A woman’s heart should be so hidden in Christ, that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.” Maya Angelou.
Yes, all of our hearts long to be hidden in someone who will love, protect and cherish us for who we are and what we desire to become. But more often than not we set our sites on hiding in a man to only end in broken hearts, consuming emptiness and wasted time. I have made this mistake more times than I can count. Yes, I have always had a relationship with God. I can quote scripture, I sing in the choir, I have been active in several different ministries, and I can even give my testimony on how He has changed my life.
But there is one thing I have never let go of… I have never let him have the driver seat on this marriage thing. If you know me you know I am a hopeless romantic, and being married with children has always been a top priority as long as I can remember. . I have tried so hard to do this relationship thing my way. And I have failed miserably.
My problem is instead of seeking God I was seeking a man. God is a jealous God (exodus 34:14) and he doesn’t want anything or anyone to come before him. And I have put a man before God in hopes to have a husband.
I have sinned against God in relationships in hopes to gain love from a man, by way of premarital sex and shacking up. But no more!
Today I choose to seek God. A man that has never failed me. He as never lied, cheated, abused, or made me feel less that I was. He has only given me unchanging love and support.
Lord,
I trust you father, you are the potter and I am the clay. Lord you know that I desire a husband, however I can honestly say today that I want to be closer to you more!
Lord, I need you to fill this empty heart of mine and mend the shattered pieces.
Father have your way with me. Make me into a woman that is pleasing to you. Lord I want to be married, but if that is not what is in your plan. I will accept it.
You have been so good to me. I have been blessed more than I could have ever imagined!
Lord I am making a new commitment to you. As a deer pants for streams of water that the way I want to long for you.
In Jesus name
Amen

Focus!!!
I am truly thankful for the adversity that I have had to face over the years. It has taught me focus, discipline, tolerance, perseverance and some other virtues I may have never known.
I find myself often listening to friends and loved ones about the things that they are dealing with in life and I often feel so bad for them because they are to often focused on the battle with no goal or plan insight. I am just as guilty as they are. :) It amazes my how the devil causes confusion.
It is really easy to lose focus of ones goal if we do not have a plan. Life is not easy. There will always be stumbling blocks, mountain and hills to climb, but one must keep clear view of their goals and divine purpose.
The best way to make sure that we make it through our battles is to focus on the out come, not the current situation. Think about President Obama, entering the race for president, He had everything going against him… but he had a plan!!!! He got a grass roots campaign together and worked his plan. He had a clear vision as to what he wanted to accomplish. Despite the racial slurs, death threats and elitist comment He focused on his goals!
Focus crystallizes and directs the powerful energy of your mind. Focus galvanizes the mental emotional and physical energy to such an exact degree that our efforts cannot miss the mark. When we focus on our goal instead of the battle we ensure our victory! We should never spend of our time worrying about “the enemy”. (Because they will always be up to something) If we focus our thoughts, take positive steps, we may stumble, but we will not fall. Focus is what made president Obama Victorious, Focus is what gives the elk grace, focus is what gives the gazelle speed! Focus is what will give you what ever you desire!
Remain focused and prayful in the midest of your battle and keep your eye on the prize!!!
Peace and blessings

More Than Conquerors
Hello my friend!
Today's word is one that I hold dear to my heart! It shows how awesome God's grace is.
The wonderful thing about our father is no matter what we have done he will always except us! I am so thankful that God isn't like man!
This is also a verse that is used often in the "once saved always saved" debate.
Romans 8: 38-39
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[m] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
peace and blessings!
Muah! :)

Too much is given much is required! Luke 12:48
Have you ever wonder why people hold you to a higher standard? Do you ever feel like some people can get away with murder and you can’t get away with telling a little white lie? The simple answer to this is you are a child of God and he has called to a higher standard. You are Magnificent and He wants what is best for you! There are just certain things that we can’t do. You see we see ourselves like everyone else, but we must remember that we are not like everyone else. We are Kings and Queens dwelling on this earth.
For example think if President Obama was on facebook posting how drunk he was at the platinum last night. We would be ashamed to say we voted for him as our president because we hold him to a higher standard. That is the same standard that we as children of God should hold ourselves and friends to. Unfortunately we don’t see ourselves as being on the same level as President Obama. We see ourselves as everyone else!
I know that I have been wrong so many times, but I continue to love and forgive.
I ask myself often why do I forgive people, but I guess it is the God in me.
I realize that I am a Christian and God has shown me grace and mercy and therefore I have to do the same. God doesn’t keep record of my wrongs so who am I to keep record of anyone else’s. God has blessed me and you. He gives us chance after chance so what right do we have to not give a second chance!
Peace and blessings!
