Speak Life

Hey Queens,

I know it has been a while since my last blog post and I truly apologize for that. I've gotten so busy with school, work, and of course taking care of my daughter and was focused on trying to build the youth ministry at my church, I neglected my blog. *sad face*

    First I want to say hello beautifuls, I pray you all had an AMAZING summer and if your in school now I pray you have a successful school year as well as those that work full time and stay at home mommies. Life can throw so many things at us that we tend to get discouraged BUT I'm here to remind you that GOD will not put more on us than we can bare. It may feel at times that we can't handle it all but remember the battle is NOT ours alone. God says to call on Him whenever we need Him and believe He will be there.
    Psalm 60:12 With God's help we will do mighty things.

   A few things happened over the summer that had me feeling a bit discouraged. I was confused, and frustrated about where I was headed, and the cause of that confusion was because I unintentionally stepped ahead of God. I got so busy with trying to start the youth ministry at my church that I lost sight of the ministry God so graciously had placed in front of me. So because of that confusion, I began to feel as if I wasn't worthy of God's promises, I began to doubt my abilities.

  I felt like I was letting God down, when really it was the enemy placing those feelings of guilt and shame in me. Although I had not spoken the words I was thinking it. You ever heard that saying "your thoughts become your actions"? Well that scared the mess out if me and I had to snap out of that thinking and pull it back quickly. I cries out to God late night and asked Him to empty me of me and fill me up with more of Him. I said Lord help me to think more highly of myself, help me to see what you see in me. I also asked Him to give me words, the right words to speak life into myself, to speak victory into my life. I began rebuking satan, telling it has no authority over my life, in my life, and that I only answer to GOD!

    The more I started praising Him, thanking Him, shedding tears the more I felt better. I read the word (bread of life) and asked for clarity, so I can have a better understanding of what I needed to do to be aligned with His word and plan for my life. The more I began speak positively about myself, about others, about my circumstances, and reading his words the I began to believe that there was and is a greater purpose God has for me. Nobody but God knew what I was going through, and while I was giving positive affirmations to family and friends, on my social networking sites I was speaking life into myself.

  "Ephesians 4:29 Do Not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths. But only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen"
  No matter what you are going through, how you may feel about a certain situation know that those are temporary, those negative thoughts and feelings can be changed by speaking life into yourself, speaking victory over your life and BELIEVING that you are worthy of God's love, God's promises, to be happy and filled with joy. There may be others watching you and you may not be aware of it, so even if you have.to each yourself to speak life, push yourself to encourage do it. Think highly of yourselves and ALWAYS be mindful of those watching you and listening to you.

"Ephesians 3:19 And to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measures of all the fullness of God."
                        God loves you and so do I!
                                Peace & Blessings

Tear Down, Why?

GOD is the architect and his words and the lessons we learn is our foundation. -DW
   So far in my life I have met only a handful of women that actually encouraged and empowered me to go for my dreams, step out on Faith and to keep going despite people that have tried to discourage me.

    I will be 24 years old next month May 5, 2013 and so far I have met more women that were selfish, discouraging and non empowering. I understand we all want to make something out of our lives, and Live a life with Purpose. A lot of women are focused on competing with each other, that instead of this being a beautiful journey they become miserable, envious, hateful, and try to put others down because they are not where they want to be. Most Women see the progression, success, of other women and they get upset because they want to be there. The progression can be mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually, and the bad feelings they have fester into jealousy. A lot of Women have to realize that everyone, I mean EVERYONE has a journey. It could have taken that person years to get where they are, went through so many trials, had periods of discouragement, but they still managed to make their dreams a reality. Everything is a process, nothing worth having, or worthy doesn't happen over night it has to be built the right way.

   All you can do is focus on your growth, GOD, your journey and enjoying it along the way. Instead of being envious, or jealous how about asking for help. Don't be afraid to ask GOD for some help, clarity, direction and how to get help from others. Sometimes you won't get help from others, GOD will show you how to help yourself. I actually experienced that myself, I was looking to GOD for the help of others because I didn't think I was capable of doing it on my own. One day I started playing around in adobe graphics designs program and I made my own T-shirt designs and also made a logo for Queens of Purpose. Yes I was super, stoked and of course I had to share what happen, GOD is so awesome. So Don't be afraid to ask GOD for help. In the bible it says ask and you shall receive, if you believe that your prayers will be answered you will receive it (Luke 11:9, Matthew 21:22) I can't say that it will happen on that day, the next day, week, or month but what I can tell you is that it will be answered.

