For such a time as this

For such a time as this This group was designed from a vision that I was given by Holy Spirit. It's a group for encouragement

What are we doing when the cameras aren't rolling, so to speak? Are we still going out to help our neighbor when things are difficult? Trust me, this is not a post meaning to condemn anyone. I'm just asking a legitimate question. Will we do the same exact thing that would bring recognition to us, as if we were never going to receive recognition?

Sometimes the things that we do for others, costs us something. We grow up in a society with the slogan that "Time is Money", and while it is true, it isn't always the focus; or, at least it shouldn't be. I'm certainly not saying that there isn't anything that we should be paid for. Of course there is. I had someone make a comment to me the other day when I was asked to do something that someone else gets paid to do. Mind you, I already fixed this something once before out in the rain. They made the remark about that I should just "do it unto the Lord". I feel about that like I do when someone who's treating you wrong, but they want to add in the part about you should be more understanding because your a Christian.

I don't really know where all of that came from, but there you go. You'll just have to forgive me. There are people nearly everywhere you look, who are hurting and just need to know they are loved and they matter. Depression is real. Spiritual attacks are real. That even goes for those who may not even believe in God, Jesus, or Holy Spirit. Just because you don't believe in Satan and Hell, doesn't mean that he doesn't believe in you.

This post is probably all over the place, but my point is this: please check on others. Take a minute or 10 to see how others are doing. Talk to people that are put in your path each day. Let them know they matter to you. As Christians, we are called to love our neighbor. I can say that more times than not, when I have set out to be a blessing to others, I have generally been the one blessed in return. Like I said, check on others and see if they need help. You will be amazed how much just that little act of kindness can make a world of difference in their life.

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I want to share a story with you about something that recently happened. Out of respect and privacy for the persons involved, I will not share personal details of who it concerns. As soon of you know, I work at an alcohol/drug addiction recovery facility. Without sharing some of the information of who this involves, it does take away from the miracle of the story, but I just hope that you all can appreciate how moving it truly is.

So, I have known a certain individual for some years now, although we have only recently become closer due to a collaboration, if you will. We began talking about our jobs and all. I have only been at my current for nearly 5 months now, which has been a blessing. My friend had never heard of S2L until we had talked a little about it. He had shared with me some information concerning a dear loved one of his who has been dealing with addiction for a few years now. He shared that this addiction has nearly ruined the individuals life and deeply hurt others around them. While reading the details that I don't really feel like I can share on here, I was deeply moved.

One of the great things about our FATHER is the way that HE is moving in the shadows and the background without us even knowing it at times. God lines up people and opportunities for things that we don't even recognize at times. Like I said, an opportunity had presented itself for me to reach out to this guy and I just thought it was about the "collaboration" we are involved in. While it has been a joy to become closer to my friend, there was something so much bigger than just what we are working on. I began pondering on what my friend had shared with me, and I could hear Holy Spirit one night at work saying something to me. He was like, "you thought it was just about what you two are working on currently, but I had a bigger purpose for this connection".

I believe God knew we would be here in this moment a few years ago, and He lined all of this up, "for such a time as this". Ever since I had this vision for this page and the name for it, God has just continued to confirm the importance for its purpose. Up until the beginning of November 2025, I don't know that I myself had heard of S2L, but I know that God led me to this place.

I want to share something else real quick. Just a little definition concerning what "For such a time as this" meaning is and a little background. "For such a time as this" originates from Esther 4:14 in the Bible, meaning a person is placed in a specific position, place, or time by divine providence to fulfill a critical purpose. It implies that current challenges, talents, and opportunities are orchestrated to bring about needed change or deliverance.

Understand that I am in no way bragging on myself, because it was God who gave me the opportunity to be here in the first place. I did answer His call in placing me here, but it was His will and call in my life. I have been blessed and received much revelation while being here and ministering to others. Through that, Holy Spirit has shown me things and answered things in my life that I hadn't seen before.

I just encourage you to follow God and go where He has your steps prepared in life. It doesn't mean that everything will be easy, but it is definitely rewarding.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I was having a discussion with someone today and we got into talking about being convicted by Holy Spirit. I mentioned how funny "conviction" and "condemnation" are sometimes seen as being interchangeable, but in actuality, they're completely different. I said, condemnation is a lie used by Satan to try and convince us that we are just a failure; while conviction is God's way of calling us out of our sin, and calling us higher to where He knows we need to be.

