It is his will that every need be supplied...

If it is God's will to supply and be the provider of all of our needs. Why do we fret? Why do we worry? Why don't we trust him at his word.

Philippians 4:19 (Whole Chapter)
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 

Since his word says, he will supply our NEEDS not all our WANTS. Really, if we got everything we wanted, How would God get the glory? Would we appreciate the things we have or will we complain that it is not enough? Would we still Praise Him for his wondrous works?

I doubt it. I love the scripture because he says, according to HIS RICHES and Glory.  When you read the Bible, Jesus did not have luggage carrying it from town to town. He only had the clothes on his back. The way was provided for him and he had to trust and believe by Faith that was true. God said move, YOU MOVE. Some of us can't do that because we worried about these temporary items we have started to find joy in but you not always going to be a size 4,6 8, or 9 nor can you pack up your house everytime God commands something of you. You have to be prepared to walk by Faith and trust that the way will be provided for you when you walking in obedience.
When your walking by Faith your believing in who God is as The Creator, Alpha & Omega, and Beginning & the End.

So whatever it is God needs of you to do. DO it. Don't ask. Trust. Walk by Faith. Believe.

Deuteronomy 7:9 (Whole Chapter)
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 


As I learned in church recently, a delay is not a denial..

 Hab.2And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
   3For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

 Tarry: To delay or be late in going, coming, or doing


Be Blessed In the Lord, as you walk closer to him... Let your ways be pleasing in his sight and know that he is with you always! He will supply all your needs.

If it wasn't for my mother...

Smiles...Laughs....

If it wasn't for my mother...

My Mother. My Mom. My Mama. How ever you want to call her, she is the reason you are who you are and how you are today. Yes, fathers too but this is about my mother. Some people may take that in a negative way but don't. This was ordained and approved by God. Everyone has a mother, she is the one who bathe you, taught you, knows you, and God created her for you. She isn't perfect but as I always say, Who is? My mother always told me that they do not give a manual on how to be a mother and I would say, Nor do they give a manual on how to be a daughter.

My mother is a beautiful lady, full of laughs, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, character and substance. After studying the Proverbs 31 woman, I realized how much my mother was like her. As a child, she made everything fun even cleaning, yes she has always been a creative person. Everyone that meets her adores her just because she is always herself. She taught me how to be myself and accept myself. Even at a point in my life when I dealt with low self esteem. Surprisingly, I did not see the beauty I see now in myself. I did not recognize my natural beauty or the glory God placed on me but my mother always did.

Proverbs 1:8-9:
   8My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
   9For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

Mother..A hard job and responsibility. So many children being given up or taken a way from their parents because of treatment or their parents lifestyle. Thankful enough, I had a a mother that choose me over herself, her dreams, her goals, and her happiness. Instead, her dreams became me, her lifestyle became me, her thoughts were of my safety, and her happiness was found in my smile. My Mother, an amazing woman, strong independent, ambitious, encouraging, determine, God-fearing, and always making the impossible to others, possible.

If it wasn't for my mother who knows where I would have been today or doing. Yes, she was over protective, but she had to be with so much evil in the world. Sure, I did not get to go to all the events or everywhere my friends would go but I couldn't because she knew all along what was best for me as her daughter. Yea, we were not the Cosby's, but we were always a family. She made time for me even when she didn't have time for herself. My mother always telling me how I can do bigger and greater things. Always exposing me the finer things in life and supporting me in all my goals & dreams.

Passage Ephesians 6:1
 1CHILDREN, OBEY your parents in the Lord [as His representatives], for this is just and right.



If it wasn't for my mother would I have met God when I did. Who knows? She saved my life and presented eternal life to me by introduce Christ in my life. She always kept me in church and we were always participating in church activities. At first, I hated it, but as I got older  I realized everything she did was for my best. Her goal all along through Christ was to bring out my BEST! The best smile, my best efforts, the best works, and the best in everything I do. Never settling for average and low standards. She and Christ built a standard in my life that I just can't bring down the bar. She helped me deal with what I considered flaws and helped me cope with my own imperfections. No, she never thought I wasn't a great daughter but she instead of telling me cause I couldn't see, she showed me and now I see.

