WORDS are alive

So just a few words for today that I have been given.  We all want something, or many things for that matter!  It's all about discipline and consistency of course!  I know way too much for my own good!  Don't we all!  If you are not were you want to be, then there is a reason.  It's called self sabotage!!  Some may never know this and if so you are so blessed and lucky!  I on the other hand, I struggle in this.  Maybe I want too much or maybe I have just not decided exactly what I want!  I will blog tomorrow about more of this, but just wanted to list a few WORDS.  Words have life and they are meant to give you just that.  Other words can destroy or confuse!  Lets choose to give life to our selves and others today.  EVERYDAY!

Here ya Go!

Don't Fight Change
Allow Yourself to make Mistakes
Continue to Grow
Know Yourself
Avoid Self Sabotage
Surround yourself with Uplifting people
Above all.......NEVER GIVE UP!

GOD is for you!  You can become all your are and were meant to be.

Jeremiah 29:11-13. 
¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ¹² Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ¹³ You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Life is Beautiful!  You are more Beautiful, for you are

Journey.  Not sure what I just wrote, but lets hope it makes
some kind of sense!

You're So Sensitive: The Art of Extreme Self Care

What! I'm too sensitive

I have not blogged in so so long!  I sometimes think no one out there cares to read what I have to say, but who cares!  Am I not writing for myself after all.  I have neglected many areas of my life again, so I am yet on another journey to piece the puzzles of my life together.  Believing, good sense and direction is coming.  I know we all do the best we can with were we are at emotionally.  I also know how life is just too much to take sometimes.  To all of you mothers out there, I do not know how you do it all!  I feel overwhelmed often and I have not even take the plunge to be a parent.  I could go attempt to explain many unresolved areas of my life or "HEART" really at this moment, but I really came on to say a few things.  I have been told all my life by so many people that I am too sensitive.  I have always felt like this is bad, or that something is wrong with me.  I have battled myself and God and no matter how much I let it go.  This issue keeps coming back as a bad reminder.....I am weak.  Well, I am finally finding my way out!  There have always been signs, encouraging words from a few others, God assurance and well I just say Timing NOW!  I am embracing this fact, I am SENSITIVE and that is ok.  It's has allowed me to be a helper, an encourager, a singer and a giver.  I have also realized you cannot give your sensitivity away to the wrong people.  I call them Bad Mouth Negative people!  I wonder if many of these "negative" people were once sensitive, but decided they could not survive in the real world unless they were more abrasive.  WE must protect this gift of Sensitivity! All the crazy makers hate us sensitive souls.  Here is a video by one of my many teachers I enjoy Cheryl Richardson.  It really helped me to get the next level.  If you are a sensitive beauty please watch the video I have posted above.
God has given you a gift and it's up to us to protect it!  Could not have said it better myself.  God Bless Your Sweet Hearts

Really enjoy this gals blog! http://thefashionistacoach.blogspot.com/ I am working on improving my wardrobe and fashion sense. I am having a good time rediscovering my creativity through fashion. It is a process! It's all about balance too!!

Forgiveness

All of us had heard about forgiveness I am sure! I was learning this past week about just that, but on a much deeper level! I am so thankful to God and to those who follow after truth. I am not always consistent in my walk of Faith, but thank Jesus He still keep pursuing me with passion. Crazy as it is, this force of God keeps pursuing the hearts of humans! I tell ya, I keep finding so many walls in my life. Many a times I loose my vision of light, which poors from the deepest part of my self... who is God. I mean, I don't see how I can be super "spiritual" all the time. I think we are a masterpiece of color and textures with shades of light and dark. I must have balance! Which means, I must care for the outward self, as well as the inward self. As in all things Life and God, I feel a presence always with me! Even if I am about to make a mistake, I know I am not alone in my weakness. Thank God! Now back to forgivenss! Learning again, but now getting it much deeper still! That true forgiveness means not remembering the past mistakes of any who have caused you pain. To seriously keep no record of wrong! I mean, I am willing to accept God grace and forgivness for my own well being. Yet, am I not always willing to do the same for others fully. Especially those who have hurt me the most! Maybe a family member especially!! We must be more than willing to forgive then just saying it. We must go deeper! We must forgive and then forget! Let it GO! This does not mean by any means to let yourself be abused people. Sometimes a relationship cannot continue, but we must really release them. All the while releasing ourselves to recieve more of God. Striving still to regard others as better than ourselves. For this is the heart of the one True God! To pray for our enemies and for those who hurt us the most. For those who act out of pain or even ignorrance, are always the ones who suffer the most. We are just mere casualties! Let us continue to move forward in Peace and Grace. Let us not remain in the past ever and stuck in unforgiveness! Search or hearts or Lord and Renew a right Spirit in Us! I have no idea if any one will get anything from this, but I felt the need to share. God is our Healer!

