Challenge of the Week!

Good morning everyone :) How is your Tuesday going? Praise God mine is great :) The ray of sunshine coming in to my room through my window is one reminder of God's creativity :) How artistic He is :) And how Beautiful all the works of His hands are...that includes you too! You are beautiful!

I don't know about you but I caught myself doing these things : I would jump in and start talking when the person is not even done talking. I talk more and listen less at times (not always though :) ) Even in my time of prayer...I talk at God, without giving Him a chance to talk back. Is it just me or do you find yourself doing the same things?

Challenge of the Week: This week I challenge you to train yourself to be more of a listener than a talker. I challenge you to consciously control yourselves in conversations with people and God. I challenge you to give not a deaf ear but a hearing ear to people and God. I challenge you to recognize that prayer isn't just talking at God it's talking with God. That requires listening too! I also challenge you to recognize that sometimes people just need listeners not just counselors.

"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry," James 1:19

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Refuse to Pretend

Be a Contender not a Pretender! 1) The time Jacob labored to get Rachel was nothing to him because of how much he loved her. Similarly when you love God all the sacrifices you make are nothing..if you truly love Him that is! "So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." Genesis 29:20 Rachel is his first Love..She is representation of Jesus and His Love where as Leah is the substitute ..not the real one. Rachel is the one where as Leah is the second option..not the best! Leah is Religion where as Rachel is Relationship with Christ Leah is Survival where as Rachel is Revival 2) Do not be Pretenders but Contenders "Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people."Jude 1:3 Do not be like people who come t...

Video of the Week : Holding on to You

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23 Teach me until I am broken no more, feed me until am hungry no more! I am Holding on to You!! Today I encourage you to hold on to Him, the Faithful one who won't let go of you even if you let go of Him! Hold on to the one who has you in His hands, to the one who numbered every stand of hair and all of your days!! I have seen His miracles in times of my storm by just choosing to Hold on to Him!!! Stay Blessed<3

When the Music Stops...

Hey Friends, I am trying to honour my commitment to make at least one blog post a month, so here goes July. That being said, please know that I am not posting for the sake of posting. I am trying to cultivate an active listening skill when it comes to each topic I share i.e. I will not post until I am convinced I heard from my heavenly daddy. I hope this is one speaks to you. :) When the Music Stops... This marks the first time I talk about my hubby-to-be on this blog. This man is a Gem! He is a true worshipper, a man after God's heart. He also happens to be an anointed worship leader :) I am not saying that because I love him, I promise. The reason I bring him up though is because one of the very many conversations we have had about music is a good illustration to the point I will make later in this post. He mentioned that it is common practice amongst some parents to hide their kids' musical instruments closer to exam seasons in the hopes of helping them focus...
