GOD Will Prepare a Place for You!

In this season of uncertainty and trying to find my way since returning back to the states I have found comfort in GOD's daily whisper that HE has a prepared a place for me.  Some days when GOD's whispers are faint and I am having a rough day I am reminded of a recent visit to my parent's house for the weekend and my mom telling me that she stayed up most of the night cleaning and getting my old room together as she prepared for my arrival. Isn't that just like a parent wanting everything to perfect for their kids? Although, I feel like I am ready for GOD to reveal the plans HE has for my life I imagine GOD being just like my mom HE is cleansing, shaping and molding me as he prepares me for the next season. 

When I arrived at my parents house that Friday night I felt so special knowing that they where excited to spend time with me and how I felt spoiled (don't judge me...lol). I have NO doubt that when GOD is finished with me in this season I will feel the same way knowing that HE loved me enough to prepare a place for me!

In John 14:3 JESUS tells the disciples "When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am."

Jeremiah 29:11 " For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD. "They are plans for good and no for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

Is anyone else in this season of waiting for GOD to reveal HIS plans for your life? If so how do you find peace in this season?

A HISBlessedOne Valentine

This morning when I opened my eyes I started smiling because I felt the love of my family and literally felt GOD's blessing over my life! As I went into to my quiet time with GOD I was led to the passage Titus 3:4-6  When GOD our Savior revealed HIS kindness and love, HE saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of HIS mercy. HE washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. HE generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 

I am excited that I know the love of GOD not just during Valentine season but that I walk in HIS love every day! Have you experienced GOD's love in your life? I would love to hear from you!

In honor of Valentine's Day I would love to gift you a few Wallpapers! Download them below.                                                                           

Write the Vision and then RUN with Purpose!

Trusting GOD When All Hell Breaks Loose

Last Monday when my boss called me into his office I knew that the conversation was not going to be good. My Spirit had been a little uneasy for about a week so I knew GOD was preparing me for something. As I walked in my boss' office he looked at me with a sad look on his face and said he had some bad news to tell me. As I sat down and prepared myself for the news he told me that my extension request had been denied and that I had to leave Kuwait by 17 January 2015 instead of 8 July 2015.

As tears rolled down my face I tried to gather my thoughts and make sense of what I heard. What do you mean my extension had been denied I work hard and give 100% to my job? As my boss explained my extension denial did not come from him but from my higher headquarters because someone forgot to process my paperwork and no one realized it until I came off the books on 15 December.

I sat in silence for at least 5 minutes just staring at the wall. I eventually got up and thanked my boss for informing me and walked out doing my best to hold it together. As soon as I got to my car I let it all out.....crying and screaming WHY.....why now. The first person I called was my mother and as I explained the situation to her in between the cries and sniffles she of course told me to calm down and then she asked me why was I crying ......do you not trust GOD? She suggested that I go home and turn on my favorite gospel song and just worship GOD and thank HIM in advance for what HE was going to do.

I want to be all the way transparent and say at that moment I didn't know what I trusted. All I knew was I was going to be without a job. I was mad, hurt, angry, confused and the last thing I wanted to do was go into worship. I eventually turned on Pandora and Shekinah Glory 'Yes' came on as I pushed myself into worship even though in the flesh that is the last thing I wanted to do but my Spirit knew that was the best thing I could do.  I cried some more and prayed in the Spirit and when I was done GOD reminded me of Proverbs 3:5-6 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to HIM, and HE will make your paths straight.'

That night came with more cries and during my 2 am prayer I prayed for favor with my current job or that GOD would open doors as I look for a new job. Over the course of the week GOD reminded me why HE calls me HISBlessedOne and I am forever thankful for that because it brought me comfort. 

I ask that when you go before GOD in prayer that you will say a pray for me that I will be obedient to whatever the will of GOD has for my life as I go into 2015! 