We live in a world where everything happens in the blink of an eye. One day you're meeting someone for the first time, then they're gone from your life before you know it. We follow what we think are our dreams, to only find out later, it was just something that we thought we wanted to do, or wanted to be. In reality, we never consulted with God on what He had planned for us. Sometimes we look around and wonder why we're not getting traction and moving, only to realize we're like the Israelites wondering around in the desert because we're really afraid of following God's plan and direction.
Maybe I shouldn't be on my second cup of coffee so early this morning. Lol. I see and hear so many people being negative and downright hateful to others for no reason at all. I'm sure someone will find fault in this post and that's okay, if they so choose to do so. The only person we are responsible for at the end of the day, is ourselves. We teach our kids to respect others, and show grace to one another. We try to live as an example that is worthy of following, but yet, sometimes we mess up. Sometimes we miss the mark. It is NOT a shocker to GOD. He doesn't fall off His throne when we mess up, no matter what the situation is.
Let us be a people who lifts up one another. Let us be a people that others look at and wonder what is up with us. Not so we can be in the spotlight for ourselves. Let us be the salt and light in the world that draws the hearts of men and women to the reality that we know. Let us be Godly Christ following examples to those who do not know Christ as their Redeemer and Giver of salvation. The time is now. The time is right now to share the love of God with others.
If you're one who says they want to do something positive in this world, but you aren't sure what; JUST START. No matter what it is, JUST START. Sharing the Gospel is an Action. Being a listener, is an Action. Lending a helping hand to your neighbor, is an Action. You start moving, and Holy Spirit will guide you. Be a voice of encouragement to someone you see about your daily life. It doesn't even have to be anything big for it to make an impact in someone's life. More than likely, what you do for someone, it will be the very thing they have been praying about just to help them out with their faith. All God needs, is someone who is willing to go. "Here I am Lord, send me."

Let us not forget to be a source of encouragement to everyone we encounter throughout the day. Walking in fellowship with one another is uplifting within itself. We were made for fellowship with not only others, but for fellowship with God the Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit every single day. Let us not forget as well that God is the reason for our existence. Be encouraged knowing that we all were created for a purpose. We were created to have a relationship with God, but also to do the will of the Father and spread the Good News of the Gospel. God has been and continues to be so good and merciful to us. Let us continuously share that testimony to others we meet, the goodness of God.

Hello my fellow brothers and friends. I just wanted to share with you some things. Be encouraged when you face hardships and are ridiculed for your faith, because we know that Jesus Himself also faced opposition, even from those in the church. It can sometimes be uncomfortable to go against certain people or the world when it comes to sharing the Gospel. Who am I fooling? It's hard enough at times just to live in the "world" without sharing the Gospel.

I recently joined in on some friendly fun activity that seemed like it would be fun...to begin with. I noticed some of the answers and content were not really "family friendly". Still, I finished the game we were playing. The next day, I figured I would give it another try. The first night, I came in last place out of six people. I had asked during the game, was there a family friendly setting to the game. I was told that it was a family friendly game, but the answers they were putting in, caused it to be the way that it was.

The next night, like I said, I figured I would give it one more shot. I noticed that the only way to really get a good score, was to come up with some really crazy answers. The object of the game, is everyone enters an answer to the prompt, then, everyone gets a chance to vote on the answer they like best. So, I knew that if I wanted to win, I was going to have to come up with some pretty crazy answers, without getting to worldly. I'll tell you that I came in first place in the game, but in my spirit, I didn't feel like a winner.

Later that night, as I was reflecting on what had happened, I was reminded of the scripture I knew about and not being conformed to the world. I then made up my mind to not partake in that again, simply because I did not want to go back from where I came.

We think about the past sometimes and see how far God has removed us from our past life and old man. It is really a miracle that we are where we are, because I know that there's no way I would be where I am right now, without the grace of God. It can sometimes be easy to step backwards in our walk if we allow ourselves to try and fit in with the crowd. But it is more honorable to be able to say, "I'm not going back to that place anymore".

I'm not going to make this a real lengthy post, but I will say this: God is not surprised if we fall into temptation. He isn't searching for a Plan B, or wondering what He is going to do. I am grateful that God is the God Who is in control and has a hand on everything in my life. I'm glad that He is able to use any mistake that I make and use it for good.

Be encouraged and keep pressing on in Christ Jesus, for He is the answer to all of our prayers, and desires. Stay in God's Word and continually stay in fellowship with Him. I encourage you also to stay in fellowship with those who build you up in Jesus and the things of God. Until next time, I love you and stay safe. God bless.

I just went outside a few minutes ago and it is STILL snowing. Now according to the weather app, it wasn't supposed to be snowing tonight after about 6:30 pm or so, and it was only supposed to snow maybe an hour or so before that. Last night, we got snow when we were not supposed to as well. There is one thing that is for sure; weather is so unpredictable at times. One thing that isn't unpredictable is God. Now we may not know what or when He's going to do something, but we know that He is always with us. We can be sure that He will always guide our path, as long as we stay with Him. It can be very easy to loose site of what God is doing in our lives with all of the distractions in this world.

I have tried inviting several others to this group. I do have to apologize for the lack of posts I have made since starting this page. Honestly, I think my expectations for this group were higher right from the start when I first created it than maybe what they should have been. It was started with the intent to be an all men's group, but I have wondered if that should be changed as well. As with the group, I have been feeling led to start a podcast with the same title of this page, and as an extension of this mission.