Just Go

I was praying, meditating and listening today. I wanted to share what I learned. I think so many of us have given up on dreams or visions in our lives. I can say that has been true for me in many ways and if that is you, then this is for you. Instead of waiting for someone to come along and tell you what you need to do with your life. Learn to listen to your maker, take your faith and put it into action. If you have a desire to do something more or better in your life. Go do it! Pick up your mat and walk!! You better believe you have what you need to do just that. God has granted us the ability to do what He has already given you. Learning is Remembering! Even if you are fearful, discouraged or whatever. Don't let that stop you! Get your life right with God, keep your eyes on Him and watch your life change. I write this for me and for anyone who needs to hear this. You don't have to have a degree, or a history of experience. If you ask for wisdom and courage....God will give it to you. He loves us so much and ultimately is the authority on who we are. Whatever you need, you are not alone. You don't have to look at the big picture, leave that to God and just begin. Begin to desire more, begin to be free, begin to have faith and begin to be courageous. Whatever you want, God wants more for you! Sow and Reap the rewards. The skill will come, but the vision comes first. Don't keep being stuck! We are not rejects, we are the hands and feet of God. For those who don't have this belief, well I pray you find peace.

Living in the moment is a choice

I have not blogged in a while and I am sure not many people even read if at all. I am really writing this for me as an outlet and in hopes of sharing lessons, as they come to me. I slept in today thank God! It' been a long week and I started feeling anxious and a little over tired. I have so much that was put on my plate all at once in the last month. With all the choices recently introduced in my life, it's like being at an all you can eat buffet. I am now evaluating each week and making sure I am adding the right things into my life. Somehow, I do not feel that happening lately, but I am thankful for all of the concrete business opportunities. Now, I am just narrowing it all down and seeing what suits me more and more. This week, I hope to make it back to community group and start allowing myself to be involved more with Christian Community. I know it's a good thing and one that I should not be scared of. I fear I may be judged, but why should I. I mean no one has it all together! Also, my impression has been that they will want to take up too much of my time, but that is my choice. It doesn't have to be a negative thing in my life, but a positive one. Tomorrow then, we will find our way back to the group.

I came across a little article today that I wanted to share it. It is about acceptance. I decided again today, to just accept where I am daily, do my best and not feel guilty when I need down time. I believe living in each moment is the key to happiness! Focus really helps with that too!! I just started to get out of wack and then listened to a sermon last night and read this article it's exactly what I needed. Here ya go!


Acceptance
"If you are on a train, will you reach your destination quicker by running up and down the corridors? Some processes just need to take as long as they need to take. That's not easy when you feel a burning desire to get them over with as quickly as possible. Yet that's actually all the more reason to make sure that you don't waste your energy. Even if it means incurring the disapproval of people who do not understand, you need to pull back a little and pace yourself this month. Focus on what can be done, and become less agitated about whatever, for now, cannot be altered."
Take Action Challenge
If the above passage resonates with you, you might want to print it out and keep it nearby. Taking a few moments to read it when you feel impatient or frustrated may be just the remedy you need to return to center.


Christ is that center for me and I have not given Him the place he deserves in my life. It's because of my relationship with Jesus and His guidance, that I am able to add or take away anything in my life. After all, His best is the best for me. I hope you all will find your center and breathe deep. Take a moment today and feel who your are deep within. Ask yourself or God, is there anything I need to add or take away from my plate? I am not going back for seconds at the buffet. My plate is full right now and I want to enjoy every bite!
