Happy Monday Dolls,
To know your peace is to know your truth. Don't be caught up in others peace, because it disrupts your own. Your peace is in the presence of GOD, the truth. Peace of mind and the tranquility is often blurred when we seek others peace and/or turn to temporary fixes. Those who attempt to find peace in worldly pursuits will find themselves sadly deceived. May the GOD of hope fill you with all joy and peace. Find your peace today.
P. S. I LOVE PEACE

Happy Friday Dolls,
Be on the look out for those who are so quick to tag along while everything is in their favor, those be the main ones who curse you behind your back. There is a word for them: users. Although, we are required to love everyone, be are not required to let them take advantage or misuse our, time, efforts, talents and gifts. In your good deeds make sure they are coming from a pure place and a pure place will be secured. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to so what is honorable in the sight of all. Never seek revenge, but be noble for "Vengeance is the LORD'S". We as believers need to identify this way it will breaks the cycle and recover from hurts and pains. One of the downsides of being a Christian is that people may try to take advantage of you. This happens not only to Christians, but any nice person in general who has a heart to help people. Some people in this world are selfish, lazy, lovers of money, or simply greedy. When they see someone nice, you become a target. Even though the Bible commands us to be generous, we are not called to give all we have, or become poor or needy ourselves in the process. We must use discernment and be cautious about giving beyond our means even if it is to a family or friend in need. We still must remain in a place of being discipline in our deeds and be good stewards. We can overspend or help so many people that we become poor ourselves. Bottom line, be keen to those always looking for a handout.

Discern or be Swallowed
Happy Thursday Dolls,
Riding to work listening to the radio and the legendary DMX song " Who We Be" came on, and instantly all I could do was get hyped. Those words resonated with me, but differently than before. Just read a snippet of a verse... The jealousy, the envy, the phony, the friendly (uh-huh!)
The one that gave 'em the slugs, the one that put 'em in me (woo!) The snakes, the grass too long to see (uh, uh!). This is reaI and I am sure everyone can relate to some degree. We must be careful to not only pray but be vigilant simultaneously. Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. Don't be caught off guard or allow them to lure you in but recognize them by their fruits. I pray right now that the people of GOD will use wisdom in letting their guards down. That we may identify wicked persuasion. That our enemies and all the perpetrators may be highlighted in JESUS name amen.

There is no I in team.
Happy Team Tuesday Dolls,
Please, don't fool yourself into believing you can do it all by yourself. Yes, there will be times when you have to do somethings alone, its apart of the process, but to truly walk in a gift it take a team. A truthful and honest team. A team that would hold you accountable for going forth. A team that you can bounce ideas and thoughts from. A team who will discipline your flesh when you are up against the wall. A team that would pray and cover you while your doing and living out your potential. A team that would assist in increasing productivity, quality and provide a support system for each member of the team. Two or three will always be better than one, because if one fall, one can lift up the other. Your team is only as strong as the weakest member. Build one another for the greater good.

THE WILL
Happy Coloring Day Dolls
As an Elementary school teacher, this should never come out, but here it goes, I'm never touching another crayon, I'm putting down all coloring utensils. No more will I try to color the visions of my life. I hand them all over to the one true living GOD. Father, fill me in, with whatever colors you desire, for I am confident you won't stray outside coloring lines but keep me on a straight path. I'm not the author, what do I know? GOD has a gentle but harsh way of reminding me. Father GOD I'm letting go of my will, my vision, my ideas of adding color to my life. Father, I surrender my mind, my decisions, my thoughts, desires and reasonings. I surrender all things according to YOUR counsel and YOUR will. Father, help me take on your character and perspectives. Help me delight in your commandments. I pray for unabated confidence in YOU and not man. In JESUS name, Amen.
P.S. I LOVE GODS WILL

Me for Me
Happy Real Tuesday Dolls,
Insecurities and injuries? They both are relationship killers and controllers. Stop highlighting yourself to dim others. The real truth is insecurities and injuries will both brings on a false sense of capabilities and self-worth. These two coupled will cause you to second guess yourself and destroy your self-worth. And stop gossiping about others accomplishments and secretly comparing yourself to them. Its okay to use them as motivation. But you cant compliment them because you are so afraid that they "could" possibly be better than you. Instead of observing and learning you rather dilute and mimic. Which triggers your self-absorption, and tells you, huh, I can do it so much better. STOP, you will only be temporarily satisfied or not satisfied at all. But since you went way out your way to prove you can do it better, you soon realize you are stuck and have to keep going along with it because you have invested so much time trying to be someone your not. It takes a toll on you mentally, emotionally and physically. Those are the simultaneous injuries. You don't see it coming, but it hits and affects your body. Then you have to spend time healing and repairing. You are truly able to bounce back under the right conditions: being transparent with yourself; building trust and confidence within; being thankful for the gifts and talents GOD have blessed you with. Time to get to know yourself.

Round for Round.
Happy Thursday Dolls,
Anything you believe in is worth the fight. Its those things that causes you to have disbelief that you should throw the towel in on. One of the biggest mistakes we make is not learning how to deal with the let downs and mistakes. Don't believe you have to be happy-go-lucky 24/7, 360. NOT, don't ignore or pretend like you don't feel those emotions. You have to identify them and deal with them. That's the first step is dealing with the fear of not dealing with the emotions they builds and encourages your faith. Discomfort is a form of growth that keeps you in the ring and keeps you lasting from round to round. You have assurance, of those things hoped for...believe. Let steadfastness have its full effect, that all things may work out and be complete. Let steadfastness off everything you believe in be generously given.
P.S. I LOVE TO BELIEVE
