The Choice Is Yours

Its up to you which road you decide to walk on in this life. You can walk on the road of salvation, which is harder and you will be tested and tried or you can walk on the road of this world which is easy going and full of empty promises and shattered dreams and in the end offers you nothing.
You can decide on life or death, land of the living or land of the dead.
You can decide internal, everlasting peace or you can decide on temporary  peace full of lifong consequences for your actions.
You can decide to believe a lie or hold on to truth  no matter the doubt you may have.
Its all up to you! Free will is a gift for you but dont use it as a death trap.
Only you can decide! No one can decide for you.
I can tell you from my years of deciding on the easy way out and the easy road this world offers..I was used and abused because that temporary peace and that fake happiness ended and so I was always searching to make it last or to feel it again.
Since I came home to God 12 years ago, yes it has been so hard letting go of my past but the love and the peace that comes when Jesus heals your wounds and He lavishes His peace and His Love on you is Nothing even close to the fake happiness and peace I felt in the world doing my own thing.
You are Loved regardless! God will never leave you or give up on you no matter how long it takes Hes got you covered! He is just waiting for you to choose Him! He chose you many years ago:) MP

I Am Yours

Dear Jesus,
I am Holding on so tightly! Listening Only to you my sweet Jesus! Allowing you alone to guide me in this transitional season I am in.
Letting go of my fear and embracing your promise that you will never leave me nor forsake me.
Direct my path out on this open ocean of decisions! May I always be in your will where you have orchestrated my life to be in every situation that comes to be!
I look to you through the confusion and the uncertainty, for you to shine your light of truth upon me and for your Love to release me from all the burdens I carry.
Your Truth sets your children free! I Am yours my beloved and it is in you I place my trust,my life, my family, my all  forever more!MP

Time Like These I Will Cherish Forever

"My four year old goes straight to bed and goes straight to sleep with no sidetracking or whinning at all!!"
- LOL!!, funny right:)

We started  to bed about 45 mins ago and we have potty twice! Became dying of thirst..reason for having to potty...and has discovered her day was so facinating she had to tell me every single detail..which I am almost positive she really did not go up in a rocket ship..and then time for prayer...her prayer tonight she prayed for anyone and everyone she has ever met which included the mailman she met face to face one time a long time ago....then I prayed...and she was out before my prayer was finished.
Now Im exhausted and yes that was an ordeal getting her to sleep..but was the most precious time of my day! And I wouldn't change a thing:)
Blessings come when we slow down and look around and we realize we have been so Blessed..we just got to busy to embrace the Blessings.

Hold Me Jesus

Hold me Jesus until the fear in me subsides,
Hold me Jesus until I am strong enough to face this world and not want to run away and hide.
Hold me Jesus for just a little while longer,
Hold me Jesus until I feel a little stronger.
Hold me Jesus until I am brave enough to fight!
Hold me Jesus until I know within that everything is going to be alright.
Hold me Jesus, Just let me be,
In your arms for forever, For in your arms I am free. MP

I Long To Be Free

I do not want to play this part anymore,
I only want to be with you Sweet Jesus forever  more.
I get so tired standing still,
I get so hopeless being unreal,
I need to be free,
I need to embrace you Father God, If only I can get past me.
I have to let go,
If I intend to spiritually grow.
I have to release,
If I want you to overtake me.
I am so hungry for truth!
Im starving for peace,
Oh Jesus, Sweet Jesus send the Holy Spirit to enulf me!
I long to run and not grow weary!
I long to be happy and not stressed!
I am needing the reassurance of a Father, the shoulder of a friend, and the guidance of my King.
In whom I can spread these wings.
Soaring high above,
Soaring on the winds of Love.
Leaning, trusting,
Abiding, confiding,
Time to be free,
Time to Believe in  me.
Unto you I commit my spirit,
Into your arms I am no longer afraid.
This is my Home here with you I long to stay,
Forever loved and forever surrounded by your Grace!MP

My Love Story

There is Hope!! There is a way out, redemption for addiction!!
I shot  up meth for years and done all
Other types of speed as well. I was prostituting at night and hustling during day. Still God never gave up on me! I gave up on myself! But God never did and He came running as soon as I bottomed out and in desperation cried out for Help..He was there! He came no matter the darkness that was around me, or the filth about me He came!
He saw His precious child in need of Love and Help and He came!
He told the enemy who had me wrapped in His arms "Let my Daughter Go!"
And the Devil trembled and dropped me and God caught me and wrapped me in His arms and spoke the sweetest words "It is Finished my precious One! I am here! Let's Go Home"
Jesus! Jesus is the answer!! MP

***Share this so we can Share the Redemptive Love of God with All***

Here is link to my whole testimony ( short book I wrote) for you to read.
I  pray you find through the words of my love story  that there is Always Hope!
God Never leaves us and He is just waiting for the Cry of Help so that he can lavish you with His Reddeming love that sets captives free!

True and Pure Beauty

The time we live in is so focused on outer beauty and the spirit is so  covered up with vanity that it never has a chance to grow.
The thing is the spirit is so real and is so in need of being revamped and focused on more than our outer beauty.
The spirit is what communicates one on one with God, with the Heavenlies,  and this communication becomes oneness and that is what is going to bring Heaven on Earth tbrough us to a world in much, desperate need of a Savior!
But even some reading this are thinking  "She is crazy" or "She is to Spiritual" and that's  what we tend to do to something we do not understand is mark it off as not true because we are afraid of what we do not know.
Again that's the world we live in, but can you imagine if we all allowed our spirits  to lead and not flesh?
There is something so truly and purely Beautiful when you look at a person and they have the most sweetest, loving spirit! That beauty never fades and that Beauty is True Beauty!MP

We Are

So many times we forget to remember who we are! And we allow the enemy to tell us who we are and that is a lie!
We are Warriors, Destined to be! Set apart and Brought forth out of the wilderness,
out of waiting, For Such a Time As This!

