Choosing insanity over God.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

I go to sleep praying, wake up in the middle of the night praying, start my day praying, pray throughout the day for the same thing. Praying is good but it's not the only thing to be doing when you want to see change in your life. You have to believe in God.

I read on instagram "If you keep going through the same thing, it's God still trying to teach you a lesson that you haven't learned".

I would love God to help me in every aspect of my life and I don't let him. I want so much. But don't give myself first. Being a child of God is what every person should be so happy to be. God will love nothing more than to bless his children with whatever their hearts desire.  We just have to give ourselves first.
Why do you think these people who live for God, who dedicate their lives, who are pastors, who are evangelists have everything they could ever want? People say "why does a pastor need a mansion or a nice car?"... Well why does a rapper need a nice mansion and nice cars?? Does a child of God not deserve the best too?

Feeling discouraged, like I do right now, is normal. We're human. But, just like I need to, we all need to keep on praying and moving forward. God had so much in store for us we just have to believe it. The same way people who don't serve the Lord are able to get what they want, we need to believe that we can get it too.

We believe that all these bad things can happen to us, but why can't we believe that good can happen to us too? "That couple doesn't serve the Lord and yet they're happy". Well you know what our marriages can be happy too. We just have to believe. "They are atheists and have a really good jobs and make good money". We can have the same. Believe. Believe. Believe. Following Jesus is not about seeing things happening. It's about believing they will. We have to walk by faith, not by sight.

Lord Jesus, I pray for myself and for everyone else reading this, that you will give us the faith as small as mustard seed, because you say that's all we need to be able to move mountains. We need you Lord. Let us not live life on our own understandings but Yours. Open the eyes of our hearts. Clear our minds from negativity. Take away all roots of depression, loneliness, jealousy and anger Lord. For you are with us and you are Joy and happiness. Let us do the right thing always. And put it into our hearts to want to study, learn, hear, meditate, memorize Your word Jesus. For that is the only way that we can truly know You and be the people we were meant to be. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Luke 17:6 NLT
The Lord answered, “If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘May you be uprooted and thrown into the sea,’ and it would obey you!

Psalms 143:7 NLT
Come quickly, lord , and answer me, for my depression deepens. Don’t turn away from me, or I will die.

Ephesians 4:27 NLT
for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

Proverbs 14:30 NLT
A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones.

Psalms 119:2 NLT
Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts.

For some encouraging words and prayer call these wonderful people.

Ups & Downs of Life

Serena's smile is the UP in my life



I look forward to Sundays all week. All I want is to be in church with my brothers and sisters in Christ and worship the Lord. And of course when the enemy knows that he does everything in his power to make me not wanna go. And that's how it's always gonna be. The moment you want to just dedicate your life to Jesus everything is going to go wrong. Because when you're not serving the Lord everything may not be 100% phenomenal but it's OK. And that's because he doesn't really bother you when you're exactly where he wants you to be.

Today I woke up with my outfit ready, Serena's outfit ready, makeup was good, hair was okay. Then all of a sudden I hated my clothes. I hated my makeup. I hated my hair. Everything looked horrible. I felt fat. The Enemy was making me feel like I didn't want to go. But I still went. The Enemy kept distracting my mind during the service, with making me think about my husband and our current situation. And I'm like "why?!?!". But no. I declare in the might name of Jesus that my husband and I will be exactly what my heart desires. Which is 2 people who put God first. Who worship together. And pray together. Who are utterly happy because of the lord.

I say that God wouldn't allow me, his daughter, to be miserable and will give me someone new if my husband isn't IT. But God has shown me parts of my future and it is with my husband. And I've seen how GREAT things are going to be. And that's exactly why the devil loves to torture me through my husband. He pulls my husband away from me because he knows how much I love him. He makes me see all the other "happy" couples. And couples that aren't even in church. Which aren't really happy. But he makes see them as "happy" so I can be sad. 

