Be Content and Stop Worrying

Hey everyone,how are y’all doing today? Today on my way to work before I left home my tire was flat and my gas tank on Enough…. in life does anyone feel like they have a to put air in the tire or the gas tank is on enough well that’s how I feel and that why I have been so quiet this week and lately I just have felt so flat tired and gas tank on enough.

Sometimes when your transitioning in life from what you know to the unknown is so difficult like a new relationship me completely trusting God with everything is a new step for me because I know what its like when you trust a human and they disappoint you so they leave you with a brokenness and a distrusting heart, and yes God doesn’t leave or Fail and I know this all to we but when you have been broken as many times as I have its so hard to open up yourself and trust, now fear becomes the obstacle. I am so anxious about what God has planned for me and it paralyzes me severely but I must take heed to the word

Phillippians 4:11-13

¹¹ I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. ¹² I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. ¹³ I am able to do all things through Him^[b] who strengthens me.

Philippians 4:6 [Full Chapter]

Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Its hard to stop worrying but when we worry that’s where we lose our peace.

Women Awareness Month

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” — Eleanor Roosevelt

The month of march is Women’s History Month where we take a look at women in our history.So this month in honor of Women’s History Month I am going to look at some great women from the bible and connect how God did wonders for them, and you may ask how this pertain to my blog but here it is God was with Moses and then he promised to be Joshua ….

POINT: God did wonders in the past with Moses and then Miracles with a Future Generation Joshua the consistency in the point is GOD he doesn’t Change.

Today I choose to start with Rahab because I relate to her so much and no I am not a prostitute or a thot but I relate her because in the bible she was described as a Prostitute so that means everyone in Jericho knew who she was and they titled her as a prostitute but none of the would expect she would be apart of the linage of Jesus.

Point: When people write you off and don’t think anything more of you when they have labled you JESUS IS THE GAME CHANGER 

Jeremiah 1:5 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

⁵ I chose you before I formed you in the womb;
I set you apart before you were born.
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.

Thankful For Grace

Grace: The free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings.

Recently I had the Opportunity to read Sarah Jakes-Roberts Book Lost and Found Finding:Hope in the detours of life.The book was extremely interesting in the sense of no so much the situations that she endured but how there was an opportunity of Gods, Grace and how it was I guess IGNORED in a way that his was grace was there but to busy going through life to notice it, then in turn that made me reflect on my own life.

Reflection: God has always been there even when I didn’t deserve it,I am going to be extremely honest with you this morning GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO ME. What you read now on these blogs is a reflection of Grace, I have hurt people with actions and I have destroyed people with my mouth, I have lied and I have done things to hurt the people I Love or just people in general, and I haven’t always walked the straight and narrow of Gods word for I have turnt up with the best of them and even worst exchanged myself for the validation or approval of others but yet he didn’t deal with me as I Have deserved to be dealt with he has just extended Grace to Me.It make me get a bit emotional to see how kind he has been to me and how loving he has been that I have nothing but Gratitude and its nothing to be taken advantage just because its free but I just really need to say THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR GRACE.

Proverbs 1:9 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

⁹ for they’re will be a garland of grace on your head
and a gold chain around your neck.

Thank You For My Hiding Place

The name of Yahweh is a strong tower;
the righteous run to it and are protected.-Proverbs 18:10

I am so thankful that I have a protection a hiding place,some where I know I can run and be safe.Some times in life being good or bad we get overwhelmed or distressed but thank God for the hiding place and I rejoice greatly for it and please take comfort in it.

Thank You For The Exit

Recently I had a moment where I realized that the friendships and relationships that I held near to my heart and people I loved dearly were my excuse of Validation that I felt if I were able to Turn up with the right people I would be fine,and if I were loved by the right person that would mean I am so worthy of love. Let me put this out there I grew up in a 2 parent home,siblings,food always on the table, clothing just whatever we needed and wanted was available but sometimes you can grow up with the best of things and still be so insecure.Well today’s blog is about people not being here in this season of my life and me being thankful for that .

So Sister Madea once said in one of her stage Plays (You need to know who your seasonal people are)

Season:one of the four periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), beginning astronomically at an equinox or solstice, but geographically at different dates in different climates.

Okay so lets Clarify this for me this blog is not complain about them not stay but express gratitude for them leaving. Some people can be fine with you & use for a couple of season and some people can be there with you for Years and still don’t have a good intentions for you, but you have to learn that the validation you might think will come from people in your life or even my life isn’t needed,Our validation came when Jesus Died on that Cross for us.

For God So Loved the World.

