We are SSSSSOOOOO excited you have decided to do life with us for the next 40 DAYS! GOD IS REALLY GOING TO SHOW UP IN AN AMAZING WAY IN YOUR LIFE! BEYOND WHAT YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE OR THINK! JUST TASTE AND SEE!
Hey Sis, you
have so much potential and you are destined for greatness! Don't let
situations and circumstances determine your joy, happiness, or your destiny. Your best days are ahead of
you!
Start life fresh tomorrow! Wake-up with a new attitude. If you
don't have anyone to encourage you, encourage yourself. Start speaking
and seeing yourself as you want to be rather than as you are.
Go ahead, write
down your vision, write out the characteristics that describe the ideal
you. Start tomorrow living with a renewed attitude matter of fact, start
TODAY! Fake it, until you make it (a positive attitude & smile).
All day start saying to yourself; I am somebody, my life is worth
living, I am a child of the Most High God and He has a plan of
prosperity & hope for my future! Smile as you say this! Say it 10
or more times. Say it every time the devil tries to steal your joy.
Know the devil is defeated. You just have to arise from your sleeping
state and claim the victory. You may
lose some battles but you WILL WIN THE WAR....
If you have strike on your job with a co-worker or a boss apologize
even if it is not your fault. My great Pastor once said he earned
respect of the people he respect, by first giving respect to the people
he respect, his elders and people in authority. Respect is to feel or
show honor or esteem, to show consideration or regard.
Being
respectful is accepting direction or guidance from our superiors even
when we disagree with the direction. Being respectful is when someone
in authority (Pastor, parent(s), supervisor, someone in higher position
than you, Police Officer) tell you something rather it is to correct a
behavior, wrong doing or just for FYI is saying simply “Yes, I
understand.”, “Okay, Awesome!” “Next time I will do that.”, “Not a
problem”. Be very careful challenging people in authority. Sometimes
less is more.
The more we say sometimes the more we dig ourselves into a
deeper hole. Being humble is taking the blame when it is not our
fault, and not taking credit for what is accomplished. Being humble is
sometimes just being quiet and holding our peace. Know this HUMILITY
comes before HONOR!
I
see you as a very talented, educated, creative, outgoing, bold, eager,
and beautiful God fearing woman! Don’t let anyone tell you different!
No man, no girlfriends, co-workers or etc. If a guy dares to judge you
by your outward appearance be very wary because he is likely a
bozo! A bozo focus on the external of a woman!A
real man, a man worth having will exam your internal. A good man wants
to know that you are a woman of noble character, a woman that is secure
and confident, and a woman that has standards and won’t tolerate
disrespect.
Being confident and secure is not how cute we think we are
in the mirror. Being secure and confident is loving yourself just the
way you are and not conforming who you are to please or satisfy other
people.
If you want to wash your hair and blow dry it and go to work,
do it. Do it in boldness and be proud about. If someone says
something, stand up and say that’s my natural hair and I love every
single curl in it and I am beautiful and confident with my curly puffy
hair. Don’t let other people determine your standard of beautiful.
For
many years I thought I was confident and secure in who I was as a woman
and then I realized I would change who I was to please a guy. Wear
make-up, not wear make-up, let my hair grow out, wear certain clothes
just as I was directed.
NO, NO, NO, AND NO! I have my own mind! I
don’t need some bozo telling me how to do me! Neither do you! If a man
does that or tries to tear down your character it is because he is weak
and insecure man and he want you to be weak and insecure. The devil is
a liar! You are greater than that! You deserve more than that! If a
man does not honor and respect you, he is a bozo and he is not worth
your time. A man will have sex with a woman that is “beautiful” but
men, great strong men, marry women they respect.
Below are a few links from youtube.com
that I wanted to share with you. Turn that darkness into light.
Pray and asks God to give you a new attitude. An attitude of hope, an
attitude of appreciation, an attitude of joy and peace. I love you Sis
and I believe in you. You got what it takes. Go get it!!!
