Just Getting In ♥

My feet ache.
My neck is sore.
My back is in need of the touch of Jesus.
Seriously. It feels like I slept on rocks :/...For about a year...

But I have a job :).
Well, two jobs to be exact.
I am able to drive to those two jobs.
My car hasn't been impounded....yet.
I have a phone capable of doing really radical things.
My legs work.
I can smile despite the mean customers that the world has been throwing me at work.
I can breathe because the Lord first breathed life into me.
And I can say that I am thankful for this busy and long 14 hour day Lord.

One of the things that I am really feeling overwhelmed by right now is HIM.
I can be such a brat and become so anxious and worry.
But HE is GOD.
And I am His.
At this moment in time I am sitting in the palm of HIS hand and HE is smiling down on me.

So CheChe is going to stop worrying right now.
And just start LOVING.
LOVING MY SAVIOR.

My sweet, sweet savior.


Goodnight Loves! 
Thank you all for your encouragement and prayers.
I truly covet each one of your precious little faces :)!!

+Blabbling+ ♥

Today I... 
Went to church.
Laughed with close friends.
Lip synced worship music to the best of my capabilities.
Realized I don't really know much about anything other than what God did on the cross.
Realized that I want that to desperately be enough.
REALIZED I cannot live in forgiveness without His Holy Spirit.
REALIZED His grace exceeds all boundaries and expectations.
Wanted desperately to fly away.
Looked into the eyes of a man who is attracted to me and felt uncomfortable.
NOT with the fact that He was attracted but that it was ME He was attracted to.
Wanted desperately to ask Him "why?" but instead pretended I didn't notice.
Saw myself in the mirror with eyeliner and mascara on and thought "NOT TOO BAD"
Ate enough and not TOO MUCH.
Logged all my food in my food journal! Two days in a row yay!

Almost clapped when I heard a girl gently dismiss the gossip that was coming from her friends mouths.



Cried out to God while the lights were off in Church with all my heart.

Even though I saw and felt nothing I know He was there and is still here with me.
I don't need to understand why He loves me so much.
I don't need to understand HOW He could continually forgive me.
I just need HIM.
 More, and more each day.

BACK from the grave... ♥

Yes... Barely awake but blogging nonetheless!!
I am so glad that y'all enjoyed the second VLOG. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed sharing with you guys about a healthy and natural alternative to all the expensive and chemically. drenched products we all use across the globe. Your comments really made my day this week as they came in because I was just overwhelmed and exhausted (still currently exhausted) with all that I'm doing.


The two job thing definitely isn't something that I would recommend ANYONE do unless necessary. It not only adds to your exhaustion tank but I just see my face and I look so hollow under my eyes! The brightness that a great nights rest combined with time off during the day can promote on women faces seems quite dull and ragged these last few days. lol If I am being quite honest I'll also admit I have resulted to wearing jet black eyeliner rimmed around my eyes so that I don't draw attention to my sleepless face. ha ha

WH|BM is amazing. I love the product and I love the staff. I had my first $BLING$ sale or big BONUS which was pretty nice because that is extra cash on top of hourly going towards my car payment :). I really can't wait to have some extra cash to invest in the clothing for myself. But I have to hold off for a while and get all of this crazy financial debt paid off. NO BEGGING FOR THIS GIRL :). For those of you who remember my post about making a sign and begging.



I really, really enjoyed doing the VLOG. I kinda want to start doing it a bit more regularly. But I don't have too many bright ideas to support that thought so they will be sporadic for now. I'd really like to do a Q&A though!!! I thought it would be a great way to get to know you guys better because you would be able to kind of dialogue with me through the questions you ask. So if you have ANY questions 

EMAIL ME @: Savedthrulove @ Gmail [dot] com :)