Thank you

My First Breast Cancer Awareness Walk/Run

Earlier this month one of my closest friends asked if I would join her in Columbia, SC for the Palmetto Walk for Life/Race for Life in honor of her mother and of course I quickly said yes! I had never walked/ran for Breast Cancer before and I was humbled to join her and I had THE perfect shirt! On Saturday, October 18th I woke up very early to get ready for the race because I knew there would be a huge crowd downtown but I was not prepared for 11,000 people. As I walked up to the park where the race was going to start I saw people with others tshirts on in honor or in memory of a loved one and I silently said a prayer for them and their family. Every step I took on the 3.1 mile walk I saw people smile, laugh and have a good time for this great cause. 

This month has defiantly made me more aware of Breast Cancer and the importance of a mammogram (I had my first one earlier this year at 37) and early detection. You can even create a free Early Detection Plan at www.earlydetectionplan.org.

Also in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month HISBlessedOne is donating the proceeds from the I Am Blessed Tshirt ( the one I had on during the Walk for Life) will go to BoldandBreastless, Inc. The money will help fund seminars held to promote breast cancer awareness, to educate and motivate all women, to include breast cancer patients and breast cancer survivors, assist with participation in health fairs, purchase care packages for cancer patients and cancer survivors to include children affected by cancer, and to provide care packages to family members of hospice patients.

Love and Faith by Shericka Nicole Glymph

God told me a while ago, I needed to share my story. I don’t know how I’m here now, other than God’s grace. When I divorced my 1st husband, I thought that was the worst thing to ever happen to me. When I was eight months pregnant, a woman called to tell me she’d been having an affair with my husband since the beginning of our marriage. I was devastated, but I overcame. I prayed for the love I felt I needed and deserved.
Three years ago, I was engaged to the most amazing man. Our relationship was like something I'd never experienced or seen. Justin was my best friend. We didn’t grow up together or know each other for years prior. I met him on a Sunday at work and by the end of that week I told him he would be my best friend. Without going too much into detail, just imagine a "perfect" relationship. I was going to be this man’s wife. My prayer for the perfect husband was about to come true.
June 12, 2011 a co-worker asked me if I was afraid of death. My response was no, I'm afraid of losing my loved ones. The next day, I found out Justin had been killed. The day Justin died, I died. Love had died. Love had left me and didn’t even say good bye. Love told me to call him on my lunch break and when I called he didn’t answer the phone. Love was killed by a drunk driver late one night on the other side of town. I lost my mind, I lost control of my finances, and I almost emotionally lost my children. For months I waited on death to return for me. I was literally in my bed waiting to die. It took my friend to tell me it would be a shame for my boys to lose two parents, instead of one.
I believe everything I’ve gone through has been for this moment. I’m excited about my outcome because the preparation for my journey has been intense. Each and every man in my life has played an important part in me learning how to love.
God's love and grace brought me back. God heard my cry, and brought Kirk into my life. I opened my heart to a man that was willing to accept me, my flaws and all. God gave me love again. This September we’ll be celebrating our 1st anniversary.

MY STRUGGLES AND MY SACRIFICES WERE ALL TO GLORIFY GOD. I GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY. BECAUSE OF HIM, I SMILE. HE DID IT. THROUGH ME, HE HAS SHOWN HE’S REAL, HE CARES, HE LOVES YOU, AND HE LOVES ME. THE WORST THING THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN IS HIM LEAVING YOU AND NO LONGER LOVING YOU AND I’M HERE TO SAY THAT’S JUST NOT POSSIBLE.

Blindfolded FAITH by Domonique Davis

2 Cor 5:7 says “For we live by faith, not by sight.” You can’t see HIM, but you know He’s there guiding you, you just have to trust HIM. --- That’s what I was thinking when presented with the new His Blessed One t-shirt idea, “Walking by FAITH”. To me it’s like going through your trials, tribulations, or circumstances literally blindfolded while trusting an unseen GOD by faith. You can feel the hurt, there’s so many things going wrong, but you know you’re not alone.
