You can’t directly see gravity, but you know and believe it exists because of what you’ve experienced. I can’t see God, but I know and believe He exists because of what I’ve experienced.

Have you ever been loved unconditionally? Have you ever been loved despite your failures, weaknesses, past, circumstances, decisions, actions, the things you consider to be flaws and the things you lack in? Have someone loved you so much that the only you they see is the you that you have the potential to be, the you you can't see yourself as 'cause you've been broken and hit so many times by life? Have you been loved by someone who looks at you and see's a version of you that's beyond your self expectations? Have you ever been loved so much that no matter how much you disappoint, fail, go against, ignore or forsake this person they still love you and welcome you back in with an unchanging unconditional love? Have you ever been lifted out of depression, hurt, pain, brokenness, hopelessness, stress, confusion, sadness and despair with a warmth of a love that never gives up? I have! It's the greatest feeling ever in the world to know that someone loves you more than anyone you know. It's beautiful to feel special and like you mean something. It's even more wonderful when that person finds little ol' you to be more precious than the moon and the stars, to the point where they would grace you with the warmth of their love and presence despite how you've treated them. Sometimes the selfish part of me doesn't want to share this love. I want it all to myself, but tonight I want to let my facebook friends and acquaintances know that I've searched for love in people, places and things for years....and it's not because my family wasn't giving it to me, but rather my whole being yearned for a love that they could never give me. A love that people, places and things don't contain to give out. This love I experience daily is found in none other than God. He's real and his love is filling, beautiful and always on time. It's the true form of ecstasy...complete bliss, like basking under the warmth of harmless rays or voluntarily diving into depths of the ocean.

The iLead Escape Conference has been a spiritual vacation. I came not knowing why God placed it upon me to come. I'm leaving knowing exactly why. I didn't know it before, but I NEEDED THIS!!! I feel beyond refreshed, rejuvenated and revived. My desperation for Jesus has been restored. Freedom is reigning in me! I feel so energized like I'm connected to this high voltage...like an energizer bunny that can just keep going and going! I'm grateful to God for giving Tasha Cobbs this vision 'cause the Spirit of God was increasingly reigning heavy in that place for these past few days to the point where miracles occurred, people were healed and delivered and captives were set free. I've been begging God to bless me with a place to escape to get away from the world and struggles,to step out of time and spend time with Him and this was it. His glory was overwhelming! It has been THE perfect escape. The BEST VACATION EVER!!! It was better than Disney World and Universal Studios combined (If you know me well, you know I love those two places A LOT!!!). Thank you Abba for your presence, which will eternally be better than Mangos (AKA my favorite food in the entire world). It was so great to see these Christian artists I listen to be raw, exposed and real with their imperfections. I'm going to stop taking now and just sign off with God is real, let Him reign in your life, He loves you more than words can explain. You won't regret accepting Jesus as your Lord and savior. It has been the greatest decision of my life for the past 7 going on 8 years.
The Perfect Escape, 1 Foreign Princess
Reasons why I don't like The Young Messiah OR Risen movie:
One, it’s not 100% based on scripture. The Bible does not go into detail about the childhood of Jesus. There’s only one moment of Jesus childhood, other than the moments after his birth, that’s described (Luke 2:41-52). Like the Risen Movie, The Young Messiah movie is mostly based on assumption. Two, the main argument “Christians” make for supporting it is the hope and belief that these movies will lead people to Jesus, which is a great motive, BUT using bits and pieces of the truth mixed in with mostly lies, doesn’t make something truthful or right. The truth contains only truth and has no room for falsehood. Why use something that isn’t completely truthful to bring people to Christ? Are the Words inspired by God not enough to do that? Why not make “biblical” movies completely based on what the scriptures say, instead of wasting money on something that isn’t 100% factual or biblical? Using something partially truthful to lead people to Christ is like someone telling a blind man they’re selling mango’s only for the blind man to buy it, eat it and later find out that he bought and ate a mango that was injected with additives and unnecessary chemicals…IF you truly believe the Gospel is enough, you wouldn’t need to add onto the life of Christ in order to lead people to Him. The WhatAboutJesus website speaks on the little we recieve about Jesus childhood by saying, “ We might wish we had more. That’s when it’s good to remember that the Bible wasn’t given to us so that we could know every detail of Jesus’ life on this earth. It was given to us that we might be, as Paul once wrote to Timothy, “wise unto salvation.” That’s a shorthand way of saying the Bible tells us exactly what we need to know about Jesus in order to believe in him and be saved”. the same could said about the the inspiration of the Risen Movie in relation to the specific details of what occurred in the lives of people after they found the tomb of Christ empty. Let’s use our money along with our skills to spread the Gospel that was inspired by Christ Himself, and do what we were called to (Mark 16:15). People need the truth not a false/assumed version of what “could’ve” happened (2 Timothy 4:1-5, 2 Peter 2:1-3, 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Galatians 1:6-10 says, “I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.”
I have this beauty on my bookshelf. It's a reminder that I can do anything I desire if I have faith and believe. The Bible says in Matthew 21:22, "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive" (KJV).
I'm so glad I had a snow day and no work. It granted me time with God. I feel so blessed, nourished, refreshed, renew and revived with what I learned and received from the Word of God. It is truly living and active. There's so much to learn and gain in Gods Word. It has me feeling brand new lol. You know that feeling you get when you on fleek from makeup to outfit lol and you about go out with your girls and have a night of selfie overload, that's how the Word got me feeling...it has my Spirit on fleek lol
Do you want what the world has to offer or what God has to offer? You can't have both. And the longer it takes you realize that what the world has to offer is temporary and valueless, but what God has to offer is eternal and priceless, the longer you'll miss out on your purpose. I should know, that's why it took me 21 years to finally willing walk in my calling

