Making Choices -

God has already chose you and He is just waiting for you…..for us to fall in line with the plans that He already set in place for our lives! So why not CHOOSE the only person who will NEVER abandon you in “any aspect” of your life?

Choose God – you will be very glad that you did!

Morning – Pep Talk 2 Self

Morning – Pep Talk 2 Self

This picture depicts  how BEAUTIFUL – QUAINT - LOVING - STRESS FREE -  & JOYFUL  I wish my life was!

Although I am indeed appreciative for the life that I do have! Some people did not wake up alive today so I am counting my blessings. Nonetheless, this photo looks like a place that you travel only in your dreams! This is seriously beautiful……

LIFE  is about attitude. It’s about how to maintain the proper attitude to enjoy the abundant life Jesusgives. Yes, it is a learned process because life has challenges. In fact, the opening chapter describes life as a process. Waiting is inevitable. In the process we will always be headed someplace else. That’s where the things that you have learned along the way comes into play.I have to be reminded that as God created different elements, He enjoyed what He had done, saying it is good.
 In similar manner, I must be encouraged  to enjoy our work. “Relish the moment,” is the advice she offers in reflecting on Psalm 118:24, “This is the day which the Lordhath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”I focus on not missing the  mark and what helps me is targeting communicating with God in the mundane tasks, noting, “”Secular things can become sacred things when the Lord is present.” I believe that ALL of life should be celebrated and enjoyed. It’s all a mindset! Attitude!
That is the kind of life Jesus came to give us. The things of God are powerful because it teaches you how to apply the truth of God’s Word to your everyday world.

The point is to enjoy where you are until you can get to where you are going…… so until then – I will wait and not focus on the path but where the path will lead!

Good Morning WORLD……. Today is a new day that none of us has ever seen…. so what are YOU going to do with it!! Positivity is KEY — Because today is surely not promised to any of us so I have started dancing until my feet hurts… laughing until my side aches…..

I have learned that mistakes are meant to be learned from and NOT repeating… so the remaining years that I may be graced with will be full of  less regrets as possible….

My struggles have proved for me to have remained strong and powerful…. practical and spiritual….I am indeed a gift and choose to make God proud!

Allowing God to work on me has been a painful yet joyful experience all at the same time…. LOL – Humility does not mean that I think less of MYSELF….. it just means that I have learned to think of myself less so that I can think of OTHERS!

It is important to realize that it is better to give than to receive…

This just does NOT mean money and gifts!!!!

Life is seriously made up of how we react to the things that happens in our everyday crazy lives…

Yeah crazy…dysfunctional…..unbearable….distraught….unbalanced etc…..etc…

I try to encourage people to control their thinking so that their actions do not take over and cause them to make wrong choices…

I want my family and friends to have big goals and big dreams…

I desire them to strive to achieve them….but at the same time I remind them that we all will make massive mistakes but there is surely no reason to beat yourself up!!

I am soooooo soooooo speaking from true experiences ..sad to say but that is LIFE!!

We have to learn to GIVE encouragement and receive it too… Be careful not to always act and pretend that you have it altogether!

Someone just saying a few kind sentences can shift your day….your mooment…..your mood….your week….your direction….your life…your true Destiny here on earth!!!

Faith and Me….

Faith and Me….

I don’t understand how God’s grace works but I just know that it does BUT faith is also involved… Faith is the kind of knowing that is central to how the kingdom of God operates.

We don’t have to understand how things will change for the better. We aren’t called to figure out how God is going to meet our need…We also don’t have to stay up all night imagining what scenarios will make happen next.

All we have to do is indeed believe that ” with God  – all things are possible – Matthew 19:26.

Transitions, even those that lead to better things, can STILL be very, very treacherous. The enemy knows that if you lose sight of God’s grace…..  please do know that the ACT of worry will indeed devour your PEACE!!

I have God’s agenda tucked away in my heart but sometimes I have noticed that my own very words had become negative that there were days that I could NOT even hear God speak to me.

We need people around us which I have always called ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNERS that will help us to kick our FAITH back into gear and remind us of who we are in CHRIST as well as HIS promises.

In all reality – it is okay to become down “for a moment”….. the down – fall comes into play when we WALLOW in our worries / sorrows / doubts / misunderstandings!

