Who’s ready to take their faith levels to C- #Craycray in 2016? Let them laugh and try to apply logic to every question they have about your destiny.

Living Example 1: Upon divine instruction in 2015, I literally left everything behind in New York City with my dog, four suitcases and only $120 cash to join a ministry and next level of life in Chicago. I will write more about my experiences later! Genesis 12:1 The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you…”

If you’re a true believer or desire to be a true believer of God (leave a comment below), you’ve got to possess a qualities of boldness and humility plus a solid identity of who you are especially at crucial turning points. I don’t toss random words out to get you hyped or to experience a temporary high, but rather they are motivating words to help get you to the next level and attain long life achievements. At my church, Living Word Christian Ministries, we hone in on possessing a personal relationship with God combined with faith. When these two combine, we welcome favor, elevation, the impossible and wealth to run and regulate our lives! This is the year of supernatural blessings. Now that 2016 has arrived, understand that God takes us from faith to faith throughout life. Romans 1:17 – “For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith.” What exactly does that mean? Simply said: As you elevate and grow, you will need bigger and purer faith to step into His promises for you. You are just through your faith. What you believed worked last season and/or last year, but a new faith is required to proceed. When we seek Him first, our faith muscle gets bigger and stronger.

How will develop your identity and faith this year? While your development is personal, I can guarantee you that this kingdom principle will prove success on a consistent basis for your developments in life. Romans 10:17- So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

So if God gave you an idea, dream or instruction that seems impossible, equip yourself with His word and crazy faith. His promises will come to pass in your life!

Have an EXCELLENT day, night, afternoon no matter where you are in the world!

Love,

ChesZerae

Have an EXCELLENT day my Brown Elite Loves. I decided to revive my blog as I have not updated it since last year. Allow me to reintroduce myself and why I decided to return to blog world.  Ready? Okay!!

1-IMG_6259[1].JPG

I am ChesZerae –Entertainer, Entrepreneur, Motivational Speaker and Doctoral Student. I recently took my 20 something years of living in my native place I once was so familiar with – New York City, 4 bags, my dog and $12o cash and made a drastic life changing decision. I moved to Chicago.  I am not quite sure if there are any words that can explain the feeling of doing such a thing! I will be sure to inform you all about my progress and eventful time in another big city.

New and familiar friends: I appreciate you and may God Bless you all!  Feel free to introduce yourselves as well. I am a BIG social bubble lady. I am very supportive and am pretty personable! Have an EXCELLENT day/night/afternoon no matter where you are in the world! I am thankful. You are beautiful. When you rise, I rise.

 This is the last day of 2015! Are you ready to cross over into the unknown?I believe you can control some parts of your “unknown” by activating your faith.  Speak great things into existence.  You don’t have to make the same mistakes like last year.  God gives us free will to use wisely and with Him in mind as primary consideration.  That is how you live freely released from the things that held you back!
I don’t anticipate being active in conversation and social media as much between today and Jan 3. my Brown Elite Loves (I will explain the meaning later)! I will be sure to post a Happy New Year “toast” to all!  Blood, sweat, prayers, tears- They’re all of a part of the greatness you’re dreaming about. Put it into action. As many times as I wanted to give up, I was reminded that other people’s blood can be on my hands. If I stop pursuing and establishing, somebody does not make it. If someone who holds a vital part of my destiny in their hands and decides quit, I am affected.  So you see? Our destinies are like domino effects.  Don’t stop living! Take this last day of the year to prepare for bigger and better. I love you all! 
Stay tuned!
Love,
Cheszerae : )

Miss Harlem Brown EyesZ- Shedding a lil’ light on ya!

Song of Solomon 2:16
My lover is mine, and I am his.

Proverbs 30:18-19
There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman

There’s someone I befriended on Facebook who has encouraged me to continue writing online about life (the good, the bad, the pretty, the ugly, etc). She’s been nothing but supportive of me in the natural and the spiritual realm. God Bless her. Okay, so here’s the mini deal: I am generally known for being the one who always has a joke and a drawn out explanation for something. Here’s some real talk for you….So I pulled this blog back up I wrote a year ago. I also added to it recently. Enjoy because this same topic popped up in conversation this weekend.

