Last week I was getting ready for an event in Dallas. I picked out my outfit but like a typical lady, I changed about four times. I had clothes everywhere. I also had shoes and purses both upstairs and downstairs because I simply could not get my outfit right. I was running late but I couldn't leave because the house was a mess. If I was at my apartment it would have been okay, however I was at my dads and let me tell you he does NOT play. He likes his house tidy and super clean so I had to make sure everything was in place before I left. My very words were "I have to have the house ready because I don't know when my Father will return." WOAH. What revelation. 

Matthew 24:44 says

 "So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."

This spoke volumes for me because the same applies for the return of Christ. I (we) must have our hearts, minds, families, souls ready because we do not know when Christ will return. We can't be all over the place, and we can't be a dirty mess. We must trust the blood of Jesus now so that when he returns, we are covered. We cant save ourselves, but we can work out our salvation by believing Christ came, died, and rose for our eternal salvation. We can be ready by being obedient to his word and trusting that what we cant do he can help us through. I don't know about you, but I'm getting ready!

I love y'all and I pray you have a blessed week. Keep God 1st no matter what comes your way. Any questions, comments, concerns email me at kyliestores@yahoo.com.

About two years ago, I wrote a blog titled "There's 4 quarters for a reason." In honor of football season, I decided to do a part 2. You see, September is special because it marks the beginning of the end of the year. There are only four months left in 2017, which should encourage you to give it your all. What will you do?

God has given me time in  the past two weeks to reflect, pray, and relax, and I believe its for the very purpose to be great in the next four months. I wrote out five goals I want to complete before the end of 2017, and I encourage you to do the same thing. God has given us so many talents, spiritual gifts, and dreams he wants us to fulfill. Ask yourself: "Am I holding up my end of the bargain?"  This week I encourage you to start ONE NEW GOAL. Ill start.

One of my new goals is to witness like never before so I want to ask, if you do not have a relationship with Christ...email me. If you are not sure if you are saved right now...email me. If you are not 100% sure you will be in heaven when you depart this earth...email me. My duty is to do this and do this for real.

I love you all and I pray you have a blessed week. Email me at kyliestores@yahoo.com for all questions, comments, or concerns. I pray God blows your mind this week.

Love,
Kylie

“I never asked you, how did you feel!” Those were words my hair dresser said to me a few years back concerning things that were going on in my life. I wish I had her ask me those questions last week because boy would I have a lot to tell her. The devil was super busy in my ear about who I was. I was trying to live up to things that I was already blessed beyond. I was hurt because I did not feel worthy. I had a quick moment where I felt cursed and down, and I was simply tired! You know those days and weeks where you are just blah! Well I suggest you pray that spirit off you and meditate on Psalm 139:14 (NIV):

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
It doesn’t matter how you feel or felt, I’m here you tell you that you are enough! You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I don’t have a story or analogy to give, I just want to encourage you to sit in the fact that you are enough. You cannot be anyone else or who other people wish you were. You cannot help how you were raised or your background. You can’t change the way you talk or dress, you just have to know you are enough! No matter what anyone says, you are enough. This week just sit in Psalm 139:14 and write 1000 times I AM ENOUGH!

I love you and I pray you have a blessed week. Send any questions, comments, concerns to kyliestores@yahoo.com. Pray for me!
