Your Battle

The Real Battle is our mind and the thoughts that consume it and us.

To find peace, we must replace our fears, anxieties, defense mechanisms, and controlling behaviors with prayer, Scripture meditation, and thanksgiving.

As easy as this sounds, it holds so much challenge because our flesh is weak and easily influenced by our surroundings and society.

Our brains will not stop thinking about something just because we tell it to.

Image result for your mindOur minds are like computers, they process what is downloaded into them. So, if we don’t replace our negative thinking and behaviors with something else, those anxious thoughts will just continue to play in our minds.

This will hinder us from achieving the levels God intended for us to. We will be held captive by the things that are not even relevant or of any true value today or down the road. We will lose out on relationships with those who truly care about us; God will raise someone else up to take up the charges that we haven't.

God and His word are intentional and deliberate, especially when He says: "choose for yourselves today who you will follow, serve and love... Me? My word? The world? Your flesh? Society? Social media? Your pride?" We get to choose. Make sure we choose right.


"I will supply all of your needs, let go, get focused..."

Knowing the porosity of your hair can make the journey that much easier for you. I did the hair porosity test; how do I care for my porosity type? Low porosity: This hair repels moisture when you try to wet it and hard to penetrate through. Tip: This hair is prone to build-up from protein-rich deep conditioning products, which can leave it feeling stiff and straw-like. Stick to protein-free, daily conditioners with humectants such as glycerin or honey. Use moderate heat with protein-free deep conditioning treatments to help open up the tightly bound cuticle. This hair requires moisturizers ric...

This Thing with Superfoods

Image
I keep reading that Superfoods are great for your body. Are they really?  Well, they are all natural and filled with many nutrients that our bodies crave but don’t receive. They in fact are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of goodness, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It turns out eating them may reduce the risk of chronic disease, and prolong life, and people who eat more of them are healthier and thinner than those who don't. So, they really are great for the body. As good as they are for us:  be wise and eat them in moderation.  Some top superfood add ins I found to be great adds to my smoothies: Chia Seeds These do-it-all super-seeds are good for your head with their high content of omega fatty acids that increase healthy brain function, but have also proven to be good for your heart by fighting high cholesterol and heart disease. They even boast a wide variety of nutrients, such as: protein, fiber, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, iron, c...