Once I get into a groove with the two jobs I will certainly be posting more frequently.
I feel like these last few days have GREATLY affected my walk with the Lord too. I just felt and feel kinda distant, DRY, and hungry for an extra filling of His spirit these days. I'm drained and exhausted of all my own strength and I know that Christs strength is the only strength that will endure and suffice. I am also just desperately struggling with doubt these days. NOT ABOUT WHO GOD IS but about myself. I want to break free and just break out of this existence. I sense so much more is awaiting me in surrendering it ALL to Christ. I don't know how that looks or what it means but I know that it is REAL and that HE IS CAPABLE. I just want to be obedient you guys. I want to be obedient and grow! I want to be stretched and broken in HIS NAME. Chetreanna seems to get in the way often with her own plans but I want to embrace HIS plans for my life. AND HIS WAYS!! I want to learn to live more like HIM. PRAY FOR ME. I love you all so much. I pray for you guys. I know that GOD has given me each follower for a reason. There are no mistakes in this beautiful world of His. :) And NON of you beauties are mistakes :).

God Bless you guys,
Seriously. I mean that.

I was naughty... ♥

Dear Lord, 

I am sorry to admit that today after praying to surrender my day to you that I blatantly ignored your voice and did what I wanted. You asked me not to purchase that Starbucks hot chocolate and I didn't feel right spending the money... Yet I bought it because I didn't want my coffee date to sit their with her drink feeling awkward :(.
You asked me to not buy that scoop of THRIFTY'S chocolate brownie ice cream. Yet, I did. And felt a bit of a tummy ache afterwards :(. You asked me not to waste my gas and drive all the way to Laguna Beach for Tacos at TACO LOCO. Yet, I did. And when me and the girls arrived it was closed! I guess they are only open until 2 a.m on weekends. You are so patient with me and I am so impulsive at times.

Thank you for bringing my mother to church again tonight. She really enjoyed the Easter service. Thank you for protecting me from drunk drivers and any other danger I could have gotten into tonight driving around Laguna and Newport beach. Thank you for the 5 dollars I found and used to buy my girls each a warm chocolate croissant. Thank you for sacrificing your life Jesus. That I could call myself a child of God and be grafted into the inheritances once only promised to the jews. Thank you Lord for breaking the rules and showing us that loving you is about a RELATIONSHIP not a set of rules to follow and obey. Thank you for your grace in which I am capable of having my faith. 

Thank you for loving me despite my stupidity and who I am. I am so, so sorry for ignoring your quiet whispers today. I want to be obedient Father. Have mercy on your silly and often dumb child. She still struggles with pleasing man above God :(. Not proud Father. But that is the honest truth. 

Transform me GOD. I know I can be more but I first need more of YOU in me.

I love you so much. Your an amazing savior. None is greater than you...None.

Hello. It is Thursday :) <♥>


 waiting in my car for the ladies to show up before we head out. Photo sessions in the car... oh memories...



HELLO,..
SO I HAD A VERY EVENTFUL DAY YESTERDAY.
I FOUND MY PHONE THAT I HAD LOST THE DAY BEFORE! YAY!! THEN TODAY I WOKE UP AND REALIZED I HAD LOST MY CHARGER...THANKFULLY I KNOW WHERE IT IS :).


not my phone :).



I MET UP WITH SOME OF MY GIRLS YESTERDAY AND WE DROVE TO A FRIENDS HOUSE WHO IS GOING TO COURT TODAY AND MAY FACE JUVENILETIME. SHE WAS SO SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL. WE GOT TO PRAY FOR HER ANDJUST HANG OUT WITH HER AT HER HOUSE. SHE IS STRUGGLING WITH GIVING IT ALL TO THE LORD. SHE HAS BAD FRIENDS IN HER LIFE AND SHE ISN'T YET READY TO OBEY WHAT GOD IS ASKING OF HER. WHICH IS JUST TO TRUST HIM.


