JOY!!!

image

Hello Sparkling BW-TEE’S!!!

Sing this to yourself.. “This Joy that I have, the world didn’t give it to me.. Oh,This Joy that I have the world didn’t give it to me.. Ooohhh, This JOY that I have the world didn’t give and the world can’t take it away!” Let me tell you… Do not ALLOW, any one or nothing to steal your JOY!!!

When you have Joy in your life, you will be happen no matter what the devil try to throw at you. He will try too, especially when you living for Christ.

Wear it as it if an article of clothing! It’s something you should NEVER take off… I know things will happen to make you feel a certain way (emotions), but if you proclaim JOY no matter what, it will turn the situation around instantly.

image

(Nehemiah 8:10 says) “The JOY of the Lord is my strength.” You have to know and believe that this is where your Joy comes from. No and I repeat NO worldly thing (clothes, cars, man, children, or even money) can keep you happy! Once the clothes get to small, the car gets into a accident and need work, the man is gone, the children are gone on with their lives, and the money is gone you will have NOTHING! But, these are things that will or can be replaced.. And these things MOST certainly WON’T bring you the everlasting JOY that you think. #Materialistic things will fade

GOD doesn’t change because of your sin… People have X’ED you out because of it… BUT GOD!!! He still LOVES OVES you no matter what. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Now, that should give you ultimate down on the inside JOY!

image

You have to make up in your mind that Today is the day you will release the past, the hurt, and the fears that kept you bond.. and move forward with your Joy.

The devil comes to steal your Joy, no matter what tactics he tries… stand in your faith and know GOD has not given you the spirit of fear, but of peace, love and JOY!

REFLECTION: As I started a new job.. everything is going fine and I like the job!!! Well, one day I was on my way to work and my tire got flat while driving to work. So I call roadside assistance, and they say well we will be there in an hour or so, mind you I have to be at work at 8 am. Frustrated to the MAX!!!!! I started to cry and like Lord why, how, when, and where… I sit and I call a friend of mines and she said..Friend don’t let the devil get in your mind and steal your Joy, you will have e peace and favor on the job. She said cover yourself in prayer… and once the phone call needed I began to cover myself and stand in my faith… it’s not knowing what or where, but it’s k owing that GOD will work everything out according to your faith. I’m still standing in my faith and believing that my JOY is renewed no matter what the devil tries to do!!! I will walk in JOY everyday, because it could be worse!!!

image

P.S.

It’s ALWAYS good to have friends that will uplift you in a time of need, that will speak life and cover you in prayer as well. Thank you Jesus for a renewed mind and spirit! Joy unspeakable JOY this day forward!!!!

Love ya’ll 💕💕

Daddy’s Girl 👫😍😚😎👪

image

Sometimes you ask yourself… What can I do in life to make Daddy proud?? What can I do to make Daddy happy for me??? You don’t have to do much, just be yourself! Every little girls dream is to make their Daddy PROUD!

My definition
D: Do no wrong in his eyesight
A: Always there to pick me up when I fall
D: Definitely my 1st True LOVE
D: Does anything to make me happy
Y: Young or Old…you will FOREVER be my daddy!
S: Share my secrets with you

G: Give me the BEST advice
I: I’ll 💕 you forever!!!
R: Real men cry, and I seen you cry..
L: Life is full of laughter (Our’s anyway)

image

I prayed that my daughter will have a bond with her daddy and her Papa, just like me! When I say their bond is amazing… I get excited when she lights up when they come around. She knows that they will protect her at all times. She said one day: “Mommy, if you do that again I will call daddy and tell on you”. 😨 I’m like oh really? Lol #they stick together #mommy’s out numbered

My Self Reflection:
When I was younger, I thought that my dad was too strict and I couldn’t do nothing! When I say anything, I mean nothing!!! I was upset, and couldn’t figure out why “other” people parents allowed their kids to do whatever they wanted… I didn’t’t like my father during those times, I thought he was mean, strict, selfish, and didn’t care that I was growing up, and wanted a life too (Typically teenager). I prayed and asked GOD to allow my father and I to have the BEST father/daughter relationship in the world. I didn’t want to not love my father nor be upset with him, over something so small. As I grew up, I began to find out the reason he raised me the way that he did. As he began to show me and groom me into the woman I am today with this rules and discipline (back then). He said to me one day..I can’t allow you to do whatever you want, because I LOVE you! I began to think on it… it’s clear now. He paved the way for me to be better, and not allow the vision of others destroy me.. (me doing/see what other peoples parents allowed them to do). Every lesson, is a learning lesson!

