Grateful ❤️!

I learned this the hard way.

There was a time I came face-to-face with spiritual warfare, evil spirits literally in my presence. I did the only safe thing I knew to do: I pleaded the blood of Jesus. But as I did, someone in the room laughed. Not just any laugh… it was mocking. Dark. Evil.

And deep down, I knew why I felt so powerless. I was in willful sin. I had stepped out of the covering of God’s will and felt the sting of it in that moment. I didn’t feel like I had the right to call on the name of Jesus, not because His power isn’t real, but because I had distanced myself from Him.

I was angry. Embarrassed. Exposed. Vulnerable.

But even in my foolishness… God still showed up.

Not because I deserved it. Not because I had it all together. But because He is merciful.

That moment sobered me. Because here’s the truth: God showing up in our mess is not guaranteed when we’re living outside His will. That’s a grace we should never take for granted.

It reminded me of Acts 19:15: “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?”
You can’t walk in authority if you’re not walking in alignment.

There is safety in staying in the will of God. Peace in obedience. Power in submission. When you’re aligned with the Holy Spirit, you don’t have to question your authority, you walk boldly in it.

Let this be your reminder: get back in alignment. Stay under His covering. Don’t let your vulnerability be the enemy’s access point.

Happy 6th Birthday to my sonshine!!! I definitely can’t believe that little baby I brought home from the hospital is 6!!! Every year I ask the same question but really where did time go?!?!

Day 1 of 365…

May the grace of God be with you all! May his love be made known in your life and may your hearts be filled with overwhelming gratitude!

One thing that I am committed to this year is increasing my prayer life. One way I can do this is by praying for others. So if you have anything that you want someone to pray for or in agreement with you please don’t hesitate to hit my inbox. It would be my pleasure ☺️!

I pray you you all have a blessed and New Year!

She was over the 📸 fast but yesterday baby girl turned 9 months.

I never miss a chance to hug, kiss, and just hold her in my arms because these moments are but a short time as a baby. She’s the sweetest, most intelligent, little songbird 🐥💕, with soooo much personality already!!

I’m grateful to God for another year 🙌🏽!! Me and my babies are just getting over Covid so I’m that much more grateful today!!

Thirty-seven was good to me with the birth of my baby girl. But I wouldn’t be truthful if I didn’t say it had its struggles as well. But everything I’ve learned in the past year has brought me to this moment of perfecting today.

I’m grateful for God’s grace, mercy, and long suffering!! I’m grateful for his truth and his plans for me. I’m grateful because I’m blessed beyond measure and sometimes I don’t understand how his love runs so deeply for me!

As I officially begin 38 I just pray that in all my ways I’ll acknowledge Him!! I pray that I truly instill, embrace, and embody God’s truth concerning me! I pray that I hold space for me and that I exude love, light, and grace.

🥳

When you just wanna evolve…

God gave you power over the enemy…

So don’t be afraid to speak your truth!!!

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. ~Luke 10:19

Mess to message!!!

Listen, one thing I ALWAYS have to remind myself is that God don’t make mistakes WE do! You’re here and still breathing so PURPOSE still lives in your soul! Every single day those eyes open you have the opportunity to live out your purpose! Yes even after you made mistakes.

You are worthy of every thing your name and purpose are tied to! So stop living like you’re a culmination of your past failures, hurts, disappointments, etc!

You are who God said you are and don’t let any human on this earth attach anything more or less to you! And remember “death and life are in the power of the tongue,” so watch what you say about yourself!

Now walk in your authority!!

My focus is being the person that God created me to be. So a few truths backed by bible: I’m healed, I’m the head not the tail, I’m chosen, God’s very own possession, I’m protected, I’m taken care of, I will prosper, my vision will manifest, I have hope and a future!

To set limits on me is to set limits on the God who created the heavens and the earth. And if I were you I’d be careful about doing that because God would have to disappoint you and show you better than I can tell you!!

This is the confidence we have in God!! Walk in it!!

Just wanted to encourage someone to stay the course! God got you and you got this 💪🏽!! Be encouraged and keep moving forward!!

The weapons may form but they won’t prosper!!