November 2008

Awww! I have been getting an overwhelming amount of love on MySpace and I see a lot of ya’ll miss my opinions and advice on today’s issues. So I decided I am bringing my blogs back.
The most brought up issue I keep hearing about is love. A lot of you are asking what love is. When will you find love and the list goes on. Someone asked me this question over the weekend: “How well do you understand love?” I paused for a bit, realizing that love is a strong word. I gathered my thoughts and expressed them as followed:
I hope this blog ( and my future blogs) opens eyes and hearts to fulfill a better life. Love is priceless, but it’s a hardship. Love is free, but if you’re not careful it can bind you up.
I recently found that people are throwing the “L” word around like demos for the music industry. For example, I’ll share some of my experiences with you all. How is it possible I’ve had more than one person tell me they love me for the year 2008 and we were not even halfway through the year? Or how about in 2006, three claimed to have loved me and I couldn’t spit those words back out to them. How long have I’ve known them? Not long enough if I am publicly sharing this experience. Or even in 2009, on the first date I am asked to be his girlfriend? I am not necessarily denying the feelings these young men may have, but it shows you the world is moving too fast and many don’t know what they are truly saying. I’ve talked to many friends, associates, strangers and have seen the broken hearts and even destroyed self-esteem caused by their so called “lovers” who did not mean to say “I love you” to them. It made me wonder and it was on my mind to discuss this issue. I am not a love expert, but I’ve been blessed with wisdom beyond my years and I want to share that wisdom with you all!
My advice to all is, if you love someone …make sure it is confirmed within you and sincerely SHOW THEM.
Love is not just a STATEMENT, it is AN ACTION. Now, take a look at the definition for the word statement. A Statement is a communication or declaration in speech or writing, setting forth facts, particulars, etc. Take a look at the definition listed for action. An Action is something done or performed; act; deed. Apparently they cannot logically be compared to one another and must CONSECUTIVELY occur one after the other. In other words
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: If you love someone who you want to commit to….SHOW THEM and be faithful to that person and them only! Your love cannot be sincere ( as much you would think it to be) if you find yourself dipping and dodging in other people’s “love spots.” This means you do not love that person entirely. Men would argue the case and declare they have love for their girlfriends and not love the other woman they’ve chosen to cheat with. From my understanding, I believe that is true. However it is not justified as being correct. That is not an excuse to violate a commitment.
Don’t fall in love with someone’s looks, it’s just a shell and will later on fade away.
Get on track and know how to decipher between true love and “puppy love.”
Puppy love is a deceptive joy ride. It’s all in the mind and hormones, and it hits at ANY age.
True love is from the heart and beyond the subliminal. Love should make you feel for a loss of words. True love is confirmed through God and no other force. If He didn’t bless it, it ain’t no truth in it.

If you have to question someone’s love for you, it’s just “puppy love.”

No, don’t bash everyone who comes at you with the “L” word, but please be advised many will talk the talk ( As I can personally testify) but very few can walk that walk!!

So what makes me happy and optimistic about love in this age? I believe God will connect you to the “chosen one,” if you’re careful not to share your love with counterfeit lovers that cross your paths. Discern and recognize. Pray for it. It’s already in you.

Freedom of Choice (Day 2)

How is everyone feeling today? Can you all believe we are all almost into mid year of 2010? I wanted to update everyone on my current decisions and new lifestyle. I brought a new bike although I haven’t named him yet! I am very excited because I always wanted to invest in a bike during my young adult years. I did exactly that with no one’s help except God. It was a pretty penny, but it was worth it.  So what’s this all about? Well I am starting another project. It’s not fully formulated and mapped out, but it is very similar to my 124 Day project ( See entries from last year by using the calendar above).   Today is day 2 and I am excited about it. Some will support me and others will be cut off. That’s how the seasons work in life!


Yesterday, I ran with my workout buddy a mile and a quarter along with several laps of walking. We feel accomplished and this is an activity I can see after a month will produce CRAZY HOTT results. Get a partner! Two is always better than one. You all are welcomed to keep up with my project as I would love for you to make a plan to start for yourselves. Let’s take care of ourselves! A great track to start at if you are in New York City is Riverbank State Park. Eating plans, mental plans, social plans all will affect my project for the better. (TBA)

So bare with me as I may post random subjects, but I guarantee they will speak to your life in many ways. I am free not bound by anyone, anything and I am only committed to what’s reciprocated. Some won’t approve, but since when were you under another human being’s control?  Remember you are FREE and God made you that way.