The measure of FAITH is not about how much that you have but more so what you do with WHAT YOU HAVE!

Honor….Nurture and Respect what you have so that you can adequately use it to get you AHEAD and moving forward toward your DESTINY and God’s Kingdom.

Remember that doing good cant save you and give you keys to the Kingdom …. You have to accept Christ into your heart so that you can indeed REAP the benefits like establishing FAITH which is all connected to your true connection God.

Evening Book Reading

Evening Book Reading

 This poem that I just read REALLY was enlightening for me and it is soooo something that  I could have written myself! This lady literally just seems as if she is just so free from STUFF that I was so moved that I had to share my Nighly Poem read. image

She Let Go

Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of fear. She let go of judgments. She let go of the
confluence of
opinions swarming around her head.
… She let go of the committee of indecision within her. She let go of all the
‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She just let go.
She let go of all the memories that held her back. She let go of all of the
anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it
just
right. She didn’t promise to let go. She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer. She made no public
announcement. She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily
horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go. She didn’t call her
friends to
discuss the matter. She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened. There was no applause or
congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her. No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort. There was no struggle. It wasn’t good. It wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be. A small smile came over her
face. A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.
Here’s to giving ourselves the gift of letting go…
There’s only one guru ~ you.

I will ….I can…..I must be God’s example

Besides!!!  Matthew 6:34 only instructs me to work on TODAY….because tomorrow will surely take care of itself

Got Freedom?

Friday Freedom…..There is no Problem in Crying….But MAKE SURE you CRY to the RIGHT PERSON!…

NOT EVERYONE who say “I am praying for you” actually do! Some don’t even have time to pray for themselves, lest I say you!…BUT GOD HAS TIME FOR YOU!….

Psalm 120:1 “In my distress I CRIED unto Jehovah, And he ANSWERED me”….GOD WILL ANSWER YOUR PHONE CALL THIS WEEKEND..(Jer 33:3) IF need be!

BESIDES…………….

YOU ARE DESTINED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! (For The Remnant) You have ALWAYS thought & conducted yourself differently than most. You have never quite “fit in” in many circles.

The enemy used those closest to you to make you feel ashamed or guilty about being different. However, Great Man/Great Woman of GOD, despite all of the enemy’s attacks against you & all the hell you’ve been through, you have ALWAYS stood out because YOU / I …..ARE DESTINED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

So, don’t you dare allow ANYONE to “lock you in” to the conventional or traditional way of doing things–the Kingdom (and the world) is waiting for you! So, “Step Up Your Faith & Obedience Game”, and birth that Dream, Vision or Idea!

 Remember, YOU / I ….ARE DESTINED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Double – Minded Man / Woman

Double – Minded Man / Woman

A snake’s job / serpent’s job / devil’s job is to kill steal and destroy right….. Welp, it amazes me how sometimes that when we are undecisive in our decison making that we tend to think that our minds are playing tricks on us but they are not..

What happens is  that we spend too much time investing our thoughts, dreams, goals and desires into the wrong THINGS and PEOPLE that we think that God is saying YES when He is really saying NO….. and think that when He is saying NO that he is really saying YES!

There is NOTHING unstable or temporary about God!!! When God speaks, listen carefully BUT act quickly!! If not, you will find yourself mistakenly reading the photo below….  This is how the HUMAN mind / flesh can be sometimes…..

Say if you asked God about if you should move to a certain area / date a certain person / take a certain job……………

LOOK AT THE PHOTO…. Now AFTER we obtain our answer from the Lord and ESPECIALLY if it is not the answer that “we want” we will DRAG our feet in obeying the Lord…. and NOW since we did not move quickly like we should when HE SPEAKS TO US……….

the NO all of a suddend turns into a YES… and now we are in trouble! ( We have got to do better in obedience )

 Has Satan stolen your joy?
TAKE IT BACK!
Has Satan taken your peace?
TAKE IT BACK!
Has Satan taken your ability to love and care for others?
TAKE IT BACK!
Has Satan taken your posessions?
TAKE THEM BACK!
Has Satan taken your family?
TAKE THEM BACK!
Whatever Satan has stolen, killed or destroyed in you –
TAKE IT BACK!

Fight the good fight TODAY!