So yes, your mother is hard on you and expects more but that is because she knows your best. She knows you. God gave you to her and her to you. She learns you and you learned her. She is your blessing and you were her gift.  When I look and see the difference my mom makes in people's lives, it brings me joy, happiness, and honor. You should work hard to make your mom proud of you and her proud of herself. I have seen some daughter not give there mothers' respect, honor, and appreciation. Regardless, you have to obey mom even when you do not agree.

Passage Ephesians 6:2:
   2Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
    2Honor (esteem and value as precious) your father and your mother--this is the first commandment with a promise--(A)
 
 
Honor:
High respect, as that shown for special merit; esteem:
Good name; reputation.
Principled uprightness of character; personal integrity.

 I know some people have problems with their mother or the relationship isn't that great but life is short so to walk around with strife, unforgiveness, and anger against your parents. Any moment, Any day, and at any time they could leave you and would you really want to leave things where they are or move forward to a happier life with Christ.  If you need help to move forward, then seek help from a neutral party that has sound Godly advice. It is not about who is right or admitting fault, it is about accepting your responsibility in the relationship and letting it go to build it together again.


Ephesians 6:3
    3That all may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth.


I love my mother! She means alot to me. I am thankful, that I can go talk to her, and she can come chill out with me. We can have lunch together and have meaningful conversation. We shop together and laugh together. I respect her and she respects me as her daughter. I am so proud of her and how she allow God to take over her life. She has been the best example to me.

Exodus 20:12:
   12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
She surprised me one day when she said how open I am to friends of all races. She said she was proud of me. I am thankful she taught me how not to judge a book by its cover but look beyond the cover and read the story. She taught me how to be friendly. The only reason she was able to be this great mother is because of God. He instructed her. She listened. She taught us ( me and my sister) all she knew and did her best so God could do the rest.
Matthew 15:4:
   4For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

Love your mother! 
Appreciate your mother. She is yours. You are hers. Your each others. Enjoy each other.


I know I do. I love you mother!

Your worthy of MUCH more... So Why settle?

Waiting... Waiting... Waiting...


So your waiting for Mr. Right to find you, come, and sweep you off your feet, for the music to play as you go running on the beach or a field to each other. Magical right? Too bad life is not a pre-scripted movie. You do not know the next scene and that he is not Mr. Right. The emotions are not played out but their real. Your a real person with real feelings and it is not always a happy ending. Especially, when your doing it your way or on your own and when you settle for Mr. Right Now, Mr. Convenient, or Mr. A-Okay. Are you not worth the wait? Can you not wait for God to Bless you with his connection? Yes, you can!
Hebrews 12:2 
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;...
Your an amazing person. You have accomplished amazing things with God. Your independent, compassionate, and a blessing in the making. You are worth the best. So, why you keep settling for less? Yes, your waiting. Yes, it seems long and you can become impatient but you have come too far to just BE with someone just to past the time away. There is so much more you could be doing with your time and emotions. Waiting isn't easy especially when your young and it can be even harder as you get older. God blesses those that wait. 

Psalm 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 

Wait and let God connect you to your other half. Yes, society is always in your face telling you, "Your getting older, Life is passing you by, Your too picky, No one is perfect." Does that mean you have to lower your standards, ethnics, morals, and desires for someone who doesn't have the same faith as you? Noooooo.. God is the one who set the standards within you. He made you that way. He made you with high hopes, dreams, desires,and goals. He gave you ambitions. He enlarged your territory and built your faith in him. Only God can bring them down or take them away. Only you can let them go.

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

The virtuous woman...Her Price...
You can't buy her with material things. Though she looks like a million bucks. She loves the Lord with her whole heart. Yes, she walks as a queen but  has a heart of a servant. She strides with confidence and smiles with assurance. She dresses herself with a royalty appeal. Her hands are blessed. Anyone that knows her praises her character and personality. She is a blessing to her neighbors and friends. Her qualities are endless. She cooks, cleans, manages her house, has her own business, and makes her own money. If your not exhibiting these qualities, you better start to work on it now, because this is a lifestyle for her. Become that rare jewel that is worthy of the best that God has to offer.
 
