Jesus Still Saves

"I didn't care about me. Nobody cared about me."
Let me explain.
 I cared about making it to work, how I looked, and up keeping an image that wasn't true to who I desperately wanted to be.
I simply desired a life of freedom but I didn't know how to obtain it. So I followed the path and ways that were presented to me.
People cared more about being entertained by my brokenness, keeping their secrets verses allowing me room to walk in total freedom even if it exposed ugly truths.
People cared about how I dressed verses the tears I wiped away at night.

Christ reminded me that Life was bigger than a car, a job, status, title, who hurt me, and having money with no purpose.
Christ gave me permission to care and love me again BECAUSE of my flaws.
Christ gave me purpose.
Christ gave me substance.
In a world that is driving us to care about self-promoting our image, covering up and hiding our scars, and  placing our identity in vanity Christ intervened and gave my life true meaning.
I am ever so grateful that today I can look back over my life and still see His shadow glowing in my darkest hour.
I wrote this to encourage you that Jesus Christ still saves.
No matter where you are in life there is still hope.
Signed,

Human Trafficking Awareness Month "A Survivor shares her story"

I had my first pimp at the age of 21. When people hear pimp they see a guy in a pimped out suite wearing gators and driving an old school Cadillac. LOL I have to laugh. Maybe in the old days but I’m talking about 21 st  century pimps. They rock true religion, Gucci, Louie, Prada, and the list goes on. They live in golf courses communities, beach front homes, middle class neighborhoods, and all. I’ve met pimps who own their own recording label, travel with goons and an entourage, and even had a training for the newbies. I’ve seen pimps be called boyfriends and husbands instead of pimp to please the woman. Then I get the question “how could you fall for a pimp?” Before I answer the question I need you to be willing to be open minded. Keep in mind this is my story my life my walk and the experience I had. I’m not sharing this to be justified or to be liked or felt sorry for. I’m justified through Christ and that’s all I need. I will try my best to be as transparent and honest ...

#EndIt#EndIt#EndIt#SexTrafficking#SlaveryStillExist

#EndItNow Men, you want to know how you can end slavery? Particularly sex trafficking?  Learn to value and respect the women and girls in your life.  If you don't a pimp will.  I was sexually exploited by a pimp at the age of 21... Sometimes people find it surprising but I don't.  Contrary to what you may read about pimps or traffickers my first pimp was actually really nice. Well, in the beginning.  By the age of 21 I had met many different men in my life from personal relations, at the job, church, and etc... My pimp was the first guy that actually listened to me and seemed to value me as an individual instead of a commodity or just a piece of a** like most of the other guys I encountered. He actually seemed to care! How ironic does that sound because he would end up being the one who in return sexually exploits me....... When he started changing and becoming like the men in my life I just put it in my mind that ALL men were like t...

What's Your Valley?

The sermon today at church was entitled "walking in the valley" and the scripture was  Psalm 23:4 King James Version (KJV) 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. I knew the Lord was speaking right to me. But what's your valley? What's your struggle right now that you just can't seem to get past? Is it school, a relationship, job, a bad habit you can't break or maybe your working toward entrepreneurship. Maybe you're single but feel that your ready for a relationship and God hasn't answered your prayers just yet. Maybe you feel a bit discouraged or think God has forgotten about u. Maybe you have slipped away from God and desire to come back to him but feel he won't listen or maybe you feel your too far to even know God. Today I want to relay a message to you. The devil is a big fat LIAR and God is in your midst even in your darkest ...