BUT THE AMAZING THING IS GOD DOESN'T CARE WHERE SHE IS TODAY. HE  HEARD OUR PRAYERS. HE CRIED THROUGH HER. HE KNOWS THE HEAVINESS HER HEART IS FEELING. AND HE BROUGHT ALL 10 OF US STRANGERS TO HER HOME YESTERDAY JUST TO SHOW HER SHE HAS ANOTHER CHOICE. SHE HAS WOMEN  WHO WANT TO SEE HER AT HER BEST AND WALKING WITH THE LORD. WHO DON'T
JUDGE BECAUSE WE KNOW WHO WE ARE WITHOUT GOD. AND IT AIN'T MUCH :).

I WILL NEVER BE SKINNY! IT JUST AIN'T IN THE CARDS FOR ME. TODAY IT HIT ME AS I WAS LOOKING AT VARIOUS PICTURES OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. THIS ISN'T REALITY FOR ME. I AM DESIGNED WITH LARGER HIENEY. WITH A FULLER BUST. A BIT OF A GUT. AND IN SOME ANGLES A DOUBLE CHIN. LOL. AND YOU KNOW WHAT. THAT DOESN'T CHANGE GODS LOVE FOR ME. IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE WAY MY FUTURE HUSBAND WILL LOOK AT ME. IT DOESN'T CHANGE MY SMILE. OR MY HEART. IT DOESN'T MAKE ME ANY LESS SMART. OR ANY LESS CAPABLE. IT DOESN'T DEFINE ME. I AM STILL BEAUTIFUL..




ON MONDAY I ALMOST HIT KOBE BRYANT. I WASN'T LOOKING WHERE I WAS DRIVING AS ME AND A FRIEND LEFT WHOLE FOODS AND I LOOK UP AND I'M A FOOT AWAY FROM A  BLACKED OUT MERCEDES. MY HEART DROPPED. NOT BECAUSE OF KOBE BUT BECAUSE I  ALMOST HIT HIS MILLION DOLLAR CAR ;(. THAT WOULD'VE SUCKED BEYOND BELIEF.  I DON'T REALLY CARE FOR KOBE. I MEAN I DON'T DISLIKE HIM. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO STARS I GET MORE EXCITED WHEN I SEE A PHILANTHROPIST THAN A BASKETBALL PLAYER OR REALITY STAR OR MOVIE STAR OR YOUTUBE STAR... THERE ARE SO MANY THESE DAYS. I GET EXCITED WHEN I SEE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY USE THEIR PLATFORM TO CHANGE THIS
WORLD. BUT THAT IS A RARE COMMODITY IN THE REALM OF STARDOM.

I WANT TO GO AWAY AND READ. I HAVE BEEN WANTING TOO. BUT I JUST CAN'T  WILL MYSELF TO DO IT. IT'S QUITE ANNOYING. JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE SINCE I'M  BEING RANDOM AND ALL OVER THE PLACE IN THIS ONE.

THANK YOU LORD FOR ANOTHER DAY. ANOTHER MOMENT. AND ANOTHER REASON TO LOVE YOU.


doesn't this look amazing!! I wonder what the drink is??

the pizza we at last night was soooo delicious. given that i was starved.

THE END.

I am a runner. That is what I do. I enjoy doing it in every single way EXCLUDING actual physical exercise. Dear Jesus, help me.
I know that many people struggle with starting things. But I LOVE starting things. I love the excitement of embarking on an adventure of ANY type. I love that beginning rush that comes from something new. I guess I might be a starter junkie? I start a lot of things. I have began many works. I started college. I started bible college. I started serving. I started working out. I start and leave. I start and I run. I start and I get scared. I don't really think too much. I just GO! Slowing down before God has been a big challenge. I just want to GO. But the Lord doesn't always have that plan. Sometimes He just wants me to walk. Not to run with excitement towards the next hill or mountain. Just run. Just walk. Just be with Jesus step by step. Yet I get so wrapped up in the excitement that I overlook where Jesus is calling me and blatantly ignore His opinion. His command.
Ugh. But thankfully. He loves me nonetheless. What precious Grace. What great Mercy. 

