Be Anxious For Nothing!!

Philippians 4:6 ESV "do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."

Hey guys!! It's been a while since I've blogged, I really been working on some areas between me and the LORD but I had to do a blogpost on what the Lord placed on my heart and what I've been getting tested in is being anxious for nothing! For the past couple of weeks I've been searching for used cars and so far the pickings for my price range has been slim. It's almost like I've been wanting to get a lemon and call it a day. I would find myself so anxious to get something that I was willing to choose anything because I need a car badly. I've noticed my patience has been tried and I just can't wait for the search to be over! I would find a car and be like, "this is it!" But I could feel the tug on my flesh and spirit. My flesh says jump for it NOW but my Spirit says "Wait, daughter I have better in mind for you! I'm like wow Lord, and this is only with a car!!

How many of us are guilty of being impatient with God?! "Come on God, bring my husssbanndd/wife!!" "Make 10,000 dollars come to my house right now in Jesus name...do it NOW lord!" "Oh lord give me a baby now!!" "Make this job come quick for me, Jesus!" "JESUS, Fix it!!" We throw our commands at God and we wonder why HE hasn't acted yet! The timing isn't near....keep pressing....keep praying ...He simply has better in store! You may not be able to see what God is doing right now, but you BETTER believe He is working behind closed doors for you! In HIS timing, He will open the right doors and bless you! In the meantime, He is dealing with your heart, developing the fruits of the Spirit on your tree, He is leading you to where you need to be. All the details is really none of your business, leave it up to God. He will blow your mind! Trust and believe in Him.

Honey, God is listening to your prayers! Keep asking, seeking and knocking on Jesus door...surely He will answer and respond according to His riches in Heaven. Place your faith in Him and not what you can see. Believe He knows best and HE has better in store! GOD loves you ridiculously!!

My Story:Living with a Mental Illness

Hello lovelies!! Am I the only one that didn't find out that May is mental health awareness month until towards the end?! When I saw it posted on a girl page, I immediately thought I have to blog my story and tell my readers that I've battled living with a mental illness. Since I found out maybe a couple of weeks ago about it being mental health awareness month, I was so full of different emotions, for this is still a sensitive area for me. Disclaimer: I am not an expert, I do not have all the answers concerning mental illness; I always advise doing your own research. However, I will share my experiences and what it was like living with a mental illness and being a Christian. Any negative comments will be deleted. There is someone out there looking for a story of hope and your remarks can make a person feel rejected and want to be isolated. I'm an aspiring mental health advocate and my hope is to bring people to Jesus. Few facts from National Alliance on Mental

"Why I Chose to Get My Associates Degree Instead of my Bachelors this Year?"

Graduation Day Saturday, May 6, 2017 Hello loves! I'm so excited to announce that I graduated from Schoolcraft College with my Associates Degree in Communications with a 3.81 average!!!!! :) God is so faithful!!! It was nothing but God that pulled me through! I am so ever grateful for the love and support from family and friends that came through for me by their encouragement, prayers, and financially, as a gift for graduation...it means a ton to me (kisses and hugs to all of you). Before and after I graduated, I got asked a lot by people, family and friends, "what's next"? But before I get into that, I want to answer the question that's in the title of this blog-post! I know some may have wondered, that are my Facebook friends like, "Didn't she used to go to Wayne State? What happened?" Well, yes I did go to Wayne State University in Detroit, Mi and a lot happened. After having two nervous break downs within 8 months apar

7 years since my last hospitalization in psychiatric care

Hey Loves, In the month of July, I shared on my Social Media my experiences with Bipolar and Dating, Mental Health and Education, and Mental Health and Ministry. I did Instastory posts on Instagram @sheree.p.braswell sharing my journey because I am not ready to blog or do a Youtube video fully about it but prayerfully one day I will. But I did want to write a blogpost about how it's been 7 years since my last hospitalization in psychiatric care! I've had four hospitalizations and ever since my last one in 2014, I realized that something was truly wrong with me that I had no control over. That I did have a mental illness and I needed to take care of my mental health. I've learned taking care of your mental health should be a priority just like your physical health should be and that it is just as important. I had to learn there is no shame in having a mental illness and I had to unlearn the myths and let go of the stigma around it. I had my ideas about mental illne

7 years of being Single and What I’ve Learned....

Photo cred: Hill Media Group Hey lovelies! Happy New Year! So much has happened since I’ve last blogged on here. I received a grant from Detroit Wayne Mental Health Authority to advance my mental health advocacy, did a mental health first aid training for adults at my church, volunteered at Children’s Hospital with the hematology and oncology department, got accepted to Madonna University for my bachelors. Now i am currently working on a self esteem short book for young women. These past 7 months have been a time of pruning, getting closer to the Lord and strategizing. There were definitely some up and down moments but I’m so glad i made it!! Now that i updated you, the Lord really laid on my heart to blog before Valentine’s Day things I’ve learned in my 7 year time of being single. By the way I love how 7 is for completion! Woohoo ! So here it go: Timing is everything . I learned that at times I wanted a relationship so badly but God was showing me things about m

Be Thankful!

Ephesians 5:20 And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. NLT. Today, may be the day where you spend time with your close relatives, chowing down on some delicious holiday cooking, and plus more! However, have you sat down and spoke to the Lord letting him know all the things you are thankful for--- at all times? The spirit of Thanksgiving should never come from in due season or in certain circumstances but should be given at all times. Let your "thanks and giving" not be seasonal but at all times! For it says in his Word, Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT (Sad but true at times) Sadly, around the holiday season some give thanks to God on Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter and then it's back to them being rooted in their own selfish motives, ambitions and dreams. For some, it may be a time where they sit and mourn
