“I’m going through something…”
Now at one point or another we all have said I am going through something. Or I’m going through. How long have you said that phrase? How many times have you claimed this phrase? Well let me help you the way my Pastor had to help me. First and foremost stop speaking negativity over yourself and your situation. You still going through because you keep claiming you are going through. You have taken ownership of that thought process. You need to speak life in to your situations. Life and death are in the power of the tongue.
“People will be rewarded for what they say; they will be rewarded by how they speak. What you say can mean life or death. Those who speak with care will be rewarded.” Proverbs 18:20-21
As a man thinketh so is he. What do you spend your days thinking about is it a benefit to just you or to all. Do you visualize the best outcome for the situations that arise in your life or do you see only what is going on at that moment in your life? It is time to stop allowing your mind to stay fixated on the negative not so good thing. It is time to embrace the vision of what will come out of that situation. Speak life, think life, live life. Life is so much better when you stop looking at the negative. Stop worrying about the things you don’t have control over. You can not save everybody some people don’t want to be saved. However you can pray for them. Lift them up in prayer and let God take control of their situations. Now back to you it is up to you to renew your mindset in order to think the positive in order for positive to show up in your life. It is up to you to cast down any negativity someone tries to speak into your life or your situation. Don’t take hold of everyone else’s words because some words are not of God they come straight from the devil.
“My brothers and sisters when you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience. Let your patience show itself perfectly in what you do. Then you will be perfect and complete and will have everything you need.” James 1:2
We all have things that arise in our life that may try and throw us off course but you must stay planted in the word of God. The word unlocks so many treasures and answers that we have over everyday life. It is fine to have someone else tell you what the word says but make it a priority to know what it say for yourself. Ask God for wisdom and understanding when you read the word. You want God to help you understand the words of the bible clearly because if you are not guided by God the enemy will come in and use those very words against you. Watch your words, focus on the word of God, and definitely watch what others say around you so you don’t absorb it in your spirit.

When does your heart stop crying (revised)
When does your heart stop crying?
The tears come from in the depths of my soul
to long for something that you want most of all.
You see it around you.
In friends, in family but when does your heart stop crying and it becomes a reality.
I don’t want to wipe another tear or have a sad thought.
I want what it seems others have.
The joy, the fulfillment of my God given man.
God gives us the desire, desires of our heart.
Well my heart, mind, and soul all want that God given man.
I try to deny my thoughts. That slight pain so it won’t overtake me but each day is a battle when those you are with turn out to be no good.
The face may change but the story seems to stay the same.
Girl meets guy and it seems alright but after awhile you see that he isn’t the God given man for me.
When does my heart stop crying and the tears fade away?
I know God is preparing me so until then I must give Him praise and wait.
Yes I must wait patiently for it is He who must find me.
Soon my heart will cry tears of joy and that brings peace to my soul.
For in time I cry no more.

He who Finds a Wife
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD. Proverbs 18:22
Ladies now that is what the word of God says. So let us meditate on that verse. You see I want to help somebody today.
The word does not say we need to go out and act outside of our character to get a man to notice us so hopefully one day he will want to claim us as his property. It says, "He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD." Ladies you must allow the man that God has for you to come into your life. Remember the enemy tries to send his troops as well. So you must know what God has for you in the title of Husband. We have all had an instance or more where Mr. So Sweet and Clean has come in and talked a good word to us but surely before long that sweet smell became sour. Now some of us kept trying to cover up the odor but the scent was still there until you got tired of the smell. I hope you are still with me.
Now the Boaz, God has for you may have not come your way yet because God may still be working on Him or better yet God is working on YOU. We must look at ourselves and discover who we are, what we want, what are our strengths and certainly our flaws. No one is perfect we all have some flaws. Focus on the Kingdom of God first and see what God needs for you to do and He will take care of the rest. God is not a God that He should lie. God knows your heart and he knows what you need in your Husband more than you know. We all have our list but God has the right to add or take away from that list to give you the right Husband. You don't have to do anything extreme to attract a man so stop now. Respect yourself and those around you and let God handle His business. As you are in waiting praise God for your God-given marriage nothing less will do. Develop a relationship with God. Allow Him to lead you and Meditate on being the Proverbs 31 Woman for your God-given Husband (oh yeah and some of you Meditate on being Submissive) Love you like the Lord loves me.

Submission Provides Peace
This devotional for me is more transparent into my life at this moment. I feel an urgent need to have peace in this season to just bask in the glory that is our God. To sing Him praises and give Him reverence. I chose this as the devotional to share because God knows our heart and there are others who need this message like me. I asked God, “What is it that I am missing? I try to walk on the right path daily, I do my best to be an example of what your word teaches and says. What am I missing Lord? He answered instantly and led me to:
“Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you. Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored: If you remove wickedness far from your tent and assign your nuggets to the dust, your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines, then the Almighty will be your gold, the choicest silver for you. Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty and will lift up your face to God. You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows. What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways. Job 22:21-28
As I reflect on the power of God and what I was to get from this passage the words came alive. Every area and every thing in my life needs to be submitted to God. I can not leave out one thing because that one thing that I choose not to give Him will taint everything else. For some of us it may be finances, a relationship, or perhaps our children. We must give it all to Him so He can make it clean and when we do He will provide the peace that we are lacking just as calm as the ocean breeze on a Summer day. He speaks to us daily and throughout the day we must be sure to not be so busy that we miss His voice. As we acknowledge Him each day He will direct us. Some things may have to be given up or set aside for a season but surely He knows what is coming and what we need to make it through. Trust His word that He tells you. We all know He is faithful. Give whatever you’re holding back to God. Release it today and He will take care of you and it. Be blessed as we continue strong for this Month. God is still at work.
Peace that surpasses all understanding,
