How God Builds You While……….. From the desk of Cree

How God Builds You While You are Building Your Ministry

By Rick Warren
Saddleback Church & Pastors.com

 

CBN.com –Did you know that God uses a very predictable process to build your character? I call this process the “Six Phases of Faith.” If you don’t understand this process, you’ll get discouraged when problems arise. You’ll wonder, “Why is this happening to me?”

But if you understand and cooperate with what God is doing in your ministry, your faith – like a muscle that is stretched – will develop great strength.

Phase 1: A dream
God gives you a dream – an idea, goal, or ambition. Every great accomplishment first begins as a God-given dream in someone’s mind. “God is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of – infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.” (Eph. 3:20 LB)

Phase 2: A decision
A dream is worthless until you decide to do something about it. For every 10 dreamers, there’s only one decision-maker. This is the moment of truth where you decide to invest your time, money, energy, and reputation and to let go of security. If you want to walk on water – you must get out of the boat! “You must believe and not doubt … a double-minded man is unstable in all he does.” (James 1:6, 8 GN)

Phase 3: A delay
There is always a time lapse before your dream becomes reality. God uses this waiting period to teach us to trust him. Remember, a delay is not a denial. Maturity is understanding the difference between “no” and “not yet.” God says, “These things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!” (Hab. 2:3 LB)

Phase 4: A difficulty
Now the problems start popping up. The two most common types: critics and circumstances. Don’t worry. It’s all a part of God’s plan. “At the present you may be temporarily harassed by all kinds of trials. This is no accident – it happens to prove your faith, which is infinitely more valuable than gold.” (1 Peter 1:6-7 Ph)

Phase 5: A dead end!
Your situation will deteriorate from difficult to impossible. You are backed into a corner, you reach the end of your rope; it looks hopeless. Congratulations! You are on the edge of a miracle. Trust God. “At that time we were completely overwhelmed … in fact we told ourselves that this was the end. Yet we now believe we had this sense of impending disaster so that we might learn to trust, not in ourselves but in God who can raise the dead.” (2 Cor. 1:8-9 Ph)

Phase 6: A deliverance
God provides a supernatural answer. Miraculously, things fall into place! God loves to turn crucifixions into resurrections so you can see his greatness. “I expect the Lord to deliver me once again so I will see his goodness to me ….” (Ps. 27:13)

My Single Moms Club Cree’s Blog Entry

259
If you know me.. you know that I absolutely love and admire Tyler Perry. When it comes to his movies and plays he speaks my language. Even though this movie doesn’t come out until Friday March 14, 2014. I have a lot to say about being a single mom raising Neishia. Which leads me to this post about The Single Moms Club. 

I moved into a upstairs 2 family flat, with my best friend living under me. She had 3 kids, and I had Neishia. I didn’t have a car, but my friend did. When she wanted to go grocery shopping without the kids, I would watch them for her, and there were times when we packed up the kids and went together. When Neishia started Preschool, I worked MIDNIGHTS so that when she came home from school she ate dinner, did chores, and did her homework . It was an everyday schedule that we had. 

I loved going to the movies. We would get dressed on Saturday morning, and catch the bus to the mall to shop and see a movie. I remember the day I taught her that whenever you go to the movies, you cant talk. I explained to her that when the lights are off, people want to see and hear the movie, and that it was rude to talk. I told her that I would get her anything she wanted to drink and snack on, and if she had to use the bathroom or ask me a question, she had to whisper in my ear. She caught on real quick, I never had to take her out of the movies for boredom or whining. She enjoyed the movies just as much as I did. LOL Once I realized that she got it.. we went to the movies EVERY, EVERY, EVERY, EVERY, EVERY single weekend. 

When she started going to school all day, I quit my midnight job and started working at her school. I wanted to know the teachers, the administrators, and the students. I was on every board you name. Education is very important to me, and I made sure that she was getting the best of it. By me working at the school, I got her in the habit of going everyday, so that when it was necessary for her/me to stay home, she would “feel some kinda way” about missing a day. Boy did that work *more on that later*.
By the time she started 5th grade. I had moved into a 4 family flat apartment, which I LOVED. I quit working at the school, and started a full time 9-5 job as a Cosmetics Coordinator. That was perfect for us, my downstairs neighbor or her mom who lived directly down the street from us, would walk with the kids home everyday. Not long after that I would come home, make dinner, help her with her homework and after wards we would spend the rest of the evening together. Born on the same day… we were/are very close. 

