The Mature Decision

1 Corinthians 10:23(NIV) reads: " Everything is permissible-but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible-but not everything is constructive."

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can do whatever you want to do. Now.... are you seeing any benefits?

Speaking from experience, doing what you want to all the time can eventually hurt you. A lot of times it is more destructive than constructive. Let's keep it real shall we. At some point in time you will have to start making mature decisions in this walk with Christ.

At some point in time, you have to stop partying all night Saturday and then attending church on Sunday and giving God a hungover praise. You cannot open your legs (Ladies) to every man you date. Do you realize everytime you sleep with someone you are connecting more than your bodies? Be mindful. You cannot cuss out everybody and then preach love. You cannot correct any and everybody and nobody can tell you anything. Hypocritical much.. yeah it is. And people are watching you. You are a salaried employee.. wonderful. You still need to show up on time everyday. Again.. people are watching you.

Every decision you make affects your blessings. Either it releases the hand of God or it hinders it. If you are waiting on somethings consider some of the decisions you have made lately. With a repentant sincere heart, pray to the Lord to help you make the mature decision. It may not always be the popular one but it could save your life.

No Strength 2 Color

They say broken crayons still color but what do you do when you don't have the strength to paint a better picture. What is all of your energy is gone? What do you do then? You look for a solution because what is familiar is no longer working. People seem to think that you have it all together and in reality God has fixed it where you have to completely trust Him and it seems that everything is falling apart. I am here to encourage us today. We aren't going always going to be in this position. I believe that God has to do something because we have done all we can do and nothing is happening.  The harder the press the greater the oil. We have to be crushed so we can be used by God not people. (Catch it) In this season, don't let any person take advantage of you. It's okay to say no. Do not let them guilt trip you. Gather the strength to color even if you don't see the frame yet. It's not a puzzle but the pieces are slowly coming together. I have n

Prayer Affects and Effects

There are people in your life that need your prayers. This is something that we all know. Have you ever prayed for somebody that you don't know? Mind blowing question right?! Effective prayers have a postive affect on a life, yours included. It is actually a sign of maturity when you pray for someone you don't know. We have to get out of our "prayer" comfort zones. Pray for others besides your closest family and friends. When was the last time you prayed for an enemy? You need to pray for them on a consistent basis. God will place them in your presence so you can pray for them. Prayer changes your life and other people's lives. It is one of the most beautiful and humble acts you can do. And remember to be effective with your prayers. You don't need big words to pray. All you need is a sincere heart and a willing spirit. Realize this: when you pray and cry.. Your tears never fall down your face. They fall up. Scripture: Colassians 1:9-13 Follow me on

Embracing Purpose

It's been a minute since I have blogged. There have been many changes in life on a personal and professional level. Recently I celebrated my 38th birthday. For the first time in a very long time, I am genuinely excited about life and what is for me. I am learning what I should tolerate and what I shouldn't. I cannot put my purpose on hold anymore because certain people are afraid of change. I am no longer ashamed of my past. I am no longer walking in fear due to abandonment and rejection. This is not the time for me to slack in order for others to feel comfortable. Many people are content where they are and that is fine. I am not. I am not forcing relationships to flourish. If you are connected to me then you should be able to adapt to the positive changes in life I am making. The same goes for you. Why are you settling for less than you are worth? On Sunday, one of the ministers told us to examine what we tolerate. Are you comfortable in your life? You cannot complain ab
