Coffee and Jesus

It's been a sweet morning.  Even though I only got a few hours of sleep I'm still feeling joyous.   This morning is extra sweet because Alex is home today.  As I was studying I glanced over and seen Max and Alex bonding. There's mornings are rare.  A sweet blessing. 

I just LOVE when I get in my study and God gives me the exact words!  He's always on time.   It's also refreshing to give my burdens to him, ask him for guidance and thank him for all that He's done for my life. I woke up with a burden on my heart but I knew before I could move forward in my day I needed to give it to God.  

I'm not perfect, I'm tired at times but one things remains: I'm always JOYFUL!  Life's too short to be worried or live in fear.  Been there done that.  I want to wake up everyday and find something good to celebrate.  Even when the seasons change - it's just a sign that I'm moving forward.  Sure some moments might be challenging but it's part of the process.   I'll continue to dust myself off. God has great plans for my life and everyday He gets me one step closer.  GLORY TO HIM ❤️

There will always be people saying things about me and maybe in the past I would have let it affect me to the point of focusing on it.  But now I just pray for them.  I can honestly say I know who I am.  I've worked really hard to get where I am today.  I'm PROUD of the woman I am today!  If Jesus brought it to me no man can take it away.  

How does one get to this point?  Well, I wish I had the answers.  But what I can tell you is what has worked for me:

*Prayer

*Study Gods word

*Journaling

*Walking in His ways

*Fellowship with others

*Praying for others

*Surrending my worries

*Knowing Gods plan for my life

*Letting Go

*Putting my flesh to the side

God is my #1 leader, mentor and counselor.  Almost all the time I go to Him for clarity.  I say almost because I'm human and sometimes I do things on my own.  It only leads me to frustration, stress and drama that I created to self.  I've learned and still do - the hard way.  Remember I'm not perfect. HA!

I always like to think and encourage others by telling them to NEVER GIVE UP!  Your mountain may be big to climb but just know there is always VICTORY!   Have faith.  Believe in yourself!  Surround yourself with others that encourage you. Always be willing to learn.  Thank JESUS daily!

We all have a choice - what choices are you going to make?   

Strong & Fearless ❤️
