“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” — Eleanor Roosevelt

The month of march is Women’s History Month where we take a look at women in our history.So this month in honor of Women’s History Month I am going to look at some great women from the bible and connect how God did wonders for them, and you may ask how this pertain to my blog but here it is God was with Moses and then he promised to be Joshua ….

POINT: God did wonders in the past with Moses and then Miracles with a Future Generation Joshua the consistency in the point is GOD he doesn’t Change.

Today I choose to start with Rahab because I relate to her so much and no I am not a prostitute or a thot but I relate her because in the bible she was described as a Prostitute so that means everyone in Jericho knew who she was and they titled her as a prostitute but none of the would expect she would be apart of the linage of Jesus.

Point: When people write you off and don’t think anything more of you when they have labled you JESUS IS THE GAME CHANGER 

Jeremiah 1:5 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

5 I chose you before I formed you in the womb;
I set you apart before you were born.
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.

Thankful For Grace

Grace: The free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings.

Recently I had the Opportunity to read Sarah Jakes-Roberts Book Lost and Found Finding:Hope in the detours of life.The book was extremely interesting in the sense of no so much the situations that she endured but how there was an opportunity of Gods, Grace and how it was I guess IGNORED in a way that his was grace was there but to busy going through life to notice it, then in turn that made me reflect on my own life.

Reflection: God has always been there even when I didn’t deserve it,I am going to be extremely honest with you this morning GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO ME. What you read now on these blogs is a reflection of Grace, I have hurt people with actions and I have destroyed people with my mouth, I have lied and I have done things to hurt the people I Love or just people in general, and I haven’t always walked the straight and narrow of Gods word for I have turnt up with the best of them and even worst exchanged myself for the validation or approval of others but yet he didn’t deal with me as I Have deserved to be dealt with he has just extended Grace to Me.It make me get a bit emotional to see how kind he has been to me and how loving he has been that I have nothing but Gratitude and its nothing to be taken advantage just because its free but I just really need to say THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR GRACE.

Proverbs 1:9 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

9 for they’re will be a garland of grace on your head
and a gold chain around your neck.

Thankful For My Scars

Good Morning Everyone I am sorry I have been so quiet and distant lately but this week with work,and church actives has been hectic but this week I had the opportunity to share with some of the young people at my church and the topic was Fearfully and wonderfully made and I had share something about myself on how when I don’t wear makeup and how I feel like my acne scars are so ugly and how I won’t talk to a guy over face time without my makeup on ,and I explained to them like other things this is one of the things I asked God to deal with me on and I wanted him (God) help me find the beauty in my scars and not only my physical scars but the ones I try to cover up by putting a facade of me being okay ,but for me being thankful for my scars and seeing them as testimony.

Testimony: The beauty about scars is that it shows me Tiffany that Wounds can be healed.

Psalm 139:14 [Full Chapter]

I will praise You because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and I know this very well.
For my physical Scars you can see and the ones you can’t see they are beautiful and I am thankful for all of them.

Today my blog will be a letter I am writing to myself because I feel like sometimes we are so hard on ourselves and not appreciate ourselves.

Dear me(Tiffany),

You need to stop being so hard on yourself and You over think things too much and if you say that you trust Gods heart then breath!Nobody has it together and you don’t have to wear a mask to please yourself and others,being transparent is fine your scars are beautiful.you can take joy in knowing God because his Grace is sufficient you are not lacking anything because you read in his word everyday where it says that “he will supply all your needs”, but girl a little friendly advice stop giving out your number to everyone and not every guy deserves a chance or your time.Stay focused on your spiritual life because by you letting God stretch you and by you letting him develop you into he wants you be ,Its building character and its okay to go through this process because you asked for this change remember you asked not to be complacent in life. you remember that you prayed to God about this, so its okay and remember  Isaiah 31:5 he will take care of you.

Isaiah 31:5

5 Like hovering birds,

so the Lord of Hosts will protect Jerusalem—

by protecting it, He will rescue it,

by sparing it, He will deliver it.

VALUE

Hey Everyone I hope your Monday is as productive as mine,This month of February is a time and season where I am learning to be more appreciative of the blessings God has given to me.

Appreciate:recognize the full worth of.

At my core and natural being I am a worshiper so I would naturally be thankful and easy to be appreciative but I can’t be really be thankful if I don’t see the Value of what I have things (family,friend,gifts,Job,and ECT) .

This journey of becoming closer to God is I need to see the value in what he as given me and also what he has taken from me.

I might be stretched myself physical and spiritual but I see the Value in God stretching me.

