Masterpiece: Rescue

-
“Cause I think I am heading down the wrong road and I need to find my way back today…”

Dark. Lonely. Empty. How many of us identify with these emotions? How many of us have ran from these emotions? I can identify with the struggle and the redemption that comes from these feelings. The peace that God places you in because he has a desire to love you more than your current situation. Allow me to share…

I have struggled with my identity for as long as I could remember so much so that it created this deep depression because I always felt like I did not "measure up". I would say I was “saved” and then be living a completely different life behind closed doors. I was a cutter. Now you may be thinking “wait, what is she saying?” I was broken, empty, and hurting. I did not trust anyone with my pain. It was not until I was in college that I learned of the true calling God had placed on my life. I could in fact be whole if I asked him for it. 

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3


I started the process to allow God to heal my wounds. He wanted all of me so many times before but I allowed what I thought I did not deserve get in the way. I wanted what was missing in me. Sometimes we feel as if we don’t understand ourselves---what we want out of life, how we feel, what is wrong with us or how we should feel. But God’s understanding has no limit and thus he understands us fully. When we feel troubled we should seek him and not the craziness of this world. We really should strive to take our minds off of ourselves and press into that place of rest in HIM. The more we can learn about God and His ways the better we can understand ourselves.

I shared my story because I feel like there is healing in it. I did not share it for people to take pity. Truth is there is someone that is struggling with a season like this right now where they feel trapped. I want to tell you that the Father hears you and he is longing to have time with you. So consider this your SOS. I have tried literally every option to feel the void that was missing in me and nothing I mean NOTHING compares to this place in HIM. I love that he is the ONLY option for me now. My prayer you is this:
Father,
I know if anyone can save it is you. Broken and empty. Lord be the potter make us new. Rescue us and be our release, not the things of this crazy world.
Signed,
All New
Knowing that you can be rescued is all a part of becoming a Masterpiece in Him. It is accepting that yes you have messed up but it does not have to be the end for you. I love you all.


Also feel free to tell me how I can be praying for you. I would love that.

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...
