TOP 5 Weekend motivations, inspirations, and declarations!

5. God is in control, and I am excited about the plans that HE has made for me. HE is awakening desires in me that I didn't even know were there. And HE continues to bless me no matter how hard headed that I am.

4. Dave Ramsey is pretty much amazing. And I am getting out of debt, because I want to be out of my mind crazy intense about honoring God by having a giving heart and leading by example in every area of my life.

3. Watching students talk through struggles with each other is possibly one of the most amazing experiences.

2. I am not going to contribute to the alcohol industry no drinking, no going out to bars, nothing at all. I feel that alcohol has had a tight grip on my family for far too long. This is a generational curse that I am breaking right now. I am not saying that it is a choice for everybody needs to make, but it is necessary for me to make.

1. We went to Como this Saturday for a micromission, and I have been to Como many times before. But this time the reality of the poverty level was heartbreaking. The director said that over 75% of the students at Como Elementary received free lunches, seriously over 75%, and sit here and waste so much. There are houses in Como that look like the houses that are in Mexico. Man my heart was torn out and put in my face. I remember reading in a book one time that the author would pray that God would ruin him, and that is exactly what happened to me. And I am so happy to be ruined.

Modesty

I just want to ask every woman, lady, and girl whatever happened to modesty? Whatever happened to respecting your self? What happened to preserving your purity? I am constantly watching women with super short shorts, and their chest hanging out, cursing like sailors. Seriously we should guard are hearts with extreme force. I am so confused about how we let ourselves be minimized to nothing. God did not create us as objects, that are free to dress how and talk however we choose. He didn't create us to be sex symbols on the cover of magazines. There is a way to be modest and still be sexy. There is a way to have people to respect, because of the choices that you make every morning when you get dressed. I think that God has called us all as women to be something more, to do something more, to not become the stereotype. To not be a carbon copy of what the world says that we are. Be difference!
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.
Proverbs 31:25-26

My Big Day

Today marks the beginning. The beginning of something "BIG". I can't tell you what it is, but I can tell you that it's "BIG". I discussed it with God, and he said, "go for it baby girl." He has his hand all over this "BIG" thing. It is truly going to be great. It is great because it has God's hand all over it. No don't try and guess what it is just pray! The verse that, God has placed in my heart is Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Hmm meditate on that with me! Until later, holla!

Man up and deal with it!

The season of life I am in right now is definitely a season of rebuilding, and more task oriented than ever before. I am constantly being pruned and broke down by God, I am learning so much in the process. But at the same time I am struggling with transitioning my attitude to accept this season. I think as women we are never content with what God has postioned on our plate, but sometimes we have to man up and deal with it.
