So What?!?!

Everyone wants to know what happened.  Everyone is judging your situation. Everyone will know your relationship failed.  Everyone will have their opinion. SO WHAT?!?! When going through difficult times in a relationship so often people are willing to remain in a knowingly failed relationship because of what others will say or think. If you continue to allow the thoughts and comments of others to dictate your actions you will never live in peace.  Peace of mind is vital and can only be accomplished with constant prayer, proper thoughts and the will to succeed.

There is no need for a lengthy write-up today. Write down or think about all the thoughts that plaque your mind regarding your failed relationship and the judgment passed on you… then write or think SO WHAT!?! It’s that simple. You cannot concern yourself with the thoughts and opinion of others. They are not part of your support system, they do not have genuine concern for your well-being, and they do not pay your bills. So why are you placing so much emphasis on their opinion?  Focusing on what others will think or say will only halt your healing process. You have to keep your mind on what’s best for you…not what others think you should do. The goal is to stay focused on self and not have your mind roaming from one subject to the next.  You want peace of mind not a piece of your mind.

Peace of mind is Priceless!  Learn to Live in Peace NOT Pieces!

Yield to God

Public speaking is not one of my strong points, well I cant really say that because it's not something that i've really done before. But recently I was asked to speak at a conference, my initial response was "Me? Really?" She was like of course you, so I told her let me pray on it and I’ll get back to her. I’ve never really spoke in church before…. As I was talking to God about speaking in church tears somehow filled my eyes and begin to fall on the floor and before I knew it I starting talking out loud and said "God take my hand and lead me, I’m ready to walk with you". After that I told Geralyn that I was going to do it. It was at that time that I was instantly filled with excitement to see where God wanted to lead me next. I had no idea what I would speak about but I knew that by me yielding to God that things would work out just fine. So I felt bad about second guessing Geralyn’s decision to have me speak… Because who am I to stand in the way of her yielding to God, I honestly feel that God used her to help me obtain an even closer relationship with him. Because when I called on him something happen and the spirit has been making great moves in my life ever since. To know that God has a calling on my life and he wants to use my voice and my experiences to spread his greatness is one of the greatest blessings that I could have been given.

Growing up I’ve always heard people say "God put it in my spirit" "God told me" or "God said" and I never really understood what they meant by that…in all honesty it was confusing to hear people say that. But after a lot of praying, soul searching, forgiving and acknowledgment I know exactly what those statements mean. Sometimes we take statements so literal that we fail to realize the underlying meaning and we miss out on things. We miss out on so many blessings by focusing on what we want and not what God has in store for us when we replace faith with hope; which are two completely different things. I have always viewed God as a loving parent… all you have to do is cry out for help and he will show up once you’ve learned your lesson and your ready to do things his way! He wont show up too early because maybe you wont learn your lesson, but he will show up! See that’s all it takes John 15:7 reads "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you" How Awesome is that? When God restores he re-establishies in a way that is far better than what previously existed and all because we yielded to him.

　

Today my voices are saying, Remember How you React Today, Alters your Tomorrow so do not allow your reactions to be the factor that blocks your time of restoration…work on having them being the reason for your blessings!

Until Next Time...

Dear God

As I was going through my old emails I found this and felt that it may be something that someone needs to read.  The letter to God was written in October of 2010 and the response was given in November of 2010.

Dear God,

 I know you have the blueprint laid out for my life;

And you want what’s best for me, yet you still allow strife,

To mold and make me what you have me to be

But why did I have to come down this road is what I can’t see.

The road of depression, anger and regret..

Lord I keep listening for you to say “my child please don’t fret”

But I hear nothing, and I need to hear you voice…

Please help me Lord, before I make the wrong choice…

The choice that will lead to things that are not like you…

Things that make me feel better, but multiple sins I will accrue.

Sins that will add, a crimson stain to my path

Lord is it only me, that your allowing to feel wrath?

I know you didn’t bring me, this far to leave me alone,

And since you created me, u know some things I just wont condone

So tell me what is it , that’s led me to this place…

I’ve been running for 31 years now and I cant seem to win this race!!!

I wrote this letter to God a week ago, and on Sunday Pastor blew me away... it was as if God was answering my letter to him and using my pastor as his messenger.  The topic of his sermon was “The Power of Release & Praise”.  He spoke about activating the power of forgiveness and how God gives us the power to forgive but he can’t forgive for us.  He went on into saying that we have to Release or set free those grudges that we are holding on to, in order to receive our blessings.  The only thing holding us back from the next level is us; we have become our own enemy! 

Release is the 1^st step in success.  The spirit of forgiveness is a divine gift from God that places us in the super natural market.  And that’s definitely one market that I don’t want to miss out on! When we forgive, we are forgiven…when we hold on, we are held accountable for the grudges we hold. So Let Go and Let God!! Forgiving does not change the past but it does enlarge your future.

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you. “
