Fragile

Today I attended a memorial service for my sisterfriend, Tonya Webb-Montgomery.  She had a loving spirit outgoing personality and a smile that could light up any room.  She battled lupus for some years, yet through her journey she worked to fight the illness as well as make all she knew and loved (even some she didn't know) healthier and happier.  SHE is a major reason that I started this blog. She taught me that things get tough but fight through it and fight with a smile and "poppin" lip gloss(inside joke Tonya ALWAYS rocked her MAC lip gloss). LOL. Sometimes we find that life strikes blows that eventually make us feel that we are in hopeless situations, that there's no resolve or that we are fragile.  We must breathe deep and remember that no matter how fragile we are, we can still work, study to find to find your triggers, and trust God. There is a song by Tasha Page Lockhart that is awesome.  It discusses the realness of being fragile and having questions for God(and this is perfectly normal I don't care what anyone says). Life is not always fair. We don't always understand. Life does NOT alays feel good. But no matter what comes our way, no matter our struggles, shortcomings, weaknesses, all in all God knows how fragile we are and is always there to catch us when we fall if we let him. Be encourages. http://youtu.be/cKOqh1hXyS4

    Monica, your transparency is truly going to inspire others to open up and, in so doing; they are going to expel the brokenness, bit by bit. Thank you so much for being open to helping others heal, even as you heal. I am so grateful to GOD that YOU are growing. God wants your undivided attention, sis…My prayer for you is that EVERY distraction will be eliminated and that you will begin to hear the voice of the LORD like never before. I pray that HE would usher you into such an intimate place where only you and HE exist. Ask GOD to show you every broken piece that can only be mended by HIM. Allow HIM to usher you into wholeness, happiness, and healthiness. God has His eye on YOU. God bless you and thank you for your honesty. I am looking forward to reading more.

Weather Report

As I looked at my "Timehop" I saw a post I  wrote a year ago. The post was written as I watched the news, specifically the weather. It made me think, how many of us plan our day, waredrobe, etc around what the weatherman "predicts"? He says "a chance of rain" we take our umbrella. He says, "1-3 inches of snow" we wear boots. Even if when we look outside and there is NO sign of what the weatherman has predicted, we believe and carry out our day accordingly. What if we had the same faith in God, his promises and his word as we do the weatherman. Would we believe that "by his stripes we are healed" even when the dr report says differently? Will we believe that when we're in trouble "God will part the heavens and come down and grab hold of us" when we are in trouble regardless if there APPEARS to be no way out? Will we believe? When we look at our situations, bills, finances, life, and what we see doesn't match what God ha

Today I Pray

Today I pray against the spiriting depression! I pray that fir every negative thought, God replaces them with 5 positive, building, encouraging thoughts. I pray that when the spirit of loneliness creeps up, you feel Gods spirit of love. I pray that when the spirit of defeat creeps in, God overwhelms you with the spirit and the fighting warrior! I pray that when you feel like no one loves or appreciates you, god reminds you that I do. Sometime we may not get the love appreciation as WE would like but if we take THAT moment to think about how God feels we we don't love and appreciate him, our worries don't seem that significant.

Work It

Do the best that you can with what you've got. It may be a little, may be a lot. Regardless of the measure, we are all blessed with SOMETHING. The key is not to worry about what someone else has. If we constantly measure ourselves to others we may feel that we always fall short. When really we only know what people allow us to know. For instance, you may see a woman that is beautiful, with a georgeous husband, big house, expensive car. That same woman may have tons of weave, makeup covering up bruises from being abused from her hunk of a man. The point, live out YOUR destiny not someone else's. Be tue to God, yourself and those that love you. Seek and use he gifts and talents God gave YOU! Follow YOUR dreams and reach YOUR goals! What are YOU working with? Work it!