I had made a post a while back about some news that was coming, and that was the news. So, I am hoping to have that going very soon. I do have a friend whose brain I have been picking in order to get the podcast started with hopefully very few hiccups as possible. Just to give you all a little insight about the content, I plan on doing some one on one interviews with various people as I can get them available. As with this group, the podcast will be content to bring encouragement and building up listeners in Christ. We could cover a wide array of topics.

As some of you know, I am working as a Residential Leader/Recovery Coach at S2L. Because I am limited by HIPAA on what I can talk about concerning S2L, I will just say that this is a ministry that God is using to change the lives of men and women in some of their darkest times. I am so excited to see the work that He is doing in these lives. There are so many people that are struggling with different issues in this world, and this podcast and page is to be a guiding light in that darkness. We as Christians, are called to be the light of the world.

I look forward to the many great things that we can do in the hearts of men by building each other up, instead of tearing one another down. Lets us pray for one another as believers, for the world tears us down enough, without us doing that to our brothers. God bless you all.

I had a nudge from Holy Spirit to talk about something today on here. It's dealing with praying for our children. I can honestly say that it works and that God is faithful. One of the biggest reasons we should pray over our children is because, if we don't or won't, who's to say that anyone else will. Is it easy to give up on things sometimes? Absolutely it is. We get tired and sometimes we need a break. What's scary and even sad is when people take a break and just never pick it back up.

If you have given up on your child(ren), I encourage you right now to get back in the fight for them. I get it. Sometimes we get hurt by the ones we love more than we would by a complete stranger. Sometimes forgiveness can be hard for people. Sometimes it does take time to heal, but don't lose hope. Sometimes, the hope that we have for our children is the only hope that they see.

I was thinking about the love that the father had for the prodigal son. Some people say that the son somewhat disowned the father by asking for his inheritance and leaving like that. Others say that wasn't the case, but that the son just wanted to go out and live his life (I just had another revelation). Regardless, we see that the father never stopped hoping the best for his son. He never stopped looking for his return back home. Even when the son was out "living it up", his daddy never stopped loving him. We see that the father didn't force his son to stay, but he didn't forget about him either.

The revelation was that when we "leave home" or leave the Father, we do so willingly accepting any circumstances that may come from it. It doesn't mean that Holy Spirit isn't with us, but the farther we get "into the world", the louder the world becomes and the less we hear from the Father. Also, the less we may feel the prayers from our parents over us.

Anyway, don't lose hope in the future of your children. Don't lose hope that they will return to you and to God. I'm so glad that He never stops loving us, or calling us back to Him when we stray. I'm so glad that He never gives up hope for us. I'm so glad that I never gave up praying over my son, as well as my other children.

Lives can be transformed and deliverance is still real. The power of prayer is very alive and real in this world. Isn't it awesome how prayer can cross over from the supernatural to the natural and vice versa? Not many things can do that, but we can have a very real and personal relationship with the Trinity and there's nothing better than that. We are blessed to have family, friends and loved ones here on earth but, we are even greater blessed if those family, friends and loved ones are praying the Word over us on our behalf.

If you have a child who has done you wrong, don't give up on them. If they're reaching out to you because they want forgiveness, please don't turn them away. If we can't show our kids unconditional love and forgiveness in the natural, how are they going to believe their Father in Heaven offers forgiveness that's even greater than ours? If you have ever had a child who struggled with things for a very long time and finally came back to God, and told you they could feel your prayers, that's some really good stuff right there. Prayer changes things. It changes people's hearts. It changes people's minds, and it changes relationships. I don't see how it could ever be "too late" for a parent/child relationship to be mended. I'm certainly glad that my Father feels the same way.

God bless everyone.

While I was roofing my house last week, Holy Spirit gave me something. He stirred something inside of me based on a conversation I was having with a few people the day before. I was going to message this individual and just give them this word of encouragement. As I was pondering on all of this, Holy Spirit said, "That's not for her. It's for her husband". I was like oh, and WOW.

I shared with the husband this word of encouragement and a little bit of this I will reveal here without getting to personal. Now, if this individual doesn't mind my sharing more of the word of encouragement, I will gladly do so. Part of what I said was that we as men, don't typically share with one another an issue, or encourage one another and I get it. We tend not to do this because we feel like we're becoming to sensitive or to vulnerable. I think that's exactly what Christ wants from us. How can we encourage or uplift our friends and brothers in Christ without doing so? And so, this is the reason behind creating this page. I thought for a day or two on what it should be called. The title, "For such a time as this" came to mind. I thought it was quite fitting seeming as how the whole idea of this page was impressed upon me.

I feel like the point of this group is to give not just me, but anyone in it, the opportunity to share a word of encouragement, gratitude, or just whatever God lays upon your heart to share, whether that be to someone individually or as a group. I really look forward to us being able to help our brothers out in anyway possible through this ministry. Thank you all, and I love you all. God bless and enjoy.
