I considered myself a “good girl”. Someone who was checking off all the boxes, making my family proud, doing everything I was SUPPOSED to do to please God and everyone around me. So when my first semester of grad school came around and I visited home for Thanksgiving and my gynecologist mentioned the words “fibroids” and “surgery” soooo many emotions came.
This Valentine’s Day I only want one thing for you. I want you to be HAPPY!
Have you ever heard of resistance training? Resistance training is used to build muscle which inherently gives strength. We can resistance train in the spirit. To be honest, many of us are used to resisting, but we are not resisting the right person. You and I resist God.
Even after giving my life to Jesus, I would try to use platonic and romantic relationships to fill a void that only God could fill.
I don’t know about you guys but 2019 really took me through the ringer. I was challenged in so many unexpected ways. By the end of the year, I literally looked like Alfre Woodard in Holiday Heart (look it up lol).
He’s everything I hoped for and more. Funny thing is…I’ve known him for years. He was right in front of me all of this time and I’m just now realizing itI’ve always dreamed of meeting my husband. Imagining what he may look like, his personality (secretly praying that he’s funny and kind lol).
I absolutely love this time of year! The weather is cold and comfort food is what we need.
Many of us want to elevate to the next level knowing we have not done what is required of us.
Sadness can be debilitating. Many of you know this, because you have lost a lot. Some have lost loved ones, friendships, relationships, time, and health. Others have lost hope because there’s so many bad things happening in the world.
In this season, I’m learning that God is always good. He’s good when I’m hurt. He’s good when things change. He’s good when I’m in lack and He’s good when I have plenty. He’s good when life knocks the wind out of me. Even with all of this, God is still good. So daily, I will choose to meditate on His goodness.
How am I so convinced? Every. Single. Day. He extends GRACE.
