I can do that too

today I have chosen to make a list of all the things that I know that I can complete and stick to the list as it is the plan for today. I pledge to take my own "No Challenge" today. What about you?

Quite Frankly


-->

A piece of peace
Is all I need to sustain me in this moment.
 
Tomorrow doesn't matter
Yesterday doesn't count,
I have clarity from what I have gathered.
But why would he hasten to me
Seems like a waste to me
Was this supposed to be part of my destiny?
 
I can not speak of my dreams revelation
My hearts' turbulation
My desires' manifestation
Or any other –ation
 
I will hold my tongue
Until kingdom comes
As I resist the chance to have a piece of peace.

Model Excellence

Today I am reminding myself that "its ok" to be me. I am not mediocre, I am not average. I am okay with this. I perform in excellence and model excellence. I plan to have a life worth following!

Reality blog

What happens when reality is waiting in the car for you to return from your worship services? Do your notes just self-destruct? Does your worship evaporate into the heavenlies with only foggy remnants remaining? It seems like reality is waiting, its foot holding the door ajar, in confidence of its spiritual amnesia symptomatic abilities.

We already know that His Word Promises that the enemy comes immediately to steal our seed (Matt 13:19)! Maybe the connection of hearing and fully receiving its truth is tested in the times. Just like a child tests limits, reality is testing your faith. Reality knows who has the up per hand, but will make all attempts to capture your thoughts and minimize the Power of the Word.

Reality can be changed. Yours is waiting to be changed!

To My only Brother.

You have abilities and potential that is to be released. Now more concern with how/where/when. The flood gates are being opened with opportunities for you. We all have made crazy decisions that can block and become barriers, but they are opportunities for God's glory to be immensely magnified. Don't look for a "break", expect God to move and walk out your faith in confidence that He will keep His promise! Think like, Speak life, Live Life!

Don't talk, just listen...

Why won't you let me respond? Well, I will.

No divided pie, ive made my decision. I will just have to press on. Can’t force someone to face a hopeful place. This is hard to force this space. Everytime I make room for you. You shut the door in my face. Its ok to say it, ok to feel it, but I prolly am too much for you. So do you really want me happy? Or maybe you are pushing me to happiness. Come to find out it was me dragging my feet the whole time. Well, let me help you, disconnect to, the ever evolving woman of your dreams.
My mama says after all this time, she thought she'd get to meet you. to see just who was making her daughter smile. My daddy wouldve loved you, you wouldve matched his style. And the rest of the crew, you know how we do. they would have taken you in. Well, its a "never mind", I told them never mind, Cause Im not walking that patch again.

I walk away, giving honor to patient passivity, unexercised hope and blurry dreams.

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. Frederick Douglas
As i sit here and listen to this great song about Freedom, on the weekend of Martin Luther King Jr's birthday, i am reminded that it is imperative that i maintain my personal freedom. Any situations that do not permit and encourage my independence and/or allow me to be me will not be tolerated. That's all.

Morning Meditation

Pressure is a perception. Feeling overwhelmed is objective. Being hopeful is a mindset. Having faith is a lifestyle.

It's OK.

Today I take off my boxing gloves. I don't have the desire to fight. No umph, no pow, no fizzle. I just don't have the energy. I woke up this morning and decided that what will be, will be. I decided to shrug my shoulders more often, say that I don't know (with no desires of knowing) and genuinely not be concerned with results today. My normal drive is on vacation! No proof of life in the energy department. But I don't have to, I won't complain, I will just wait for change. And I'm ok with that. I'm weak, He's strong. Simple and true equation. 2 Corinthians 12:6-10 (msg)

I can perfectly understand why ppl just walk away from their life and not look back. I don't say this in a neglectful way. Life gets heavy. Informed decision making, can be taxing. I just heard a nurse say this to a patient, " think past how you feel cuz that feeling is momentary." This makes me think on Jer 17:9. She couldn't be more right.

God will send me help and hope. Its ok to step back and let the King bring in this victory. My hope is not in these temporary situations, its in the Lord.

The Struggle

To say we struggle with something does not mean we are losing. Its acknowledging that the thing takes more energy to overcome than others. Its confessing that moments of positive self talk can prevent the stream of negativity from flowing.
This conversation's inspiration...
"I just looked n the mirror and self talk told me that it didn't like what my eyes saw and I said aloud, I am beautiful", hunched my shoulders and walked away. I'm pretty sure it will happen again, unless I choose to avoid mirrors for the rest of my life. But this time, during this struggle, I won.

Act without notice

This morning, I read that authenic leaders know who they are, know what they believe in and valuw, and act on those values and beliefs openly and candidly.

This is in the same season in which I have decided that I will continue to "Act without notice". As I am confident in decisions being made to better myself, to ensure positive attraction, to manage the atmosphere of my kids, I have desired a perfected behavior in mature positioning. I have no apologies for my maturity. When I have reached a decision, I will promptly act accordingly. Power is lost when we feel guilty, so guilty that we have to make explanations for our decisions. I choose to not acknowledge a need to explain.. I just do...and act without notice.

If you see a change in me and feel that you are deserving to have an explanation, please know that you may not get one.  I do and act accordingly.

*i always think my windshield is clean 'til its exposed to some light. ~Shauna*

James 4:2-4 You want things, but you cannot have them, so you are ready to kill; you strongly desire things, but you cannot get them, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have what you want because you do not ask God for it. And when you ask, you do not receive it, because your motives are bad; you ask for things to use for your own pleasures. Unfaithful people! Don't you know that to be the world's friend means to be God's enemy...