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. My dad was just training me for perfection! I don’t mind..

When things are tough, or I have been hurt.. at times I want to run or crawl up in my daddys‘ lap and tell him what’s wrong. (I’m a big cry baby 😭😭:'() I know that no matter what he will fix it and make the pain go away. Daddy’s are our #1 fans, and our protectors and our handyman’s! I just LOVE when I call my dad and say hey, I need you to do this that and the other.. he is “Johnny on the spot”! And never complains… I LOVE that! God I thank you for him!

image

Growing up my dad would make sure that our every need was meet, we had our wants fulfilled too! But, he also made us understand that if you wanted something, you have to go out and work for it. He made us understand the value of a dollar at an early age. My dad was the GREATEST OF all times to me, and no one could replace him (besides GOD). He made sure that before we left for school EVERY single morning, we prayed! Yes, we prayed (almost missed the bus sometimes 🚌) but it felt good and was worth it, knowing that he was covering us with a prayer!

Now, I have started to pray for the little bitty before I drop her off! I LOVE it and makes her understand that while mommy/daddy are away we are covering you with GOD’S protection and his blood. It’s a GREATER feeling knowing that your father has shown you what it takes to live your life and be blessed! I’m blessed that GOD has given me my father, and that I can go to him and tell him some secrets and know that they are safe with him.

image

Oooh..
I forgot to say, I have a GREAT father-in-law too!! He took me in as if I was one of his children and I LOVED me just the same.. he protected me, and corrected me when I was wrong! #daddy #as I call him too  I LOVE you (AKS) 😚😎

Remember, no man can EVER replace your daddy! 1st TRUE LOVE, is hard to replace… I still LOVE my daddy and EVERYTHING that he does for us!

I Love ya’ll,

Mrs. BW-TEE 💕

Discouraged :'(

image

Have you EVER been told: You will never amount to nothing, you will not be successful, you are nothing but (used a term), or even you are just like you father/mother.. nothing but a (used a term).. Well, I come to tell you that those things are NOT true!! You are BETTER than what people have said about you or to you!! These are forms of Discouragement and GOD says; it ain’t so!! You are MORE than what they say, you are MORE than what they think, and you are definitely a chosen vessel that GOD wants to use!

Things don’t ALWAYS work according to plan, but one thing you gotta know/say “I will NOT give up”! No matter how many times you get knocked down, don’t GIVE UP!!! Each time you fall, get back up strong and stronger each time!!

Definition of Discouraged: to deprive of courage, hope, or confidence; dishearten; dispirit.

Being Discouraged is nothing but the Devil, trying to hold you back from your dreams. He says things like this to us: “You will not be able to save money, you will be a failure all your life, or nobody loves me, and even I can’t do this or that”. These are his tactics that he uses to keep you where you are, and sit and worry about these things. Don’t just sit there, because that’s what you thing is true, get up and do something about it! Rule of thumb.. CAN’T should not be in your vocabulary! You should ALWAYS say “I can and I will!!” Nothing more too it. Turn your can’t into can’s and watch how you improve your life.

image

Step out on faith and say: “GOD I don’t know where your taking me, but wherever you take me I will follow”. You have to mean it with your heart and allow him to take you through somethings in order to bring you out and up. GOD was us as Christians to put ALL our faith in him. Being discouraged is NOT of GOD, it’s of the Devil! He has a store room full of things that he want us to leave GOD and follow him with. Oooh, and did I mention the devil was once one of GOD’S angels (😨😱hint hint). He knows the right things to say to make you loose sight of GOD’S promises. But, don’t fall, be strong!!

image

I posted a status on July 3rd that reads: I don’t care how many times I get it wrong in life… I WILL and I repeat I WILL continue until I get it right! #not perfect #willing to learn #not finished I mean every bit of it!!

