Wednesday Word takes us to LUKE 8:17,
For there is nothing hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come out into the open.
With everything that is happening right now we need to sweep around our own front door. Make sure that your good can not be evil spoken.

It's time for an alignment.
I don't know about you but sometimes while I'm driving certain songs will come on the radio and you have to take your hands off the steering wheel. You know that song that either males you clap or makes you groove. Anyway, for a bit the car is steering itself. Now, of your front end is aligned well this is not a problem.
You can jet straight down the street for miles before it goes across the line. However, if you have hot too many chuck holes, curbs and other objects you will out of alignment.
As we draw to the end of the year it is super important that we get correct alignment. You don't have time to be in anybody else's lane. You don't have time to be a distracted driver. You must have ample time to celebrate your victories and groove when necessary. Life is too short not to have fun.
Ladies get yourself aligned with people that are pushing you to greatness. People that have your best interest in mind even if it's not what they want. People that will hold you accountable to your dreams, goals, and visions. People that don't mind dropping everything and grooving to the beat. People that keep you in your lane. People that are aligned with the plan God has for you.
And as always remember to. . . live Blessed

I would like to share some scripture with you this morning. Psalm 9:1
I will give thanks and praise the Lord, with all my heart; I will tell aloud all Your wonders and marvelous deeds.
It is so easy to take our lives, families, and well being for granted but we are not promises any of this. Flip threw social media and you will see people that have lost their jobs. Loved ones that have passed away. People that are sick. Friends that have been in accidents. Every morning you ought to get up and just say thank you.
No matter what you do or not believe in there is someone bigger than all of us making this work. I choose to call him God and praise Jesus for shedding his blood so that a I could be a part of the body of believers.
Don't take your family for granted. They could be gone any moment.
And as always remember to. . . live Blessed!

Whatcha know about that? Ladies, you can not have results and excuses at the same time. Yes, I know the holidays are coming up and we all have an excuse as to why we need to get off our regimented schedules to be able to enjoy the holidays.
Growing I was told that excuses are cousins to lies. So, stop lying to yourself and others. You put a routine in place for a purpose, stick to it.
If you want to get results you cannot make excuses and expect results.

It is so important to evaluate what you are thinking about. Everything is created twice. First, in the mind and secondly, in the earth realm. With this in mind, it is imperative to think about what you are thinking about. There are some things that are in your mind that you truly don't want to manifest.
And as always remember to ...live Blessed!

As you prepare for the holidays here is something to think about... butter vs margarine.
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings....
DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter?
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years .
And now, for Margarine..
*Very High in Trans fatty acids.
*Triples risk of coronary heart disease ...
*Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
*Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..
*Lowers quality of breast milk
*Decreases immune response.
*Decreases insulin response.
*And here's the most disturbing fact... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT.
These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
Open a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.
Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
And as always remember to. . . live Blessed!

Wow. Don't you just love the message bible? Proverbs 12:1 If you love learning, you love the discipline that goes with it— how shortsighted to refuse correction! -
Too often we want the blessings of what we are gaining without understanding that some of our biggest lessons come through our times of correction. It's easy to praise when we are on the mountain but can we give that same amount or more when we are going through those seasons of chastisement?
Something to think about.

As the holidays and the shorter days approach please be mindful of your mood. I will be a bit transparent this morning. I have fought with seasonal depression for a few years. It generally begins toward the end of November and can end around February or maybe March depending on the weather.
Seasonal depression is just what it says, it is a depression that is brought on by the change in the season, namely darkness. See the fall brings on shorter periods of light and for me that is a trigger. I understand this now so I have to put thibgs and people in place to help me combat it.
What helps?
* Sleep- Setting keeping a regimented sleep routine.
* Supplements- Making sure that my body is getting nutrients especially vitamin D and K.
*Sunshine- I get outside every chance I can during this time. I open all of the curtains and sit in sunny spots when I am out.
*Spiel - You have to have people that you can share with that know you well enough to know when your off. Getting a coach or counselor during this season is a helpful.
The biggest things to remember is you are not alone and you are not crazy. Don't feel bad about reaching out.
And as always remember to. . . live Blessed!

John 14:27 says, Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.] - AMP
In our society right now we need peace. There is so much negativity floating in the atmosphere that if we are not careful we get sucked in. So I encourage you to let God's peace surround and overtake you. Challenges are going to come. The question is how will you deal with them? Push to peace.

What a powerful statement. You are powerful beyond measure but power untapped is of no use. I can have power all day but if I don't turn the lights on eventually I will be in the dark.
Brothers and sisters it is time for us to tap into the light and energy that Christ has placed on the inside of us. Stop with the negative thinking and talking. We are transforming our minds day by day.
Meditate on this today. What are you afraid of and why are you letting it hold you back?

Too often in our present society we hear people saying they didn't accomplish a task because they didn't feel like it. Success comes to those that work through the blah days. It comes to those that push themselves past the limit. Don't stop because you don't feel like doing something. That is the time to push harder. Babies come through lots of push through the pain. Birth the vision God has placed in you.

John 14:26 But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you.
27 Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]
In this absolutely crazy world we all need peace. Seek peace and find it. On e you find it, protect it.
