You ever wonder what's next? Ever wonder where your life is transitioning to after this season you are currently in ends? I know for me I find myself in the midst of wondering where my road is taking me. I'm learning that it's through those circumstances that God reveals to us the depths of our strength. There are times when God presents problems in our lives that force us to find answers in Him. 


Recently I've been challenged in what it means to abide in Christ. For me it means learning how to trust Him in the moments where things are not going according to plan. It's learning to remain patient, steadfast, and unwavering in your love.


Can I let you in on a secret though? 


Sometimes I don't wanna do it and the rebellion in me wins. I can't remain patient to save my life! I am an individual that wants what I want instantly because I feel like I work hard for it. I'm in a season where I'm learning that loving God does not require work. It requires trust and they are two separate lanes. 


I had faith that I could fool anyone into believing I was okay even when I was breaking down on the inside. I had faith in all of the wrong things, but it took me abandoning my faith in the tangible to see the supernatural take place in my life. I had to make some decisions if I was going to move my life in the direction of peace, joy, and beautiful impossibilities with Jesus. 


Right now I'm in my trust lane with the Lord. I pull over to the side of the road a lot and sulk but He reminds me of what the journey is supposed to look like in Him. I know that in Him I don't have to worry about striving for this level of perfection that does not exist. He's connecting me to all things that glorify Him when it comes to my life. 



God, 


People think they can play your roll but honestly nothing will ever compare to what riding with you looks like. You ways are perfect, consistent, and true.  Let us not be so consumed with trying to take over the journey and plan for our lives. Help us to know that we are best in our lane with you. 


Signed,


Staying in My Lane

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...

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...

Hello all, It's me Creseida here for another weekly blog. I trust that this blog is finding you all very well and blessed. What a week this has been! I have been torn down since it started and I allowed it to be that way, I realized today that I could have turned it over to God at any given moment. I think as humans we like to sit in our mess. Now if that offends you I am so sorry but it is reality. I also say that we like to sit in our mess because we know that there is a positive alternative to the mess that we are sitting in but we do not want to face that reality. My mess this week was one I actually could have prevented I chose not to because in a sense I liked feeling sorry for myself and I wanted other people to feel sorry for me. God does not want us to sit in self pity and wallow he wants us to come to him for comfort but he is not going to force it on us either. When I reflect on my life and where God has brought me from versus where he is taking me I get excited just t...