But I just have to keep praying. And it's funny because I feel like I'm kind of preaching to myself right now. Because I do just get sad. And just feel like sleeping all day and not doing anything. So it's like since I'm able to talk to you guys I'm also helping myself. So I thank God for you.

Lord God I pray for all of us. I pray that you give us strength when we need it. Which is basically every second of every day. Lord God I pray that you open our eyes. You fill us Lord with your love. I pray that we remember that you are ALWAYS with us. You will never leave us. I pray that the moment the enemy tries and tell us that you have given up on us, that you aren't listening to us, that we will rebuke him in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord God I thank you that we've already won this fight. That we can overcome this world because you have already overcome this world Jesus. I thank you. And I praise You. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Love you guys!!!

it's a Torres thing.

What an awesome day with the family. 

I love when you don't see your family for a while and you get together for someones birthday and it's like nothing. Like you just saw them yesterday. That's REAL family stuff. We may talk about one another but we'll always love each other and have each other's back.

Sean aka Birthday Boy ...excuse the way my mom looks lol



Today was my little (not so little) cousin's birthday. He turned 19. Like come on!!! Where is the time going?!?!?!? I remember when my mom use to babysit him. Sheesh. He's looking at handsome and what not. Definitely a Torres thing. lol. He's like the perfect son. Handsome. Smart. In College. Going to be a doctor. He's my dream guy except he's related. So yea ... that sucks. lol I'm so proud of him.


daddy & titi Ivy






Even my dad had a good time with my titi. Who says Christians can't have a good time?? My dad is such an inspiration to me. For so long he's always been the one pushing us as teens to go to church. And always telling us to put God first. He's so great. He literally quit smoking ,after like 10 years +, from one day to the next. And he doesn't drink anymore. And I don't consider a glass of wine drinking. I mean drinking to get drunk. He's not about that life anymore. He's grown up... in Christ.




Serena and Serena the dolly

We even found Serena's twin, in dolly form. It was so cute. Tan, brown eyes, curly hair. Yup it's Serena. I was watching her today and shes just so big. I've been missing her as a baby. Holding her on my chest, breastfeeding her. I just told my sister that the moment I feel like having another one (which is soon i think) I'm just going to get a dog. Because for now, I think 1 is good enough for me. Why not just give a puppy a good home?





What a perfect pic to end my blog for the day -->

Lord God I thank You for my family. I thank You for how different we are because we bring so many different things to the table. I pray that You keep each and every one of them safe as the night comes to an end. That they will make home safe and sound. I pray that You bless Seanie with many more years. And I pray in JESUS name that You save my family. In fact, Lord Jesus, THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY FAMILY!!! In Your name I pray. AMEN!!!


LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

Kids Grow Up Too Fast !!

Don't mind the messy hair. She had JUST woke up.
My daughter is 11 months today. She's officially ONLY walking . So that means baby proofing everything. What a good time that's gonna be. She's touching everything. She's opening up every cabinet, taking out everything that's in them. Pushing doors open and crying when they close. lol. But it's OK. I ask for patience and here is my time to get some. And the fact that she's turning 1 next month. It's just amazing. This time has passed by so fast. I literally feel like I just gave birth to her. And now having to plan a birthday, switching over from formula to whole milk, and teaching her how to talk. I have my work cut out for me.

One thing, I did realize, I yell too much. Like by me speaking louder than normal would help teach her. Because I assure you it's totally not. If anything it's making her give me attitude back. It's not cute and I need to stop. Maybe the "speaking calm" to your child thing actually works. 

I really want Serena to be a good kid. I want to be a good example for her. She IS after all a reflection of me. And I want her to be sweet and gentle. And I also want her to love God at a young age. When I see kids that have been raised loving and fearing the Lord since they were little, I wish that was me. Even though my parents did instill that in us too but I mean like from the get. Constantly, take her to church and have her get involved into things. Have friends that believe in the same things as she does. That's something I never really had. 

