God has a plan

Life can become difficult.  Life can be confusing.  But, if we completely believe in the promises that God gives us in His Word, we can know that He has a plan for us.  God's will for our lives is perfect.  Never doubt His perfect will & His perfect timing.  For it is by faith we walk & live life, not by sight.  Trust in the Lord that He knows best for your life.  Trust Him completely with your life & every detail of every step.  It's much more assuring to know that the person who suspended the stars in the heavens has a perfect plan for your life; so much better than any plan we can even think of. God has a plan.

Start Living!

It has been a busy past few days! I so enjoyed judging the Miss Plus Prairie View A&M University pageant, attending & supporting a charity fundraiser gala, modeling in a Bridal Expo fashion show, & having collaborating meetings on 2 projects! All this to say that just because I'm plus size doesn't mean I have to stop living life. Just because I'm plus size doesn't mean I can't MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Yes, I certainly DO have input into society by the brain & heart I have. Yes, I do have beauty to my hips & confidence to my walk. Yes, I am worthy even as a full figured woman! And, YES.... I CAN make a difference as a full figured woman in fashion, in business, & any other avenue my MIND sets itself on. STOP falling prey to society's idea of what beauty & worth is, ladies. A few years ago I made the decision to seize life & start living; to love WHO I was WHERE I was. I encourage ALL women to do the same. You wi...

Maintaining our vessels

Image
Does your oil need to be changed, or your tires balanced? It's wise for us to visit the garage for mending & maintenance on our bodily vessels. Whether it's spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical; whatever it is... let's keep a check on the balance in our lives. Let's prevent the CHECK ENGINE light from coming on! Keeping balanced leads to being more productive.... Physically AND Mentally! ♥~♥~♥ SPRUCE

God knows...

 When things are not allowed to happen, it's for our own good.  I don't know what's in my tomorrow, but God does.  And, He has ONLY good & what's BEST for me.  When trials do assail, He promises me that ALL things work together for the good.  That slamming door was obviously a huge NO.  I must trust Him on it. I must COMPLETELY rely on His guidance & not on MY wants.  "My" ways are not His ways.  "My" thoughts are not His thoughts.  But, I strive daily in growing to have the mind of Christ.  Growing pains, learning curves, attacks from the enemy can be frustrating.  But, if I totally rely on "He who lives within me is greater than he that is within the world", then I will have peace with whatever door closes..... or simply, one that doesn't open.  God knows... period.

What is your Hope?

My Hope in Christ eliminates all worry in my life.  This world is not my home. I have a GLORIOUS existence waiting for me! When my loved ones in Christ pass away, I KNOW I will see them again. Better yet, I will BE WITH THEM for all eternity! Death is not a period, but a comma in life. We all will live an eternity somewhere--- but the decision is NOW as to where that place will be.  I'm so comforted to know my mansion is being prepared for me right now by the King of Kings, & I WILL BE WITH MY LOVED ONES & JESUS! What do YOU have to look forward to?
