Wednesday Word

Good day Friends,
Grace and peace be unto you!

What are you focusing your attention on? Sisters, I want you to really think about these words as you read them. Is it true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report? If it is not all of these then leave it alone. Too many people out here sharing pieces of their mind that they need to hold on to. I have to preach to my self first. Everything that comes to my head doesn't need to come out of my mouth and I don't need to let it rest in my head too long because it will become a thought. Thoughts become words, and words become actions. We need to think about the things that bring virtue into our lives. Gossip does not. I challenge you and I to think about what we are thinking about and determine if we need to keep the thought because it is praiseworthy or if we need to reject it because it is foolishness.

Monday Motivation

Good morning friends 
Grace and peace be unto you!

Sisters I hope you as great if a weekend as I did.  The Lord showed ip and showed out. I still basking in his presence. Just a little reminder. When your mouth is filled with praise there is no room for complaint. If I am offering up my gift up worship I don't have time or space for the negative. Light and dark can not inhabit the same space. So, if my praise brings in the light of the holy spirit I don't have space for darkness. 

Only this Motivation Monday I want you to praise God until the darkness is pushed back. Until depression has no more space. Until fear has loose its grip. Praise him. Sis this the one weapon at your disposal that you don't use. Try it and let me know. 

Until tomorrow #liveBlessed

Friday Focus

Good morning friends,
Grace and peace be unto you!

As the winter season starts to move in and the days get shorter consider your mental health. It took me a long time to figure out that I try to get home for its dark but in the winter that is difficult and it created anxiety. That small revelation helped me to understand what was triggering the anxiety so I can now address it. 

I say all of that to say this. There is something about losing the light of summer that can precipitate depressed in certain people so I want you to stay vigilant and focused on taking care of you. Exercise, drink plenty of water and eat good whole foods. Stay away from sugary items that produce spikes in your blood sugar. Find hearty stews and soups and pack them vegetables and greens. The better fuel you put in your car the better it runs. Your body is the same way. Feed it good foods that are good for it and it will run better. Focus on your health. You can help anybody else if you're broken down. Sis love yourself!

Until Monday #liveBlessed

Good morning Friend, 
Grace and peace be unto you!

Nothing but the Cross ] Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day’s out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.
Galatians 6:2 MSG

Sis, it is time for you to move in the creative power that God has put within you. Stop taking down because others don't see what you see. They are not supposed to because they don't have your assignment. Everything that you have gone through and have been forgiven from is part of your testimony. Use your testimony to empower others and help them tunnel through their dark days. Friend, you must be willing to be transparent while you are yet learning and growing. No, it is not easy or fun but someone needs you to be honest about your stuff so that they know they are not crazy.  The devil is an accuser of the brethren and he will speak to you until you believe you are losing your mind. I am here today to tell you that you are whole, you are made complete in Christ, and you have the victory. Sis, wipe your eyes and wash your face. You have got this. I love you to life.

Until tomorrow #liveBlessed

Transformation Tuesday

Good morning Friend,
Grace and peace be unto you!

I saw this quote and thought that is was so good and wanted to share it with you.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
Albert Schweitzer

Wow, that is good. Will you be the person that lights someone else's flame? Will you be the catalyst for someone fulfilling their purpose? Will you be that little voice that someone needs to push through to the next day? Sis, don't sit on your testimony because it's not polished and perfect. That woman is waiting for you to be the torch lighter. She is waiting for your words to breathe life into her very belly. You went through every moment of hell for this very moment. This is your opportunity to speak. Tell your story. Don't allow anyone to snuff your firestarter out. You are the person that will set that sister on fire again. Don't be afraid. Just do it.

Until tomorrow #liveBlessed

Monday Movitvation

Good morning Friends,
Grace and peace be unto you!

I just want to remind you today that no matter what you have gone through, it didn't take you out, so you still have a chance. Life circumstances can get so overwhelming that you feel like giving up and hiding away. I just want to remind you that everything the enemy brought your way did not kill you. Let that sink in before we go in any further. You are alive, and it is not because the enemy wanted you to be, but it was God's grace and mercy. With that being said, don't forget the one that hates your victory will never stop pursuing you, but greater is he that is in you then he that is after you. You are powerful through Christ. Every pursuit of the enemy is to keep you from operating the blessed place that is assigned to your life. Don't forget that you are blessed to be a blessing. There is somebody out there waiting to hear your testimony. Your victory over your test is what will bring them forth to their victory. Don't stop. Don't quit. Don't give up.