Explore your options in life.

Don’t settle for less, I stopped 🙂


Love, ChesZerae

Where is the love when you need it?

Is it wrong to want love reciprocated back to you? Should I feel disrespected if I am not someone’s concern when I need to talk?

I’m a big attention/love receiver when it comes to my circle. I like when they check on me to see how I am doing or just to send over well wishes for a productive day, or even when one of my homies say: ” I love that track you did!” These statements mean so much to me. Or let’s switch the scene. How about you receiving a phone call everyday from your special someone/husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend, etc.?  He/she’s just calling to tell you how much you are appreciated and loved. Or what about a a random gift giving frenzy throughout the year just to say I love you for who God has made you to be?  I am sure your heart has officially warmed up after reading a few lines.  Communication/Interaction between human beings is priceless and creates close to one of  the best feelings in the world. However, when we depend too much on someone else or on others to love us how we’d want to be loved can often develop into one of the worst feelings in the world.  God didn’t design us to reap and sow 100% dedication to one another as that is impossible. Expect people to be unreliable at any given point, but that doesn’t mean that the friendship/relationship/bond is not legit. It simply means dedicate and commit yourself first and foremost to God. He is our main source for love. He is our primary fountain of encouragement. He’s the one who will provide for you  more than any living human being. We must understand that the most one can only give is (if you are around good people) is 80%.  This means that you must make room within your heart to embrace the times when you may feel abandoned by them. Sometimes people have so much on their minds or they’re carrying the world on their shoulders , that they may not have the mental and emotional capacity to be there for you when you request. This is why God says walk with me in all that you do and let me love you as I created you with purpose. When we interact with others in this lifetime, create  a balance where you know where the love really can be found 24 hrs a day; that is within God.  If you have any anonymous questions you’d like to ask, ask me on http://www.formspring.me/cheszerae.

Love and Blessings to all eyes who see and ears that have heard.

123 Days LeftA pause, but not a halt…

Hello everyone! Yes, it has been some time, and is now time to catch up! I appreciate everyone’s direct and indirect participation with my project.  To refresh those who may have recently engaged in reading my posts, I am on a journey that lasts for 124 days.  Wow– I have one day left!  The time went by very fast.  It has been exciting, challenging, awakening, pretty difficult,  moments of disappointment, tears, laughter and smiles.  Of course there were times when I wanted to throw the towel in, but God encouraged my heart to continue on.

Learning to Let Go

My urges to do certain things have drastically died down. My relationships have changed, and I’ve left the past behind me.  During this period of time, I didn’t realize that I was carrying so many things with me from my past.  I look back and am in awe of the baggage I’ve dropped thus far.  It’s not over yet; for life is a consistent and ever-changing  journey.  We as human beings  have a desire to build comfort zones so that we may live a consistent life.  Guess what? It doesn’t happen this way. I was a bit thrown off when I kept hearing this on a frequent basis throughout my journey from an array of pastors.  It is not by coincidence I’ve  learned this. Many times we are led by the Holy Spirit to make moves and we ignore them because we are comfortable with what we have surrounding us.  When it’s time to drop something, drop it. Changing careers? Change it.  New Relationship? Accept it!  As I mentioned a couple months ago–as part of my 24 vows–I forgave every person that has ever hurt me in any degree ( only to my knowledge), and I have apologized (only to my knowledge) to everyone I’ve ever hurt to some degree.

I find it very peaceful to write in the middle of the night.  It triggers my focus, and I am able to communicate with God in a better way.

Dreams: Pleasant awakening of a Reality…

I’ve been having dreams about people and various surroundings for the last couple of years and have found many of them to occur in real life.  Some of the people, I could not approach as they made it very clear they were not open to understanding them.  I’ve learned that the dreams that God gives to me are warnings, visions and/or eye openers for me to live by.  No, my dreams are not disturbing like nightmares, lol. I don’t want to freak you all out!  I’ll share one with you:

Personal Testimony….

