Are you saved FOR REAL? Or just saved in church?

Have you ever asked yourself that question? Are you saved FOR REAL or just saved in church?

Well I have! The more I go to church services, events and see how we worship and how we are at church it makes me wonder if we do the same behind closed doors when nobody is looking! When you're in that secret place where nobody is around you! Do you still worship Him the same? Do you love on Him the same?
Many at times we go on about our own business during the week not acknowledging God and not spending time with Him but on Sundays when we go to church He becomes our centre of attention or even worse we only go to Him when everything goes wrong and when we have nobody to turn to but as soon as we get back on our feet we forget Him! I've been there and the Holy Spirit revealed it to me through friendship challenges I was facing. 

Lemme share a lil  story with y'all!

During my three years at uni I spent so much time investing on friendships with close friends. For some of them I sacrificed time and money to make sure that they were ok. Every birthday of theirs I would go to the extent of organizing surprise birthday parties and make sure that everything went smoothly and accordingly whereas my birthdays would often be recognized but not celebrated. Saw them in their great days as well as in their bad days, had their backs as much as I could and really carried them in my heart. Never saw it as a big deal until I left university and some of the people for which I sacrificed the most I wouldn't hear from them. They would barely if not remember my birthday. I would hear that they'd be in the same city as me but yet wouldn't hear from them at all; but when I would see them in public they would act as if we were tight and always spoke and looked very excited to see me but when we would leave that occasion and go our separate ways I wouldn't hear from them until another occasion.

That deeply hurt me and I was like "God really?? How can people be so ungrateful, act like they know me in public but yet behind the scenes they never talk to me, they don't even remember my birthdays!!" then the Holy Spirit said to me that this is what many of us do to God. We stay with him when we're struggling, we fast, pray and seek Him earnestly and when things get better we don't talk to him as much but on Sundays we bawl, we cry, we lift up holy hands and act like we know Him but behind the scenes we don't even speak to Him nor do we even acknowledge Him!

This goes out to all Christians! Most especially the ones standing in the office of a minister, Praise &Worship leader, Pastors and anyone that is in the public eye.
I myself am a Praise & Worship Leader having that revelation caused me to look back at the times where I led Praise & Worship; I was worshiping a God that I knew of without knowing Him personally. And God had to use that situation in my life to make me understand how it feels! Since then I refused to be so caught up with God's work that I don't spend time with Him! Getting to know Him personally!
Luke 10:38-42 in the (NIV)says : 38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" 41 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed-or indeed only one.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
When we look at the story of Martha and Mary, nothing in the Bible states that Mary couldn't cook or help around the house; I believe that she was as skilled as Martha but when she was in Jesus's presence she decided to stay at his feet and just pull on Him. Many of us are like Martha, busy running around from one place to the other worried about many things but the most important one which is to spend time with God in your secret place. Standing in front of people ministering in His name, leading people into a place of Praise & Worship where we ourselves have not even entered into in our secret place with Him. You might not spend two hours praying or ten hours reading the Bible but as long as you do spend time with Him daily is the most important. Knowing the Lord for myself in the past 8 years has been the greatest experience I've lived in my entire life. Being born in church and having grown up in church coming from a Christian home wasn’t enough for me! I had to get to know Him for myself. Getting to know God and feeling so close to Him is priceless! I don't always pray for two hours a day nor do I fast 21 days a month but whenever I have time and I remember I talk to God like He was a person jamming with me, letting Him know about my problems, struggles and trials, as well as acknowledging Him, thanking Him for life and worshiping Him. 

God is not hard to understand nor does He hide; Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV) says: "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" .When you seek him with your whole heart he's there available waiting for you, He'll stand by you like no other. Where all others fail that's where He goes beyond! Where man's understanding and wisdom finishes that where His starts!

Are you ready to be saved for real today? Take it to God in prayer and adjust your timetable! Make Him the priority. Don't only live your life speaking of, teaching about, worshiping a God that you know of, but do it worshiping  speaking of and teaching about a God you PERSONALLY know! That makes the difference between Relationship with God and Religion! Matthew 15:8 (NIV) says : "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me". No more lip service! Let it become a pure heart service! After all He died for us and He gave himself up so that we can be free and walk in liberty! 
Let us not only be saved in church or in front of people!! But let us be saved FOR REAL!

