Sunday is coming…
Jesus received 39 stripes because 40 was known to kill a man. They wanted Him alive. They held handfuls of His beard, and hair and pulled it out by the roots. They wanted Him alive. They kicked, punched, and spit on Him for hours. Until there wasn't a single spot on His body not covered in blood. They wanted Him alive.

They shoved a crown of thorns down on His head so harshly it stuck in His skin. They wanted Him alive. After hours of being beaten, mocked, whipped, flogged, and tortured they made Him walk with a cross. A rough piece of wood digging into His fresh wounds. They wanted Him alive.

They wanted Him to feel every ounce of pain they could bring. He had to feel it in order to heal us.
Most of us cannot mentally think of the crucifixion because the cruelty of it isn't normal. It isn't something our minds can comprehend. We celebrate Easter with pastel colors. Truth is, there was absolutely nothing happy about the day Jesus died. It was cruel, bloody, and nasty.

He could have stopped all of it. He could have called every angel in heaven to demolish every person standing and shouting "Crucify Him!" He didn't. He knew in order to have a Sunday you have to have a Friday. He felt everything that day.
He felt how your heart broke wide open when you had to watch your baby die.
He felt how heavy your life was when you were staring down the barrel of a gun wondering if the man was going to shoot you.
He carried the weight of the burden you have felt since your spouse died, or left you, and life just doesn't seem right since.

Jesus leveled every playing field and said ALL of you are worth it.
He knew he had to carry the cross.
He never promised the cross you carry in this life would not be heavy.

His promise is that Sunday is coming.

No matter how heavy Friday is…financially, emotionally, mentally, or physically. Friday is heavy. That cross is weighing you down and you are about to crumble under its weight.
His promise was simply this: He won't make you carry it alone. What kind of king would step down from his throne for this?

Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God did. For you. So…look up, because Sunday is coming.

Hey guys you want to talk about God.... While reading through my Bible today I came across an important command a new one...one that God gave us and it was very self-explanatory. Matter of fact he explained it in such a way and even gave a description while he spoke about love and acceptance and serving others. I only pray my heart can be as giving and loving as our glorious father. God give me a brave heart to stand and lead like you. Let me not be afraid or ashamed to put myself last while serving in your kingdom God and give me a strong spirit to come boldly before you in the times I fail. I thank you in advance for everything you have shown us in your word and I ask that you continually work on my heart while I prepare myself for your kingdom in heaven.

John 13:34-35 NIV
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”❤️❤️❤️

Hey guys do you want to talk about God... Just want to speak on the kindness and the goodness that God has brought into my heart. I remember my journey with God started when I was young. I remember as young kid going to camp and praising God with all the rest of the people from church. At that young age I remember feeling loved at church so much more than I had ever felt. As I got older things changed. Situations molded me and I became hard. I remember going into church on Sundays and pleading with God to help me. Help me make better choices help me live a better life. I remember the desperation in my voice. I remember not believing for a long period of time that there was anything better for me. I remember feeling alone. I remember the feeling when I gave up. All my life I've struggled with who I am... While God has constantly used people to remind me that I'm loved. When I finally started to believe in truth instead of lies my life shifted. God aligned my life so well to where without a doubt I would not leave knowing that I was not loved. And if you ask me that is a pretty amazing story. ❤️ Love you guys.