Until tomorrow #liveBlessed

Mark 9 message 
23 Jesus said, “If? There are no ‘ifs’ among believers. Anything can happen.”
24 No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the father cried, “Then I believe. Help me with my doubts!”

What a lesson. Take the if out of your vocabulary. Just believe that All things are possible. Everything we can dream of is possible as long as we believe. Trust God even when you can't trace him. He is faithful and will not abandon us in times of need. Just in case you have had one too many conversations with the enemy and got you thinking crazy.

In 24 the father says I believe and help with any doubt that might be lurking in the background. Many of us have been told so many lies that we aren't sure of the truth. Those places of unstableness are where the enemy beats us up. Just starts saying you believe until it moves from your mouth to your ears. From your ears to your head and from head to your heart. It doesn't happen overnight because you have years of lies to crush, but here is shouting ground. Sis, truth rushes every lie every day. Serve that one to the devil.

Informational Tuesday

Good morning Friend,
Grace and peace be unto you!

Change only comes when you open your mind to the possibilities that the inconvenient things that are happening in your life are producing transformation. See, you and I want change, but we only want it when it is easy. This change that we are seeking will take some WORK. Don't fall for the Okie Doke. There is no quick fix to get you to that place called change.

Good morning friend.
Grace and peace be unto you!

Today is the time they commemorate Columbus Day (how do you discovery something with inhabitants?) In that spirit, today I want you to make a discovery of your own. What makes you excited to be alive? When you discover this it will make it easier to say NO to things that don't. Everywhere I go people are always talking about how busy they are. Sis, you are only as busy as you think you are. Busy is a state of mind and an excuse to keep people at bae. My challenge to you is to figure out what makes your heart skip a beat and discard the other stuff. It is time for you to start moving with the things that give you life not drain you. When you discover you, everyone around you will be happy.

Good morning friends,

Psalm 121 A song of ascents.
1I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.3He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber; 4indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7The LORD will keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your life;8the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

I love this version of the scripture. It asks where does my help come from. It comes from the Lord. The one that made heaven and earth. The one that strung the stars in the sky and painted the earth with the waters. If he is that careful of heaven and earth how much more does he care about you that were made in his image.

The psalmist goes on to say that the Lord that created these heavens will not allow the sun or the moon to overtake you. He will be your shade. He will be your bodyguard watching over your coming and going. Wow! That right there is shouting ground. The God of the universe, your father is so concerned that he puts a detail out to watch over you. To keep you from falling.

A word of caution. Don't try to outrun your protection. I remember Michelle Obama saying that sometimes they just wanted to be regular and go to ordinary places but they were always flanked with bodyguards. She shared about a time that she and one of their daughters escaped for a time just to have fun. Nothing happened to them but the Lord just said don't try to outrun or hide from my protection. Stay in his will. It's the safest place to be. Thank you Clark Sisters.

Tuesday Transformation

Good morning Friends,
Grace and peace be unto you!

Change starts in your mind and then it radiates out. Whatever I consistently think I will act upon, and I will consistently see the manifestation of said thoughts. So, if we are going to transform our actions we have to start with our thoughts. What am I thinking about? What do I meditate on?

My mind is the laboratory for my actions. What am I cooking up in my lab today? Are they thoughts of peace and goodwill, or doom and evil? Do I see the best in my sister or am I looking for a flaw so I have something to tear her down with? Take some time to as Joyce Meyers says, think about what you are thinking about. Really begin to analyze your thought life and see what is being produced out of it. If you don't like what is coming out then you have to do something about what is going in.

Monday Motivation

Good morning Friends,
Grace and peace be unto you!

It is a very cold day in KAKE land. LOL, I am not ready. Yes, it is cold and I still need to cut my grass. People question global warming because...?  Anyway, that is not what we are here to talk about today.