Make that decision today! And I can truly guarantee that your life will never remain the same!

Be and Stay Blessed always!

Love y'all

It's All A Matter Of The Heart (So What's your Heart saying?)

As I laid in bed one night pondering on many things, “Worship” dropped in my spirit. Worship is not only the singing that we do but it is our service to God. Whatever you do in Gods house and for God is seen as an act of worship. And as I kept on being still the Holy Spirit started to minister to me about the Heart! God places so much importance on the heart. The word heart is used over 720 times in the Old Testament and about 164 times in the New Testament. We normally attribute it to the physical organ or an emotional feeling. Scripture describes it as the whole or centre of man’s inner life or nature. We can think and imagine with our hearts (Genesis 6:5), we can love God with our hearts (Mark 12:30) , We can make choices, decide things in our hearts (Daniel 1:8)  ,we can hate with hearts  (2 Samuel 6:16) and we can believe with our hearts (Acts 8:37). The physiological purpose of the heart is to pump the blood that bathes every organ of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, and removes waste products from the tissues. If the pumping action of the heart is disrupted, the body’s organs begin to fail very quickly. Therefore, life itself is dependent on the efficient operation of the heart. The same way the heart pumps blood to every organ of the body and that blood carries oxygen and nutrient to the tissues and removes waste products is the same way the state of our hearts works in our Christian walk and in our service to God.

Matt 5:8: “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” If your heart is not pure, you can’t see God so how are you going to lead people to Him if you can’t see him yourself?? What is a pure heart? A pure heart is not necessarily a perfect one but it is a heart that admits when they are wrong, always willing to do the right thing and follow what is right!

You see many at times we go to church and come home, we serve in different ministries pursuing our different callings and destinies do we really take time out to stop and look at the heart we serve with? It doesn’t matter whether you sing in the choir or usher or even clean the toilet in your respective church as your services and act of worship to God but what matters is the heart you do it with.As it is all a matter of the Heart what is YOUR heart saying?

A man that we can definitely learn from is The Psalmist David who was called a man after Gods own heart as Acts 13:22(KJV) “And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.”

Acts 13:22 (AMP) “²² And when He had deposed him, He raised up David to be their king; of him He bore witness and said, I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart, who will do all My will and carry out My program fully.”David was a man that loved God more than anything! David was an undignified worshipper and servant! He wasn’t scared to look ridiculous for God! A man that seeked to do Gods will and above all he was a man who knew how to touch God’s heart.But let’s start from the beginning! Let me give you an insight of the beginning of David’s story As God has rejected Saul due to his pride and disobedience, God now sent the prophet Samuel to ordain another King. That King would come out of the house of Jesse. As Samuel went to Jesse’s house he explained everything and told him to bring all his sons out because out of them a King would be chosen. And Jesse called all his sons except David. As Samuel looked at David’s brothers he thought surely out of these ones must be God’s chosen one then God stopped him and said look not on the outer appearances, on their statures or their muscles but for I The LORD does not look on the outer appearance of man but I look at the heart(The bible says in 1 Samuel 16:7(KJV) says “But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”) And therefore God chose David and David was the one that ruled over Israel and Judah for many years and till this day he’s known as the greatest Psalmist of all times that knew how to touch God’s heart!A pure heart is not perfect heart! A pure heart is a heart that acknowledges when they’re wrong and cries out for mercy! A heart that completely depends on God, a heart that knows that without God they are nothing! And David had that heart. Every time he sinned he went before God and repented Psalm 51 was written out of a repented heart (For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba) Psalm 51:17(KJV) “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise”.Psalm 51:17 (New Living Translation) “The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.” .The Bible clearly says in James 4:6 that “God opposes the proud, but shows favour to the humble”. We were created to worship God. Worship is from your heart. You can sing but not worship! Worship is not only singing it is your service to God. Doing what you were called to do with a pure heart. So what is your heart saying? Are you just serving God for the fringe benefits of serving Him or are you worshipping/serving Him for who He is? Are you just doing lip service or heart service? Matthew 15:8 “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.”The State of your heart differentiates between A Relationship with God and Religion Where is your heart at?  Do you serve God to please him, to know him better or just for the anointing so that when people see you they can hype you? Prov 18:16 “A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men” But a PURE HEART will make room for you and KEEP you before great men. As that heart will never think that you’ve arrived but will constantly seek to know God more not just to God to the next level in ministry but to know God more for yourself and that is what God is after.

