Dear ladies ♥,

some close sisters and Me at our college retreat :)

I apologize for my most recent absence.
Please forgive me.
This has been the longest week of my life it seems.
God has been doing a work.
I know, I said that last time.
But He is truly doing a new thing in my heart and mind...
I cannot even begin to express this amazing love and vision I have received
I didn't sleep at all this weekend...But these girls made it worthwhile :)

I have a question for you...
Can you sense and feel the urgency in the air?
He is doing a new thing!
He is asking for more...
More of Chetreanna.
MORE OF YOU!!!
He is asking for your heart, for you to trust Him, for you to claim HIS NAME above your own.
HE is asking for your surrender...
He is patiently, desperately and incomprehensibly demanding FAITH!!!

I love my family. :)


We gotta get strapped up...
We have to be women of prayer.
Women of faith.
Women of self-denial.
Women who preach the GOSPEL to ourselves so much we can't help but tell others JESUS LOVES YOU.
Through our actions...Through our smiles...Through our obedience to not be conformed to this world...

God is seeking to pour out HIS spirit upon your head right now.
Will you take Him in deeper this year?
Will you be poured into...?
Will you allow Him to empty you out?
Will you be WILLING??

Bless you girl!
Thank you for reading.
Enjoy the pictures from this year thus far.
I love you all so much.
Let me know how I can pray for you!

No me gusta :( ♥

So I have a burn or rash on my upper lip and under my chin. And it seriously burns like no other! I am in such discomfort and pain and the hypochondriac that is alive in my really feels like I have some type of flesh eating disease or std or chemical burn just because it hurts sooo bad. My mom said it looks like an allergic reaction to something I ate. I though it was a sunburn because it looks and feels exactly like a sunburn I previously had. Btw I think it is impossible that it is an STD but prior to finding GOD I was sexually active with my only ex-boyfriend (WHO I HAD TESTED BECAUSE I AM A HYPOCHONDRIACISH TYPE OF WOMAN. PRAISE GOD) SO just in case anyone was wondering that is the LITTLE piece that fuels the STD fire. Not to mention that I have been tested SINCE that past mistake and yeah. Why am I talking about STDS oh my goodness...

Anywho. Pray for me if you can. I believe in the power of prayer so I ask a lot. But tomorrow I leave for the WHEN WOMEN LEAD CONFERENCE and I am so scared of just not being able to enjoy it because of this pain. WOooo.. The Lord has got this. I know. So I will pray and calm down. I just want to wake up free of the pain. I don't even care about the rash, just the pain Lord. You can take away my mouth and my face but please LORD deliver me from this pain.

I'm heading to bed now and I still have yet to pack but I just so happen to be the best LAST minute packer in town ;).

Thank you God for another day. And Thank you for showing me in REVELATION today just how close we are to your return and to continue to pray for the LOST that they might not be deceived by this crazy "BEAST" that is seeking to make peace and lure people away from your truth with false religion, doctrine and promises. Oh LORD, raise us up into stronger women of FAITH that we ourselves may not be deceived and stand firm in our Love for you in all areas. May we not allow compromising lifestyles to be the reason we are left behind or standing outside your gates. I love you GOD.

♥ Have a Great Weekend Loves!! ♥

Dear Lord,

Why must I always feel strong enough to text him after I've read the BIBLE? Seriously, does that make any sense at all? I had an amazing quiet time with my King this morning and was still feeling extremely sleepy after hanging out with some friends from church really late last night. So I get back into bed groggy and text him a simple question. Nothing really important just asking if he knows someone I met last night. Then he responds and all I think about it how much distance there is between us. All I see is the beautiful, SKINNY, woman that looks NOTHING like me plastered on the front of his phone. Or the GORGEOUS Latina chick pasted on his Myspace (which I happily deleted a while ago btw).

Comparison is the quickest way to UNHAPPINESS. I keep comparing myself. I keep thinking who on this planet will EVER love me again? Aside from CHRIST I feel so hopeless romantically. I feel so hopeless and unworthy ladies.. I know my worth isn't based upon the things that will fade like my body or how BEAUTIFUL I am but if I've learned anything it's to be honest in my struggles and THIS IS HONESTLY my struggle just for TODAY. I don't feel thin enough, in shape enough, proportionate, I feel lazy, in need of the gym, in need of a miracle.. lol

I already feel much better after purging that out! Financially I am STRUGGLING greatly. I need more hours at work but SCHOOL will definitely suffer if I try to overload. Plus there aren't any hours available at the BANK. I applied for a loan to cover a few things and bring me back up to positive but was respectfully declined. God WILL provide. I just wish I could Find another way to work where maybe I could do homework as well? That would be a blessing. Or a new job that pays better and allows me to have time to study and do work. Ugh. Being an adult can be a bit draining at times. Sometimes I wonder how exactly I became an adult so quickly. Soon, I'll be thinking how I became a wife, a person with a PROFESSION, kids *all of this god-willing of course :)*... I just hate having to depend on my mom for things like lunch or food. I was so spoiled in my independence and I feel like I'm back to being that child I was so desperate to break free of when I was younger. Praying I will find a mechanic willing to fix my car and for an affordable cost and that will help out a lot.

I have faith in you Lord. Though I am troubled I know you are with me. I pray that all of my words be pleasing to your ears. That I bring you joy somehow. I pray for satisfaction in each day you have given me and to remember just how SMALL I am and how GREAT you are :). You are GOD sovereign! I am but a child and thank you for being my father! You teach us in your word that if we LOVE GOD then we will Love CHRIST! That we will believe you and TRUTH will be revealed and SET us FREE. You teach us that if we don't believe in you then we believe the FATHER OF LIES who is SATAN. Thank you for freeing me LORD. Give me strength to fight the LIES of satan. TO fight with prayer, fellowship and time with you! AWAKEN MY SOUL LORD JESUS :)!! I AM YOURS FULLY. OH GOD PLEASE USE ME!!
In Jesus Name I make this Prayer
AMEN




Have a SUPER SILLY SUNDAY!
