Hello 2017

                                       

So... I think it is safe to say that I am extremely terrible at keeping up with a Blog... However, maybe 2017 will be a new year! Because it is a new year.  First off let me play catch up.. I have no idea where I was in my life prior to fading off into the business of life. But I do know what I faced in 2016 was pretty heavy and full of hard trying times. I know that I learned contentment with my 2016 scriptural moto being 

"Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content" -Philippians 4:11. 

And even though I learned contentment, I still faced a much more difficult time than contentment. I faced a very deep and dark depression. For those that don't know, I have PCOS. I am not defined by it, but I do have it. There for.. I cannot conceive without the hand of God healing my internal body or going through medical treatments. I did the medical treatments for a little over a year and a half, before God told me to trust him, and so I did. But during the treatments I fell into a dark place, of low self esteem and self worth. I didn't like who I was. I gained a lot of weight by being on hormones, and the constant cost of prescriptions and ultra sounds were weighing on me heavy. Not to mention that it all felt like a constant reminder that I couldn't conceive. So with much prayer and a made up mind I pulled myself up and got out of the depression state I was in. God once again, taught me contentment! What a mighty God we serve! I began to really listen to him, and put words into action. I heard a women's conference message about preparing a room for your blessing, and then once again at another conference I heard to prepare the room. So I did. Daniel and I bought a crib, I painted and bought a rug.. I found a chair, a book shelf and a dresser and it was ready! I told Daniel, that God told me this room is to be our prayer room, it is where we go and pray, where we read, where we meditate on the Lord, because he is going to bless this room, it is the room we will bring our promise home to and it will be blessed and anointed because we obeyed the Lord and allowed him to reveal things to us and anoint us in that room.  Now it would be GREAT! If I could tell you that we are pregnant and due in a few months. But we aren't. And that's okay. I'm in a great place. God opened up the door for Daniel and I to be the youth pastors at our church, so we are growing in that. But I still hold onto my promise. 2017's scriptural moto is 

Luke 1:45 "And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord." 

And this was confirmed by God through my Pastor when he preached "The Season is Now" I've had many people that are near and dear tell me this year is my year. Most times I smiled and brushed it off, so as not to fall into overthinking and create something major and allow those thoughts to drag me down again. But I firmly believe with all of my being that 2017 is my year! I ask anyone that is reading this, and believes in a miracle performing God to pray this with me. And pray this for yourself. Your promise, your miracle, isn't too great that God can't give it to you in 2017. You have to hold onto the faith, and believe that he is able. Be Blessed, and Be Encouraged. XXOO
