Let's Talk $

Thank God for weekends because today was definitely a day that needed to come to an end quickly so I could enjoy some rest. 

Needless to say, what started out as a rough day ended up going quite well....in this order as I got home, the following occured:

1. I received a free pair of earrings in the mail from a giveaway contest I entered.

2. Went to church for FNL (Friday Night Live)

3. Came home and was going through my blog "follow" list to catch up on my blogs and saw that I had won an Amazon giftcard from another giveaway contest...

FAVOR ALL AROUND! So today wasn't all that bad....

Thanks Jesus :)

To add on to #2, we discussed finances, with a themed program titled, "The Vault"....Some of what was discussed was 

*Of course God first, & all else secondary. (Ps 23:1)- 

Main Point here: KNOW YOUR WORD, always, always, always have a scripture to stand on. At His Name (His Word), everything must bow!

*Make a budget.

*Have an accountability superior, one who will keep you in line when you'd rather spend more than you have.

*Establish good credit.

*Reduce the number of credit cards you own and use them only when you are certain you can pay them off.

.....And the list continues

Hope you all enjoyed your Friday!

****As a bonus, I've attached a video ministration from David's Company***

God bless!

***Just added, Thursday 10/14/2010, 9:10p....I've decided to do this sale for the remainder of October and beanies will be on sale also***


5% of the proceeds from this current sale going on and the remainder of October will go to Breast Cancer Research!


It's here!!!!
My first sale on my site......Yippee!

Thanks to all of you who have already made purchases, & hopefully you are enjoying and sporting your new items. Pics are welcome, so go on and send them in, don't you all remain shy :)

Anywho, starting tomorrow, or rather, tonight, Wed 10/13 @12:01am CST until Tuesday, 10/19 @11:59p, I'll be having a sale on my site, mainly on the scarves. The site has them priced @ $22, but I'm running a sale of 2 for $30 with free shipping. If you opt to just get the one scarf, it will be $15, but you will have to pay the shipping fee....

Seems fair, right?! :)

Great, I thought so too...... The site also shows certain colors, but if you look through previous posts, you can see the colors offered. Just be sure to specify your color when you get to the checkout page where it says "special instructions for seller".  

So let your fingers do the talking, as your items shall await you! 

♥God bless you all♥

Allow yourself to be broken.....

If I could describe today in one word, that word would be.....STILLNESS!

Today was a day like none I've ever experienced in my life. I went to David's Company Rehearsal as I've been doing for the past few months now and God's presence definitely invaded the atmosphere. In our time of worship, God's glory descended upon the atmosphere and you could see, and literally feel shackles, chains, hindrances, obstacles, etc. being removed. I tried to lift my hands, stand, kneel, bow, but I was literally, STILL because His weight was sitting on me. My arms were frozen at my side in awe of His splendor and all I could do was weep. It was breathtaking! 

God was speaking to me and although the process can be painful, I allowed myself to be broken. It was hard, but transparency in His presence yields favor in the eyes of man. While praying in the Spirit, something Terry Savelle-Foy said kept coming back to me. She said "you will never outgrow warfare, you must simply learn to fight", which led me to Matt 11:12. The manifestation of this scripture was in frontal and proximal view, the devil was seriously in trouble... But it didn't stop there 'cause here came James 5:16....Seriously, I'm telling you, intensity is only a fraction of the word I'm trying to use because there simply are no words to describe the presence that arises when you lay all your burdens down at the mercy of His feet, walking away knowing that you are victorious 'cause God says "it is done". That joy is indescribable. 

After 2 hours, we thought worship was over, then while ministering unto Him again, "Open the floodgates of Heaven" came to me and I began to weep some more. I'm just in awe of Him and I can't hide it! If I've ever been uncertain before, you can rest assure that I know it now.....God is definitely about to do something in my life and the lives of those around me and I'm rejoicing in anticipation of His glory. 

~"Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty~

Be blessed,

Today was a great day!!!!!!!!!!!
Church was awesome, although I missed my home church today, but it was nice to attend another service and actually sit, and enjoy without having to "serve", hopefully you understand what I mean and it doesn't come off wrongly. I'll admit it was different, 'cause I kept feeling the need to help in their media department, but nonetheless, service was anointed. And being that it was their 7th year anniversary and "A Prophetic Miracle Service" [as Pastor Solomon of Shadow of the Almighty Ministries phrased it], it lasted from 12p until about 5, then we ate. All in all, we were there for about 6 hours.....and it was simply lovely!

Anywho, hope you all had a great day today!

And although I was tired and wanted to hit the sheets as soon as I got home, noted from me falling asleep while driving on the way back, thank God for Jesus and His Holy Spirit, I made it safely and soundly! And so I decided to do the one thing that never disappoints....CROCHET! Hehe....so here's my latest scarf!

Enjoy!

No pop/Water Challenge!

Hey peeps,

So....Sept 7, 2010, I started a challenge with my Big Sis and my cousin to see if we could give up drinking pop (soda) for 30 days....Now I normally don't drink pop as much as they do, in fact, not even 1/4 of what  they drink, but prior to this challenge, I had drunk pop more than usual. So I decided to join them.....

For the first two weeks, it was strictly water! No juice, no tea, no nothing, just water....I drank about 7 bottles of water a day, o yea, I was on! Hehe.....

Then the last two weeks consisted of juice and water....In these 30 days, I was also taking the following vitamins: E, Omega 3's, B-Complex and Vitamin C. I had tried to take a mulit-vitamin but kept finding myself extremely nauseated....Still can't find one that works :( .......any suggestions are welcome.


All in all, the challenge was great, and yay for my sister & cousin! Yep, I doubted them (sad face), but I'm glad they proved me wrong....Now let's see if they can keep it up. I on the other hand, drank 1/2 cup of soda this morning around like 2am and it burned so badlyyyyyy......What a way to celebrate....Guess that was letting me know that I don't need it...and I'm listening to my body.

There are some positive changes I've noticed while doing the challenge:
1. My skin is much clearer!!!!
2. I feel better, not so tired as I used to feel.
3. I have more energy now (guess that's the B-complex).
4. And my hair looks and feel so much better!!!!! Serious!y. It's just flourishing, and I'm having less SSK's.  And! I'll be @ APL by December, when it's time for me to straighten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!


On another note, my sis says I look a little smaller...but she says that all the time, so eh.?.
Anywho, laterz!
