Rest if you must but Don't Quit!

Image
Karnark Temples When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must but don't quit. Life is strange with its twists and turns As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow- You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a fair and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup, And he learned too late when night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so afar, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's wh...

10 Ways to Say No and Be Nice

Image
A well-placed "No" can not only save you time and trouble. It can save your life: to anything that is hurting you, to standards that no longer serve you, to people who drain you of your creativity and expression, to beliefs that are not true to the real you. How many times have you heard yourself saying yes to the wrong things: overwhelming requests, bad relationships, time-consuming obligations? Good things can happen to you when you learn to say no.   When you protect yourself from the people and situations that will hurt you. When you shield yourself from the stories and myths your colleagues, friends, family and institutions use to control you. When you finally say no to the inner conditioning and psychology that your brain forces on you in its misguided attempts to protect you. Here are ten ways to say no and be nice: 1) Let me think about that. 2) Here's what will work for me. 3) Can I get back to you. 4) That doesn't work for...

Decree and Declare - Commanding Your Morning

 Father, in the name of Jesus, I decree and declare: That my spirit man is clad with the armor of the Lord and the armor of light. That Your kingdom is my priority and Your assignment is my pleasure. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done on the earth as it is in heaven. I function and conduct my life’s affairs according to Your original plan and purpose for me. I walk in Your timing. You are the one and true God, who makes everything work together and who works all things for good through Your most excellent harmonies. Cause my will to work in perfect harmony with Yours. Evil shall not come near my dwelling, since I dwell in the secret place of the Most High God and dwell under the shadow of the Almighty. I cause demonic, destiny-altering activities to cease. I take hold of the ends of the earth and shake evil out of its place. I break evil and inappropriate thought patterns in my mind. I speak peace into my life, relationships, ministry, work [1] place, and...

Loyalty is Rare....

Image
"If you cheat on someone who is willing to do anything for you, You actually cheated yourself out of true loyalty" Never settle for people with such behavior.  It's either they step up or step out. It's easy to convince ourselves that we should keep our expectations  and standards low to avoid getting hurt or let down.   It's easy to look in the mirror and see all our flaws and imperfections.  It's easy to make excuses and live with the disappointment rather than to leave. When you care about a person,  you see them in a way that is often inaccurate.  Sometimes what and who we think a person is  doesn't match up who they are in reality.  It's easy to put on rose-colored glasses when we love someone. "I can be changed by what happens to me.  But I refuse to be reduced by it" Nothing inspires the heart the most other than allegiance Faithfullness, fidelity, obedience, homage, respect, dev...

I have been meaning to write this post for a while now....sorry! I have been taking forever. Someone complimented me the other day, saying everything that I wear is classic or better still, I don't do too much, over the top, but I still look my best by sticking to the simple rules of being a minimalist. Here are ten minimalist ways of keeping it "fresh" and "all together". Enjoy! A Crisp White Shirt -  There is nothing in the realm of style that pummels a fresh catch white shirt. For a considerable length of time, they have been a standout amongst the most imperative closet essentials any lady or man can claim. Whether you match it with a couple of pants or a skirt, there is actually nothing a white shirt can't accomplish for you. Simply ensure it is pressed and worn with a beautiful bracelet. A Black Blazer - In the event that there is one thing that will stay with you, through various challenges and make you look awesome all through, it...

Standing on the Rock

Image
Today I speak over my life and over my household that God will remember His promises to us and fulfill all His words towards me. I will not be shaken, though the mountains may not be removed. I stand on the power of His word; He is the Lord my God. I shall not fear anything. God is faithful, and I abide in Him. I trust in the Lord my God. He is the rock of my salvation and my fortress. I run into the mighty Fortress that is my God. I will not see shame. I have light by the strength of His word. In His light, I see light. Darkness is dispelled, and frustration is turned around. I have received mercy and great grace. His loving kindness has found me, and I am restored accordingly to the goodness of His love. He has declared it and I have it. In Jesus name, I believe and say, Amen. Psalm 61:2 - From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 71:3 - Be thou my strong habitation, where unto I may continually resor...