I LOVED the people who I shared a 4 family flat with. Across the hall from me * we lived down stairs* was an older lady who worked with me at the school before I left and her grown son Lamar. Upstairs was my gurl Yvette * Kim* and across from her was Loraine. Once the landlord fixed up the downstairs apartment a lady name Sonya moved in. We all built a bond so close, it was unreal. I was at the stage in my life where I loved to go to clubs, cabarets, and to see the male dancers. With the village of women that I had in my own building, I never not once had to sit out a function because I didn’t have a baby sitter. I went out 4-5 times a week for years, got up for work the next morning, got my baby off to school, help with homework, had my male company over, cleaned up, AND cooked. I was in my 20’s and I was doing it all. LOL 

There were often days, when we would leave our doors open in the inside of the OUTSIDE door, so that when one of us had to run a quick errand and the older kids didn’t want to come down, I could just call up the stairs to check on them. While the smaller children came down. This is how we took care of our business. You cant possibly take your kids to everything you had to do. Especially when it came to taking care of business. I remember when we had a terrible ice storm. My apartment had an electric stove, but up stairs were gas stoves. Me and Neishia had to spend nights up stairs and make dinner with them because our apartment was too cold. We played cards all day, something we did everyday anyway. Those were the best times to come together. 

There were times when we all went out together, all of us in the building. I would call my baby sister over and she would watch all of our kids, she got paid lots of money for those times. I can’t even count on my fingers how many times we had to come together and make dinner. All of us loved to cook. Only one of us had a car, so we made dinner every day for our kids. When money was low, we couldn’t make it to the grocery store, or when we didn’t have any thing to cook. Somebody in the building had some food. None of us were prideful, we stuck together. We would all get together in one apartment and have dinner together. They use to love my fried chicken and collard greens. Ooo weeee, we had some great times in that building. 

When it came to dating, I never wanted Nesha to meet any of the guys unless I was really liking them or spending a lot of time with them. That was something I took very serious. I even dated her teacher for several years. I wouldn’t dare let her see him. LOL I dated about 4 Police Officers, but nothing serious. Looking back on them…. several were possessive…… but FIONE AS WINE.. UM UM UM Baaaaaaby!!! 

I moved out of the apartment building and into a 2 bedroom house. By this time Nesha was in Jr High. She started 2 years of High School in this house, then I moved around the corner to a 4 bedroom house… which I loved even more than the 2 bedroom. She graduated from High School there, went to college for 4 years… and NOW making more money than she ever thought possible. I’m proud of the village that help to raise her. I keep in touch with them all on FB. As a matter of fact all of our kids are grown and doing VERY WELL. 

I feel bad for the kids growing up these day, many parents just don’t want to get involved with other people children. Its way more dangerous now too, because they have Internet, our kids didn’t have that until they got last year into high school. This is why I must see this movie this weekend. Its going to bring back so many memories of how I raised my daughter as a Single Parent. My hope is that after seeing this movie that more single parents would join together and help each other out, this way they can be parents, be friends, and have fun. 

Be Blessed

Good Thoughts And Actions……………………..Crees Blog Entry

After feeling down in my last blog… just before bed…. I get this below. I shall sleep well. Thank you Lord.

Today, Lacrease, we believe God wants you to know that …

good thoughts and actions always produce good results, sometimes in unusual ways.

You just focus on doing what you can, and leave the results up to God.