The truth about Africa is I want to go with everything in me. I want to be with the Lord in Africa. I want to experience Africa. I want to be used in Africa. I want to see Africa. I want HIM to take me with HIM to Africa. But that is NOT His plan and it breaks my heart. It breaks my pride. I have to now tell everyone. Every. Single. Person. Who has prayed for and with me. I no longer am going. I have to remember the voice of GOD and cling to Him because it doesn't make any sense. How now I could be so close and not there at all. 
The Lord is good all the time. MY confusion is not of Him. He knows what He is doing. He knows what I am meant to do and where I am meant to stay. He knows me. And He loves me. So God I offer this to you. I give AFRICA back to you. I surrender it willingly. I do not know why your Spirit does not permit me. But I do know that you are near and close to those who love you. Thank you God. Thank you for leading me. I love you!

A Girl Can Dream

So I had a bit of WARFARE tonight after work. 
I was quite sure that what the enemy was creeping into me head was perhaps... TRUE?
Thankfully I received encouragement and prayed through the depressing fiasco.
1John4:4[...] " He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.""

And I choose to believe Him and say SHUTUP to the one in this world :). Thank you Lord!
I did find some things that Caught My Dream Eye today. I thought I would share them with y'all since I never have the motivation or willpower to do anything but blab. In light of my newly found motivation here are some dreamy pics. (Or random things that just really get my brains visual cortex LIT up with excitement.)

mmm. P!NK cake...
I actually am not a cake fan. My wedding will most likely have an alternative. But doesn't this picture make you want to give cake a try no matter where you stand with it?? Sooo creative and alluring...
if only...
 I could never pull these off for more than 4 hours BUT the soft pink and high heel does really excite the pink lovin girl in me. I don't have anywhere in mind to wear these but I believe the idea of owning them and wearing them effortlessly is where the thrill comes from. Plus... they're pink. (sorry for all pink haters...But You don't choose the colors you love :/)

doesn't it look lovely there?
I would really have no clue as to how to operate this device with any artistic grace. BUT, I am definitely an art appreciator. I love looking at all of your inspiring photos (especially when you've taken them yourself!) and I enjoy snapping photos on my own. However, there is no camera for me to do that any longer. So I will be praying to come across one of these lovelies and start taking photos of all the things that catch my eye throughout my days on this earth. Teeheehee

ThankYouLord ♥

The great part about this post for me is that I don't feel half as bad as I did BEFORE I got all creative and such. Plus, these pictures, which I took from HERE ♥ ,are so lovely all on their own. The last one was just a little reminder from GOD. I get so worried about myself and forget just how much LOVE is covering me each and every day. I like posting hearts all over my heart because I know how it feels to forget to smile and see something silly and use those MUSCLES. I know how it feels to wake up wanting to stay in bed and get on with the rapture. I know how it feels to LIVE on Gods green earth and have sensitivity to all the evil and just plain filth that surrounds us. WE have something so great in GOD. Tap into Him and be filled with LOVE...

Done away with the old ♥

Romans 6:6 "For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin-"
Oh how freeing it is to look at this Holy Book and read and be spoken to today. How freeing to know that despite all of my sins and all of the ways that I myself have helped nail our Jesus to the cross that He still rose again to free me. He rose again to stand at the right hand of the Father and pray for me and you! What joy and satisfaction that brings to the common sinner. I say common lightly. Many of us, I having been one myself, like to think that we are somehow different than others. The truth is that we are all the same in the eyes of the Lord. No matter how "good" of a person you may feel that you are or how "bad" of a person you think you are. To the Lord you are either in love with Him or you or Not. You are a common sinner no matter what though and that is something to boast about in our God. That He sees us all the same. Some of us common sinners believe we stand on a platform higher or lower than our brothers and sisters in this world, however, that is not true. There is neither man nor female in the sight of the Lord; Neither Jew nor Gentile. For all have fallen short of the glory of God. ALL HAVE FALLEN SHORT.