When you think about it. God blesses us with our children. They are in fact HIS children. We are basically raising them for Him. So we have to do the right thing. Help put them on the right path. I just want to see Serena not be the person that I was. She doesn't HAVE TO make mistakes. She could just give her life to God and live the right way. The way God wants her to. And she will be SO blessed. And I would be so blessed to be able to see that. 

Lord God, I just pray for every single child out there. That they will grow up with that  love for you and that "fear" for you. Not to be scared of you but to want to seek after you. That they will have a void and KNOW that only YOU can fill it, Jesus. I pray that you protect them, send Your angels to watch over them, and bless them Lord God. Bless them with what they need. Deliver them from any bad situation they might be in. And cover them with Your love, in the might name of Jesus. Amen.

Love you Guys!!

Am I boring?

I look at this world and it pisses me off. 

It pisses me off because I was once a part of this world and I can't believe myself. 

I can't believe I allowed myself to party all the time and get drunk and wear inappropriate clothing and God knows what else. And for what?! When I look at people who are my age or, even worse, younger than me doing all the things I say for what??  Because if it was gonna do any of us any good, I would still be doing it today because I would be so happy and there would be no void in my heart.
But I'm not. There was a void in my heart. And it was calling for Jesus.

And why is it that people think that once you're saved and choose to follow Jesus that's it! Your life is over!  YOU'RE CORNY AND BORING!! And I'm not. I'm the same person. My life has just begun. I just don't need to put things into my body to have a good time. 

I love my life. 

And yes I do miss having fun but I miss having fun with the people, not with what we were doing. And I personally don't always wanna be around people who are smoking and drinking and cursing up a storm because that's who I use to be and I don't wanna go back.  I need people who are going to be good for me. You wouldn't put an ex-addict to hang out with addicts, you'd have them with sober people. Who would help them and encourage them.

This world that we live in has absolutely nothing to offer us in the long run. All it has is "feel-good-right-now" type of life. And yea that's OK for... Right now...  But what about the rest of the time?
People always cry out to God when they need something. And hey I do that too. But I also say thank you. And I have conversations with God. It's just like every other relationship. You wouldn't call your spouse only when you need something. I don't know about you but I like to chit chat.
People are too worried about when is the next time they're gonna have a drink to say thank you.
Too worried about when they're gonna go chill with their boys or with their girls to stop and say "hey God, thanks for always allowing me to get home safe and not letting me die on the road. Thanks for bringing me back home to my wife or husband or kids".

It gets me SO mad because I was them. I never cared. All I wanted to do was have fun and always thought nothing bad would ever happen to me. And because of God's love and mercy, nothing ever did. He has a plan for me. And he has a plan for you too.

STOP RUNNING. STOP LEAVING HIM FOR TOMORROW OR FOR WHEN YOU "GET OLD".

You could die tomorrow walking to your car. Or to the store. Or you could just not wake up from going to sleep.

Ask Jesus to forgive you. Accept Him into your heart as your lord and Savior.

What makes me sad is that for the people who read posts like this and just ignore them. When the time comes and judgment day is here, it says that every time you hear anything that has to do with the word of God, it will just replay over and over like a movie. So you could see all the chances you had to turn away from this life.

I did it. Lots of people do it. And you won't be boring or corny. You could still have fun. 

And if you feel like you need alcohol or drugs or anything along those lines to have "fun" then you need HELP and you need to comment below with your name so I can personally pray for you.

love you guys!!!

Marriage vs. the Enemy

Sometimes I wonder why my road in life is so difficult?
The enemy tries to CONSTANTLY tell me that I'm no good. What's the point of praying to God? You have nothing good in your life. Nothing is going to workout for you. And honestly, sometimes, I might fall for a second but I am the daughter of a King, the Almighty God, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the End. Why would a daughter of someone like that let the enemy get her full attention? I should be living life with JOY, HAPPINESS, & HARMONY.