As a singer you can riff and run up to the roof! But if your heart is not pure nor in the right place with the wrong motives all that you do is in vain!A pure heart and a humble heart attracts God and causes you to become a man/ woman after his heart to be favoured by him and for you to connect with Him to know what he wants you to do. A pure heart is a heart open to correction, a heart willing to learn, a heart saying Lord I don’t have it together and I never will have it together unless you hold me together. A heart that understands that we can’t do anything without God! A heart always opens to hearchecks! We need to check our hearts! These are all matters of the heart.

So Where is your heart at? What is your heart saying?

Dearly beloved I pray that this Blog will be a blessing to you! In this season I encourage you to seek to serve God with a pure heart! Seek to know who He is and know His heart! He is an amazing God not hard to understand if you would only seek Him you’ll find Him!

And remember! I love y’all but God loves you more!

Bless up!

Is it Ever Going to Be Alright?? (If He Did It Before, He can do it AGAIN!)

Have you ever gone through situations so tough that you  wondered “Is It Ever going to be Alright?” You try to hold on, 

be strong and courageous whilst persuading yourself that it will soon be over but yet it seems like it is still going on and never ending?  Then you get to a place of discouragement and total despair. The load seems too heavy to carry and the pain too much to bear; it seems like nobody understands what you’re going through. You feel all by yourself in this situation! Your heart feels so heavy that it physically starts to hurt just thinking about where you’re at and what you’re going through? You haven’t given up but you are on the verge of giving up, barely hanging on. 

You go to church Sunday after Sunday with that pain. You smile and act like everything is ok but yet you know deep deep down inside that you’re not alright because of what you’re going through? You stand there leading Praise & Worship, ushering, playing your instrument, preaching but yet you’re soo discouraged! It feels like you’re often the one to give someone an encouragement when they need it the most but yet when it comes to you it seems like nobody is there to give you a helping hand to boost your faith up and encourage you? If that’s you then this blog is for you!

Recently I was going through very discouraging times! Things that I was waiting on God to for were still not happening.  Just when it seemed like things were going to breakthrough things started to go downhill. And then I found myself in a place of total discouragement and despair. My heart was soo heavy that I couldn’t even talk to anyone concerning what I was going through. I would find myself crying out to God and weeping asking “Why me?? When is it going to come to pass”  Anybody been there where it always seems to be you that’s facing a hard time whilst some other people seem to be enjoying their lives (Based on how they act and what we can see from the outside coz we don’t know what they are going through behind the scenes! #Selah Moment right there!)? You ain’t the only one!! I would weep and cry, weep and cry, weep and cry asking God all the Why’s, When’s and How’s! 

Then one day I was on my way somewhere then I looked at my bible app on my phone and the 1st scripture that came up was: Jeremiah 29:11 in the Kings James Version it reads:

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of  peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”And in the NIV it reads “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, 

plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. Then the Lord begin to remind me of the tests and trials that he brought me out of and as I look back I can truly testify that had it not been for the Lord who was on my side where would I be??!! You see sometimes when we go through our current test we often forget the many testimonies that came out of the tests that God brought us out of in the past. The Lord then began to reassure me that if He brought me out then, He can surely and assuredly bring me out now. No matter the situation, no matter the challenge the word of God is true. The bible says in Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”. If He said it it will surely come to pass! In our current test we have to realize that oftentimes the way God brought you out of tests in the past might not be how he will bring you out of the one you’re in! His ways are not our ways and his thoughts certainly not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9).  As long as we keep our eyes focused on Him and Him alone the mountains we are facing will become invisible.

