiven.....

 I want to be perfect in every area of my life, so that means I buy whiteboards to keep track with my weekly bible verses and weekly "to do list." I am the girl that buys two planners for a school year and plans everything out. I tend to spend more than I have because I need to do all things and be involved with everything. Sometimes I feel that when I confess with my mouth that I am broken maybe a week later I could get it together. Jokes on me. It doesn't work that way.

 I guess what I am trying to get at is that the Lord is enough for all the flaws that cover me from head to toe. He takes on my dirty rags and makes me new.  It's like walking into your favorite store, where they take your coat for you and place all of those high price tag clothes in the dressing room for you. The dressing room is addressed to you! It makes you feel like what you came in as doesn't matter, but when you leave out of here, you will be made NEW! God did something unique when he took my dirty rags, undressed my filth and put me in riches. Then he sent his son Jesus Christ down to wear my clothes and take on my "hotmess-ness"! 

 He not only whore my shirt that said: "Quaynese, the hotmess," but he took your shirt that said " hotmess" and your mother's shirt that said the same thing, and your father's shirt, and your cousin's shirt, and you best friend's shirt and so on... 
1 Peter 4:8 | "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins" 
1 Peter 2:24 | " He himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; " by his wounds you have been healed." "
I don't know about you, but I am swelling with emotions, with tears of joy because he took on my sins and made me feel like a million bucks! I may not dress like a million bucks but when it comes to the kingdom of heaven, I shall be seated at the throne with a net-worth of pure SALVATION! 
I thank you Lord for putting me in a new season of triumph and faithfulness. Thank you Lord for putting me in a season of change and trust and understanding. God even when I feel like my life is a hot mess, all I can say you clean it up. You make me a good mess. You make me feel like a million bucks, even when I feel like nothing. I am grateful that I have a God who knows all of my mess and still has unending love for me. Oh Thank you 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 ...
