Don't be Afraid to Share

Have you ever wanted to open up or share something with someone, but you were scared? Your heart told you to, but your mind said don't?

Perhaps your thoughts sounded like this...

"I can't share this! It's too personal!"  "What will they think of me?" "I am the only one who is going through this!"  "This is embarrassing."

I am here to let you know honey, that is the trick of the enemy. The enemy wants to condemn us.  We are people and we are meant to connect and share our thoughts and experiences.  Your testimony may be what delivers you and someone else.  Now clearly that does not mean you need to share EVERYTHING with EVERYBODY. As you become closer to God, the holy spirit will nudge you when it is appropriate to share your testimony or release something.  The holy spirit may even nudge you to go public with your testimony.

The holy spirit nudged me once to share something with someone. This person is someone I only knew for a few months, but I was obedient and shared what was on my heart....well guess what? That person had the SAME testimony. I didn't feel so alone, I felt like I could manage!

However, I will say that as a woman, I realize, that many of us don't share because we don't trust! We are surrounded by catty, vindictive, petty perceptions and images of women. We may even know women like this. It might be you!

You may even be scared your friends are going to judge you.  Honey, you may need some new friends. Maybe you are the listener. Maybe someone has shared something with you that is a bit uncomfortable....try not to judge. Don't be the person that balls their face up, and asks a bunch of weird questions to make that person even more uncomfortable.

Luke 8:39
"Go back home and tell everyone
how much God has done for you."
The man then went all over town,
telling everything that Jesus had done for him.

Let the spirit lead you.....

My First Blog

Hi everyone. I am so excited to finally start blogging!  I've wanted to blog for so long, but I kept playing around. I am finally being obedient and doing something that I feel "tugged" to do. 

I will tell you a little bit about myself. I am a 25 year old native of Petersburg, Virginia! I am a Christian, mom, daughter, sister, friend, and fifth grade teacher. I enjoy listening to and connecting with people....I like to talk and express my thoughts to others.....and I love to journal to God....


I have also embarked upon an exciting, new journey..... a true love of self, love of life, and love of learning..... It has not always been this way....when you begin to find true peace and self-fulfillment, you began to realize...maybe I wasn't so happy before....but God is great! My blog will cover many aspects of my life, and I pray that my testimony, talents, thoughts, and trials may inspire or help someone else. 

Perhaps you have felt the same way I have. We probably have a lot in common! You may feel that there is more to life than just existing....more to life than routine and rituals...you may even feel as if you haven't truly found yourself! Can I encourage you honey? It is ok.....and the first step to finding yourself is just asking.....truth is...I am still looking :) 













You are a flower ready to bloom sis....