   I can count on one hand how many Women that actually helped me as much as they could, giving advice to help me go for my dreams. It came a point where I had to stand on my own, work and keep Faith that GOD would show me what I needed to do. I prayed every night and day for help and I thought it would never come but that's when GOD would place someone in my life and really they were already there but GOD gave me clarity to see that. Many times I asked Women for help, not physical help but help point me in the right direction, for a little advice. You know what they did? Those women either ignored me, or instead of giving me a list of pros & cons they flat out tried to discourage me by giving new all the cons of pursuing my dreams.

  Then I started thinking if it was so bad, then why do they have their business, what made them keep going if pursuing it was such a bad thing. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks these women were afraid to help because they were scared of it stopping their business, so then they went into competition mode. A good friend of mine, she is a fashion blogger Tamisha Monet of www.theurbanclassboutique.com Blog said " by me helping, it doesn't make me feel I will lose sight of my business, or my goals. To many women think that by helping other women it's going to stop their business."

  In reality when you help others you help yourself unintentionally. You have just built a lasting relationship as a friend, and possibly in the future a business partner. We must Empower one another, Encourage each other, and inspire others to go after their dreams, the Purpose GOD has for them. We all have a Purpose and within our Purpose we should always Encourage others. Helping your sister won't stop your shine, it will just make it that much brighter.
 
   There is no where to go but up, so hold your head up and keep going Ladies.

Love your real self!

So I am reading my new book I just bought Titled The Power In Waiting by Carla Cannon! I have just completed chapter 5 which is about holding on to Gods Promises, and if God has blessed you with opportunities you have prayed for, DON'T TALK YOURSELF OUT OF IT. I did that a lot in the past, because I was afraid I would fail, I was afraid that I wasn't good enough.. I was afraid that I wasn't ready for those blessings. Over time God showed and told me that if He sends a blessing your way that YOU ARE READY, and even if you may mess up, or "fail" God says that is okay that is apart of the process!  Without a test, how could there be a testimony. 

Another thing I wanted to share with you all from Carla Cannon's book, she encourages women to love their natural self, their real seld under all the make up, fake hair, plastic surgery. Its nothing wrong with it but don't go over board with it. My testimony is similar to hers, growing up I have always been petite, I always wanted to have more curves, thicker thighs, bigger breast, and long straight hair. I always felt uncomfortable with myself for a long time. Just two years ago, after I had my daughter was when I was able to really love myself. I realized that God made us in the image of him, He took his mighty, powerful hands and created me with a purpose.

I was really able to love myself regardless of what the media portrayed to be beautiful! I WAS AND STILL am unique, original, one of a kind. I knew that I was WONDERFULLY made.. amen!! Last year I went natural, I cut off all my hair and started over again fresh. Its like when you decide to live for Christ the old you, the you that did what you wanted, the you that didnt care too much about whether you were sinning or not died and the new you, the cleansed you has risen. You have started fresh. One of the things I have learned is that as you grow in Christ your Journey will teach you so much about yourself that yoi never noticed, or made you confront what you tried so hard to keep hidden within yourself. Love yourself, real self FLAWS AND ALL. You are unique, you are original, you are one of a kind amd you have a purpose whether you know it or not.

I have a two year old daughter and as she gets older I want her to see how strong, confident, and beautiful her mother is... Most of all I want her to see what loving Christ and having a relationship with Him has done for mommy, and what He will do for her. I AM BEING THE DIFFERENCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Remember ladies love your REAL self, even if you still may wear fake hair, plastic surgery, wear make up you should learn to love your real selves. I know we all may be struggling with something,  but you want to be able to be comfortable in your skin, when a man falls in love with you, you should want him to fall in love with the real you not just what he see's on the outside but the inside as well. It wont just happen over night its a process but rest in God knowing He will bring you through, let your test be a testimony.

Peace & Blessings Queens!