Here is a little motivation for your tired soul. Don't put off for tomorrow what you should be doing today. Stop. Before you say, "But I'm so busy". You are as busy as what you say and what you prioritize. I would say that I live a pretty densely packed life. Some by choice and some because I am still learning the art of NO. However, I get in the things that are important to me. So, that means that sometimes I might marking going on facebook (mainly so it sends me a reminder) and I might not come. My nonattendance is not because the event was not important but because there was something that took precedence at the moment. As women, we come to those moments in our lives where you know I need to be right here, right now, to be a blessing and to receive one. By all means, have and keep your schedule but do not be a slave to it. Yes, by all means, be that dependable person that your integrity is calling you to be. By all means, be a person of your word, but do not become such a slave to your calendar and being there for everyone that you lose you.

YOU must manage self with everything you have within you! Yes, it is cool for your kids to be active and involved in sports but sometimes they need to just sit down somewhere and so do you. So, back to don't put off for tomorrow what you should do today. Take the time to talk to a friend, to write a letter, to take a walk, or something else that simply feeds your spirit. Everything thing in our world is moving at rapid speed, but I encourage you to slow down and notice your environment. The beauty in nature and the awesome wonder that is the smile of a little baby. Somethings just need to happen today. Life is so short don't miss an opportunity under the guiles of I am busy.

Friday focus

Good morning friends.
Grace and peace be unto you!

It is so easy to lose focus when your world is chaotic. Take some time this weekend to get organized.
I bought new shoe bins to organize (hide) my shoes. Feel like Christmas when a pair of shoes I haven't seen in awhile pop out from under the bed. Lol

I don't know about you but it is time for me to thin my closet. Any clothes that I did not wear this summer can go. If I was going to wear them I would have. Let it go. Make space. Some of you said space for what? Make space for space. To get focused you need space that is uncluttered. Sometimes we develop a hoarder mentality. More doesn't always equal greater. Sometimes it equals cluttered.
See how much better you sleep and how much fresher your house smells when the clutter is eliminated. Try it and let me know how it helps.

Wednesday Word

Good morning friends,
Grace and peace be unto you!

An angry person stirs up conflict, and a hot-tempered person commits many sins. Proverbs 29:22 NIV

This scripture doesn't need a lot of commentaries written about it. I think we see this on every cop show that has ever been aired. When people lose their temper things go bad.

Today, I want you to evaluate the things that are going on around you. Are you the anger that is stirring the pot. Does your rage, mistrust, and self-loathing bring the kindling needed to bring the fires you are seeing?  If we are honest everybody is not just picking on you. There is something that you have chosen to hold on to that people are either attracted or repelled from inside of you.

This new month is a good time to empty out all of the old stale stagnant stuff we've been holding on to. Go into the fall season lighter and weight free. It might help you make better Christmas shopping decisions. When you're free you don't have to shop out of guilt. Get free and stay free.

Thursday Thoughts

Good morning Friend,
Grace and peace be unto you!

I have been reading a book called the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker. So for the rest of this year (that sounds like a long time but it is only 13 weeks, scary), I will be sharing some nuggets with you during our Thursday Thoughts time from Millionaire Mind.

Today's thought- My inner world creates my outer world. If we think about this declaration it is very true. If my spirit is at peace it reflects in everything that I do. If it is not it will also reflect in everything I do. Take a moment and think about a situation that got out of hand. What was happening inside you that allowed you to go there? You allowed the outside to determine your inside. You allowed something external to disturb your internal peace. You must determine the temperature of your environment. You are a thermostat, not a thermometer. Allow your inner world to determine what you see manifest in your world.

Transformation Tuesday

Good morning friends,
Grace and peace be unto you!

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was September and I was sick today is October and I feel better.

As you transform this month I encourage you to do a couple of things.
1. Walk every day this month. 15-30 mins a day. The temperature is getting better and the sunlight will help you if you get seasonal blues.

2. Eat better. It's a new month. Remember,  transformation starts in your mind. Lol, it was funny how I had committed to cleansing this month and my little body ailment started the process for me. Lol

3. Find some good reading material that will illuminate your thinking. Can't transform if you're still thinking like you're in the gutter.

4. Make it a point to catch up with people that you have been meaning to take to. I know of 3 people that passed unexpectedly over this weekend. Talk while you have a chance.

Finally, know that just like the trees lose their leaves we too are changing and transforming each and every day.  Don't get sidetracked or complacent. Keep pushing.

Until tomorrow