In tough and trying times it's difficult to look beyond what’s currently happening in your life and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Whether you’re going through a big life change, a hard time for your family, or personal health concerns, an optimistic frame of mind can help you see a difficult challenge as an opportunity for gratitude.The Bible is also a great place to find scripture that sparks hopefulness.A time that gives renewing for my mind and my heart.These joyful moments can immediately help brighten your day as well as give you perspective and set the pace for truth. A lot of times we find ourselves tired... too tired for God. Listen I don't ever want to be too tired for God again. I was a lazy Christian. I had just enough Jesus to stay out of trouble but not enough to walk in Victory... who am I following?I don't ever want to trust my plan for my life more than I want to trust God. Life is tough it happens,it's busy, but am I going to be too busy for God? Or am I going to be available to let him mold and shape me. Really the choice is yours. Are you following God or are you following yourself? Are you seeking God and his will and his knowledge in your life or yours? Are you going to trust God has a plan for you at all times or are you gonna trust your plan? I say that because a lot of times being a lazy Christian is not even acknowledged nowadays, but how many of us open our Bible and really study his word ...and I'm not talking about on Sundays when you show up give a little praise and then forget about him till next Sunday. How many of us bring God into our everyday lives whether it be small groups, praying before work, encouraging each other as women, encouraging our husband's, getting on our knees, speaking the word of God over someone's life, setting an example to our children. How many of us really trust that God has a plan for us or are we just playing church on Sunday. A lot of times we only want to worship and seek God when we want and when we need. We have become very washed out, worn, and tired and have to start over every Sunday. I used to wonder why I would feel so empty throughout my week waiting for that Sunday to come. When if I could have just remembered to keep my eyes fixed on an all-knowing God, I would have trusted he has my best intentions, and will always see me through. Not every day is it easy to believe that, but finding the truth in those struggles is important. I have to trust that God has a plan for me through the good and the bad... and standing on that is important.God is our unyielding source of hope. From cover to cover, Scripture shows that when everything else crumbles, God remains steadfast. This isn't a passive or fleeting hope; it's a fiery assurance that a future of glory awaits believers. Life can beat us down with trials, sorrows and debilitating worries. God’s messages about our future hope can deeply encourage, inspire, uplift and motivate us all we have to do is something as simple as open up our Bible. A lot of times the question is are you too tired to open your Bible and find out for yourself what God has planned for you? How willing are you today to invest in yourself or are you going to wait for another Sunday?

Hey guys wanna talk about God...
One of the things that I have taken pride in throughout my journey is my mistakes, because there has always been opportunity for growth. Don't get me wrong a lot of my mistakes I would not like to repeat, but in all actuality I wouldn't be the person I am today if God wouldn't have helped me through those times. I cannot run from the mistakes that I have made I can only learn and grow from them. Choosing to address certain issues in my life, has become a must in order to continue to grow spiritually. One of the things that I continually run into is understanding where people are at. Someone told me once maybe I should choose to understand more than to be understood. Not every time is someone else's will going to line up with my life, and my will, and my direction and I have to learn to be okay with that. Persistence is the twin sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of time. So remembering to stay in my Lane is a continual thing in my growth process because I am very human and I have feelings and beliefs 😭 ❤️ However there are times where I like to shove my beliefs on other people ... These are my harder days😶‍🌫️😬 LOL. We are all granted free will and freedom of speech in order to be the individuals that we are, and even though we can all relate in some sort of way we are all different. Sometimes I forget that not everyone has went through my path and made my choices we come from different backgrounds and up ringings and that's okay. Sometimes I have to seek to understand rather than be understood. Although times can be difficult I find it important to keep up with God in the mixed of my battles, because sometimes there's a lesson in the struggle. A lot of times even though my intentions are pure and my motives are great, if I would just be more grateful and less entitled my attitude would be different. So there is always a constant self-check in there... a lot of times my lesson can come a lot later than they should, but all in all my only goal is to please God not to prove anything. However there is usually a mess in my life that needs to be addressed and fixed...I'm not perfect...go figure.🤦🏻‍♀️Working hard doesn't always have to mean being in overdrive 24/7.His strength can be found in your faith, which you can access through prayer whenever you need a reminder to be recharged. Every now and again reminders as opening up that Bible and not just reading it but studying it can help remind me who I am and not my situation. After everything I've learned I try my best to utilize and apply some of the life lessons given to me by the grace God. Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency. Greatness will come no matter what you do. It's important to use the gifts that the Lord has given you even in dark and confusing times sometimes self awareness helps us see that it's a you thing not an us thing. Although we may not immediately see the reward for our good doings, they will come. Do not give up! Perseverance is key.Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through the experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. Success is connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen.” ...

