Change

Every week I talk to a class about change. Change is good for us. Although we may not like it it will happen. It is all a part of life. With change we get growth. That growth gives us experience. The experiences give us wisdom. With that being said...I now have to eat my own words and deal with change. It is a tough pill to swallow but in the end it will be good for me. Staying focused on what God has called me to do and not on the ones around me. Thank you God for the patience you have dealt with me to see this in me. It is not about me but it is You that the people must see in me. The continued revelation of Your Word is and had been great. In ministry we must study to show ourselves approved and rightly divide the Word of Truth. I must stay focused on Jesus. If not. ..I will sink like Peter by looking at the things trying to distract me from getting or reaching my goal...to please God not man!

Each Day

Everyday is easier. The more I begin to get back in the Word of God, He makes life that much easier.  The murmuring and complaining of folks does not matter. One must see the entire picture. God is the ultimate source. Someone told me recently. .."you are not perfect." Not saying that I thought I was but it really sunk deep within. We as humans make mistakes and when we do, we must deal with them. It does not matter what the mistake(s) may have been. Forgive yourself, forgive the person, and move on. Listening to several sermons by Bishop TD Jakes and they have spoken to my spirit man and not the carnal man. Thanking God for each day and the new mercies!

Confession Is Good

Everyone does not confess things they have done in his or her past. According to the Word of God, confession is good for the soul. It goes along with forgiveness. In order for God to forgive us, we must forgive those who have wronged us. Forgiveness is not easy and I do believe it is a process for some but not all. The individual may be hurt and numb but time heals all wounds. Love covers a multitude of sins. Do waste time and forgive the person (s) who may have something against you or have done something to you. Holding on to it will only drag you down. It will be like some kind of cancer eating away at your body. Pray and ask God to help you with this if this is an issue for you. God Bless!

Transition Period

Transition in our lives is important. We may or may not understand why but God knows. Things happen and we ask why! Going through this phase can only assist us with the purpose God has in plan for us. The things we go through is not necessarily for us, but for us to minister to others who have gone through similar situations. I will leave it in the trustworthy hands of God. He has my best interest. Thanking Him in advance for what is to come. In the end He will get all the glory for it.

Our Minds

If we are not careful many different thoughts can enter into our minds. The thoughts I am talking about are those that will take you away from the norm. The horrible thoughts that will have you wondering if you are sane or insane. We must continue to pray to God for guidance. Our minds must be renewed on a daily basis. Denying ourselves daily. Taking up or crosses. Following Jesus! Reliance on the Word of God is crucial. Repentance to Him and asking for forgiveness is a must. He is forgiving and if we all seek Him we will be rewarded according to His Word.

Life Lessons

Life is truly amazing. From day to day we have life changes. Some are good and others are bad. We never know how our day will go. People come into our lives and can change the outcome of the day in just a few minutes. Out reactions and responses to certain situations can either make or break us. If we do not respond and handle the circumstance right, without at attitude,  it really could ruin the day. One way is to take a step back and refocus on it. Once you have gathered your thoughts and wits about yourself....move on. Remember we cannot control what people may say to you but you can control your reaction. Do the right thing and be positive!

Transition

Transition can mean many different things. One can transition from life to death. Meaning that he or she has passed.  No more life in the human body but he or she is hopefully in heaven.

There is also a transition from one job to another job. One has to adjust to new surroundings, new people, and new ways of doing things. If this change comes in your life you will have to accept the change and make the best of it. The choice is yours to make.
