Things We Can Learn from Children.

And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

-Matthew 18:3

Hey y’all! If you follow me on Instagram, you would know that I’ve been talking a lot about my journey to seize self-sabotaging. The root of it all is fear and I think it can hold me back from so much! If I am truly made in the image of God, why do I hold on to this human emotion and let it deter me from my God-given dreams? I mean, I am human and it is a human emotion, however I always like to not only ask myself what I am feeling, but why am I feeling this way. One day, I heard this verse while listening to a sermon from 4ward City Church. The verse was Matthew 18:3- And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” It opened a whole conversation between my husband and I. It was then that I discovered we can learn hella a lot from children!

1) Children are dependent

Children are so dependent. They need you to do a lot and day by day they never fail to NOT depend on their parents, teacher, guardians, e.t.c. It made me question my own dependency when it came to God. Am I just depending on God when things get hard or is He a necessity in my life? I think that is what separates those who are completely reliant vs. those who still have a tight hold on their life. If you are dependent on something you can’t help but to spend time doing it on a daily basis. You thirst for it. You have faith that every encounter will fufil it’s duty. As believers, we need to learn to depend on God daily. This can look like setting up quality time to be in The Word and pray daily. My husband and I recently said every night we would pray together out loud. Dependency means you have to put in the effort to seek God daily. The result of this is clarity and wisdom. “Consistent clarity come from consistent connection”.

2) Children don’t forget!

In case you are new to my platform, I am a full time Special Education Teacher. If i tell my children we are having a class party in two weeks, they hold me to it! Their memory is impeccable when it comes to promises! As believers we can learn a lesson or two about holding onto God’s promises. Whatever God spoke to you in the word or in private, it will come to pass. In those moments when we struggle to believe in our own capabilities, we need to cling to his promises. He promises to give strength. He promises to give wisdom. He promises to always be with us! In those moments of doubt let’s cling to those promises. I plan to write scripture note cards to myself to add this to my self-care routine. I can read them aloud to myself to speak over myself. We need to constantly be reminded of His faithfulness.

3) Children have BIG FAITH!

If you know children, it doesn’t take much for them to believe. If you tell them that Santa Claus is going to bring presents on Christmas Day, they surely do leave out cookies and milk for someone they haven’t seen. Faith is the very existence of being a Christian. If we lack effort in our relationship with God that is a reflection of how much we believe. Lacking faith? In the Word it says “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).

I hope this post blessed you!

Until next time y’all <3

Later!

Growth... Some notes from yesterday’s #SOULfle Growth... 

Some notes from yesterday’s #SOULflection ✨

One thing about growth is that it’s never linear. I have moments when I go two steps forward and one step back. When I feel stagnant, I like to self-reflect and invite God into that convo. 

- Am I being teachable?
- Am I open to wisdom?
- Am I hearing from God?
- Am I willing to do the work or am I being lazy?

All these things can stunt your growth- mentally, spiritually and physically. Cheers to doing the work and keeping God at the forefront. 

🤎 Happy Wednesday

🤎 to you on this Thursday.
#Soulflections is a series on my YouTube channel ( #Soulflections is a series on my YouTube channel (every Monday) to basically discuss topics deeper than face value. I share some of my journey and it creates dialogue on topics like faith, self love, development and growth. I’ve touched on topics such as combatting negative thoughts, codependency within relationships and I just posted 6 Lessons I’ve learned in 2020 (link in bio).
.
.
One lesson that I’ve learned in 2020 is that change is inevitable. Knowing that this pandemic came outta nowhere and my wedding wasn’t as planned, it helped me to utilize and practice my resilience muscle. It helped me to make lemonade out of lemons.

.
What’s one thing that you learned in 2020?
Happy New Year 🎉: I really don’t have many r Happy New Year 🎉:

I really don’t have many resolutions, but to continue growing and developing new habits that will serve me and others. 
.
.
I’ve  realized that there’s no difference between someone who “has more”. Just the habits in terms of time, money and choices is what makes a hell of a difference. So with God AND DISCIPLINE,
I know this year will be everything I need.
.

Looking forward to creating more, being intentional about the space I’m building and staying authentic to Me (me against me). Thank you all for supporting my platform and the encouragement you give me. It’s never goes unnoticed. ❤️
Back in NY safely, thank God and y’all gon get t Back in NY safely, thank God and y’all gon get these vacay photos 😂! 🌴 Cabo was truly everything 👏🏾 and 👏🏾 more! Bae and I stayed at @hotelmarquisloscabos .

All Inclusive ✔️
Adults only ✔️
Food & Drinks on point ✔️
Amazing Staff✔️
Spacious & beautifully decorated rooms ✔️
Breath taking views ✔️

Covid safety precautions were also on point. Guest had to walk through sanitizer booths. Tables were cleaned before we sat down. Hand sanitizer was given to all guest at every restaurant entrance. They had scannable touch-less menus. Waiters wore a mask at all times. I also went in with my Lysol wipes to clean surfaces around the room. The hotel was not booked at full capacity so social distancing was easy. I felt safer there than in NY...honestly.

This was one of thee best resort experiences I’ve had. I definitely recommend booking a stay here.  Can’t wait to come back! I will miss being spoiled here by the staff...they really know how to make guest feel special.
