Good afternoon friends!! 

It’s Friday yahoo!! I was feeling relaxed and ready to rest tonight but the boys are having a sleep over! Yikes!! Pray for me!! 

Last night as I was getting ready for bed my heart was heavy as I began to pray. There are so many things that I need God to do and I want to see him move…now. I immediately felt this check in my spirit that said “I have and I am, the greatest moves I’ve done for you Em have been in you, remember?” well that certainly changed my prayer. 

How many times do we look to touch our blessing and miss the wonder of the blessings God has done in us; the ones that can’t be tangibly held? A lot of times we can overlook our greatest victories because we can’t hold or touch them. When I look back over the past four years I see the miracles of a transformed mind and a healed heart. Outside situations may not have changed much but I can recall a time when I cried out to be delivered from my wounded heart and messed up mind set. God has done just that!! How could I have missed that?! Easily. When we think of blessings we see a great job, a house, cars, a closet full of clothes, and yearly vacations, to name a few. These are great blessings but they are not the only ones. A renewed mind and healed heart are blessings too. 

I don’t know what God has done in you or what he has delivered you from but I urge you to remember. God has done great things for us and we need to acknowledge them. I know you may be discouraged as to what you haven’t seen changed yet but God is working on those things too! He is concerned about every area of our lives. Don’t lose heart when you see all that needs to be done instead look at what has already been done. The Lord promises to make every crooked place straight. Trust today my friends that God IS moving!!  

Have a great Friday!! 💞 

Detour to Destiny

Ever since I was a child I wanted to be a child psychologist. I wanted to sit next to a couch and listen to their troubles. I wanted to contribute to their healing. As time went on I started school and eventually had children and never finished. The desire to become a psychologist diminished and I no longer wanted to do it. Now what?! I was without passion or purpose. I loved being a mom and a wife but I knew there was more for me to do. 

One day I was asked to join a bible study at my church. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to join because it was for the older women. I felt like I didn’t belong but I went out of obligation to myself to be involved. Best decision ever!!! It was there that I was given the opportunity to lead prayer and teach a few lessons. It was there that I discovered my passion, my purpose…encourager and teacher. I found my mentor and dearest advocate. She saw me. She loved me. She pushed me. These older women were the perfect environment. It was their wisdom that encouraged me. I wanted to be like them. Mature and full of wisdom. They were unafraid and honest with me. It’s been a learning curve even though it was natural for me there was much to be done to ready me for my future. 

Since then the Lord has had me on a journey to perfect that which he started in me. I wanted to be a psychologist so that I could help heal those hurting including me. I figured helping them would help me. I still want to help people heal but now I’m taking them to the Healer…Jesus. The only way I could ever do that was to experience healing in myself first. You can’t lead people to a place where you’ve never been. Using my life, my story, and my pain has become my favorite thing to do. Sometimes we take a detour in life and it leads right where we were supposed to be all along. It was destined. Designed. Purposed! I pray the road you’re on leads you exactly where you need to be even if it’s the road you didn’t intend to take. I encourage you to stay the course and trust there is a bigger plan for your good at the end. Jesus promises to never lead you where he won’t go. Grab his hand and go…your destiny is waiting!!
