"...But I Feel Incompetent!"

Hey, lovelies! So God has laid this topic on my heart and that is for the feeling of being incompetent. Have you ever applied for a job and didn't get it? Have you ever felt like you were called to do something but haven't stepped out yet because you have these feelings of being unskillful? Have you ever read the bible and felt as if it was just too difficult for you to understand? Have you tried breastfeeding your baby and couldn't get past two weeks? Have you ever suffered a miscarriage and it left you feeling that you were never able to become a mother? Are you working on your degree for school and it feels like you can't finish that degree? Or are you supposed to be in school but because of the feeling of incompetence, you procrastinate on applying? These are just a few scenarios out of many but if you answered yes to any of these, please know that you are not alone. The feeling of being incompetent will leave you feeling defeated every time. I personally been battling with this feeling. I knew I was called to do a Youtube channel since I was 16 years old. That was 10 years ago and I am just now putting stuff in works to create my channel. I'll be honest, I'm afraid.. I do not feel like I have the skill set as other YouTubers but I cannot keep delaying what God has called me to do because of what I think I am in lack of.

There are so many of you that God has called to GREATER things! And that spirit of incompetency has caused you to draw back and hide. Some of you are hiding way deeper than under a rock...some of you are at the bottom of the ocean. And it's time for you to RISE and SWIM! It's time to SOAR, my friend! The enemy has kept some of you bound for so long you are feeling purposeless and stagnant! Well, I am speaking to the dry bones of you and me today and I'm declaring LIFE! All the dirt that has been pilling on top of your dreams, we are blowing off the dust and putting glittery gold there and making your life sparkle. Don't you know you are COMPETENT, complete and made whole in Christ! He has greater works for you to do. Don't give up because life didn't go as planned or because you feel like you didn't reach a point of success yet. If you are obeying God you are more than successful in Him. If you are leading others to Christ you are bringing souls to the kingdom and Heaven is rejoicing. Don't you know you will reap a reward? Don't grow weary in well doing for in due season you will reap if you faint not ( Galatians 6:9).

GOD has a way of doing things. In spite of your emotions, God's light is still shining on you to remind you that you are equipped to do all that He has put before you in the present and all that He has called you to do for your future As I am typing this, I am fighting negative emotions and believing what I am telling you is true for myself as well. May God's will be perfected in our lives and let us be humble enough to receive it in Jesus name. I am praying for you! Keep me in your prayers as well!

Love always,

Sheree B

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 ...

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 id...

Why I Checked Myself In...

Photo credit: VeryWell Mind Hey Loves, First, Happy NEW Year! lol It's been a while since I've blogged. The last time I blogged, I wrote about "If you love me, don't say the word "CRAZY"! I shared in that blogpost intimate experiences of me experiencing Bipolar Disorder with Psychosis (out of touch with reality). I am glad that it touched and informed those who read it but I felt I should wait and share those details in my bipolar memoir in the near future. So instead, I thought I would share more on why I checked myself in... In 2021, I went through many losses and changes. Even with making changes to my health, eating right and exercising felt great and was glad to get some things in order but there were a lot of stressors that caused my mental health to turn for the worst. I experienced anxiety to the extreme. With both conditions, Bipolar Disorder and PCOS, you can experience severe anxiety and depression. It was so hard to know which one was working ag...

"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 mon...

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 ...
