There are a few people that aren't on FB but were interested.  For this purpose I'm including this blog so that those that want to follow along still can.  I encourage you to "journal" using the W.I.L.D. methods.  Unless you are accustomed to reading the Word and recieving revelation it's nice to read with a purpose.  The W.I.L.D. is as follows:

W- What is this passage about?
I- What is the main idea?
L- How does the passage apply to my life?
D- What will I do to apply it?

I know I'm a week late in updating it but.... :) Please forgive me!!

Love y'all

21 DAY SEX FAST CHALLENGE! YOU AIN'T SCURRRED IS YA?!

WOO HOOOOOOO!!!!! I am SOOOOO EXCITED to be back on my game and promoting the Word that God has put in my heart.  He recently gave me a new idea to implement...instead of the 40 Day Sex Fast we will do a SHORTER, MORE INTERPERSONAL 21 DAY FAST!
A SECRET group will be created for this purpose of encourgaging and checking in during these 21 days!
The DETAILS OF THE CHALLENGE ARE AS FOLLOWS:
CHALLENGE BEGINS JUNE 4-JUNE 25TH
1. ABSTAIN FROM ALL SEXUAL ACTIVITIES (INCLUDING ORAL AND FOREPLAY) FOR A TOTAL OF 21 DAYS. 
2. MEDITATE ON THE GIVEN SCRIPTURES USING THE "WILD" METHOD. MORE INFORMATION ON THE METHOD WILL BE IN THE GROUP.  (PRAY AND ASK FOR REVELATION BEFORE AND AFTER YOU READ.)
3. JOURNAL CHECK IN AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK IN THE GROUP.  THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE TOO PERSONAL BUT JUST SHARING WHAT GOD IS SPEAKING AND HOW THE FAST HAS BEEN AFFECTING YOUR LIFE (THE GOOD, BAD, AND UGLY)!

TIPS: I encourage you to journal each day, and not just once a week.  It is interesting to see how your life changes over the process :)  I also encourage you to be mindful of the things you listen to, watch, and read.  Be careful of the situations you place yourself in (after all, you wouldn't take an alcoholic to a bar would you?). 
AT THE END OF THE CHALLEGE EACH PERSON'S NAME WILL GO INTO A DRAWING FOR A SPECIAL PRIZE WHICH WILL INCLUDE "SEASON OF SINGLENESS" - BY CIARRA LEATHERS, A SAMPLE PACK OF BODY BUTTERS BY SHENINA BROWN, AND MUCH MORE!!!
HOW DO YOU INCLUDE YOURSELF IN THE CHALLENGE?  JUST MESSAGE ME PERSONALLY AND I WILL ADD YOU INTO THE GROUP.  THE GROUP IS SECRET SO YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND IT, SEE ANY POSTS, ETC.

1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY...ABSTINENCE UPDATE!

I seriously get teary eyed thinking about everything that has happened over the last year.  I not only blog, but journal so I took the time to go back and read my journal during that time.  It seemed like things would never end...things would never change.  But here I am...

For those of you that haven't read the previous blog you should probably get updated! :)

God has continued to press my heart concerning the things that He wants to see happen on this Earth.  I often ask Him, WHY ME!? And He always gives me an answer.  He needs us to be His voices on this Earth because the time is winding down.  The world is heading more and more into sin and we as Christians need to be standing up and declaring what thus saith the Lord.  We as Christians need to be loving on those that need deliverance and SHOWING them that there is a better way.

Recently I talked to God about my book.  I started getting the urgency of publishing it.  I read back over it and asked God "Can I use an alias name?"   I even talked to a good friend and as always, she just said God would tell me.  I was minding my own business, as I am usually doing when God just speaks (lol), He said to me that I could not use an alias and that it was a testimony of HIM and that He would give me favor.  I mean the book is a bit personal...but like He said...I could not have made it out of the mess I was in without HIM!  Just another testimony of allowing God to lead us.

Now on the ABSTINENCE front...I'm still advocating it.  To some I am still pissing off *hehe* but to others, to those that want to really change, God is moving.  And I yield myself completely.  God also put the youth ministry back on my heart, something I thought I was done with.  But I know it's Him...again, minding my own business.  We are still constantly being blessed as my husband now has a new job.  And it seems like the book will be published this year, and I am claiming it!  I just don't know how much I can stress obedience.  I beleive I have said this before; God told me that He was hearing every prayer of mine but because of my disobedience, He could not release the answers to my prayers.  It was only until I lined my life up according to His word.