My Town & Country……..gone Crees Blog Entry

my baby
So, my van was found Thursday afternoon by the Detroit Police Department. I went to see it yesterday the damage was bad, they tore it up.
2002 creasy
 
 
When I first bought this van it was so clean it looked brand new. These clowns ripped the second and third row seats out to do their dirty work. My windshield was busted, they hit something and tore off the whole front bumper. The battery was hissing, and front passenger door opens not even half way. The hood wont close, the ignition was tore up and it was so dirty in the inside. The Spirit was gone away from my baby. I LOVED that Town & Country. I prayed and prayed and prayed for years and years and years for God to give me one. And I finally got it. It never gave me any problems, I drove it to Atlanta and back, plus around the city for a year before some GOONS came into my apartment complex and stole it. I’m just so outdone by this. Exactly two days later I got the call I’ve been waiting for… a job at Detroit Public Schools. All I could say at that time is GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS? I’m glad I was honest to them about my situation, so hopefully soon I can come up with something, so that I can start back working. I’ve never had this to happen to me before, its a feeling of being raped. I couldn’t even sit in my van or even touch it. This is just so sad for me.
In my mind, I was making all kinds of “movies” about what I could do to those GOONS. This morning when I woke up, those thoughts were the first thing on my mind. Then I thought to myself… LaCrease you can really be mean. Find a way to get rid of the anger. I am still very upset and angry at these guys. I thought I had forgiven them, until I went to see the damage they did to a van that had NO ISSUES.
Another thing I keep thinking about is this: Job 2:6 6 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life.”
 
 
The reason why I kept thinking about that was because for a year and 9 months, I’ve been catching it, and that Scripture reminds me that everything Job went though.. it had to pass through the DESK OF GOD FOR APPROVAL. God knew everything Job was going through before he went through it… and he passed. This is why no matter what…… I have to stay strong and know my help is on the way.
 
 
Be Blessed!

Why God Sometimes Says “Not Yet”? Crees Blog Entry

Saturday, March 08, 2014
 http://messaging.saddleback.org/ct/35009433:11416797236:m:1:768749279:CE1569F186BBE2AE773BD081D23DA02E:r http://messaging.saddleback.org/ct/35009434:11416797236:m:1:768749279:CE1569F186BBE2AE773BD081D23DA02E:r

“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For, ‘In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.’” (Hebrews 10:36-37 NIV)

If you’re discouraged because of God’s delay in answering your prayers, understand the delay is not a denial. Just because the answer or the miracle hasn’t come yet doesn’t mean God isn’t going to answer or that he’s forgotten you or that he doesn’t care about you. It simply means “not yet”!

Part of becoming spiritually mature is learning the difference between “no” and “not yet,” between a denial and a delay. The Bible tells us, “He who is coming will come and will not delay” (Hebrews 10:37 NIV).

God’s delay may be a test of your patience. Anybody can be patient once. And, most people can be patient twice. And, a lot of us can be patient three times. So God tests our patience over and over and over.

Why? So he can see how patient you are? No!

He does it so you can see how patient you are — so you’ll know what’s inside you, and you’ll be able to know your level of commitment. God tests you so that you can know he is faithful, even if the answers you seek are delayed.

You may be going through difficult times right now. You may be discouraged because the situation you face seems unmanageable, unreasonable, or unfair.

It may seem unbearable, and inside you’re basically saying, “God, I can’t take it anymore. I just can’t take it anymore!”

But you can.

You can stay with it longer because God is with you. He’ll enable you to press on. Remember, you are never a failure until you quit. Resist discouragement, and finish the race God has set before you.

MY FAITH IN GOD …….. Crees Blog Entry

keys

Sometimes when you’re going through something, its okay to share. I have been so distant to my family and friends. I hate when I get like this. But I’m just a person who has to get in the presence of the Lord . But when I opened my mind to allow encouragement, its not bad. I don’t want to be prideful. Its okay to need help, its okay LaCrease to need to be uplifted and encouraged. I seem to always want to do the encouraging, but this time its me. Here is my FB post from yesterday.

Went out to my Van this morning… and it was GONE. I promise my Faith is being tested. MY FAITH IN GOD IS OUT OF THIS WORLD…NO CAR, NO JOB. I’m so numb right now to everything that has happened to me in the last year and a half. At the same time… I still feel like I CAN HANDLE MORE PAIN… Its so much.. I can’t even write it. Can’t even tell it, cant even explain it, can’t even think it, cant even talk about it. I’m not even mad… cause if you know ME.. you know I’m not the one to be GEEKED ON “stuff”. I just don’t know whats behind this. I LOVE GOD so much. I want him to always show up in my smile, personality, love for others, love for strangers.. NO MATTER WHAT IM GOING THOUGH. As many crying spells I had today…. I can’t wait to see what God has for me on the other side of this pain. Watch with me everybody  Okay?