Galatians 6:9 NIV
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up

Hey guys wanna talk about God ... Have you ever felt like regardless of how hard you tried nothing seems to work out. The stress builds... the anxiety is pressing... Nothing is as it should be ...as if your just mere existing. Numerous times I get complacent in my life and in my journey and I forget how much I should be grateful for. It's funny how something is big as waking us up in the morning can get overlooked by the troubles of this world and become so small. Check this out and really check yourself real quick, because this is big and I don't want you to miss the point here. God thought you were so important that the world wouldn't be the same with you, and trust that's not a small thing to understand. You were thought out ...planned out ...and made with purpose and Love.You have something to be grateful for, and you have something to offer, walk in your purpose not yo huur situation. Life is not your situation and it is not even your struggle... Matter of fact it's not even yours to carry alone. One of the things that I look forward to is leaning on God and his understanding to help me in any and every situation. Do I always make the right decisions no. 😔 Do I worry and overreact and sometimes make a mess of things yes 🤦🏻‍♀️ God gives me the ability to problem solve in my life and he also gives me the grace to come at it one more time from a different perspective. One of the things that I LOVE about following God... is learning that I'm not perfect... nor will I ever be. Learning to give myself a break in every situation has been a battle in itself but it is very refreshing to know that God will carry me through my battles whether I feel like I'm in control or not. Rest assured that everybody has problems and nobody is perfect but also rest assured that you are loved welcomed and beautifully and wonderfully made.God takes care of us in every way.Sometimes we just have to wake up and realize it. Enjoy everyday because it truly is a gift.

Psalms 145:14-17 The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.

Hey guys wanna talk about God??? One of the things I really enjoy doing is watering my garden... my flowers have finally bloomed. I can see new flowers finally starting to peak through. 🫣🤗🤗🤗Good rest and meditation is always good for the heart which is one thing I love about gardening. Lately I have just been overworked and definitely on E. So taking a step back to breath usually helps when it comes to moving forward with a clean heart and clear mind. A well-watered garden can symbolize the abundance that God offers to human beings, the quiet care that can produce fruitfulness in our lives and in the world around us as great beauty. Being gentle and patient with our spirituality is fruitful and rewarding a rare beauty sometimes missed. Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. Amen🌸One of the things I love about opening my word is that it's always on time. The psalmist affirmed God's promise that the person who delights in His Word will “be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season” Psalm 1. A growing Christian, whether a new believer or a seasoned saint, is like a healthy tree—planted, nourished, and fruitful. Everyday can be eventful but I never want to forget to take it back to my root in which I grow. Remembering to remain teachable, reachable, accountable, willing, loving, while being steady and humble. Sounds like a lot but really it's quite simple ... living forever grateful 🥲. God gives us soooo much.... sometimes if we stop and look around even for a second... even the sun and moon don't hang the same when you think of all the good and awesome things God has surrounded you with. Sometimes just a snuggle with the ones you love, or maybe a movie night on a weekend, I would say a walk around the park but these mosquitoes 🦟🦟🦟 😬 Little joys like a prayer at work with co-workers or having someone to talk to. One of the things that has been a must this season is finding women who feed my spirit. I want to grow more as a mom, as a woman, as a leader which calls me to make different choices as a woman of God. Doesn't mean I have to be perfect I just have to try.❤️"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."Matthew 13
“I am a true sprouting vine, and the farmer who tends the vine is my Father. He cares for the branches connected to me by lifting and propping up the fruitless branches and pruning every fruitful branch to yield a greater harvest. John15
Love you guys 😘

In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth He also made the sun, moon, and stars; trees, flowers, and all vegetable life; and all animals, birds, fishes, and insects. Then God made man. The name of the first man was Adam, and the first woman was Eve. Both were placed in a beautiful garden called the Garden of Eden, where they might have been happy continually had they not sinned. But God forbade them to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Satan tempted Eve to take the fruit of this tree. She ate, and gave to Adam, and he ate also. Thus they sinned, and sin came into the world.
Then God called to Adam and said, "Where art thou?" Before this, Adam and Eve had been happy when God was near, now they were afraid. Why? Because they knew they had done wrong. So sin makes us afraid of God.
God rebuked them for the evil they had done; and then drove them out of the Garden of Eden, placing an angel to keep watch over the gate so that they could not return.