The thing is if you're going to be all GOD be ALL GOD! Otherwise...let's just stop playing.  I hate to come off being hard but I mean, I just don't know how else to put it.  It's the truth!  I will be back this summer hitting some issues hard, as the Spirit leads me.  My spirit is crying out more towards marriages AND single women so I'm just going to go with God.  Who knows...

I hope that my testimony blesses you! Because my lifestyle has sure been a blessing to me.  I'm not saying I'm perfect and I have everything right because yes, there are areas, God is still working on within me.  However, my heart cries out to be obedient and to please Him.  When God knows your heart and your heart truly wants to change to become a better person, He will work with you!  I found some old prophecies I'm going to upload.  I think this is more so for the unbelievers...I don't know, just being led. 

Well...on another note...I cut all my hair off! So I may need to change that picture! :)
Y'all be blessed... :-D

WOOOOAAAAAAAAH NOW!!!!

HELLO PEOPLE!

It's been a long, loooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time! I haven't forgotten about you all.  I am simply trying to adjust to some pressing issues! 

On the ABSTINENCE front...simply trying to figure out my next moves.  I started a radio show called "Real Talk", but however cannot find the time to RECORD!  :( 

I WILL fulfill what I feel God has placed in my heart to do, one way or the other but I am definitely  trying to be led as well. 

"I's married now" as well...a strong and powerful testimony of God fulfilling His word in my life and his GRACE that was given to me to be obedient in the area of abstinence.  If I know nothing else I know that God is true to His Word.  There are definite rewards in obeying and lining your life up with his request.  I can testify even now that when I do things "my way" they don't work out as good as when I do things HIS way! I like His way much better. 

I really miss blogging and hope to put in some time to get back on it!

Until next time!!!

HEY YALL!!!

It's been a minute!! But I'm still hanging in there strong and standing my ground.  Things have just been HECTIC personally, with school, work, kids, etc.  Now that I'm done with school for a moment, I have a lot of free time to focus back on this abstinence revolution!  I hope that many of you have not lost heart :)

It hasn't been easy but I won't have long before the exchange of nuptials! :) However I will still until God tells me to shut up preach abstinence!  I've been working on my book recently and am more excited than ever to get back into it and publish it.  I've had some setbacks with some changes I wanted to make but God's will shall be done regardless and so I'm just taking some different directions.  Looking into rallies and things of that nature.  Help me out if you have any information on how to spread this thing city wide.  I just stopped in to speak...I'm long overdue for the blog on marriage so maybe I'll have a chance to write that this weekend.  Y'all be good and until next time....

MS. UNPOPULAR

Sooooooooooooooooo.....

This blog is long overdue and although I no longer am dealing with this I'm still going to share it.  I purposed in my heart to be transparent in this blog and to let yall see the good and bad.  Last week was part of the bad.  I went through a slump of discouragement. 

As you know, I challenged you all to a 40 day SEX FAST...I didn't get many hits although I'm grateful for the one that is participating but mostly I just had a lot of people reading the blog.  For one, I'm not doing this for attention or to be "popular" it's just that I really felt like people are ashamed to DO RIGHT.  There is nothing wrong with abstaining from sex until you're married.  There is nothing wrong with seeing if the Word truly works.  But we're in a society where doing the right thing is not acceptable.  And so I begin to feel discouraged because I couldn't figure out how so many people can talk about having sex all day long and NOT BE ASHAMED....and yet those that actually stand for righteousness seem to be ASHAMED. 

Maybe that's why the Lord is using me; I'm not ashamed.  And I'm not ashamed to stand alone, lonely it may be.  But I will admit, I was challenged.  I cried out to God wondering why I had to be the one to be used to bring attention to this?  Everybody else practicing this lifestyle is low key with it.  Yet.....My book is about sex and abstinence, my organization is about sex and abstinence, mostly everything I say on Twitter & FB is related to sex and abstinence....WHY ME!?  Why do I have to care so much about the sexual sins of this city, of this nation.  I mean, everybody else that practices abstinence is pretty much on the "down low" with it.  No offense to those but as Christians our lives should be a testimony to others.  How can you light a candle and put it under a bed?  I almost feel like people are really ashamed to look unpopular or fear social rejection.

