Blessed to have God's grace.

God gives us grace even when we are undeserving of it. I can count numerous times God gave me grace even when I was living recklessly. I would like to share with you two situations where God gave me grace.

In 2013 I was with my friends having a few drinks when I received a call from a guy I was dating off and on. He asked me to go grab food with him and I agreed to go. I got in the car with him and we drove about 3 minutes from my home before our car collided with another. I did not have a seat belt on, but by the grace of God I walked away with minor scratches, a few bruises, and a strained shoulder; when I should have been ejected from the vehicle.

In 2016 I was changing my 8 days old baby's diaper when she sneezed and suddenly turned blue around the mouth, which let me know she could not breathe. I quickly instructed her dad to call 911 as I started to breathe into her mouth. My baby had regained color, but about a minute later she turned blue again. Starting the steps over my baby was then breathing normal and crying. The ambulance arrived and took us straight over to the hospital, where she was then admitted to the pediatric ICU. I begin to cry, but all I could do was thank God my baby was alive.

James 4:6 "He gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." I am a firm believer that because I have such a humble heart that even in my "mess" God gave me his grace. I shared this to show you all how much God loves each of us even when we do not deserve his love. Keep a humble heart; God values that.

Be Blessed!

Blockage in Your Tunnel!

Image
  Imagine driving on a beautiful afternoon. As your driving, you approach a tunnel. Your car enters the tunnel and suddenly things do not appear to be so brighter. As you continue to drive you can see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.   Many of our lives are like this. Everything appears to be perfect and then suddenly something dims our lights.    For some of us, there may be a huge truck driving in front of us, which is blocking the light at the end of the tunnel. We all have trucks in our lives that we need to move past to see the light. Some have big trucks and some may have small trucks.  What happens when you can get around the truck? The key is to keep driving. You cannot stop or else you’ll be the cause of traffic.  That’s how God feels about our lives. The enemy may try to cause blockage in our tunnels, but we have to keep going even if we can’t move around it. The cars behind us are the souls that God has assigned to us. When you quit ...

Blessing in Friendships.

Image
We all know by now that friendships don’t always last forever. Some friendships are just for a season. In that season God uses that person(s) to bring something out of you. I’m in a space in life where my circle of friends has changed. Although God has replaced the friends I have lost; I am truly grateful for each friendship. In this season God has given me friends that have become my sisters through Christ. Each one of them has played a part in my spiritual development; rather it is to hold me accountable for my thoughts and actions or to push me to new heights in my walk with Christ. God has given me sisters who won’t let me go back to partying and drinking alcohol. He has given me sisters to remind me of the spiritual gifts he has implanted in me. I shared this to say it is okay to lose friends because God will replace them with who you need in life. Although it may hurt or feel like a loss, it is actually a blessing. Each friendship helps build your character and integrity. T...

The Blessing in a Breakthrough!

Image
I have been going back and forth about doing this post. It has been tough to write about what I am currently dealing with. I am waiting for my “breakthrough”. Week after week the enemy has been attacking me. Now, most will say “when the enemy is working hard to break you, you are about to reach your breakthrough.” This post is not only to encourage you but to encourage me. The enemy has a job and that is to kill, steal, and destroy according to John 10:10.  We have to stand strong and trust in the Lord through these trying times. God will always be there.  “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.”  Isaiah‬ ‭43:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ We are not to fear the things that satan is throwing at us. Even when it seems like the trials and tribulations are never-ending. God has our backs. He will provide you with the strength and reso...
