Empty recently.
I haven’t blown up the Lord in awhile..
which in turn makes it to where I haven’t been blown up either.
Strange how that works.
The Lord says that we are filled to be emptied again…
The Lord says that we are filled to be emptied again…
If we are being emptied before we are being filled…
that’ll suck the life out of you.
That’s where I am.
I mean yeah I journal occasionally and read a few scriptures
But like getting on my face
turning my phone off
turning off the music
finding a quiet place
Jesus time has been slim to none.
and I wonder why my Spirit has been sick.
Not only have I been lacking those things
But I have found all my attention and affirmation from things in this
physical world.
Don’t get me wrong it’s brilliant and a blessing to have mirrors and hairbrushes
and all that pretty stuff
but when I care more about what the outside tells me than
what my eternal spirit says inside of me…
There is something immensely wrong.
When I’m more worried about the attention i’m getting from the opposite sex
than I am from the one who spoke me into being..
There is a problem.
So this is my confession.
I have a problem.
And instead of dwelling in my problems and pretending i’m good:
I gotta speak this junk out
Because I know i’m not the only one.
It’s so freaking easy to get caught up
and not even realize that our hearts and aching for so much more.
We realize it but we feel like there is nothing that can fix it
So we get discouraged and dive head first into it.
It’s addicting to only care about ourselves.
We are fleshly selfish human beings.
We are fleshly selfish human beings.
Its natural to worry about ourselves only…
But it leaves the most uncomfortable sick feelings in our spirits.
Thats where I am currently.
It’s a gross feeling.
But it’s coming to the light
ergo Satan has no hold on me.
Sucker.
In the past when I figure out that there is a problem
I would typically just throw it up in the air and
“give it up”
but rarely would I have anything to fight it with.
I would give it up and just sit and hope for the best.
That’s no way to fight off satan.
There has to be ammo to shoot back at him.
We learned these things called “declarations” on the race.
Where you just yell things out because the spiritual realm is legit…
and speaking things out really does change things. Whether good or bad.
So we would scream things ou
Here are a few declarations I’m claiming over my life today.
I am free from the junk from my past. It has no hold on me.
I have the Spirit of the Lord inside me and where the Spirit of the Lord is THERE IS FREEDOM.
Where the Lord is there can be no other voices. Spirit come.

My dreams and visions aren’t just good ideas: They are life.
My African babies are waiting on me and I will make my way back to them sooner rather than later.
I have been made for another world but I have the strength in HIM to make it through this crazy one.
I can be distracted from my passion but if it’s from the Lord it cannot be snuffed out.

I’m okay with being that crazy girl that cries about orphans every day.
I’m okay being that girl that thinks I can never pray enough for the sick and hungry.
I’m okay with laughing about how short life is and begging God to speed it up.
I have tasted freedom and I will not let the sick one put me in imaginary chains.

Those are just a few of them.
I am getting my passion back as I type this.
I freaking love the Lord so much I can’t even take it.
It wigs me out how full of grace He is.
How He doesn’t think twice when I run away… he sprints full force after me.
I want more of him so bad that it hurts. I want him to just come here and sit with me.
One day soon.
So along with my challenge
I know i’m supposed to challenge others.
It’s clear that this time of year can get people all distracted
with the physical realm.
It’s easy.

But the cheesy “Jesus is the reason for the season”
is so freaking true…
it’s when he busted into this physical realm
is so freaking true…
it’s when he busted into this physical realm
in human form to blow us up.
Thank you Jesus.
We now have purpose.
So if you too are feeling down on your passions
whether big or small… blow me up

Why not challenge each other.
If you struggle with the dumb things like i do
Why not declare that you are
“fearfully and wonderfully made”

Why not declare that you are

before you head for the mirror
or praise the one who spoke us into being
before we attempt to get affirmed by other crazy humans.
Just a thought.
Let’s get our heads on straight before the best birthday party of the year.
