Becoming God's Best!

Happy February loves!

God has been really speaking to me about what to blog for this month, especially with Valentine's Day coming up in less than a couple of weeks and that is to become God's best! The photo above is a book I purchased 10 years ago like towards the end of December of 2010 and I really was buying it for someone else. Then I decided that even though at that time I was in a so-called relationship, that I needed it. I really learned about the scriptures in a deeper way from what I remember and I remember that I wasn't whole. Then less than 7 months later, my boyfriend at that time and I broke up and now it's 9 years later and I look at wholeness in a whole new way.

I'm pleading with you whether you are single or married, to become whole and work on becoming God's best, for yourself. You owe it to yourself! There are so many men and women who are searching for someone to complete them when God created them to become one whole person before they meet their spouse. I watch it all the time where especially as women we will isolate ourselves from family and friends and make their mate their entire being and the reason why they breathe and wake up every day. They have idolized their spouse and put them in a place where only God deserves to be in. I have noticed that many men and women fail to love themselves and look for that love of a spouse.

Here are some tips on how to become whole and become God's best

1. Love God first with all your mind, body and soul.

2. Practice self-care and self-love.

3. Find a hobby.

4. Work on your healing by going to therapy.

5. Go to the gym and work out.

6. Lastly, read your Bible daily, pray and fast.

*Bonus, read my book "All That Glitters Ain't Gold" available on Amazon. :) Here is the link to purchase https://www.amazon.com/All-That-Glitters-Aint-Gold/dp/1794446982/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=all+that+glitters+aint+gold&qid=1580878730&sr=8-1

To hear more of me elaborate on this topic, join me on Valentine's Day weekend at God's House of Deliverance Church at 11am on Sunday, February 16th! I will be speaking on Learning How to Love Yourself! There is a word for you! Details are on the flyer!

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 ...
