“Show Up As Yourself”

Hello lovelies and gents!

Show Up As Yourself!

I was recently leading a class and while making preparations during the class I overheard a conversation that some of the students were having. While some of the things being stated where not necessarily good hearing it pricked me about how I should respond. Now, while I was in preparation God was leading me into what to do he speaking me and giving me the idea to address the concerns. What I realized was that there could have been a filtered and compromised response as the leader of the room but because my ears, emotions, and feelings were submitted to God he was leading me as the leader by speaking to me and giving me the way to address the issue.

As the leader of I had responded any other way I could have compromised what was needed. What was needed was demonstration, example, a created space for vulnerability and can I tell you that because I responded uncompromised that as the leader I was able to guide the space and atmosphere of the room which changed everything and caused a greater outcome then what would have been if I had responded the way that I wanted to. If I tried to fix it, if I had tried to capture the attention to be deemed as likable, or if I had responded in away to bring correction on my own. If had choose to show up any other way then myself by yielding to the Spirt in the moment and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide me the results would have been different.

Show up As Yourself. The self where God is leading you. The self where God is with you. The self where God Spirit is moving upon you. The self where God is moving in every room. The self where you do not have to do life on your own because of Holy Spirit’s leading and guidance. The self where God shows up through you and because of that it changes the whole scenery and atmosphere. The self where God gives you what to speak and say. The self unfiltered, unfabricated, unashamed, unmasked, the self where you are you and as a leader you allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through you.

Show up as yourself. Show up as the God created individual that you are and when you do so no matter the position the results will yield better outcomes!

What is Written on Your Heart?

Hello lovelies and gents! I hope that you have had an amazing summer. You are amazing!

As I was walking the other day God asked me this question and when he asked me I begin to really ponder on the thoughts and intents of what was being asked. The question that was asked to me was “What is written on the tablet of your heart?

After hearing that question I begin to really think about what was written on my heart. I begin to think about if it was positives like the word of God or negatives like life worries, anxieties, and fear. As I examined what was really written upon my heart I realized that freedom in Christ was there. I begin to realized that old things no longer had control, I realized that self control was written there and that worry and defeat were not my portion.

As I thought about my heart and the heart in general I realized that there can be a lot written upon the heart. Both positives and negatives and when something is written on the heart it has an imprint or impact. Whatever is written on a persons hurt whether past experiences, like hurt, and trauma, or positives like gratefulness and thanksgiving are what flows through a person’s spirit and mind.

Sometimes there can be so much written on the heart that man might become oblivious to root causes. Root causes are what really need to be examined in order to see what is within the heart. Root causes are what really need to be examined when thinking about the hearts posture and relationship with Christ. Whatever is written upon man’s heart contributes to their posture. It contributes to their function and operation and contributes to what they are willing to do or not.

Whatever is written upon man’s heart contributes to how they show up daily. God wants us to imprint his word on our hearts so that we can be the demonstrations in the earth. He wants us to know that we are his and to also flow like we are his. So, I will ask you one question. What is written on the tablet of your heart?

You have the capacity to check your heart posture. You have the capacity to live like you belong to the word and that the word resides in you. What is written on your heart is essential.

Step out in faith!

Hello lovelies and gents! I hope your summer is off to a great start despite the heat. It is mid year so that means the first half of finished. If you have been or currently hesitate about stepping out, feeling bg drowsyc tired or exhausted I want to encourage you to read this blog post in its entirety.

So, let’s dive in!

A few weeks ago we decided to take a day trip to the beach for a few hours. Something long overdue , refreshing and well needed. During that visit we all enjoyed the splash in the breeze of the air, splash of the water, and the waves hitting our bodies and faces.

At first the boys went further than I did. They launched out in joy, excitement, and surety. Without fear a or care they ran into the waters. For a long time I originally thought going out into the beach was deep areas. Watching their bravery made me wonder what it was really like out there. It made me wonder what was really on ground and if it was as deep as I thought it was.

As I watched them play, tackle one another, and enjoyed the water I started to take further walks out, not only did I take further walks out I touched the water, allowed the waves to hit my body and went further than I had ever gone into the water before.

