Past on BYE.......

During a conversation with a really good friend of mine and a great testimony at church Sunday it occurred to me that many of us are afraid of succeeding or held back due to our ‘past’.  As a society we deal more on the past than the future which is a huge hindrance and can even hold us back from our destiny that was planned for us before we were conceived.  I find that it is important as a society that we no longer evaluate the worth of an individual based on their past yet more based on their present and potential.  We can assist in the pushing of someone into their destiny just as we have the ability to do the opposite. 

 It is just as important that we not be afraid to tell our own ‘past’ goodbye.  At what point of life is it okay to admit your transgressions and confess to your growth while not being fearful to step forward?  I always tell people that; “You cannot drive forward successfully while looking in the rearview mirror”.  So we must look ahead to the future so that we can make the necessary steps forward to succeed.  No we cannot change the past or what we once may have been BUT so what?!  One that does not make mistakes does not learn.  Many of us may have made larger mistakes than others but does that make your worth any different.  I hate the terms such as; ‘once a ________always a_______’.  We are speaking this negative into existence while also blocking the breakthrough that may be about to take place in someone’s life. 

 Time for a change…..no time for fear.  So as you continue down your journey to success fear not because God says, for I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. {Jeremiah 29:11}

WE do not have to be what we once were and WE shall not judge one based on such.  Speak positive into the lives of others for they too have a future and have a plan to prosper.  Tell the Past on Bye!!

 Until next time

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...
