The Fine Line of the Defined.

"If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive." Audre Lorde

Ms Lorde,

In 1982, I was 5 years old. If I had grasped this concept then... wow! Thank you #AudreLorde

The expectations of others can be so taxing. The expectations we place on ourselves can be unrealistic. Comparison has no place in the peaceful rivers of the mind.

My  prayer request for you and the meditation
1.Continue to be vibrant, hope-filled and bold.
2. Doubt negative Self Talk (you will get that later).
3. Stand on my uniqueness (for I am fearfully and wonderfully made)
.

How can you apply this quote to your life?

today's affirmation

My day can be full of worries and concerns or it can be filled with solutions and resolution! Today I chose to 1.have a glass that I can manage 2.have the drink in the flavor I can temper and 3. an amount that I can manage effectively. No half empty or half full; MY CUP OVERFLOWS!

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.

 

 

Dont fret

"Why me" and "When Lord" is a desperate, lonely and unproductive place.

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!

I still believe

Crying is easy...sowing in tears requires faith!!!

Encourage yourself.

the pwr 2 encourage urself isnt really deep w/n. its actually the constant replaying of superficial positive reminders that ignite the soul.

think live, speak life, live life.

If.

If I had never fallen. If I had never bumped my head. Never made a wrong turn. I would never know how gently, wonderfully, perfectly and masterfully He could touch, speak, heal, restore and uplift.

I'm evolving

Eventually, our goals should become our way of life and new goals established. *Shauna*

Resolve to take a risk, to put negative comments out of your head, and, most importantly, to forget about doing it wrong. If
you let yourself, you will succeed – and inspire others to follow in your footsteps. ~Jane Powell~

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!

Today I will do some emotional decluttering. I want to process anger and disappointment. Past baggage but most importantly address present occurrences immediately.

Thank you for your support.
