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…

We are so used to...

We are so used to allowing our current circumstances consume us, we lament we groan and moan and we are often so confused as to what the next step must be that we should take.  The groaning and moaning of How unfair this is, Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?  Etc and we find people to complain to but we do nothing about our situations. We then use our situations to fall in abuse of substances and we even turn to other things we never thought we were capable of…because we are so vulnerable and the enemy will use that vulnerability to his advantage. We worry about what this one is going to say. How is it going to look to others? I won’t be able to do this and that? My question to you is, can you afford not to walk away? These are the thoughts that keep us captive. In Hosea 4:6 God reminds us that my people perish through lack of knowledge. So surely when you know better you should do better, right? Look we are all at different spaces in our lives but ...

It's OKAY not be OKAY...

TODAY is one of those days I don't allow myself to have many of... A day where I am extremely emotional and teary and life seems to have gotten the better of me just for today. I don't tend to dwell on my negatives I am known to be the optimistic one and always positive however today I am far from that. I allow myself to be in this space because in this moments of being emotional and allowing myself to cry because they say tears are healing waters. I am very much aware of my surroundings and giving myself this space to just process every disappointment and whatever else I am dealing with. A close friend and mentor of mine told me a few months ago that I should learn to unpack things as they happen and not bottle it all up and then I explode when things just get too much. As a mother, wife and whatever else I am to whoever it all just got too much. Have you ever gotten to a point where you question "Why?"   "Why do I even bother talking non stop with my k...

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...
