Pause and Let God Sort It All Out

This morning had an unexpected realization. 


Jeff posted on his Facebook wall a little video about revisiting your why's and how he would keep a notebook to keep him on track of why it's important for him to stay on track with his fitness goals. 


That was a good reminder for me to do the same.


I’ve been getting ahead of myself lately in the mornings and starting my day with “business” instead of starting each day in Scripture.


This morning I got really carried away in my own workings and in my own doing and did not take the time I need to devote to myself.  I honestly found myself getting really busy with answering messages, making posts and getting pulled in several directions before grounding myself in God’s word.


Unfortunately, for me, this process does not work for me.  In the long run, I find myself drifting further and further way from God when I do this and along with that comes a lot of anxiety, doubt and fear.


I noticed this happening this morning as I was already filled with lots of anxiety and doubts of my  business and found myself asking myself questions like…


“What should I do next and Where am I going?  Am I doing the right things?  Is this working?


I had all these different thoughts in a matter of seconds and I felt them paralyzing me?


So when I finally took my time out to reconnect with God and gave this day back to him like I should do each and every day, I was quickly reminded to Listen to God even though I'm listening to other people. 


For example, if I'm taking in questions from people or I'm listening to a message from friends like Jeff, I should pause Before respond. 


I should come to God with everything and allow the Holy Spirit to speak through me.  In this way, I align myself with His Will in His Way. 


Even though I have experience, even though I have opinions, even though I have stories that I could share with others, I’m not always the best to articulate those thoughts and feelings and if I’m being honest, I tend to speak from ego.


But, when I have the power of the Holy Spirit flowing through me, I know that I serve people better because I feel it is God who is speaking through me to deliver His message to them.  


And so today I'm reminded to revisit my why’s and my purpose.  


I am not just writing down what I want but I am also praying on everything, seeking God's advice, seeking God's wisdom, and seeking God's way in everything that I do. 


And he will line me up in His Will and His Way And give me the clear direction and a path that I need to follow, and all of my questions, fears and doubts will be taken care of for me.

Powerful Walk With God Moment

I was simply reminded today that when we don't understand things or when we're always trying to seek answers or we're always trying to make sure that we're on the right path with God...⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It's a sign that we are not at Peace or even Strong in our Faith ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In times of frustration or need we often times want a sign or more understanding or perhaps even a direct answer to make sure that we're on the right track and that we're doing the things we're supposed to be doing.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Well, I had this revelation where instead of seeking understanding, instead of seeking answers, and instead of questioning whether or not I’m on the right path, 𝐈 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝘐𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Am I at peace with the future? ⁣⁣ Am I at peace with the present? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ You see, I know that when I’m at a place of peace an...

My Story

From a very young age I was brought up in a Christian home by two strong Christian parents. We went to Church twice a week, every Sunday morning and again on Wednesday nights. Dad was a Deacon of the church I was raised in and Mom volunteered everywhere she could from the nursery to the kitchen to teaching Sunday school lessons to the kids. I was Baptized at the age of 13 I was heavily involved in the Youth Group and would testify God's Word   I was strong in my beliefs, morals and Faith. I was even married in that same church. But somewhere along the way I "outgrew" my religion. I became arrogant and selfish. I thought I was being held back and robbed of opportunities in my life. I started to drift in my own ways and the more I got away from the principles that was taught to me, the further I got caught up in my own self righteous beliefs. At this time I was living the life of "success" I had the big house   I had my family   I had money coming in I had the ath...

Welcome To Salvation Strength

For years I struggled with negative self worth, anger, resentment, and a victim mindset that eventually lead to a suicide attempt that landed me in handcuffs and a stay in the hospital. The whole notion of "Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life," never worked for me... I simply could not replace negative thoughts with new positive ones or "Man Up," ... as some would say. It wasn't until I learned about what was really going on deep within me that I started to learn about my self destructive nature and "stories" I had about myself and others. Working with a personal development coach I soon learned new strategies to help me recognize and cope with the patterns that kept me trapped in my own prison for so long. Today, even though I still struggle at times with depression and anxiety, I have found my inner peace and I no longer have the will or urge to end it all. It is my life's mission to show others how you too can overcome: Hopelessness Lost Inter...