God stated: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9) If you ALLOW GOD to take the whole wheel (let him lead) you WILL NOT allow others to discourage you, because you will know that GOD’S got you no matter what they say. People are human just like you and need direction and encouragement (even the strongest saint).

image

Learn how to crawl before you walk; and learn how to walk before you can run! I say this because.. alot of people try to take off running and don’t understand how to put the pieces together. Don’t allow discouragement(Devil) to make you sit in the same spot, gone head start crawling to your victory. You gotta start somewhere.

Remember, Don’t be Discouraged and hopeless, be Encouraged and blessed! The ONLY way to do that is trust GOD!

Love ya’ll,

Mrs. BW-TEE 💕

My 3 Month Update!

image

Good Morning Sparkling Bw-TEE’S!!

WOOOW, It has been three months since, I started this blog! I must say that GOD has blessed me, and really opened my eyes and showed me one of my purposes in life. Writing is a gift of mines, and I will continue to embrace it, one day at a time!

This blog has really helped me by letting certain things go, understanding certain things, and to inspiring people with certain things that they may be going through. I share these things with you guys because I have went through them, and want to encourage you that it can/will change with your faith in GOD!!

I’m beyond blessed that you have read it, liked it and shared it with others. #Reach one, Teach one I  have stepped out of my comfort zone, and showed people how they too can walk with GOD and be blessed, if they just believe. (Dreams) GOD is the head of my life, and I will NOT turn back on him. Headed for GREATER and there’s no stopping me!

image

I would LOVE to hear more from you guys…

What I:
•Need to fix
• Say/Talk about
• Any Constructive criticism on what you think I can do better.
I’m all ears, and will take it ALL into consideration. I want to do it right for you guys, You help me and I will DEFINITELY help you! #don’t be shy #Team work

Remember, LOVE GOD first, and everything will fall into to place! Dreams are meant to be made, you just have to follow through with them.

Love ya’ll,

Mrs. BW-TEE 💕

Tithes & Offering 💰💲💳💶

image

•Have you ever wondered why when you get paid on Friday and come Monday your broke?? Have you ever wondered why people around you are steadily begin blessed with increases in their finances, and your not? If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, sit tight and I will explain… 💺💺 (in my version) 😆

You have to be willing to put self aside and know that your heading in the right direction, for stability in your life. Tithing isn’t about GOD needing your money, it’s about you wanting GOD to be first place in your life! You have to give GOD what’s right, and not what’s left! Think about it… #let it simmer

image

He also said will a man rob GOD? Yet in tithes and offering. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye ALL the tithes into the store house that there may be meat in mines. (Malachi 3:8-10) It says ye are cursed with a curse.. meaning you are cursed 2x’s for not giving GOD what’s his. You are holding up your own financial blessing from GOD. You been praying asking GOD to open doors for you… but you don’t pay your tithes/offering. How do you expect GOD to work in your favor and your not blessing him (his kingdom)??? :(😐 You can’t do that! He is willing to bless you and do what you ask, but you gotta do your part too! #teamwork

If you want to be blessed with increase you have to learn how to give, and that more abundantly. You can worry about tomorrow, live for today! If your married and one spouse pays tithes and the other doesn’t… unfortunately, they’re holding up your blessings! You both have an income, and GOD expects both of you to pay tithes off YOUR own income. (One checking account, but 2 paychecks). #honesty #God’s watching

image

GOD likes a cheerful giver! Not someone who’s mad that they have to give ALL/some of their money (to church)… it’s not for you to question what the church is doing, you question what are you doing that’s REQUIRED by GOD! AMEN Amen

God will allow things to happen in your finances to show you what you need to be doing. Listen..
If you get $1000 (before taxes) you owe GOD $100 off top. (10%) Then you put 10% into savings, and the 20% left over is yours to pay bills or whatever else you need. Sometimes it’s a sacrifice to make this a routine, but if you love GOD enough… let say this again: “If you LOVE GOD enough, you will do anything to please GOD.” He will bless you more abundantly for paying tithes/offerings.

image

When I pay my tithes/offerings I say this prayer over me and my finances: “The Lord is my shepard, I shall not want” (Psalms 23:1) Why do I pray that you ask?? Because, I know that what I have left over may or may not be much, but I know that GOD is my provider and I will trust that he will take care of me and any situation that arise. I will not worry about what I DON’T have, but I will THANK him for what I do have!

image

Remember, there’s a BLESSING in every message! Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. (Luke 6:38)

Don’t shoot me, I’m just the messenger sent from GOD. Happy Tithing!

