Make Room for More

ForevaBlack family, have you ever desired more? Have you ever felt in your spirit that it’s time to receive, and that God has more for you? Sometimes we can feel when it’s time to remove some things and make room for the things God has promised us. Spiritually, we can be hoarders; we cling on to so many things God has asked us to release. Mentally, our minds can be overpowered by limited beliefs, cycles that no longer serve us, and anxiety... and those things can’t go where God is trying to take us.

Covered or Contaminated?

Are you being covered or contaminated family? The definition to cover is to put something on top of or in front of (something), especially in order to protect it; to be contaminated it means to be infected by something through contact or association. You know God has told us to be mindful of the company we keep in a few verses, but I’ll share these two:

Who Will You Believe?

You know a lot of people think that the enemy can’t play with our minds, but that’s not true. Sometimes we feed into his lies so much we begin to actually believe them, but who we need to believe is God. In our sins and pain, God calls us by our name, but the enemy tries to identify us by our sins. God is aware of our sins and still loves us and doesn’t fill us with shame and guilt, but the enemy will.

PAUSE.

ForevaBlack family, sometimes we need to hit the pause button on our life and the people in it. Let me break that down for you; yes, I know we cannot pause our life, because life moves on, but we can take a break (PAUSE). Take a break, pour back into you and take some time away from the noise in your life. Taking a break and getting rest isn’t you being lazy, it’s you paying attention to the needs of you. I used to think focusing on me was so selfish, but these past two months that is what I’ve needed and have been doing. Pushing the pause button on always putting others first and deciding to focus on what I need.

It Starts with You: Be Real

It’s been a long two weeks my ForevaBlack family, so let’s get straight into it. You ever thought that everyone else around you are always the issue? Yeah, me too. But let me tell you something which is called the truth, sometimes you’re the issue. Yes, I said it… YOU. Sometimes the situations we find ourselves in aren’t someone else’s fault, it can be us as well. We choose chaos over peace and wonder why we’re not happy. We ignore the red flags, we ignore God’s still voice when He tells us something isn’t for us… sometimes we will try to bargain with God, to see if we can stay in a place that was never meant for us. We entertain what we prayed to God to be protected from.

Wait... That's My Name!

Hey ForevaBlack family—today's post was inspired by a friend. In our conversation, I felt as though God gave me a beautiful message to post and encourage someone. Around 10 PM last night, I was scrolling on Instagram and ran across a girl I met at Coastal Carolina, and she posted how she made the Dean’s list. And guess whose name was right up under it? Mine... there was my name on the Dean’s list. When I told my friend how I found out, she says to me “See how God works, He showed you something you weren’t even looking for.” And instantly, the Holy Spirit said you should write about this, there is a message in this.

My Mind, Anchored in Him

Happy Thursday my ForevaBlack family, I am always happy to write to you guys. You know that here, your mental health means the world to me. ForevaBlack is a space where we encourage, we cover each other, we uplift one another; a true safe space. Let’s talk about something that is amazing... having your mind anchored in Him. Keeping your mind on God, and not on the chaos around you will change your life. God knows our end and our beginning, why worry your mind with something God already has in His hands? The scripture Philippians 4:6-7 tells us to not worry about anything, instead pray about EVERYTHING.
