I am a Firm believer that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I love talking about real situations and finding out real solutions through him. I motivate people to get back up to dust themselves off and keep pushing despite of any difficulties in their life. I talk about things the Holy spirit leads me to talk about to encourage myself and others to stay on the road to success and the only way we can succeed is through the love of God. I have notice following these belief my life has got a whole lot better. I'm quite excited to see where it goes.
Hey guys I'm sorry I let real life struggles get in the way of my passion. Realizing I was waiting for the right opportunity (perfectionist), being a procrastinator, comfort eating, sleeping, slowed my progress but Thanks be to God he didn't allow his child to stay and deteriorate, he gave me favor when I was in the self destruct zone, he reveal to me this behavior and is giving me the opportunity to work on it daily.So today I choose not to procrastinate and wait for the right opportunity, I choose to trust God and his plan for me and not lean on to my own understanding, I prayer this help someone in Jesus Name Amen

OK so today I learned I was getting a quick fix from watching other people in their sin. A quick fix is known as a hasty remedy- A plan, or set of actions proposed or used to solve a problem
The alleviation of a disease's symptoms without a cure. A plan, or set of actions proposed or used to solve a problem. I didn’t think I had a problem until God revealed it to me. When I have the desire to sin but I know that it is wrong, I would tend to watch other people sin and feel like I’m OK because I’m not doing it, but at the same time I don’t feel bad for them, I kind of envy them because they can still do it but I can’t. So my fix is to watch them or continue to hang around certain people, knowing that they are going to talk about or post about the so-called fun sin that they got going on in their life at the time. Then when I want to make time for God , I’m wondering why can’t I reach him like before, why do I feel stuck in life like I should be doing something, but can’t put my finger on what it is, then boom God revealed that I was living my life of sin through other people because it was in my heart, If God brought me out of the land of destruction, I should be learning I should be getting wiser getting ready for the next level, that God will place in my life, but I can’t get better if I’m living my life through other people. I don’t party anymore so why am I watching people still party, that only takes me further away from the plan God has for me. I’m married so why am I still socializing with people who think it’s OK to be with multiple men, or is living a single lifestyle. What do me and this person have in common NOTHING! Only that she is doing something that I used to do, so I socialize with her, because it takes me on a trip back down memory lane. If this sounds good tune in because there's more!

I give lots of examples so please tune in... Love ya

Stagnant- stagnant. The definition of stagnant is someone or something that has little or no movement or activity. An example of stagnant is a pond in which the water is not moving.of a body of water or the atmosphere of a confined space) having no current or flow and often having an unpleasant smell as a consequence.
Things can make us stop flowing, like one minute you’re on top then the next you are at a stand still things are not flowing the way that they should in your life. You have become Stagnant
Things that can make you become stagnant is becoming arrogant, pride, and as we learned before you can self worship yourself and self idolize yourself
So let’s talk about the main 2 points which are arrogant and pride in order for us to get to the root of this problem we must first understand what it is.

it seems to me that its easy for me to follow God when I can see him working, healing, and blessing in my life. It's easy for me to prayer, and praise his name. But when things start to get rocky or switch up or shaky, I start to get rocky, shaky and I start to switch up. I waver I get nervous, worried, anxious and frustrated. In Matthew Chapter 8 Jesus disciples got shaky ,nervous, they switch up, which led them to run to Jesus while he was sleeping in our time of trouble let us run to Jesus, when we might think he's sleeping on us, that he may calm the sea's, and storms in our life

Our Fairness Vs God’s Fairness
Mumbling and complaining off what we think is fairness Matthew 20-11:12
When they received it, they protested and grumbled at the owner of the estate, saying, ‘These men who came last worked [only] one hour, and yet you have made them equal [in wages] to us who have carried [most of] the burden and [worked in] the scorching heat of the day.’
Matthew 20:11-12 AMP
We have to look at it God picks and choose what gift he wants to give people, Somebody can have a life that it is easier for some , the trials and tribulations isn’t as hard as it is for some like it is for others.
Sometimes we look at other people's lives and compare it to our own and sometimes we get jealous without the understanding of us being even jealous.

Have you ever been so busy, worried, or anxious that you forgot to eat, or take care of yourself properly? Are things piling up, someone always wanting something out of you, not knowing that you are on the verge of breaking down, or 2 seconds from going off on somebody? Have you notice that you just don't have the time to rest and when you do try and rest 100-1000 things are going through your mind? Have you tried to do so much & yet it's still not enough?
Well that's how my life been the last couple of days. Let's talk about this strong black woman became weary and had to find rest in God

So as I was praying 2 words came to me clear, I didn’t know what these words mean I done heard them before at my sister Selah retreat but I never got a chance to dissect to get it in my system and apply it to my daily life, So the first word is persevere
Persevere- continue in a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no prospect of success.
So God is telling me to continue in him, continue with the things that are uplifting him, my prayer time, worship time, my reading the word time, times telling others of his greatness even in the face of difficulty when it doesn't look like something fabulous or wonderful will happen
God is awesome because that’s how I was feeling having issues with my kids, and sometimes it feels like I’m being mocked by the ones I love most, Sometimes it feels like why waste my time, let them do whatever they are trying to do and see how far that leads them. God is saying continue in the course of action, continue to love them continue to teach them about me despite not seeing the success right now.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
Continue to ask your husband will you have a bible study with me, will you go to church with me, continue to tell him about my goodness regardless of the difficulty that's going on at that time
Continue Continue Continue
The second word he gave me is solitude again I have heard this word before but never dissected it. The first thing that comes to mind is alone time. I was right
So what does that mean to have Solitude in Christ
For one, it's a sacrifice, no not slaughtering an animal sacrifice LoL. Its to give up something for the sake of a better cause. You are giving up your FREE will to follow his perfect divine will. To have Solitude in Christ is to have a time where you are alone with him, enjoying him, thanking him, a chance to get away from the worldly things that's causing you everyday problems. It's so much more guys tune in with your girl voice of reason and you are behind the scenes.
