Poetically Saved

Sometimes I just wanna talk freely about life and how good God is. Ya know? No specific topic; just thoughts, emotions, and truths flowing freely as I spend time with God and you.

If you eat junk food— salty snacks and savory sweets, fast food, and the only fruit you consume is in ‘snack’ form your body is going to run horribly. You won’t have as much energy, your digestive track will be out of whack, and your organs will start shutting down as they scream for nutrients...you know the “good stuff”.

Our spirit works the same way. What we feed it will either strengthen us & give us the “good stuff” we need or it will deprive us and starve us. What are you consuming? Social media 24/7? Rap music that glorifies satisfying the flesh? Movies and videos that cause your mind and heart to stray from God? Or are you filling yourself up on the daily Bread of Life— Jesus? Are you being satisfied by His word?

Reflect on what you consume the most & think about how it’s affecting your day-to-day thoughts, words, actions, and reactions. Are you responding from the spirit or simply reacting from your flesh?

If you’re like me, you grew up in the church and heard about fasting. You knew Jesus fasted for 40 days & nights, but the importance and necessity of it was never emphasized. And it wasn’t until you experienced it for yourself that you realized this. Or you’re someone that doesn’t even know what it means to fast or why it’s important. Whoever you are, this episode is for you. I share why and how you should fast and my personal experiences fasting with hopes it’ll help you grow in truth of why we as Christians need to fast.

Hey, beautiful people! In this episode, I just quickly shared about journaling to God and how it’s helped me over the years with hopes that maybe you might be encouraged or inspired to start yourself. A Dear God journal is such a beautiful way to connect with God and reflect in new seasons what He’s done for you and through you in previous seasons. It’s always good to reflect on and remember all that God has done within our own lives especially during times when we need some encouragement ❤️

Sometimes life knocks you down...hard for the 100th time and you don’t want to get up anymore. You’re tired of fighting the same fight & getting no change. You’re tired of being burdened by the same circumstances and difficulties. You’re just TIRED of being TIRED. Because of that feeling, you get off track. Yeah, I know. That’s happened to me, too. But no matter how much you don’t feel like getting back up, ya gotta do it. And I’m going to share how I get back up every time I’m knocked down with hopeful prayers that it’ll help you do the same.

Waiting. Let’s be real: no one likes to do it. Everyone wants instant gratification because we can’t seem to spare even a minute. But in the waiting season, I experienced the most growth and had the most fulfilling experience of my entire life. It was, by far, the hardest season, but the most necessary. I thank God for the wilderness He sent me into. The wilderness is where I experienced His presence the strongest, heard His voice the clearest, and learned how to truly depend on Him alone to meet all my needs. Philippians 4:19 says “And my God shall supply ALL your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” 🙏🏾❤️

Are you tired of being single? Of being the only one that doesn’t have a bf/gf at the cookout? Do you just want God to hurry up & send you your life mate? Well your single season, just like every season of your life, has a God intended purpose. Don’t miss out on what God has for you right now because you’re trying to rush to what’s next.

Ahmaud Arbery. Breonna Taylor. George Floyd. Say their names. Black Lives Matter. They have and always will.

God is so awesome! He has blessed each of us with free will, but let’s be honest it isn’t always easy making the right choices. It’s not always easy choosing to be disciplined and consistent in most areas of our lives. But when we choose God daily, it helps us build better habits, break old ones, and make Godly choices within our lives.