My question is if the Lord sees us all the same, sinners, either saved or not saved (willing or unwilling) then who is it that tells you differently? Who is it that tells you your a good person and your just fine without God? Who is it that tells you your filth? Your trash and God can only use those who are worthy?? Well, from what He has written in His book it seems that those are the words of the same master. Yes, you have a master. As do I though I am perfectly joyful about the situation :). That is the word of Satan you have been listening to.

In Romans 6:6 we see that we are no longer "slaves" to sin in Christ. You are a slave to someone and if you are willfully denying the Creator of this Universe, the Living God to be your master then you are serving the Devil and it doesn't matter how Good you are or how happily Bad you are the master is the same. There are two forces at work in the spiritual realm. One of dark principalities and one of LIGHT. If you don't believe that, well by all means don't let me get in the way. But on the day of judgment you will stand alone and face the Creator who holds more power than the ruler of this perishing world. 

I beg you to no longer be a slave to sin. My sins were innumerable. I was heavily vain and struggled with bulimia, anorexia and other types of disorderly eating behaviors. I was depressed and bordered suicide all throughout my life from 6th grade to 19. I was lonely and felt quite mentally insane. I never fit in and every day felt like an act of some sort (hence why I love theater and being on stage). I put others above myself because I felt worthless. I mutilated my body and caused myself pain. I escaped from this reality through weed later in life at about 18. I had found my new god. The one who would save me. But marijuana only fed my other sins and kept me trapped in my head. I have been there. I know what you struggle with. I pray that the Lord speaks to you through this passage He has given me to write. I pray that you meet someone who witnesses to you the GOSPEL and that you would be transformed into His image living and serving HIM and not sin. I pray that you would pray for a relationship with Jesus Christ from the bottom of your heart and be baptized with His spirit who helps us and counsels us. I pray for you right now because that is all we can do at the end of this day.

And I beg you, please pray for me.

Feeling Dead ♥

Romans 6:4 "We were therefore buried with him though baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the father, we too may live a new life."

Excuse the blunt blog title but that is exactly what came to mind this morning. I am not going to sit here and put on the false pretense of understanding Romans with great ease. Oh no, this is something that I have struggled with accepting and also something that my pride is being broken of. 


Growing up in the earliest years I can only remember being an A student and constantly being acknowledged for the intelligence I possessed that made me a tad bit above average. However, although I eventually became a wreck from 7th grade onwards and never really got back on the right track with grades throughout High School, the mentality that I am above average never left me. Hence, this is how the smart___ that I was known to be the later years of adolescence came about.

Now that you have a brief history you can understand how I struggled and almost wanted to over look Romans. Chapter 1 and 2 were vicious and the apostle Paul, chief of sinners, does not hold back the knowledge he had of being raised and educated in the finer things in life. He was indeed a well learned man and it is displayed throughout the New Testament in his many writings. This is something that I have only recently come to accept. Paul can write in a way that makes me feel out of place. Less than mentally. And that my friends is one of my biggest fears.

I fear the perception of others in regards to me in a detrimental way at times. The Lord has brought me pretty far but I still struggle with wondering how I am being perceived. In early life I had my intelligence. That is what I clung to. Although it didn't show in my grades I was constantly feeding it. I was a searcher of answers and discoverer of truth. It was nice to come to class having not done my homework *except in math* and participate and debate the topics at hand. That was the rock I stood upon and it made me feel just a bit less secure and a lot more brilliant in the eyes of others. Romans is just something that Jesus used to reveal this to me. It has always been in me but when you are praying for the Lord to break you of all things not of Him, for God to reveal Himself within you, to be transformed more into His image... Well, your bound to start seeing the things about yourself that once were not bothersome as quite irritating.

I praise God for His Holy and living word the Bible. I praise Him for answering each and every prayer. He is swift to deliver guys, let me just tell you that. And today in Romans when I look at how I am being buried in the death of Christ so I may live in His resurrection I'm struck with the feeling that I just don't feel quite dead. I mean I know I am forgiven, sanctified by my belief, and justified by my faith but I feel as if I am in the grave unconscious and not FULLY DEAD. 

