FALL IN LOVE

LIFE BEGINS AT THE END OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE, GET OUT OF THAT COMFORT ZONE. GROWTH IS GOOD. CHANGE IS HARD. 
Learn it, live it, love it.
Stop wasting time on people who don't deserve your attention. Time spent with people who care about you is priceless. One is allowed to terminate toxic relationships. 

 FALL IN LOVE WITH TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF. 
            

RECOGNIZE TACTICS

RECOGNIZE THAT FEAR IS A TACTIC TO KEEP ME STAGNANT. SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS BE WILLING TO PUSH THROUGH. 

FAITH IS TAKING A BLIND STEP, BUT KNOWING THAT THE LORD WILL BE THERE WHEN I LAND. 

JUDGMENT AND CONDEMNATION ARE FROM THE ENEMY AND ARE USED TO KEEP ONE FROM GOING DEEPER, ITS USED TO TURN ME AGAINST MY SELF AND USED AS A DISTRACTION SO I WON'T

 LOOK AT THE REAL ISSUES. 

HAVE TO USE DISCERNMENT TO DISTINGUISH WHO'S VOICE I AM HEARING, GODS OR THE ENEMY. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE VOICES OF JUDGMENT AND CONDEMNATION, THEY ARE NOT GOD.

DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING ONE THINKS. THE ENEMY TRIES TO DERAIL, HE WILL TRY TO BLOCK ONE IN ANYWAY HE CAN.

KNOWLEDGE / LEARNING

KNOWLEDGE IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS. DEPENDENCE ON THE TRUE COMFORTER, THE HOLY SPIRIT, GETTING IN HIS PRESENTS IN HIS POWER TO DISCOVER WHO I TRULY AM. I WILL ACQUIRE FREEDOM. TRANSFER MY DEPENDENCE FROM THE COUNTERFEIT COMFORTS AND THE TRUE COMFORTER THE HOLY SPIRIT. RUN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. DON'T BE MISLEAD, I HAVE TO DO MY PART. ITS CALLED WORKING ON MYSELF. I CAN'T GROW IF I'M NOT WILLING TO DO THE WORK. WHEN THE PRESSURES OF LIFE BECOME OVERWHELMING I FIND OTHER THINGS TO TURN TO.

DON'T BE MISLEAD BY THE COUNTERFEIT COMFORTS THEY ARE IMPOSTORS THAT ARE USED TO ESCAPE,  PAIN. TURNING SELF TO FOOD, TELEVISION, SHOPPING, ALCOHOL, WORKING, WHATEVER THE COUNTERFEIT MIGHT BE, THAT IS USED IN SEARCH FOR THAT RELIEF AND PEACE IT BRINGS THAT WE ARE LONGING FOR. ITS ONLY TEMPORARY, IT PROVIDES THAT RELEASE.  THOSE THINGS ARE NOT BAD, BALANCE IS THE KEY. ONE CAN FIND THEMSELVES IN SLAVED BY ADDICTIVE , DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIORS, MOVING OUT OF THAT COMFORT ZONE CAN FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.

LEARNING SOME GOOD TOOLS, SKILLS, HELPS. FIND THE ROOT CAUSE. GROWTH IS PAINFUL, CHANGE IS PAINFUL. BUT NOTHING IS MORE PAINFUL AS STAYING SOMEWHERE, ONE DOES NOT BELONG. 
SOMETIMES WHEN THINGS ARE FALLING APART THEY MAY BE FALLING INTO PLACE.

MORNING PRAYER

HOW DO I START OUT MY DAY? DO I HAVE A DAILY DECLARATION BEFORE MY FEET HIT THE GROUND?

GOOD MORNING LORD,  I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE GOING TODAY, BUT I'M COMING WITH YOU.
 LISTEN TO MY WORDS, LORD CONSIDER MY LAMENT. HEAR ME AND HELP ME, MY KING MY GOD, FOR TO YOU I PRAY. IN THE MORNING, LORD YOU HEAR MY VOICE, IN THE MORNING I LAY MY REQUEST BEFORE YOU AND WAIT EXPECTANTLY PS. 5; 1-3

GOD IS FIGHTING FOR US.
"FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GOING WITH YOU! HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU AGAINST YOUR ENEMIES, AND HE WILL GIVE YOU VICTORY! DEUTERONOMY 20; 4...

BROKEN PEOPLE

"WE ARE NOT MADE BY GOD TO BE BROKEN PEOPLE. WE WERE MADE PERFECT, ETERNAL BEINGS LIVING BROKEN LIVES AS BROKEN PEOPLE, BECAUSE WE WERE BORN INTO A BROKEN WORLD WRECKED BY SIN."

HE PAID THE PRICE FOR OUR SINS. HE SAVED US, NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAVE DONE, BECAUSE OF HIS MERCY.  HE SAVED US THROUGH THE WASHING OF REBIRTH AND RENEWAL BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHOM HE POURED OUT ON US GENEROUSLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR. TITUS 3; 5-6...

I HAVE BEEN REDEEMED...

SELF CARE..LOVE YOURSELF

MAKE SURE TO LOVE YOURSELF. BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, MAKE SURE YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF. IF YOU ARE NOT TREATING YOURSELF WELL ON THE INSIDE, YOU WILL NOT BE HEALTHY OR HAPPY ON THE OUTSIDE. SELF CARE IS ESSENTIAL TO YOUR WELLNESS.  
DO NOT MAKE YOUR MIND A DUMPING GROUND FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S GARBAGE. 
EVERY TIME YOU FEEL YOURSELF GETTING PULLED INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S NONSENSE, REPEAT THESE WORDS...NOT MY CIRCUS, NOT MY MONKEYS.
MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF YOU ARE IMPORTANT!
