Am I Big-Eyed?

Am I Big-Eyed?  In life we always seem to want more... a newer car, the most up to date phone or laptop, a bigger house, name brand clothes and the list goes on and on (at least mine does).  So while doing my ‘self check’ inventory I decided it was time to get it together.  

5 Steps to Resolving issues on Self Check Inventory

1.  Realize there is a problem and identify it.  (Evaluate the present state and determine how it is different from the ultimate goal)

2.  Analyze the problem (search beyond the obvious for circumstances surrounding the problem)

3.  Brainstorm for possible resolutions (be creative and consider similar problems and how you have solved them, make changes where necessary)

4.  Evaluate possible solutions (think about the results of each action that could be taken, advantages as well as disadvantages…don’t forget to think long-term as well as immediate results)

5.  Choose a solution and let her rip!!

Journey to Self:  “In which areas of your life do you experience the most discontentment? What would it take for you to be content?”

GoodBye Backslidden Condition

Hi, my name is Tasha and I’m a backslider! 

When I say backslider I don’t mean that I’m wilding out... I simply mean that I’m not living my life in a way that is of God.  I’m not reading my bible, going to church and or spending time with God like I should.  When this begins to happen I slowly begin seeing myself become more and more of the flesh and waaaayyy less of the spirit.  Meaning I curse more and I view things in “Tasha Translations” instead of in a positive light.  Don’t get me wrong, I still know that I’m blessed, but I allow small things to overshadow my blessings when it’s more me and less him.  So after a conversation with a good friend of mine and a text from my Uncle whom I love more than he’ll ever know…I woke up this morning and decided that today was the day that I would begin to get back on the right path.

I started my day by reading my ‘Mornings with Jesus’ book and the passage came from Matthew 25:21

  His master replied, "Well done, good and faithful servant!

You have been faithful with a few things;

I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!"  

When things happen to let me know my thoughts are in sync with God’s messages it makes me feel as though confirmation is being sent my way assuring me that I am making the right step. So here I am; AGAIN, ready to take that step in hopes of continuing down a never ending journey of self improvement. Don't be like me and keep overlooking the signs, when God doesn’t get your attention willingly he may force you to pay attention to him...and he always wins!

FAITH STEP: What has Jesus given to you: How can you be more faithful with those “things”?  Pick three of them and work on being more faithful this week.

Today my voices are asking you to join me in this faith step. Let’s say goodbye to the backslidden condition and have a faithful week!

Until Next Time…