And How you are ALWAYS there for me when I am going through something. Sometimes God moves us because we are so comfortable with the routine that we are in. We need to understand that He is always in control, NOT our daily routines, rituals, calendars, or appointments that we make to “stay in control”.

    He is. So! With that being said, I’m okay with this change, and I hope you are too J (I can tell that you are.) It’s a learning experience for everyone that we came in contact with today. I don’t know about you, but im inspired to CONTINUE to service the public and do what I’m supposed to do. Keep being nice! I believe that we are on the right track. I’m not even mad at the person who HAS the car. LOL I can care less about them fools. But I am still thinking about them officers was acting. I just can never understand how people want to be in the career of PUBLIC SERVICE, but is the exact opposite of the JOB DESCRIPTION! I don’t get it! Lol.

    Anyway doe *Kat Stacks Voice* We are going to be fine. Lol I been to the mountain top!

    Loll But baaaaaby Mark your calendar because we are taking a trip to ATLANTA. I wanted to go somewhere for our BDAY but the days are stupid lol just looked at the calendar.

I Know Things Are Getting Better For You… I’m going to *watch* just like you said because I knowwwwww you’re going to have a testimony that will have me screaming for you.
    Tania Barnes-Patterson Cree… a lot of people don’t know but 2 years ago I was where you are, even worse. Not only without a job, car, etc, I was homeless as well. Literally! My husband and I lost EVERYTHING! We went from having a 4 bdrm, 2 bath, 3000+ square foot home with an in ground pool, to sitting in the dark, in January’s cold with no lights, gas, or water, no jobs, car repoed and an eviction notice right next to me with nowhere to go, and to top that off, was sick with the flu from hell and no medicines but… still clinging to my faith. CLANGIN’!!! So, trust me when I say, “BEEN THERE”! But I MUST tell you, there’s a blessing in the storm. He has restored at least 90% of it all so far and still working. Storms cause damage and destruction… but do you know what happens after it’s finished it’s destruction? The rebuilding of better things… New beginnings! God has a plan. Jeremiah 29:11…. ooh baby and it’s a GOOD ONE. Trust me on this one! I just hear PATIENCE! Activate every ounce of patience and faith you can muster up and hold on tight… for dear life… it’s about to be on and popping! Watch God work. Dig into the Word…pray without ceasing but most of all just believe. ..We need to talk. He loves you so much. HOLD ON!

If there is anything I’m able to do, I will. Love you Lacrease Walkerand I love your love for God and his works!!! I will be waiting for the following posts as u share your blessings with us.
    • Sandra Williams Holy Spirit, You were given to us as a special gift personally from Jesus. You know all things and the word of Yahweh our Elohim says that He will never put on us more than we can bear. The Mighty and Powerful never failing Word also states that Elohim is our Battle Ax in the time of trouble. Now, in the life of my dear sister Cree may God arise and her enemies be scattered! In the Name of Jesus and by His delivering Blood, we demand that everything the devil has stolen from her be returned 100 fold. Right now in the Mighty Name if Yeshuah Mesiah may the warring and ministering Angels of the Lord go forth in battle on her behalf and reveal every hidden thing and return to her all that Is hers NOW in Jesus’ Name. Let the thief be located and peace be the portion of Cree in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
      It’s hard to rest when your heart is heavy. So I’m praying that God floods your heart with peace in the midst of your pain. Don’t let what you’re going through take your life. There’s so much more to you than what’s trying to break you. You’re special and we need you. Keep praying, keep fighting, keep living! #RehabTime

      • Sheena West OOOO! I love you sooo much honey! I want you to know that the devil attacks us when we are at our best. When you serving others, loving on people, when you walking talk in the glory of God, and when you start living for others and not youself. I love you. You are a warrior in christ and all his followers are in a battle, but the beauty of it all is the war is already won. Remember that the devil only has lies as his weapon, and in a battle he will bring up things from your passed to stop you. He will bring up things that Jesus has chosen to forget. Don’t let him tell you what you already know. everything has been covered by the blood and jesus loves and accepts how you are. No matter what the devil throws your way always remember that jesus is with you for he never forsakes us. His will is always done in the end. Psalms 23 says “ye though I walk in the shadow of death thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff comfort me. Thy PREPAREST a table in the PRESENCE OF THINE ENEMIES. You continue to do what he calls your heart to and if you and my sister ever need anything call me! Also, if yall run out of places to go for yall birthday I would love to show yall around California!<3!

