Standing In Awe of God

 Family, 

There is a wise saying amongst my friends and I - no God, no Jesus...know God, know Jesus. 

Seek Him with me. I am standing in awe of God for He is all powerful and today is a day only He made and only He knows what will happen in it! Do you know what it is like to embrace the power of God? It was 4:00AM and cloudy outside, the rain was falling and God was waiting on me to wake up and meet with Him. This time I did not hit the snooze, go to the bathroom, or get on my phone. I sat up and said yes Lord, here I am. He began to speak and what I heard was this biblical truth. Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned and saw under the sun that, The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.

Well what do you know...until you realize there is a power beyond belief, a peace that surpasses understanding, and a truth that creates; you will miss the beauty of God’s holiness. He inspired Solomon to record this truth explaining that under the sun things aren’t given to those of selected speed, strength, wisdom, understanding, or skills but time and  chance happens to them all.

This is what I like to call early morning praise. It doesn't matter who you are, if there is a possibility of something happening, then that chance will come and that is a fact. Interesting enough, we all have something or someone who comes into our lives and they are used by  God with boldness to help us see what we may be missing. It may not be what we want to hear at the time, but if we read what Solomon wrote we will take a seat and realize we don’t know it all and that there is nothing new under the Sun.

If you are in awe of Him today, comment. 

Love your sister in Christ, 
Latoya

It's Not Over

Family,  Please forgive my pause in posting. Every year around April, I fall into this habit of wanting to post on social media and update my blog. I am truly a creature of habit and I hope you can relate. I want you to remember social media will not keep you committed to this faith walk but Jesus will. In the meantime, I’ve been working on so many things. Two major ones are ministry (serving) and fellowship (in communication with the people). I have been in the faith full time, around the clock, nonstop work - “Turn Down For What!”All the while, praying, fasting, and watching the power of God save souls, heal hearts, minds, and bodies. I have witnessed miracles performed like a cancer diagnosis turning to nothing. Family, some real things happen when Jesus is at the center of it all. When we have faith (believing in the unseen) you work differently and you go places that many will say, “I am not too sure about this.” This time has reminded me that our gifts do make room for us as ...

Love Until it hurts, Love until it works!

By
  Family,  There is a song by Foreigner called “I Want To Know What Love Is.” I remember asking the Lord the very same question. Then, Christ came into my heart and revealed that in order to know Love (in the form of God), I had to know Sacrifice (in the form of Christ). When I began to discover that it was an act of love that saved  my soul from a place of despair, it was unbelievable. It takes wisdom to know what love is and what love did and continues to do. 1 Corinthians 13 explains it all. But I want to focus on one verse in that book 1 Corinthians 13:8a Love never fails.  Do you ever wonder why Love gets a bad rap? I have heard so many references to love, like it’s blind, it’s mean, it’s rude, it doesn’t exist, or  it’s impossible. However, none of those statements tell the truth about what love is but rather expresses an emotion someone felt after someone said “I love you.” Until I read the Bible and gained insight that God is love (see 1 John 4:8 ), hear...
