A Time For Everything

I'm learning this about life: There is a time for everything...

Some people...well, let's just say they also need a little bit of help knowing what time it is.

This is the first video of a series I would like to do called #letstalk

Let me know what you think readers :)

But seriously though, what do you guys think? Is it wrong for a guy to come and approach you at the gym or should he wait until you are finished your work and then approach you? Creepy or considerate? #letstalk

It's testimony time!

From caterpillar, to cocoon and now, the butterfly stage- TAKING FLIGHT  IN JESUS NAME OF COURSE

Yes!

It's that time ...TESTIMONY TIME!

Emerging from my cocoon!

This evening, my kindred spirit and I spent time creating testimony videos of God's goodness towards us this past year.

See video Below..

Also to come, more photos, videos and postings

Moving Forward

This year I pray for exponential growth in ALL the areas of my life that will bring UTMOST glory to God and I claim this to be done in Jesus' name! WHAT HE HAS STARTED HE WILL COMPLETE AND PERFECT #iamhisworkmanship

Not looking back at my old friends, past mistakes, my old hang outs, my old habits, NOPE

This is the time where I learn to move FORWARD in the direction God is leading me and leave those who are not coming with me...

INCLUDING FAMILY MEMBERS

You can be grateful for those God puts in your life, but when the season comes to an end, do not be grieved, for where the Lord closes a door, He always opens up another one

A Testimony ..Before and After Soldier Bell Fitness

Dear Readers...

YES!

With the help of the Lord, I ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING! I reached PART of my fitness goals from last year!



Last year I resolved to reach my fitness goal of 150 (it was calculated that I would probably only be able to reach 160 in the time frame that I was to train with Soldier Bell)



So here I am in 2013 at 160! I have ten more pounds to go! woot woot! And get this: My church is doing a 12-hour fast this month...talk about kill two birds with one stone -->Get closer to God AND lose the remainder of my weight??? MY GOD IS GOOD OH!

 Truly He is a good God lool, only He could've orchestrated that or known that I would be struggling to reach that final goal...so it's gonna be just as it was in the beginning of this journey, ME AND GOD!

Last year the Lord convicted me. He said your body is the temple where the Holy Spirit dwells and right now this temple needs to be rebuilt. How could I say no to my beloved Father? He truly listened and helped me on my way. He brought all the right friends, support systems and resources, not to mention a whole new wardrobe as incentive LOL

Truly as much as I commend Soldier Bell Fitness in his field of expertise, I have to give an even bigger round of applause to the Lord... for HE was my comforter when I would cry before and after a training session, HE was my cheerleader on the days where I dreaded or struggled to go the gym, HE was my friend who laughed with me when I was so sore the next day I couldn't sit on the toilet properly, HE was my counselor when I would be tempted to binge eat or eat for comfort....

I can say, Jesus was my one and only true friend through this whole experience. He is just an amazing guy and I wish that EVERYONE knew Him like I do LOL! We're still drawing closer and I know that this is just one of the many journeys we are on....I will soon upload videos and pictures of what I eat, my fitness goals/achievements.

So again shoutouts to my homie Jesus for being with me through iiiit alll! The tears, the pain, the confusion, the joy, the sheer discovery of self...

I am truly a new creature, from within!


Je t'aime papa! I couldn't have made it without you xox


To conclude:

IF IT WASN'T FOR HIS GOODNESS TOWARDS ME....

I would be dead by now

IF IT WASN'T FOR HIS GOODNESS TOWARDS ME...

I would still be shackled in bondage (fear, anxiety, depression, suicide)

IF IT WASN'T FOR THE LORD'S GOODNESS AND KINDNESS TOWARDS ME

I would have no hope for a better future, a better tomorrow

BUT GOD...

I am thankful that I have a friend in Jesus, for He saw me at my worst, loved me at my worst and carried me through my most painful hour (sadly I can only admit that in retrospect)

Sometimes we think He is nowhere to be seen because the storm is raging and the wind is howling.

I pray today for a heart, mind, soul and spirit of gratitude for all of us today friends. This will allow us to see His goodness even through the darkest hour.

Intensive Care Unit

Good evening everyone,

Before I go to bed, I need to write down some things of importance.

I don't write this blog just for fun (I do enjoy writing)

I write this blog because I hope that someone out there who needs to know that power of Christ truly IS compelling reads this and desires to know Him even more.