Out of My Comfort Zone Crees Blog Entry

2011-11-06 16-17-50.514
Sitting here thinking about my life. Who would have guessed it would be this way? No…… not that its bad. What I mean is……God knows me… so well…. LOL He knew if someone had asked me the end of 2012, would I have moved out of my 4 bedroom brick home for the life I have now? My answer would be NO. Never in a million years.
 
 
See…. that’s the beauty in God.
 
 
He knew that if I had a peek into my NOW future, that I would have stayed in my comfort zone. He knew it. He knew it. He knew it. He knew it. He knew it. He knew it.
 
 
I have “narrow down” my closet of friendships that does not fit me at this time in my life. I have realized that I have changed in my way of thinking, and looking at things. God is moving me forward and preparing me for something GREAT. I feel it. I know it. I’m being prepared for GREATNESS. I’ve been tried in every arena this last year and a half. If I think about it too hard.. I’ll either cry or FLEX my muscles. LOL God has really moved me COMPLETLY out of my comfort zone. I cannot go back to life as I once knew it. I can never get so comfortable that its hard to “move” again. I am officially on the move. I am no longer doing things LaCreasea’s way. I am no longer in charge. God has made that CLEAR to me. All I can do right now… is throw my hands up and surrender. And as “tired” as I am fighting…. I GLADLY SURRENDER.         *smiling*
 
 
For a woman such as myself… who has always been in charge… this is really… I MEAN REALLY a humble beginning. I have totally surrendered myself to the fact where I am blindfolded, walking with a cane, and God holding my right arm. I can’t even explain this like I want to… some will get it. God has shown me that everything I have asked for he gave to me. Jobs, homes, my one and only daughter, the best friends, the best parents, the best sisters and brother. I’ve never been without.
 
 
God has truly been good to me. I can never Thank him enough for sending someone special into my life. This person has told me time and time again these things that’s going on right now. Um um um… smh.. I didn’t get any of it then.  But I get it now. Still learning.
 
 
Be Blessed

Being a Christian is hard!!! Crees Blog Entry

babycree
Growing up my parents were split when it came to voicing our opinion. My dad allowed it, but my mom didn’t. As long as we kept our voice in check, not hollering or talking loud, he would listen. With my mom, whatever she said WENT… that’s how it was. LOL Thinking about it now, this is why me and my siblings are very opinionated because for one, we weren’t allowed to fight, and for two, we could express how we felt. So now that we’re all grown….. we ALL have a hard time learning to control what comes out of our mouths. None of us will curse you out…. but we’d keep going until WE feel our point has been made.
 
 
Which brings me to this. Being a Christian is hard work. You have to always be in position to represent Christ. And yes its hard. You can’t say what you want to say. And if you do, as a Christian, you have to learn NOT to OFFEND… but to make sure you get the point across, so that they’ll get the message. No matter how much you smile, speak to people with a friendly tone, people will still try you. Thing is, you have to really work on keeping yourself together. Its one of the hardest things I’ve had to learn. Its very hard. Right now in my life, I don’t know if I’m just going through something and I feel a little more sensitive, or is it that I’ve ignore things that really should be put to an end. Side talking, smart mouth people, who have always been this way have really gotten it from me lately. I’m just not dealing with it anymore. It’s a SHAME how much I let get pass me, for the sake of “trying to stay friends/cool”. Makes me feel that friendships ended long time ago, and that I was the one holding it together by “salt coating” and changing the subject for the sake of arguing or having a debate. #donewiththat
 
 
With me coming to that conclusion….. I wonder sometimes if I’m a good person? Am I pleasing God? I wonder if I’m going to far, or if I over reacting. I’ve also notice how humble I can be. I have a habit of explaining something till there is nothing left. LOL I’ve been catching myself to say little as possible. People don’t need to know everything I KNOW. Most people don’t even care. Wow… the less I say.. the more people want to know. That’s funny.
 
 
Okay I’m rambling. I think too much. 
 
Be Blessed
