God, I Trust You...Today.

There is safety and a blessing in God's "NO!" I wanted God to change my situation...but God wanted my situation to change me...The outcome may not look good...but God IS good...and He knows how to put you where you are supposed to be...and work it all together FOR your good.

I learned to not fight the situation...to not let the pain push me to despair but, to my knees. I chose to trust and work WITH God...I embraced the jacked up circumstance, and learned to stay in peace. To take my anguish to His throne...To seek God and His ways with ALL my heart. To learn to see myself as He sees me...more than a conqueror. A mighty woman of valor. More precious than rubies. Made in His image. To be loved, cherished, honored...treated as the precious priceless gem that I am.

If we work with him, seeking Him with all our might...not seeking the "miracle"...or the "fix"...but HIM...not the "gift" but the "giver" or the "way", but the "waymaker", not the "prince" but the "King of Kings" we will come out refined and more valuable, and stronger.... My struggle destroyed and burned off the impurities in my character. It was meant to destroy ME...but I came out better. The situation will not leave you broken, scarred or defeated....but it WILL burn off and decimate anything that is not Gods best for your life.

God never writes us off...He hasn't forgotten about us. The threshing floor-we may not like it. We may be uncomfortable but it will prepare us for our destiny that God has for us. God puts us in seemingly impossible situations to separate us from what limits us. He wants us to be like Him- limitless.

My fear and intimidation are gone. My gifts are stirred and I've heard God speaking faith into my life. Showing me the brilliance of my future. The threshing floor Is never meant to be permanant...and I have come out...I've shaken off disappointment, low expectations, anger, bitterness, resentment and the memory of hurts. It's time to take what belongs to me...and I shall have it ALL!! ‪#‎putonyourSONshades‬ ‪#‎myfuturessobright‬ ‪#‎newrecord2016‬‪#‎icanshowyoubetterthanicantellyou‬ ‪#‎dechamprecords‬ ‪#‎jjthamesmusic‬‪#‎stronger‬ ‪#‎ilovemylife‬ ‪#‎Goditrustyou‬ ‪#‎happygirljj‬ ‪#‎watchme‬

JJ's YEAR OF DESTINY DAY 5- Divorce is of the Devil...

"You don't know how "one" you've really become- until you're ripped apart. Divorce is of the devil... I wish it on no one...ever." -jj thames. Not in the mood to face the world today. so I won't. my bed is my solace... listening to my new record, tightening up arrangements, listening for more possibilities- soothes my angst. this divorce stuff irks my soul... one or two days- I barely think about it. next day...I feel like I've been hit by a bullet train at maximum speed- and just want to lay in my darkened bedroom and look at the ceiling. No tmusic, no TV...just me...my bed...and the ceiling. Sleep usually eventually welcomes me. But, then there's the dreams- and waking again to the pain. I feel like a part of me has died. It's a strange kind of pain... its a numbing abiding pain...like an irritating itch deep in your soul that you really have no kind of way to scratch. You just have to talk about it, and su...

Joy is My Strength

I have come to understand that joy is not the same thing as happiness. Happiness is invested in one's circumstances. It is a feeling...it comes and goes. Joy is a state of being- it is a fruit of the Spirit (a result of the Spirit of God living within) it is a deep abiding peace, an assurance that God is sovereign. I don't have to like what's happening...I don't have to dig my circumstances...I merely have to trust that God knows what He is doing, that He loves me...and is wo rking it all together for my good. There is a peace that truly surpasses understanding that overtakes me in my darkest hours knowing that I'm His, and that He has me, like the whole world, in the palm of His hand. The joy of the Lord truly is my strength, and I understand the psalmist when He said..."Do not force me away from your presence, and do not take Your Spirit away from me." Psalm 51:11 The Presence of God truly is the air I breathe...suffocating is not an option. ‪#‎ thejoyof...

Jj's Year of Coming Of Age: Day 152- Spillin' the Tea -Part 3- Chronicles of the Sidechick Wife...Not a Typo.

livid, adj . [Screw] you for cheating on me. [Screw] you for reducing it to the word cheating. As if this were a card game, and you sneaked a look at my hand. Who came up with the term cheating , anyway? A cheater, I imagine. Someone who thought liar was too harsh. Someone who thought devastator was too emotional. The same person who thought, oops, he's gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar . [Screw] you. This isn't about slipping yourself an extra twenty dollars of Monopoly money. These are our lives. You went and broke our lives. You are so much worse than a cheater. You killed something. And you killed it when its back was turned" -David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary I'm gonna get back to my Asperger's list tomorrow...but, I had something really interesting happen today...and I want to talk to ya'll about it... I've got a question for you... "Would you stay with your man if he cheated on you, and a baby was conce...
