Sovereign Ark

As I reflected on my past experiences in my life and where I am now, I am forever grateful of God's strength, love and sovereignty . Even when I thought I was alone at the most darkest times of my life, even when I thought I didn't hear his voice while I cried out to him to save me, even when I thought he truly abandoned me. I now know that He was always there, He was  always speaking , He was rescuing and He was also teaching me. What the enemy planned out to destroy in my life at the same time God was using it as a teaching tool to get me through it and become stronger in the faith. Maybe just maybe when we go through that storm instead of screaming out to God to get us out of a situation maybe the question should be more like what is God teaching me in this situation..What are you going through that will strengthen your faith? even when the situation looks dim.

In this new journey that my husband and I are embarking into, there is much learning to do. Not only in the spiritual aspects but the technicality of how to grow this amazing ministry for God . I am definitely learning...Case in point, commercial, ads, flyers, etc... Yep!!! that's my part! I am behind and in front of the scenes. I hunkered down this past weekend and made my self learn how to edit video for a commercial we wanted to make. Almost 8 hours later I accomplished with lots of help from the almighty a 47 second commercial.  I want to share this video because so many are hurting, so many feel alone and afraid. We need to reach out by being bold in sharing our testimonies. It gives hope for those that are in need of it. It may just saves someones life.  Blessings, M

It has been a busy couple of months for my husband and I. We are embarking into a new journey together. God has strategically placed us into a ministry that has been a testing of our faith yet also a blessing as we are learning to trust in him more . If we were ever blind to God's hands in our lives, we are definitely seeing his hands move in our lives now. There were mountains that we had faced while preparing for the launch of this ministry yet  God flicked them out of the way like little marbles. Before I explain to you what this ministry is about I have to give you a brief history of how I landed where I landed now. The past 4 years while God has been removing and restoring this broken vessel. I have become more passionate, I have become more in love with him, and  I am becoming brave and I am slowly but surely understanding who I am in him. I am a child of GOD.  I had to learn to let go and confront those fears that would have prevented me from being where I am ...

I’m an encourager, I love to uplift a person with the word of God…but as I sat and thought of the verses I used over and over again I found myself asking, do we really trust God? When we find ourselves in trouble, when we face life events that we cant explain the why's, when the most horrific imaginable storms come, when our nightmares come true, where does our trust meter measure?  Do we fully trust God?  Do we half way trust him? or Do we think we trust him but crumble when the slightest trouble arises? I spoke with a friend, as she, I believe rightly so, was frightened and anxious about a certain situation but it made me wonder how many of us are in similar situations and  gets  soooo consumed with fear. I reflect on my own life. There has been so many times where my heart felt tight, anxiety bolted through my whole being and just felt like I was drowning into a place of no hope.  BUT, should I have been  trying to take control of situations...

As I grew up in the church, I really never disclosed the struggles that I had faced and I didn't understand my identity in him. I fought my battles in secret. Fast forward: Several months ago I wrote this poem which I posted on this blog about my struggles. As I wrote it I deeply felt that this personal poem needed to be shared. As I reflected back on my own personal struggles, I knew that I wasn't alone struggling to believe what God says in his word. I knew that there are many kids, teens, and adults struggling to focus and believe in God when, they face issues that are difficult, when they face their Goliath, when all hell brakes lose in their lives. As I mention above, I grew up in the church, and at the time I did not understand who I was in Christ. I grew up with a lot of anger, resentment, shame and guilt (side note: but I still had and have wonderful parents), let me remind you again, all while going  to church. You see I was taught information , the word ...

                 Let go and let him embrace. 

Gosh! One of many songs that has been ministering to me as I continue on the road to my healing is Broken Vessel (Amazing Grace) by Hillsong. Just wanted to share this. Blessings, M