I've never really been the type to be concerned about what people thought of me.  When I was sexually active, I was reserved just because I don't feel like everyone should know what I do in the bedroom; but not because I was ashamed.  Whether I was doing right or doing wrong...I was doing me.  So whatever to the opinions of others.  So I really didn't care what people thought.  But the last few days I just felt more and more discouraged and alone.  And then it burned me up that I had a comment to say, "...if she don't give it to me someone else will."  I mean THAT is the society that we live in and yet we as WOMEN don't realize our worth and to VALUE ourselves enough to say, "You don't deserve me."  And us that know better aren't doing a dang on thing to help these women and pull the blinds off of their eyes.  No men are stepping up to say that a REAL man would wait.  But everybodys so "real" these days....yeah?!

It burnt me up because I know that fear all to well.  I feared losing my fiance because of this but instead he went from boyfriend to fiance within 3 months of this decision.  And the date has been set!  If a man really loves you, he will wait and respect your decision.  But it's that senselessness and NOBODY is helping anyone out!!! Christians shouldn't be selfish with things like this!  I got a text at 3am this morning from an old student telling me how my blog impacted her life.  THAT IS WHY I DO THIS.  CHRISTIANS--PEOPLE need to see your LIGHT! 

So, yes, I felt alone; I felt discouraged.  And I prayed...and I cried.  I thought no one was paying attention to these blogs but the number of hits go up everyday.  I just pray that the boldness comes to walk in integrity and purity and KNOW that although it's not the POPULAR choice, there are rewards to being obedient.

I listened to Mary Mary's song, "Sitting With Me" on repeat Saturday morning.  And it really helped me alot!  I challenge you to take a listen. 

So anyway, this is me, "Ms. Unpopular...never asked to be part of the in crowd.".....

Here's a quote from my devotional...something to think about:
‎"Our witness for Christ should be public, not hidden. We should not keep the benefits for ourselves alone but pass them on to others."

REASONS I WAIT

1. God called me to this lifestyle.  For months and months He kept speaking to my heart until it really got unbearable.  I could not ignore it.  I made my final decision at the end of May.  God spoke two things to me **1. He (the guy I was dating) can't be first  to the point where I am disobedient to His voice
**2. I don't have to dishonor my body to receive him because he (my husband) is already given to me

2. I have received revelation on how precious I am to God and how precious my body is.  We are to honor our bodies, realizing that our bodies were bought with a price.

3. Everybody you sleep with becomes your spiritual husband, thus entangling you in soul ties.  This is the reason for all the domestic situations we see going on.  I have found I've been MUCH stronger in dealing with certain things.  Situations where I would have cried all night and acted ignorant over, although hurt, I didn't let it lose my focus as if I would if we were sleeping together.  I only want to be tied to my husband; then and only then will that man be worth my tears.

4. The consequences of sexual sin: there are so many to name.  And it doesn't just stop at STDs; what about emotional damage?  Even when you use "protection" you are not protected.  And things are becoming now where even STDs are becoming drug resistant!  So what does that tell you?  Not to mention children born out of wedlock...I've been through ALL of this and quite frankly...I'm just sick and tired.  If we keep doing the same things, how do we expect change to come?

5.  I have so much PEACE!!!!! You can NEVER imagine until you surrender the PEACE.  Even typing this right now, any other time, I would be angry and responding in flesh.  But I'm not because the peace of God
"which passes all understanding" will keep you.  The peace is really enough!!!

6. I'm so much more focused on the things that will ultimately matter; my children, my career, my relationship with God.  I can hear from God way more clear.

7. The BLESSINGS of obedience!!! I have recieved blessings, upon blessings, upon blessings....just overflow! It's not that God is not answering your prayers, it's that your disobedience closes the door to those prayers.  God told me that He was getting ready to release every blessing I'd been waiting on NOW that there was a door to bless me through.  Sin & disobedience blocks the blessings of God from getting to us.

There are more...more I'll let these 7 sink in for now

Peace Out
