God is Able
Hi there! I am still going through my testing period, and can gladly say I am “BLESSED”! I found myself praying with joy in my heart in the middle of the night.. nothing new these days. My sister woke up in the night and I heard her blaspheming the enemy down the hall... I was in the middle of my praise session. See when the enemy’s struggle is futile, he will pull out every arsenal to attempt to discourage you. But when you know that God has given you the victory, you just hold on, and sing His praises even louder.
A few encouraging verses:
Psalm 61:1-4 (NIV)
Psalm 139 (NIV)
Heb. 4: 12-13 (NIV) (you can read down to verse 16 or read the entire chapter if you’d like) 1 Peter 4:12 (NIV)
Galations 5:22 (NIV)
The Invisible Enemy Pt. 2
Now where was I... alright. So the Monday evening after the monitor incident when my sister returned home from work, I decided it was time for a conversation. After she got in and showered and was having her tea, I told her we needed to talk and asked her to get her phone. She immediately started to panic.. I relaxed her and told her to calm down we just needed to chat and so we did. I think she delayed saying anything because she thought I wouldn't believe her and at the same time she’s asking me why I didn’t say anything... my response.. I told you if there was something bothering you to talk to me on multiple occasions. Any way, we had a good long chat and decided to fight this attack together and that we have been doing. We have been having devotions and praying together every night and saying the warfare prayer every morning and night for two weeks, in addition to reading it during the day when we felt like we were under attack. We haven’t slept much in the past few weeks, with the exception of perhaps last night where we both got some sleep. When she slept, i was awake for most of the night in a spiritual battle and vice versa, and the same was true for her. At other times, we both didn’t sleep and were battling with the help of the Holy Spirit no doubt. We armored ourselves in prayer every single day and night and rebuked Satan and his demons.. it felt like there was a different thing every night. We are still facing attacks, but we don’t cower, we will not be discouraged! We stand and battle, putting on the whole armor of God. God doesn’t leave you to stand on your own when you are in a battle my dear Christian, He prepares you and helps you every step of the way. No weapon formed against me shall prosper, none. The promises of God are sprinkled through the Bible... go read the book of Psalms, Isaiah 54: 14-17, Romans 8:28, Hebrews 4:14-16, just to name a few.
Anyway, the following night the Tuesday night was a night I will never forget that last Tuesday in July!! We went to bed, prayed, covered ourselves with the blood of Jesus and prepared for bed and battle, at some point during the night, somewhere close to 1am, the Holy Spirit woke me to pray and so I did! Before going to bed, my sister said we should get up at midnight to pray, but I told her, the Holy Spirit would rouse us and so we did as normal and played down. Any way, when I was roused to pray, I figured she was still asleep and decided not to wake her and pray I did. I called out the name of the enemies (the tenants) in my prayer and put them before the Lord that much I remember.. and earnestly prayed to the Lord my God. Just as I was ending my prayer, my sister woke up and begun to pray and I laid there singing the praises of my heavenly Father.. As I noticed my sister like she was about to kneel, I heard a loud groan coming from the floor beneath me. An eerie sound, loud enough to rouse me... the Holy Spirit had me up in fight mode, I sprang up on my knees in the bed as if I had pounced on the person’s chest and began to scream out at the top of my lungs “GET OUT!! GET OUT!! I rebuke you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!! The blood of Jesus is against you and your bloodline...” that much I remember. And I was going off at the top of my lungs for how long I don’t know and my sister started in with me. She did not hear what I heard, she said she felt an evil energy stirring beneath her when she was on the floor! And we went on. I was on fire, she was on fire and we were completely washed in sweat. I cannot remember much of anything that I said, but I know this didn’t happen in and of myself and I give all credit to the Heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit that He sent to in dwell His people.
He promised me victory and the victory has been won and He gets all the glory and the honor. My sister looked at the time and said it was about 1:30. We laid back down and then just as we began to settle down she yelled out and we were engaged in another spiritual battle. She said she something like a dark cloud on the roof and it was as if he wrote the name “Lucifer” and then sulphur. I laughed and said, he’s calling for help. There is no help for the wicked. Psalm 34:15-16 (NIV) “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are attentive to their cry; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth.” You can also read 1 Peter 3:12 which repeats those verses almost verbatim.