Love ya’ll forever!

Hurt Vol. 1

image

Hurt simply means: cause mental pain or distress to a person or their feelings. Verb (action word)

Ask yourself this question: “What do/did I gain from hurting others??” Some may say A lot and others may say Nothing.. Furthermore, hurting someone takes a lot of time and energy. It’s no need to Hurt others just because they’ve hurt you… What are you gaining from the hurt you’ve just NOW caused???? Nothing at all!!! You’ll possibly will be hurt again, after you’ve tried to hurt the next person. (Think about what I just said) We are all human and GOD knows that, he wants us to come to him to fix us and humble us.

One key point is to remember; Just because they’ve hurt you, don’t stop loving them! Love them from afar, and keep praying for them. This part may or may not be easy for some, forgive and move on. #trial and error #repentance #not perfect #makes mistakes

image

Hurt is ONLY temporary! This world (people) have shown us so much hurt.. Whether it be by words, killings one another, death of loved ones, or even relationships ending.. Being hurt sucks and it sucks bad! Not one of the greatest feelings in the world, but once you overcome it, it’s the BEST feeling in the world. (#now you’re thinking:idea:)

image

This quote says a lot… I chose this quote because you will be hurt many times in your life. (I can vouch for that myself) But, if you keep allowing the hurt to define who you are…then your simple stuck! When I say stuck I mean, you will continue to allow people to hurt you time and time again. (Still saying oh but they hurt me) My saying is: “Okay they’ve hurt you NOW, what are YOU going to do to fix it??” You have to control you… Don’t get comfortable with hurt in your life, it shouldn’t be there forever!!! Learn and understand how to move on from hurt and get better at not allowing people to make the same mistake to you time and time again. Learning how to pick up the pieces to rebuild your strength and walk on.. oh but you gotta do it with a smile! 😄:)😆

Don’t allow these things to make you bitter, allow them to make you better!! Bitter people ONLY try to get back at the next person for doing what they did to them. You can’t live your life based on how others treated you, nor is it healthy for you to do so.

Hurt, is caused by people NOT knowing how to love you, nor how to respect you or your feelings.

image

When people are mad, they will say certain things to you (they may or may not mean it) but… YOU can’t EVER take them back once you’ve said it! Words HURT the most than any other feeling in the world. Go ahead and cry it out, it’s okay! 😭😭 (I’m a crybaby too) #makes it all better to me

GOD says “Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY cometh in the morning” Psalms 30:5 You don’t have to know how he will heal your hurt, you just have to trust and believe that he will do it. #Come on somebody! God is a healer, Amen?!

image

Remember, Hurt is only for a season! It won’t last always, but in order to be okay you have to remember what you learned from the hurt.. Don’t stop there, pick up the pieces; life will be more meaningful once the hurt has passed!

    “TRUST GOD” to heal you and let it go!

Love ya’ll today and forever!

Commitment 💃👌🙏

image

        Just How committed are you????

We’ve ALL said a time or too, I’m in it 100%, or I’m dedicating ALL my extra time to this or that.. But, when the time came for your commitment, to take place; you gave 100% the first couple days; and then you started slacking off: not fully knowing it but you did. But, eventually it will be brought to your attention and more than likely you will say “Did I?” Or “I thought I did good.”

You have to do ALL you can to stay dedicated to the things in which you involve yourself in. Sometimes you may feel like you want to give up, but GOD says: “Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY comes in the morning” Psalms 30:5

image

Self-Reflection:
    In January, I like most people decided that I wanted to tone up and lose a few pounds and get that great shape that I ALWAYS wanted. Well, what did I do??? I signed up for a gym membership and Yes, at this point I was winning! I was going 2-3 times a week, and feeling really good about my workouts. Didn’t see any results for myself instantly, but everyone around me did and started saying: “You getting too little don’t lose anymore weight” or “You looking good girlfriend, keep up the good work”. That would make anyone feel good, right??? Wrong!! I began to slack and slack and slack even the more.. my commitment started dropping to maybe 1 day a week to now NONE! I feel bad, because when I signed up my trainer asked me “How committed are you?” My response “1000%, I’m ready”… well, that didn’t work correctly. I said all of this to say.. Now matter what you involve yourself in just make sure it’s for the right reasons. You can’t stay committed to something that doesn’t interest you, or your not motivated by. But, I will tell you this I’m picking back up my days at the gym. I’m more committed than I have been, seeing the results that I like and plus I’m paying for the membership (can’t let it go to waste) 😂

image

Psalms 37:5 – “Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”
All you have to do is speak it, pray about it and watch GOD move on your behalf. You have to commit to doing what you are praying about, you can slack off because you don’t see it happening for you. Be patient and wait for it to come about from GOD. You have to Pray without ceasing!

