Put Your Armor On

"When you embrace your value and God-ordained purpose in life, you will be able to walk in strength and confidence."

Remember: "The enemy will take notice of a person once riddled with insecurity standing strong, and he will come at you like a thief in the night with his arrows of discouragement to break you."

God's word says: put on the full armor of God to protect yourself from dangers and attacks. This armor is a conscious outlook training our thoughts, our words, our attitudes and our behaviors. 

Mediate on my word day and night, let it always be with you - for it is your most powerful weapon. 

God loved you so much, He made provision to keep you safe. He never said the road would be easy, He said no weapon formed against you will prosper/succeed. He said pain will endure for a little while but joy, joy will always comeback!

Be Still

Be Still...? What exactly does that mean or even look like? As many times as we hear that simple phrase...I always failed to grasp the concept until I needed to apply it.  Be Still in the English dictionary can mean not moving, and being quiet. But from a spiritual perspective, these two words take on so much of a greater meaning. Imagine a busy day of hustling and busting to get through that to do list...attempting that last minute cramming to get all that work done. It's overwhelming and exhausting. At that point, you're probably looking for an escape route just to catch your breath. Be Still!  What I've neglected to realize is that the work, the demands, expectations and needs of everyone will always be there but I won't always be there yet somehow, it will all still get done. Therefore, I have to ensure that I myself make time to rest, not be the decision maker, the fixer, or the go to person.  How in the world do I do that?  It's never easy t

Plus, tomatoes contain high amounts of potassium, fiber, and vitamin C.   o   Blueberries These berries are full of phytonutrients that neutralize free radicals (agents that cause aging and cell damage). The antioxidants in these berries may also protect against cancer and reduce the effects of age-related conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia. o   Black Beans A cup of black beans packs 15 grams of protein, with none of the artery-clogging saturated fat found in meat. Plus, they're full of heart-healthy fiber, antioxidants, and energy-boosting iron. o   Oats Full of fiber, oats are a rich source of magnesium, potassium, and phytonutrients. They contain a special type of fiber that helps to lower cholesterol and prevent heart disease. Magnesium work

About This Thing Called Feelings

Image
Do you ever notice that when you're in a good mood or spirits everything seems perfect and bright? However, when you're not in a good mood, everything gets on your nerves, drives you mad, and becomes annoying?    That's because our feelings tend to affect our attitude.  Emotions that are freely experienced and expressed without judgment or attachment tend to flow fluidly. On the other hand, repressed emotions (especially fearful or negative ones) can zap mental energy and hope and lead to health problems.  Therefore, it's important for us to recognize and identify our thoughts and emotions, and to be aware of the impact they have not only on each other, but also on our bodies, behavior, and relationships. As our awareness increases, we can find it easier to recognize what we are thinking, how we are feeling, and our attitude towards the experience. This can then help us choose to adjust our thoughts and emotional responses. Is it easy to always remain p