Love + world(you & me)+Jesus DYING=LIFE(Validation)

He sent us Jesus to show us we have value, I know you wanted that person to be your friend forever or I know you wanted that woman for you men and Guys for us Ladies to be Here but have you ever imagine how your life would of really been if they did stay here, you need to Say THANK YOU FOR THE EXIT.

²⁸ We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose. ²⁹ For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. ³⁰ And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified; and those He justified, He also glorified. ROMANS 8:28-30

ITS ALL FOR YOUR GOOD MY GOOD OUR GOOD.

Thankful For My Scars

Good Morning Everyone I am sorry I have been so quiet and distant lately but this week with work,and church actives has been hectic but this week I had the opportunity to share with some of the young people at my church and the topic was Fearfully and wonderfully made and I had share something about myself on how when I don’t wear makeup and how I feel like my acne scars are so ugly and how I won’t talk to a guy over face time without my makeup on ,and I explained to them like other things this is one of the things I asked God to deal with me on and I wanted him (God) help me find the beauty in my scars and not only my physical scars but the ones I try to cover up by putting a facade of me being okay ,but for me being thankful for my scars and seeing them as testimony.

Testimony: The beauty about scars is that it shows me Tiffany that Wounds can be healed.

Psalm 139:14 [Full Chapter]

I will praise You because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and I know this very well.

For my physical Scars you can see and the ones you can’t see they are beautiful and I am thankful for all of them.

Thank God for trials

1 Peter 1:6-7Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

⁶ You rejoice in this,^[a] though now for a short time you have had to struggle in various trials ⁷ so that the genuineness of your faith—more valuable than gold, which perishes though refined by fire—may result in^[b] praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Good Morning y’all I am grateful for trials and testings because he is refining me into who wants me to be and for that I am thankful for because God doesn’t just start the work he will complete also.

Not Lacking in Love

Hey y’all its me Tiffany as I am focusing on being appreciative this month I need to be grateful for the LOVES God has deposited in my life.

I know that valentines day is coming up and everyone is getting caught up in the excitement of celebrating love me too,well I have heard from a wise man that valentines day should be everyday not only V-DAY. Sometimes people get caught up in the whole I have my man or my husband,yes been there done that but I am grateful for the love that he has sent me.

Family(ies) :I have a great family and the best mother in the world even though its not a perfect relationship all the time cause no relationship is but she is the best and my sibling and just everyone in my family and those family members who aren’t blood but they are family I claim them as family as much as the claim me so that’s why I say family(ies).

Friends:I have a great set of core friends I mean they are an awesome set of people who are diverse strong and fearless and I see it and it inspires me.

Church Family:The Bible says don’t forsake the gathering of the brethren: being connected to the people of God is so important and knowing them and seeing them existing and being apart of my life I am so grateful.

Potential maybe just maybe we will see the potential boaz: Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you: do not stir up or awaken love until the appropriate time.SONG OF SOLOMON 8:4 and that’s all I will say.

First Corinthians 12:4-8 “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

First Peter 4:8  “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.”

DEAR ME

Today my blog will be a letter I am writing to myself because I feel like sometimes we are so hard on ourselves and not appreciate ourselves.

Dear me(Tiffany),

You need to stop being so hard on yourself and You over think things too much and if you say that you trust Gods heart then breath!Nobody has it together and you don’t have to wear a mask to please yourself and others,being transparent is fine your scars are beautiful.you can take joy in knowing God because his Grace is sufficient you are not lacking anything because you read in his word everyday where it says that “he will supply all your needs”, but girl a little friendly advice stop giving out your number to everyone and not every guy deserves a chance or your time.Stay focused on your spiritual life because by you letting God stretch you and by you letting him develop you into he wants you be ,Its building character and its okay to go through this process because you asked for this change remember you asked not to be complacent in life. you remember that you prayed to God about this, so its okay and remember  Isaiah 31:5 he will take care of you.

Isaiah 31:5

⁵ Like hovering birds,

so the Lord of Hosts will protect Jerusalem—

by protecting it, He will rescue it,

by sparing it, He will deliver it.

VALUE

Hey Everyone I hope your Monday is as productive as mine,This month of February is a time and season where I am learning to be more appreciative of the blessings God has given to me.

Appreciate:recognize the full worth of.

At my core and natural being I am a worshiper so I would naturally be thankful and easy to be appreciative but I can’t be really be thankful if I don’t see the Value of what I have things (family,friend,gifts,Job,and ECT) .

This journey of becoming closer to God is I need to see the value in what he as given me and also what he has taken from me.

I might be stretched myself physical and spiritual but I see the Value in God stretching me.

⁴ For everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, ⁵ since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.1st Timothy 4:4-5
