Welcome to Seek. Rest. & Trust In Him

No really, ask yourself... Say, 'Self - am I getting in God's forever way?'... I bet you either are now, or you have & didn't even realize it.  Let me first start by changing your view on 'forever', because forever is not promised. God never really promises tomorrow... Or I should say the worldly tomorrow you're thinking of. What He promises is His plan for you as it relates to eternity with Him. Some feel that if you're a believer & follower of His word, you're kept today & tomorrow. So then you're invincible to trials & tribulations... Right? Wrong!  You must then ask yourself, 'are you getting in God's forever way here on earth today'? Are you sabotaging the blessings He has for you, and prolonging your current situation(s)... Therefore enduring unnecessary heartache & pain? Maybe. If you can answer yes to either of these: - Are you holding on to bad habits?  - Do you continue to entertain the wron...

You just have to know Who!!! It's that simple.  Is there a particular situation you're in right now that you have no idea how it will begin, play out and/or end? Then you're in good company... As long as you know Who is working behind the scenes, and that there is a 'behind the scenes'. Our Heavenly Father wants us to always remember that He has an ultimate Will that will play out, if we allow Him to move mightily in our lives, understanding that He will get the glory & that it will not always be easy.  In Romans 8:28, it reads - 'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.' So let's recap, because as a believer in God you will be tested (more times than you can count)! You may not know how your situation will work out, but you don't have to... As long as you know Who, Is in control!                       ~ From your s...

Have you ever felt like you were going through a particular situation on your own? Do you find yourself listening hard for the Lord for direction on what you should or should not do? How many times would you say you went to a friend and expected them to understand what you're feeling and/or where you're coming from, only for them to reference a scripture or tell you what you already know? Can you relate to one or all three of the above & say to yourself, 'self, she must know me, because she's hitting the nail on the head'! Well guess what brother & sisters in Christ, You're In Good Company! I'm a firm believe that if I wasn't going through... If trials & tribulations didn't come knocking at least once a week... If I didn't feel moments of weakness. Then I must not be doing something right! You see, if the enemy had you, he wouldn't have to try so hard to derail you on your walk. If the enemy had you, he wouldn'...

For 2018 I asked the Lord to help me with patience... Yes, I did. And so far, four months in, I don't regret asking for it. I've realized that whenever I've gone through good times or bad times, there were times where I felt like it was so much time in-between the situation & the breakthrough. However, during my in the mean time between time moments, I often found myself asking God, 'Lord, when is it my time?', 'When do You plan to show up Lord?', or even 'Alright now Lord, can't You see I can't handle this?'. Yet, when I look back on all those times, those periods in my life were nothing more than a pause...  That was definitely necessary! Pausing during your journey is necessary in so many ways. Don't you understand that He's moving behind the scenes?! In Romans 8:28 , it reads - "And we know that all things work together for good for them that love God and have been called according to His purpose".  In analyzing t...

So, if you're anything like me, you may think that from time to time, you can handle things on your own. That you need to figure out what steps you'll take from A to Z... Then, you'll try to coordinate a backup plan to your back up plan. Does that sound like you, and/or do you know someone who's going through this stage? I don't think it's abnormal... The stage I think of as being a hamster running on a wheel going NOWHERE! It's just not necessary to go through it. Meaning, you're just adding to your process, which will soon be your testimony, but not until HE handles it. Truth be told, it ( whatever that specifically is for you ) has been handled. He already worked it all out, down to the smallest detail that we're humanly unaware of.  What I've come to ask you is, when you were in that unnecessary stage of trying to manage your situation yourself, 'Did you pray first though?'. I bet you didn't. Or maybe you did that quick ...

Do you find yourself going over & over in your brain, what you're going to do next? Meaning, are there situations that you're trying to handle, and right when you think that you've either manipulated the situation, and/or figured your situation out, something else brings your stride to a halt?! I can count more times than I'd like to where I was getting in my own way. Where I was 'sabotaging' my own blessings or breakthroughs. I would try to figure out the situation, even though I didn't know everything there was to know about it. Like the inner-workings of the matter, or others that could/would be impacted. Quickly forgetting that everything & everyone around me has to be on beat with His plans! Well when I get like this, I feel like the Lord is telling me to 'Have Several Seats'! I've ran myself rampant trying to do His work. I know you've been there, when you have a Tyler Perry, Medea moment and you want someone "to get go...

Have you ever found yourself up late at night, tossing and turning, trying to figure a certain matter out? Like, you totally knew that you had to hand it over to the Lord, and that's what you very well thought you did... However, when you turned your situation over to the Lord, all hell broke loose. Many tears formed, a plethora of negative thoughts & doubts submerged your mind & spirit. You just couldn't shake it ( it being what you thought was the enemy all along )! If you've not been there, maybe you know someone who's confided in you about their situation with this. Well ladies & gentlemen, I've been there too many times. I was always quick to say, "I rebuke that", "devil, get under my feet", or whatever other old-school baptist sayings I knew. Until I learned that sometimes the chaos you're going through isn't the enemy, but is the Lord prepping you for your next season. It can totally be uncomfortable! And why shouldn...
