Confession: He Calls Me

"The Holy Spirit is my teacher and who better than Him? I must be teachable if I plan on and growing. And sometimes that means walking ahead with no instruction just a destination." - Type.Classy

Sometimes is nice to hear yourself say who you are. It builds your confidence and helps you stand a little taller. I am a firm believer in knowing who you are. People in this world attach so many perverted names to children of God. They pass insults around like notes in high school. They try to pin labels on you not worthy of the King who lives in you. The solution for most is speak no hear no see no. The less attention we give to it the quicker it dies. Yet we forget where the true power resides: think no. We meditate day and night on he say she say forgetting what He said. I was once in this situation. Lending my mind to this world and my ear to Jesus. Yeah He said I was fearfully and wonderfully made but I know He would never create junk like me. You are what you eat. My spirit was on a starvation diet. Nothing to eat or drink in days. How do you know who you are if you never seek who made you?.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.- James 5:16 (KJV)


There is so much power in confession. Every time I read this verse God breathes and I hear something else. This time I hear "Tell them who you are. Declare who I am wherever you go. Call on my name and make me the center. Worship me for who I am. Carry my joy where ever you go. Set the world on fire when you pray and worship as Heaven begins to flood the earth. Honor me and when they tell you who you are I will show them who I am"

I am the child who breaks His heart.
Making promises my flesh wont let me keep.
Expecting Him to forgive me in the mist of doing wrong.

I am the child that wont come home.
Covered in shame and guilt afraid to knock cause He will answer.
Too busy chasing my dreams to follow His perfect will.
Sheltered in disobedience when I could be covered by the Blood.

I am a child of the Most High.
Fearfully and wonderfully made.
Soaked in His unfailing love.
Resting in His safety and walking in perfect peace.
Never letting Him down because I don't hold Him up.

I am a child of God.
Bought with the blood of a King.
Wrapped in His arms reaching for His hem
to be healed. I am my beloveds and He is mine.

This post made me scream YES louder and louder at the end of every line-
"I am the child"

Really knowing our identity in Christ is a game-changer
It changes the way we see GOD
It changes the way we the the world
It changes the way we see ourselves

We're blood-bought. And that's not just a fly statement. It's the truth.

Challenge Accepted: My Scars

A couple days ago a fellow blogger and sister of mine issued a challenge. The challenge was to write a blog on why I show my scars. Once I read the challenge I knew I had to participate. Sharing my journey through writing has been a source of healing and freedom not just for me but for those who read the blog. Ever since I started this blog I have had the support of Rhachelle and I am truly grateful for that. When I bought my first pink my scars tee from her RN brand t-shirt collection I promised myself I wouldn't put it on until I was ready to speak freely about everything I had been through. Needless to say the shirt is in heavy rotation and I can no longer be silent about how Christ rescued me. I hope that you all enjoy this post and decide to take the challenge as well. Check out rhachellenicol.com for more information on the challenge and rnbranddesign.bigcartel.com for the my scars t-shirts and her other ministry tees.  I show my scars because I was never good at putting o

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. - John 8:36 "It is the hurt that breaks me it’s the pain that pulls me to my knees and the tears they’ve changed me til what I couldn’t see Becomes so clear to me This is the way The way that you love me" - Anthony Evans Where do I begin? Its been a long 2 months. I went through every emotion there is. I cried more than I slept and prayed more than I breathed. I was isolated from every single comfort zone I faithfully rested my head upon. All I had was a mouth to pray and hands to praise. It was just me and God. And though I know He would never leave nor forsake me I had never felt so alone. I felt abandoned and cut off. The dreams I had grown so accustomed to were no where to be found. The very gift through which all my answered prayer came was out of service. I felt like my prayer was in vain. I started to focus my mind on other things. I begin to rely on people back home to tell me what God was saying. I patiently