I hope that the same desire that I have to get to know Him better will be transferred to you.

I also hope that you will come to know Christ for yourself, as your personal savior, your one and only, you're everything and most of all the answer to every question you could possibly ever have.

 Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom and all His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you"

Do I want all things to be added unto me? Of course! I'm a human.

I want the nice clothes, and the husband, and the white picket fence and the house in a pleasant neighborhood.

But what about what God wants?

Didn't He make me?

When I meet Him face to face and He asks me what I did with the time He gave to me on this Earth, will I have excuses saying "Oh I didn't have enough time?"

Or will I say "I did my best with the time that you gave me Father. I did my best to reap the harvest, I did my best to plant good seed that would land on fertile soil and I did my best to please you. I did my best to make sure that you and I were still in touch, still connected, still on the RIGHT path.I did my best to run this race with perseverance, I did my best to endure. I did my best to tell people about you as much as I knew about you. I did my best.

Will you accept that today Jesus?

That I did the best that I could to do and complete your will? Otherwise, like I said above, then I have wasted my time.

But today you gave me an interesting revelation.

Following Christ is about redemption.

Time is redemptive in the Spiritual realm.

"If you can do it in the physical then you can do it in the spiritual"- S.B

 Therefore be clock-wise not counter clockwise lol

goodnight and God bless you!

God IS Always In Control

My my my ...

HOW TIME FLIES WHEN YOU`RE HAVING FUN, EH?!!

Sorry for the late blog but I really haven't had much time to sit and write all that has been going on.

For one:

I have been given the privilege to work as a Kindergarten teacher at the school located within my church..

This has become my heart beat. I wake up every morning giving glory to God, knowing that I am going where I am supposed to be going and stationed right where I am supposed to be.

A brief testimony: I essentially took a week off from work to go on vacation with the intention of spend some time catching up with the Lord, seeking His face, His will for my life, you know all that lovey-dovey intimate stuff...

Then came a phone call asking if I would like to join the faculty and when the Holy Spirit confirmed that I was to say yes, I found out that the week of training for faculty members was the very same week that I had booked off.

I can think of three scriptures that describe how I feel and what God is taking me through.

 Matthew 7:33 " But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and these things shall be added unto you"

John 4:34: "Then Jesus explained: "My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work."

1 Timothy 1:12 :" thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength to do his work. He considered me trustworthy and appointed me to serve him,"

Knowing all this has helped me to wake up every morning, face the task before me and keep holding for my help that comes from the hills.

Currently is not a good time to discuss all the events taking place at my other job, but let's just say that God is good and He is in control and I'm going to try this whole praising in advance thing, not because of what He's gonna do but because I'm GRATEFUL for WHO He is to me

As for my fitness training I am down to 175 from 188 last month (PRAISE THE LORD), meaning I am almost at my goal weight of 160!!  I AM GOING TO REACH MY WEIGHT GOAL PEOPLE!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! I HAVE NEVER SET A GOAL AND SET MY EYES ON IT TO DO IT AND HERE I AM, BY THE GRACE OF GOD AND THE STRENGTH OF CHRIST WITHIN ME, DOING IT AND ALMOST THERE!!!!!I 

Man, I am just SOOOOO thankful to God because of who He is. He doesn't have to be soooo good to me, so sweet, so kind, so gentle, so loving, so merciful... but HE IS...BECAUSE THAT'S WHO HE IS... 

Needless to say, I'm falling in love with Jesus all over again.

Today there was a concert even called Rock The River and though I could only stay to see Canton Jones, I love EVERY single minute of it because it just confirmed to me that WHERE THERE ARE TWO OR MORE GATHERED IN MY NAME, THERE AM I IN THE MIDST OF THEM. It didn't matter that it was raining and people were getting soaked and a bit chilly but my God was the presence of the Lord ever there and was it ever a pleasure to be dancing up a storm and vibing all for the glory of God ...YES YOUNG PEOPLE, DON'T FORGET TO BE AND STAY YOUNG UNTIL THE TIME COMES FOR YOU TO GROW UP LOL

En tout les cas...

There is more I would like to write but this will have to do for now,

Thank you to my faithful readers and thank you to my cheerleaders and prayer warriors, I am GRATEFUL for all of you 

Thank you Jesus!
