Freedom Comes In Obedience

I just wanted to share something that happened today. I did something God told me to do a long time ago and I brushed it off until today.
After I obeyed and did what God told me to do a long time ago... I just broke down and sobbed, deep moans and groans came up and I just let them go and the tears flooded my face and I just let them pour.
I honestly had no idea why or what I was crying for......then in a soft voice God said "Release my child Release it all, that which you have been holding onto for so long. Release the pain, regret, fear, doubt, release the shame, release the years you felt so alone, release my child for then you will be free to allow me to move through you without any hinderance. RELEASE so others will see me through you without having to look past your offense, and your walls. Release and allow me to love you"
Once He said that I crumbled, but once the tears stopped I had this peace sweet peace that I havent felt truly in so long and this heaviness was gone and it was as if I was seeing through different eyes if that makes any sense (lol). It was an answer to many prayers all at once that came to be all because I obeyed:)💟

Thank You God

I just want to say THANK YOU God for loving me in spite of my hard headiness and stubborn ways!
THANK YOU God for Never giving up on me even though at times I gave up on myself.
THANK YOU God for seeing Your love and your ways in me and allowing other to see in me what I yet to have the confidence to see in myself.
THANK YOU God for your Grace that covers me and says that I am Worthy and I am Enough.
THANK YOU God for your Mercy that paves the way out of the wilderness onto the Path of Redemption.
THANK YOU God for allowing me to be me, and allowing me to Hide away just for a season in your loving embrace.
THANK YOU God for believing in me and pushing me a little further along the way when I didnt have the strength to stand and carrying me until I did.
THANK YOU God for all the shut doors and unanswered prayers becasue I know that they were used to direct me from my own path in this life back to the path you created for me to walk.
THANK YOU God for being you and loving me!

You have to surrender to win the battle

You can not become stronger without admitting you are weak.
You can not be bold without first allowing God to teach you to be humble.
You can not succeed with out failing.
See life is about being the lesser, learning to sacrifice your all.. so God can teach you how to reach the multitude with a humbled heart and true wisdom that can only come from sweet surrender!
So to win the battle you must surrender, give up, give in..thats when your true freedom begins and in turn through you others will see Jesus💜

For Such A Time As This

Follow your heart! Allow God to speak to your heart all that He wishes to bestow upon you!
And if says He wants you to do something then you have to do it! Even if it makes no sense at all why He wants you to do something or return somewhere..you have to do it!
Even if it means facing your enemies head on..you do it with your head held high and you show love and grace!
You have been forgiven and loved so deeply and you should in turn show that love and grace!
Even if it is not returned that is ok! We dont show love and grace so it will be shown back! We show it because that is who we are! Who we were created to be!
God will never ask you to go somewhere or do something if He did not think you were ready and if there wasnt a plan behind it!
So if you have to do it crying the whole time or praying in your head the whole time that is ok!
Just know you are not alone! God is with you every step of the way!
Be Couregeous and Brave and Be the Amazing You that You Are!
You were raised up for such a time as this!!

I Trust In You

Dear God the mountain seems so high somedays and I am just camped out at the bottom. There are times I get half way up to get knocked halfway down.  Doors shut and doors open. But no mattwr what God I will not lose Faith. For you have brought me out of the depths of Hell and have been healing and releasing me a little more every year.
The doubt has lessened and the fear no longer has control. One day at a time is all I can do. One min at a time somedays.
Life can get rough but I am so thankful you are always near by.
So while Im at the foot of the mountain I will build an altar of Praise and know it is your will for me to be where I am in life and it is your will the season that is about to be.
In due time I will climb this mountain, like a deer with hinds feet I will make my way higher than I have yet to be. I just have to trust and surrender  to you and I have to get past me.
Amen

Mothers Day 2016

She has dried your tears and calmed your fears.
She has held your hand and steadied your stand.
She has mended your broken heart and allowed you to cry on her shoulder when you felt your world was falling apart.
She gets so tired and so worn out but you will never hear her complain because she says to complain there is no need,
Because she knows that all she does today  is preparing  the way for her children to succeed.
The love she has for you is uncondionally forever true,
and to ensure her childrens happiness and safety there is nothing she will not do.
She is an angel in disguise,
Protecting, guiding,
Full of knoweldge and so wise.
I pray one day she will realize she is my constant in this everchanging world.
I may be a grown woman but forever I will be her little girl.
Happy Mothers Day!

Silent Cry

This I wrote for Inspire Freedom ministry today and wanted to share here:

-Silent Cry-
I was a prostitute 12 years ago and I did sleep with many men for money. I would love to say that every time I was high and most times I was but there were times I was sober and my hunger for money to get drugs drowned out what was going on.
When I had time alone, I would cry full of shame and guilt and this would cause me to do more drugs to ease the pain.
I did not care about what would happen to me and with every John I lost a piece of my soul.
I longed for peace and longed for freedom. I had a few different pimps but  most of the time the drugs were my pimp.
I had a few angels from time to time who showed me kindness as I was walking the streets at night and offered me prayer but I refused in my anger which was result of the pain I felt inside. I knew though that they still prayed for me.
So no matter if the precious lady accepts your kindness or prayer they will always remeber the light of love in her darkness that you showed.
I dont remember all the Johns but I do remember those angels faces.
I am free today because of prayer of strangers and loved ones and ofcourse I am free because God never gave up on me even though I had given up on myself!
Love is always the answer Always!
