Today's Mantra

“Live Like Someone Left the Gate Opened!”

Image
 I am thankful for the simple things of life such as the air that I breathe, the warmth of the sun on my skin (when its out-lol!) the cold weather and warm clothes , food (I love good food), rainy days,knowing right from wrong, growing into a woman with integrity, and the list goes on. I am truly blessed . I have the most amazing God, children, family,friends, and job. God has blessed me so much more than I could have ever imagined. It is so beautiful how God is orchestrating it all. Each day He is doing a new work in me. Each day I see a whole new part of who He is. With each day that passes, I am all the more sure that this life that I am living  is the one that I am meant to live. Seeing where God has brought me in these last few years, I cannot wait to see what He will do in the years to come. I am calling on the promises that He has given me that He will satisfy my years. Thank you God for loving me when I was unlovable, believing in me when I could not believe in myself, a

Navigating Through Life’s Transitions

Image
  There’s a light-hearted (and thoroughly apocryphal!) story about a man out hunting in rugged countryside. As he pushes his way through deep undergrowth he stumbles and suddenly, to his horror, finds himself slipping over a bluff. His rifle flies in one direction, his pack in another, and he goes straight down. In desperation he manages to grab hold of a tree branch growing out of the side of the cliff. There he is, dangling precariously over a hundred-metre drop onto jagged rocks. He looks up and realizes he can never make it back to the top. There’s nothing to grip onto and the cliff face is crumbling and unstable. He looks down and nearly passes out with fright. He could never survive the fall. In panic he calls out, “Help, help! Is anybody there?” It’s an instinctive reaction. He knows he’s far from any human assistance. Not surprisingly, then, he nearly falls off the branch when a voice from above booms back, “I’m here. What do you want?” The man can’t figure out where exactly th

“Who do YOU say I am?”

Image
 Notes of Inspiration: 📓🖋 “Who do you say I am?” **************************************** 13  When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14  They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;( B ) others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”( C ) 15  “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” ************************************ In the above text, we find Jesus going about His business doing what only He could. He continues to journey northward until He walks up on His disciple and ask them one of the most profound question in the Bible. Jesus put this question to his followers. Who do you say I am?” Jesus challenge the disciples to assess the true level of their faith. It is an affecting and very human moment. A moment in time, that Jesus was well aware of the buzz of conversation that His work of miracles were causing “I Am” is an important phrase throughout the Bible. The “I Am” st

Finding the Joy in the Journey

Image
Trouble don’t last always!!!! You have gone through a lot and you're still here! What don’t kill you, will definitely make you stronger for the journey. In spite of how you may feel at this time, this experience will not break you. Whatever happened to you does not own you or determine your future. It is an experience that you must choose to grow through and not allow it to shut your life down. Without a doubt.......this is easier said than done. But you have the ability to put this experience in your past, and not allow it to overwhelm your “now “or dictate how you are positioned in the world. Standstill  for a bit to get your head around where you are and resolve to handle the matter. You know, life is like a roller coaster. Sometimes you are up and sometimes you're down. Serve the world notice and let the naysayers know that you are a fighter and quitting isn’t in your DNA. You must trust that things will get better and they will. Knowing who you are is key to having what yo

Into the Deep!

Image
e Deep! There is an old saying, Give a  man  a  fish  and you feed him for a day;  teach a man to fish  and you feed him for a lifetime.   Mark 5:1-7, talks about a man name Simon who knows a lot about fishing. So we find Simon in a boat in SHALLOW waters. Here in these verses we find Simon fishing and fishing and fishing and fishing AND catching nothing. Finally, Simon decides to get out of the boat and wash his nets with hopes of doing better the next time he cast his net. You see all hope wasn’t gone because of the fact that he washes his net. He plans to go back out! I would have probably sold that net........lol! Even afar off, Jesus sees Simon and the other fisherman. It was a crowded shoreline but Jesus saw them. He sees you too. He’s aware of your struggles and situations. We all at some point or another has invested ourselves into a new job, child, marriage,or some kind of endeavor. And it seems to no end that we are not getting any return on our investment. You’ve probably be

Don’t get distracted and find yourself on a ledge but even if you do know how to talk yourself down! Don’t allow anyone to mess up your joy!

He can turn your situation around in the last 35 days of this year! So, don’t throw away your confidence because confidence will yield you great rewards! God is able to do just what He said and He will fulfill every promise. So don’t allow those things that use to steal your joy take you prisoner. Remember how you use to respond ......well don’t do that thing ....do something different ....be kind.....be understanding.....but be real because God is looking at the condition of your heart to bless you with what He can now trust you with! #winningnow#winning2020
