Transformation Tuesday - Ms. to Mrs. Edition

Transformation Tuesday – Ms. to Mrs. Edition

So as anyone that follows me on social media should know, I got married; we’ve gotten down to the nitty-gritty and it has been an extremely trying, growth promoting, and rewarding season all at once. Honestly, we’ve been through hell and back but with the guidance of the Lord, we have made it out of the fiery furnace unscathed and ready to approach our next challenge with eager hearts. This…

I spent many years idolizing marriage and thinking it would change something or give me the opportunity to fix my childhood; I literally jumped at every opportunity and the thought of an opportunity to get married. I can recall “sticking out” so many situations because I didn’t want to miss the “opportunity” that I had found myself with. It wasn’t until Joshua Oxendine came around when I said, “It’s nice that you like me and all but I refuse to date you, “talk to you”, or even allow myself to catch feelings for you. Oct. 21, 2017 (a few months after he expressed interest) the Lord gave me confirmation that this was the relationship I was supposed to be in and it only blossomed from there. Here we are 6 months later and I have a highly coveted ring that once meant opportunity in a different light to me, but thankfully, today, it means the opportunity to serve God with the man behind the ring for the rest of my life. I’ve been found by the one my soul loves. 🌿 #OxendineInGodsTime

You are altogether beautiful, my darling, beautiful in every way

The Recessional

Everyone always finds it odd when I silence myself and my smile has washed away. They think it’s out of character because “you’re never this quiet” but truth is, in suffering, Im never this loud. These smiles you expect have been preceded with 10 times as many tears and those tears preceded with life that was unapologetic in it’s actions to break me from the inside out. From molestation by a peer…

So my glasses finally came in the mail today from @firmoo_optical ! I have literally been like a child waiting on their letter, toy, etc. to come in the mail; as y’all know I’ve been cooped in the house because of my car accident but after tracking the package and seeing that it was out for delivery I hobbled my behind right to the mailbox in my moomoo and house shoes. 😂 These are my BOGO pairs that I posted about a couple weeks ago. I paid $35.84 for both pair; they are prescription with anti-scratch & anti-reflective/anti-radiation coatings. They even sent a little referral card to where anyone that uses the code gets 50%; the off ends Feb. 28th for anyone that wants to use it (Code: d4a2b). If anyone is interested in getting either of the two frames that I got the numbers are Clear: #DBSN62276 Tortoise: DBSN62342 I may post pictures of me in both pairs later on but for now you can just bask in my bomb product photography. 👓

Hiking 🍂 Today was awesome, so... I’m not sorry for the flood. (at Clark Park Nature Centre)

So we went for a hike through this park today! Aside from getting good exercise, we ran across this cross carved in this tree. It’s amazing how God can show up in many places through simple notions he places in people’s hearts. I hope that other passerbyers see it and it warms their heart just like it did mine. 🙏🏾⛪️ (at Clark Park Nature Centre)

“When your number one priority becomes your relationship with God, every other relationship falls into place.”💚 . . . It amazes me how easily this whole process went when I took my hand out of it and allowed God to put his hand in it. How when I stopped idolizing marriage in an effort to fix my broken childhood through getting my own husband and “doing it the right way,” God showed me the best way, which was through submitting myself whole heartedly to Him so he could make me the right woman for the right man. Now, here I am, being pushed closer and closer to God DAILY by the man he’s set before me, my promise of purity to God being honored (to the extent of us not even kissing) because that same man loves me and exhibits it through honoring my purity of heart and body, and walking completely in alignment with God and His will for my life. After prayer, fasting, and seeking God’s face, I’m finally in the right place. . . . #patienceisavirtue #itsabouttimeigotthisthingright

Matthew 5:11, “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.” 🔊

[rjoxendine]

See, the thing about heart transformations and deliverance is that you can see them and hear them from all facets; we all know that actions speak louder than words. Modesty is trivial and dressing in a way that reflects that desire in our lives from God isn’t either. God proves to us over and over again that love is an action followed by a profession. God said “if you love me, keep my commandments.” We profess to be children of God but stray so far from his commandments daily while only giving part-time lip service. I love God and I’m grateful BEYOND MEASURE for the changes that I was open to allowing God to make and I strive daily to show Him my love for him. I’m not the same person I was then, I’m not the same person I was a year ago, and I’m not the same person I was six months ago but I am allowing myself to be molded daily and hate you the kind of heart God so desperately needs us to maintain. A mailable one. #flashbackfriday #womanofGod #growth #modesty #lovingonGod
