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!

Monday ♥ /False Jesus

Hey guys!
Today is a much better day. Last nights post was definitely well worth it because not only did the extreme bloat-a-tion that I was experiencing while writing that GO AWAY but today I opened all the blinds and let light inside of our often cave-like apartment and put on my comfy shirt. It really is the simple things that can completely turn around an unfortunate lack of positivity.

Today, I woke up planning to go to the Lake and walk it alone and maybe finish up Sense and Sensibility, but then I walked outside with JUDE (the doggie) and walked back in disappointed. We have so many heavy clouds in the distance and although the sun was shining on what seemed to be ONLY my city, the brisky chill in the air was more than enough to defeat my plans.

With that being said I have been inside all day looking at the WH|BM website and studying the product. As well as, the J.BRAND website studying the various jeans they sale and wanting desperately to try them on. It is REALLY hard to find pants that fit me and are comfortable so I usually stick to buying dresses. But lately I have been wanting to wear my neutral heels and a pair of rockin and fitted jeans with a sleek button up. (yeah, I get outfit cravings... Often the clothes don't exist either) But it hasn't been accomplished. Not that I could ever afford a pair of those jeans BUT I am definitely good at finding what I want and need and desire on thrifting trips, so I will be keeping and eye out for J. Brand the next time I hit up one of my go-to spots.

Well Ladies. I just wanted to let you all know what I was up to. Nothing really profound going on in my mind. TONIGHT, I attend a women's Home group meeting in TUSTIN from church. I am beyond excited. The Lord really does give us the desires of our hearts and I know that this is nothing more than another answered prayer of mine. The woman who leads it gathers in her home and welcomes all women and she basically hosts a christian and spirit filled version of AA only their are no steps. You get the support that you desire from being able to share your struggles and praise reports while being around people who are like-minded in their faith. A.K.A People who believe in the true and LIVING GOD, Christ Jesus.



I have a heavy burden burning in my heart. I keep finding blogs and bloggers who claim to know Jesus. But then I realize that our Jesus are two totally different people. While the Lord I know is the Messiah who was and is GOD. Theirs is a warped and demented version of the Christ. He is either one of many Gods, not GOD or only the SON OF GOD. Basically the trinity is non-existent in their particular faith.

I struggle with this deeply because it is purely the lie of the enemy in the phony form of "true faith". I want desperately to set these amazing people free from this lie. I want them to know the GOD they worship is not the GOD of the bible. That the God they worship will ultimately be the death of them in that fiery lake of Sulfur. 



I don't know how or what it is GOD necessarily wants me use this burning for. I'm banking it is 100% for His Glory though. I know that it is definitely Him within me that breaks my heart for these lost children of His. I know the Devil has lead them astray and I pray that Christ would truly become known to them and that they would receive His holy spirit and that they would in turn DWELL IN HIS KINGDOM FOREVER.

Let it be True Lord.



HAPPY MONDAY LADIES!
Blessings all around ♥

Prayer ♥

Dear Lord,


You know me by name. You knit me before the span of time I live in existed. You created me for a magnificent and perfect life and ministry. I pray to count it all as joy. To surrender myself completely at your throne. To be filled with your spirit so that you might be revealed more and more to those around me. I pray God for more of your love to enter my heart. I pray for forgiveness Lord because I continually fall short. I pray Lord to pray more and to take heed to your calling and pick up my cross each and every moment that I am awake and functioning on this planet. I pray for my unsaved family Lord to come to know you as sovereign and King. I pray for a flame of your POWER to be ignited within my soul and for an awakening like no other to take place within me that others may not RECOGNIZE me as Chetreanna but as a woman who has encountered the living God.

Father break me of my Pride.

Give me more humility.
Show me and reveal to me what a meek spirit truly looks like.
Show me how to be the gentle woman you have called me to be.

Control me, Use me, Fulfill in me the desires you have given to me.
Shake me free of the cage I have become accustomed to that I may fly on your wings in your GLory.
Set my heart aflame my God.
Show me who I am in You.

Let me be overwhelmed with your forgiveness that I could learn to truly walk in forgiveness amongst mankind.
Less of me Dear God. 

Less of me PLEASE Dear Father.
I am sick God. I am sick of sin. I am sick of the lack of sensitivity I have spiritually. Make me Bold. Give me passion for your name. TRANSFORM me God.




I love you so much Jesus. You have done so many great things for me and I just wanted to let you know that I am yours and I am sorry for not always walking as YOUR CHILD. Thank you for loving me first. Thank you for rescuing me from the Hell I chose. Thank you for loving me when I spat on your face, laughed at you, mocked you and denied your NAME. Father God infiltrate this world and show your face to those suffering across the globe. You know them all by name God. May they know your name as well.



I. Am. In. Love. With. You.





love,


Chetreanna [♥]

early morning (TEHEEHEE)

My current conundrum is LOVE LOST.
My heart is actually aching and the funny thing is, I broke up with him?
Well, let me
   clear things UP...

I broke up with him to focus purely on god SINCE i am a new believer and our relationship 9ish months ago was not that of a god pleasing and fearful couple.  I didn't realize that having an unevenly yolked relationship while trying to have a strong walk with the LORD will only be a burden when you are actually focused on GOD. I learned my first lesson which is you cannot have a relationship where one is running towards God while the other is doing , well something else.  I guess stagnant would be the appropriate word to use. I was a new believer and on fire and my partner was a believer who had strayed.

Anyways that was NOVEMBERish.  I am only now beginning to really FEEL the loss.
AND IT HURTS YOU GUYS.  We are both still friends and I love him more than any man next to the LORD and he is growing so tremendously. And it hurts because THAT is what I so desperately wanted when we were together. and i guess i have also learned that being faithful to god is not always easy nor does it make sense from our small human point of view.  But i can see that god is at a large work in my life today and NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT PAINS ME i must stay true to him and faithful because I know, he has a better plan for me than I do for myself.
                      Yet, this truth doesn't make it easier.
This all could be handled a lot differently, of course if I had a life without GOD.  I made a life altering choice the day I accepted him into my HEART and gave my life to CHRIST and the situations that used to BAFFLE me with abounding hopeless thoughts are now situations of purpose. EVENTS all leading to the next stage of life that god has predestined before me.

I cried my eyes out today and yesterday. And i even talked to my ex about what I was feeling and that helped because for me it got everything out in the open so that he could understand the way I was aCting and treating him. I feel like I should definitely be OVER HIM.  People have always said when you break up that person is meant to be in your past for a reason. But I guess for now he isn't? I don't have any answers and whenever I try to carry out MY WILL FOR MYSELF I wind up hurt, confused and in a worst place than I was to begin with. LOL

i also know that IF god has that in store for me than he will deliver me to that place and for now I just need to surrender the situation entirely to his haNds and pray to be in his will.

I am learning and growing so much but i NEED PRAYER and I am far from perfect and FAR from alright with everything that is going on in my life right now.  I just know that I am comforted when I am reminded of who MY GOD is. and just how powerful he is and what a great and faithful deliverer he is. this is my hope and my rock. This is my comfort in CHRIST<3
