Monday Motivation

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

Use your time, talent, and treasure to invest in others this week. Many people are struggling in silence because they don't believe there is someone there for them. I challenge you to find someone to invest in this week. All of us have been blessed with some ability that we are sitting on. Use it this week to brighten someone's day. Don't just be a consumer. The more you release to others the more room you to receive the new that is in store for you. Hang on o there my friend.

Until tomorrow

Friday Focus

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

If you know me, you know I listen to a lot of motivational speakers. Leading Brown says, if you want to be good at some listen do people that are doing what you want to do. I am an international motivational speaker in the making. Anyway, I was listening to clip that was I believe E, it has several voices on it, that said, "You shouldn't upgrade your technology more than you upgrade yourself". Man, that got in my spirit. Don't get me wrong I am not a real techy person but that was life.

Anytime I come into my house my phone connects with my home WiFi and begins to do whatever updates that are scheduled. Um, if my play store does that why don't I? Who and what do I need to tap into so that I get all of the needed updates to get out all of the bugs. A paraphrase from Dr. Lisa Harding says that it just takes one thing to turn the switch on in your head that can begin a lifetime of change.

Who is the person, the situation, the circumstances that will switch on your reset button and propel you into your next season?

Have a prosperous weekend

Thursday Thoughts

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

Someone said if you want something to die you have to stop feeding it. Hum. It made think. What things in my life am I feeding that no longer serve me? What stories do I repeat to myself just enough that they validated me having the feelings that I have? Self-pity, bitterness, anger, hate, abandonment, distrust, hopelessness, depression, fear, lust... The list could go on and on.

What are feeding? My husband never just comes out and feeds our dig from table he slides her a little something, something under the table. You might not be bold in your approach to your issue but you are feeding it anyway. Whether crumbs or steak it is being fed. Recognize it. Pin point it. Starve it. Don't go back to revive it. Let it go.

Wednesday Word

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

Too often I can rely on my own thoughts too much. I can feel like I have it all figured out, to only find that I'm not really in control at all. No matter what I think, God is the one that's in control. 

He is the one that gives direction if I will stop being a backseat driver. If I would only acknowledge his plan and way first, my plan would come together much easier. 

Today, I surrender my plan to you and say have your way. I acknowledge that you are the author and finisher of my faith. You are the great director and as I follow your lead,  doors will be opened that I had nothing to do with. I will obey.

Until tomorrow

Thursday Thoughts

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

Can you truly say that you love you? Without love for yourself, you can truly love others. Generally, the thing that we despise about ourselves is the thing that we don't like in others. When we learn to love ourselves, love will pour out to others. 

Wednesday Word

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

Psalms 139: 14-16
Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb. I thank you, High God-you're breathtaking? Body and soul, I am marvelously made!

I worship in adoration- what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; you know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing to something.

Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, the days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day.

Wow, as you struggle with other people's idea of beauty know that you are wonderfully made in the image of Christ. Fashion changes and people's expectations constantly change because people are not satisfied with themselves. Don't fall in the "beauty" trap.

Transformation Tuesday

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

What are you reading? If social media is the only thing you are reading you will never achieve greatness. Ladies and Gentlemen, just like you feed your natural body every day, you must feed your intellectual body as well. Reading and watching videos of hate and racism will make you angry and bitter. Let's be real, most people are not going to their legislators to make changes, just getting a high blood pressure.

Read something that will make you a better person. Something that will help you start a business. Something that you can uplift somebody else with. Transformation starts in our mind. What you put in will come out.

Until tomorrow
