Moving Forward

Moving Forward

31 days into the new year. It's come with it's portion of setbacks, misunderstandings, and quitting. Most of us had great intentions to eat better, go to the gym, and for me spending more time with Jesus. If I can be honest I have been fighting the battle of inadequacy and comparison real deep. I look at the people around me slimming down, buying houses, and living life like it's so golden. Doing all of that comparison I began to lose myself in the process. I forgot what mattered to me and I failed to realize that God was still protecting my seed. 

When it comes to our destiny it’s hard for us to realize that there is a seed coat covering our seed. So there’s this coat around this thing that is supposed to be reproduced in your life. There is this protection thats covering your heart, your dreams, and your identity. It has to be protected. So God is the protector of that.

God has qualified and is cultivating us for a specific time and season. We can’t continue to go through life with our heads held down, apologizing for still wanting to believe. We are not disqualified because of what we have experienced. It does not matter how big or little the skeletons in our closet are. We can’t cheer ourselves on and whip ourselves at the same time. True love for ourselves only arrives in our heart when we chose to drop the negative vocabulary we use to assault every hope and dream that would dare float to the top of our souls.

My life may not be this picturesque formula on how to do everything the right way, but it is one about the powerful transformation of misguided faith. It’s a tale of how I am growing daily and how sometimes it’s hard to trust God in dry seasons. Recently I had to make some decisions if I was going to move my life in the direction of peace, joy, and beautiful impossibilities it was going to require a certain level of faith. 
It was going mean I was going to have to get out of my way. It meant that I couldn’t quit on myself or the things that I want for myself. I had to ask myself “Cre who do you want to be?” I

Someone is reading this and wondering who they want t be as they transition into 2017. I am here as Big Sister Cre to tell you: You deserve to be happy. You deserve the real deal. You don’t have to live with a façade or pretend you’re okay. God can’t do anything with that anyway! If you really want to see the power of God working through you I suggest you stop rehearsing voices of disbelief and insecurity.

You are enough.
You are worthy.
You can do this.

Don’t allow your feelings to control your destiny. Keep wearing that coat that is protecting your seed. Your time is coming to be great. Just wait on it. Don’t look to the side and break your stride. Stay focused on Him. Let’s move forward to our destiny together. 

God,

The beginning of the year can be rough for most people. There are people struggling to believe and see the light that comes at the end of the tunnel. Let faith guide their steps. May they walk in obedience to what it looks like to protect their seed with you. God may the person reading this blog feel a certain level of comfort with you and their future. Let this blog and prayer show them that you still have a plan.

Signed,

Moving Forward With You

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...
