Love & Reflection 😍

Do you ever wonder how you have gotten this far?  

Praise God for those of us who know. For those that don't, I pray the Spirit of God blesses your soul and you run with the knowledge that the light of God is in you. "Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."

Let's take a look at Love and Reflection.

Once every blue moon, (not the beer- I no longer crave hops and vitamin C. Just Vitamin C Lorrdt! Thank you Sweet Baby Jesus! ) I take time to give myself a deep cleansing facial. Shower, steam, extraction, scrub, lips, brows, nose, etc.. I spend a lot of time talking to God. Honestly, wondering about things that my diet keeps expressing itself through my pores. Jesus... Fix it! fIX ME!!! 

Anywho, during the time of reflection, I see love. A love that I didn't know was working so hard to be released. If I look at my pores, it's the reflection of them that bothers me. Pores turn into pimples from oil, dirt, dead skin, and I'm sure some other scientific explanation is better. For now, it's dirt and oil.
That's exactly how I see my life in this world. I am clearing out 31 years of the world so that the Holy Spirit can Clean Out the dirt and oil clogging my pores and or soul pockets in my life.

See, my life has been filled with wearing a mask. A facade of what this world says is right. Nothing squared with scripture. 

Me squaring my life to scripture didn't happen until I was 25 years old. Well, at least the start of the process. 

So...

Knowing it needed to be done was the first step.

I am now 31 years old. This has been a journey and an adventure, for sure.

In the reflection of this world, I am a woman who knew she was going to be married, finished with grad school, a mom, and stable in a safe and well-paid career. The foundation of a woman who would be able to manage and run a  true home-not a house. As I write this, I hear my grandmother say, "Mi hita, just go with it, stop trying to plan everything." 

I didn't know this then, but I was filled with a fear of never being able to have or provide the home that I always wanted. I was never taught or shown how to do or be Ms. Suzie Homemaker.  I come from amazing parents. Each of them blessed with amazing skills and gifts from God. One of the biggest blessings from both my parents is seeing how the enemy will attack those not walking in their calling based on choices made in flesh. In all honesty, maybe that was them walking in obedience. Only God knows. Everyone's level and growth are different. I just happen to be the eldest child of two parents destined for greatness. 

Respectfully, my parents have shown me a life of walking with God by not shoving or forcing me to have God in my life. Now that I look back, How amazing is God that He would use me, their child, to build their faith. That's for another blog. 

As I end this Blog...

In the reflection of love, I see a woman of God, a rib created to be embraced by my cage (Husband of God (HUG)), mother, businesswoman, and ministry leader. I am walking out the obedience of when I heard God's Still Small Voice and "He Called me out upon the waters"...  and working through Vision meeting Purpose.

Ladies and Gentleman, I am now living a life of identifying how what use to give me horrible anxiety is no longer anxiety- but the Peace of God that surpasses all understanding that Guards my Heart and My Mind, in Christ Jesus.

I leave you with this question: 

At What Point IN Your Life Did YOU First Reflect Back on How much God LOVES YOU?