The battle is not over yet, we are still under attack from the Adversary, but we are standing on the promises of God and claiming His victory and are joyous. There are various attacks... to us, it is loud popping sounds in my fan or the television. Yesterday I heard the fridge make a loud popping sound and I simply said out loud “I’m ready for the fight!” We wondered if it was simply an electrical surge, but the lights didn’t flicker. I know as a child of God I will always be under some form of attack, but know this, I am not discouraged and I am not giving up! Jesus knows what we are going through... if you look at Matthew 4:1-11(NIV), you will read where Jesus was tempted by the devil after fasting for 40 days and 40 nights and He rebuked the devil. And then if you read Hebrews 4:15(NIV) which says “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are -- yet He did not sin.”
I can only encourage you to stand firm and stay with God if you are currently serving Him. The body of Christ is under attack right now in every way, shape and form, even more than ever. But I want to encourage you to stay with God, because what He has in store for you is far better than anything the world has to offer. It can get real tough and discouragement and fear will come flying at you from every angle, but you aren’t alone in the battle. You may feel like you are, but you are not. The Lord has equipped you with everything you need to get through and be victorious in your battle! If you aren’t serving the Lord and you have been feeling that tug in your heart, that the Lord is calling you.. then I would suggest you listen to that voice, listen to that call. He loves you and His is calling you to Him. The battles we face are minor in comparison to the joys and blessings that He has in store for us.
I for one, am going no where.. like I said, the Lord gave the enemy permission to test me. And the size of this attack is simply a testament to the size of the blessing that is coming!! Amen!! So right now, I am anxiously waiting to see what the Lord is going to do, what He will bring about. Because all this that is taking place is simply pushing me into my destiny and closer to the Lord, my God, my Savior and my Redeemer. I am a young woman serving Christ and there is no where else I would rather be than in the arms of my Savior. He is my rock, my fortress, my refuge, my strength. And I thank Him for He is working all things together for my good and surely my enemies will know that the Lord my God has done all this! Amen.
Be blessed and stand the course. Our God is able!
The Invisible Enemy
Some might think this is a bunch of hoopla... quite frankly, I myself would have rolled my eye a few weeks ago, but to see/experience it is a whole different thing. So in short, this article is my testimony. I am not quite sure if my test is yet complete, but I am starting to rehash - think about - the happenings of the past two months (almost). Prepare yourselves. A college friend of mine who re-entered my life recently, referred to this as supernatural beings as we had a discussion - not about what you are about to read. This isn’t the God debate, this is simply my story, you can either choose to believe it or not. God is REAL, there is no need to debate about His existence.
I am a Christian. I believe that God the Father sent His Son Jesus Christ into this world born of a virgin (Mary) who was crucified on the cross to save humanity from their sins. Read John 3:16-18 (NIV). Okay, that said... my sister and I have been having some issues tenants who have been creating all kinds of problems to their own chagrin, so I got tired of all the crap and decided to simply pray them out. My God can do ALL things, so instead of going low, I decided to call upon a Pastor friend to pray about the situation. I already noticed that something had been bothering my sister for a while, but she hadn’t really discussed them with me. I simply observed and just kept an ear and an eye out. Then one night, after prayer meeting - I watch the services online as the pandemic is still on going... - time frame of these happenings some time in June and now today it’s August 13th 2020 -- so one night after prayer meeting, I heard sounds of walking in my apartment. Sounded like 2 separate sets of footsteps. To back up a bit, i had observed sounds of walking before and subtle movement like there was something present in the house, but dismissed it thinking I was hearing the people downstairs moving around. However, i was very much on guard this feels different and weird. So this particular night, the tenants left to go for a walk and returned and I heard a strange sound coming from the corner above which they would have entered the house and then shortly after heavy steps in my hallway. Hmmm... okay. So I wrapped up my prayer meeting and sat there in the dark for a bit just meditating... and then when I got up and turned my back to pick up my laptop it was as if the footsteps were coming up on me and I just around as if I were scaring a person who was attempting to creep up on me to scare me, then the sound stopped and went away. I thought to myself, are they so intent on trying to take over like it’s their house that their spirits missed their door way and came up here sort of jokingly. But clearly this is a serious matter.
I didn’t speak to my sister about this then, but kept it in mind and remained alert. Within the next few weeks, stranger things began to develop and occur. Skipping forward, I decided to start staying up a bit later than usual, ‘cause whatever spirit is trying to take up residence in my house, it’s not going down like that!! Oh heck no!! So one night I am watching tv and i felt like something grazed my leg and then my arm - my skin crawled, goose bumps. I am not afraid, but ticked off... i moved my hand over the area and through gritted teeth, said “Get off of me!” stood up, opened the door and observed some one outside and told whatever it was to get out, not that I needed to open the door. Shook it off, then decided to go to bed.