As I stood in the water I was reminded that even little steps will take you places that you had never gone before. I was reminded that trusting the process will unfold what eventually looks scary at first. I was also reminded that what I was once scared to step out and do was not what I thought and was actually much simpler rather much shallow then I thought.

I had been to the beach several times before but that day I been deeper out into the beach waters. I was always afraid because I can’t swim. This particular day courage rose in me as I watched my son’s play, as I realized it was not what it seemed, and as I took small steps forward to do what I had never done before.

I believe I understand more why we shouldn’t despise small beginnings. I realized that even taking small steps requires faith and trusting the process will only lead you to much bigger steps orchestrated and ordained by God. As I write this I am reminded that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.

As I write this I want to encourage you continue to take steps out into the deep and to be open to the endless possibilities of what is new. Be open to discover what you have never before or what you might have been afraid to uncover!

Take the leaps, continue to take the leaps, and walk into what maybe intimidating. If you never go forward how will you find out what’s next and what’s ahead.

Until next time, continue to go forward and trust that what is being uncovered is better and greater than what has been before.

A Sister Building A Sister: Don’t Chase

Sister Building A Sister!

Women of worth “DON’T CHASE” your worth is precious and you are valuable. Chasing only causes exhaustion to you, your vision, your view, and it crushes your spirit, hope, and truth.

Even if you chased after what you hoped for… it does not guarantee that once you caught up to what you are hoping that you will get it. Chasing is a sign of lack in some area and can mean that something is not together and ultimately it may not be worth putting together because truth is you do not have to chase what is rightfully yours, truth is you do not have to chase right alignment.

Don’t be discouraged while waiting is worth it. Your worth is not wrapped in the chase its wrapped in the one who first came after you “Christ”! You are already chosen, already worth it, be found it this first because whats meant for you will come!

Don’t Chase!

A Sister Building A Sister: Emotional Maturity!

With Love

Listen sis!

Choosing you does not mean that you are selfish it means that you are responsibly aware of what you need in a healthy way and able to communicate that properly. Choosing you is realizing your spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical ability by looking at where you are and where you need to be. Choosing you is also understanding that you are responsible for your own emotional maturity.

Choosing you is recognizing that you are not responsible for someone else’s baggage because you are not a trash bin. You are not responsible for someone else’s emotional response or emotional immaturity because that only dims you. You were not made to sink in and swim behind someone or something because of insecurities and inability. You are a valuable treasure made with many abilities not to fix brokenness in something that does not want or is afraid to be fixed.

Choosing you is taking charge of what’s in your control and taking charge is focusing first on your spiritual well-being and then the rest. What you feed your spirit is what will flow from the rest. So, choose to feed yourself life.

To attrack what you are meant to attrack (good, not evil, relationships, friendships, marriage, blessings in life) you must first deal with the unhealthy, learn to control your emotions, and learn to recognize your spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical ownership!

Stand in The Transition!

Hello lovelies and gents! I hope that you are all doing well. I have a blog post today…. So, let’s dive in!

Are you in a transition? Maybe you have already or in the process of being renewed from what you once knew? How about the fact that you have grown so much but still trying to actually embrace it all mentally, spiritually, and emotionally!

If you are able to answer any of these questions I want to first tell you I am so proud of you. I am proud of him far you have come, the amount of effort you have put into it, you faith, resilience and where did are today. Secondly, I want to tell you that you do not have to do it alone. You do not have to embrace the process alone, embrace the new season alone, neither do you have to embrace the change alone that has already taken place.

God is with you, was with you and will forever be with you. That is declared in his word!

Transition can be hard, I mean think about it. For so long things were one way and then before the transition you might have experienced a storm, maybe to you a tsunami and the resulta was change. Maybe it wasn’t something such as a storm and woke up one day and realized that you had to do somethinh different. No matter what the case is it required transition.

Transition can he defined as a change or shift from one state to the next. Something that has never been before, or better yet something new. Transitions for some takes time and for others not as much time.

Wherever you are in your transition process I want to encourage you to “stand” in it. Rise up in strength, rise up in facts, in truth, and in the backing of God. He’s with you, you have come so far, it’s not false advertisement it is your present reality. Stand in the transition God is with you. A

reas where you need answers God is providing. Areas where its tough and small battles arise God has given you victory. Remain upright and in your position. You are already there.

Stand in the transition!
