Life on Pursuit

Wrap me in your arms Where I will abide  Closer to your love  Pure and light  Ascending like a dove  Like a starving child I cling to you Overwhelm me with the heavens above  I want more of you, Take all of  me...     You said two is better than one  So let us be two in one One body One mind One soul One spirit One heartbeat Binding with your covenant Strung together by a three-headed cord Standing strong, you hold us up No one can break up what you put together No one can separate us from your love ©      ~ Star Latty Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 King James Version 9 Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow but woe to him that is alone when he falleth for he hath not another to help him up.  11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him and a three...

Another year has gone by and boy has it been a big year of change, bad and good... Your probably wondering how could there be any good that has come out of the past year but trust me when I say that light shines through darkness and you can always find the good even in the bad. Yes,  2020 was a year of despair and fear but it was also a year of reflection and deliverance (at least for me). It  was definitely a year of change. A change that was uncomfortable and unsettling. A change that has led a lot of us to stop and reflect on our lives. A change that has been "a wake up call," as it showed us that we are not in control. Most importantly, it has been a change that involuntarily and voluntarily changed us. 2020 was by far the hardest year for me, for all of us, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually and that's a lot "ly's"  for anyone to handle but by God's mercy and grace I've made and keep making it through day by day. Nonetheless and w...

Transition    Lord break forth waters out of deserted land Where it's dry and weary Quench the thirst of my soul Create rivers out of swelling eyes As tiny crystals escape Capture it in your bottle for keepsake Are they not in your book? Lead me in the way I should go Make the crooked path straight You make a way out of no way You order my steps Guiding me through the wilderness A lantern at my feet My heart you well keep Bringing me to the other side To my love where I will abide Hidden, in your Holy Matrimony Happy New Year! ©      ~ Star Latty

Merry Belated Christmas everyone! I have reached my 30th blog, this calls for a celebration! Looking back at when I started I never knew what direction this blog would end up in but when I tell you how God just took over and provided me with the content, it is truly amazing! I'm telling you when you are really working in your gifting things in your life will start to flow easily and you will start to prosper in that area. This was one of the lessons I taught the youth at my church one Friday evening at Youth Night and now I'm telling you guys! I want each and everyone of us (including myself) to start living out our full potential and it is only by the grace of God and discovering what is given to us is when we will be able to live a successful and purpose-filled life. My Pastor once said in one of his sermons that there is no life, destiny, future that will ever be greater than the level of grace that is given to you. Our capacity cannot be greater than the grace given to us b...

What is Grace? I'm sure you guys have heard of it whether you are a Christian believer or not but a lot of us (even Christians) have a misconception on what it truly means and what it looks like to walk in God's grace within our lives.  Here is the basic definition of what Grace is :    The Grace of God is a gift that is not worked for but is freely given. There are different ways that God's grace can be applied to our lives but we are going to focus on the grace of salvation. The grace of salvation means that no matter what mistakes you have done in your past life of sin, once you sincerely repent, the grace of God will take away the punishment and guilt and replace it with love. The love of God is like no other because it is everlasting and will not be taken away from you even when you mess up, you will still be able to reconcile and return back to Him.  " In him, we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of G...

In my previous blog, I shared my testimony of how I overcame depression and mentioned that in the process I had to make the decision to choose joy. I realized as some of you reached out to me, that I needed to fully explain how I did that because for some it might have read as a simple thing to say but you're wondering how I actually did it. For this exact reason, I wanted to make a follow-up blog on the steps that I took to choose joy.      Choosing joy is not an easy task to do, in fact, I would say it's even harder than being sad, which is why I am going to emphasize that this is not an overnight transformation. So, if you choose to follow these steps just know it's not a one-time thing to do and expect results but a thing that you need to continually do because it is a process. Now, let's get to it, how do you choose joy?      1. Realize that it is a choice  I would say the first step to choosing joy is coming to the realization that it is a CHOICE...

I'm going to admit that this blog is one of the hardest blogs I have ever made but the Lord said to testify of His wonderful works. So, here I am testifying about the goodness of God because he delivered me from depression, which is a mood disorder that affects the lives of so many today. For this reason, I believe that God is calling me to share my testimony so that it can be an encouragement for others to never give up and to turn to God because he is a merciful Father that cares for our well-being. Honestly, I never would have made it without him.      Looking back over  my life, I have come to realize that deliverance just like healing is a process and that there is a time and place for that deliverance to happen. I have also realized that there is a season for everything we go through, which ecclesiastics 3 so greatly explains. We gain our life experiences through these different seasons of our lives but just like these seasons our experiences change; howe...