When I start doing the "right" thing, he throws curve balls at me. 
Today he attacked me through my marriage. Which in fact that's the only thing he uses against me. We all know marriages ARE NOT easy. And we all know that the Lord our God thinks VERY HIGHLY of marriages. So the enemy will do anything and everything he can to split people up. That's why he loves to use mine against me. Because he knows I love my marriage and I will FIGHT for it.
  • Matthew 19:6 (NLT)

    Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”

And I feel like the more I pray and try to speak God words to you guys the more he uses my husband against me. And you know what, it's OK. Because it just shows me how pissed he's getting. My prayers are going up and soon God's blessings will be coming down. And the enemy HATES that. He would love nothing more than to see us get divorced and watch us be miserable. But NO! Not me. I WILL be the woman who gets out of bed in the morning and the devil will say "OH NO, SHES UP!!"

The moment you start praying you're pissing the devil off and he's going to do anything and everything in his power to bring you back down. But that's when you need to pray harder. After he tried messing with me today, instead of giving up and getting pissed, I went to family night at Church and listened to the word of God. Which was exactly what I needed to hear and I am so happy I went. Just keep pushing through to the Lord and he will  bless you.

A good wife is a praying wife. If you're married and having a hard time just declare your marriage restored. Don't say "God save my marriage" say "THANK YOU GOD FOR SAVING MY MARRIAGE". There's a big difference.

Lord God, I not only pray for marriages around the world but any relationship that is going through some turmoil right now. I declare restoration. I declare peace. I declare every hardened heart softened. I declare all pride wiped away. I declare any type of resentment, anger, jealousy, depression GONE in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

love you guys!

Family ❤

A little bit of what's on my mind...

Personally, family is so important to me. My parents raised my sister, my brother and myself thinking that we didn't need friends. All we needed was each other. And even to this day I still think like that. I will usually choose family over anyone. So when I see my family not getting along it hurts me. Why hold a grudge? We're blood. And I know now that as we get older and we are going to have our own families but I don't think anyone should ever be upset with their parents or siblings to the point of not talking anymore.

Tomorrow isn't promised to us. 
So why do we always leave relationships for tomorrow??  Our time can be up at any moment.

So... with that being said...
Is the Lord God not our father?? 
Should we not want a relationship with him today?? People constantly put Him off for tomorrow. I can't lie,  I was one of those people. But looking back I'm so mad I left him in the first place. He was, is, and will continue to be the best thing in my life. He's made me new. And shown me things that only pushes me to get closer to him. Every day he changes me. He took away any resentment, anger issues, trust issues, jealousy that I've had and threw them at the bottom of the ocean. He is phenomenal and I couldn't imagine life without Him.  I'm not going to lie the enemy likes to attack me using those very feelings that God took away. But as fast as he makes me feel them that's as fast the Lord God takes them away if I ask him to.

If you continue to not have a one on one with him, a real relationship, stop. And choose him today!! He will only make you happy. Don't worry about all the things you feel like you need to stop and change. Just pray. Pray that God will take these things away and before you know he will. You won't have to do a thing. Anything done in you, in me, is his doing. Not ours. Trust him. Believe in him. And he will bless you.
Sheesh I actually needed this right now. Lol
Father God, I come before you now, and I pray for my brothers and sisters. I pray that they come to you Lord God. That they will give their lives to you. Because you know its only for the best. I pray that you will fill them with Your holy Spirit and with your love. I know they may think they know what love is Lord, but how can they know love when they don't have you, and you are love? I pray they find you and hold on to you and never let you go. Fill us with your grace Lord God. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
Love you guys!!!

Sunday Funday

I love Sundays. 
I get to go to a  place I calm home, with people I call family, Calvary Temple in Wayne, NJ
The service today was the BOMB! We had the "younger people" worshiping. Can't say youth anymore because they are around my age, so young people they will be. And I just love when they sing. It's just more my cup of tea and they get so into it, it's phenomenal. But anyways we had the youth pastor, Pastor Josh Escobar, preach the word today. And that was also phenomenal. 
I got all the notes so I can share them with you guys.
Just in case you were looking for a reason to read the bible and didn't have one. lol.

