Under Construction....

Soooo I have decided to redo my blog. So with that being said I will not be making frequent post. I want to reach a much broader audience and before I do that I want to enhance the look of my page. I have even found a designer to design my page! :) So stay tuned in the coming months for a NEW LOOK!

Guard your Heart and Mind

I receive Tyler Perry emails this is a recent one...Enjoy!

If you can get this, this will change your life… I was out taking my morning run. I love how still it is when I’m running. I can hear clearly and really commune with God. I wanted to share this with you. It’s a lesson I had to learn.

One of the keys to success is to be able to guard your heart. Now, usually when someone says guard your heart they are talking about keeping yourself from heartbreak. Although that is important (as long as you don’t go overboard... but that’s another conversation) that isn’t what I’m talking about. When we are born into this world we enter with such a pure heart but as we grow older situations, circumstances and people tend to make us change. Now I know it is nearly impossible to keep a childlike innocence in our hearts all of our lives, especially after people have betrayed, lied, mistreated and downright been the devil. Trust me when I tell you, I have seen it all. I have been there big time. If you’re like me you’ve been there too. But if this is your situation I want you to know two very important things about those moments of heartbreak. Number one, learn the lesson in it. See how it will work together for your good, because it will. Once you do, it’s easier to forgive and move on. Secondly, and this is just as important as the first one, you must not let that person or people change your heart. What do I mean by that? Well, if you are a giver and someone you have given to misuses your gift, don’t stop giving… just give to someone else. If you are a person that loves people and someone you love hates you, don’t stop loving… love someone else. Eventually, you will find people who appreciate your kindness and your love. Remember this, lots of people have been conditioned to not be able to accept purity of heart. They can’t take it in. Most times it’s not even their fault. It’s just what has happened to them on their journey in life. But don’t let them turn you into one of them. There will be a lot of people in your life who will not appreciate your pureness of heart. If they hurt you don’t stop being you… just be you with someone else.

Why is this so important? Because God blesses you according to what is in your heart. If you are being kind, giving, loving and sharing because it is in your heart and you are not looking for anything in return, then that is a heart that God wants to bless. If you change who you are because you’ve been hurt, then you’ve changed the thing that God wants to bless you according to, and that is your heart. The people who hurt you are not worth that. You can lose everything that you have, but don’t let anybody change your heart.

So much going on...

So I have soo much going on in this lil head of mine that I would LOVE to write about. But, I need to find the time. This week as been rather busy for me. EXCUSES EXCUSES, I know. But hopefully, I will squeeze some time in before church tonight to write a quick entry. Also, I want to revamp my blog to try and reach a broader audience. I think I will work on that during the fall/winter when things slow down a bit.

Hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!

Listen to this song! Makes me want to worship God all day, needless to say I havent gotten much work done today because of it....lol

Love yall,

Sweet Lady

Hope and Ask....

God has been speaking to me a lot recently about putting my hope in Him ALONE. Now he has been speaking to me through various outlets about not just hoping and thinking things will work out but Hoping and Asking Him. Recently, I read this portion of Joel and Victoria Osteen's blog...

It's not enough to just think about it. It's not enough to just hope for it. Something supernatural happens when you ask. It puts a demand on your faith. When you ask, God releases His favor. When you ask, the angels go to work. When you ask, supernatural doors will begin to open. Ask in faith knowing that He hears you, and He is faithful. He will complete the good work He started in you!

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you" (Matthew 7:7, NIV).

So with that being said we must not just put our hope in Jesus but ask him for the things we are hoping for IF they align with His will.  He wants to communicate with us.

Love ya,

Have a great weekend!

Endings before beginnings

 

Sharing my thoughts...Not sure if its poetry but...

 

It's like we end before we begin
Like our time is never well spent

Like night is before day even begins
Like desert and no entree
It just ends before it begins

Like a climax with no intercourse
Like credits with no previews
It just ends before it begins

Just to b without  the worries a new day brings just to b in your arms loving,  appreciating and captivated by each moment spent.

He is.....

So as of this past Sunday I decided to get a new tattoo. At first, I wanted Yahweh, which is God in Hebrew. Then I changed my mind. Noooo, I thought. I should get my fav scriputre, Hebrews 12:11. Then tonight in my quiet time...

As I was drawn to read Exodus 3:1. I devoted a portion of my quiet time to being Humble. This scripture tells the story of Moses being a sheperd and how God used this experience to humble him. I began reading the footnotes in my Life Application Bible. I came down to verses 13-15 which states:

"God called himself I AM, a name describing his eternal power and unchangeable character." That alone excites me! He never changes! Life is all about change and learning to adapt from the things and people that will always change, yet we must still grow and remain humble and keep Him first. So when life gets a little unstable and things and people began to change, I will always be reminded that He IS!

God Opposes the proud but favors the Humble...

I woke up this morning realizing that my weekend did not begin as I had planned. God spoke shortly after and said..."I wanted you to spend this weekend with me." Okay God. A weekend of quiet time with just Him and I it is.

Have a great weekend.