The following night I smelled something like a faint smell of roach spray and when I went into the bathroom the smell was stronger, so I sprayed it out and the smell dissipated. I figure the tenants perhaps sprayed something and the smell came up through the bathroom vent. The following day, my sister and i went out and I could see there was something bothering her, so I spoke to her - not going into detail and told her is she needed to talk to let me know when we got back home. Just to encourage her to speak to me, but still not sharing what I had observed. I was expecting a package and hoped that it wouldn’t arrive until I got back home, so funny thing -- not “haha” funny -- as I was driving home I smelled the scent of roach spray rise up in the car... hmmm... strange. Upon arriving home and checking mail I noticed another package that was expected had been delivered and picked up by the suspect. So I put two and two together and figured that smell rose up when my package arrived and they took it up. Envy won’t get anyone anywhere. That night, I heard a constant walking up and down in the hallway.. restless spirit. I got so mad, i turned on the light in the hall way and the kitchen and rebuked the thing and ordered it to leave.
Next morning a Sunday, we got up early, and I went into my bedroom which I haven’t slept in in over a year, to find that my computer monitor was on. Strange, I haven’t used that computer in years, I don’t remember bumping it in a manner that would cause it to come on. I then tried to turn it off and could not get it off. Dismissing it, I took my sister to get a cut and came back tried again and failed to get it off. I left it and then later that day was able to turn it off.
Next morning, I walked into the room and as I reached up to open the window to allow a bit of air to pass through the room the monitor powers up!! I turn and looked at the monitor wide-eyed and ANGRY at this point. I just had my devotion and prayed up and clearly now this is war! I stood in front of the monitor, clenched my fist and prayed.. I just finished reading Psalm 91 and you mean the devil was showing me that he was attacking me!! Man listen!! I tried to turn the monitor off without any success... i said alright fine. I’ll be back! I went outside and watered my plants, then came back in and tried again without success, so I pulled the power cord and said “If you’re bad turn it back on!” and walked out of the room.
Needless to say - a few weeks back - I dreamt or was it a premonition? that a dark cloud was consuming me in my bed. I wasn’t afraid then and I was not afraid now. But what I was and am is angry. However, one thing I know for sure is that the Lord gave permission for this to happen or else it would not have happened.
I needed to speak to some one. Wanted to speak to my mother, but her pressure had been affecting her for a few days and I did not want sharing what had happened to ‘cause her pressure to start going up - it could affect her that way or not. I opted not to take the chance and it went up. Called my family friend who is a Pastor. He didn’t answer and took a while to call me back so I got on my knees and started to talk to my Heavenly Father. Who else could I turn? He is never late and He doesn’t delay. Amen.
While I was praying my friend called back, I told him what was going on and he sent me a warfare prayer and gave me some guidance. So I prayed up and felt the Holy Spirit decent upon me. I did as my friend suggested and went to war against my invisible enemy.
How do the tenants tie into this? That will unfold as I continue my tale. The man can’t look me in the face, he turned his back and passed me one morning without saying a word, another time as I was sitting with the door open their was an eerie, evil feeling that suddenly came over me, only to look out the door to see but none other than the suspect drive up. He was also around for the few days things got strange... he was the vessel the enemy used. I am not here to destroy any one’s character - these individuals are not people I want in my company much less in my home. I advised against renting to them and i knew something was up from the get go. Ever since these people moved in, my fish, who normally swam around whether or not some one was in the room were suddenly always hiding as soon as we entered the room. Very weird behaviour, I had them for 2 years in the tank and that hadn’t happened prior. Pay attention to your pets.
I am going to wrap this up here so as not to overwhelm you with the length. Look out for part 2. The story is still being written.
The Blessing of Unemployment
I haven’t been working for 2 years now.. and it was a huge personal struggle. I am skilled, I am hardworking, talented, dedicated and finding a new job wasn’t happening. After hearing a ton of “I’m sorry” will one day turn into an “it’s yours”... so I kept pushing and trying. Now, I’ve stopped. Not out of discouragement or frustration, but because I realize that God is trying to show me something. God has been using this time of unemployment to prepare me for something greater, and it has only recently dawned on me that this time has truly been an unexpected blessing to me. So Lord, thank You!!
