God's favor

Woke up this morning feeling great about life. What I'm being more cautious of is that every day brings on new challenges and I must live in the moment of what is happening in the then and now. One Author said it so clearly "living in the Is-ness". Most people would debate that saying 'Is-ness' and 'It is what it is', is the same thing.

When I say the Is-ness, I think about just enjoying the moment and when I say 'It is what it is', in my mind I'm saying I don't care about anything and lets just let it ride.

I don't want to be in a place where I'm not caring anymore so this is why I'm being more cautious of my wording. I want to be transformed into a place that says I've made it no matter what is going on around me. Pushing forward toward my goals and ambitions..I had to pause there for a minute because I do have goals and ambitions and it doesn't matter who supports me in this, it will manifest itself in the flesh.

You see my goals and ambitions have already manifested in the spiritual realm, I just need to allow them to come forth in the natural. I speak blessings on my life anything contrary to this must be put to an hault. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. The bible tells us to watch and pray..Not just pray..we must be watchful of others and the vibes they bring to the table...We are all human so don't think you are an exception to the rule of engagement. You will find yourself strung out and I'm not talking about drugs...The enemy come with everything he/she can think of.

But good news to all of this is that we have a weapon that is much greater than our enemy's. It's just sitting on the shelf and now it is time to take it a use it for the good. To put in more on the earthly side, if there was one-million dollars sitting on a table in the middle of the room and all you had to do was take the sledge hammer you've been provided and make your way through the tables, this would be a no brainer...All your troubles are over..well at least for that moment.

This is the same way we must think when faced with things or giants that get in our way of reaching our goal. We must plow through depression, loneliness, feeling inadequate and unworthy. I can reach my goals because my Lord told me so. My God has given me the right tools to make it, I just need to realize that and use them.

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. God didn't leave anything out and this is why I now understand why people who don't even follow Christ can do things beyond the norm, because this is a basic principle of life...God made man ruler over the earth and the bible is a historical book and it has proven itself even to non-believers. After all, EVERYBODY, knows the story of Adam and Eve.

Peace be to all who reads this...

CHALLENGE

Being challenged is a good thing, because if we are not challenged we will not know what our capabilities are. No profound words of mine the phrase just fit so perfectly in my life.

Stepping up to challenge to be the best at what you do on your job, with your family, and your social life. When I read others blogs, I sometimes think 'I would never be able to blog like this'. Then I get another thought 'Let's take on the challenge'.

I'm currently taking on the challenge of writing down my thoughts. Transforming from mind to pen. The most challenging question is, 'How do I do this in an effective way that will keep the wondering bloggers interested'?

Well, I guess the only way to find out is by getting constructive critiques from those who read what I am putting to the paper.

Should I strive to blog about every emotion imaginable or would this create a roller coaster effect that I'm trying so desperately to get away from? Being transparent is sometimes the hardest thing to do; However, when you take the approach of understanding that there are people who may be going through things that only a person with intuition can recognize and speak out about it, it makes all the sense in the world to be transparent

The question still remains 'Am I up for the challenge'?

To be blogging........

Living life to its fullest.

I sometimes ask myself, why do I care what people think of me? Life is pretty much what you make of it, so why not live to the fullest. Why does it matter what people think, this is my life and if I want to start getting crazy with it. Hey what the h@ll.

I'm free to love and be loved, I shouldn't deny myself of this because of my fear of pleasing others. F@# what you think, I want to be liberated..

Why does Church Exist?

woke up this morning feeling a little crappy. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a typical Sunday Morning for me. I try to shake the feelings by working out before 8am and reading my bible while drinking on some orange juice.

Then I remembered that I feel better when I write so here I am blogging. I normally journal using 'Word' so this is all new to me. Not sure if anyone will be able to read what I'm putting down.

Some may ask, 'Why do I feel so crappy on Sunday mornings'? You think it would be the trick of the enemy, but I refuse to give the devil that much credit.

I have a real issue with God and the cards I have been dealt and it is hard for me to fake the funk.

Lets establish some points up front, I don't hate God because I'm not a hater. I just have an issue that requires some real heart to heart dealing with. I need a change of heart about my life and where I am positioned. TD Jakes talks about 'repositioning yourself' and I think I'm repositioning on a backward slop instead of forward. I constantly ask myself is this the way life goes or am I doing something wrong.

I feel as though God has turned his back on me and going to church right now and being around people that I don't care to see, just does not make these feelings go away. The question always come up. What is the point of church, what can be said to me that I have not already heard?

I'm very intuned to what I'm searching for; however, I don't know what avenue to take to get there. So I guess, I'm not disappointed in God, just the church and their approach to preach me happy (happy> a temporary emotion that changes with circumstance) instead of clear direction and how to stay emotionally healthy. Can the church teach this or does it come from spending time with God doing your personal quiet time? The latter has always worked for me and church was just a place to have fun, UNLESS you are connected with people who understands the meaning of the term SHEPARD & SHEEP.

So I ask the question again. What is the purpose of the church? Corporate worship? Is it true worship that you get?

More often than not the church has no clue of things that really goes on with people and you leave feeling empty as before, so it has to be much more to this picture. What's the bigger picture here?
