God blessed me!

Listen!!!!! God is so good! The way God showed up this week for me. I am so amazed. So let me tell you about my week. I always said that I would be fully transparent with this blog. So first of all, let me tell you. I had been on a raw food for a little over 3weeks and decided to give myself a break. Man I didn't go too crazy during the weekend. I still had vegan food but it was cooked. I had some lime chips that I had been craving for. My original plan was to go back on my raw food on Monday. Monday comes and I go back on it because I got blessed with a new juicer and a spiralizer that I had been wanting. So, of course I had to try a new dish.  The dish was really good. I had it with a side of lime chips (this is where I realized I messed up). LOL!!! A few chips turned into a whole bag (I'm so ashamed) LOL!!!  I go to sleep feeling like I did something real bad. I wake up and then I go to work. All of a sudden, I get this text message from my son with a coupon for Zaxby's. Sidenote: I really love Zaxby's. LOL!! I had been craving Zaxby's since I started the raw food diet but I had replaced my cravings with oranges LOL!! Chill out I know yall saying, those are not the same. Look I have an amazing imagination! Okay so, back to my confession. I get this text message and now Zaxby has been on my mind. So yall can only guess what happened. Yes, YOUR GIRL ACTURALLY WENT AND GOT ZAXBY'S!!!! Listen! The way I devoured that food. You would've thought it was my last meal. My eyes were so big, I was so happy. I had the buttery toast. I WAS LIVING MY BEST LIFE!!! Let me tell you that, that life was short lived. Thankfully I had took off work the next day. WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS HURTING. I was MISERABLE! I felt every single piece of chicken and fries I had. You would've thought I had a complete hangover. That's how I looked. I was sitting on the couch with a gallon of water LOL!!!! Yall don't have to laugh that hard, chill out LOL!!!!! I had to get that story out of the way. I fully intend on going back to a raw vegan lifestyle on Monday (for real this time) LOL!! Please don't judge your girl!

This week I had been feeling a little down. I don't want to say down because I just came to the realization that I want more for my life. This journey that I have been on has been a selfish personal journey for me. I am realizing that I don't want to go day by day just living in comfortably. I want to challenge myself to go further. God has so much inside of me, and I want to be and do what God wants me to do. I want to have all of things that God has for me. This week I woke up with the determination that whatever it takes, I will reach those goals. I have learned so much in the last couple of days that there are laws and principles that we have to abide by in order to get those things that God has for us. I have been so shocked at how much God has shown me.  God has truly been blessing me. When God told me at the end of last year that if I obey Him, He will take care of me. He has really been doing just that. Every single time I try to worry. I ask God to forgive me and say I trust Him and He blows my mind. This week was no different. Testimony Time: God has given me this incredible desire to give. (Proverbs 19:17) I had this plan to get cash out and planned on giving. I knew I had an Orthodontist appointment and on my way there I knew I would have several opportunities to give.  Well, my plan didn't go as I planned. I wasn't able to stop to get the cash I wanted, and I even ended up getting lost on my way to the appointment. (Wait hold that thought) I'm forgetting the most important part of this story. That morning I had begun praying and talking to God about my desires and how I was ready to live the way He desires me to live. I told Him that I really needed Him to give me a sign that I'm on the right track and in His will. I just needed Him to show me something. Okay, so going back to where I was LOL! So, I get to my appointment a little frustration and I was looking for something in my purse. In the side pocket of my purse there was this folded up dollar. I was thinking, where did this come from. I stick the dollar back into my purse and finish my appointment. I get to my car and get ready to leave when I'm reminded of the dollar that's in my pocket. You see that dollar doesn't seem like a lot, but I had this deep desire to give, and God knew my desire and honored it. So, I with excitement hold the dollar in my hand and go on a search to give this dollar. I spot someone and give the dollar to them. My heart was filled with joy. Even though it was not the amount that I wanted to give. I was happy to be able to give something.  The next morning, I wake up and God has me to just declare things over myself and my family. I got to work and I'm just feeling so good. My mom sends us a text in our family chat asking for prayer request. I felt God and I just began to be completely transparent as far as what I'm needing prayer for. I really felt God's presence as I was texting back. 

At this point I'm feeling really good, so I call our family chat just to check on everyone. Of course, my parents are out and about and I'm just working and talking to them. All of a sudden, my parents show me two laptops and ask which one I like best. I have been needing a laptop for a while. I have been doing my blogs and all my writings with my phone. It's been hard but like I said before whatever it takes, I will do God's will. So, I pick the laptop that I like best and then they tell me OKAY, we are buying it for you now. When I tell you, I was so happy. I was shaking and didn't even know what to do next.  I literally just prayed that prayer a day prior, which was for God to give me a sign. I also followed his principle and law to give. Even though it was just a dollar I was still obedient to His command. I have also prayed Amos 9:13-15 over my life. "Yes Indeed, it won't be long now, God's decree. Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once and everywhere you look, blessing! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I'll make everything right again for my people Israel. Listen! God is catapulting me to where I'm supposed to be. Right now, I'm currently writing this post on my brand-new laptop that God blessed me with. This may seem small to you, but it is big for me. God heard my prayer. I just love the way God loves me. I am very intentional about listening to His voice. 

God continues to blow my mind. Man things are happening. I pray that whoever is reading this that this blesses you. I pray that you have a hunger and thirst for God word and will like never before. 

I pray that you guys have enjoyed this post. Please feel free to comment and share this post. God is truly doing some amazing things in my life. I want to continue to share my process in real time. God bless you all!!!!!
