Are You Ready For Your Husband?

Before you get the wrong idea, let me just go ahead a place things in perspective:

"For your Maker is your husband, the LORD of hosts is his name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth he is called."

So no, this blog isn't going to be about you being ready for your future "earthly" husband, but rather, Your Maker.
It wouldn't be loving of me to help prepare you for everything else except the return of Christ. If this blog would have been about preparing you for your earthly husband, and I gave you all the advice I could give and all the practical steps I could think of, what would happen if Christ came back the day before your wedding? Would you have been prepared for that ultimate Union? Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't prepare for your future husband. I truly believe that we should at least be ready to be a wife before we jump in a marriage. But I ALSO believe that when we focus on being more like Christ, that'll naturally happend. And if we're in tune with the Holy Spirit, He'll lead us into things that we need to intentially learn for our future husband. But the focus should NEVER be that alone. We have to remember that God is our FIRST love. We must value our relationship with Him above all other relationships, and then all of our other relationships will fall into place.

We even have to be careful when it comes to "godly relationships." We'll prepare so much for godly courtships and even then, totally miss God. Say this with me: Godly courships are NOT God. Its OF God. But its not Him. Sometimes we tend to think that just because we're doing something in the name of Jesus, that its all we need to do. WRONG. Even something that is done in His name should never replace seeking Jesus Himself. Are you becoming more like Christ or are you seeking and preparing for a relationship that may never come? And even if it does, it won't satisfy you the way Christ can.

This isn't meant to be a long blog. I just wanted to remind you to re-adjust your focus. Its so easy to get caught up in this world reminding us of everything else EXCEPT Jesus. Don't miss it. Be less distracted, if any at all. Focus on your Husband. ..Your Maker, Because He's returning. You ready?

"And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband"-Revelation 21:9

"But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed."-Revelation 1:7

Love you dearly,

-Your Sis...Mesha.

Confessions of an Ex-Brokenhearted Girl...

I a lmost always cringe with embarrassment every time I think about how much of a mess I was after my ex-boyfriend and I broke up. The break-up was not initiated by me and although I knew we didn't need to be together, I was comfortable. In my heart I knew that God wasn't being honored in that relationship, and had warned me quite a few times to get out. But I just couldn't do it. I mean, well I could...but let me just be honest with you: Sometimes it's just plain hard to obey God, whom you can't see, vs a man that's sitting in your face. I was choosing a human over God! Now had I had been a mature christian... I would have obeyed quickly because I know that Christ is realer than anything in and out of my life AND humans are purely dust with souls that have to answer to Him. So, November 2, 2013 I surrendered that relationship to God. I told God that I was going to serve Him whole heartily and that I no longer wanted to be half way committed to Him. I had ...

For The SEVENTH time, No.

Okay, So I was reading the book of First Samuel the other day. Some of you may be familiar with that story, but I had a little encounter with God and that story was used to convict me of a little situation...(lol) To be honest, I did not plan to study the book of Samuel this week! I was so into the New Testament and studying the characteristic of Jesus, so I knew it had to have been God that led me back to the Old Testament. Okay so, I attend a really big school, and although I have completely gave my life to Christ, with the evidence of a CHANGED life, I am still human . So truth be told, when this cutie walked pass me and gestured me in some way, you best believe my next prayer was, "LORD is he the ONE?". Yes, girl..It was that deep. (LOL) So anyway: I assume that God was so not down with that, I mean, who does that anyway? It's crazy how we are when it comes down to guys. So, we get saved and make the decision that we're no longer gonna date guys that pull us...

Jesus Did NOT Die For You To Be A Couch Potato Christian!

I sit here on my couch in complete "debate mode" on rather or not I should write this blog. In my head..I'm one of the most productive Christians I know, but in reality..... blah. But Why should I write a blog that will completely expose myself when pretending everything is all good is much easier? Why should I expose myself when the Bible clearly tells us to be ready to expose evil. ...not expose ourselves...(ha) "Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them."-Ephesians 5:11 BUT I didn't see anything where it said to expose myself. Well, I said ALL of that to say: SOMETIMES exposing evil can mean ....exposing ourselves. Errrrrrkkkk. Pump the brakes. "Mesha, I am faaaaar from evil. I am a Child of a King...So whatchu mean?! " Yeah, I hear you. But maybe you should consider that you are fully capable of being evil, IF and ONLY IF, you're not careful. And if not EXPOSED, that evil will run c...
