Darkness before Dawn

We all reach points in our life when we wonder what's next??

It's so important when you reach this pivotal point that you look to the sky and keep God in the complete center of your plans. My Pastor preached such a shaking message on Sunday where he reminded us that our plans may not be God's plans. If we continue moving forward with our personal ambitions without Jesus at the center of it all, we WILL fail!

My point is, just because you are in what you consider a "rut" doesn't mean you aren't on the path God wants you. Even if this is the hardest season you've ever experienced and you hurt more than you ever thought you could; all you have to do is completely give your all to Him who knows all.

Sometimes we assume just because we are having a hard time that God is out to get us. That's never the case! We are children of God and many times it is our own choices that put us in the spot we are.

God may be setting you up for a blessing and we need to be molded or worked over before we can accept it.

I have been through so much in my life and now I look back and I can say that every bit of it made me better, stronger and wiser.

It's easy to focus on the negative things in life or the valleys that tend to keep us down for longer than they should. However, I encourage you to fight through and press on. God is calling you to a higher purpose in life but you must trust Him with complete surrender of you heart, mind and strength.

I hope you have a Marvelous Monday! Remember, when God is in it; All things are new!

XOXO,
Denisha

Fathomless Billows Of Love

On this day 12 years ago I lost my brother. I remember the sound of the voice on the other side of the phone telling us to come to the hospital. I remember being cold. I remember the sounds of the chaos around me. I remember the chair I sat in as I watched my mom try to be strong. I remember so many little details but mainly I remember the giant hole it left in my heart! Nothing can ever separate us from [God's]  love . ... I remember singing  Peace, peace, wonderful peace, Coming down from the Father above! Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray In fathomless billows of love! What does "Fathomless billows of love" even mean Fathomless means  something that can't be understood; a  billow  is like a cloud swelling because of a sudden surge. So...... as many times as I questioned God's presence, his love never failed. It comes in waves and blows into my soul in a way that I can't understand. It soothes just when I can't handle another blow. It embraces me when...

To Be A Pillar

It's easy to be weak but it's hard to be strong! What do you want your life to say about you? "The wise woman builds not only for herself but for those who follow along behind her." -Joy Haney You have to confidently know that God will fulfill every promise he has every made to you & trust that it will happen in his timing. It's when we get impatient and want it our way that we become weak and fall short. God has called each of us to be a servant in his kingdom and sometimes we get caught up and forget its not about me or you! Its always about the kingdom, you can't serve people and bring them to the kingdom without being a people person or without being about His business! If the world can't see Jesus in you and through you why would they want it? Sometimes by being still and silent you are standing tall & speaking loud! It is ignorant and careless to share every thought and opinion that we have. Think before you speak, blog, tweet or text!!...

The Young Minister's Wife, So Harshly Judged

A life lesson I had to learn the hard way was: IT'S OK TO SAY "NO" I am not backslid or a stuck up snob if I can't attend every Ladies Meeting and Youth Event in Georgia. At the stage of life I'm in, I have 2 small boys who need and deserve the majority of my time. Not to mention I am a Pastor's Wife/Music Director. They always come first and that sometimes means I have to decline an invitation.  It's unfortunate that it is said "She uses her kids as a crutch" or "She isn't in the altar praying for everyone, she's just in the back socializing" If you could really understand what a Ministers Wife with small children truly has to conquer in order to just be at an event we would give them gold stars and nothing but praise every chance we get.  I don't think we should walk on egg shells or take on more than we can handle because we are afraid of what everyone else thinks about us sitting with our children instea...
