It feels good to be back from my 21 day break, though I must admit that the break felt good.  We don’t realize how weighed down we are until we let some things go and clear our space. For the past 21 days I have let go of the ‘world’ in a sense, only participating in what’s necessary: work, school, church, parenting, etc.  My phone time was limited and then I completely cut out Facebook.  I feel good. I think we’d all be surprised at how much energy we give to things that truly don’t matter.  Simply put: we waste a lot of time doing nothing.  We can all benefit…

Where have I been???  Let me explain.. I’m taking some time to slow down, and even stop doing some things.  I want to start the New Year doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing.  I want to be in align with my source- God. I’m starting to learn that the more I slow down and let Him lead me the more effective I am.  This year I want to be effective in everything I do- including writing for my site.  I want to ensure that I’m in tune with my Creator and my purpose.  I want to write what I’m supposed to write, not what will give me the…

It’s amazing how even as Christians our personalities can be an obstacle.  We pray to be Spirit-led, but our personalities oppose that.  Understanding our personality type plays a huge role in walking like Christ. This morning I woke up thinking about how I’ve recently handled a situation.  A particular book came to mind that a church sister gave to me.  It’s titled: “The Spirit-Controlled Woman” by Beverly LaHaye.  An AMAZING read!  It focuses on the different personality types and how they contribute to or undermine us being Spirit-led.  I grabbed it off my book shelf and spent some time reading it this morning. My personality type is a choleric.  I love…

We all have those people that are always there, that understand us, forgive us, accept us.  Everyone will not get us so we must be thankful for those that do. We’ll also have those that easily misunderstand us, nor do they forgive us.  They may not even allow us the opportunity to express ourselves. Some people want us to be something we’re not.  Some even think we are something we’re not. Sometimes we are exactly who they say we are, sometimes we’re not. We have to be thankful for those people that get us, understand us, accept us. We’re all imperfect creatures, yet we’re not always accepted. We have to…

Oh my goodness!  This book is amazing!  I am an avid reader, but some books are superior to others!  This book is definitely above average: “9 Things You Simply MUST DO to SUCCEED in LOVE and LIFE” by Dr. Henry Cloud. It has me in awe!  It’s made me cry, stop to digest the information, and practically tell everyone in conversation about how good it is!  Yes it’s that good!  A few key points: – Those who succeed in life cannot ignore their hearts, minds, and souls. – Take appropriate risks.  There is very little growth and reward in life without taking risks.  Avoidance of risk is the greatest risk of…
