Push Forward

We are approaching the last week in January and some of you have lost your momentum while others are just getting geared up. Regardless of where you are on accomplishing your goals, I’m here to encourage you to push forward. Being challenged is not a comfortable feeling, however, it is in those times that people have showed their greatest strength. No matter what your goals and desires are, PUSH FORWARD!!!

Setbacks come, things don’t go our way, sometimes we feel lost in the thrush of life, but we must not allow this to derail us from those things our heart beats for. We have to brush ourselves off, get our minds right, review plan B, C, J, F, or Z, and PUSH FORWARD! YOU can do it! Let’s Go! I’m here to help! Contact me today!

Don’t Curse the Snow!

Many people complain about snow, not realizing the benefits it contains. It serves many purposes. One is it purifies the air. Many people get sick in the winter and germs spread like wildfire. A good snowfall cleans the air and helps rid these germs. Snow also has many benefits to natures. You can find out more information from this article published by the University of Delaware (healthy snowfall) and a scripture that has been broken down backing the same information here.

However, I want to talk to you briefly about Not Cursing the Snow! Some many people complain, get upset, lose their marbles, and all kinds of silliness because it snowed. However, people fail to realize that snow is something God has called blessed. The reason He calls it blessed is because over and over again, we see in the word that it is associated with being pure. Purity and holiness go hand in hand so if something is pure then it is holy, and if it is holy then it is blessed. Yet so many times in life, people want to take what God has made good, what God has redeemed, what He has restored, and curse it! Just like we tell children to watch their mouth, some of you need to do the same and stop cursing that which God has blessed. It could be yourself, another person, a children, or something as simple as snow. But I promise, if you change the way you talk, things will change in your life.

You Have the Power

So many times people complain about their life without taking time to examine themselves. Life happens, but how we respond determines what follows that incident. Sometimes, life happens and we feel powerless, and other times life happens but we have just enough strength to dust ourselves off, and keep moving.

It’s not by mistake that you’re reading this blog! I want you to know that YOU HAVE THE POWER!!!! You have the power to change your situation, to change your environment, to change how you wake up in the morning, and to change how you live life. Not only is the mind a powerful weapon, but so is the words you declare. Make a decision TODAY to change how you will handle tomorrow. You have the power to live the abundant life, and life to the fullest.

Your Time is NOW

So many people focus on their turning point happening at the beginning of a new year. They give in to the hype of leaving everything in the past. Letting go of the previous year and focusing on the new year. The reality is, nothing has changed except the date on a calendar. The truth is, 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by February because the mindset of the people have not changed.

The moment you determine you’re tried of living life as usual it is then that your time has come! The time of day, date on the calendar or day of the week is irrelevant! Your time is NOW if that’s what you desire. All you have to do is submit the yearning in your heart to God, and trust His plan. After all, He is the dispenser of our faith. The problem with so many people is that they live their life in fear not realizing that fear has torment. 1 John 4:18 Trusting God really is enough. Your time is NOW to live life abundantly, and not one of unfulfillment.
