Hey Guys I’m still here I am doing great!! I feel good and I'm blessed to be saved my the blood of Jesus and have a relationship with the lover of my soul. God is so awesome. I am currently in the middle of a 40 day consecration and God is showing me and teaching me so many things and I can hear him clearly I love that aspect of fasting.

My only downfall is the eating I'm used to being on a schedule and I'm now eating after a certain time of day and it's killing me I have gained like 2 or 3 lbs I'm at 247 right now but I'm still working out and getting a handle on my eating and I'm doing much better than last week's epsiodes LOL. I'm on the low end of size 18 clothes and it's just amazing to me how much the price drops and how many pieces of clothing you can find for a decent price. Yesterday I went to walmart and found a bra in a 38D for $5.88 I mean I cannot recall the last time I spent under 12.00 for a bra! I got happy about that one. I was praising the Lord LOL. I went from a 42DD to a 38D so I'm happy. My waist so far has went from 51 inches to 38 inches so praise the Lord!!!

I'm just praising God and sitting at his feet for whatever he has instore for me. I have realized finally what it is that God has called me to and I'm going about learning about that. I knew he called me back in July and it was confirmed in October but I didn't want to accept the reality of what ministry it was that he called me to. But I have seen it manifest and I now know I have to walk in it because I'm accountable to it now. So for the time being I'm just focusing on that.
Thanks for stopping by *waving*

Oh how I really missededed you guys!!!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know that I am excellent. There is nothing wrong I am just terrible with updating as I stated before please be patient with me lol.

Lately within my life I am going through some transistions spiritually and therefore it’s causing a lot of my personal appetites (namely internet) to be put on the back burner. I am still working out and getting stronger. I am still wearing my hair naturally and though I have been having some standstill and downright frustrating moments with it, I’m still keeping it nappy J.

As far as the kids, Lexy is now taking some tumbling classes for her cheerleading and boy oh boy is that a sight to see. That girl tickles me pink with her cute self lol. She is doing great in school we were having some rough spots with the attitudes in class but that was concerning her little friends that don’t wanna be friends but then they do wanna be friends and blah blah blah lol (oh to be an elementary kid again). Lexy is increasingly gaining interest in prayer. When we have intercessory prayer in church and also when I pray at home she is very interested in the prayers and so I’m praying to see whether God wants me to begin teaching her anything about that yet. She’s been called to be a prayer warrior, God revealed that to me a couple of years ago but I know that she will know when he wants her to know.

Little Quincy is preparing for baseball season and excelling like crazy in his classes. I may possibly have him tested to move up a grade next year once I see how he copes with 1st grade because his reading and math levels are at a 2nd grade level and he is in Kindergarten!! He and Lexy have their own kiddie Bibles and he is reading his everyday and just learning those big words with no problems. Even in my Sunday school class that I teach he is now in my class because he turned six and he is keeping up if not excelling others in the reading portions which I thank God for. He has an incredible thirst for knowledge so I’m praying for God to keep that in his life.

Big Quincy is growing by leaps and bounds I love my baby (that’s my big baby). He is going through some trials with his job but he already recognizes what that is spiritually so he’s not taking it personally at all. We know that we are growing spiritually and for every level of faith that we reach there will be some obstacles to overcome whether it be battling with our flesh or problems that have presented as temptations by the devil that are trying to cause us to sin it is already defeated in the name of Jesus.

Me…well I have been doing pretty good…excellent as a matter of fact. My weight is going through it’s plateau stage again but now that I’ve found the complete root of my problem I’m working to fix that. I’m still working out and running my butt off literally it’s just the eating part that I’ve completely botched lately. I am now going back to drinking my water and I am eating more veggies. I had stopped doing that consistently all through the month of February and stayed at a stand still. My clothing sizes are now to the lower end of a size so woohoo for that. I plan on being in a 16 by the time June rolls around it would be excellent if I could be in a 14 by then but I’m taking my goals one day at a time. Spiritually I am learning to saturate myself in the Word of God because the Lord is my strength and when I have his promises embedded in my heart and soul I simply cannot sin against him. I am learning to live a lifestyle of intercession. One of my sisters in church said that to me one day while we were discussing prayer and that really stuck out to me. Intercession is a lifestyle, just like Holiness is a lifestyle. It’s not just something that I do I want to live it. I realize that making something a habit is a challenge… so making something a lifestyle is even more of a challenge but I feel in order to walk in what God has called me to, I can no longer be selfish. I want to please God in all that I do so that I can reap the benefits of his glory and anointing. I want the favor of the Lord to exist in my life, because when I have the favor of the Lord in my life then there is no obstacles that can block my progress in him. I’ve been whining and having my fits about me, me, me for long enough. It’s time to be what God has called me to be and be effective while doing it. I want to see miracles, signs and wonders from the Lord in this day and age with my own two eyes. A couple of scriptures that I am feasting on as of yet are these:

Romans 12:2
Be not conformed to the ways of this world but rather be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is, his good and pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 13:14
Rather clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature (flesh).

Over the next 30 days I am in consecration, I’ve already been there for 10 days, but during this time I will be really tuning in and focusing on divine instruction, revelation, and growth for my spirit man so you might or might not see my commenting or visiting some of the websites that I normally visit. I just want you all to know that I still love you and I have not forgotten about any of you. Thank you so much for checking up on me and asking where I have been. That shows me that you really care for me and that I was on your mind. That is a wonderful feeling. I’m keeping all of me readers lifted in prayer and I hope that you all do the same with me.

Well until we meet again or I have more to say God bless you and always remember:

Temptation rarely comes in working hours. It is in their leisure time that men are made or marred. -W M TAYLOR
