New Mercies


I am refreshed in knowing that I serve a God who can do all things and knows all things. I am excited that I can lean on Him and He will comfort me, but the key is that I have to seek him.

Because of Who God is, we receive His outpouring of love, grace, and mercy. He does not hold our faults and mistakes against us. He forgives us and washes us whiter than snow. It is like polishing silver or gold being set ablaze. When the process is finished, we shine.

For the past 12 days, I have been participating in a 40-Day Surrender Fast, visit Surrenderfast.com for more information.  This is my second fast with the group and sadly this will be the last fast that Dr. Celeste Owens will be hosting.  Last year I was excited about this fast, but I realize now that I was not fully committed even though I listened to the prayer calls, I read my daily devotion, I even wrote in my journal, daily.  I was consumed by the issues of my life and my faith was on sand, quick sand.  This time around, I am all in. And let me tell you I see the difference and I am so thankful that God does as well. I am refreshed. My spirit is light. I have a smile on my face and in my heart. I am loving this journey.  The verse for day 12 is, Proverbs 8:17 – I love those who love me. And those who seek me will find me.

We are in a finished placed. We are at the end of the storm. I don’t know about you but I am expecting great things to happen. I am ushering in the Holy Spirit and praising God for the revelations that is given to me.  I am not a prophet or prophetess. I am not a mystical being reading stars. No, I am God’s child and I hear His voice in my spirit saying, well done. This is the beginning and it will only get better.  

I encourage you to step out your comfort zone. Eliminate the unnecessary and incorporate the necessary. Look within and ask yourself, are you living your life on purpose and for God’s purpose? If not, get grounded, get on your knees, and seek God in spirit and in truth.  

Read that scripture above again. God loves those who love and seek Him. When you do that truthfully and with an open heart you will find peace and you will find Him.

Be Blessed

Celebration Of Life

Looking back over my life I can honestly say I did good shoot, I did better than good. Loosing my mother at 16 and me being a teenage mother I didn't crumble, crash and burn. Oh I did a zig when I should have made that zag. I believed too many lies and did not pay attention to the sirens warning me to run for the hills. I have made plenty of mistakes and many I wish I could go back and reverse, but God knew the plans he had for me because His word says that our steps are ordered. I have learned a lot about the psychological makeup of people including myself and that is why nothing surprises me anymore. I am not easily tricked up even though I may act like I don't see it, I do. I expect nothing and appreciate everything. Though I may be different, I celebrate my different because it and God has saved my life.  Bad choices and learned lessons. At 52 there are things that no longer matter as they did when I was young and impressionable. Looking back, all I can say is tha...

I Won't Complain

After a few work days of buses not showing up for their scheduled stops, me getting home close to 2 hours later than normal,  and no good sleep I'm reminded still, how good God is. Even the periodic snaps of depression and anxiety haven't caused me to forget how good God is. The key is encouraging myself because all storms pass. It amazes me to see so many people unaware of the true effects of mental illness. They tell you, get over it. They are the ones who have no debilitating physical or educational knowledge of the struggles. They don't understand the fight everyday to remain in a visual normal state of mind with tending to the tasks requiring your presence. They can't understand why you cry for no apparent reason. Unaware that some wish to lay down at any given time to sleep hoping to never awake again. Unaware that at any moment a fuse can blow in ones mind and all hell can be unleashed. Unaware that they may see beauty or bronze, while a depressive is seeing...

Stop Hiding Your Flaws part 2

In my last post, I talked about our flaws and why we shouldn't hide them. When I say flaw, I do not mean to insinuate worthlessness. No, I am pointing out that what others may see as a flaw, God created as a masterpiece, unique and particular. Yes, everything about you is unique and that is why I express the importance of not hiding. The definition of a flaw: a mark, fault, or other imperfection that mars a substance or object. Our lives are filled with many flaws. Unable to give birth,  unable to read or write, unable to drive a motor vehicle.  Deeper flaws of the physical and emotional are disfigurement,  physical disability,  missing limbs., mental illness.  These are all unique. Why do I say unique?  Because each of the above mentioned is an open door to revealing much more than the flaw itself. It is an opportunity to share and enlighten someone who needs to hear your story and see the winner before them. Courageous. Not defeated or defective...