This is my hope as I press onward to the goal. This is my prayer today Dear Father. I want to be DEAD IN YOU fully. I want to be consumed in every endeavor and every ounce of my being Father. Show me my pride so I can pray to surrender it. Show me my barriers and hindrances in this walk of mine so I may grow in abounding grace through you. SHOW ME FATHER WHAT AND WHO YOU WANT ME TO BE!! Apart from you I am but dust Lord. Resurrect me in you so I may truly "live a new life" in you Lord Jesus.

Now I know He has already done great things but you guys I am a greedy little thing. I want more. I crave the Lords nearness and presence. I crave His healing powers. If you knew you had access to the Creator of this world who still lives wouldn't you be just a BIT needier than usual.

I ask you believer, or unbeliever, to utilize the beautiful tool we have in the power of Christ. Don't let your pride keep you from surrendering more of yourself to Him. Don't let your life be mediocre in living for the God of this universe. BE all you can be fully in Him and He will ROCK YOUR WORLD. It hurts to be refined but how else does one make precious metals such as gold?? Be broken for His healing powers and you will never regret the weakness within. 


Lord, I want to be dead. Thank you for showing me just how much I need you. Even when I at times think I am doing great and lacking nothing I thank you for showing me just how weak your creation is. I ask you to strip me of my pride and raise me up into the beautiful woman, future wife and mother that I will someday be. Teach me to use my gifts father for your glory. Transform my life Father! I am so overjoyed in who you are and what you plan to do with me. Thank you Lord for your death in which I am made alive.

Amen

For Today...♥

Well today marks the end of a week of PAID TIME OFF. I didn't have to work from Tuesday-This coming Tuesday which was a blessing because I enjoyed waking up with only what I want to do at hand, which is something all of us ladies and gents enjoy :).

I finally got back into my personal devotions of Romans. Although quite a difficult book it really breaks down the idea of works not being dead but Faith in Jesus Christ being what imputes our sins and cleanses us and gives us that righteousness that Father Abraham was given. He was a man justified not because he was a Jew but because he had Faith in God (in regards to son Isaac and being born a son). Although he displayed works when asked to sacrifice his only son Isaac by God later on this was not what justified him. It was only the fruit of a man justified by Faith in the living God. That is where I pray my works for the kingdom come from. Through the simplicity of faith in Jesus Christ. In Him being the son of God sent to deliver us from the bondage of sin. Please dear God, show us Father... Show us how to obtain more faith in the unseen and the unknown obstacles and trials. Show us how to truly count it as joy and release our selfish sin nature to you. Father I pray to surrender more and more of myself to you daily. Teach me to shed the flesh that weighs me down from your living water. BAPTIZE me afresh with your Holy Spirit so I may walk upright in the sight of the Lord. Father I love you thank you for making me beautiful and wonderful. Your such a merciful and gracious King :).

So Today I get to attend another dinner. *Christians and their celebrations :)...They never end. lol * This one is at a new restaurant that not many or any of my brothers and sisters have tried. We are all really excited to celebrate my dear Sister Sierras birthday. The Lord has given her another year with Him and another year of growth. I praise God for these days full of opportunities for fellowship because I can remember those days without it. I am so blessed by all of the people in my life now that I can consider real family. What a blessing we have in Jesus. He truly fulfills all of our hearts desires. 

I am also a bit hormonal because of the fall of mankind and the curse that Eve received for all women. But I really have true joy and love for this day that God has given me. This week has been yet another amazing adventure with our God. I invited a Jewish boy to my church yesterday and he responded "oh, I'm Jewish." It really caught me off guard. But then I looked at my devotions in Romans 4 today and I see that Jesus is especially to be received by those of Jewish blood and how sad to see that the Jews still believe they are saved by their blood alone. It is the blood of Christ which saves not who we are or what we are. May that boy meet Jesus either through our Church family or another amazing family of believers :)..
