Happiness

 

Is never too late to work on complete happiness. Thinking that someone else can make you happy is false. In my opinion, you should never make that someone else's  responsibility. It is up to you to get out and make a difference in your own life. Why gives another human so much power and control over you? We have the power to create and change. It is our choice in life to be stagnant or consistent in behavior that will benefit you in the long run. Get rid of having to have control over everything and learn awareness, acceptance and forgiveness. Life is much easier when you dont have any expectations. Live in the miracle of what happens next. Focus on the good and live in peace. When you are at peace, you stay happy.

Practice What You Preach

It’s so easy to preach to other about forgiveness, prayer and motivation, but when you are the one who needs to benefit from these things that’s when practicing what you preach comes in to play. Sometimes God will use you to make and example to others that his word is real, how can you help other people if you are not willing to be who you say you are, people listen to the ones who have had the cross to bare and have overcome trials and have survived the storm and lived to tell their stories of success. Don’t just talk about it, but be about it, how can you show someone how to make money, if you can’t even pay your own bills? We always want to be the teachers in life but rarely do we ever like being the student, well maybe we should learn how to be better students in life and study Gods will so we can be better at overcoming life’s circumstances and start receiving Gods promises.

Matters of The Heart...

Its a delicate situation, and can easily be broken and should not be given away so easily under the circumstances. But somehow redundantly we fall back to the same old ways of thinking that the same situations will have a different outcome. At some point in life, we have to learn how to set up heathy boundaries so we dont allow others to invade or devalue our self Esteem when it comes to matters of the heart.....

Forgiveness is hard but necessary, because it blocks your blessing. Why spend  life trying to make someone else’s life miserable? Is it really worth it? Someone told me recently when you dig a grave for someone else, please dig two.. One for yourself. We don’t always have the answers, but its not always what people or circumstances do to you its more about what God works thru you. We can always choose to be better people and continue to treat people the way you want to be treated and remember that the Lord will always provide…

Faith June 10, 2009

Faith in God will move mountains out of your life. When we worry or have doubt we only defeat ourselves with that negative thinking, but when we get Gods word in our hearts we build our strength and power that “the fear of the wicked will come upon man, but the desires of the righteous shall be granted Proverbs10:24

 

People are going to talk and strife will continue to exist, but your belief should be in what God is going to do thru you not what man can do to you. The bible says evil pursues sinners, but to the righteous evil will be repaid.

 

Have a blessed day!!

Happy Tuesday June 9, 2009

Thank God for another day, to try and make a new start. It’s nothing wrong with starting over, its never to late to do something different. When God puts something on your heart, he is giving you the desire for a reason, don’t fight the feeling, just believe. Believe that you can do all things in Christ if you believe. Get in in your spirit that yes bad things happen to good people, but God is going see a way fit for your escape. God is going to bring your thru and give you victory over triumph. We must not listen to those negative voices of defeat because where there is confusion God is not. God gives us his peace so we can keep the lines of communication open for his direction. The bible says that I come as a light and whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness John 12: 46.

 

As I walk in faith, I also know that I walk in divine favor and what the enemy has made for my demise God is going to make for my good..

 

Have a blessed day!!

When you don’t know what direction to take pray about it, God tells us to seek his kingdom first and the rest shall be added to you.. Life isn’t really hard, it’s really about perception and your reality, how well do you adjust to change? It’s about surviving and growing, learning from trials and minor and major set backs. Trouble will always come, but Thru God, he will give you a way out if you seek his face….First. He says seek me early and you shall find me…

 

At one point or another you will get tired of being tired and when you really come to know God and what he represents that when you realize that he was there all along, but you turned your back in despair and your pain and God couldn’t reach you in doubt..

 

Change your mind and change your experience. Have a great day!!!

