There comes a time in our lives that we must stop putting our own needs on the back burner to help everyone else with their projects, their ministries, their children, their books, and their conferences.  What about what God has placed in you, and when are you going to use it? One of the most painful things to do is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much and forgetting that you are special to God too.  Yes, we should help others; but in the process we must find a way to help ourselves.  Perhaps this is the time to follow what you want and your passion to do something that really matters to you.  The moment is right now…TODAY!

If we are going to get better for this New Year, we must first begin by facing our problems head on.  Now we know it won’t be easy.  In today’s society, there is not one person who is capable of flawlessly handling ever punch that is thrown at them.  We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve every problem we run into.  That’s not how we were made.  I believe we were made to get upset, be sad, hurt, stumble, learn, adapt and solve our problems over the course of time.  Remember, the bible says there is a time for everything that exists. These are the things that ultimately mold us into the person God created for us to be.

We can better ourselves by being honest to ourselves.  Stop lying to yourself.  We can lie to anyone else in the world but we can’t lie to ourselves.  We improve our lives when we take chances and are honest with ourselves about who we are and what we can do.

The most difficult chance we can take is to be completely honest with ourselves about where we are going and how, along with what it is that we really want out of life and for who!

By being honest with ourselves, it teaches us how to go for the right goals and dreams in life that our heavenly father has already prepared for us to reach.  Let’s not do what everyone else wants us to do but let’s be honest enough to take a stand and do what God has placed in us to become the best that we can become, for no one can be you!

Father God, I thank you so much for this blessed day, a blessed tomorrow, a blessed week and a blessed month.  Father God, I thank you for all the blessed years that you have given me and my family and for protecting us from all hurt, harm, and danger along the way.  I thank you for what you are doing in my life and allowing me to be a wonderful spouse.  I thank you for what you are doing right now and for me being an awesome God to me.  Father I will continue to stand on your everlasting word and trust that you will continue to be there for me.  Continue to guide me and family in the right direction that we should go and keep us in your hedge of protection.  Reveal your truth and knowledge to all those that may be lost and need to be found.  Please comfort their heart.  We bound up satan right now to loose God’s people and let them go.  Our heavenly father has already paid the price.

Amen

IT IS TIME TO STOP SPENDING ALL YOUR VALUABLE TIME WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE.

YOUR LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WASTE PRECIOUS TIME WITH PEOPLE WHO SUCK ALL THE HAPPINESS OUT OF YOU.

IF YOU ARE TO BE IN SOMEONE’S LIFE, THEN THEY WILL MAKE ROOM FOR YOU. YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO FIGHT FOR A SPOT IN A PERSONS LIFE. THERE SHOULD NEVER BE A TIME IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE TO SOMEONE WHO CONTINUES TO OVERLOOK WHAT YOU ARE WORTH, WHETHER IT BE FAMILY, FRIENDS, HUSBAND, GIRLFRIENDS, CHURCH FOLKS, ETC.

YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS THOUGHT,IT’S NOT THE PEOPLE THAT STAND BY YOU WHEN YOU ARE AT YOUR BEST, BUT THE ONES WHO STAND RIGHT THERE BESIDE YOU WHEN YOU ARE AT THE WORST POINT OF YOUR LIFE- THESE ARE THE TRUE FRIENDS IN YOUR LIFE.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL, KNOW THIS AHEAD OF TIME, IT WILL NOT BE THAT EASY, BECAUSE IF IT WERE THAT EASY, EVERYONE WOULD ALREADY BE SUCCESSFUL.

DON’T BE AFRAID TO GO WHERE YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN BEFORE AND YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY EXPECT SOME STUMBLING BLOCKS TO JUMP RIGHT IN YOUR WAY!

WILL YOU STOP AND GIVE UP OR CLIMB OVER THE HURDLE AND RUN FOR THE FINISH LINE?

IF SOMEONE HAS TO GO THE EXTRA MILE, THEN WHY NOT YOU? YOU MUST GET OUT THERE AND TAKE SOME CHANCES IN ORDER TO REALIZE THAT YOU CAN OVERCOME ALL YOUR FEARS.

JUST IMAGINE HOW YOU WILL FEEL WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT THERE IS NO GIANT TOO BIG TO STAND IN YOUR WAY! STOP WORRYING SO MUCH. MOST OF OUR FEARS EXIST ONLY IN OUR MINDS.

GET RID OF THEM AND SPEND YOUR ENERGY ON SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE. GETTING YOU TOGETHER IS ENOUGH TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT.

LET GOD BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE AND HE WILL LEAD YOU IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR SUCCESS. NOW STAND UP TO YOUR FEARS AND TELL THEM WHERE THEY CAN GO!

I am a woman, and I was blessed to do anything my heart desires.  I can endure the worst and still come out on top.  I can be a wife and a mother, a friend and a grandmother and still manage to have the career of my dreams. I will not let anyone take what is inparted on the inside of me because they didn’t give it to me. I know what I have done and where I have been. I am a woman of power and virtue, love and encouragement. Support my dreams or catch up with me later, because I am going places that you may not be prepared to venture into. I will be successful and I will succeed in everything I touch. Failure is not an option for me. The world is about to find out exactly who I am and who I represent.

Thank you for always being there, understanding and listening never being too far. Thank you for being there hearing all my compliants and fears, always around to dry up my tears. Thank you for always letting me come to you each and every day when I didn’t even know the way.Thank you for letting me come to you when I had no idea what to do. Thank you for your mercy and your grace, allowing me to move at a slower pace. Thank you for being my true friend to the bitter end, Thank you for opening up your arms whenever I needed a hug, even after all the holes I dug. Thank you for keeping me together during the good and bad weather. Thank you for holding me up when I wanted to fall, teaching me all the right numbers to call. Building me up and making me strong ,even if I fell, I knew you wouldn’t be long. Thank you for your patience along the way, I thank you God, I know you today.
