Breakfast for Dinner

Hey ya'll,

​I thought I would change my greeting up just a little because of the title I'll be sharing about. I'm not sure if anyone else house hold serve breakfast for dinner, but for me and my house breakfast will be served. Now my family loves a good breakfast for dinner and I love cooking them different types of things for breakfast (dinner). I know sometimes we have some mega breakfast sandwiches or pancakes with a ton of really good toppings. Then sometimes I make some homemade biscuits, rice, eggs, and bacon. Nothing fancy but great for our home. I know you're thinking where is she going with this and how will she spin this to show a relationship with God. 

I believe we get set in such traditions of we can't have something or it's supposed to be a certain way. Well, I can't say I have a traditional household in the aspect of just serving a normal dinner. Then I ask. “What a normal dinner?” If it's past 5pm and you’re eating; whatever you're eating it's dinner. I know that may sound funny but it's true. 

Now with our relationship with God have you locked yourself into a traditional relationship, which means you only read your bible on Sunday and Midweek services, and maybe pray only when needed? Is this the type of relationship you have?  You may have this type of relationship what you saw growing up within your household. This means you attended church only on CEM (Christmas, Easter, and Mother's Day)! God didn't create you to have a traditional relationship and stay within a box. God is bigger than that little box and He loves to mix things up. Why are you trying to stay the same all the time? I know you might not like eating breakfast for dinner but what about not eating at the dining room table and do something else. Like go outside or even in the living room pop up some folding tables. Trust me your kids or grand kids will love the change. Here's something I did outside of breakfast for dinner because I just thought it would blow my kids minds. Now brace yourself because I love getting outside the box and I love taking the limits off of what God can do, which for me I strive to do things way outside the box. Ok, some who read this and know me may say a whole lot outside of the box I love to do. LOL  This is so true, so now back to the point of my outside of the box dinner. I did nothing but desserts for dinner. No seriously. my kiddos came home from school and saw a table full of desserts and I said here's dinner! It was pie, cake, cookies, brownies, and a pear cobbler. Yes, all for dinner nothing else. Now here's the catch that they didn't know until the next day everything they ate had some type of vegetable within the dish! Yes, it ranged from spinach, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and carrots. If you would like more of those recipes or how I pulled it off leave a comment below and I'll tell you.... 

The point of that information was to share that even with going outside of that box, I have taken the limits off my God. I have said, “Why do I limit a God who created a world, and designed my body and so much more?” I use to believe I had to have a meat, 2 sides and some type of bread to serve for dinner. Now just like I learned more about God and taken the restraints off of Him and stop having a traditional relationship with God. I started seeking him daily and I started to understanding how much He wanted to give me more than I could ever imagine. Have you thought about what your life would really look like if you took the limits off of God? Believe me when I say this, He has and want so much more for you. The only thing is your choosing just the traditional basic relationship instead of trying that breakfast for dinner. Meaning try learning more about God, and start plugging into your local church and try to do more to please God. I tell you things will start changing so fast and so much for you. You will see things so differently. 

Do you want to be free and not stuck anymore? Then now is your time to say, "Yes, God I want more of You". Now when you say this really mean it and really go after Him. He is waiting for you. You don't have to have this boring relationship because honey I tell you God has some very exciting things for you and need you to do! I said yes, and now I'm loving my life even more,and not just a boring relationship with God anymore. I'm doing my part and walking out the vision He gave to me. I lead some of the most amazing people and if you're in the Houston area you should come and check us out. 

Now, I ask you will you have breakfast for dinner or just stay the same. Will you go after God and seek Him to get out of the boring same old same old routine you've known for a long time to see what more He has for you?  I would say yes and at least give it a shoot! Don't be cheated out of what you could really have from God!!! Go after that breakfast for dinner and take the limits off of God!

P.S. My church is Phileo Community Church and I would love to see you there. We do church outside the box or what I would like to say breakfast for dinner! :-)

WHOOA!! THIS WEATHER

Hello beautiful,

I'm not sure if you have noticed this weather has been a roller coaster ride all in one week. I know it went from cold to freezing to then ice in for a few days, to now warm I guess. I'm not sure what was going on and I couldn't just drink my wonderful tea. It was so cold I had to pull out some hot chocolate. I couldn't believe how up and down and then the rain. Yes, I know it's not a lot but still the rain here and there. I know this sounds like I'm complaining but I want you to see how we react to everything in such a negative way. 

Let's recap this weather for the week. God showed us something so amazing with the wonderful rain and then the beautiful white ice or snow. How often do we in the Southeast Texas get to experience a chance to look out our windows and see the most breathtaking sight of nothing but white. It was icicles and the grounds were covered in white ice. Some people get snow but we got ice. Yesss!!! So amazing! Then we broke records in temperatures being 19 degrees. Gasp for air because this area hasn't had that type of weather since 1989. 

Now let's look at our relationship with God. How cold do we get when things are going so well and we're really enjoying ourselves. We turn our relationship off or we don't pray and study as much as we should when things are going so well. Then as soon as we get into trouble or a storm arises we get really hot and on fire for God. Why do we do this? Why do we change so drastically with our relationship with God? Simple we act just like the weather because we don't have a true and deep relationship with God. This can be from a few things of didn't learn how to have a true relationship or even only treat God like He's right here as a natural man. Just depends on how you view it or what has been taught and understood. 

