Broken Crayons

 Hello, I know what you are saying, Girl where have you been? What is wrong with you? Well, to be honest a lot has been wrong.  I began to feel like the crayon that you can barely grip to color (Yall know those crayons, the little nubs the ones we throw away). I was in a space that I felt lost and that God really couldn't use me (to color) anymore. I kept hearing him saying, start doing the blog again. But, I was discouraged, thinking what is the purpose God, I am reaching no one and no one will ever see this and it has been too long. But I just kept hearing if it reaches just one then it was worth it.  So here we are. So whichever ONE that receives this Hello. I began to get discouraged seeing people in other states with broken crayon slogans  and blogs (after me) and it seems to do well and reach more than one person (lol). But I know that God can give us all the same crayons and our pictures can still come out different. And if God gives us the crayons but we chose not to color

Oh Lord, I have not been on my Blog in awhile! You can say that my life has been a little (well, a lot😞) hectic. I have been going through so much in my mind.  The thought of actually ending it all has come up often (and dealing with depression I'm not saying that it never will again) but I have Jesus and people Jesus use to help me to know that TROUBLE DONT LAST ALWAYS. Lately, I have been feeling like I am not worthy of anything God has for me and just feel like my hope is on Zero. But, I know as long as we are still breathing we have another chance to Hope again. If you are going through anything right now know that no matter what God still has his hand on you and if you woke up this morning you still have a purpose. You and I are Purposed to Dream, Purposed to Hope, Purposed to Worship, Purposed to Praise, Purposed to Promises, Purposed to LIVE IN ABUNDANCE, Purposed for Grace and Purposed for GREATER. NOW GO AHEAD AND GET YOUR PURPOSE ON!!!!!! HAPPY MONDAY💓🙏

I have been in the oven. It seem as though this last week has been rough on me. When one thing goes wrong it seems as though everything goes wrong. BUT I REFUSE to give up.   But I know that I'm going in the right direction because the devil wouldn't be in my household so much. My uncle pastor always said if the devil is not attacking you then you need to worry; because if he isn't attacking you he already has you. I have thought about giving up on this blog because I just feel like the more I try to influence people to experience God the more I'm attacked in my marriage, my body, my mind, my finances, and in my family. I feel like what is the use. We crucified and rejected Jesus, how do I stand a chance? But, God said if you just touch one then it was worth it.    My oldest daughter was going to an innovation camp and she was getting tired of waking up early (I was too) and she wanted to quit going. It was almost the end of the week and I texted her quitters n

Oh my! this thing has been on my brain for two days. I already had another post but it is still sitting in draft. I have been waking up 30 minutes before my alarm every morning (the struggle). When I wake up 30 minutes early it is still dark outside. I thought that I had at least three plus hours to sleep and when I look  ...umm, no. So I used the time wisely and began to pray and I was so amazed  how God can turn the midnight into day in a matter of seconds. I have been praying to God about a lot of things and I began to hear a soft voice say that's how fast I do miracles. While you and I are still praying for something God has already turned our midnight into day. Color the world!

Some of us are more broken than others. Some of us are broken and unaware that we are broken. We are broken but maybe not in the same place. If you have children then you know some crayons are broken right in half as soon as the crayons leave the box. Just like some of us, we may have been broken as soon as we left the box (the womb). Some of us had to endure being broken as children. Having to hear we will never become..., or feeling unwanted, etc. You get the point. Some of us were broken in the middle stages or late stages in life. Those are the crayons that children just like to break the pointy part off and you see the longest part with the little crayons that you can barely distinguish what it is laying around. But nevertheless we are all broken. Today, I learned a valuable lesson that no matter where we are broken, we are still broken. We should not judge the broken on their brokenness or on where they are broken. Because my brokenness is not where yours is doesn't make yo

You think you are the only one that's broken, that's a mess? You are not !             Sometimes, we think God is isolating us but I don't believe that God isolates us to let us stay isolated. Sometimes the devil will isolate us to have our mind, because if he has our mind then he has pretty much won the battle.  We sit alone and start to believe that we are the only one  that's ever been through something, and that everyone is against us, my pain is worse than their pain. But I have learned it is how you react to the pain that makes other broken crayons able to be used by God and he molds them into a masterpiece. I am reminded of a project on Pinterest where they take broken crayons and place them in a mold then place them in the oven (the heat). When it is taken out  of the oven behold something that looks new, a masterpiece. We (broken crayons) have to go into the heat (experience, trial, struggles, etc.) to come out and become  masterpieces. I have been throug
