Going Through a Storm

Good Morning Sisters!
Jesus, you have always been with me in the midst of my storms God; and in this season, and in this time, it ain't no different than any other. It just feels like it.
I'm in the boat with God and He is literally rowing me.
In faith (even as little as a mustard seed) I'm trusting and believing in God that He's rowing me in the boat of my life.
During the good times and especially during the bad times.
I’m trusting God to row me, lead me and guide me through it all. I have no other choice.

I had enough faith in God to save me. To save my life from the Hell I called life and world in 2001.
He saved me from that pit.
I began to turn to Him, to believe something in Him, by the words that I was hearing about Him and His goodness about who He was and His goodness and greatness, I took a chance.
I thank God for the seeds that were sown, the seeds that took root to a stoney heart that had begun to turn fertile.
I took a chance on God, I tried Him, but really He tried, He took a chance, He chose me and He loved me first.
I stepped out on faith --the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.
I stepped out on faith that He would make it better for me. He would make my life better for me, but really, it's all for Him, He made my life better for Him. He's doing it for Him and His glory.

So here I am and now there's crashing waves hitting me in this raging sea Jesus, the deep current of waters, the tsunamis, cyclones, tornadoes God and I'm being tossed to and fro and all over the place with everything hitting and I'm tired God. I'm hurting, I'm crying every day, every night, wanting to jump overboard Jesus, yea that's right I said it. It's real talk.

But I can't, I don't, because I remember that I have a Savior (SAVER), a life jacket, a preserver, a dingy, an anchor, I got a real live life guard name JESUS CHRIST that's in the boat with me that's rowing me in these troubled times that won't tell the storms to be still and be calm just yet like he easily can with His voice but will be right there with me, in them, and by my side.

Jesus I trusted you then and oh God how I have to trust you even more now, I thank you for remember me, and for being in the boat with me but I thank you for never changing because if you are the same God that did it for your disciples that calmed the raging seas in Matthew 8:23-27 I know you'll do it for me too. It gets better, it gets easier, just hold on, this too shall pass.

Thanks for reading, be blessed, and please share!

2 Chronicles 7:14

Hello lovelies!
Whoooosaaaa! That’s all I'm going to say, whoooooosaaaaa that, and to God be the glory! This has been a little, NO a lot of a week but I’m so grateful to my God. I'm grateful that He talks with me, and tells me what to do and how to do.

I'll be quick because that's exactly the kind of week it's been and continues to be.
Situations keep coming up this week where God is truly showing Himself in me, through me and what needs to come out. It don't feel good y'all especially when you think you doing alright.

During one of these exposure to self-time I begin to pray and the Lord gave me
2 Chronicles 7:14; and He was very specific with it.

Over the course of the moments, hours and couple of days to follow He became to gear the pray for me more specifically. The NIV is below.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Whoa, God, what is this? I hear you but what are you saying? I’m glad you ask my child.
It may sting but I'm so happy that I serve a Father that loves me enough to take time to explain to me what He wants from me; it's not to hurt me but to make me better in Him.

If my people (my daughter, my child, you Deidre), who are called by my name will humble themselves (surrender to me, submit to me, lift up your hands to me, praise and worship me, admit to me, cry out, love me, turn to me, trust me, be with me, walk with me, remember my name, bow before me, repent, repent, repent, repent, repent, be desperate for me, love me, desire me, my will, my word, my path) and pray (have a relationship with me, talk with me and I to you, ALL the time) and seek my face (don't look to man, look to me and my answers, don't be of this world but be of me, be different and peculiar like I made you) and turn from their wicked ways (your own agenda, your own will, your own way, your own flesh, what you want to do, when you want to do it, and how much you want to do it) then I will hear from heaven, (turn my attentive ear to your cries, to your pleas, your prayers,) and I will forgive the their sin (I will bless you, answer you, give you the desires of your heart, I will lead you and direct you) and will heal their land (I will heal you, your mind, body, heart and soul.)  