I use to be on the look out for the one God created for me, but the more I spend time with God the more I realize I don't need to go looking out for this guy. God already created him to be with me. All I need to do is focus on God and while I do that, at some point this guy and I will cross paths on our journey toward heaven. So my advise, let God write your love story, while you focus on your love story with Him (Him being God).

Only God can transform us to love Him more and seek Him more all we have to do is desire that more than our current status

I've been away for sometime because I've been dealing with my spirituality. I've been struggling to give God full control of every aspect of my life. I've been struggling to let Him be in control...to let Him be first...be TOP priority. This has been a prayer of mine for a while now and He finally gave me the strength and willpower to let Him lead. Now that I think about it, He probably wanted to me to realize I can't change in my own strength. I need an extra hand to release my control and that extra hand is His. And honestly, life is better when Jesus is in the driver seat, when the Holy Spirit is guiding you like a GPS and God is making the path for your life. The road isn't smooth. There are bumps and potholes. There are obstacles. BUT There's hope, a divine purpose and peace. A kind of peace that passes all understanding.... A peace that'll help you trust the path maker, the GPS and the driver despite the rough ride. And amidst it all, your zeal for kingdom cause will have a foundation to grow upon. Like me, you'll be given this passion and new found appreciation for kingdom cause and God in general. See, this change didn't make my life perfect and it didn't cleanse every filthy part of me, it just opened my eyes to the beauty in the journey. It has increased my desire and faith in God. It has made me feel purposeful. It has given me the focus of a dove and I'm glad I finally let go and LET GOD!

What is truth?...if something is true then all of it is true. If something isn't true then none of it is true. So, as a Christian, I believe and proclaim that the Word of God is truth. My claim means I believe that ALL of it is true, even the parts I don't comprehend or don't currently feel comfortable agreeing with. Why? "There aren't degrees of truth". #openyourbible #shereadstruth #devotional #kristenschmucker #pens #highlighters #daughteroftheking👑 #thebibleistruth
The year is almost over and 2016 has caused me to taste and see the goodness of God, from helping me keep my job, to spiritual progressions, figuring out my purpose, to protecting my mother during an electrical fire to providing for us all that was lost in that fire. I just pray to be devoted to God, walk in my purpose, have faith and full heartedly trust God next year. May it be a year of focusing on God and removing myself from the picture as He transforms me to be more like Him and less than the person the world wants me to be!

Why I love God: He never gives up on me. He never stops checking up on me. He never ceases to graciously redirect my steps. No matter what He always find a way to bring me back with welcoming arms. I’m not perfect. Matter of fact, I fail Him daily, but His love has remained. I know that I don’t deserve it, but I’m grateful to receive such a love. He’s my best friend and I don’t want a life without Him. I don’t want a life separate from Him. I need Him. He’s my hope. He’s my home.

Every time life tries to pull me away from God, He pulls me in with warmest embrace…God, You will always be the best part of my life
Foreign Princess, 11/15/15
Ever since God gave this gift I've felt like everyone is watching me and since then I've screw up more than ever an dI've backed myself into the shadow as I placed my gift on a shelf far from me in an ungrateful state. I regret that. I regret being ungrateful toward God. I get it now an dI love my gift, it's just that all my life I've lived in fear of rejection, always trying to blend and fit in. Always playing a wallflower, so when God called me to speak to His people, the light was frightening because I assumed I was on stage, but it was always God. He was on stage, the only part of me that was present was my voice, but I get it now, well at least I hope I do. I pray to have the strength and endurance of Jeremiah, in order to fulfill the will and work of God despite the continence of the worlds face

If there's one thing life has taught me is it's easier to help others than it is to help oneself. It's easier to give out advice, than to take your own.

Today God told me to focus on Him. He automatically knew response and the thoughts I had in my heart before I presented them, so He added that he would take care of the specific things that troubled me. this is where we are in our relationship. Though I choose myself and the world over Him, He always seems to put me first and redirect my steps. I pray to put Him first and obey His desires for my life
