30 Days Of Thankful

Here are the final post for the 30 days of thankful! I hope that these post have been a blessing to you just as they have been to me!! Thankful for what money can't buy!Scripture Ecclesiastes 5:19

For without God, we are nothing! Through it all let us continue to give praise and honor to God. For where would we be if it wasn't for him. Let us thank him for all that he has done and thank him in advance for what is to come. For when we are faithless, he is faithful! No matter what circumstances come our way he is the same God and his love for us endures forever!!

We Are Meant To Suffer

Greetings and Blessings!!!

Happy Sunday Everyone!! It is the last day of the month of November and we will be in the last month of the year come tomorrow!! The time is surely flying by so quickly. I pray that this month has been good to you and that no matter what did or didn't happen be thankful that you made it through another month. I was reading my devotion scripture this morning and then I went to read the book of 1 Peter. In this book, Peter writes this letter to the people suffering for their faith, reminding them of how much Jesus suffered. In this book, he inspires them with hope for the future and shows them how to grow in their faith. In reading what was wrote, I gained a new found image in what it means to be a Christian and follower of Christ. Yes, I knew that I would have to suffer and go through things in this life and that I wasn't exempt from anything. But reading this revealed to me that we are meant to go through hardships, painful circumstances within our lives. Just as Jesus suffered we are meant to suffer to. But in our suffering, we are meant to glorify HIS name! It is what we do in this suffering, will we scum to the pressures of what we are going through or will we fight through it and stand on and in his WORD?

This life is not meant to be an easy one and our walks, this journey that we all are on is not meant to be a walk in the park. We are supposed to SUBMIT ourselves to CHRIST and cling to him before clinging to things of this world. I feel that we get so caught up in running to other people when we are in trouble or going through something (and yes I am guilty of this too) instead of running to God first. God knows what we are going through and he wants to hear from us, his children. He knows the feelings that we have regarding our situations, the tears that we have shed, he knows us better than we know ourselves. I have learned that when one is going through something that one is getting and being prepared for what is coming next. Or that you will continue to face the same thing over and over until you learned the LESSON!

God doesn't want to see us in the same place forever but he also wants us to learn how to be content with where we are and what we have. I am THANKFUL for my SUFFERINGS because I am being molded and shaped into the woman that God knows I can be. I am THANKFUL for what this past year and a half has taught me about myself and other people. I am THANKFUL for the shedding of my OLD SELF and embracing my NEW SELF within CHRIST. I am this imperfect person and the daughter of the most high and he loves me for who I am. He wants better for me and in order to achieve better I have to suffer for awhile.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!! I pray that you all have a wonderful and blessed day. I pray that you all take the time to cherish those memories and capture the beautiful moments of spending time with those that are close you to. We all have a lot to be thankful and grateful for. We all have come from a mighty long way and it is by the grace and mercy of God that we continue on this journey to fulfill our life purpose. This walk is no cake walk but the reward is so worth it! Take a moment to enjoy the simple things in this life. Let's stop taking simplest things and people for granted and let's start cherishing them. Things are to be USED not PEOPLE!! I pray that you all continue to strive for the goals that you all want to set out and achieve. We have one more month to go in this year and yes there is still time for you to accomplish whatever goal that you want to attain. Let's start thinking positive things for this upcoming New Year! Whatever has happened in this year can't go with you in the new year! Take the lessons and grow with every challenge that you have faced within this year. I have learned so much not only about people but about myself within this year. This year has been up and down but I am thankful for the growth the I am seeing within myself. I am grateful and so thankful that I am where I am on this day. I may not be where I want to be yet but I know I am striving to get there. I feel that my season is changing and that a blessing is on the way! No matter what the enemy is trying to do he can't stop God's plan for me or God's plan for you! Keep pushing. keep fighting, keep praying, keep trusting, keep believing, keep the faith!!! Set your mind and thoughts on things above and keep your focus on Christ and all things will come together!!! I pray you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

I know we all struggle with forgiveness and forgiving those who hurt us or done us wrong. We also struggle with forgiving ourselves as well. But thank God for forgiveness! Because he forgives us, we can give and receive it freely. Give it to God so that you can be set free from the bondage of un-forgiveness. Scripture Psalm 103:12

There is beauty in everything

So this is a picture that I took this morning as I was heading out for the day. It was so beautiful and amazing to see this. It made me so appreciative of the simple things in life. Yes, there will be times were it is hard and you want to give up but it is important to remember why you started. This walk is not easy and there will be distractions that will come from everywhere to through you off track. Keep God first, pray throughout the day and remember why you started. There is a purpose for your pain nothing that you have gone through has been in vain. Yesterday, didn't end so well with me but I can't let what other people say or do shift my focus. Don't let what others think or say get to you look to God not them. Hope you all have a good rest of the week.

Happy Sunday Everyone!!! Thank God for this new day filled with new promises and new mercies! Thank God for letting us see another day for another chance and opportunity. I hope you all are doing well and this is the start of a new week! I am doing Saved in the City thirty day thankfulness challenge. Saved in the city is a great Christian-based organization for all women who are wanting to develop a closer and deeper relationship with God. So check out Saved in the city on Facebook, IG, etc. So with this challenge they will post something to be thankful for along with a scripture. The reason for this challenge is to set some alone and quiet time with God to reflect and show our thankfulness for that particular thing each day. I wanted to share with you all this because we don't have to wait until the Holidays come and tell God the reasons why we are thankful. We should be telling him and thanking him each and every day. So I will be posting their post everyday on my blog and since they started yesterday, I will post the first one below. I hope you all join in on this challenge!

Thankful for the blessings of God. Scripture reading Psalm 23:1-3

Welcome November

Greetings and Blessings!!

Thank God for allowing us to see another day. Another day that is filled with new promises and new mercies! Thank God for blessing us to enter into a new month. We are in the month of November already! Time is going by so quickly and the beginning of the New Year will be upon us before we know it. The seasons are changing as we are coming into Fall weather and this is the month of the Thanksgiving Holiday. We have so much to be thankful for and it is not only during the Holidays. Everyday that we open our eyes and take a breath God blessed us with another chance and another opportunity. There are people who didn't get to make it to see this day and this new month. Let's not take anything for granted because life is too short. I encourage you all to start and keep giving God the praise in the small simple things. Don't just give him praise when everything is going well give him praise in the midst of your troubles, give him praise when you feel overwhelmed and when you feel like giving up.

God has a plan and a purpose for each and everyone of us. We just have to make the choice to keep walking with him along this journey to fulfill our life promises. This road, this walk is not easy but it is worth it. It's time to get in with the new and out with the old. It's time to let go of people, places, or things, that don't add positive value to your life. If it is not in God's will it is time to let it go. Yes, it may be hard to let go of but how can God give you what he has in store for you if you are not willing to let what he is telling you to let go of. God only wants the best for us but we have to be willing to surrender everything to him. We must be willing to say,"Have your way in my life, Lord."

Don't let the trials and tribulations that come your way deter you from God. Keep him first in all that you do. For he is with you always, he will never leave you nor forsake you. I pray that you all have a blessed weekend and a prosperous month. Keep striving to become the woman that God knows you can be. Keep pushing, keep praying, never give up for your blessing is on the way.

Be Blessed
