Get out of your own way!!

Sometimes we can block our selves from doing what we want/need to do.
We will think about what others will say.
We blame the devil for our own slow moving feet.
Get out of your own way and breathe.



Break out of all those things that are holding you back and find the freedom to live the life you deserve.



 
No barriers, only open spaces for you to creat


Be all you can be, God got you!!!!

FULL......

Hey everyone,

This week's blog is just a flow...
Flowing with my heavenly Father!!!

You know it, can recite it. But meditate on it line by line and flow....flow with your  Heavenly Father!!!

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters, He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
For you are with me; Your rod and staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever!!! Psalm 23 #NKJV

Rest! Go to sleep!



Hey everyone,

We sometimes run this race called life without a thought of rest.  Why do we feel that we can go and go like the energizer bunny without a thought about what we are doing to ourselves?  Even God found it necessary to rest.  In Genesis 2:2 it says that after six days of creating God rested on the seventh day. God is all powerful and decided to rest so why do we who are mere humans think that we can go non-stop?  We need to sleep or rest because it recharges our body, its a function that repairs and restores us.

Don't think you are so indispensable that you sleep at work, you can be replaced!

Never get to this point that you sleep in your clothes, that means that you have pushed yourself unnecessarily. 

Yes work, but learn to relax!


Make sleep just as important as anything else! YOUR BODY WILL THANK YOU!

Live As One!

Hey everyone,

I did an interview promoting my book "Honey Flower."  I pray that everything that was said was pleasing to God!

What do we desire for our families?  For our children to be healthy, to be able to provide shelter, food and clothing.  Praying for a safe environment and most of all to be loving towards each other.  
What about our faith?   Shouldn't  we desire for all our family members to be saved, to accept Jesus as their personal Savior? Or do we parents feel that as long as we are saved our children are saved.  Shouldn't you want each family member to have a person relationship with God?

"If you decide that it's a bad thing to worship God, then choose a god you'd rather serve-and do it today.  Choose one of the gods your ancestors worshiped from the country beyond the River, or one of the gods of the Amorites, on whose land you're now living. AS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY WE WILL WORSHIP GOD" Joshua 24:15 MB

Joshua desired that he and family worship God together! He said '"...as for me and my family..."

What about our communities? Besides wanting them to know the living God, how should we treat each other in our communities?  Remember our walk speaks about the spirit inside of us.  We should want them to see Christ in us!
Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet talk your way to the top.  Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead.  Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage.  Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.Phil 2:4-7 MB


Families make up communities!! Live as one!

US!

Hey everyone,

Every time I sit in front of my desktop to create a blog I always pray and ask God what will He like for me to write.  I refused to believe that this is done under my power.  That these posts are coming from me.  I know they are not because when I read them weeks or months later I am in awe.  I am truly God's vessel, His humble servant.

Today He gives me the title US!
To embrace our differences, to love on each other, hugging, touching, smiling, listening, teaching.  Any word that we can think that will mean togetherness.  God commands us to love another and provides many ways that we can show love, we can give love.  No man is an island no man stands alone, we need each other.  There is no getting away from that.
From the moment we are born, we respond  to the touch of another. and until we die, we crave the touch of another.

When God said that it is not good for a man to be alone and He created woman, our need for each was craved in stone.  Do not deny anyone of such an important part of our being.  Reach out to give love and receive love when it is given.

Birth!

Hey everyone,

As I was writing my book, Honey Flowers, I knew I had to share in every possible way I can to help someone know that there is a God who knows all and will receive them with open arms.  From the time my book was published in June 2012, I have been nudged to go forward.  I have gone forward on all roads that seem easy, but there is one road that now in February 2013, almost a year since my book publication that I have now become bold enough to go forward on.  I know that God got my back in everything He ask me to do but we are sometimes slow in obeying Him.  When He wants you to do something, He will nudge you until you do it.  So NOW I am being obedient again. If you read my earlier blogs, you will remember that God said that He gave me time.  Time to do all that He called me to do.  My 24/7-365 belongs to Him.  So here I am Lord, Your child ready to do ALL that You call me to do.
Forgive me for being slow to answer and thank You for being a patient Father, Amen!

a vision, step by step

working out a plan

preparation, putting it all together

finished product

staying with it even when you stand alone

its a process, without the vision, the planning and  preparation there will not be a finished product. Then after all that, keep on working at it to keep it alive.  You have to feed it so that it lives.

