Do you ever feel like you are trying to lead a life of goodness and do what's right but you are constantly feeling attacked. It's not like you're doing it on purpose…not at all…but there is something deep down within you that is speaking and whispering negativity?
This has been happening to me a lot lately and the word Sabotage has continually been coming up. It wasn’t till today when I realized what God was trying to inform me. About a month ago or so, he whispered, Quit sabotaging your happiness. So anytime I would start to remotely fret over something, I would remind myself not to sabotage my own happiness. But unfortunately this has been a constant battle lately. It seems like the more I dig into God's word or into His presence the more I would feel attacked. This is certainly nothing anyone else has been doing or saying to me to even make me feel this way. So why was this happening to me? Why me I would ask. Then finally when I could not handle it anymore and I cried out to Jesus to help me…to release me. I am tired of living this way. I don’t want to do it no more. Please Lord, come inside me and wipe away all that is not right within me and to fill it with all your love, grace and happiness.
That is when I heard Him speak. My daughter, do not fret, for I am here with you. I will protect you no matter what. I will always be here for you. Do you not see that when you get closer to me, when you walk with me, Satan will try anything and everything to bring you back to his way, his life? Do not listen to him, listen to me. Continue to have faith in my ways. Continue to have hope in what I have in store for you. Continue to believe what I teach you and continue to stay close to me. For there will always be light on my path. There will always be goodness in my teachings. You will never have to feel guilt, shame, doubt or any form of insecurity when you are with me. Continue to hold my hand, continue to walk with me. I love you my daughter. You are and have always been special to me. So please do not let Satan sabotage your life. He is not worthy of your time or thoughts. He will only bring you saddness and doubt. Never will I wish that upon you.
So my daughter, give me your burdens. Hand them over to me. I have plans for you and Satan knows that. So now is the time that you must surrender it ALL to me. I will take this and I will deal with this. This is not for you to carry any longer. Free yourself from these thoughts, free yourself from this weight. You are washed clean and you are made new. Do not pick this back up….ever. Trust in me…Trust IN me. Trust ME.
As I sit here now with a renewed heart, lightened shoulders and peace in my soul…all I can say is…Thank you Lord, Thank You!!! I do not need to tell Him anything else, for He knows how I am feeling and what I am thinking. When we are facing a battle and we feel like we are being sabotaged, we must not try to take on this attack by ourselves. As much as we want to put on our battle gear, take this on ourselves and come out the winner, we need to remember that all we have to do is surrender….surrender not to Satan but surrender to Jesus and He will fight the battle and He will win the war for us….each and EVERY time.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for being my protector. Thank you for going to battle for me. I'm sorry that I try to do things on my own and not ask you for your help. I know now that all you ever wanted me to do was to lean on you and let you take control. Thank you for being my guide and please continue help me stay on your path and to always feel your presence in my life. I love you Father. Thank you!!!

Quit Sabotaging Your Happiness

Disturbed
Over the course of our lives we have gone through peeks and valleys of good times and bad. Its life’s natural roller coaster of highs and lows. Each of us have had many different experiences which in turn has created us to be who we are today. We all are created with a certain purpose. Our lives hold value and meaning. Throughout our journey we sometimes forget this and tend to dwell in a self centered pool. We will float along and want things to go our way or have things handed to us. Just a normal human tendency I suppose. Sometimes we are so excited about our lives, we want to share this with everyone and other times we are so disappointed with our lives we tend to pull back and hide. But once again, this is all in that swimming pool of our self centered lives.
With that being said, I have a question to ask you. Have you ever been disturbed? You know…you are doing something and someone comes along and interrupts you or stops you. Sometimes its a good thing…you needed a break and sometimes it just annoys you to be disturbed. The definition of Disturbed is having had its normal pattern or function disrupted. God likes to disturb us sometimes….when we get comfortable within our every day, day to day lifestyles, he will come along and disturb us. It’s his way of pushing us out of our norm. To push us to grow. If we were to stay in the same place all the time, how would be have the opportunity to become better. To be better.
So when you get disturbed sometimes, maybe you need to stop and listen a moment and hear what God is speaking. Of everything in this world, He is the one we need to be disturbed the most by.
Being disturbed out of our self centered lives helps us and reminds us of the bigger picture. Life truly isn’t about us…it’s about what is not us. Taking ourselves out of the equation and seeing what we can do to give back and offer others is one of the keys in a successful life. Remember that you get to experience what you bring to any relationship…..in all facets of life.
Psalm 43:5
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
Peace and luvs to ya.

Divine Romance
For you I sing I dance!!!!!
Gods splendor and grace is an amazing gift that we receive each and every day. Tho times may not be the best and we may be tested in our faith....He is there for us ALL each and everyday!!!
Lately life has not been easy for me. I often feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster ride. I have always known that life wouldn't be a piece of cake. In fact with my personal experiences I have known that trials and tribulations will always come upon us. I never knew the extent tho to how far deep down within yourself you will have to travel to really learn. Learn about what truly matters in life.
Months ago, I went to God and asked Him to transform Me. I knew that I was headed toward an uphill battle against Satan. I wanted Him to help me become a better person, one full of His glory and grace. For His light to shine through me to fight off the enemy when ever he attacks. I can see how God has been here every step of the way being my teacher. He is helping me when I didn't even know He was here. I know I have become someone different than I was months ago. Its truly amazing to feel the overwhelming sense of peace my life has taken on.
Don't get me wrong....like I mentioned before, my emotions have been a roller coaster. But I know its been a healthy ride. For we are only human right? But I do know that having faith and believing in Him will help me win the battle I am facing right now. I have been in search of a job....and its been a hard search and sometimes blow to the ego. But I do know that He has a plan for me, and the right job will be there.....God is just helping me while I wait for it to become present. I know that I will need to find a new place to live (not that I want to) but those anxiety fears have not creeped up. I know He will take care of me.
So even during this storm I'm fighting....I continue to have Faith. I believe! I raise my hands and I sing I dance!