When you look at the story of Peter walking on the water (Matthew 14:22-33) He was in the midst of a storm, had the faith to come out of stress, fear, panic and doubt and go towards Jesus! But as he was walking as soon as he turned his attention off Jesus and started focusing on the wind and how it was impossible for him to walk on water and be at peace in the midst of the storm he began to sink! As Jesus stretched his hand he said to Peter “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” (V31- NIV). Peter had seen many miracles performed by Jesus and had witnessed Jesus saving him and the rest of the disciples in a similar situation as He calmed the storm in Matthew 8:23-27. He was expecting Jesus to silence the storm like He did before but Jesus had another agenda. And because the way Jesus was going to bring him out of that one didn’t seem like how he brought him and the rest of the disciples he began to doubt, fear and started to sink.

Like Peter you’re facing the storms of life and you decide to stretch forth and look to Jesus, you’re doing fine for a while, you have peace in the situation you’re in knowing that God will bring out but then you like Peter start sinking because of doubt, fear and panic, looking at the situation, thinking this is not how God brought me out before. There you are sinking in depression, oppression, discouragement and despair.

But let me encourage you that in the midst of it all God is in total and complete control. He has never failed you and He is not about to start now! Even as you are going through your current test! Remember the testimonies from your previous tests and let it encourage you that if He did it before! He can surely do it again! Sometimes God won’t send people to boost your faith or give you a word of knowledge. Sometimes God will allow you to go down Memory Lane, Past street and Trials avenue to encourage you and remind you that He is in control and that indeed it will be ALRIGHT!!! Why??? Because His thoughts towards you are GOOD to give you an EXPECTED END! He might not bring you out of your test they way He'll bring your friend out of his/her test but He will bring you out uniquely so that you can have a testimony that's yours and unique!

Keep on keeping on and keep on holding on!! Just know that in DUE season if you’re not weary in well doing! You shall reap if you faint not (Galatians 6:9)!

Be encouraged y’all!

Love you all and God loves you more

Let God Father You

We are living in a world where everyone is looking for a Father figure whether male or female. God made it so that an ideal family would have a father and a mother to show order and bring stability in the home. Even the Holy Trinity is composed of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit displaying order. A father figure nowadays is so important for our young women as well as for our young men. But often times in many cases the fathers are absent for one reason or the other not realizing the damage it causes not only to the mothers who have to be both  father and mother but also to the children involved.

A father is not only someone whose sperm unites with and egg resulting in the conception of a child! That is not where his role ends!! in fact that is where his role begins.A father is not only a man that acknowledges his responsibilities but it is a man that would go to any length to ensure  his family is safe ,lead his family as God leads him and above all show the fatherly love that every son and daughter so long for.

Many young men longed to hear their dad say "Well Done Son! I knew you could do it" whilst young woman longed to hear "You are beautiful and you'll always be my little princess". But unfortunately many young men and young women never got to hear these sentences that many others raised by their father as well as their mother take for granted.

And when that happens we see many young men walking around with no confidence in themselves not understanding what respect is and how to earn it searching and yearning for that fatherly love in anything as long as it looks like it's the real thing; and because of that they'll go to any length to fill that void inside of them  I.e gangs,being womanizers jumping from one woman to another and many more length seeking affection, acceptance, a sense of purpose and respect.

Many young women struggle with low self-esteem seeking for someone to affirm them as long as they feel accepted and valued. Leading to too many being lead astray, being lured to love and be loved by someone that doesn't even know what love is and how to show it instead they'll show you what they think love is.

If you're out there and you've grown without a father and have experienced the feelings above. You are not alone! There are many people out there suffering and hurting and I was one of them!

Psalm 68:5a says that God is "a Father to the Fatherless". If you're looking for a father that will fill this void inside you that only God can and that will love you Let God Father You!

I've been there, seen it and I know what you're going through! Let me share a little  testimony!

I'm the oldest of three, I have two brothers and I was raised by my mum!

