Every Promise

"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own"Matthew 6:33-34

You know what I am learning? That people worry about the craziest things! People worry about anything from finding their lost car at the grocery store to how their bills are going to get paid. While I know that everyone does not have the same faith in God that I do I sort of wished that they did. God speaks very clearly about worry more than once in the Bible yet people still stress out about things that they should turn over to God. 

There have been many times in my life where I have not trusted God nor have I sought him like I should have. Four years ago today I remember sitting in my mothers room senior year of high school with her asking me what I wanted to do about college. I had sent out video after video of my golf swing and it was looking like I was going to be stuck at home until my cell phone started to ring and it was all history from there. Here I was worried about tomorrow when God was already working on my behalf all he asked me to do was something simple and that was seek him. 

I love this passage from Matthew 6:33 seek in this reference means to turn to God first for help, filling your thoughts with his desires, and serve and obey HIM in everything. Stop and ask yourself what  is important to you. Is it a relationship? Is it your family? Is it your job? Any of these things can easily take first place but if you actually choose to give God first place in every area of your life things will start to turn around. 

Now in Matthew 6:34 Jesus tells us not to worry about planning for tomorrow but let tomorrow worry about itself...how many of us plan for tomorrow without SEEKING God first? (Raises hand) I know I'm guilty of it. What if we planned the way that God intended for us to plan? Careful planning is thinking ahead about goals, and trusting God's guidance. Check this if you plan well you alleviate so much stress and worry. People who worry always let that interfere with Gods plan for their life and their relationship with them. Do not let issues of today affect your relationship with God. 

Okay so here's the deal I do not know your life right now. Someone may be worried about their life and the direction that it is heading. Someone maybe struggling to move on from a failed relationship (that includes friendships). You may just be worried in general. I want you to know that its going to be alright. All you have to do is hold on and believe that God will give you everything in due season. There is nothing to hard for him and nothing should shut down your faith in him. Trust me! I believe that a breakthrough is in progress for you don't let go! 

I love you all! 
God led and God fed,

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...
