Beware of Familiar Spirits

So I’m back in the Motherland, back to my roots, back to where I began which is here in Little Rock, AR.  I know y’all maybe saying “dang this girl is unstable and has been moving. lol”  Well most of this is true but I was in Colorado with my dad and stepmom (which you already knew that) and it was a great experience but short lived.  CO was a little too cold and just not the place for me.  But I did meet some great people and made some friendships that will last a lifetime.  God always has a way of placing wonderful people in my path.  Well OK so this is not what I came on here to discuss but rather the topic at hand is the overwhelming, thought provoking, temptation feeling that I have had since I got back to the Rock.  Let me paint the picture for you.

So I’m walking around my sister’s house and I feel this overwhelming of a wandering spirit upon me.  Even though I know I am physically and mentally drained my emotions seem to be in overload, desiring to kept and felt safe.  I guess it’s something about being back home that brings me back to the familiar and my flesh seems to be in high gear.  I’m realizing that more now I have to continue to die daily and not be persuaded to the temptations and attacks that my flesh is having at this time.  It’s like you see a familiar face and hangout with them and your emotions and flesh start to get the better of you.  I’m also realizing that I must take myself back to the space in my mind where I was not getting caught up in the physical thrill that is only temporary.  We go back to the familiar because its what’s comfortable to us but my Spiritual Mother once told me “God doesn’t make things comfortable for us because we will get stuck right there.” 

We must keep moving and walking in the works of the Lord and also in purpose and destiny.  We must continuously walk by faith and not by sight.  It seems that the enemy knows exactly what to tempt or present to you just so you can stumble or fall back into old habits, old ways and old states of mind.  For a while before I left CO I kept hearing the spirit say “the Spirit is willing but the Flesh is weak!!!”  Now I understand why I was hearing this.  The key is to not be so easily tempted by the enemy’s tactics but to continue to seek after God when you feel yourself slipping.  As I was at bible study on Wednesday my pastor was talking about temptation.  His quote was to “eliminate the temptation before the temptation to sin!!”   We must stop things before they go any further.  And that is if a man sees you have been on a good road and your head is in a good space, and also you are feeling kept in Jesus, please don’t allow anyone or anything to take you off the flow and plan God has in store for you.  It’s easy to be tempted and fall into sin.  But don’t allow the enemy to plant the seeds to get you off your course.  If your struggle has been in the area of physical desire and you have been keeping yourself all this time with the help of the Lord continue to seek him about your flesh and those desires that may try to consume you.  (Of course, im talking to myself when I say this.) 

Continue to keep your eyes on the prize and know that all things shall be added unto you if you just keep your focus.  “What does it profit a man (woman) to gain the whole world and lose his (her) soul?”  It’s so not worth it but one thing “I Know” is Worth it, you are!!!

Life I Know

Hello Ladies, So I know I have been away for a while and I have come to the conclusion that I am a sporadic writer. When something hits me deep in my spirit or soul I have to take a moment to write it out cause writing is my therapy. This blog is just a bunch of thoughts that were going through my head one day as I was having an emotional day or should I say couple of days. Usually I can shake it off and pray and then feel fine but these things have been beating me to my core for some time now. Any who here goes!!! (Cue music, please!!! This song has so much meaning to what I have been feeling.) To walk around every day wondering aimlessly in a world that’s so cold but still able to be a light of hope and encouragement to others who endure so much pain and emotions. But I look in the mirror and ask myself what about your secret pain, the tears, the fears that you endure. No one knows cause often people are so consumed with their stuff that you walk in this life alone, not alone in...

"You Wonda Y They Call You BITCH!!!"

Hey Ladies, I know my blogs have been few and far between but I had to let time have its way and different situations inspire me to write something of substance and meaning.  I'm sure after this blog I will step on a few toes but one thing I'm not going to do is apologize for being REAL yall already know transparency is my middle name so here goes.   (P lease cue the music before starting to read)   I know some of you maybe thrown off by my title and thinking I have blown a gasket or lost my mind because my blogs are blogs to inspire and uplift but don't get it twisted its still going to do just that except this time I'm coming woman to woman and shooting straight from the hip .  "You Wonda Y They Call You Bitch," is inspired by all those young ladies/ women that feel its ok to call each other by this name but let a man call them one all Hell breaks lose.  Whatever happened to respecting yoursel...

PORN pays the BILLS!!!

Hello Blessed Ladies, Have any of you ever contemplated or played with the idea of pornography?  Well, for me this thought came to mind a few months back.  Allow me to take you into my world and into my thoughts.  After being here in Cali for 5 months, my mind was really messed up because I was enduring so much struggle just to be here.  I was sleeping on an air mattress that started to deflate as well as using other peoples blankets to keep warm,because I had a light bill that was over $500 due to the fact that I was running my heat, had roaches, facing eviction from my apartment, was not working as much with my freelance job and the search for a job was very discouraging due to the lack of employment here in LA.  I feared that the thought of seriously doing porn would become my reality because I already struggled with this thought before I even left Little Rock.  I kn...
