I made it...

Hello all,
It's me Creseida here for another weekly blog. I trust that this blog is finding you all very well and blessed. What a week this has been! I have been torn down since it started and I allowed it to be that way, I realized today that I could have turned it over to God at any given moment. I think as humans we like to sit in our mess. Now if that offends you I am so sorry but it is reality. I also say that we like to sit in our mess because we know that there is a positive alternative to the mess that we are sitting in but we do not want to face that reality. My mess this week was one I actually could have prevented I chose not to because in a sense I liked feeling sorry for myself and I wanted other people to feel sorry for me. God does not want us to sit in self pity and wallow he wants us to come to him for comfort but he is not going to force it on us either. When I reflect on my life and where God has brought me from versus where he is taking me I get excited just thinking about it. I am so glad that I am not the person that I use to be but isn't it crazy how old habits creep back in? Those feelings of loneliness and discontentment are easy to let consume our lives, but you know what I think you should do? Tell all of those negative feelings to shut up and pray to God and ask him to help you rid yourself of those feelings that are negative. I just read this quote that said something amazing, "Rock bottom is not a bad place. It's bad if you continue to ignore God, it's good if you allow him to rebuild your foundation with HIM first" So here is my challenge to every person reading this blog right now I want you to pray and ask God to rebuild you so that at the end of this journey you can say "I MADE IT". I want my readers to know that you are capable of making it with God's help. I love you all

Your sister in Christ,
Creseida G

Something BIG

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: (Philippians 2:3-5)  What have you done for someone else lately? Like really stop and look at the last few days of your life... What have you done for someone else? Okay if you have some something for someone else have you done it for the right reasons?  People really only purely live to make good impressions. Rarely in a society like today's does a person do something just because they want to be sweet. Paul writes asking the Philippians to love one another and be one in spirit and purpose... It's simple when we work together caring for one another we demonstrate Christ's example of putting others first it's a symbol of unity.  Think about Jesus... He was so humble. Willing so many times to give up his own rig...

Pressure

“You can’t skip experiences, the experiences will be will be what they will be…It’s just what God does”   It’s just what God does? If someone had told me a year ago that pain, pressure, persistence were a part of my journey I would have flat out laughed at them . You see I have always been the person that does not handle stress well (if you are close to me in life you call me dramatic daily). I overanalyze everything to the point where it makes me doubt myself and who God is.  However I have been meditating on this thought “What if pressure creates purpose?” Somebody just skimmed over this so I am going to repeat it  What if pressure created purpose? When God takes us through the journey, different ingredients create ultimate success. If you stay frustrated with the process while creating your masterpiece you begin to miss the need to be present. How Creseida? How am I missing it? Because homeboy and homegirl you have the chance to let your situation speak life into someo...

This too shall pass...

This too shall pass... “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9) So this last month has been a season where the enemy has really tried to take control of my life. I had to deal with a lot of emotions that were brand new to me. The hardest part during this time was trusting God to prevail. I had to really learn about GRACE and having a heart of FORGIVENESS . God is so awesome y'all because he spoke to me even in this trying time in my life not only through his word but through his people.   This text from Corinthians is so amazing because it reminds me how strong God is and how he doesn't care how weak we think we are because his power is always going to be on display. We have to place ourselves in a position to rely on God for our effectiveness rather than ourselves. When we admit that we are so weak that we can't do it on our own then it affirms God's strength.  So recently I was talking with a friend about life a...
