Reflection technique...which will you chose??

I'm a facebook member that loves the fact I am able to keep in contact with not only old classmates but also my distant relatives. I do sometimes find the posts to be 'painful'....yes painful. Two out of five posts lately are about the way another person may see you and how you should not worry about it...yadda, yadda, yadda. WTH? With all the daily blessings we are granted including the ability to wake up and begin a day I find this to be upsetting. Not that we aren't all judged because we are and it isn't always right but reputation is important on a certain level. It appears these posts are becoming excessive and it is something to think about.

There was a time in my own life that I could find fault with everyone. My actions were always based on another person's actions or my failure was always based on the lack of another individuals actions. Justification is what my mommy calls it and it is unacceptable is what she finally told me. We all make mistakes in life and there comes a time that we must all own them. With owning your mistakes you also accept the reputation that may follow that action until you prove otherwise.

To help myself I learned the 'reflection technique' because it can't always be someone else. There are expectations that I'm to live up to and it was time that I not look at the faults of others or blame others for my own mistakes or fault them for their opinion but look into the mirror at myself. Each time we look into a mirror we have two choices....look at that which is behind us including others or look at the one reflection that is looking back at you...SELF!! Which one will you choose in order to succeed.....I choose ME and my growth with God's help began then. Try it!

The Mess of Forgiveness should be The Peace of Forgave

As I sit here and think on one of the hardest aspects of being human I stand in aww of the amazing God that we serve. Imagine an existence that God deemed a lie could never be forgiven or a fallen child of the kingdom will never have the ability to redeem our hearts and return? Are you thinking WOW, just as I did as this thought surfaced in my mind? Well in this I had a new respect for the word forgiveness and the clarity of it being an action word just as love is. Bet you never thought of that, huh?? Lol Sometime ago I dedicated myself to study the act of forgiveness and create a heart after God’s own heart. I imagined myself in a place of transition: walking through an opened door in an ALL white garment with one leg that hadn’t stepped in yet with black pants and shoe on (that one leg). I realized this spoke literally to the place I was in my life; wanting so badly to continue to live for God and grow in my spiritual walk y...

Stand without Wavering

As I sit at the computer and ponder on the upcoming transitions my life will be taking and attempting to mentally plan what I can; I immediately got a headache thinking of all I wish I could have done or what others reminded me I should have done. In the mist of this planning I turned my speaker up on my desktop and what’s playing on Pandora, William Murphy’s Its Working. See sometimes it is easy to know the word and even quote it but is it in your spirit? I have been struggling with a variety of things lately causing me a great deal of stress and even minor health setbacks but today I am reminded that all things will work out for those that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose, I’m standing on his word. In that I feel the tug at my spirit the words, “standing on his word”. When we stand it means that we are not moving or wavering. There is a great deal of faith required in order for us to stand without wav...

Growth is the Best Option

Have you ever experienced moments that prove your growth and it still startles you? I have been having such moments rather often lately and I can only giggle at myself. I have prayed often that God will elevate my maturity in him as well as in the world. On many occasions we are hurt, experience conflict or even hurt others because of our lack of maturity spiritually as well as emotionally. I remember reaching a period in my personal life a couple years ago that I made a choice to seek God, praying that my heart will be renewed and my mind will be more understanding in God. That I would not have such emotional unrealistic responses to things that I did not like or made me uncomfortable especially with regards to my personal relationships. I asked to be emotionally intimate with my husband so that we may communicate on a different level to help us both grow both together as a couple, as parents and as individuals. For me to also be emoti...
