SHE...

Hey Treasures, Happy Saturday, I wanted to take Five Minutes of my Saturday and join.

The Prompt this week is SHE and here are my 5 Minutes before I get ready for my GIG's birthday dinner. By the way, today is my Friday. Just kidding meant to do this yesterday.

Start!
She confesses that she still has many fears.  She knows the scriptures, the ones that tell her fear not, there is no fear in love, perfect love drives out all fears.  She knows the promise in Psalm 34:4 that says as she seeks the Lord, He hears her and delivers her from ALL her fears.

Yet she admits she still has fears. She asks God why.  She cries out to be free from the fears. Recently she became aware of her fear of failure which is rooted in a fear of abandonment that started when her dad died when she was just five years old. Oh my, this has really paralyzed her for so long. The other day as the Lord used her to minister His Word, she admitted to a church congregation that she battles with this fear. 

She explained how this fear keeps her from stepping out many times.  When someone battles this fear one just stays in the safe zone.  You don't want to do much because you feel safe that way. If you don't try or step out, there is no risk that you will fail.  When she was prompted to share this and admitted it, she felt no more fear. The guilt and condemnation of this horrible fear was exposed and now that it is exposed, she can work through it.  She shared how hard it was to admit that to them but that she felt much better after doing so.

Sometimes, we may know the answers, we may know the scriptures but it's not enough just to know, we have to live it out, hold on to the promises, make that declaration and believe the Truth. 
The truth that God has delivered me of ALL my fears so I (SHE) no longer has to live in fear. Oh what freedom that brings.
STOP!

Last

Hey Treasures, hope you are enjoying your weekend.
I am working on a blog post for an event me and my family attended last weekend and its taking me some time to get some research and put it together so I decided to check in with Lisa Jo Baker for Five Minute Friday and see what the prompt was this week and take a 5 minute break and just write.
Prompt is LAST
GO!
At first thought when I read LAST I thought to write about how sometimes I feel like I am last however that quickly changed, thank you God for your reminders.

I know of a love that will LAST.  I can now love others with that same Love that will LAST.
1 John 4:19 NIV, "We love because He first loved us" 
What truth is this small but powerful scripture. A LASTing truth.
Since I know a love that will never leave me, never forsake me, never abandon me, never hurt me and nothing can separate me from this love (see Romans 8 scripture below);  Because of the promises that I am convinced of and that I hold on to, I know that I am loved by the Creator of heaven and earth, my Heavenly Father and therefore, I can now accept love and more importantly give love. I can embrace the amazing love from my husband and love him in return and I can love my family with an unconditional non-fickle love because of the love of God that I have. This kind of love will LAST.
Romans 8:37-39 "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, ³⁹ neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Jeremiah 31:3 "Long ago the LORD said to Israel: "I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself."

I have experienced God's Love that will LAST into eternity and have been transformed. Yes I am still a work in progress and yes my love can be fickle but I have hope in God's love.  I don't want to love others with my love or my way but with the love of God that has been poured into me.

Romans 5:5 NASB "and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."

God's love will LAST through my ups and downs, through my failures and my victories, through my good and my bad, through my doubts and faith, through my fears and my victories and it'll reflect in my love that will last for my husband, my momma, my brother, my nephews, my family, my friends and all those I encounter on this journey of God's LASTing love.

STOP!

Small Confessions

Hello Treasures....

So Today it is time for some fun. I am going to do Five Minute Friday, Small is the word and combine it with Agape Love Designs, I Confess. These are both linky parties so join in on the fun.

Of course I am late to the parties but here are some small confessions...

I go to sleep late and realize it is a bad idea in the morning.

I work better under pressure.

I sell AVON/MARK and really want to build up my online business.

I said I was going to get better at wearing make up everyday but still haven't.

I just had my hair done red ombre and I can't stop saying, "RED HAIR, DONT CARE."

I love red hair but I don't like the maintenance that comes with it.

I should be working out right now but I wasted all my time on Facebook and Candy Crush.

I will not go to sleep without working out tonight.

I have a weight goal I want to meet but not even sure how long it's going to take me to get there.

I really dislike working out and changing my eating habits.

I am trying to embrace my journey and focus on how awesome it is to fit back into my clothes.

I can sometimes feel really small in the Kingdom of God, yet I know God has called me to do BIG things.
I have an amazing husband.

God has blessed me more than I can ever deserve.

So those are my small confessions for today. 

There is no kind gesture that is too small, there is no positive change that is too small. There is no idea that is too small. There is no person that is too small. There is no dream that is too small. You are not small.
You were made for great things. Dream Big!! Go Big!!

My Story through my Confessions

Hello My lovely Treasures,

Happy Happy Friday to you! It's evening time in California, where are you reading from? I'd love to hear.

So today is a unique post. The prompt for Five Minute Friday by Lisa Joe Baker is STORY and it's I Confess Friday with Agape Love Designs and Let It Shine. Since I love both of these link ups, I decided to write my Story through my Confessions.

I tried to write this blog earlier but for some reason, I couldn't get to my blog page so now I am home should be packing for my road trip with Mr. Aguila but decided I needed to put my story together and confess some things I have going on. 

I started a fitness program 10 days ago.This is one tough journey but I am blessed to have a coach who is a Christian and who prays for us. Our challenge group is "Becoming a better wife spiritually and physically".  I prayed and prayed about loosing weight and just for God's help to make changes as far as eating and giving up soda.  I have been delivered of soda and I am so happy about that. There was a time I didn't think I could not drink soda.  The eating healthy and meal planning and cooking is still in the works but I am not giving up. I am drinking my Shakeology everyday and working out to the SLIM IN 6 workout videos.  God has connected me to some amazing ladies to do this journey with.  I will be blogging on this more in detail soon. 

We are taking a road trip to Las Vegas.  Mr. Aguila is going for work and I am going for some much needed R&R. This trip is going to be different, I am taking my Shakeology, my blender and my workout videos. Say What???? Yes I have Decided, I am Committed and I will succeed. So far I have lost 3lbs and I know I have lost inches but not sure how many. I was pretty bummed with the number. I was looking to lose at least 7 lbs. in 10 days but a loss is still good right?  I confess I have wanted to give up each day but learning to stop professing that and instead declare that I am an overcomer and that I will succeed with God's help.  Do you have any fitness tips, healthy recipes, advice for me. Leave me a comment.

This is my STORY. Do you have a STORY to CONFESS?  Go ahead take 5 minutes and join these awesome Friday Linky Parties. 

 



 

 

 

 

    

 
Have a great weekend and I will be blogging from Vegas!!
