Embracing the new year!

No matter what you do some people will never be satisfied, others will always be judgmental and some will always criticize. Yet they will never step up to offer assistance, help to come up with a better solution or put their hands, time or abilities to use. Regardless to the positive impact enough is never enough. Go into the new year ready to embrace new endeavors for the kingdom.

Out of Order!

One thing that I've come to realize is that church folk are the most out of order folk. Not because they do not know proper etiquette and order. The fact is that they know it, but they often choose to operate in their own order. So often want everyone else to follow protocol as they break and manipulate it. Learn to give others the same respect you want to receive and not come across as a spiritual bully to others. Titles and positions doesn't get you the right to disrespect others because you think that you grown. Grown comes with age, but maturity comes with wisdom. People wonder why some won't come to the house of worship. It's because they run into folks like this that believe they speak for all as you convient forget the things you say to others in private. Believing that everything that you do is correct when it's not. Time is winding down so get a clue.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T

People so often want to believe that because youre grown that they have the right to do as they please. So they walk around with bad dispositions, bad habits wanting good rewards. Coming to the conclusion that others owe you something.Life is about reciprocation, what you wish to receive is what you should be giving. Many people are being ran away from church by those that are suppose to be mature and wise in the Word. Instead of trying to check someone, let's take a look in the mirror.

Glory After This!

With pain comes suffering, but through suffering comes restoration, support, strength and a strong foundation.
~There will be glory after this!

Season Greetings!

This time of year most people are so consumed by spending money they don't have to impress people that really don't care for them the same. While others are over zealous about giving gifts and spending time with loved ones near and far. Yet those that don't have family, have suffered a lost or experienced a great tragedy are left to reminisce over those same memories. Can you beyond the smiles and laughter to recognize them. Lord today I send a special prayer for those that need your comfort, peace and love just to make it through this season. Don't allow them to be so consumed by pain and heartache because of loneliness in JESUS name AMEN!

Start Now!

Don't wait for the new year to arrive. Start declaring better right now. The only way to move into the next season of your life is to cut off those dead relationships, friendships and kinships that you keep allowing to move you away from God. Some of your are faking like Christians, but you keep asking God why you. He keeps trying to tell you living for me is not like putting on your clothing. Discipleship is a lifestyle not an outfit. Many of you put more into how well you dress like a saint than really being one. That's why your family, friends and co workers are so confused. One minute you shouting praises to God then the next you walking around cussing folk out and not speaking. The same hole you're trying to throw someone else in. It's really the same one you're digging for yourself. Try being the real you for once. Go into the new year seeking God and not trying to please people. Let the life you're living truly speak for who you really are.

Looking Ahead!

Story tells of a woman married for 20 years who now is beginning anew as a single woman. Facing the Life altering choice to start over. Deceive by a man that vowed to love her til death they do depart. Called by God to spread the good news yet living the opposite just as he chooses. Thinking that his hidden lufe was not seen even in God's blindspot. Instead a web of lies and deception over the course of a few years that involve betrayal from family that helped him continue this fausade to maintain multiple relationships with other women. Now your choices have sprung seeds that now must be accounted for. Yet  because she loves him and God she continue to forgive him. People always want to say what they would do, but until your steps walk in those same shoes you don't know. One thing that was so profound is how God allowed her to forgive and walk as an example of Proverbs 31 Woman. That's the difference between little girls and a grown woman. When a person chooses to continue to live in ungodly behaviors and habits with no remorse of how their actions affect others they do so willingly. Its easy to parade around the country and city side trying to impress a side chick because they dont require much. Yet a real man will live for God with integrity at all times and know he has to depend on God with every temptation. Men that operate outside of God in these type relationships need to understand they're not hurting their spouse as much as they are hurting themselves. God will strengthen you to endure the very things that you think you cant, give you peace as you go through it and help you to live out your God given purpose as you give him glory. When He is ready he will move you from that situatiin, but how you handle it until he does is our responsibility. People may never understand how and why you do what you do or endured what you did. Nor do they even care becauuse some are just nosey and want something to talk about. Let me just clear it up for you because contrary to what they may say have happened she loved him and she loves God. So just because he did her wrong it doesnt remove her love for him. Yet its sad how family members will help there own mistreat, lie and deceive their spouse/mate, but if the tables were turned it would be different.  Generational curses like infideluty can be broken, but only when thru acknowledgment, prayer and calling it what it is. God doesnt want anyone to live lesser than they should. One thing about someone who is an habitual adulteror that is an issue with them, not their spouse that they must work on.  No amount of love can change a persons bad behaviors and habits. Forgiveness has allowed her to trust to do her part to mend their relationship, but it takes two. When that trust is repeatedly broken you have to love yourself more and love them from a distance.  God created her as a helpmeet and not a doormat to watch her husband continue walking through the same revolving door. As she closes out this year and look to the future she does so the same way she entered this storm as she makes her exit with her trust in God and her hand in God's hand.
#ArealProverbs31Woman!  

Energy

If they're not adding positive energy to your life then it is time to remove them from your life. Time to disguard the trifling and make room for those destined to travel with you.

God is with us!

In the midst of storms, through times of battle and over every obstacle. When family is not there for you, when love ones walk away, with fake friends all around and even your church family are not there to pray for you. GOD has been with us every second, thru every minute, of every hour in each and every day. We walk boldly with our head held high because He allowed that which sought to destroy us not to defile us.

Your Season!!

Time has past so quickly and it seems that much hasn't changed from the beginning of the year. Focus not on where you were, but where you are now. It's not the things haven't changed. But that your focus hasnt. This is your season for chsnge, deliverance and breakthru. Don't start the new the same way. Look to do things anew because God m asked all things new.

True Diamond!

The best way to show your disinterest is to delete or keep scrolling. Don't be phased or provoked by every post, poster or picture. One thing about a diamond is that it stands out all on its own. It doesn't need to be stroked or extra thrills to draw attention to itself. The more they point to talk about they give it attention.

The Storm!

Sometimes the storms in your life come to strengthen your spirit and will to pursue purpose. Things may not always come easy, but they are doable. Continue to trust the Lord and follow His leading. This too shall pass as He works out all things for His glory.

The Foundation!

One who builds their house on a foundation of deceit and folly will not finds security. Yet one who fears the Lord will find solace, refuge and abundance through wisdom and knowledge.

Storyline

There are those that have been sitting along the sidelines cheering at your downfall, laughing and whispering at your tears, those that thought they had a hand in your storyline and those there standing right next to you hoping that you wouldn't get up again. They think that they have predicted your demise, finish or ending, but they're about to see that God has rewritten your story. Don't be upset that their plotting because God wants them to be focus on His ending of the story.

A better you!

Choosing to change doesn't mean that you are giving up who you are. It simply means that because you love who you are, you recognize that you could become a better you.
