Here Comes the Sun


 
We all need a champion in our life who is willing to fight for us; A person who is there to help lift you up when you’re feeling down. You need a person who is willing to listen to your heartaches. We all need someone in our lives that will be there to tell you how great you are and remind you of how much you have to offer. It’s important to have a support team. If you don’t have a champion of hope in your life, turn to God. Let God be your champion. Read the bible and learn what good things God has to say about you. It’s even more important to recognize that you can be that person to someone in your life! Be kind to the people around you…you might just be the only ray of sunshine they see that day.

Just enjoy.
Enjoy today!

The Keys To…

 
Want the keys to success?
Okay, good…then keep reading!
Change can happen if you want it, however, don’t seek change in others…seek it in yourself!
Whatever change it is that you wish to have, you can have it by doing two things. Yes, I will give you the keys to change!
The first key is prayer.
Go to God in prayer and ask HIM to help you change in the area in which you struggle with. This key is most important because God wants to be involved with everything in your life. Everything! God wants to help you, and HE has the ability to heal and restore you in wondrous ways. If you try to change yourself all on your own, in your own strength, in your own ability, it will surely drain and exhaust you. Self-mastering will leave you frustrated, so invite God in to help you.
The second key to seeing change in your life is study.
Yes, study. Once you invite God into your situation, start to study. For example, if you want to see change in a relationship and you know that it will require some forgiveness, first, go to God and ask that your heart opens up for forgiveness; then start to do some research (study time) on forgiveness. You might want to find a good book that deals with forgiveness, you might want to look up scripture about forgiveness and mediate on those scriptures. Maybe you could talk to a trusted member of your church or bible study group about the importance of forgiveness.
Whatever holds you back, whatever you struggle with, whatever area you want to be better at and come up higher in, follow these instructions; take these keys and unlock yourself!

Scripture Sunday

 
Philippians 3:10
 
10 “For my determined purpose is that I may know Him that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly, and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection (which it exerts over believers)…”

Quote & Thought



"It is necessary to try to surpass oneself always; this occupation ought to last as long as life."

~ Queen Christina




Stop being so hard on yourself. Don’t try to be in competition with others and stop putting so much pressure on yourself to live up to a certain expectation; either an expectation you have put on yourself or an expectation influenced by someone else.
 
This quote seems to read that we are to always grow, but at our own pace. Keep growing so that you see yourself evolve little by little all the time, with efforts on your part to keep stretching, keep hoping, learning, and wanting to seek change so you can be the best you, you can be. This seeking improvement is you occupation, and it should be something that you never retire from.

Forward Friday


Friday is a day of passing along kindness; paying forward an act of kindness is the goal. Show someone today that you are willing to help them. We all need kindness, not just on Friday, but let’s make today something special by pulling our efforts together to display kindness to the world…what better way to start off the weekend!!!

Stop & Smell the Roses


 
I purposely take in a long deep breath, hold for a second or two; with the same intention as the first, I end with a long exhale. It is time to notice the perfume in the air. The aroma that I detect does not come from a manufactured bottle that I sprayed on my wrists or dabbed behind my ears. No. What I smell is something the creator made. I sit back to relax. I take in my surroundings with a smile on my face knowing that the perfect moment isn’t always produced through elaborate events; rather they are in this very moment. All is alright. I can stop and appreciate the joy, even in doing something as simply nothing. For it is time to purposely stop and smell the roses.
