He tried it!!!!

Greetings my wonderful Sister/ Brother,

I know the title alone made you stop and think just a moment. I'm sure you was thinking yasss honey say it! Guess what I am!!! My tea for you today is the enemy tried it! Grab your hot,warm, or cold cup of tea and dive right into this blog today. 

So a week or so ago the enemy tried to take over my baby's body. It started with a fever he tried to keep her in that state for a very long time. I'm not sure about you but I don't like when either one of my babies to get sick. I know I don't have babies my children are 14,12,8, and 6 and the enemy tried to take over my six year old baby girl. I'm a true mommy to the heart when it comes to my kids so I will call them my babies until I don't know, I die I guess. What about you, do you call your kids even if they're grown your babies or does the language change on how you address them? Share in the comments below. Ok, back to my point I was making! My baby had a fever starting on Monday and that fever didn't go away until Sunday afternoon a week later. Now here's where some would have missed the opportunity to focus not on the fever but on the time to focus on God's Word. 
The enemy tries to get you so off focused with just the fever okay. My baby didn't eat but she would drink whatever fluids I would give to her. I said ok, that's a plus and her fever kept rising. Now right there some would have panicked and started doing the most. Some of you might be thinking why didn't you rush her to the doctor on day one.  I was walking by faith and I don't jump so quick and miss what God is really trying to do in the midst of the storm. I kept praying and then that Friday I said okay the fever really high. Now mind you I was giving her medicines to get the fever to go away. But that devil really tried and oh get's deeper after that Friday. So we went to the doctor and they gather somethings to run some tests and only to find out everything came back clear. So at that moment I said to myself you tried it didn't you!! Who was I speaking too, no other than Satan himself. My sweet baby girl looked so horrible and was not herself at all. Then it gets worse! I know you're thinking NOOOO IT CAN'T! Well yes it can and it did! 
Drink you some tea and brace yourself for what I'm about to say. Then before you read on just say to yourself: He tried it!! The doctor gave her some medicine and we start giving her the medicines but then she can't urinate! I'm like you really trying it with me. You can't have my baby's body, you can't stop the message within her, you can't cut off the gifts flowing within her so you have to free her now in Jesus name. Now my baby girl didn't potty for 24 hours but then after warfare she did go. I couldn't believe he tried it. The problem is we don't identify it's him the enemy in time. We get caught up in the moment of whatever the distraction may be we focus only on that. I look at it as a storm or a road block and then once I see what the enemy is really trying to do I call it out. I was like yeah, you thought it was going to be easy and you thought I was off duty because my baby was sick. Nope, never, not going to happen, and I was ready. I read that devil some Word and no shade and got him right on together. I had to let him know even if you try it I'm on guard and don't get that twisted. 
Now after that week she is moving and back to her normal self in the aspect of hyper, jumping, and giggling self. That's my sweetness and I love her and I know she has something that the enemy doesn't want her to be able to do. I know this is different from my other blogs but I know I needed to share how I overcame something the enemy tried to stop. He will try to stop you and your family from doing the Will of God anyway he possible can. Don't allow him to do so! You have what it takes to call the enemy out and let him know he tried it but he didn't WIN!!!

Keep drinking your tea and think about your victories you have gain and think back how the enemy tried to stop each win you had in your life! You win every time!! Remember that!!!

P.S. I want you to be my special guest at the Serenity Conference! Kids are welcomed just register each child! Can't wait to see you here in Houston, TX. June 23rd!

Hello Beautiful,

I hope you have had a great few months of just relaxing and enjoying your family. I know I have been enjoying mine and I took a break from writing. Well, really I've been working on other stuff. I'll let you know real soon but I do want each of you to come and hang out with me at the Serenity Conference here in Houston, TX in June of this year. I will have the registration link listed below so you can come and join me and some more amazing ladies. 

Now about this R & R plus some tea. In the morning or even a weekend like today as you read this blog have a nice cup of warm or room temp tea. I mean you should be able to rest and relax as often as possible.  Do you find yourself always trying  to meet everyone else's needs? I'm sure you have and you are forgetting about yourself. The first (R) is for rest and you need the rest and the next (R) is for relax. We as women sometimes to forget we need to rest and relax even when we don't think it's necessary to rest and relax. On days like these we have to think about how our bodies work and we need to listen to our bodies. God created us to work for a while but we also need to rest. Not just at night and are you really getting those wonderful eight hours of sleep every night? I know for me I think if I get a few hours of sleep I'll be alright because I'll drink some amazing tea in the morning and I'll be fine. 

Sometimes we relax and rest from the wrong things. We will put God aside and rest from praying and rest from studying the Word of God or doing His will. I'm not sure about you but I have learned that when you rest on the things of God you seem to go into a mode of nonstop. I learned that resting and relaxing your body and may be your mind, but never rest and relax on the things of God.  My break from writing only gave me more time to spend with God. It gave me more time to  hear Him clearly and understand what He needed me to do. The same for you just rest your body but never rest on the things of God. You can sip on your tea and relax your mind and your body, but don't stop doing the things of God. Don't just rest on things God has asked you to do to build His kingdom.  

I think you should get some R&R and it's needed for your body and for your mind, but don't rest on the things of God. Keep pressing forward and He'll do the rest for you. Time to do some wonderful R&R and don't forget your tea honey!!!

P.S.  Don't forget to come and join me at the Serenity Conference.
