From a Queen to a King.

Dear King,

God has found favor in you. Yes You. Do you not see the power God has instilled in you to conquer life's most difficult storms? He has given you all the tools you need to overcome, you must apply them. What good is a tool is if isn't being used? Study yourself, learn your strengths & weaknesses.  No longer are you to live in your childish ways, but becoming the King you were created to be. You indeed have big shoes to fill, but God didn't just give you tools with no instructions. He gave you Christ as your model, your finished product, the way your life should be reflected.

  When God woke you this morning, he didn't just give you another day to just walk through life without purpose. He woke you up this morning so you could get things right with him. He gave you another day to grab a hold of new opportunities, new beginnings. You must see your worth as a King, not just a "somebody" because to God you are His everything. Who else do you know would give up their only child so you could live? Nobody I know. For when you begin to live your life pleasing to God, you will notice the importance of your life. Your purpose will begin to unfold. You will see life in a whole new perspective. God will not only begin to bless your life, but also guide you on your journey. You will never be alone. He will always be walking along side you. You must be willing to hand over all control and trust Him.

Yes, you may think it makes you less of a man to cry and pour your heart out, but man it does your soul good. It brings healing to go before God on your knees seeking peace, comfort, strength, courage, etc. God hears your prayers and knows what you are going through. When you feel like you are not being heard, just know that there isn't a prayer that doesn't go unheard or unanswered. God is listening, it may not be in the way you want it to be, or your timing, but I promise you He hears you.

If you are not in the right position to lead, there is no need to get into a relationship with a Queen. Focus on getting yourself on the right track instead of leading on a woman with no intentions of making her your Queen. You need to allow time for growth and maturing before you can try to make someone your other half.

Coming from a Queen, no one wants a man that doesn't know his purpose, nor know how to respect a woman. You need to know what it means to serve one another in love, being reminded that she is not just a woman, but someone's daughter, sister, friend.

The way I see it King, your Queen should be someone you can see yourself marrying, building a legacy with. Someone who can bring you closer to God, grinding to win souls cause  So from a Queen's point of view, keep striving to become a better King. No King ever stopped with one victory. They continued fighting even if they were felt defeated. Same goes for you, don't give up the fight of trying to get things right.

 Know your purpose. Keep working on YOU, making sure you learn the responsibilities as a King.

-From a Queen to a King

From One Queen to Another

Dear Queen,

I am writing you this letter to remind you how special you are. Not only were you created in the perfect image of God (Genesis 1:27), but you were born into Royalty. (1 Peter 2:9)  Your name, your precious name is a symbol of elegance and beauty. You radiate a light from within that God has instilled in you and allowed for you to share with others. You have been given the power to move mountains and influence a generation. (Mark 11:23) You must believe in your yourself, your very own worth. You not have a crown that is unmoveable, but the confidence to remove people in your life who tend to tear you down.

Listen Queen, you deserve to be treated with respect, love, loyalty, and so on, you must believe that. You no longer have the fears that once held you back. You must learn to take risks and try new things. Even if you fail, you must learn to pick yourself back up and try again. We as Queens are never quitters. We learn from our mistakes, allowing it to grow us.

We no longer accept people in our lives that don’t have anything positive to say. We are doing a self cleanse of our hearts, there will be absolutely  no room for self-hatred & doubt. Of course there will be days where we start to pick ourselves apart, cause let’s face it,  we are our worse critics. We must be able to love ourselves even in our brokenness, accept the fact that no one is perfect. (Philippians 2:2)

We may look around at other people's so called “perfect life” but the last time I recall, we are all just human. We mess up, we fail, we tend to cover up what really going on in our lives. Talking Queen to Queen, I know I’m a mess, but I am a beautiful mess who knows my worth and what I deserve. I know that God didn’t have his only son die on the cross so I could be miserable. NO He gave me joy, filled me upside, constantly reminding me when I begin to doubt myself that I’m His and he loves me for me. (Romans 15:32) The broken Queen that I am, He loves me for me. I don’t think ya’ll heard me, He loves me for me. Nobody else. I am not like anyone else, because God knew what He was doing.

So Queen, know that you are not alone. Your circumstances does not determine your destiny. What you are going through is to grow and strengthen you, not to harm you. You must know that. God is with you, molding you to be that Proverbs 31 woman he has destined you to be. (Proverbs 31: 31) Keep the faith and know He is not done with you. This is only the beginning to something so much bigger. (Romans 8:28) Just be patient and trust His timing. I love you beautiful soul, don’t you grow cold, may God’s love for you warm your heart & give you peace. Always be reminded to wear your crown & go into your circumstance knowing that God’s got this.

                                   Sincerely,

                                                              From one Queen to another

Trusting the Process.

As seasons begin to change, so the flowers that overwhelm the soul begin to unfold. The season of transitioning has been nothing but constant change & uncertainty. To keep it real, I was stressed & overwhelmed with not knowing what was next as in career, job opportunities, etc. I kept trying to just figure out what I wanted to do and how I was going to do it.

Did you pick up on the trend? It was I, I, I. It wasn't God what do you want from me, where do you want me to serve, how are you going to use me?  Didn't even consider asking God what He had planned for me. I was so overwhelmed with everything that I got distracted within myself, instead of seeing all the blessings that God was trying to cover me with. I was blocking blessings left and right, not listening nor paying attention to what He was trying to reveal to me. It was revealed to me that my lack of trust in God was evident. I wasn't fully giving over every thought, action, & decision over to me. I've been learning though, that in my wait, developing patience, God speaks.

 He has revealed so much in the last few weeks when I stopped talking, asking, and wanting, but being still & listening for Him to guide me, strengthening my character. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." I know I have a long way to go in becoming the godly woman I desire to be, but there's beauty in the struggle,  just have to be willing to trust the process.

For those who are also transitioning whether that's moving into a new city, transferring schools, graduating college, having a baby, getting married, whatever it may be, know that God is going to be pruning you. It will be scary, maybe even painful, but know that there will be growth & beauty that comes from it. When a gardener prunes its rose bushes, it allows for growth, getting rid of anything that no longer serves a purpose. It is removal of the old, so that the new can grow. Just like that, God does the same for us, cutting off anything in us that no longer produces life or bears fruit.

 These seasons we go through whether dry, a lonely, or sweet, know that there is always something to be learned. It reveals to us that God is not done growing us, Philippians 1:6 "Being confident of this, that He who  began a good work in you will carry it into completion until the day of Jesus Christ."
