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

Growing in Wisdom.....

You know I've learned in my 30 years some valuable things that I hope I'm able to remember for a lifetime and past along to my children.  Out of all these things learned there are two things that I hold on to and even have the joys of reminding the elders in my life {although the had the pleasure of teaching me}.  "Time heals all wounds"......what a big fat lie.  This is the famous statement dished to mourners, divorcees and scorn lovers.  Folks stop making this statement that should have died with mythological creatures.....it's not true!  Its not the time that does the healing but the information that you are able to learn within that time frame.  Now.....to all the mourners, divorcees and scorn lovers please remember that you must make great use to the time that God has given you beyond such tragic events in your life and learn to live beyond it, "Make a change, to receive a change" is my statement of reality.  "Love is not suppose to be this m...

God is still there with you....PRAISE him!

Good Afternoon.  I pray that life has been manageable for all of you, I've been feeling like a new puppy treading water (barely staying afloat).  lol  Last night I decided that I could not be consumed by every little imperfect detail of life or every plan that isn't happening the way I want it to.  In these moments it is easy to shift your focus from the things of God to the things of man.  In many instances at this stage of my life it tends to be my family, health or career but regardless if stand more firmly on God's word and study the word deeper in the tough times rather than studying the situation the end result will be a smoother transition. God didn't leave us to figure out life alone but he however never promised we won't have it hard from time to time.  He did promise that he will never leave us nor forsake us!  This scripture stands firm in my heart this moment and I will lean on his love as he guides me. So today I tell you to be encoura...

Leaning into 2013....

As we have now entered into a new year I see the growth and change that has pushed me into this year.   2012 provided me with several learning experiences and many changes that I will take into 2013.   In 2012 my family said hello to a sister getting married {new brother in-law} as well as a mommy getting engaged…..we now look forward to the soon arrival of a new nephew bringing in 2013 with a BIG BANG!!   I see the maturity in my marriage in a year’s time.   My children have also all began new chapters as we enter into another year and it is great to see…..   2012…….   Raven has gone from an uncomfortable middle school freshman questioning her place to a straight ‘A’ 7 th grader taking a place in society.   An artistic mind with a fashion sense to kill….all while making her parents extremely proud.   We do encounter typical preteen and parenting conflicts but I have loved every day of being her mom and she makes me immensely prou...
