my heart.

Its been a long while since I last wrote but my heart is yearning to spread my words to you all like an infectious DISEASE.

Recently God has stretched and pulled me in some new directions and I am grateful for this new season in my life.

God has laid it on my heart to burn my knees in prayer for you. YES YOU! If you opened this and are reading this, I want to pray for you.

-1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray continually

Send me a message or leave me a short comment and let me pray for you. Where ever you are, whatever stage of life your in, I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU!!

Leap of Faith

So I came across a verse that I have read dozens of times.

Luke 8:40-48 Where Jesus is walking through a crowd to get into a house and He raises a child from death. But on the way into this house, someone from the crowd touches Him. Jesus asks who touched him, and hesitantly the lady says it was her. Jesus responds,

' Daughter, you took a risk trusting in me, and now you are healed and whole. Live well, live blessed!' Luke 8:48 - The Message

I think what strikes me the most in this verse is when Jesus says, ' You took a risk in trusting in me.'

Jesus knew that it was hard for us to put our trust in Him. But after taking that leap of faith, he makes us clean & complete. It stirs me crazy to think our Savior knows how hard it is for us to trust in Him, but He still stays there waiting for us to jump into His arms.


Amazing aint it?

The Little Things in Life

So there's 3 extremely random little things that make me the happiest. I know once you read them your going to be like what in the world? But, they make me happy.

3. Buying new furniture - for some reason whenever I buy new furniture, I feel like a bran new person.
2. Buying SOCKS! - Remember that book in Elementary school, " The Washing Machine Ate my Socks"? well seriously my socks always disappear. So buying new socks fills a great big gap in my heart and in my sock drawer.
and last but certainly not least....DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....

1. BUYING SCHOOL SUPPLIES - Oh the joy of buying school/office supplies. For some reason, one that I am not aware of yet, I really really really enjoy buying school supplies. A good friend of my @Countrycuban says 'It's the start of a new beginning', but I definitely don't think it is something that intense.

So now that you know what makes my heart skip beats, what are you 'Little Things in Life'?

His Grace is enough.

My grace is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is made perfect in you.


---- 2 Corinthians 12:9





Whenever I hear this verse. I picture myself sitting in the audience of the church I attend (Flamingo Road Church), and I can hear the band singing, ' Your grace is sufficent for me,'





In my heart I feel God as He tells me there is nothing more to it then Him. He is all I need. In my mind I see His hand reaching for mine. And in that exact moment, in the few seconds after reading that verse, I don't feel so weak anymore. You know why? Because His grace is sufficient for me.

Mean Memory Machine

So I've been some what guilty of not keeping up with my blog. But here I am again, with some crazy things on my mind...

This is probably the most "Naked" post yet but here it goes.

Now most of you don't know this about me, some do, but for the most part, you don't.

Not so long ago, I was dating a guy, a guy which I had been dating since the sixth grade. Six long and painful years later, we broke up. Now that relationship had its ups and downs. Let me rewind to the beginning . He will remain as the 'unnamed'.

The 'unnamed' and I met in 6th grade, in the homeroom class of Mrs. Epstein at Miami Lakes Middle School. He sat in the desks across from me which made it hard to drop my pencil for him to pick up. Now while he was the school sports boy, I was the new girl with NO friends which made it even more difficult but hey, back in the middle school days... who cared??

Somewhere in the awkward times of middle school and high school, we dated. We dated and broke up, dated and broke up. Not once ever thinking about what this would do to our future. The 'unnamed' had been around for many things throughout the years such as birthdays, deaths, births, sickness, divorce, etc. Making it hard for him not to be my best friend. But at the same time, being so close so young, made things difficult. And so he found his ways out, as did I.

Needless to say months later, we'd be right back to where we started from. He cheated, I argued, I yelled, he'd leave the relationship. And the pain went on.

Fast forward a couple of years, I got to a point in my life where people kept leaving my life and if they weren't leaving, they were dying. It hurt, my heart fell apart, and it felt like I had nothing to depend on.

My grandpa who I adored died, the 'unnamed' broke up with me, my best friend of 8 years found her first boyfriend and abandoned our friendship, and my parents SPLIT. It was a rough time, and my heart needed much mending.

To kind of wrap up this long lost story, I just want to share, no matter how far you dig these kind of memories. NO matter how far you push them from your heart. One day, much like today, you're going to, as well as I am, going to have to come face to face to these memories.


I am reading a book When your past is hurting your present, I can say that reading it, and takig these memories and really trying to face them, has help me to realize I am an overcomer. In Christ, He has helped me to over come many of my fears.

Very thankful for my God.

What I NEEDED to read.

Today while I was working I decided to go onto bible gateway and read through Colossians and this is what I came across:

God has chosen you and made you his holy people. He loves you. So you should always clothe yourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.Bear with each other, and forgive each other. If someone does wrong to you, forgive that person because the Lord forgave you. Even more than all this, clothe yourself in love. Love is what holds you all together in perfect unity. Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking, because you were all called together in one body to have peace. Always be thankful Let the teaching of Christ live in you richly. Use all wisdom to teach and instruct each other by singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Everything you do or say should be done to obey Jesus your Lord. And in all you do, give thanks to God the Father through Jesus. (Colossians 3:12-17)

Clothe yourself in LOVE. Love is what holds all you together in UNITY. Love,Love,Love, LOVE!
Sometimes we just need to read something, we wake up and read scripture and it was something that we just NEEDED to hear. Man these are the things that God wants from us. To be completely kind,humble,patient,forgiving, LOVING, because we are ONE BODY together.

Embracing these qualities and working on them has been a constant battle but, as I continue to read through my bible, and see these challenges in more places, I know that in His timing, I will be a conqueror.

He Will Honor That.

So I been singing along with this Miley Cyrus song since yesterday and the words little by little continue to stick on me.

The chorus goes like this :

There's always going to be another mountain,
I'm always going to want to make it move.
always going to be an uphill battle,
sometimes I'm going to have to lose.
It ain't about how fast I get there.
It aint about whats waiting on the other side.
It's the CLIMB.

The more and more I listen to this song, I am remind of who we are to Jesus. As a human, I always see a problem and immediately I want to fix it on my own, just so that it gets done. But this song reminds me that He is with me, it isn't about how fast things get done, it isn't about how fast I resolve a problem, or how well I can get a dead-line, it's about the person I become within those trials, within those times of hurt and broken-ness.


"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: wait I say on the Lord".(Psalm 27:14)
