Posture and Perception

Sooooo....Posture and perception, I want to talk about these to words as it pertains to how we see and how we act while going through the tough times that we face in life. If you have read any of my earlier posts you know that I am in a renewing, restoring, and rebuilding season in my life. PERCEPTION, you see how I didn't say I am suffering, I am going through, I am a victim of lying evil people, I am a victim of MY OWN CHOICES! I don't look at this season as HARD TIMES, but a chance to get closer to God, and chance to build and strengthen my faith in Christ! A chance to solidify my relationship with God, a chance to let Him rebuild my character, restore my reputation, and renew my mind! In this season, I have truly seen the power of God in my life, the favor He has given me and my children. I have reaped the benefits of being faithful, and putting ALL of my trust and hope in God, not taking things into my own hands, but in everything I have done to seek Gods wisdom and guidance. I would not be sitting here right now if I didn't TOTALLY SURRENDER to His will! I see this season as a chance to have a testimony, and to be a testimony! POSTURE...what should our posture be when our circumstances aren't what we think or need them to be, how should we handle ourselves,  how should we think, how should we REACT! I can firmly tell you from experience, GRATEFUL, TRUSTING IN THE LORD, OBEDIENT TO THE WORD OF GOD, REMAIN FAITHFUL, KEEP A PRAISE ON YOUR LIPS AND A SONG IN YOUR HEART, AND ABOVE ALL THOSE THINGS LOVING OTHERS! If these things are our foundation in the middle of our crisis, we can see clearly the work God is doing in us, and it will be evident what miracles He will perform in the midst. Our hope for the future will be strengthened along with our faith and relationship with God! Our joy and peace will be undeniable, and unexplainable! Remember,  ALL POWER BELONGS TO GOD, and when you believe that deep in your heart,  you know you can get through ANYTHING, and there is nothing ANYONE or anything can do to stop or destroy what God is doing for you, and what He will give to you!! I love you to life! GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE!!

"Nay, we are more than conquerors through Him that loves us."
ROMANS 8:37

"When you pass through waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire, you shall not be burned, and the flames shall not consume you!"
ISAIAH 43:1-2

Reflection....and Declaration

Sooo......We are approaching the new year, 2020! The start of a new decade! These past 10 years have been filled with A LOT of ups and downs, heart ache, then healing, then more heart ache, and again more healing! One thing I do know is that I am responsible for most of it, and I wouldn't have my sanity, my health, my life even if it hadn't been for Gods grace and mercy! It is a cliche thing that people say, it rolls off of people's tongues with regularity "If it had not been for Jesus, where would I be!?" That saying means EVERYTHING to me concerning these past 10 years, because I LITERALLY wouldn't know where I would be without God! I wouldn't of made it this far, especially the last few months, I look back on October and half of November, and how I would of DEFINITELY been in jail, or worse! I didn't respond to things like the old me would have! The people who tried to bait me are VERY LUCKY for that, but I am most of all grateful!! I could have lost my children, my sanity, everything! God is bringing me and my children into 2020 with favor, blessings, health, prosperity, a new career, and a great support system! God has opened the doors that needed to be opened, and closed the ones that needed to be closed. What I can't and will not do is carry old ways, and what I've been through, into this next decade of my life! I am starting school, getting a degree in a career that I LOVE! God has given me the strength and courage to walk through the doors that He has opened! I know this for certain, and this is very important, I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT GOD! What I have learned the most at the end of this decade is to PUT GOD FIRST IN EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO, AND HE WILL LEAD AND GUIDE YOU!! I'm not saying I regret not doing it sooner, because I have gone through all of these things for a reason! I am walking into 2020 with the victory, leaving behind the mess and heartache, leaving behind (but still forgiving and loving) those people who tried to break me in the end, those who tried and went along with the plot to take my children and throw me on the streets. God will take care of them, my focus is on the glory God has for me! Gods word is the truth, and He does not tell lies! NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME PROSPERED, GOD DIDN'T LEAVE ME OR FORSAKE ME, HE HAS BEEN JEHOVAH JIRAH (my provider), HE HAS BEEN MY PRINCE OF PEACE, HE IS THE CENTER OF MY JOY, HE IS A DELIVERER, GOD IS MIGHTY IN BATTLE, HE IS A WAY MAKER, HE HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, HE HAS BEEN MY VINDICATOR, MY LAWYER, MY PRINCE OF PEACE, MY ALL!!! NOTHING can or has separated me from His love!!! I pray that everyone who reads this, if you haven't given your life over to God, IT IS THE BEST DECISION YOU CAN MAKE FOR YOUR LIFE! I'm not saying you won't ever face challenges, but while your going through God will give you favor, joy, and peace that surpasses all understanding!! God is faithful!!! Walk into 2020 a new creature, walk into 2020 with the VICTORY! There is NOTHING anyone can do about what God can and will do for you! I love you all to life, GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE!!!

"35. WHO shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36. As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter. 37. Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Him that loved us! 38. For I am persuaded, that neither death or life, nor angles, nor principalities (demons), nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come. 39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord!" ROMANS 8:35-39

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE

Soooo.....It's  been a while! I am sooo excited to be back...sharing what God gives me every morning! From the last time I posted up to and through this day the number one lesson God is trying to teach me is PATIENCE!!! PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE!! I have just finished a bible lesson called "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry!" You see...God has done some AMAZING things in my life since November 13th (The day the enemy tried to break me, AND LOST!! LOL!!!!). Everything that was done and said by others to try and break me down...and take my children was vanquished!!.....God moved very fast, He opened up every door that I needed to walk through, and I was able to get an apartment within 2 days!! .....but then, I felt like I STALLED!! I have an opportunity to go back to school and have it paid for, an opportunity for an internship, but all of these things and other things that I have prayed for seem to take A THOUSAND STEPS!! In order for me to appreciate what is coming next in my life, I have to be willing to go through the process! EVERYTHING WITH GOD IS A PROCESS! It is His way to teach us to be grateful, to take our time, to not make hasty impulsive decisions! It is His way to ensure that we consult Him in all of our moves, because the last thing we should want is to be out of the will of God! God doesn't work on our timeline! The human condition now a days is GET IT NOW...AND GET IT INSTANTLY! Hurry and joy don't  mix....Hurry and peace don't mix......if your hurrying your stressed, disappointment is always around the corner waiting to pounce on you! Take your time! Trust the process, trust Gods process! God has been faithful...and consistent in all of our lives one way or another, even if we haven't noticed or refuse to acknowledge! Let go, allow God to lead....take the time! The one thing that stood out in that bible lesson was this quote, "Hurrying is of the devil, and taking your time is of God!" That's how the author summed it up! PERIOD..AND STRAIT TO THE POINT! I LOVE YOU TO LIFE!!! GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE!!!!!

"Do not be ANXIOUS about anything, but in every situation by prayer and petition, with t hbk Thanksgiving present your requests to God"
Philippians 4:6

"For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future!"
Jeremiah 29:11