Out of the box!

Hey everyone,

If you are bursting at the seams, you have so much to say then there is work for you to do.
You say you are answering the call on your life, great.  If you honestly believe that God called you, you know that you know that you are following the path that He has laid out for you but things are changing.  Then you need to change with it.  You are bursting, God is saying lets go, there is more to do.
step on out, God got u!
take the unfamiliar road, God got u!
God got u!

train others and go forward

lead out of the box and others will follow 



 DON'T BOX GOD IN! YOU SERVE A BIG GOD! THERE IS WORK TO DO!

There should be no fear!  He was there with you when you answered and He will be with you when you go forward.  He is calling you to go forward.  He is closing and opening doors.  There is a season and a reason for all His purposes.

Pride aside!

Hey everyone,

As my previous blog states, we are called to stand out, to stand strong.  After all in Philippians 4:13 says we can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us, in Hebrews 13:5  God says that He will never leave us nor forsake us and in Psalm 23:4 says when we are in the valley, God walks with us, His rod and His staff comfort us. 
Standing strong knowing that God will do what He says He will do! 


Praying continually!
Standing strong, pressing through but sometimes even though you are praying, trusting, you can crush and burn.  Faith in God is a powerful thing.  When Job's moments come, one after the other, you stand through one, you stand through two, you stand through three and then you start to scream.
 I honestly believe that if you don't reach out  to someone you will crush and burn. You need flesh and blood also if only to pray for you.
                                    
But we must not forget those that God put in our lives to help build us up, to nurture us.  We are not the only ones He uses.  He uses all who are willing. So lets us embrace ALL the help He provides!
If you are someone who is always encouraging others, always lifting up others it becomes very hard to admit that you need encouraging too, you need lifting up too.  I have to say its pride.  Proverbs 16:18 says that pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall, you can spiral out of control. Reach out! Give others the opportunity to encourage and lift you up!

SET APART!!!

Hey everyone,
Happy New Year 2013!!
Happy 52yrs birthday to me!!!  I thank God for considering me important enough to keep me here!  He has a purpose for my life and I know I am set apart!  Why?  Because of God's plan for my life and me embracing the path God set out for me!

When you are set apart you must not conform to this world but you must be transform by the renewing of your mind. You are chosen by God for special service.  Jesus called you out of darkness into His marvelous light because He not only has work for you to do but that He loves you and seek a relationship with you. You must stand out and accept the fact that you are set apart. 

Once you realize that God has called you unto Himself, study His Word so that you can show yourself approved or knowledgeable, that you will hide His word in your heart that you might not sin against Him, and that you will be prepared to teach by being a living example of God's plan.  We are called to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Just like Jeremiah,He set us apart before we were formed in the womb.  Sometimes we take the long road but God patiently waits for us because He knows the plans He has for us.


like this pineapple, don't be afraid to stand tall.  God called you to stand out

like this apple you might be the same size but you must shine brighter

like this umbrella, don't just open yourself up, burst on the scene like no other 

Allow God to use you! 
Matthew 5:16 -  "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

God show Your awesomeness through me!

God's Favor!!!!

Hey everyone,

I launched my website, www.joggingpoet.weebly.com last night and  I am so excited about it.
It is another tool that I can use to reach out.  Another tool to encourage others and help advance God's Kingdom.  It will also make it easier to purchase my books, Smoothies For The Soul and Honey Flowers.  These two books are also tools that will bless those who will allow themselves to receive.

I want to speak about about God's Favor!  How God will bless us, how He will put us in that place where we not only say that He is in control and is able but where we KNOW that He is because we have experienced His power.

Trusting Him and believing His every Word will shower His favor on us.  
Romans 8:28 says, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.

Because I have allow God to be first in my life, He has given me a life that I would never have dreamt about.  He have given me that abundant life that Jesus spoke about.  Job 10:12 says, Tho hast granted me life and favor, and Thy visitation hast preserve my spirit.

So now that I have relinquish my everything to God, He is smiling on me and my house with His awesome favor so I am now:
Calmness, knowing that God got me!!

Peace in midst of; calm waters among the rocks and overcast branches. 

  Psalm 5;12 says For surely, O Lord, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a shield.


Resting because I know that God knows what He is doing!!
