Life at 26




Valiant: to be of courage and determination.

As a child I always wanted to be like my elder cousins, GROWN! Ha-ha they were grown to me and so mature, on my mother’s side I was the only girl in my mom’s family. My mother’s family has strong values and they grew within the church. I was never really allowed to play with my boy cousins but I also could never wait to grow up just like them. My older cousin always taught me to enjoy being young; he would say when you turn 21 and afterwards everything goes so quickly. Lol, boy do I agree now!

Is it just me? When I turned 22-25 I still felt 21 all these 5 years now at age 26 I feel 26! 26 years old. 4 years, a saved woman of God. The week before my birthday it hits me, I’m 26 and yet now I feel so much older. Lol I still go through my weaknesses not feeling good enough, just feeling ashamed about myself. I have to remind myself that I am where I am supposed to be at. At this very moment; I am where God wants me to be, even if I may be behind for some. I am where God wants me to be. I shall grow in him; I will mature in him, in his time, in his season and not my own.

Can God allow you to mature differently than others? Personally I believe so. It happened for me, you can grow spiritually too not just physically.

Just the other night I was reading my Bible 6/11/2016.  1 Chronicles 10: 11-12 When all the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,  all their valiant men went and took the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. Then they buried their bones under the great tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days. This passage spiritually spoke out to me like never before, the word Valiant spoke out to me. Valiant spoke “strong!” So I’ve seen this word before several times while reading the bible but I would read it and pass on without knowledge of what the word actually meant. So, randomly I googled this word and it means Boldness and courageous, and that is exactly what God wants for me. God wants for me in this year, this season to be strong. Strong in God. I got upset because God knows what I am going through; he knows what I am suffering from. He also knows that I am struggling as well. He needs for me to shift and focus on him. WHEW! When I told you that wrecked me and quickly put me in my place. God sat me correctly, so at 26 I need to be valiant just like the women and men of God in the bible. Valiant people.

We need to build ourselves up in the word of God, pray in the word of God. Let go of the past and move forward with the future. Let go & let God. Be courageous.


To be Valiant (strong) at 26!

A savior with a child in need

Without asking ... totally unaware or prepared! I heard the lord!  He spoke to me!  Within this time twice, he gave me the best advice!  He saved me when I didn’t know I needed to be and at that very moment he closed the door or something that could have been prolonged for years!  I just pondered in it , still in amazement because he saved me! He saved me from making a huge mistake !!  He told me not to give someone my time! I had given this (person) too much of my time which caused me to miss the lord and it allowed this person to take full advantage of my time most of which I will not be able to get back but just then I could have missed the lord I could have ignored the still small voice but I didn’t.  I really just wanted to share this with you, I don’t want anyone to miss their opportunity with God he truly is a savior rather or not you are in need! He thinks of you first ! Be in peace y’all! 😊 Malik...

How God can bring you through darkness

Imagine locking yourself in a room where there is no windows just dark-warm colored walls, now image closing that door… in comes complete darkness, you can also see this even if you just close your eyes and place your hands over them… (Darkness has no light) but Light will over power darkness and God is gracious enough to bring us out of darkness. ( Darkness can also be a spiritual weight of heaviness ) There is darkness in all sin such as drugs, porn, masturbation, cursing, stealing, lying and etc. (There is access to God through prayer) KJV Acts 5: 31 “Him has God exalted with his right hand to be a prince and a savior for to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.” I remember how I got saved there I was indulging in “weed,” something that I thought could cure my pain and everything that I had been going through. I became addicted to something I saw as small but God saw BIG. Jesus became my center at that very moment I was willing to give my all. I wa...

and your still single?

                                                                Long time no Blog…. Although I started working on this very blog a couple of months ago; I took my time to post it! Strangely enough, I feel as though I will serve some purpose to my late blogs... I love writing it’s like my extra niche but do I have the passion for it? Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. I like to refer to myself as being super WEIRD. LOL literally! It’s like I blog when I feel the need to or else inspired. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m super sorry to those who have looked forward to my blogs. Though, I had not known it. At times I felt like they weren’t at all great or as though none of you looked forward to reading them. I found that through my deepest feelings God Knew what was best. I am doing this for him and not for my own special gain...
