God is a keeping God. He kept me yesterday... He kept me today... He will keep me tomorrow ... He is holding my week in the palm of His hands... He is holding the next month in His hands... He will sustain me and keep me throughout the year. Because God is a keeping God. And he will redeem all the lost time. The time that you feel is wasted. The time that you feel is not redeemable. He will keep, sustain, redeem, and restore because that is His character... thats who He is. “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten— the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm— my great army that I sent among you. Joel 2:25 NIV https://www.instagram.com/p/Co5v76oOf5f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Never change yourself for anyone... unless it's God. If they cannot handle you that's a reflection of how they have felt about you all along. YOU were created BY GOD... their standards of how you should be are not what God says. Don't let someone's unrealistic and most often unspoken expectations for you dictate your life. There is no such thing as perfect... perfection is an unattainable goal. https://www.instagram.com/p/Co3RN0VuOl5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are in the middle of Womens history month and it would be wrong of me to not give these 2 women the honor they deserved. Their lives spoke volumes and their ministries reached far beyond what we can fathom. They taught me so much and i have gleaned and learned so much from their lives. Mommy and grandma...we miss you so much. Lord only knows how much we really do. Time doesnt heal....but the Lord does. I thank you for makinging me the strong woman i am today. Thank you for imparting so much wisdom and discernment into my life and the lives of many others. ❤ https://www.instagram.com/p/CMr41PolJAP/?igshid=17ho88wr1frkx

Unqualified..... When it comes to my life, all the mistakes ive made, the people I've let down but still showe grace and my walk with God.... i am extremely unqualified. After all the things ive done to hurt myself and unintentionally hurt others...all that makes me unqualified. BUT then the Lord reminds me in his word.... none of the people he had called had ever been qualified. Moses- he stuttured, David- had an affair and murdered, Noah- drank too much, Mary Magdalene- posessed by 7 demons, Martha- worried, Sarah- impatient and the list goes on. All to prove... that God doesnt require perfection from you. Just a yes. He thought of you when he sent Jesus to die on the cross. He saw you and knew you before you were even a thought in your parents minds. He doesn't need you to be qualified or perfect. One look at you and he says "he's perfect"...."shes perfect" and places his hand on you and marks you with his blood and his favor. He sees your heart and says "thats my son....that's my daughter"....He is pleased with you. There is nothing you can do to make him love you more or move his hand in your life. Rest in Him and know your worth in Him. He makes you qualified. * We know very well that we are not set right with God by rule-keeping but only through personal faith in Jesus Christ. How do we know? We tried it—and we had the best system of rules the world has ever seen! Convinced that no human being can please God by self-improvement, we believed in Jesus as the Messiah so that we might be set right before God by trusting in the Messiah, not by trying to be good. Galatians 2:15‭-‬16 MSG* https://www.instagram.com/p/CL7RgkWlNmS/?igshid=1vgkwxv7ddj8w
