It’s been such a long while since my last post but I just felt this strong conviction to share my heart with you & the importance of being in the Presence of God.
As I had this song on repeat today I couldn’t help but be reminded of the night when I entered into God’s Presence with the hopes that He would make a way for something I was believing in Him for.
Oftentimes, we’re going and going and going and we rarely stop to reevaluate where we’re heading. This pandemic forced me to do just that. I was finally able to get a clear vision and make sense of some things. Once I was able to truly turn to the Lord, He lifted the veil and I was able see things from a different perspective – God’s perspective. That was when I was able to understand why I had to go through the things I’ve experienced in the last several years. As challenging, painful, and uncomfortable as it was (and still is) to go through all of it there was purpose behind it all. Not just in these positions but overall my experiences in life. By His grace, it has transformed me into the person I am today and it has prepared me for what He’s called me to. The vision He gave me is no longer on the back burner and I know there’s so much more He’s calling me to.Read More »
Ever felt like throwing in the towel?! Ever felt tired of fighting?! Ever felt like your faith & hope in God was literally hanging from a thread & all you wanted to do was give up?!
As I shared on my previous post, 2019 was by far the most challenging year I’ve had & not a day went by that I didn’t wake up feeling anxious, tired & defeated. Every day felt like it was on repeat.
Everyday consisted of waking up at 6am to prepare a bottle of milk for my 2 yr old before I got myself ready for the day, make sure my oldest was up & out the door by 8am, I would drop the baby off at the sitter while Edison dropped our oldest son off at school & I would head to work. I would wait for my oldest to walk to my job from school, go on my lunch break at 3pm, pick up the baby at the sitter & stop to get them something to eat before dropping them both off to my grandmother. There goes my hour of lunch only to get out of work at 7pm, 8pm or even 9pm sometimes. Once I got home, I was lucky if I had 10 mins in the shower with zero interruptions. It would be around 11pm by the time I finally hit the bed & do it all over again the very next day.
I came across this song today on my playlist & I was reminded of the day I heard it for the first time. I had this song on repeat for 2 days straight because I resonated with it so much. That same day I had taken some time to journal & I remember telling God, “Take me deeper, Lord.” I desired to know Him deeply & intimately. I felt as though I had only known Him on a surface level but I wanted to go deeper. Mannnnn, I didn’t realize how bold of a statement that was when I made it.
I was anticipating for 2019 to be an amazing year despite how 2018 ended but instead it was the most challenging year thus far. It wasn’t until recently that I felt a shift finally take place in my mind, my heart & in my spirit.
I’ve come across messages that have blessed me immensely throughout my journey but this message today was so timely. Only God knows! There are truly no words to describe the faithfulness & power of God. It’s an experience one must have for themselves.
It’s been over a year since my last post & I’ve hesitated in posting due to my own insecurities, fears, doubts, shame, pride & challenges I’ve been facing in my personal relationship with the Lord, my marriage, my family, my job & the list goes on.
I felt led to share this post & this video today in hopes that you would be blessed just as I have. My transformation begins TODAY & I pray it begins with you too. I pray that He would be glorified as we are flourishing in His Grace!! 💕🌻
