Comfort zones...YAY OR NAY?

I love catching up with old friends it was great to speak to one of my old friends this morning, weird how one can forget how people sound but when you hear their voices it warms your heart. Friends are near and dear when we want them to be, sometimes catching up is good for the soul, sometimes we don’t realize the value people have in our lives, and I am always reminded of value these days, friendships with substance is very rare, we are in a world where people use people for personal gain, yet very few have friends who really are there for them through it all, reminds me of Jesus the forever friend always there when we need him even when we cant face ourselves because of the things we have done wrong and us keeping our distance from him, yet he remains faithful to us in our unfaithfulness…

God has me on a journey of self discovery, a journey to start a fresh and it’s scary but I am willing to go through it because “obedience is better than sacrifice”. I have had this sentence in my head constantly for the last two weeks “its in the moments of decision that your destiny gets shaped” I am scared I don’t know what tomorrow holds but I trust God to work it out for me. I want to encourage you today if there is something you have been putting off for a while, a decision you need to make, lay it before God and let Him guide you, and make that decision no matter how hard it is and walk it out in faith…It’s hard but do-able and you are not alone God is with you.

We all have daily choices to start a fresh or to exist in the old, inevitably it’s your choice. Someone told me that I am my own worst enemy and I believe that to be true, yes I have realized I am my own Giant, I stood in the way of God to take control of my circumstances because I wanted to handle it all by myself, doing it my way, however my way lead to a series of bad choices that I regret and still have to live with today, however I know I have been redeemed by God and so I can start a fresh with a clean slate…how many of us are out there allowing the enemy to remind us of our pasts constantly? You are not your past!! You are God’s workmanship, made in His image and when He looks at you all He is sees is beautiful, pure, blameless…


It’s when I started seeing my true worth in God, that’s when I had to make better choices for myself and trust God for the outcome. FEAR TRAPS US IN OUR COMFORT ZONES EVEN IF IT’S DETRIMENTAL TO OUR WELL BEING, SOMETIMES AS WE WAIT ON God to make a move God is actually waiting on us to step out in faith. No one knows what you are facing but yourself and so you have to trust God for whatever decision you need to make. We serve a faithful God who loves us, its for us to realize just how much He does and when we do realize that, we wont settle for less than what we deserve…

I THANK YOU...

Today I have this IMMENSE gratitude towards people whom I have known for a season and whom have now either removed themselves from my life with ill intentions or whom has accepted my way of ending our season. I must say I never thought that some friendship doors that I had to close were laying so heavily on my heart and it was holding me back. I do feel FREE and I am moving forward at a pace that is surprising me, ALL GLORY TO GOD! I have such gratitude towards those people who have moved on for whatever reason and I am so filled with JOY this morning that my soul cannot contain it and I want to speak a blessing over each person whom I have had the honor of knowing but who has now moved on, I pray a blessing of GREAT things to come in your life and I PRAY THAT GOD WILL SHOW YOU MIGHTY THINGS AND THAT YOU WILL STAY CLOSE TO JESUS, IN JESUS NAME,MAY YOU LATTER BE GREATER THAN YOUR FORMER, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN! Just a small ENCOURAGEMENT for those out there who is still holding onto to...

No one is always busy...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif...

Thought for the day...

When someone shares something with you in confidence don't go jumping on their issues' band wagon, don't make their issue yours, respect their issue in the way it is presented to you don't go making up your own stories because in the end the person who shared with you has made peace with it and you who has now made it your issue is just showing that you are not that "mature" to deal with the information given, examine your own heart and deal with your issue accordingly. We are all different and we deal with things differently and work through things differently so let us respect the differences, doesn't make my way right and your way wrong. It is what it is
