Roles and Positions

I am at the place where people in my life have been repositioned. They no longer play the role I thought they should have. When you get to a certain place in your life realize that you cannot take everyone where God is taking you. There are some people that you will have to distance yourself from. It may hurt (living witness) but in the end you will be better for it. Every good person is not good for you in this destiny walk you are taking.

People are like the seasons. They change. Some people cannot handle your winter but are around in the spring. Some don't like the summer because they cannot stand the heat but once fall comes and the autumn rains(blessings) come they are waltzing in like nothing has changed.

Realize that you are not in the same place when you started this walk with Christ. As you mature and grow your taste and tolerance will change. And you have to take it very seriously. Everyone that started with you will not understand and will have something to say. And that is understandable and it doesn't matter. It is how you respond to certain situations that determine how you handle it and where you go after that.

Shift people if necessary. Remember that everyone cannot speak into your life. If you see no evidence of what they are telling you that you SHOULD be doing it, dismiss it with love. Your life is as stake and you have no time for games.

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...

When You Don't Understand

2018 was full of loss. Some of us lost loved ones, we lost our hope, our drive, our passion. It seemed like every single time we took steps to make progress life came and knocked the hell out of us. And it made me angry. I didn't understand why it seems like things kept going left when we were doing right. Why did people go ghost in the midst of a heartbreaking year? I let my anger affect the things that I was doing and I honestly didn't care anymore. Why should I extend myself when no one else was willing to do the same. I still served, I was there for others, I went to work, and I was angry. Truth be told I am still processing my anger. It didn't seem fair. It still doesn't seem fair. I don't need to be told anything deep or profound. I just need an understanding. I know that there are five stages of grief. I know that I can talk to God about anything. Have you ever done that and not received a response? Have you ever read the word for comfort and when you...

Are you bearing fruit?

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name." -John 15:16(NIV) Chosen to bear fruit. A reason your prayers may not be answered is because you are not bearing fruit. Are you sharing Jesus with others besides the ones who are in your circle? When was the last time you told a complete stranger something that could change their life? Like Jesus loves them, have a blessed day or week, etc. Do they see your light or do they see your dilemmas?  Things to consider. Stop avoiding strangers and start bearing fruit.
