You Got This

-
What a week this one has been. I had finals and that stressed me out and I was just feeling overall defeated. I really couldn't convey to my friends about how I really was feeling because they were just as stressed as me. Sunday night I decided to really just stop. I stopped and pulled out my journal and my Bible and I began to dive into the word. I remember asking my roommate what our positive affirmation for the week was going to be and she said "eat more ice cream sandwiches" haha needless to say I stared at her. I decided on this "no matter what this week throws my way I am determined to be more than a conqueror" she loved this.

I wanted God to take away this feeling of stress that I had. God led me to Romans 8:28-39 and then I was like okay God I see you! Then Monday I was talking to my roommate and I asked her what her favorite scripture was and she said she loved all of Romans 8. I laughed out loud literally because that was the second time he dropped that in my spirit. Here is the kicker Wednesday I just so happened to be texting someone about something she had given me and I wanted to place it in my Bible and I asked her what her favorite scripture was and her reply was "Romans 8:28 :)" I was like wait really? I was like okay now I'm listening so Wednesday night I went to church and the speaker spoke on this passage and he completely wrecked me with his analogies and comparisons to real life things.

God works in "all things" for our good. This does not mean that everything that happens to us will be good. Evil is very much present in our world but God is able to turn every circumstance around for our good. God is not working to make us happy but to fulfill his purpose for our lives. God's ultimate goal is to make us like Christ (1 John 3:2). When we become more like Christ that's when we truly find ourselves, the people that we are created to be. I know as humans sometimes we feel like we are not good enough and God won't save us in the time of trouble, but that's not true God is always in our corner pushing us to greater heights though him.

Here is my message for you this week. You got this! Look I don't know your situation. Someone may be stressed about finances, another one of you may be hurting about a failed relationship I want to tell you that you got this. God has created us to be more than conquerors! He has a desire to tap into such a great plan for us. You want to know what hurts God? When we hurt. It's that simple and the enemy really comes in and attacks your mind and your heart when you are in a situation where you have lost something that you value. That is how satan reaches us when we are in our darkest hour, but get this God comes in, in the midst of that dark time and he shows you the light. I want each and every person reading this right now to know that you are more than a conqueror and that God has not forgotten about you.

I don't know about you but I needed this. For God to continue to drop this in my spirit all week is crazy to me. So here is what you need to do...share this with someone. Someone in your circle is struggling and needs to hear you tell them "you got this" don't be afraid you have the power to give someone life through your words and your actions. Victory is over you so receive it. I believe in you...I know you all got this!

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...