With being committed, you have to be down for whatever it takes to succeed! You can’t give up when things get rough L or look like nothing is going right. You have to stick in it win it!

Ask yourself.. what am I committed too?? Are you committed to being a dreamer or a doer?

A Dreamer: someone who can dream ALL day long; but they NEVER get out of the dream mode…well you simply remain a dreamer. This type is committed to hoping, wishing or I could, should or would but…

A Doer: A doer is someone that has goals, plans, and ideas in mind that they want to achieve. Committed to succeed and become better, they put things into action and no matter how much they fall… get back up and keep trying! Don’t stop until it’s done.

image

We have to know that I can do all things through him who strengthens me. ~ Philippians 4:13
Don’t give up on GOD, because he won’t give up on you…he’s able! I TRUST that GOD will help you stay committed to the right things that is meaningful to your life. But, you gotta walk by faith and not by sight. It’s possible, if you believe!

Stay committed to GOD, and he will stay committed to you!

Love ya’ll

Marriage 👫💏💑

image

      Marriage DOES work if you work it!

Marriage is 50/50, and does take time and work!

M: Makes Us one (No more I, it’s WE)
A: Always keep the relationship fresh
R: Respect your vows
R: Remain consistent
I: I’ll 💖 you forever!
A: Allow your husband to be the head and your wife to be a help mate (Bible says so) 😄
G: Good laughter
E: Encourage each other to do better

Marriage DOES ALLOW you to fall in love with the same person over and over again! You just have to find NEW ways everyday. Plus it’s fun too! 😉

Your mate should be your BEST Friend, that you can go to and share everything with them. Their should be NO secrets or surprises that should come about and cause confusion. When things like this happen; you’ve simply allowed the DEVIL 😈😈 to come in and take a seat! (the DEVIL hates marriage) Kick him out, GOD’S got you if you doing right according to his word and by your mate. #he can’t stay in my house

GOD says: Mark 10:9 “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”

And again…

GOD even says: “A house divided can’t stand”

image

But he also says: “A man that findth a wife, findth a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord” (Proverbs  18:22) Women stop looking for your Adam, he’s right front of you, but you won’t see him because your looking for Mr. Right now! Allow GOD to lead you in the direction for love, he may NOT be what you want him to look like… but he will be what GOD has in store for you. Mean the things you’ve been praying that you wanted in a man, may be there but because he’s NOT your type… you will pass on him. Basically, judging a book by the cover and haven’t read the autobiography on it yet. Don’t want to do that, missing ALL the important things it has to offer.

Marriage is a lifetime commitment! And with this commitment you have to consider your spouse’s  opinion and choices that are made in the household. Don’t ALLOW someone on the outside looking in to tell you what to do in your marriage! This is one of the biggest mistake that 1000’s of people make and has caused the divorce rate to sky rocket. You have to deal with issues amongst yourselves, and come to a common ground. I TOO have made this mistake! But, I asked for forgiveness from my husband and vowed to NEVER do it again. (It’s a learning process)

image

Marriage takes each person allowing themselves to be fully committed to each other and NOT willing to give up. But, if you put GOD first in your relationship everything else will fall into place and work correctly. Once again Marriage will work if you allow GOD to work on you!

This is where it ALL began, in Genesis 2: (speaking about Adam and Eve) “That it is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.The man said,“This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

Lastly, when we get married we have to allow each other to help. It’s not being controlling, it’s being humble and submissive to each other. Co sideri g their views, opinions, decisions, and beliefs. This is why GOD added women (the helper) for men. GOD knew what he was doing! #wink hahah

Remember, NO marriage can last without the commitment to GOD and each other! (Put GOD first in your marriage) Also remember, you didn’t say your vows for the pleasing of man… you confessed them to GOD! He is the one who matters most!

Love ya’ll,

Mrs. BW-TEE 💕