When I got rolled off my project at the end of January 2018, I can honestly say I was not disappointed or surprised by the news, but I was sure going to miss my paycheck. I was burnt out and I mean BURNT OUT!! It would take a good part of a year for me to truly accept that. It was difficult for me to learn anything new, let alone practically retain what became the futile efforts to learn new languages or techniques. Interview after interview, I did good on them, often times (as I was told), being in the top two contender but not making the cut. I shrugged it off; disappointed temporarily of course, but my thought is it just wasn’t meant for me. Clearly not, if it was mine, I would have been awarded the position hook, line and sinker! The Lord knows best and does the best for His children, if we simply have faith and believe.
Now into my second year of unemployment, I am still taking an occasional glance at job ads, but not as fervently as last year. I have embraced an unknown ability in crafting handmade jewelry, which I sell on Etsy - https://khreativeliving.etsy.com. Wish I were getting more sales, hopefully with time that will improve. I have also been doing User Testing - critique the design or functionality of a web design or product that a company plans to launch as they seek feedback to see how well their offering works and improve upon it if necessary. I created an account on Upwork and Fiverr attempting to land a freelance project here and there... still nothing with those. Not for lack of trying. By no means am I giving up.... but I stepped back, because clearly the Lord is keeping me on the side lines for His own purpose. And I will gladly wait on Him.
Then the pandemic struck! Hmm... All things work together for good to them that love the Lord. I am still on my journey, creating jewelry pieces, performing User testing, attempting to snag a freelance client, listening to various talks on topics of interest - the most interesting has been a talk by Debbie Millman titled “A Brand Called You” and I have also viewed a class on Print Screening.. I must try it at least once! I’m a home grown gardener, and have become quite a healthy eater - less meat, more greens and legumes. Exercise is now a part of my normal routine and I’ll be happy to influence you too!
I had another article drafted, when i finally locate it, I’ll come back and share. Be well until next time.
Watching “On the Basis of Sex”
I smile, because quite honestly, though times have passed and we have supposedly progressed as a nation, there are still a number of people still facing the same issues that occurred back in the day. This woman speaks from experience. It’s 2020, is this ever going to truly change?
And I am her!

Creative Outlets!
In this crazy life we lead here on earth... I’ve been making notes of the little thoughts and quotes that pop in my mind, too bad I don’t think to grab my phone when an awesome one comes to mind, and it begins to slip away before I even realize. Writing it down is futile, once it slips, it’s gone like the wind.
How’s everyone doing? Hope all are doing well, or fairly well, as we approach the end of yet another month. Embracing all levels of creativity and yet again trying to figure out where I am going to land.. but instead of ‘trying’ in my own might, I am really praying and seeking God in His all encompassing majesty. For only HE and HE alone, can set me on the path to my destiny and I have to do the work to get there! My goal is to be fully surrendered to His will going forward. I’m going to fall, many times over most likely, however, discouragements won’t hold me back. I will get up again, dust myself off and leap forward. The only way you can ever know if you will ever succeed at something is to simply TRY! Prayer and faith!
I’ve recently uncovered something else I enjoy doing and seem to be fairly good at, but will allow you to be the judge of that. Over the past holiday season, instead of purchasing gifts, I opted to make my own gifts for folks with the exception of making one store-bought purchase for my sweet little niece (she got a mix of hand-made and store bought goodies. But the other folks on my list were endowed with handmade leather and jewelry. I really enjoy making jewelry pieces to the point where I’ve made quite a few and re-opened my Etsy shop! Please have a visit and you may use the coupon code “INSTA10” for an introductory 10% off your purchase if you are interested. Yes, it’s also a PLUG for my shop! Not limited to jewelry only, but I hope to expand with a line of cushions, cushion covers and other items in the near future. All items made by yours truly.
I try to get the best materials to assemble my pieces and therefore opt for Sterling Silver and Gold-filled materials, natural gemstones, glass beads and pearls. I’ve tested Gold-plated, but my desire to have these pieces become well-loved and well-worn pieces, the option is to choose materials that aren’t so readily susceptible to tarnish.
Jewelry making is now added to sewing, knitting, baking, cooking, gardening, lawn care. This isn’t just a hobby, it’s a serious side-hustle that I am trying to get off the ground.
Below is the “Sterling Silver Cable Chain Heart Be Charmed Necklace” which is available in my etsy shop.