In addition, fear is also a cause for settling. Fear of being alone. Fear of living alone. Fear of eating alone. Fear of never being loved or being in love. Fear, is always trying to remove your FAITH, trying to paralysis you and trap you but your bigger than that! God is bigger than that and stronger.Your worthy of much more.
 
Passage 1 John 4:4:
   Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

 Next you start to think, maybe its me, maybe I am the problem. Well if your exhibiting Godly character and substance then your not the problem. Let God prepare you for your spouse. It is in his word. Take your time to read the Proverbs 31 Woman. She is the example of a great leading lady.


Be patient as you wait. Be productive as you wait. Pray as you wait. Waiting isn't just sitting at the corner everyday looking for him to drop out the sky. You should prepare for him. How? By already walking and talking as a wife with Christ. Get involve in your local church and ministry. Start reading your Bible and join church organizations for women.  Stop sitting there making yourself miserable. Start making friends and spending time with them doing something positive in Godly fun. 

Never allow someone to use you, mistreat you, walk over you and lie to you. You are bigger, greater, and smarter than that. You know someone is no good for you yet you keep answering the calls, texts, emails, and facebook messages. Why are you checking their facebook to see if they have moved on? Come on now. Your bigger than that. Your worthy of much more.

Proverbs 18:22:
   22Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

A good thing. Let's define Good...
 morally excellent; virtuous; righteous;
of high quality; excellent;  honorable or worthy; in good standing;
reliable; dependable;  financially sound or safe;  not spoiled or tainted
cheerful; optimistic;  skillfully or expertly done; favorably regarded;   
profit or advantage; worth; benefit:
moral righteousness; virtue
 
So if your not a GOOD thing or a GOD thing, which I like to use, than how can you expect God to give you someone your not even worthy of having?
 
Proverbs 12:4 A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.

Interesting...

Are you honorable to have? Are you skillfully done in your apparel, make-up, and image? Can you be well displayed as a crown or should you be hidden like decayed bones? 
And when people see you do they ever have anything good to say about you. Are you a good thing to have or not?  Does God speak highly of you? Well you should make sure he does since he is the one doing the divine connections.  I know there are many who believe that one person can't be meant for one person but I look at Adam and Eve. I only know Adam and Eve.

Genesis 2:18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

Remember when God is part of the connection the marriage is like a braid that no man can depart because God is in the middle of the connection. It is strong and solid. No, I am not saying there are perfect marriage because there are no perfect people but with God every shower won't be a storm and every whirl wind will be a breeze. Only if God is the source and connection in the marriage.

You are worthy of much more. You are worthy! Worthy!

~~Feel like Trouble on Every Side?

God woke me up EARLY this morning as usual with this topic...

Is there ever a point in your life when you feel you have trouble on every side?

 
Define Trouble:
to disturb the mental calm and contentment of; worry; distress; agitate.
to put to inconvenience, exertion, pains, or the like: 
to cause bodily pain, discomfort, or disorder to; afflict: 
to annoy, vex, or bother: 
to disturb, agitate, or stir up so as to make turbid, 
Dictionary.com


  Seems every phone call or text message is trouble, stress, depression, and affliction. Just some type of attack from the enemy. You feel like ever two steps you make to get ahead, it seems as if your kicked back five more steps by unforeseen circumstance.  You start to screen your phone calls and check your voice mail less.

Do not get weary in your well doing! God has not left you nor has he forsaken you. If you feel you have trouble on your right & you left, know you have grace & mercy with you as well. 
God's angels following you through every situation and trouble.


Hebrews 4:16:
  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Learn how to call upon the Lord at all times such as good times, bad times, and troubled times. In those moments, when you are confused on what to do, when to do and how to do it. 
Learn to seek God in everything and you will always be ahead of the game. 

Psalm 46

   1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
   2Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
 


Sometimes as women, we carry someone else trouble, we just pick up there problems and make them our own. No one asked us to do it. We just do it. We're more worried about the outcome then the person in the situation. We are out trying to find solutions when their sitting at home waiting for the problem to solve itself. First, we must learn to....help the person pray for themself. Yes, it is ok to want to help and we as women all have a mothering nature within us and we want to mother adults. I learned, you will only make yourself miserable, trying to mother grown folks. People have to learn to depend on God and not depend on man or well you! So we must teach them how to go to God by going to God with them. 