About a year ago, I dreamt I was in my bedroom, and my bed was the focus point. When I looked closer to see what appeared to be a baby on my pillow, it was indeed a baby boy. He was roughly 4 months (like a newborn).  He had on a gray two-piece suit and was light-skinned ( close to my complexion) and he was sleeping.  Babies usually lie of their stomachs, but his face was shown to me as he slept on his back.  Now for those of you who know me, I am not crazy about considering children as I am not married yet and as we,  my friends and I,  identify with being Young & Free, lol! I woke up really puzzled and I told God: YOU KNOW I AM NOT READY FOR KIDS, PLEASE TELL ME YOU’RE SHOWING ME ANOTHER MEANING OR SOMEONE ELSE’S CHILD.  Hey, I’m a relatively honest person.  I am not diggin’ the birth of a child out of wedlock, considering I am not prepared. This is what I learned and embrace over the last 123 days.

Now, my estranged father, has disappointed several times, more-so over the past couple of years. This project has moved to me to forgive and to move on.  I made a promise to God and myself. I am  not a promise maker, but I had to do this if I wanted to really “live.”  My heart is saddened for the daughters and sons who don’t receive the proper emotional support from their dads and/or moms.  I am blessed to have a mother who never taught me to hate the other non-supportive parent.  My anger was voluntary, and I allowed it to build up over the last few years.  It got so out of control, that I blamed myself and judged every single man I’ve ever met. Well, it was for a reason as some of them really didn’t have what it takes, lol.  But seriously, I had to do something about it, because if I blinded myself with such wickedness, I’d never meet my future Boaz ( Google Boaz) nor would I be a beautiful woman inside-out. I didn’t want to carry that generational curse from his end.  I can’t be bitter towards men because of him. I can’t adopt certain qualities of a stubborn man.  I can’t hurt others around me like a disconnected family member. I can’t rest my head and deliberately sabotage my children’s means of communicating with one another.  I can’t step into the world of fame, acquiring a position to save people in the world, but yet have a cold heart  behind closed doors towards mine own family or specific relatives.  I can’t cut my children off if they’ve experienced a downfall in their lifetime. I cannot and will not be HIM.  I even debate if I’ll allow him to walk me down the aisle when I  marry in the future or even mention him when I am famous.  I’m just being real!  Many people would have never known I’ve struggled with that over the years, but it is what it is. And God is so marvelous and loving to me. He softened my heart, and I still love! I never stopped loving.  Isn’t that awesome? Isn’t GOD great?!!  So, what does this have to do with my dream of the baby boy? ALOT!  I told you all I never stopped loving. I have 6 siblings from my father’s side.  All of them I know, but three I haven’t spoken to in years as they live with him and his wife.  I pray that changes.  The other 3, I went out of my way to contact and spend time with. I’ve bulit a pretty solid relationship with my two sisters and brother.  They are a part of me just as a full-blooded sibling.  Recently, June 10,2009, I found my big sister! It amazes me how Facebook is a great means of communication! I was so scared and excited at the same time because we didn’t see each other for over 7 years. I am so glad she hyphenated her name as she is married now!  I was not sure if she would be bitter towards me as our father didn’t really bring us together. I started out with a short note hoping I’d get a response back. I waited with anxiety over the next 24 hours. I know the Bible tells us we should not be anxious over anything, but this was so new to me! When she responded back, I was moved! She was so positive about it and agreed we didn’t have to talk about the past. She and my bro-in-law are saved!! We were able to connect having that similarity!  Now get this, as she wrote me, she told me to check out the family album posted ( those of you who know about Facebook).  Oh my God, I am an Auntie! And guess what?  His name is Daniel, and he is now 7 months old (June 12, he made 6 months).  I finally understood and confirmed my dream. I dreamt of a connection I would later build.  I saw him in the Spirit before he was born. This was very meaningful to me.

We eventually moved on to talking on the phone ( taking it slow was the best remedy). I stayed with her, my bro-in-law and my nephew  this past July 4th weekend, and we had so much fun.  What touched me the most was this: No matter who or what comes in the way, If God said it, it is SAID AND DONE.  I am so overjoyed to know that Daniel ( my nephew) will grow up knowing me.  He is loved, and he’s a special boy!  I am sure someone out there needed to read this testimony. Know that if you reach out, you’ll get something back.