Who Are You? June 6, 2009

It's important to know who you are and focus on where you are going in life because whether or not you know, life will still exist, people are going to live and move on without you so your choices in life will determine your future. The freedom of choice is definitely a privilege. So work on what motivates you, hang around people who encourage you. Never give in to defeat because when you stop struggling, you stop living and learning your mind becomes so crowded with defeat that you lose hope and today is not the time to throw in the towel. Get it down in your spirit that no matter what you are faced with, you will fight and struggle to stay a float because if God is for you who can stand against you. learn how to replace negative thoughts of tribulations with power affirmations of victory and you will begin to see your life slowly change in a supernatural way.. Gods ways are always better than mans way.

There is an old saying that says "when all else fails, try God"....

You can not please other people and make yourself happy at the same time. Either someone is going to like and accept you for who you are or they arent going to like you at all no matter how hard you try! Why waist your time and energy trying to please folks who could care less about your well being?

Why not choose to be around people who uplift you and encourage you to be your best?  Be around people who enjoy your company and motivate you to go after your dreams in life in life. Your happiness is your peace of mind so change your focus on what someone else is thinking and start living life doing what makes you happy. Life is too short to live it in misery so change you mind and change your experience...

Have a blessed day!!

In life you will always have new lessons to learn, new ideas to implement in order to make necessary changes in life for your personal or financial growth. Now matter what you never stop learning how to survive in life unless you have simply just decided to give up.

Life is about discovering new ideas, its about living, surviving, teaching learning, enjoying,and growing. We must learn how to take a different approach to see the glass as half full instead of half empty. We must realize the power with in that we have choices, but the most important choices we will make will determined our lessons learnend, or minor or major setbacks, or our failure or our success regardless of our choices we either get life and learn how to play the game or default and give up. Chose to take life's lessons with a grain of salt. choose to be the better person, learn how to being a blessing instead of a curse and this change starts with forgiveness of your past and making it up in your mind not to live in defeat, but to live in victory!

Have a blessed day!!

When you go thru problems and you can’t see a way out or you can’t find any solutions, that is when you just pray, trust and lean on God. We have to learn how to get out of his way and allow God to fight your battles. When you know you have done all you can do and there’s nothing more you can do, but stand on his word so let us hold profession to our faith without wavering for he is faithful that promise.

 

We must understand our power in Christ as believers of his word, don’t get mad, don’t feel sad and be not dismayed, get victorious so that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper and I will not fear what man shall do to me..  Even when we do wrong and confess with our mouths that what we did was not right God still is faithful his word says “Behold happy is the man who God correcteth therefore despise not thou chastening of the Almighty for he maketh sore and bindeth up: He woundeth and his hands make whole. Job 5:17-18

 

For God is a forgiving God and we are saved by his Mercy and his grace “Though I walk in the midst of trouble thou wilt revive me thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies and thy right hand shall save me.. Psalm 138:7

 

The devil is a liar!! But thru God all things are possible!!

Amen.

Happy Tuesday! June 2, 2009

Good morning Ladies,

 

I just wanted to say don’t jeopardize your life for anybody; don’t lie for anyone, because it can back fire on you like it did on me. Sometimes when you’re trying to be of help and have somebody’s back, make sure your life is not at risk and if that person is a “true friend” they will not ask you to cover up some mess for them. You have to really be careful with whom you call your friends because there is a line between love and hate, friendship & enemies, but God says something about enemies…

 

He says: When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with them…. God knows your heart and your intentions so in times of trouble you just have to stand on his word. There will come a time when you will be tested on your faith… For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me, he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy, I will sing yea, I will singe praises unto the Lord. Psalm 27, 5-6

 

Regardless of what happens, I will stand on Gods word, for he knows best and I have to trust him when he says “no weapons formed against me will prosper and EVERY TONGUE that shall rise against the in judgment thou shalt condemn.  This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord…And their righteousness is of me “Saith the Lord… Isaiah 54:17

Happy Monday,

If it doesnt feel good to your soul, why push it thru? Why must you continue to dance to a song you dont like? Can't you see how hard it is trying to walk thru a closed door? Where is the love in you that says, "lets do better"! I'm here to tell you to hold on to faith, do not give in to believing that you can not have the best because as long as there is breath in your body you can always "try again".  You shouldnt spend your life in regret or pretending that you dont care when we are all human, its the natural way to care and have feelings about certain circumstances and people, but to act as though your not human  you block that natural flow of love you only hurt yourself because Satan knows how to use your lies against you and expose you where you feel defeated.

