Fill Your Cloud

It's been quite some time since I have posted here on the blog. I have seen a lot and learned alot since beginning this journey with you. One lesson I have learned and would love to share with you is the act of filling up your cloud.

When you think about a cloud in the sky, it starts off as small. As it fills with condensation, it gets larger and larger. Eventually it begins to get full and starts to drip water. This is the rain that we don't see. Some call it fog or may be morning dew. But then, once that cloud can't take any more water, it will burst.

Think of your praise could the same way. The more you send up praises and show your appreciation for everything in your life, the more your cloud will begin to fill up with blessings. Eventually, your clould will get full and your blessings will begin to drip. Keep sending up praises, thanksgiving, good vibes, faith, hope, and even love. Your cloud will soon become so full that it will have to burst, releasing abundant blessings upon you. What a wonderful feeling.

After all is done, start filling up your cloud again. You can't loose, you won't fail. Just keep trying.

If you are religious, send up praise and thanksgiving to the lord. If you are spiritual, send up good vibes and positivity. If you are just trying to make it day to day, you too can be grateful for all that you have.

I'm filling up my cloud. Are you filling yours?

Be Blessed!

You're Almost There...

Have you come to a point in your life where it seems like your world has turned upside down? Everything appears to be going wrong? Maybe you have thoughts of giving up.

Don't allow the pressures of life to get you down. When you are about to walk into your blessing or your breakthrough, these will be trying times. Your faith will be tested, will you pass the test? Don't doubt God, don't give up or give in. It's easy to say, I know. However, don't allow your sorrow to keep you down. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, send up a prayer, a praise, and encourage yourself. You can do it, you can get through this thing. You may have to shed a tear, but then wipe them and prove to yourself that this is one test you will not fail. Always remember, you can't receive a blessing that you aren't ready for. He has them waiting for us, but we must prove that we can be trusted with what he has.

Remind yourself that he won't put more on you than you can bear. Speak life, blessings, healings to yourself. When you feel like crying, remember that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. He is only a prayer a way. Tell him what's going on, tell him how you feel, and trust me he will take the pain away.

Don't give up, you are almost there. Hold on and visualize reaching your break through. You can do it!

Be Blessed!

Dare to Dream!

As children, everyone has a dream. At school, the teacher will often ask, "what do you want to be when you grow up?". Can you remember what your dream was? Over the years, our dreams and goals change and develop. God has placed a dream in the hearts of each and every one of his children. He has created us with the talents and abilities that we will need to make our dreams a reality. Can we do it on our own? Sometimes we can, however to remain successful and sometimes to achieve the dream, we need help that only the father can provide.

Take a minute and think about the dream you have. Some of us will have to dig deep to uncover it. Now ask yourself why you gave up on that dream. Could it be out of fear, doubt, lack of knowledge, lack of connections, or maybe lack of motivation? You have a dream for a reason. God wants to restore the desire to fulfill the dream you were destined for. He has the right people, the money, all the means that you need to bring it to reality. However, you must have faith in him and in yourself. He wants you to succeed. He loves you so much that he mapped out the plan before you were created. The question is will you allow him to work in your life? Do you want to experience all that he has waiting for you? You must exercise your faith and trust him to bring it all together for your good.

This process is not an easy one and will come with trials. However, be careful not to allow your emotions get in the way and cause you to give up or make decisions that are out of his will. A drop of fear can turn into something that will hinder you. It will make you see and think things that do not exist and therefore miss your blessing. Seek him for guidance through prayer and have faith that he will answer them. The outcome will knock your socks off. He can turn your enemies into your footstool. He can cause the very person that said you would never make it to push someone valuable into your life.

Remember, someone is depending on your dream. If you want to own a store, your potential shoppers are depending on you. If you want to be a doctor, there is a patient that needs your care. Don't give up on your dream. He said he wouldn't put more on us than we can bare. If he gave you the dream, then the obstacles you will have to face to achieve it won't be more than you can handle.

With God all things are possible!


Be Blessed!

Faith!

"Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
John 20:29 NKJV

Have you ever reached a point in your life where you felt like giving up? Maybe you have been going through trials that leave you feeling like there is no hope. You aren't alone.

Faith is a short word, yet it is extremely strong. It's so easy to tell someone to have faith or believe, yet it's so hard to maintain faith. After a while, as humans we want to give up. Life isn't easy. It comes with many ups and downs. Our life challenges are to make us better people. Some come along to prepare us for the level that we are heading toward. If we loose faith and give up, we can miss the opportunity to experience something greater, something better, a dream come true.

Lets practice the act of Faith. When times get rough, believe that there is still hope. Send up a prayer and I promise you it will be heard. Although every trial doesn't end quickly, they all must come to an end. So don't give up. Believe in the thing you cannot see, which is that your storm will pass. Have faith that your prayers will be heard and you will reap the blessing in the end.

Be Blessed!

The Inner You... Can You Hear It?

There is a still small voice that lives in each of us. It is there to guide us and help us not to make regrettable mistakes. It can improve our lives if we let it. What is this voice? Some call it a conscious, I call it the "inner me".

Often we are so engulfed with the different things we are experiencing throughout the day that we don't hear the voice or we don't take the time to acknowledge it when it speaks. How many times have we missed out on a blessing, because we didn't take heed to the voice? Ok, so some of us are in denial. How about this... how many times did you get locked out of your house or car, because "something told you to grab the keys" but you didn't? It happens more often than not.

Lets not confuse this small voice with the evil one that tells you to slap the lady that won't tell her child to stop screaming. This is not the voice that tells you to do to treat others badly. This is the quiet voice that calms you when you are mad, comforts you when you are sad, hugs you when you're all alone, that makes you feel like it can be trusted. This is the voice that always has something positive in store for you.

Remember, this voice would never ask you to hurt anyone or yourself. Always treat others the way you would like to be treated. I challenge you to pay attention when your inner you speaks, you just may experience something new.

Be blessed!

Stop It!

The first time I heard my coworker sternly say "stop it" to another coworker, I cracked up laughing on the inside. Have you ever heard a mother or father say those words to a child that was acting out of character?

Today when you go through your day and someone cuts you off in traffic, before you yell at them (you know they can't hear you anyway) or cuss under your breath (you got caught, LOL) I want you to say these words to yourself... "Stop It!"

The next time you feel like acting out of character (because I know you are a loving person), tell yourself "Stop It!"

Why should you do this? Why not just release your feelings? Well, because you don't know what people are going through. Sometimes we do things without realizing the impact it will have on someone else. How would you feel if the person in the car you gave the finger to pulled over and began apologize. During the apology they began to cry while telling you they were on their way to visit a dying loved one who may not make it through the day, how would you feel?

It is true that some people do things with the wrong intentions, but until you know this is the case, lets give each other the benefit of the doubt. Lets have the forgiving heart of a small child.

It's the first step in having a better day. Tell yourself "Stop It!"

Be Blessed!

Welcome to my blog...

I have decided to create this blog after it was laid on my heart. It was an idea that I couldn't shake no matter how hard I tried. So many of us had problems before the economy went into distress and now things appear to have gotten out of control. Our lives get more complicated everyday.

This blog is to encourage you, to lift you up and to provide you with words of Love, Hope, Joy, or whatever you may need to help you push passed the obstacle life has thrown your way.

Be Blessed!
