There's a blessing that comes with pain.

There are blessings that come with pain. I know you're reading this thinking "what blessing could possibly come from pain?" For my mothers out there, you've experienced contractions during childbirth, but after the contractions came a beautiful baby. What a blessing!!

In my life, I have been a victim of situations most women my age would never survive. I trained my self to block out things that happened to me and to hide my emotions. I promised myself to never let anyone get too close to me. I feared being hurt. God gave me a dream to help me come to my senses. I would like to share it with you.

In my dream I was walking with my friend and surrounding us was chaos. You can see people crying, buildings burning, and loud sirens. I could see my mother crying in the middle of the road and my family hovering over her. I asked "what's wrong?", but no one answered. It was like I wasn't even there. My friend then said, "turn around and look". When I turned I could see green grass and butterflies all around us.  There were people lined up on the grass. They were ascending through the clouds. I looked up as the clouds parted where I stood, and a hand reached for me, but then I woke up.

I was confused and I couldn't piece together why I had the dream. Only to hear from the Spirit later " I gave you that dream to show you; your life has been filled with chaos because you won't seek me first." I made some changes in my life. I had to seek God first to calm the storms in my life. I know my life won't be perfect, but trusting God makes it worth it!

Throughout my walk, with Christ, I have been told that "All your pain has a purpose." After joining Purity & Peace I realized that my pain is to help minister to other women. God has given me the strength to share my trials and tribulations with others. Through my sharing comes a blessing for someone else. My reward is knowing someone was able to find healing the same way I did. Find your blessing through your pain and remember your pain has a purpose.

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...