I believe we should evaluate our relationship because we shouldn't have an up and down relationship with God. Our relationship with him should be a good relationship in the way of we want to learn more about Him and we want to have a close and intimate relationship. We should be amazed at all He does for us on a daily bases. It shouldn't be only when things are going bad in our lives we want more of Him. We should prepare to want more of Him during the great times of our lives because that's Him showing His self to us. When things are going bad these are the times He wants us to cry out to Him so he can show Himself to us in a different way. Through the good times or the bad times we need God and our relationship with Him shouldn’t change just because it’s good or if it’s bad. Our relationship shouldn’t reflect and be on a roller coaster ride like the weather but a pure and genuine relationship with God. Loving Him for whom He is in our lives and not just for what He can do for us.  Run toward Him, invest your time in Him, and dive deep into what He has for you.  Don’t be like the weather but be more like God every single day, which is to love all and display Him in everything you do and say.

Wait It's TEA TIME!!

Greetings Beautiful,

I had a fun and unique Saturday but was rushing and hanging with my kiddos that I didn't post my blog. I was so shocked when it flashed in my mind that I haven't posted yet. I couldn't believe I had missed the opportunity to really fellowship with God and to give the blog you will be reading. How could this have a happened? Simple, I get super excited when all 4 of my wonderful children say, “Mom we're going with you to the stores"! Then I get all excited and start rushing and doing hair and getting things lined up so they can have a great time with me for the day. Normally I rush off early before they get up on a Saturday, but this time they was up and ready to jet off with me. I love these moments because I'm not sure how long these moments of all 4 thinks it's super cool to follow mom to the stores on a Saturday. 

Now you’re thinking that's a great thing, and yes it is an amazing thing. We went everywhere this Saturday. To the farmers market and all types of stores we went too. Yes, the farmers markets are really nice and we buy things we don't have access too such as pickles like those flavored pickles and fried plantains. Soo yummy... then I heard in my spirit when I got home was wait it's my time. Now, that was Holy Spirit reminding me that I had skipped out on our time together. No not just my regular prayer time, but our intimate time of us being together and me listening and getting things for my blogs. He talks to me about how He saw I could have done things better or different throughout the week. I love those moments and I allow my excitement to rob me of that time. That's no real excuse because I should have just said to my kids wait it's tea time. They would have understood that I needed to have my special time with God. 

What other things do we allow to pull us away from our time with the Lord, no our special and intimate time with Him? He wants us to spend these moments with Him so He can really talk to us and we can talk to Him. He's our Father so we should have a ton to say to Him just like He has a ton to say to us. You're thinking I pray every day and yes you do but how long are you really spending the time with Him. Just time to bask in His Glory and feel His presence upon your face. God wants these moments with you and you should desire these special moments with Him. I had to repent because I pushed Him aside to go hang with my kids not for a few hours but we was hanging out like all day. I loved every minute of it. We went from store to store trying cool snacks, looking at new items that just hit the shelves. Oh it was so great! We should spend as much time as we can with our children. 

Oh my gosh!!! Did you just notice how I started moving toward sharing about my amazing children and what we did Saturday? Yes, just that simple we can get pulled off of our moments with God. We have to get this phrase in our minds and hearts, “wait it's tea time". You will know that you have to stop and get that time in with God. We have to stop allowing everything and anything get in our way to spend with God. I love God and our relationship that we have, but even me a Pastor gets off focused from time to time. I have to get back on track and do what I need to do. This means I repent and strive for the mark the next time around. This is the times you can cast all your cares on God and really hear what He thinks and how you can solve every issue. He will tell you how much He loves you, how much He cares for you, and will tell you how He kept you safe all week. He will even tell you about the amazing moments He has created for you during the week. As you can see a lot will go on in this special time, and you need these moments. 

We have to spend time with God as often as we can and we have to push for that time. We must create those moments or we will miss those moments. Don't miss those moments! Take the time and just say wait it's tea time and spend time with God. You need those moments!

P.S. Those are the best moments and you can really enjoy your tea without any interruptions!

To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV

Was it all that you dreamed of

Top of the morning!!

This is our first official weekend of the 2018! Was it what you dreamed it would be or was it just another year? The same old things you always do every January? I sure hope not, because we just had the new tea and a new promise all for a New Year. You may have had a great week then celebrate, because many more great weeks to come your way. If you didn't have the best week just known you too have many great weeks ahead of you also. I believe on New Year's Eve you hear so much of excitement either you spent the New Year's Eve at church or with friends and family you get excited. You hear vision being taught, or goals being set. This excites you and you get fired up. So what happens when it doesn't happen in the first week?

Do you give up or do you shift and hold on to the promises and goals you have set? I know for me it was a busy week somewhat. I knew I had somethings that had to be taken care of but I didn't allow those things to derail me from my goals. I didn't mention this in my last blog but I'm working on a devotional book. I can't wait; I've been praying and writing. My beautiful kiddos are on Holiday at their grandmothers so a lot of quite time for me. While, kind of because I still have the dogs. Love them too. Back to the point I was making of knowing you'll have somethings you have to do but plan them as much as possible. You can create every week the way you want it to go. I know it will be somethings that are not planned and you have to take care of it but don't let those few things stop you. Keep going after that dream. 

This week with my new teas and I have really tasted different types and I hope you have too. Don't allow it to stop just for the New Year's Eve but keep it going. Make those dreams become reality. 

I know I would like for you to just write down a few things that will help you next week with staying focused and going after your dreams. I mean right after you finish the blog or just stop and do it right now. I think writing it down and making it clear will help you see every day and it will be a great reminder of what you're going after. You can enjoy life or just allow everything around make your life hard or complicated.  Again rethink this week? Was it really a bad week or was it the way you dreamed it would be? Sometimes you can dream something that is not great because you don't expect anything great to happen. It's all about what you dreamed because you have the control of what you want to see happen in your life. Yes, life does happen but you can change by applying the Word of God as well as speaking and thinking positive. 


Hebrews 11:1-3 NLT
'Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation. By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.'P.S IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR!!!