We are our Fathers Child!
We are Redeemed by the Loving Grace and unending love of Abba!
We are The Storm coming forth raging strong for souls in the darkness!
We Are the ones who will go into the depths of this world to reach out and
rescue from the enemy just one soul!

We are not afraid to face the enemy head on because we have dealt with the enemy in the wilderness
and we Know God is for us and He is with us no matter who or what comes our way!
We love, truly love, with all of our being our precious brothers and sisters and we do not judge
but we love what we see and can not see within this individual! we know where we were when God rescued us and so We know that without Love, pure Love, there is no other way to be the light in the darkness!

We fight on out knees! We pray prayers of tears and groaning from within!
We do not pray for ourselves but pray for others and stand in the Gap for the weak and embrace the strong!
We are trailblazer, bell ringers, Hope givers, darkness destroyers, sold out, Love dealers of Christ!

We are Warriors of the truest form who Love deep and Fight intensely!
We are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, we are united by blood and joined together by love.
We are the Army of Christ and there is no weapon that will prosper trying to come against us!
We fight with prayer and we win with Praise!
Love is our Banner and Freedom is our goal!
The love light of Christ engulfs us and we have multitude of saints who have gone on before surrounding us.
Forever we will be and Forever we will remain
Marching on, steady and strong, when one falls, ten more arise!
We are many but are led by One! The alpha, The omega, The bright and morning star, Our King, Our Fortress, Our Friend, Our Father, Father God, Holy Spirit, Sweet Jesus all in One!
We are, We will always Be,
Marching on and Standing Stong!
Warriors so True, Saints in the Making,
for our Sweet Jesus there is Nothing we will not do!

Man Made Religion

We are living in a man centered time in churches and no longer God centered! So many man made  rules in churches that are culture and preacher centered and not of God.
All about emtertaing with the lights,performances but thats all it is is a show because God is no where to be found.
So many are worried so much more about fashion and who is wearing what and who is driving fancy cars and not even seeing  the person who just came off the streets to find Jesus but he felt so out of place he turned and walked out the door! I have seen this happen! So so far from the love of Jesus!
So far from His heart cry!
People would rather be on the streets where atleast they are accepted then go to a church that is so cliquish and so out of reach with those suffering all around them.
Its heartbreaking to watch people you love that have beautiful hearts get lost in the lime light of their own fame. To see a place of such potential for Christ get turned into a corporation built on power and surrounded by false love.
Always remember you are meant to be free and not put back in chains by man made religion! And man made religion is overflowing everywhere today wrapped up in good deeds and plastered with the name of God but God is no where to be found in their  religion!MP

Things I Wish I Was Told

Im going to say this because i wish it was said to me years ago.
You need to give yourself a break and just be! You are not going to get things perfect and you are going to mess up! Life happens. The important thing is to just get back up when you stumble and carry on.
You are not meant to feel pressure like you have to walk this straight line as a Christian. You are going to have thoughts and desires come up. If you didnt you wouldnt be human. Just learning to abide in the strength of God and not act on them is the key.
You are not any less Christian than a person who has been walking with Lord many more years than you and you are not any less Christian than any leader or preacher. We all have different walks but in Gods eyes we are all the same and equal!
Your prayer is just as powerful as anyone elses! If you feel led to go and pray for someone do it! That is God telling you to..so dont let no man say that you can't!
God wants you  to be happy and be all that He created you to be!
Trust in Him and he will never lead you astray!

Living a life of abundance

Have you ever felt like your life is becoming full circle at last? Felt like for the first time in SO long you know you are right where God wants you to be? And the Peace of God just drowns you. Feeling Free completely Free and drowning in Peace and Love is the most Amazing Feeling;)
It all comes with letting go of what was, letting go of what never will be,and  cutting the soul ties that are unhealthy. Then you can fully embrace all that is right now in this moment!
Because when you can come to peace with the season God has you in that's when you come to peace with yourself and I can tell you personally that this is freedom!!! That  to me is  living a life of abundance. Freedom and Love!MP

Need For Love

I remembered something today from my past and that has been happening a lot lately especially when I drive by places here in town that stuff happened..like the streets I use to walk on...or the gas station this guy pushed me out at and left me...or the different hotels where some bad stuff happen...one memory really struck me..I was working at this spa and I was also in college and one of my classes was criminology and this detective was teaching it. 

I remember one day I left spa early to go to class and he was teaching and I remember so badly how I wanted to tell him what I was doing the spa and the drugs. 

I wanted him or someone to rescue me out of the life I was living and wanted someone to care enough to tell me that I was worth so much more than this and that they loved me for me and not what I could give or do. 

But Ofcourse I did not tell him. I never told anyone how desperate I was for love and how I just wanted help out of this spiral. 

Sometimes the people who are hurting the most are the ones who are quiet and isolated and they are just waiting praying for someone to love them enough to come to them. Because they are battling so intensely in their mind they will not come to you. 

Be that person who steps out of their comfort zone and go to someone who this post brings to your heart. Go to them and tell them they are not alone and

They are loved! You may be the saving force God uses to bring that person out of bondage and free them from the hold

Of the enemy on their life! MP
