The past is the past.....

9/30/2015

When we put the past behind us, we expect it to remain there and not to rise its ugly head in your present. Our past has a way of rearing its head and its only purpose is to distract you and bring you to a place that has nothing good for you. Your past will appear in different but simple ways. It could be someone who you know and are close with, who decides to take you back there through memories or simply telling you about that past situation. How do you deal with it? You can ignore that person by not entertaining them in conversation; they will eventually get it and move on. You can also tell them that you are not interested in going back to the past. Who wants to dwell in their past? It is your past for a reason, there was nothing good there for you.

Let the past remain where it is by choosing not to engage in any talks down memory lane. You are where you are today because you decided you don't want to live there anymore, and you have taken the necessary steps to close the chapters of the past by applying peace to it. Live in the present and leave the past where it belongs---behind you. Never pick up what you have let go, unless you want to be dragged back to a place of despair. Keep moving and look ahead, because greater is on the way.

Seasons Change....

9/29/2015

Several times each year we experience a difference in the air. These differences are categorized as seasons, and further broken down by Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Whenever certain months roll around, we know that a certain season is approaching. In our lives we experience similar changes as well. Our seasons are expressed in terms of a child, young adult, adult, and elderly. With these different stages in our lives, we experience a wide variety of ups and downs, all of which make us who we are. Some of our experiences take us on a wild ride through life, that may break us down at one moment and then in some miraculous fashion, build us up again with much strength and courage.

All of us are created to with-stand the test of times, but some of us give up and throw in the towel. We are all capable of fighting the good fight, but in order to be victorious we must be armed with the grace and mercy of God. We cannot do it on our own. Each season we experience will be different from the last. None of us know what awaits us, but the Almighty does, and He can guarantee success in overcoming. Prepare yourself for each season by arming yourself with the Greatest Protector there is, God.

Daily Lessons....

9/28/2015

Each day of your life is filled with lessons. These lessons are there to help you live a better and more fuller life. Some of the lessons can be hard and we often try to find ways around them. But even though they are hard lessons, they are lessons that need to be learned and must be learned in order for you to grow to another level in life. Our lessons can be a result of missteps we have taken and continue to take in life. If we don't pay attention to the lessons, we will continue to take these bad steps which will eventually lead us down a path of destruction.

We have to learn these lessons for ourselves, because no one else can walk our path for us. We must face up to our failures and acknowledge them. Learn from them and move on to become better than who we were yesterday. Health and continuous growth will only occur in soil that is healthy, & fertile. A soil that is unhealthy will produce weeds that will suffocate your chances at survival. Find your lessons in each day and develop a new attitude from what you have learned.

The Lord is with you.....

9/27/2015

Never fear those who try to diminish your flame. Your flame was lit by The Creator, and only Him can diminish or put it out. You can be rest assured that you are protected by Christ. He will not allow the deceivers to have a foot against you. He will put out their flame before they can put out yours. Don't be fearful because He is with you now and always. Always trust Him, and keep His love burning within your soul.

He placed you on this earth with a God given purpose, to do great and wondrous things. To impact and change lives, all of which you will do until He decides that you have accomplished your task. Remember, trials may come but joy will be there in the morning. Stay strong and vigilant and continue to do the work you were sent here to do.

The same yesterday, today and forever...

9/26/2015

Don't be a follower of many, be a follower of one---Christ Jesus. He is the only one who can save you. He is the only one who will stick with you throughout it all. His promises ring true. He will never let you down. When you are in the darkest chapters of your life, He will be there, His light will burn bright to get you out from out of the darkest places, and help you find your way. He will never leave you when you are down and out. When everything is going for you, He will be there to add balance.

If you get to a place where you don't feel Him, maybe you choose to exclude Him. But He is never far away, the moment you call out to Him for help He will appear and deliver you. Don't ever doubt His love for you or His dedication to you. You have the best support system in Him for life.

You too, can inspire....

