A few days ago I started thinking about drawing closer to God.
During my prayer time, I’ve dedicated my thought life to “loving” instead of “asking”.
Here’s a RE-BLOG on this topic entitled: Gotta Stay Close to Him .
I hope this helps you!
I love you and I’m praying for you.

Spiritual Distraction… that’s an interesting phrase isn’t it. It’s a phrase I blurted out while talking with my husband about my blog feature on “people issues.”
You see, I realized a spiritual distraction is anything that can keep you from focusing your whole heart, soul, mind and strength on God.
People issues are a perfect example of spiritual distractions.
Think about it.
If you’re completely engaged and upset over a human being, then how can you be completely engaged with the all-knowing, supreme God of heaven and earth.
You simply can’t.
Don’t allow “people issues” to distract you from becoming a spiritual giant! It’s a trap!
I love you and I’m praying for you.

It’s good to know God’s love is enough to soothe our offended and defensive souls. Tonight’s blog is on Blogtalk radio. I continue to talk about the scriptures that help me get past any people issues.
I love you and I’m praying for you.

I’ve been thinking about my blog title for a few days and I wasn’t quite sure how I would approach this topic without feeling a sense of shame.
(SIDEBAR: It’s too much for me to write about in a blog. You got to read my book when it comes out someday . 🙂 )
Back to the story…
I remember a time when I was disappointed in myself. I was Sad. Mad. Hurt. Upset. Depressed. Dejected. Down. etc. etc.
In other words, I wasn’t Kimyetta… at all. I was living in habitual sin and I didn’t want to face it.
I started thinking about habitual sin in terms of stupidity. If you know what you know… then why do what you do?
Period.
In Romans 7:15, The Apostle Paul said, “I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate.”
Preach Paul Preach!
I realized something important.
Why keep going down the wrong street, when God has given you a detour. God has provided a way of escape.
We are not bound or enslaved to anything. God has provided the door to freedom… now all WE have to do is walk through it.
It’s our choice.
We can live free.
Everyday.
Join me.
I love you and I’m praying for you!
Forever Real,
Kimyetta
