Mental Attitude Cont'd

Within ourselves, it is easy for us to reflect back on our mistakes, our failures, and what we feel , is our successes. Who is keeping track of all of this? No one ~~~~~ we are the only ones that are keeping track of our accomplishments and failures and judging ourselves harshly, because we look at what the world is doing and feel we are not succeeding at all!  Ugh! I know I have compared myself and what I have done or not done in life and when I realized why I wasn't happy or successful, I took a long look at me and decided it is time to truly evaluate what it is I am doing wrong. And when I did that I found out through God's word that NOTHING is wrong with me. There is more right than wrong!



Many of us women, and there are very few who do not, tend to compare ourselves. We look at this woman who is thin, or this woman who has long flowing hair, or this woman whose teeth is straight and white, or this woman whose is built nice - - - - - - - -- -Who said we had to be perfect to achieve anything good in life and to receive anything good in life? When we compare, first of all ladies, we set ourselves up for failure. God molded us into who we are today and in His eyes we are perfect and wonderfully made. I am not saying we should become haughtly or conceited; but I am saying we should love ourselves enough so that we can have healthy relationships with others. Constantly having a negative attitude will keep us down, unhappy, and at times, depressed. Who are we trying to please, man or God?

To be on this path of a good mental attitude about ourselves does not happen overnight, in fact, it does not happen at all without effort on your part, and to want to live a healthy God-filled life, we have to want to grow, change and become all He wants us to be! Take a good look at yourself tonight before you go to bed and truly look at yourself in the mirror and evaluate you! Do not look at what is wrong with you, but focus on what you do like about you and keep going from there! It's a mountain you are going to climb, but with God's help, you will not climb it alone!

Do You REALLY Know?

I was in JC Penney a few years ago just browsing and this woman passed me calling a little girl who was in the shoe section to come on, she was ready to leave. The little girl quickly grabbed a specific pair of shoes and walked over to her, pleading for the shoes. Well being social, I commented they were very cute shoes and would look good on her. The Grandmother proceeded with, “She has more than enough shoes at home and although they are cute, we are not buying them”. The little girl begged for a short while and realized she was not going to win this battle, so the shoes went back to the shoe department. As the little girl was leaving, her Grandmother began telling me how she provides for the child quite often and her daughter (the child's Mother) do not have a good relationship. She badly berated her daughter to the point I said in my mind, “God should I pray for this woman”; because from listening to her story, I felt the relationship could not continue is this manner, an...

SILENCE - does no one Justice!

I posted this September 25, 2016 on social media. I have added some things; but it still holds weight and value! God put this on my heart to repost, and almost 4 years later many are seeing what Dr. King meant in the 60’s! I am speaking of those who call themselves Christians and Pastors who are silent and have been for centuries! Jesus says in John 15:17-18 AMPC: 17 This is what I command you: that you love one another. 18 If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. Jesus also said: J ohn 15:10-16 AMPC If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love  and  live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father's commandments and live on in His love. I have told you these things, that My joy  and  delight may be in you, and that your joy  and  gladness may be of full measure  and  complete  and  overflowing. This is My commandment: that you love one another [jus...

Appetizer # 3 Knowledge - Cont'd

Over eighteen years ago, God gave me the knowledge to create a flyer ~ and to this day I am not sure how I created it. I know the knowledge came from God because when I went to go to the computer to re-design it instead of scan it in, I could not figure it out! Hmmmm I was a computer tech when it was designed and had the ability to figure out the ins and outs of creating a custom flyer as the one you will see shortly. But today, the knowledge is not there. It's amazing how God gives us the gifts we need at the time it is necessary to do it! ~ I know, I got off the path a little bit ~well back to the flyer and the message God wants us to receive. The message the flyer is portraying is so profound that I became ecstatic when in all of the wonderful creations from years gone by, I found this. OH WOW ~ was my initial reaction and then I ask myself, " What is it God wants me to do with this"? Obviously , there was work to do within me over the eighteen years to understa...
