To encounter God is to have your inner Spirit refined and redirected in such a way that completely changes your life. To encounter God is to be welcomed into His all consuming presence. To…

    You can liken it to turning on a faucet, and water instantly rushing through; the only way to stop that flow would be if I were to turn the faucet off. The role I play in the depth of my relationship with God is critical. God is the living water (John 4:10); He is forever moving and springing new life.

🌸 my beautiful grandma gave me the greatest hon 🌸 my beautiful grandma gave me the greatest honour today. 

a few months ago my grandma and I prayed together. A couple days later she asked me to officiate her funeral whenever that time should come.

and today, with my sweet family and many of her dearest friends, I had the opportunity to honour her life and we laid her to rest.

my message today was: 

"A Place Prepared for You"

I think she would've been really pleased with it all.. and how handsome grandpa was 💗

i love you grandma - i honour you and i will miss you.

✨️ this was my grandma and grandpa's love song.. the one they'd listen to while they stayed up for hours and the one they'd dance to when they first started dating over 60 years ago. - "Sleepwalk" 💕
----
Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
- John 14:1-3 NLJV
✨️I've never been more alive. Thank you @char ✨️I've never been more alive.

Thank you @charquiring and @sisterhoodministries team for trusting and believing in me. Thank you for your love, encouragement and prayers. 💕

Thank you for the opportunity to be obedient. 
It's an honour to pursure the hearts of women across this nation, for Jesus, with you.

It's only up from here.

"‭‭Pay close attention to yourself [concentrate on your personal development] and to your teaching; persevere in these things [hold to them], for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you." - ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:16 AMP

✨️These are only a few of the women in my life ✨️These are only a few of the women in my life whom I love and appreciate so much 😭!

There's nothing like a village of strong women around you who support you, pray for you and are in your corner! 

"those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed." - Proverbs 11:25 NLT

So thankful for true friendship and for the amazing mom's in my life. 

I couldn't have done this past weekend at the @sisterhoodministries #illuminateconference or life in general without you, your words of life and the help of the Holy Spirit!

I honour you.. I bless you.. I thank you and I love you so!

The seasons may be changing but one thing remains The seasons may be changing but one thing remains the same...

What Jesus has done for me!

It will forever be my story.. the whole world has to know:

Jesus saved me.
He changed me.
He healed me.
He set me free.
He gave me hope.
He formed my future.
He brought me back to life.

⚡️My story can be your story!

What has Jesus done for you?!
Let me know below.

“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him." - John 3:16‭-‬17 NLT
These birds never go hungry. They never have to w These birds never go hungry.

They never have to worry.
They live happy lives with their nests, some food and their innate purpose. 

And God cares for them,
He's pleased with the birds He created.

But you.
You were created with something very special. 
Because you were made in God's image, in His likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]. (Gen 1:26)

There's nothing and no one on earth quite like you.
Made with a purpose, on purpose.

Just as He cares and looks after the birds,
He knows exactly what you need and He loves you.

He knows what you're believing for,
what you've been praying for and He is faithful.

"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."
- Matthew 6:33 NLT

Trust Him.

🌿Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for being a good Father. Great is your faithfulless (lamentations 3:23). I'm reminded of your goodness today, and I thank you for creating me with and for a purpose. Help me to walk in my purpose. Teach me your ways and guide me to understand your great love. Lord, help me to seek you first before anything else, knowing that everything I need lies in you (Matthew 6:33). In Jesus Name. Amen!
