Faith It Friday-Get it together!

     Yall! Can we be honest today? Seriously, this self-control thing can wrestle us to the ground, count to ten and win! Shew! It has been that kind of week for me. It has been a trying week. In our daily lives, we often come face to face with distress. It may not be one big thing but a series of unfortunate events. Maybe it was an irate client or a child that is acting out. Maybe it is a co-worker who seems to have a fault against you. Maybe, there is something deeper, matters of our hearts.

      Transparent moment. I had to look within myself this week and ask God to search my heart. The things that I know are wrong, I had to bring this before the Father. The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; Who can understand it? I had to repent because honestly, sometimes I don't understand...me. I had to repent for my motives and intentions. Let me tell you, it is a difficult position to be in when you have to look in the mirror and realize, it's you.

      Patience, self-control, and endurance are all characteristics of the Father. He desires for us to be more like Him. We are in this flesh and we have to strive moment by moment. We are not perfect. We just strive for the mark. The word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword and it is necessary to cut through all of the stuff we have in our spirits, that not like our Father. Jesus knows. He knows our sorrows and that is who we must go to. Go in prayer. Go in fasting. Go in faith. We have to faith-it on this journey. It is not by might nor power but by the Spirit of the living God that we are able to push and be more like Him!

 In Faith and Love,
Felecia "Ironwoman" Henderson

Faith-It Friday-Aht! Aht!

Have you ever had to tell yourself, "AHT! AHT!"?  You know, like what you tell a baby when he reaches for the outlet? Like when a child attempts to touch the pot on the stove? I will bring it closer to home. Like when you read an email and you really want to respond with a nice-nasty reply? You know what I mean. Driving down the street and that person cuts you off just to make the next turn and NO ONE was behind you? Yes, that aht-aht! Sometimes, taking a deep breath just does not work.  What about those deeper issues and times when it is only you. Times when people are oblivious to what they did to you. Maybe, they did not do a thing. The times in our lives when we have literally convinced ourselves that nobody cares for us. Times when old feelings want to crip into our emotions and carry us away. Moments when we have truly been offended, yet we do not address it. We just waddled in self-pity and bitterness.  All of these moments can have many roots but God gives ...

Faith-It Friday-I Pray for You!

I spoke with someone today that has been having a difficult time lately. The call was actually a return call about a business-related matter. We started talking and the individual began sharing the difficulty they've been experiencing over the last few months. As you can imagine, we are all experiencing some type of increased mental strain while navigating COVID-19! As this individual began to share the experience, I reflected on my own experiences. I began to share how I experienced high levels of stress and anxiety at the start of the pandemic. I shared my frustrations about the situations that were similar. I shared the moments when all I could do was cry out, JESUS! The moments when I just listened to the word of God on my bible. The moments when I just let the meditation music play through the night in my earbuds. The individual gave a sigh of relief, began to cry, and said, "I thought I was the only one going through this." We immediately went into praye...

Faith It Friday-How to Overcome

     Have you ever been so overwhelmed with the tasks, that you felt miserable? It seemed to be so much to do and yet not enough time. It almost always ends in an anxiety attack for me! I felt this way just a few days before the turn of the year. I took a moment and sat down on the edge of my bed. I looked around my room at all the things I needed to do. I got up and walked around the house and saw even more tasks to complete. I went back to my room and sat on the edge of the bed.       It was at that moment that I stood up and thought to myself, the only way these tasks will be completed, is if I complete them.  As I began to complete one task at a time, I felt the presence of the holy spirit. I felt the comforter. I felt relief.  I didn't complete all of those tasks that night and I was okay with that. The holy spirit revealed me...to me. I had convinced myself, that all of these things had to be completed at one time. It was true. I...
