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!

So this first impressions video was taken over a m So this first impressions video was taken over a month ago, but I’ve been loving the @cosrx Snail Essence. I’m usually hesitant when trying new skincare products, but after doing research I wanted to try it! 

First off, what is a Essence?
An Essence is a water-based skin care product that contains a high content of active ingredients. These actives hydrate, protect, and boost the overall health of skin.

An Essence should be applied to damp skin. When essence is applied to clean skin after using a cleanser and toner, it helps restore hydration to the skin cells. When it’s applied before serums and moisturizers, it helps the skin better absorb these products.

Either way is fine. I love this Essence because it has helped with hydration, skin texture and hyperpigmentation. I love it! Have you tried this product?

Even though I don’t believe pain is a prerequisite for growth, there are times where God uses struggles and hardships to correct us. Brings us out of something we don’t have no business in 😂. And, there are times when we're simply being given an opportunity for growth—being "trained" into a deeper faith.

A little vitamin sea and D does the body good. 🌊☀️🌱
in my fitness girl era - saying no, setting bounda in my fitness girl era - saying no, setting boundaries, prioritizing my goals etc.
Things that have helped me be consistent:

✨Being okay with missing out: Honestly, no fomo here. At all.
✨ Recognizing Distractions: Putting your head down and worrying about your journey is the most peaceful thing. Build that awareness of controllable things that has your time + attention. 
✨ Set realistic and sustainable goals: If you cannot make it to workout 5 days a week, do 2. Work your way up. 
✨ Showing myself GRACE: progress over perfection. Showing up to do things that will evolve me physically and mentally is enough. Progress.
✨ Celebrating yourself: Self validation is very important. Get good with celebrating your wins. Value yourself over the outside accolades. 
✨Getting good with systems: My therapist always says, if something goes wrong don’t criticize yourself. Always check your systems. Making lifestyle changes is all about systems (taking vitamins, fitness, meal prepping, grocery list, etc). How do you seamlessly make that apart of your lifestyle and cut out the barriers?
✨ Balanced Living: Still doing/eating things that I enjoy, but having balance is key.

Date Night! 🥂 🤎🌹 In a marriage, date nig Date Night! 🥂 🤎🌹

In a marriage, date nights are a necessity. It doesn’t have to be grand either. I definitely is a form of non-physical intimacy. Hubby and I do this twice a month at least. Here’s where we we went:

@tatianabychefkwame - y’all, I was so happy and grateful that hubby and I ate here. I was so afraid that we wouldn’t get a seat because they are booked out and we were running late. I was two seconds from saying forget it, but Jose said “nope, we’re trying. I prayed.” We got a seat and everything was a 10/10 from the service to the music and the food. I want to book a reservation ASAP.

@citywinerynyc - I’m a sucker for live music and a concert. That’s how we bonded in our beginning stages. I heard @officialjonb was performing, so I had to go. I love me some 90’s R&B y’all!

We had a blast! This night just went so smoothly. If you’re in a relationship/married, how often do you date each other?