9/25/2015

Utilize your intelligence and intellect in a manner that improves someone's life. Spread words that bring life to someone's dead situation. Someone needs encouragement today and you may be the one who is available to lift them up. Your encouragement does not have to laced with big words and big promises. It needs to be in a format that the receiver can grasp and understand. It is not always about the big picture, there are times when all that's needed is a friendly smile, a hug. A look that says you are going to be alright and I am here for you.

You can inspire the faint in heart, with a story of your past. Allow them to see that anything is possible. Tell them how you were able to overcome similar difficulties in your life. We all have it within us to encourage and inspire someone. We may not have all the answers, but what we have is compassion within us. We have all had our walks through the fire and the storms. Be the one to help the caterpillar morph into the beautiful butterfly they were born to become.

Demolish pressure....

9/24/2015

Don't succumb to the pressures and fears that may unfold in your presence. Simply tell him/her not today, tomorrow or ever. Never allow anything or anyone to steal your joy. If you do, you are giving them power and control over your life. When pressure comes at you full force, just smile and say an internal word of prayer, then continue with your day. No one has power over you until you hand it over to them. There may be days when you simply want to let loose and hand it to whomever, but while it may work, there is always a better way of handling the situation, namely pressure. When you chose to react harshly, you end up building yourself up with additional pressure.

Practice patience. Learn to deal with the various personalities you embark on each day. Important to remember, everyone is going through something. So, the person who is being demanding and overbearing to you today, is going through something. Enrich your life and your day by meditating on the positives and eliminating pressures.

Let Go.....

9/23/2015

We often become so secure in a situation that even if it is bad for us, we refuse to let go and move on. It is easy to get comfortable in a setting that seems cozy, but it may not be good for you. Life is constantly changing and in order to move with the times, we must avoid stagnation. Yes, we should remain humble and true to ourselves. But at the same time, the fact remains that today will eventually become history, and we cannot live in the past.

We must find a way to become motivated and improve upon who we are. Face the future armed with the wisdom and knowledge you have learned from past experiences of yesteryear. Let go of the past because it will only take you down. Break free of the chains from yesterday.

Being Supportive....

9/22/2015

Make an impact by being someone's light. Help those who are struggling..... those who are less fortunate. Don't listen to the crowd and take away someone's opportunity at making something good of themselves. Support the weak-hearted and feeble-minded. Don't think about yourself, and how things will benefit you. When you make the choice to help others, it comes back to you. Christ was known to gather with the rejects, the cast-offs, the weird ones. He never considered Himself to be too high and mighty for them, or for us.

Have a conscience and be considerate. None of us are too high and mighty to reach the needy, and none of us are getting out of here alive. Rethink your steps and actions. Are you being supportive, are you doing all you can to help the less fortunate. Are you doing all you can for your brothers and sisters? Think about it...search yourself, and step up where you have fallen short.

A new day---A new start....

9/21/2015

As a day ends a new day is beginning. A new beginning brings forth a lot of opportunities as well as unknown and unforeseen circumstances. These circumstances can be good or bad, and unfortunately we cannot control them. What we can control is how we chose to deal with them. Yes, we can control how we face the challenges that come our way. When we make the choice to face our challenges from a positive place, a place of hope and light, we will undoubtedly come out victorious. When we choose to face them with fear and hostility, the whole situation will become unbearable and will lead us down a path of distress and misery.

The outcome of any situation is dependent on how we chose to face and handle it. As you open the chapters to this new day, start it with a fresh perspective. Start it with a positive mindset, that whatever may come your way you will be able to handle it, and you will not let it take over and control your life. Start your day off right and welcome an aura of light and love within your atmosphere.

I believe knowledge is something we gain through our life
experiences. These experiences may seem similar to what others may go
through, but each one of us experiences are unique to us; they are tailored
specifically for us based on our strength. Regardless of the differences, I
truly believe that we can help each other with the difficulties we face by
sharing what or how we were able to overcome. I, myself have been through a
variety of difficult times and I will utilize this platform to share such
moments and how I was able to pull myself
through.

I choose to use this platform to focus on women and the wide variety of issues and
triumphs in our lives. This site is to provide healing, enlightenment,
motivation, encouragement and all that envelopes the desire to succeed
regardless of what we may face.