Your best defense it to "Tell the truth and shame the Devil" Be honest about how you feel because in the long run you will feel like a fool when what you have been hiding comes out in the open. Come to grips with who you are, and how you feel and just keep it real. You will sleep better at nite when you keep it 100%...

And the truth shall set you free!!!

Before you require the love & respect from someone else, how about establishing love and respect for yourself? You must take a moment and think about how you see yourself. Do you even have knowledge of your likes and dislikes? Do you know what you can handle and are your real about your tolerance level?

Think about how someone else sees you. Do they see you as a person whom they admire or someone who is a hot mess? Do they respect your opinion and value your friendship?  Well if you find that your always being taken for granted and you always feel like your getting the short end of the stick by being in one bad relationship after the other maybe its not everyone elses fault, maybe its you who need the reality check.

Try being honest with yourself for a change and stop running from your fears and start making some changes about how you feel about you and establish some new ideas for becoming a winner in life for "Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world".......

Who has your heart? May 28, 2009

The heart is so delicate it's so precious that it must be handled with care and be cafefully tended to. The resposiblity of our hearts keeper is ourselves. Who else can treat the heart with such sensitivity if our heart only wants to give and receive love? Then why not guard our heart with top priorty understanding that if in the wrong hands, it may cause detriment to our demise.

So the question i ask..... Who has your heart? God, self or man? For whichever you may choose thats when your lesson will begin... Self will or God's.. which is better? Dare to see for yourself.....

Have A blessed day!!

Happy Wednesday!! May 27, 2009


We can all learn to create a better experience by choosing to see our circumstances in a different way.  Change can be very challenging, but very rewarding if we start by eliminating negative thoughts by replacing them with positive affirmations.  Once you become aware of what you would like to change about yourself you can learn how to create a new experience.  Maybe it could be as simple as "Happiness" or a "peace of mind"... whatever it may be dont wait until its too late to become a better you.

Your life will not change until you do some self improvement... So go ahead and have a great day!!

Love...

Your E-Sister, Friend

When your ready to learn, your teacher will appear...

Sometimes it takes some folks to get it alot faster than others, it all depends on how fast you get tired of being tired, of experiencing the same things over and over.  We all know that we have no control over other people except for ourselves, we may think for a temporary moment that something is working in our favor, but sooner or later what we tried to manipulate or control only ends up back firing at some time or another.

So with that said, why must we dance with fire? Why must we try and change someone who doesnt want to change? We must have knowledge of self to be confident enough that if its not working out for us where we do not have a peace of mind, then we must decide to either accept or reject and let it go. The choice is always yours so why not choose the more peaceful route?

Have a blessed day!!

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.    Mathew 6:33


Happy Sunday May 24, 2009

Motivate

I know it may be hard for some of us to see light at the end of the tunnel because of our challenges and it may seems like we just cant get a break, but thats why Gods word is so important for us to get it into our hearts and minds so that we may be able to fight against the enemy with confidence and assurance that no matter what we will be successful in defeating the enemy with how we think and what we know to be true.

The Devil is a liar, so dont lose hope and give in to negative thinking. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he and you can't have a positive life with a negative mind....

Going Thru ...... Emotions........

When angered, depressed, confused, disappointed, rejected, devalued, outcasted, exiled..... STOP! Make no hasty decisions in this condition..

God is not the "AUTHOR OF CONFUSION!

Be in the "Moment"       

It may hurt, but all you can do is be where you are, just know that This to will pass

Pray about it      See full size image

Force yourself to pray about the situation you are going through and know in your heart that God hears you.  Practice your faith!

Reach out to friends        

It helps to get your mind off of things by being around people who make you feel good and people who know how to have fun. This person must not join "Your pitty party", but get you out so you can feel better.

Something to remember!

You can not have a positive life with a negative mind "Joyce Meyers"
