Renewed!

For a while I have been considering making changes to the blog. Blogs are the "it" tool of the century. I mean everyone has a blog - I mean everyone. There are blogs for fashion, crafting, networking, rambling, business, and motivation / inspiration. If you've never visited other blogs, you really should. There are some really edgy blogs out there, and after visiting Dr. Medina Pullings' website, she is truly a woman on a mission. She reminds women of all sizes, shapes, and colors to be the QUEENs they were made to be. I love her message, and I embrace her philosophy that a woman should look and act like a lady! So many people are having identity crises because they don't know who they are and whose image they reflect.

I realized that Christians are supposed to lead the pack. If my blog is going to be life changing for people who "accidentally" stumble onto the page, there has to be something that will not only grab their attention, but it must also captivate them into reading the posts and gleaning tidbits from the pearls of wisdom. So the blog got a makeover~ I spend my days and sometimes nights giving women physical and spiritual makeovers and thought the blog was due a few minor changes. A new blog ~ A new attitude!

Yesterday, the world gathered for Easter festivities and I am still celebrating the Resurrection of the Messiah. It really is my favorite holy-day. Don't get me wrong I like Christmas, because we reflect on the birth of Christ. But the truth of the matter is that Jesus' birth did not make us brand new, His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension to the Father is what saves us! After a day of worshipping God for His divine mercy, grace, and love, I had time to reflect on where God has brought me from. A couple of years ago, I had a supernatural experience like never before. I felt the presence of God surrounding me, embracing me, and covering me. I am sure that people around me saw or felt nothing, but I did! That is the thing about God, He is so personal. Anyway I felt more loved and joyful than I ever have. It was as if we were the only two in a room that actually held thousands! I have had several God encounters before and since then, but none compare to that day. I had nearly forgotten about it until yesterday. God quietly and softly nudged me from a deep sleep and reminded me of that glorious experience. He also spoke in that still soft voice (you know the one that you think is in your head or the one you call something that tells you to do stuff) and said, "Remember that day you felt me all around you on the floor? Well, I planted an irrevocable seed in you that day, and I am bringing that seed to fruition. Your life will never be the same, Love Your Daddy, God!"

What an awesome word from the Lord. To think that God took the time on Resurrection Sunday to remind me that the seeds that He planted in my life, seeds that seem dormant or even dead are alive. He is personally resurrecting His plans and purpose for my life. Now you may think that this is strange or you may think why doesn't stuff like this happen to you, but this is truth. God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. He chooses who he will bless and how He will bless us. God is also no respecter of persons, He doesn't play favorites. What He is doing for me, HE will also do for you. So be encouraged! That thing that you thought was dead and even forgot was there because it seemed dormant, well God is breathing on it, and at His appointed time He will resurrect and put life into it. Now I am not promising that when I get my breakthrough that you will too! But know that God knows your season, and He has your times in His hands. So get ready for renewed visions, dreams, goals, situations, relationships. Take some time to renew your walk with Jesus, pray, read, meditate on the scripture.

Today is a new day in your life! God is renewing you and me! God has not forgotten you! Walk into your season. By the way, I know that you have to be a blessing to get a blessing, so I am having a contest.

Here are the rules:

• refer someone "new" to the blog
• post a "new" comment about the new look of the blog
• say a prayer of intercession that God renews someone you know needs it

Everyone that posts a comment will have their name entered in basket. My beloved son will have the privilege of drawing the "blessed" name. The winner will receive a "NEW' pair of handmade by "Jewelz" red earrings (to remind you that you are covered in Jesus' blood and no weapon formed against you shall prosper).

Be blessed!