Psalm 121

   1I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
   2My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
   3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
 


By doing so, we will help build their faith in God, and recognize he is all power. We must help other run to God for them self and not to us as life savers. God is this alpha and omega. He know our beginning, end, and middle. Sometimes we get in God's way with dealing with someone by always trying to take his glory in saving the day. How does God get his testimony if your taking the exam for them. In school, that is considered cheating, we are not allowed to cheat. 

Jer 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you;


Also, learn how to go to the bible for direction and answers. Allow God to be God. Let him do something, cause you can't do everything, he can do all things.  Build your relationship with God and help someone build their relationship with God as well.  In order to really know who God is and what he can do, you got to spend time with him and get to know him. Learn his will for your life through your relationship with him. He will even let you see what is really going on in the troubled times. Surprisingly, he will tell you what to do in those times as well. No it is not really a surprise, he is our father, he takes care of his children.

Psalm 33:20-22:
   20Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
   21For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
   22Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.


Always believe God will take care of you, through every obstacle, trouble, affliction, confusing moment, unsure decisions, and every attack of the enemy. 
Psalm 22:19:
19But be not far from me, O Lord; O my Help, hasten to aid me!


God will take CARE of you! Trouble? God is the answer. So when trouble calls..CALL GOD!

Amazing Women Of God

- Dedicated to the Awesome Women of God that I am blessed to know! 



I just had an amazing time with some awesome women of God celebrating a birthday. As we sat together at the table, I looked at all their faces, their smiles, listen to jokes, and saw their personality show up in many different ways.  I thought to myself, this is the start of something BEAUTIFUL, because God is the center of attention.


 Women loving one another. Appreciating One Another. Uplifting one Another.
Supporting each other in Christ. 
All with their own identities in God and made him their friend first. 

That is the difference in Godly friendships. In order to build and have everlasting friendships in Christ you must befriend God first. He teaches us how to be good to one another and how to treat your neighbor as yourself.

 


Yes, we all come from different backgrounds, states, cities, and towns but when God is the common focus of your life the blend is flavorful. I laughed. Look at God! At work, right at this table, in each and everyone of us. All of us displaying his glory in this fellowship together. Everyone supporting each other, listening to each other, and allowing God to build an amazing unit with us and him. We are one body with many parts. We work together.





No one was dissing the other, no one envy of the other, no one mistreating the other but everyone looked forward to spending time together. 

Young women of God socializing together in such a positive way.

The valuable jewels God has hidden and kept to himself are these women of God and I am sure there are many more jewels out there but I can only talk about these few. I look around my church at the array of awesome women of God. God just keeps planting them and placing us together to glorify him. Each loving one another truly and sincerely.




 
God's glory is displayed through them in such a strong positive, pure, and amazing way. Each one is beautiful, created for & in God's glory. He gave them smiles like the sun shining on a summer day. Yes, you need shades. He blessed them with independence and the ability to stand against every obstacle that has came their way. He made them strong with delightful personalities. He gave his tender mercy and love & kindness to share with everyone they meet. He created feminine, thoughtful, God-fearing, saved, single, and prayerful women of God with a servants heart.

He blessed their hands with great talents and abilities. 
They are creative, ambitious, caring, giving, thoughtful, and loving women. 

 

God allowed his glory to shine around them every where they go so that their noticed without even trying. He planted his desires in their hearts and they seek him the more everyday. They look to God to plan their day. Their excited about him and his wondrous works in their lives. You can see the excitement for him in their lifestyle.






I am thankful just to know them. Just to be apart of their lives at this moment and time.      We as women must learn to appreciate each other and to not mistreat each other. No one is perfect but we are all working to perfection. Building Godly friendships is important in your walk with Christ. You now have a prayer partner, praise partner, and worship buddies.  

Iron sharping Iron.

Look at the jewels God has blessed you with and appreciate your blessings. I do!
