I'm way (in the wilderness) I feel.. blessed?

Grounding: basic training or instruction in a subject In short, earthing or grounding is putting the body in direct and uninterrupted contact with the earth. But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.  Jeremiah 17:7 NLT  If you're reading this you probably have an idea of where I got the title from. If you remember Big Seans' song, Blessed. The main part went like this "I'm way up I feel blessed!" This of course made everyone's theme song and caption. You get a new job, you have money, gotta scholarship, wonderful family, baby daddy is great.. #blessed. But as I walk with Jesus and grow in Him, that's not my theme song. In fact, scripture tells us that "blessed" is directly opposite of what the world considers. What does blessed even mean?  This past week I have been feeling dry. The Bible, that I uncandidly tell anyone who will listen how much I love has been the last thing I ...

When I'm running low.. when's the last time your phone was on 10%?  "I just don't feel anything"   she stated.   "I mean I know you're not going to always feel love, but I just feel... nothing right now."  Her words hesitantly left her mouth, but lingered in her heart. As she recounted the love that was once bubbling up in heart.  Was it my unclean mouth, or the fears that I keep listening to the reason why I'm feeling so  empty?  Or maybe it's the constant fillers I put in my life unknowing through Instagram, and Facebook. Neglecting to stay in the present, constantly being bombarded by trend, opinions, and overload.  Slowly putting back up my protectant shield abasing the One who really loves me, and has my back.  Or is it the trash I have allowed to enter into my ears? thinking it will do no harm but only leading me to crit...

Redemtion

Needing to be redeemed? Start over?  As much as I believe that I am uniquely, specially and delicately made by a creative God I was in denial for a long time that I was not vulnerable to the attacks on my self-worth and identity. Part of it was my pride, part of it was innocence, and the other part was the many wise lessons passed down from my parents.  I did not want to find myself repeating the cycle that I was always warned about. You know it, the girl who found herself trying to find her worth in men, her looks, and what society calls success.  But one day I looked up and found myself trying on her shoes. Which turned into a full on sprint in them. And eventually, I wasn’t sure how to get out of the tired, worn down shoes that only caused blisters to my vision, and callouses on my precious heart.  It wasn’t until a series of events turned my life upside down that I hit rock bottom and was forced to face myself and God in a...

Every other week In my little corner I secretly anticipate you when the time comes bringing in our gallons of water.. that I don't even drink any more yet I somehow perk up when I hear you're here for delivery                          your entrance... today I got the courage to ask  "what do you do?"                              I found myself stuck looking at you                              I found myself stuck the longer our eyes met                              The longer our eyes met the more simple glue seemed to turn into                              seasoned hardened super glue, that had separation only ...

                                                       I LOVE OUR TIMES TOGETHER I love our times together. Early in the mornings.. I seek your face.  You gently nudge me .                          As you greet me with a new day. The silence of your presence tells more than my own words ever could.  Your nudges are like shots of Hennessy, that enters in one way and quickly flows through my body. Burning like fire in my soul God, I just want you to know that I honor you. I want you to know that because of You I have made my room a sanctuary. Truly, its sacred. I'm listening to music, with my humidifier on and You in my heart.  When it used to be a place where my 'quiet time' was masturbating or lusting, I know find myself dived into Your word, or a serm...

I have a maker he formed my heart.  Before even time began, my life was in His hands.  I have a Father He calls me His own.  He'll never leave me no matter where I go.  He knows my name, He knows my every thought.  He sees these tears that fall, and hears me when I call.   Be yourself We were called to be different.  We were called to lead others, and not be of this world.  So often we get caught up in this world.  Why? We know better, we deserve, better, we can do better. Trying to please our own selfish desires as well as others that will only lead us to self destruction.  I believe this issue comes from within.  Which is why we are called to guard our hearts Proverbs 4:23.  Isn't God great?  Being completely justified by Christ gives us the power and confidence to live radically different lives that glorify Christ.  Dare to be different, don't be afraid to speak up, do what's rig...
