Pieces

-
There have been a few times in this precious life of mine where I have been so guilty of not giving 100% especially in my relationship with God. These past few days I've been in a golf tournament and it always amazes me how God deals with me when I'm in a setting such as this one. Before I even started competing this week I received a heart wrecking text from a friend where she brought up this thought "Romans 12:1-2 you are probably familiar with-- Be transformed by the renewing of your mind!! Well sometimes I forget to continue asking God to transform my heart an renew my mind and thoughts. We need to be able to recognize our negative thoughts and patterns and realize that God is our partner and power over them!! We need to put a stop to those thoughts as soon as we realize that they are not from God. But we can't do this without filling our mind with something new and life- that is Gods Word! We must then repeat new positive thoughts to ourselves over and over- it takes time it doesn't happen over night but just like we tell ourselves those negative thoughts that are Satans lies that become our reality over and over we must also tell ourselves the positive thoughts over and over and over! and slowly but surely God will clear the darkness in our minds. And finally.. we should and can always be rejoicing in the work God has done in our lives!"


That is so deep and rich!! How many of us are giving God pieces of us when he deserves so much more? *raises hand* but when we have a desire to be transformed by him in whole body mind and soul then pieces won't suffice. We have to get out of this mindset that if we don't identify with what we are feeling then God will just accept these scraps that we are giving him... Get out of denial and really earnestly talk to God. Start speaking from a heartfelt place and the rest will fall into place... 

On my ride home today  I was feeling sorry for myself and I asked my friend something and her response was "You need to desire God like you would desire anything else..." Wow let me tell you I thought about David and how he just had this crazy desire for God and God's heart. Yeah David messe up and fell short but you want to know what was amazing about his walk? He turned to God for everything no matter what... No matter how hard life was for him he continued to lean and depend on who God was in his life. 

So my challenge to you as you finish reading this blog push yourself to give God more than just these pieces of your heart. Give him everything and trust him to put it all back together it's such an amazing place to be with him. 
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...
