Just know He has His hands on you

Psalms 32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye"

*Cue: Marvin Sapp, He has His hands on you*

The confirmation

Let me take you back to August 2019:

It's the last night of the Shekinah 4 day conference in Miami and I'm heading back to my AirBnB with my friends and my heart is FULL! We wanted to close out the night in prayer but stayed up for an additional 3+ hours praying and interceding on behalf of one another and God showed out! It was then and there that He told me the plan He has for me and my immediate answer was yes. Little did I know that simple "yes" would pull me right out of my comfort zone.

Joel 2:25

“I will restore the years that the locust has eaten”

Since that night I've been on a roller coaster ride and stretched from trials to testimonies. It sort of feels as if He's been waiting for my "yes" and let out a sigh of relief when I said it. I imagine Him saying "Finally, I can place you to where I need you". I've been a Christian my entire life, raised in a lively Pentecostal church but things didn't start to shift until I was it wasn't until I was in the right community, with the right people. From that night on, I realized God is making a point to show me that He is the redeemer of time, that no matter how much time I thought I lost trying to do life on my own, He will bring me right where I need to be.

The beauty of all of this is that all that time I spent away from Him, being in places and doing things I had no business being a part of, is all coming together for His glory. None of my experiences will go to waste. The messed up relationships I've been in will bring God glory. The situations that should've destroyed me will bring God glory. My life will bring God glory.

That brings me to Jesus+Therapy...

Anyone that knows me personally can attest to my lively personality but put me in front of a crowd and I clam right up. That's part of the reason why I've kept this site private for so long, putting my struggles on the internet for the world to see isn't exactly comfortable for me but God has a plan.

That night in Miami God told me that I was called to share His word through my experiences so that others may draw closer to Him. The idea of sharing my experiences scared the daylights out of me but with each step I took I felt more and more secure in Him. God has shown me time and time again that His hand is on my life and He has been and will always be with me. So with that, I launched Jesus+Therapy in hopes of showing people that having a relationship with God is a form of therapy. I want to show people that seeking counsel and therapy does not go against the word of God but in fact aligns with it. Hopefully the Christian community can move forward into healing the way God intended, with community centered around Him and His word.

"Just because you're uncomfortable, it doesn't mean you're unsafe"

Since making this site open to the public, I've been overwhelmed with love and words of encouragement from friends and strangers alike. I stepped out in faith knowing God has and will guide my steps, I only need to trust in Him. Yes, it's incredibly uncomfortable and I would never think of doing this on my own but I know this isn't for me, it's for the glory of God.

My God,

You never cease to amaze me. Every time I step out in faith and trust in You, You continue to exceed my expectations. I'm grateful that you chose me to do this work for You and I hope I make You proud. I pray that I will continue to follow the plan you have for me and that my faith in You never diminishes. I pray that the words you've given me will reach its intended audience and that I may have the courage to keep sharing, no matter what happens. Lord, I honor You and I praise You for the good work that You've started in me. I thank you for Your grace, Your mercy, Your never-ending kindness that You've extended to me. Thank You for always being with me, and may Your will be done.

Amen.
