DON'T SETTLE!.......

Hello guys,

Been a minute!

Hope the long weekend went well...

 So I stumbled on something and just as I was pondering on it, God spoke to me on another dimension entirely and just maybe someone needs to hear this apart from me.

DON'T SETTLE!

@realtalkkim sent these directly to my heart. Ets quickly flip to Genesis 11:31 for a minute.. it says...

"Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went out together to go from Ur of the Chaldeans into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Haran [about five hundred and fifty miles northwest of Ur], they settled there. Terah lived two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran"

They were going from Ur to Canaan, but when they got to Haran.....they settled!..and Terah died there.

Are you on your way to your Canaan? But you've suddenly decided to "rest" at Haran? Sometimes we achieve something and we feel we have arrived. But there is more. There are more goals to be made, more heights to be conquered, more dreams to be lived out and most importantly a purpose to be fulfilled!

I imagine when Mordecai told Esther about saving the Jews, and maybe Esther responded and said "Please Mordecai, I am the new queen, and I have arrived. Even if the people perish, nothing can happen to me" But then Mordecai's words came - "Just what if you are here for such a time as this?" Esther's purpose was not complete without her saving the people from disaster that was looming.

Are you in "Haran" today? Or maybe you are like Orpah and you want to return back to where you came from. Ruth on the other hand found purpose in her "Canaan".

I encourage you today, do not settle for where you were meant to walk through. Work harder, Pray harder, the journey may be tough but Canaan is a land of purpose. The promised land. A land flowing with milk and honey. You can not afford to settle in a place where you were merely meant to journey through.

Have a beautiful week ahead guys.

Peace, Love and cupcakes..

Happy Children's Day! When I was a little girl, I looked forward to Children's day like mad. Knowing we would go and march at the stadium, play, play some more and rest at least just knowing I am away from school. Fast forward to now, being a mother has not only made me appreciate children more, but has also shown me the value God places on them. Psalm 127:3-5 says; 3   Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. 4   Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.  5   Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court. (NIV) Children are an inheritance from God, hence should not be taken lightly. They are such a sensitive blessing we should all handle with care,love, right discipline and in a godly manner. This can not be done without the power of prayer. As a make up artist, when making a client up for an event which would take time, you wou...

When the Heavens are Closed: Excerpts from the Circle Maker - Part 1 We live in a quick-fix, fast-paced, real-time world. We want to have our cake, eat it and keep some in our pockets. We want the instant bread, the instant noodles, the instant results. Because we are surrounded by the technologies that make our lives easier and faster, we tend to apply same to spiritual realities. Unfortunately, Life is not as "instant" as we would like it to be. We need the patience of the planter, the foresight of the farmer, as well as the mindset of the sower. All these three people know  and appreciate the real meaning of patience especially when dealing with biennial and perennial crops. Have you ever prayed or you are continuously praying desperately for that life-changing miracle and you have heard in clear terms that God said yes to it but it seems He has gone on a year-long vacation or the Heavens have been shut against you? Some of the hardest moments in life ...