Vessels

God is Limitless.
Glory = goodness, in the widest sense. Nothing is withheld. No holding back. Without measure, to over overflow.
  • A VESSEL needs to be MOLD-ABLE. (Jeremiah 18:4)
  • A VESSEL needs to be BREAKABLE. ( Luke 7:37)
  • A VESSEL needs to be AVAILABLE. (Isaiah 6:8)
Why?? TO SEE THE SURPASSING POWER BELONGS TO GOD.

Such a great service!!
Lord God I thank you for this moment right now that I am able to share your word with these wonderful people. May you bless them and care for them. Watch over them right now Lord God. Heal their hearts.
Draw them closer to you.
In Jesus' name I pray. AMEN.




And besides going to church it's a day to spend time with my family.  

My Daddy & Mommy with Serena.

Serena actually fell asleep in church.
I was soooooo happy.



I didn't get to take any pics of my outfits... but my outfit for church was inspired by none other than Kim Kardashian West lol. I wore a regular t-shirt (that hubby gave me) with skinny jeans and wedges. And my after church outfit was a shirt, shorts, long sleeve flannel wrapped around the waist and my crazy 8's (Adidas).



Went to my brothers house for a few to eat and chit chat with the famz and now I will be spending the rest of my night relaxing and watching some TV.


Hope you had an AWESOME SUNDAY!!
LOVE YA!!

Word of Encouragement and #MOTD

Word of God speak

I was thinking last night before going to sleep that I wish I knew what to say or do to help reach people for God. And it could be this. You reading this right now. Who knows?? Lol
So I just wanted to say that NO MATTER what you're going through, when you feel like you're all alone and have no one. Just know God is with you. He will never abandon or forsake you.
Lamentations 3:31 "For no one is abandoned by the Lord forever."
Cry out to him and He will be there. Ask Him for forgiveness and you are forgiven. Don't ever think what you're doing is "TOO MUCH" for God. He created the heavens and the earth. NOTHING is ever going to be "too much" for Him.
Psalms 65:3 "Though we are overwhelmed by our sins, You forgive them all."
As a parent, no matter what Serena does I will forgive her and look past it. Because there is nothing she can do that will ever make me stop loving her or leave her. So imagine GOD. His love is so much bigger than that. He knows no hate. HE IS LOVE. 
1 John 4:8 "But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love."
So stop and take a second. Are you in need of some Jesus?? Because He's just waiting for you to give Him a call. 
Jesus, I pray for the person reading this. That you will touch them Lord God. That you will fill the voids in their heart with Your love & Holy Spirit, so they may get to know you better. In Your divine and holy name I pray, AMEN!!

#MOTD

I forgot to let you guys know what I was on my face yesterday....
  1. To conceal my under eye dark circles I used MAYBELLINE New York Instant Age Rewind Eraser in 190 Nude.
  2. To set it I used NARS powder foundation in Medium3 BARCELONA and I also used it all over my face.
  3. As a bronzer I used Tokidoki in Royal Pride Light/Medium and I applied it on my cheeks as a contour, as well as on my temples, jawline and neck. (Sephora stopped selling this bronzer)
  4. For blush I used the bhcosmetics That's Heart Eyeshadow & Blush Palette
  5. On the eyes I started off with Urban Decay NAKED Basics palette in Naked2 all over the eye lid. Using that same palette I used FOXY to highlight under the brows and VENUS in the inner corners. For the crease I used bhcosmetics Eyes on the '60s palette and it's the Orange reddish color. 3rd row, the 5th one from left to right. It's a beautiful color for summer. 
  6. For the water line I used Wet N Wild Fergie On Edge Long wearing Eye Pencil in A256 Space Cake
  7. To color in my eyebrow's I used the Urban Decay NAKED Palette in BUCK. And to set it I used E.L.F. Eyebrow Treat & Tame in #81201 it say light but the color is a nice brown.
  8. Mascara is RIMMEL London Lash Accelerator in Black.
  9. Lips I just used EOS lip balm, went natural.
That's it. And that's kind of my simple "everyday" look.

