Great Weight Watchers Inspiration

This is a great quote!! It was on the weight watcher's board today. It can be applied to all areas of your life.

"Don't exchange what you want most for what you want at the moment!"

Declarations

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

It has been an early and busy Friday already.

I'm at the gym with my music on shuffle. As I'm inviting the presence of God in my workout Marvin Sapp's 'He Has His Hands on You' from his 'Here I Am' album began to play and it was exactly what I needed at this point in my life.

Ever declaration and determination of change for the better has been met with challenges. Dealing with a job, family, church work and working on growing spiritually, financially and educationally can become overwhelming and down right stressful. I was sharing with my bestie about how overwhelmed I was and she sent me this in a text yesterday and it really helped.

Psalm 61:2
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

I've been told that I'm "at that age" were hormonal changes will amplify stress and irritation. Well I bind that in the name of Jesus. Lol seriously though a lot of days the simplest words or phrases will bring me to tears. I am by no means a cry baby but lately I have begun to wonder.

This song has begun to comfort me because I had forgotten that God has His hands on me. He sees and He cares about every area of my life. He said he would never leave me nor forsake me. He said I could bear whatever He allows.

I know that this is a rough patch and some things I have to face and decisions I have to make will be difficult but as long as He has his hands on me I will come out all right.

“Romans 8:28 (King James Version)

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

So now I’m encouraged and stopped beating myself up for my shortcomings and just walking in faith that God is allowing me to live and learn and grow. I am by no means quitting or giving up. I will not be deterred from my goals and my destiny. I have dominion over every area of my life and God has given me the authority to declare and decree change in the world. I will stand on His Word!! That’s it!! And that’s all!!

Take a look at the lyrics and listen to the song and enjoy!!

Prayerfully it ministers to you as it did to me.

Smooches!!

Who Switched Numbers with Jesus

Written November 11, 2008 by Roscheeta Brundige

One night I was watching TV when the phone rang. It was one of my god-sisters. We greeted each other then she asked “Who switched numbers with Jesus?”

I asked, “What?”

She says, “Who switched numbers with Jesus?”

I said, “Ok.Say that one more time.”

She says, “Who sings ‘Falling in love with Jesus’?”

After I answered I relayed to her what I initially heard. We laughed for a while and I actually laughed for a few days and still chuckle when I think about it now.

I had so many jokes. I could’ve answered, “Well who answered when you called.” or “I didn’t know He changed His number.” “If He didn’t answer He probably didn’t want to talk to you,” etc.

But when I seriously thought about it, it’s sort of sad.

When we first accept Christ we are excited and full of zeal. We put Christ first in everything. Prayer isn’t a struggle. Obeying His voice isn’t a struggle. Taking all your issues and concerns to Him in prayer is automatic.

Then something happens. We shift Him from #1 to #2 from #2 to #3 so on and so forth.

Slowly but surely our life becomes more important than the Lord. Our job, our children, our spouse and even church work takes becomes a greater priority.

When problems arise we don’t even consider Him as our first and only resort or resource.

We call our friends, family and church members before we even consult God. We move from acknowledging Him in all we do to only coming to Him after we have tried to fix our problems ourselves and when things were good we didn’t consult him at all.

We forget about “Thou shall have no other god before me?’ “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might?”

“You can’t serve two masters you hate on and love t he other.”

Recently I’ve reprioritized my life and put Jesus back into #1 position.

How about you? Do you want to join me?

I promise it will be worth it!!

With Love prayers and blessings,

Roscheeta

Midnight – Brent Jones

Don’t wait til midnight

When there is no sunshine

You are a stranger until there is danger

You say that you love me and can’t live with out me

Then when do you call me only when you need me.

Check out "Her Best Hair"

The "Her Best Hair" blog is one of the best blogs ever. This is the work of my Curly Nikki sister and hair idol Tiashautee. We share a love of natural hair and Gospel music.

I really enjoy her concise and to the point videos and writing style. Her posts aren't full of filler. She isn't trying to mimic anyone's blog or writing style. She's just being herself and doing what she does best.

Check her out and show her some love.


Smooches!!

Have a great Friday!

Living so God Can Use Me

I had a talk with Jesus! I want to live so God can use me. Any time and any where.

I want to keep my relationship with God on point so that I can pray for others and hear God's voice  and obey. I don't want any blood on my hands. For example I was lead to call and pray with my sisterfriend one morninh. The same day she and her son were driving and something (not a bullet per the police) broke out her windows. Glass flying everywhere but she and baby Boy were fine. No cuts no injury!! What if I was preoccupied, what if I wasn't listening. I know it wasn't me but the power of God. Will God have still intervened? Would someone else had prayed a hedge of protection? I don't know but I do know I want to do my part. I will keep my line clear so when you need me I don't have anything blocking my ability to pray and reach God! I will not let my desire to be married deter me from my calling. I will not let feelings or emotions be the basis of my relationship decisions and be a distraction from doing a work for the Lord!! A lot of single people are distracted from the work of God just becuz we refuse to let people go that hinder becuz of it doesn't feel good.

Well I made a decision that didn't feel good. Yes I cried. I moped but I did it. God has sent comfort and a word to encourage and remind me that He is faithful and that what I desire in a husband He is able to do. So while I see others compromise and try to work it out with the counterfeits or while people judge me about being too picky or being hard on a brother. God will uphold me even if I have to stand alone. I refuse to give in. I refuse to give up and I refuse to be jaded. I refuse to be swayed.

At the end of the day as long as I please God is all that matters!!

God sent an Angel

Tuesday, May 17th 2011

OMG!! You all know how I say God has jokes. He sits on His throne saying "Now watch this!!", as He chuckles.

Well this one was funny but I'm so grateful for it!

So I'm walking to my car a lady says 'Hi. God bless you'. I say 'Thank u. God bless u as well'. She asked if I was affiliated with any church. I say yes. She asks the name. I say Eureka Bible Church. She says 'that's pretty what does it mean'. I reply 'It means, I have found the bible teaching church. Our motto is we are a church where fellowship is real and the Word of God is preached. She asked if I have children. I say, "No, I can't do that until I have a husband". She says that's right and remember to be picky. Be very picky. Its the second most important decision in your life. The 1st was accepting God in your life and that effects eternity your husband will affect your life and your children's lives.

That whole exchange made me laugh then I began to thank God. Now I'm in tears becuz the hard choices aren't always easy even though they are right. I'm crying becuz even though I know God cares and is concerned and is working things out for me he showed His hand thru a lil lady who obeyed His voice. Just to say 'Daddy's here to take care of you' it may hurt now but it'll pay off in the end!!'

I know it may not mean much to some but it means the world to me! Who wouldn't serve a God like that!! So I'm not compromising!! I also want to encourage others not to compromise either. I promise you if you do what's right even if it hurts now it'll pay off later. Sometimes we hold on to relationships becuz it hurts to let go but when you do I promise you God is faithful!!

Trust him its worth it!!