My mum miscarried before she had me and  when she got pregnant with me my dad wanted me aborted and did not want to have anything to do with the pregnancy; born two months early with my mum suffering from preeclampsia thank God my mum and I made it!.

My dad then left my mum with three children age 5, 3 and 6 months.At the age of 29 she was left with three children! Thank God she was saved and allowed God in.

From a young age I felt rejected and unloved by the one who should have been there for me! Comfort me when I'm crying, tell me how beautiful I was and how much he loved me. Instead of that when my dad was supposed to come and see us we'd wait for him excited and looking forward to seeing him then we would have the harsh news from my mum "Sorry Darlings, Daddy said that He couldn't make it" or in other instances he would send his girlfriends to drop our Christmas presents or occasionally on our birthday if he remembered.

Growing up I suffered from low self-esteem.Never thought I was beautiful enough or good enough always felt rejected somehow even though I was surrounded by a caring and loving family. 

Then last year where God made me realize that I was so busy looking for a father figure and fatherly love in man,in positions and places that I hardly paid attention or even asked God who is love to father me, love me and fill this void inside.1 John 4:8 (NIV version) says Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

I was so hungry for God, tired of being disappointed by people that I went down on my knees and asked God to reveal to me what His love is and for God to father me.

And the revelation of God's love wasn't only  made clearer through revelations of who he is but it was as if a void inside of me had been filled with a feeling of security, warmth,confidence and love that I had never felt or even experienced before; and as I grow in God daily, He keeps on showering me with his love.

One thing God made realize is that as the bible says  in Hebrews 13:8 " Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever"God does not change!.Which means that God's love is unconditional, irrespective of your condition.Whatever you do God loved,loves and will always love. So by you putting your confidence, your self-esteem and your trust in Him,regardless of what you do His mind about you remains the same. But men we change like the weather, we love you conditionally in respective of your condition.One day we'll hype you and be on your side, but the next day if you mess up we start looking at you funny and our attitude towards you changes.

Let it encourage you! Sisters!!!Stop selling yourself short and chasing everything you think is love or looks like love but chase the one who is the definition of Love itself!Let Him father you! Let him show you your worth! Let him tell you "You are beautiful and you'll always be my little princess". He will fill that void in your heart and love you the way you truly deserve. Not only will he show you how to be loved but he'll show you how to love

Brothers! It's time to man up and stop trying to earn respect and love without knowing the one who is Love itself! The one who will teach you how to respect, be respected, the one who will always tell you  "Well Done Son! I knew you could do it"  the one who will fill the void of that fatherly love that you've always longed for!! He can do it brothers! I know He can!!

Let it be an encouragement to you all!! If God did it for me He can do it for you too!

All you have to do is let him in!

I would  like take this opportunity to give a massive Shout Out to My mother Sylvia Matanda!Thank you for all the sacrifices you made and how you've taken care of us!!! Love you mum!

And to all the single mothers out there who are working hard to raise their children in the fear of God to become all that God wants them to be!Be encouraged! Keep striving and keep on keeping on for in due time you will reap if you faint not!

Remember I Love you all but God loves you more!

God's Time is always THEE BEST

One thing I have learnt over the past few years is to understand the art of waiting on God and God’s timing for things to come to pass in our lives. Know that God is not a man that He should lie, neither is He the son of man that He should repent of his word! If He said it, It will surely come to pass in HIS time not YOUR time. He knows our beginning and our end! He has it all planned out for us!  All you need to do is to trust Him and let Him do it! Easier said than done right?? that I know for sure but when you learn to trust Him and wait on Him with peace in your heart knowing that what He said will come to pass! Life will be soo much easier. No amount of worrying, crying or stressing will change your situation. But you can choose to go through it miserably and depressed or go through that situation with God’s peace and enjoy the ride.

Ecclesiates 3:1 says that To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. When you read further down to the verse 11 of that same chapter it tells us that He hath made every thing beautiful in his time. Notice it says in HIS time nor OUR time.

