Lord as we go about our way, with all our plans, I pray you illuminate our paths. Clear the fog and bring clarity. As we walk by faith, we humble ourselves and admit we don’t see clearly at times. Plans seem sketchy. Questions linger. Our vision is cloudy. It’s blurry Lord but you are a lamp unto our feet and light to our path. We grab ahold of your hand as you lead us through the valley of shadows where nothing is as it seems. Protect us from stumbling. Thank you Lord that you are guiding us through this day, this situation, this season, safely! In Jesus name…Amen!! 

Blessings my dear friends!

Good morning friends!!

Every year my husband and I request that the kids make their Christmas list {open season lol}. I must say the kids don’t disappoint as their list can be quite extensive. This year was no different but I noticed that my teenager had a really hard time making a list {will wonders never cease}. You’d think I’d be happy…no list…no gifts. Right? I was curious to what was taking him so long so I asked him. He said that what he wanted he knew he wasn’t going to get so what was the point in making a list. Hmmm. Not the answer I was expecting. 

How many times have we refused to go to the Lord with a request simply because we didn’t think he would answer us? 

I was hurt because I asked him to ask and he didn’t trust my heart towards him. He didn’t see it that way. He saw the times that he asked and didn’t get what he asked for. Sound familiar? I am not insinuating that our request is like a Christmas list or that the Lord is Santa Claus. It’s the principle here of asking when told to ask. The Lord tells us to pray; to bring our request before him continually. Often times we stop asking because we haven’t received in a way we expected. Just like my son, we don’t trust the heart of God towards us. We see an unanswered prayer and our hearts get hardened and distant. We get discouraged and disappointment sets in and we no longer pray and seek God for our needs and desires. 

God asks us to ask and seek him and he knowing the plan for our life will say no at times or not now. This is NOT him not answering or not hearing you. This is his protection over you but do not stop asking!!! Don’t be discouraged over a no or not yet. Be encouraged that the Lord knows your end from your beginning. He sees your need and wants and has a plan to meet them all. In the meantime he’s working on your behalf in unexpected ways. Trust the Fathers heart towards you…you are after all his beloved child.

Good morning friends!! 

I’m already up and at it. Haircuts, clean up from sleepover {thanks for the prayers everyone, I’m alive}, and football team mom duties! It’s gonna be a good one! 

No matter what your day looks like let me encourage you to rest. Yes, I know some of y’all work but this is another kind of rest. This rest doesn’t worry. It’s not your worries that get things done but it is the hand of God that personally handles your life. It doesn’t scramble to make things happen. You’re not your own source! This rest makes you dwell in peace. You will just know that you know that God won’t fail you. I don’t know where you are today but let me speak this over you…Not my might nor by power but by my spirit says the Lord!! You’re safe! You’re covered! You’re protected! You’re provided for! You’re forgiven! You’re loved! You’re his child! You will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! You will live and not die to declare the works of the Lord. You will testify to the faithfulness of God! God will do all that he said and more just hold on dear friend! Today could be your day for breakthrough so walk in expectation!! 

Blessings!!

Good morning friends!! 

Don’t you hate it when you are confronted with yourself?! Ugh! This past week I felt a tug at my heart to pray for certain things that I have not prayed for in awhile. Oh, I pray everyday for all sorts of things but I realized the reason I haven’t prayed about certain things is simple…I didn’t want to be disappointed if it didn’t happen…again. 

I was so sad to come to grips with how I really felt. I love God, I trust him but how could I not trust him enough? The thought broke my heart. The Lord was drawing me in so he could shine his love in the dark places of fear, doubt, and whatever kept me silent before him. He sees my orphan heart and has gone to great lengths to prove his love for me. His perfect love wants to cast out all my fears, one by one, till all the monsters are gone. 

It’s ok to be honest before God, truth is he already knows. Go boldly before God and let him know how you feel. He waits to unload you from all your cares and anxieties.

  Lord I pray that you show us tenderly our areas of fear. Take this orphan heart of ours and swallow us up in your loving arms. Show us that you’re a good Papa who longs to do good towards his babies. Amen!!

Good morning friends!!

From the moment I woke up I had the thought that I needed to call someone specific to pray with me and then the word “allies” immediately came to mind {I am learning to not dismiss the little things or the little movies that play out in my mind. This is a new concept that has set me free from thinking I am crazy or random}. Leviticus 26:8 said that…Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 

There is power in unity and joining forces with our allies {ally: to join yourself with another person, group, etc., in order to get or give support} is what the Lord is calling us to do, today. He never gives us a strategy that will fail. We must pray from a standpoint of victory and who we align ourselves with matters. We need people who will fight with us in prayer and not let go until victory has been manifested. Go and unite and see strongholds broken, captives set free, the sick be healed, our families be whole, financial stability and abundance to overflow and for God to invade our lives with his presence!!!  

I pray today that we become aware of who is with us and for us; that our allies will be evident and that we have the courage to join with them. I pray a spirit of boldness to overtake us as we pray in unity with one another for where two or more are gathered we know that You are in our midst. We thank you for strategies that lead us into victory at every turn. Open our ears to hear your voice and our eyes to see what you see. Lord let us walk out in the natural what already is in the spirit. In Jesus name we pray AMEN!! 

Pep Talk!!

There are days when from the moment you get up the sun has smacked you, the coffee pot hates you, and your clothes have decided to go on strike and not fit! You haven’t even walked out the door and you’re already flustered and irritated. Can I get a witness?! The crazy moments of our lives tend to bring out the monster in all of us. It happens. We’re human, but we simply can’t live day to day grouchy and unhappy. We are in control of our thoughts, actions, and boundaries. Today, I had to stop, drop, and pray. I had to talk to the Lord and then myself. Yes, myself! I said, “Self, you are not going to allow others and circumstances to dictate who you are and how you act” “you are full of fruit…love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control!” {Galatians 5:22-23} I had to have a pep talk with good ole me. We can’t rely on “things” going well in order to be happy. Go to a quiet place and have a talk with yourself! You set the tone for the day! Be strong and fruity!! 

Yes, You Can!

What are you waiting for? Whose lies have you believed that has stopped you? Don’t you know that you were created for a unique purpose that only you can do? All your dreams are pointing you in the way to go. Take a step out. Believe that you can do it. Trust the hands of God are equipping you to do hard things, amazing things. Even now you’re being strengthened. You’ve been given the struggle to shape you not to kill you. Steady yourself. Grab ahold of Jesus hands and walk this day out with him. You’re safe. You’re precious. You’re beautiful!
