  My heart is overflowing with a good theme;

  I recite my composition concerning the king;

​ My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

​                                                      (Psa 45:1, NKJV)

"Change Will Meet You In Motion"

Yesterday Pastor Brian Pierce stated: "You've got to see it before you see it if you're ever going to see it!" Man, what a confirmation to me to narrow my focus on exactly what God has placed in my spirit. Life has a way of changing seasons on us & if we're not careful we can be like the children of Israel who couldn't appreciate the present glory because it didn't look like the former glory! Change is just ahead & we must remember that movement inspires movement. Your seed's been growing under the ground but you've gotta see it in FULL BLOSSOM/MOTION today. With that simply said, get positioned for the change that's soon to overtake you in the God sort of way. Shondo!

"The Future Only Goes In One Direction"

 Stretch your arms wide and freely embrace this brand new day! No matter what the backdrop (yesterday) may have been, as long as there's breath, there's fresh opportunity for moving forward. No looking back allowed for DESTINY is surely ahead and not behind you. Get it together and move towards the mark. 3 Things to keep in mind as you reposition: 1) Hear the voice of God, 2) Listen to His strategic instructions, and by all means 3) Trust & obey what He says when He speaks. You're built for this so the only thing left to say is, "Onward!"

"Change" Is A Purpose In Itself.

Have you ever felt like you were literally swirling and twirling in a whirlwind of change? Well I have sure have and I'm certain that I'm not the only one because change is an integral part of LIVING this life! The good news is that whirlwinds are preordained agents of change that have an attached promise that cannot be broken by our God who is constantly making all things new.

If you don't believe it just take a look at an expectant mother's sonogram at eight weeks and then again at twenty-six weeks. What can be seen is undeniable growth and development necessary for healthy life. Next, check out the lowly, underestimated caterpillar that crawls on the ground in the beginning. Now, fast forward to the end of the metamorphosis cycle and marvel at the beautiful creature that has evolved and emerged. Wow, talk about an example for change. This reminds me that I actually have a poster of a beautiful butterfly who has come into its own after a process of time. The quote by Trina Paulus says: “How does one become a butterfly?" she asked.  "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”

The revelatory thing about the butterfly however that is often overlooked is that the only possible way it can become its finished product is that it first has to die. Oh my. It is impossible for me to comprehend this, to write this without recalling the precious words our Saviour, Jesus Christ spoke so long ago in John 10 that still live today: Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.  No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”

A little further on John 12 reads: Most Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.  He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.  If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

No matter where we are on our chosen routes we always have the prerogative to CHANGE our minds. As a matter of fact God has been waiting on many to do just that so He can show up and show out in our lives. We must not be insistent on staying a course, remaining in a relationship or continuing to mourn what God has rejected. The moment that we are willing to relinquish our wills... will be the moment that long awaited manifestation appears. Selah.

"Let's Shuck Some Corn!"

As a kid, my Mom & Grandmom used to pick and shuck corn. I used to run when they brought the bushel barrels home because I did NOT want to see any worms! I never once gave thought to the planting, waiting and growth process.  All I knew was that I wanted my corn cleaned, cooked and with butter on it at the dinner table! That was my natural, kiddie perspective. 

(Mark 4:28) says: For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.  EVERYTHING'S a process. According to the Word of God... if we scatter the seed, they will sprout, grow and yield something BIG! With that being said, I'm all grown up now and ready to shuck some corn. I've got my sickle ready... what about you?

"Prepare to Prosper"

Now who in the world wouldn't like to be riding along and see a sign like this?! This is only an image but we need to prepare for it to be our reality in both the spiritual and the natural because it really can happen! As a matter of fact the possibilities are endless because it's the heart of God for your life according to 3 John 2: "Beloved, I WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."

So let's all remember that PROSPERITY is far more than just money... greenbacks... cold hard cash. It supersedes material possessions for it works from the inside out not the outside in.  I want to define it as "Total life well-being that is rooted and grounded in Christ and His righteousness." Sounds much like Mathew 6:33 which advises: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." In other words, whatever you want, God's got it. Wow!  He's got it and doesn't mind releasing it, but we cannot bypass paying the required travel toll! 

I do believe that you have it in you to indeed take the pre-ordained "Prosperity - NEXT EXIT" route so keep a check on these highway markers and you'll be fine: 

1) Attitude - concerning the journey itself determines ALTITUDE
2) Accountability - concerning the handling of each instruction determines PROMOTION
3) Achievement - reaching the destination in spite of highway construction determines REWARDS

Blessns & Welcome to your next  assigned exit called, "PROSPERITY!"

"The Courage to Ask & to Ask Right"

"Put 'em up, put 'em up! I'll fight ya' both together if you want. I'll fight ya' with one paw tied behind my back. I'll fight ya' standin' on one foot. I'll fight ya' with my eyes closed." -The Lion
Picture
Most are pretty familiar with how cowardly the lion from the Wizard of Oz was. The lion for reasons unknown was afraid of just about everything he faced in his life, blindly thinking the Wizard had the power to give him COURAGE. Not so. What I conclude is that he was so distracted by looking OUTWARD that he neglected to look INWARD and... trust what was already built in.

 Here we have this lion that was not a turtle with a shell in which to hide but THE KING OF THE JUNGLE! He was called not only to roar the loudest, but to rule and conquer, yet he is afraid to take his rightful place. He got tired of existing off purpose; tired of being afraid so he set off on a long and tedious journey in hopes of receiving what he already possessed. Arriving in the Land of Oz he opened his mouth and asked for courage, but he asked the wrong source. How disappointed he was to discover that the power he had believed in was no power at all but a farce, a fake, a phony. Thankfully the little man, who was not a Wizard at all, shared a basic truth with the lion: "You are under the unfortunate delusion that simply because you run away from danger you have no courage. You're confusing courage with wisdom." Can I share some basic truths with you today?

(Matthew 7:7) gives us BASIC INSTRUCTION for using the courage within: "ASKKKKKK, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 

(I Cor 2: 9) gives us SPECIFICITY on having the courage to not just ask, but daring to ask BIG: But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Find your faith, trust in the right source and work your courage while it is day!

From A Girl Who's Made Mistakes...

At some point we have got to DECIDE who we want to be or rather - exactly who we don’t want to be. We have to decide who we want to respect and who we never can. And then be everything we believe in. For sure everything’s much easier said than done! That’s why when we deviate, we must jump back into the person we really want to be. The person who makes us smile in the mirror. Everything’s not 100% neat or 100% good, but let what we do be 100% US. God has placed greatness inside of you so when you do not exactly live up to that greatness, don't beat yourself up! Simply remember WHO and what is IN you!

Quote of the Day: "The WORST of you is NO MATCH for the BEST of you! Just IMPLEMENT!"

"I Am Changing"

7/25/2012

Each day I'm growing stronger, better, wiser by the grace of God through Jesus Christ. 3rd trimester has arrived & I'm moving kind of slow. Umph! These transitional pains are really something but I can't give up now for I've come too far & couldn't turn back now even if I wanted to, which I don't. Gotta keep pressing' for the mark, stretching through the through to get to.... Destiny.
