Blessed to have the missing link.

First and foremost I would like to thank God for my sister Candice Wingate who inspired this blog piece. You are truly appreciated. You have given me a new perspective of James 4:8 “Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty, is divided between God and the world.”

 I would often stray away from God and then wonder why He has not fulfilled His promise. I would keep Him so distant, and then wonder why everything I desired I never received. I would battle with my flesh and loving God.  I would pray and ask “God why haven’t you fulfilled your word?” Then it hit me that He hasn’t fulfilled his word because I keep him so far away. All God wants is to love His children. He wants our loyalty. I had created the habit of only going to God when it was convenient for me. He would make a way for me, but then things would flop. I had to cleanse my hands from the worldly things I desire and ask God to purify and sanctify my heart. I had to choose God because I knew that His promises were much greater than the things here on earth I desire just to please a man.

I shared this to remind you that all God wants is for us to draw closer to Him. Imagine yourself and God as two magnets stuck together; that's the relationship you need with him. God is the missing link to your chain. He will hold you together. When you draw closer to Him all that you NEED He will provide. The husband or wife you desire he will give you. Just stay on course.  God loves his children. He needs you to desire the same love He gives to you. Time is being wasted. Choose today who you will serve.

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...