Serena & Lipstick

Today was one of those days that made me love being a parent. Serena behaved so well and was practicing her walking so much, it made me feel so proud. I look at her and can't believe she's going to be a year already. It literally feels like the other day I brought her home. They weren't kidding when they said time is going to fly. At one point I started thinking about all the babies out there that have something wrong with them or aren't healthy. And it made me really appreciate the fact that God blessed me with a daughter that's 100% healthy. That all the things she does that "annoys" me isn't that big of a deal. Because I'm pretty sure there's plenty of mommies out there that wish their baby's only problem was that they "annoyed" them. Thank you Jesus for all that you've given me and have yet to give me.


1 Chronicles 16:34 NLT

Give thanks to the lord , for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.

In other news...  I started making a birthday wish list,  since my birthday is in like a week and a half. There's not a lot that I want but the few things I do want are a little pricey Lol. So far here's what I got...

Yves Saint Laurent Lipstick in #10 Beige Tribute - I saw Samantzha aka Batalash Beauty on YouTube with this lipstick and it is to die. I know my lips would look so good with this color.


 Yves Saint Laurent Lipstick in #12 corail incandescent



House of Lashes lashes in Siren - I need to start racking up on some lashes. Sometimes I feel like my makeup is absolutely perfect but there's always something missing. And I know it's that.

And last but not least....

Ninja PRO Blender - I want to start juicing so bad. I think my body could totally use it as a cleanse. I really need to get rid of all the toxins in my body. I bet I would shed these last few pounds and to top it off, look and feel better too.

So hopefully I could get something off my wishlist. I'm not gonna be sad if I don't because I know eventually God will give me exactly what I want. Even if it is a lousy (not so lousy) lipstick. Lol
Well love ya. *kisses*

That booty, oh, that booty

 All I want is to have a booty like Kim Kardashian West. I know I won't have it as big as hers but still. I can dream. Or I can actually work on it. I've been slacking the last week or so because I hurt my abs while working out. But I'm back at it today.
It feels so good to see progress in the mirror but to also have your hubby to tell you "Your butt is starting to look and feel bigger" is a total motivator. Knowing he likes what he sees (and feels lol) makes me want to eat healthier and want to work out more.
Not that I only do it for him but, when you only do things for yourself, you can easily convince yourself to not do things too. "I'll start tomorrow" is always my thing. SO NO!! I'm starting today. Lol

And I have to say it's not only her body that I love but her style. What girl doesn't want to dress like Kim?? Or want her makeup to be just like hers? Kim is a big inspiration for most of my makeup looks. Even though I know she doesn't dress herself or do her own hair and makeup, but then, I would want to have the talent like those people, like Joyce Bonelli. They really inspire me to be big. So for now I will just have to have her as my muse. LOL.

Light Shines, Darkness Fades

Trying to follow the light in the darkness isn't always easy but it is a necessity. Each and every day I kind of fail when it comes to the promises I made God. Instead of just leaving everything at His feet, I constantly try to do things myself. Which is so stupid. I can't do anything by myself. I can't be a good mother by myself because I have absolutely no patience. And I can't be a good wife to a marriage that's had its ups and downs, literally from the start, without His grace. And I would definitely fall into depression if I were to take my eyes off of Him and look at my life at it's current situation. So...I thank God that He renews me every day to be better.

John 1:5 "The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it."

I'm going to be exactly who God wants me to be. And that's exactly who I'm suppose to be. He will provide everything. So watch out world!!!! Jesus/Mother/Wife/Makeup Guru is here!!!!
