Goodbye Now, Hello Future

-
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:11-13)

If you would have told me 5 years ago I would be here in this place preparing to graduate I would have laughed at you. Not because I knew I would get here but simply because I didn't believe it was possible. That's how God works though. He laughs at us when we believe and tell ourselves that we are capable of ordering our own steps. 


How do I sum up the best five years of my life? God is faithful. Everything that he has desired for me to complete while in college I feel like I have completed. Have I always walked in the calling that he has asked or required of me? No. But I'm thankful that he loved me enough to put me back on track. 

I love this passage from Jeremiah 29 especially verse 13 "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." The moment I chose to seek God and not man's plan for my life everything started to gain more clarity. I can't. We can't design His plan for us. We have to trust the place that He is bringing us to. Yes it's scary. Yes you will have let people go but it's such an amazing place to be in his presence. 

I am excited about the future. It sucks leaving what I've grown comfortable to these last few years but I know that I am going to honor God's plan and purpose for me. I am still going to love to inspire people with my actions because I've learned that goes a long way. I will continue to seek a God with all of my heart because I believe that's what he's requiring of me. 

So to my family: words honestly can't describe how much I have enjoyed your support these last few years. You have shown me everyday that I was capable of following all of my dreams. Because of you I have smiled and allowed myself to enjoy every part of this season. You all are amazing. I will always continue to chase the next thing because I know that you all are pushing me there. 

To my friends: seriously having y'all in my life these last 5 years has been amazing! You taught me about the evolution of CreCre haha. You taught me that confidence will take me much further than hiding from the calling that God has placed on my life. Y'all were my family when my immediate family could not be there physically. You showed me how to love and love selflessly so I will thank you forever for that. 

Finally to God: thank you for this life that you have given me. You showed me that living for you will cost me a lot but the right people will always see you in me. Thank you for this evolution of grace that I have experienced. Thank you for loving me when I couldn't love me. God you are faithful. As I tackle this next chapter in my life I'm going to trust you to hold my hand. I love you. 


Until next time I'm signing off
God led and God fed,

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...