4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 since it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.1st Timothy 4:4-5

The interference of Passivity

BIBLE, CHOICE, CONFIDENCE, Faith, GRACE, MERCY, MIRROR, NFL, SUPER BOWL, THE WORD, , , , , , , , , , ,

Well Guys I am a football Junkie like,I personally believe that Superbowl Sunday is the greatest day on earth since Jesus was born, okay thats a little bit to much but I ❤ SUPERBOWL, So lets talk a little football analogy in honor of Superbowl Sunday.

Jesus is my quarterback and lets say I am the Wide receiver and Jesus tells me run up 3 steps up and then make a right and catch the ball, so I do what the QB says but I run it with a little bit of doubt and thoughts in my mind ( someone might intercept it,someone might knock me down) so now I become doubtful in myself and because I doubted my ability (JESUS) Then I loose the ball.

In not so football terms what if I let my passive behavior get in the way of my Christianity.

passive:  accepting or allowing what happens or what others do, without active response or resistance

I have been pondering on this for a while am I being passive about Christianity and about trusting GOD or am I passive about what happens to the people of God or am I passive about un-believers or am I passive about making a stand for holiness.

In chrisindom we get caught up in the being politically correct or being always the peaceful one when we are suppose to be making stands and making a difference.

Look at the story of Jesus in the temple

Matthew 21:12-13

12 Jesus went into the temple complex and drove out all those buying and selling in the temple. He overturned the money changers’ tables and the chairs of those selling doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, My house will be called a house of prayer. But you are making it a den of thieves!”

He didn’t make friends but he stood for holiness.

So I declare on the is page today and to whomever may read it.

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.

Mercy Needs Forgiveness and Forgiveness Needs Mercy

Good day everyone I have been dealing with a sore spot MERCY and FORGIVENESS  and how they go hand in hand.

Forgiveness: to stop feeling anger toward something,or someone

Mercy : Kind or forgiving treatment of someone who could be treated harshly

Like I stated in a previous blog that I can hold a grudge and I have very vengeful ways and those were things that God really needed to deal with me on those things and from the end of 2013 to now I realize the purpose of forgiveness and why mercy needs to go along with it.

There is a saying that Forgiveness is for you and literally it is for you,If i were to hold on to everything everyone has done to me and kept that all up in my heart.

A. I would be bitter

B.I wouldn’t be able to hear from God because I am living in disobedience by not forgiving

C.I wouldn’t have any friends because they wouldn’t like my bitter attitude

D.The List Can GO ON

Un-forgiveness is a poison,like it can eat you alive and eventually Kill you.

Ephesians 4:32 ESV Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Mercy is for the other person,because I don’t know about you but sometimes I like to make the person who hurt me feel my wrath and hurt them just as badly as they hurt me,but if I were to live in that vengeful circle forever then it would go like this I forgive the someone that hurt me,then I turn around  treat them badly and then I have to apologizes to them and the same nasty cycle would be going around and around.

Matthew 5:7 ESV “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

Forgiveness needs mercy and mercy needs forgiveness and trust me I completely understand pain that cannot be described or anger that you wanna hold on to because of the pain,but JESUS FORGIVES US EVERYDAY BECAUSE WHEN WE SIN WE HURT HIM AND HE EXTENDS MERCY TO US BY NOT TREATING US ACCORDING TO OUR SINS.

Forgiveness needs Mercy and Mercy needs Forgiveness

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!WHO AM I?

BIBLE, CHOICE, christian, CONFIDENCE, Faith, JESUS, MASK, MIRROR, THE WORD, , , , , , , , , , , ,

So last night I had the privilege of seeing The Lion King, and you know that part were Mufasa says to Simba “Remember who you are”.As I was sitting there and looking at Simba’s and my story were a little similar in life and experiences and were both on a Journey of Self awareness to become better people,we both have lost people that impacted our lives and processing through the grief of it all,and we have masked who we are because of our pain and hurt.Sometimes we can be so hurt that we put on a robe of a new person ,someone we have never been before,someone we don’t recognize and not even when we look in the mirror can we see ourselves.

So on this path of remembering who I am,its step by step but I know the basics

1.I am pretty ( vain moment excuse me, I will praise You because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and I know this very well.  psalm 139:14  )

2.I am Royalty(But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1 peter 2:9 )

3. I have a great future ( For I know the plans I have for you”–this is the LORD’s declaration–“plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11)

To remember who you are,you must know whose you are since we believe in the perfect word of God around here IF I TRUST HIS HEART TOWARDS ME I KNOW I WILL BE FINE.
