Now is the time!

March 02, 2019

As I woke up this morning I began to ask the Lord what he wanted me to read in his word today and as I opened the his word this scripture particularly has stuck with me all throughout the day.  I have been meditating on it. It was from 2nd Corinthians 6: 1-2. " As Gods fellow workers we urge you not to receive Gods grace in vain. 2. For he says,  " In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. " I tell you, now is the time of Gods favor, now is the day of salvation.
I will tell you why it resonates with me for I am going to share my experience,  strength and hope here. I grew up as a pastors daughter and I was molested by my father and his deacons and elders in the church however since I have gotten saved eleven days ago a seed was planted in my life as I am seeing things from another pair of glasses and my perception is changing on the daily I knew that whatever was going on in my home was not right and there was a missing Ingredient in the equation yet I was too young to know what that was. Consequently I got older and I got into a National prostitution ring and the life of drugs and I got into it for I didn't know better and I turned to drugs and sex to mask the pain. I was not being satisfied with it once it became a very necessary part of my life. I now know why I was not at ease or comfort now for I wasn't craving sex and drugs I was really craving the sense of ease and comfort that only God could give me.  I continued with that lifestyle until the wheels fell off for now I call it the day of divine intervention back in October 24, 2007 I got indicted on drug charges and I was hauled off to jail and I was there for nine months until I was sentenced.  I went to Alcoholics anonymous and I began to hear about God again which I neatly thought I evaded. I still was considering myself a atheist at first yet somehow on down the line I became a agnostic until I became saved eleven days ago on February 20, 2019 at 10:30 am. I had no conception of fear and I took God's grace and mercy for granted for eleven years and I don't know how I have been able to not go back to the life I left all I can say is that I was being covered by the grace of God.  I was at a point not to long ago that I was faced with a serious decision as to where I was going to chose for my destiny and I choose the plan of salvation.  Eleven days ago was my time so I ask you what is it going to take for you to grow up and take responsibility and care for yourself and your day of salvation? For running on grace only goes so far until the time comes to where there's no more for you didn't take heed to what you were to do which was to get saved and honestly seeking God and surrendering and making the right choice. 
Please don't give up five minutes before the miracle happens!

When God Speaks

In my lifetime I have experienced a lot, however it's been a real whirlwind in my life as of recently. Not too long ago I was not living up to my full potential and every since I got saved.  My life has been so much self destruction and I ran on fear and I was all over the place.  While I was all over the place I turned to drugs and prostitution to run my life. In that kind of life I never knew what was going to happen. I had my pimps direction. Then came the direction of the judicial system. I traded one mess for another.  In the last three weeks I have never experienced such a whirlwind like this  however their is a good order to what is taking place. In fact the other night I was crying out to the Lord and asking him for help. I have two very serious personality disorders and in my town there's no therapist that will take my case yet I found out that a highly specialized therapist was seven hours away from where I am currently residing. I called him and I set up a appointme

Reclaiming My Time...

March 12, 2019 Reclaiming My Time… My childhood was full of sexual molestation and pornography and I didn't have a healthy set of family dynamics in fact it was beyond dysfunctional.  My father was a Baptist pastor and my first memory as a child was when I was three years old and my father was molesting me. My mom was a special education teacher and looked the other way. When I got older my father had deacons and elders under him and I was being molested by them as well. When I was about the ages of 9 -11 years old they threw me into child pornography.  I was so confused with the mess of the message that I was being taught that by the age of 14 years old I wanted nothing to do with the home environment let alone the church and God.  I ran away from home to stop getting molested by men. I have news for you! It didn't stop the sexual perversion in my life in fact it went to a whole new level of it. I happen to have met a much older man than I was and he seemed to care and he

FEAR!!!

In my lifetime I have lived in so much subconscious fear and upheaval. I used to run my entire life on nothing but fear, confusion and chaos yet it set me up in motion of self defense, extreme anger, rage and most of all frustration for feeling like I was never good enough and I was grossly misunderstood.  Having, said that I ended up self harming myself and masking the extreme amount of pain that I was nearly evading from you, yet most importantly myself.  I remember so many nights out on the track as we called it back in the day where I was motivated by fear for my pimp put a quota on me every night that it was impearative to get his money. I wish I could say that I was clean in my business dealings, however I can't say that. If the truth be told I grew a strong resentment, bitterness and downright hatred for men.  I had a gift for picking up men who had the bank role and I got my money one way or another. I didn't even care if I ripped them off. I remember one night that I