God thank you! I hear you, I believe you and I trust you. This was specifically for me. I know that you are not playing God because time is short and the enemy isn’t playing either. It’s time for me to get together. I kept retyping repent, because there are some things that we know we need to repent about and we don’t and when we come down broke to God He will tell us to repent to Him to get it up off of us. We have to, we have to be open, honest and vulnerable to Him.

I thank you all for reading, my week is getting better just by the release of this post. I love you all. Be blessed, happy reading and please share.

I Have Sisters!!!

God is so strategic. He really is, last week I realized that God was my Daddy. I mean I knew that He was, we call Him Abba Father, and we say that we are His daughters but it was something about last week that hit me to know that the Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost is my Daddy. That term of endearment, My Daddy. It was ordained. I get it. The aha moment came when it was supposed to come. 

Then comes Sunday when I posted this picture and name of the book above You Are a Daughter of the King Embrace Who God Created You to Be by Gail M Hayes given to me by a divine connection. 

Amazing, a blessing, a phenomenal read. 

Again, it was strategic and ordained by God because that night and the two nights that followed I discovered that yes, God really is my Daddy, I'm created in the image that He planned for me, and I have sisters.

 

You know how we have DNA and genetic makeup from our families? How we have blue eyes from your dad's side of the family, or red hair from great-grandma on your momma's side? How our lips are big, small, how some of us are short, tall, and how we have different personalities, just everything? 

This book tells us about our GOD makeup, it explains our very own uniqueness in Him. Your very own style, your walk, talk and personality in Him, from Him. We are all so very different and He wants you to know who you are and who’s you belong too. All HIM.

You are a child of the King, you have authority and power and you are an heir to the throne. His throne.

In the beginning of the book, there is a short quiz called the Image Indicator. Its 12 questions that put you in one or maybe several images. There are six of them and I have the Jaunty Esprit image. 

Jaunty- means nonchalant or relaxed, and without a great deal of fuss.

Esprit- is a cleverness and freedom of mind and spirit. 

The Jaunty Esprit is a peacemaker and defender of justice.

God’s a peacemaker and defender of justice…yes, He is.

I promise you I could have thrown this book across the room then and 50 more times while reading it.  It's so very true, real, and exact; but then again why wouldn't it be it's the image that God has given me and made me in. His image and He knows what He created. I just had to figure it out.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 

The book talks about your style in every aspect. It told me about my Jaunty Esprit as a woman, wife, mother, daughter, my family life, working style, and my inner and outer style, the reason behind my clothing choices, color schemes, jewelry, hair and makeup too. There’s even a special note for mothers that might have daughters.

  

This was incredible to know but what I also learned during reading this book was the best. I have sisters that have the same Jaunty Esprit image as I do. 

Sisters in God, like no for real for real, the ones that have the same blood, GOD, feelings and thoughts. No we’re not exactly alike or twins but God is our Daddy and He made us. 

My sisters are Abigail, she was a peacemaker, and an honorable and wise wife (1Samuel 25),

Deborah, was a judge, she was fair and honest in her judgement (Judges 4 and 5), and

Martha, a woman of great faith, she was prepared to take action for her brother Lazarus (Luke 10).

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, this book blessed me and I promise you has changed my life and perspective of myself. I have a Daddy and I have sisters too; mighty women of God who loved the Lord and He loved them too, so much He created them in His image, and they walked in it. I will too. When you know better you do better…

Ladies please really think about getting this book it will bless you, open doors, and answer so many questions about why you think, act, say, dress, and do the many things that you do. 

Plus, let’s find out who else you’re related too. Find out who your sisters are in God and how you can emulate them from top to bottom, and from the inside out; and then let’s share with our other sisters here in our lives now so that we can all know and be better together. 

Thank you all for reading, please share, be blessed AND*****GET THE BOOK******