It can be so difficult at times to wait and stand by these scriptures when times get tough. Especially when it seems like everything is happening for everybody else but nothing is changing in your life. You are always the one who prays for people, the one your friends run to when in trouble and the one to advice people  but yet when it comes to your own situations it seems like things are going from bad to worse . And you wonder Lord, why is it that when I pray for people, stand and agree with people it works for them? Even going further, you’re the one that always has a word for people, a confirmation for someone and when it comes to you no one has anything? Is that your story? Well you are so not alone in this because there are many people going through the same thing daily including myself.

As these questions piled up in my mind I asked God why it was so and the Holy Spirit brought to my heart these two scriptures( Ecclesiates 3:1,11).  And as I asked him to elaborate He brought me back to the season where I was looking for a job. Let me share a quick testimony with y’all and you’ll understand better.

I graduated from university end of August 2011 as a Diagnostic Radiographer.  A diagnostic Radiographer is not the studies of radios like many people told me they thought  it was!lol! For those of you who don’t know, a diagnostic radiographer is a radiologic technologist who uses x-rays, ultrasound and other forms of imaging technology to examine patients.

I had major surgery in September 2011 and after recovering from that surgery I was applying for jobs all over the UK with no success, had a few interviews but the hospitals those interviews were in were too far away from home so I kept on applying. Then at end of November 2011 I was offered an interview in a major hospital in London not too far from where I lived so I would be able to see my family more often compared to my uni days. When I saw the e-mail with the details of that interview, the Holy Ghost immediately told me that I was going to move to London and that,  that job was mine. So as I went to that interview I went in confident that by God’s grace I would have the job. Went to the interview and everything went great, they were impressed with my  personal statement and my experience. I left that interview confident that I had the job. Then 4 days later I received a letter saying that unfortunately I didn’t get the job. I was so discouraged and thought Lord but I’m sure that you told me that that job was mine! Why have I been rejected?? Doubt started creeping in and I thought maybe I didn't hear right! So I picked myself up and thought well let’s move on and keep applying. Then two weeks later I got a phone call from the manager of that hospital asking me if I received the rejection letter and then I really thought “Are you actually serious??? You’ve already rejected me and now you want to rub it in my face???” ( I didn’t say it! lol! Don't start panicking and say"Oh No she didn't!lol! I just thought it!loool!) I told him that I did, he then told me that I wasn’t shortlisted for the permanent position but that they would like to offer me a one year contract starting end of January 2012 that will be extended to a permanent  one depending on my performance. You can imagine that by then I was OVER THE MOON!!!! I thought WOW! God!! It is truly not over until you say it is!! Now you must think what a great story but there’s more to it! 7 months into my job, a student I was mentoring asked my manager which radiographer he should go to for tips and advice on interviews and the manager told him “ In the last panel we interviewed  the best interviewee was Valencia, her interview performance was the best out of  all the other candidates”. Now when the student came back and told me, I asked myself if I was the best interviewee out of all the other candidates why didn’t I get the job first time?? Then the Holy Ghost said to me because it wasn’t your time to start working yet! I had been working so hard over my uni years not only studying but being one of the leaders in a student fellowship on campus, I hadn’t had much time to just rest. So God delayed it so that I could rest! In total I had a 7 month break in which I spent time seeking God and time with my family and friends! Now a year later I’m officially a permanent member of staff!

Let my testimony encourage you! Whatever you are facing don’t you worry but wait on God for his time is the best! It didn’t make sense until 7 months in the job why I didn’t get it first time. It not only applies to jobs but also marriage, children, business anything you’ve been waiting on God for! Know that He will indeed make everything BEAUTIFUL (Flawless, special, amazing) in HIS own time. What you are going through now might not make sense now but later it will TRUST ME! There’s an old school song that says “He’s an on Time God…. He may not come when you want it but He’ll be there right on time”.

In your season of waiting don’t let the enemy rob you from resting in God or even rob you of your joy! Let the peace of God that compasses all understanding guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus (Phillipians 4:7). Ask God to give you perfect peace in the midst of your storm and your wait and as He did it for me He will surely do it for you!

Be encouraged y’all!

Love you all and God loves you more
