His Schemes...(Don't be distracted!)

So, I haven't been writing lately and there is a reason to that. Satan knows what my family is trying to accomplish and he is trying so hard to take us out. I'm going to share with you all what happened to me last Friday.

I was at home with my girls and my husband was at work. Both girls had fallen asleep so I wanted to take advantage of that and take a shower. Well about a minute after being in the shower I suddenly became super dizzy and disoriented. The room was spinning and I became nauseous. All I wanted to do was make it to the living room where I had left my phone to call someone to help me. I closed my eyes hoping that when I opened them the spinning would have stopped and all would be normal again but to my surprise I opened them and the room continued to spin and I was more nauseous. I stumbled out of the shower trying to feel my way around so make it to the living room. I had closed my eyes again because the spinning was causing me to fall into everything. I just felt this enormous weight on me and it was pushing me down so heavily. I eventually made it to my phone that was on the couch and called my husband to come and help me. I could barely talk. My words wouldn't come out right and I had noticed that my right arm was hurting really bad and to make things worse the migraine I had been battling with since the Wednesday before had returned. I felt so outside of myself. What was going on?

My husband finally made it home and by that time the dizziness had ceased but I still had a headache and  my arm was hurting. All I could say during this whole ordeal was, 'Jesus, Jesus, help me!' I had never experienced anything like that. I've been through a lot physically in my life but NOTHING compared to what was going on with my body during this time. After my husband came home he asked if I was okay and proceeded to pray for me. While he was praying the Holy Spirit spoke to me and told me that this was just a distraction. Satan is trying to literally stop me from completing my book. Satan is trying to kill me. After talking with some nurses and reading I've come to realize that I probably had a mini-stroke. My husband was saying that throughout the week he had noticed that my speech was slurred and that I was having a hard time getting out my words but chalked it up as me just being tired. A MINI-STROKE! WHAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

I am just a few months away from being 27, I'm not the smallest woman but not the biggest either, I consider myself being a little active so realizing that I probably had a mini-stroke blew me away. You see I've had a stillbirth at 6 months, twin girls delivered prematurely at 5 months and a miscarriage and Satan couldn't get me to turn my back on God, in fact those trials only made me stronger and has created a testimony in me, so guess what Satan is doing now? Trying to destroy me physically, trying to take me out so that I will not complete these books that the Lord has placed in me. But guess what, I'm not new to his game. I know his schemes. In 2 Corinthians 2 it talks about not being outwitted to Satan's schemes and his design. We know Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10) but I know the one who gives life!

1 Peter 5:8-11
Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You're not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It's the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does. 




We served notice to Satan that he can just leave our bodies alone and that he will NOT take us OUT! MY GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY AND I HAVE LIFE!!!! I HAVE HEALING!!! I AM WHOLE AND WILL COMPLETE THE ASSIGNMENT GIVEN!


I am going to post a website of the message I was at on Sunday that just shifted my perspective on communion and the power of the blood. I am covered and I will complete my assignment. The lamb's blood is on my body, it's over the door post of my mind and when death and sickness comes to take me out it will see the BLOOD!! The next day, after death had taken out the first born in Egypt the hebrews left  from where they were and were freed from their bondage. I am free today, are you? Tell Satan to keep it moving and then pack up your stuff and run, run, run fast with the vision God has placed in your life and remember to stay sober in mind because Satan is always trying to run up on us and take us out anyway he can, mentally, physically and spiritually. 


****I am now exercising and eating better so that I can fulfill this assignment to the best of my ability. I will live and NOT die!!!*****


God Bless!

A Father's Love

Good Morning,
I woke up this morning and knew that I needed to share something that I was dealing with the other day. I was watching something on t.v and it was a father telling his daughter that he loved her, cherished her and that she was his only daughter so he wanted to make sure he spend some personal time with her to let her know that she was important. I just begin to tear up and eventually cry. Where were these tears coming from? This emotion was one I don't think I have ever really felt until now.

I am 26 years old and my biological father has never truly been present in my life, just in and out when I was younger but nothing really true, nothing really genuine. My step-dad was in my life from about 7 until a few years ago when my parents separated and our relationship kind of fizzled a little and in that our relationship had been a little rocky due to things from when I was a teen but with all that being said I realized that I truly desire to have my earthly father tell me these same words. These emotions that were stirred up within me were so unfamiliar I didn't even know what to do with them. A father's love is so essential, even if we don't think it does. I just knew that I didn't need that love and that I was just fine without a father...RIGHT?? He was the one missing out...Right? Quickly I found myself missing them and wishing I had a better relationship with them. Oh, to only hear those words spoken to me as an only daughter would be to me like water in the desert.

I look at my two daughters and I am so grateful that they have that. Their father loves them more than he can even express and I know they are jewels to him. In fact my husband tells my daughters all the time how beautiful they are, how precious they are and how much he loves them so much that our oldest expects to hear it every time her hair gets done. She automatically walks over to him and looks at him waiting to hear those words of love as if mommy's words weren't good enough.

Just sitting here now I can't help but to think of the love of my father in heaven, God. After the incident of me crying and desiring to hear those words, he spoke them to me. Letting me know that I was precious, loved and valuable. God loves me that much to see that I was having a hard time with the realization that I didn't have that, and whispered it to me letting me know that his love surpasses all.

Fathers I urge you to make sure you tell your daughters how beautiful, precious,  and loved they are by you. Believe me, it means a lot. I am older and still need to hear those words and although I don't have my earthly fathers telling me this, I have my heavenly father who loves me unconditionally. A father who doesn't leave me, who never changes, who doesn't move around everywhere, who constantly checks up on me and is ever near.

1 Corinthians 13:1-10


   ¹ If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. ²If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. ^{3 -7}If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

   Love never gives up.
   Love cares more for others than for self.
   Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
   Love doesn't strut,
   Doesn't have a swelled head,
   Doesn't force itself on others,
   Isn't always "me first,"
   Doesn't fly off the handle,
   Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
   Doesn't revel when others grovel,
   Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
   Puts up with anything,
   Trusts God always,
   Always looks for the best,
   Never looks back,
   But keeps going to the end.
   ^{8 -10}Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit.
