Be to others what you want them to be to you...

A few years ago a close friend and I were talking and I was telling her how at that time I decided that I wanted to be the friend I want others to be to me. At that time I only used the "friend" context until I thought about it last week, what if I was to be the wife I want my husband to have and sow the seeds for him to be the husband I want him to be, what if I am the sister I want my sister to be to me, what if I am the confidant I want others to be to me?

So I have decided that within my sphere of influence that is exactly what I am going to do and it aligns with my vision for 2014 to walk in love at all times and let love be by motivation. What about you? Are there areas in your life that you know can do with some enrichment? I want to encourage you that today is as good a day as any to start paving a way for a better tomorrow for yourself and your families and friends around you.

What am I going to gain out of this:

1. I will be a better wife
2. I will be a better sister
3. I will be a better confidant
4. I will be a better person

Scripture tells us that what we sow we shall reap. So if you and I sow kindness, love, joy, peace, positivity that is exactly what we will receive however not in our time in God's time, we just have to be willing to walk in love and sow those seeds that we would love to receive. In the end it's entirely up to YOU & ME to make that change.

We are so used to...

We are so used to allowing our current circumstances consume us, we lament we groan and moan and we are often so confused as to what the next step must be that we should take. The groaning and moaning of How unfair this is, Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this? Etc and we find people to complain to but we do nothing about our situations. We then use our situations to fall in abuse of substances and we even turn to other things we never thought we were capable of…because we are so vulnerable and the enemy will use that vulnerability to his advantage. We worry about what this one is going to say. How is it going to look to others? I won’t be able to do this and that? My question to you is, can you afford not to walk away? These are the thoughts that keep us captive. In Hosea 4:6 God reminds us that my people perish through lack of knowledge. So surely when you know better you should do better, right? Look we are all at different spaces in our lives but ...

It's OKAY not be OKAY...

TODAY is one of those days I don't allow myself to have many of... A day where I am extremely emotional and teary and life seems to have gotten the better of me just for today. I don't tend to dwell on my negatives I am known to be the optimistic one and always positive however today I am far from that. I allow myself to be in this space because in this moments of being emotional and allowing myself to cry because they say tears are healing waters. I am very much aware of my surroundings and giving myself this space to just process every disappointment and whatever else I am dealing with. A close friend and mentor of mine told me a few months ago that I should learn to unpack things as they happen and not bottle it all up and then I explode when things just get too much. As a mother, wife and whatever else I am to whoever it all just got too much. Have you ever gotten to a point where you question "Why?" "Why do I even bother talking non stop with my k...

No one is always busy...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif...
