~HeartSpeak~ Be Kind

~HeartSpeak~

Today I would like to say a prayer for all the hurting people who choose to impose their hurt on others. I pray that God heals whatever pain you have and you are able to get to a place of peace and be able to show love, understanding and compassion to others.

If you are being mistreated and you KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt you haven't done anything to a person, please do not take it personal or let it deter you from being wonderful you. If your relationship is at a place with the person that you can have an open dialogue with them about it, let them know. If they aren't, you still have every right to call them out on it and let them know it is unacceptable. Sometimes, they do not even put enough thought into it to realize what they are doing. Do not accept it. Call them on it.

If you are angry or upset, take a minute to think about what you say and how you approach others before interacting with them. Although hurting people will hurt others, that does not make it alright.

When we learn better, we should do better. What if the last words you spoke or wrote a person was the last they heard from you or anyone on this earth. Would you wish you had handled it differently?

Just a little food for thought. Being kind doesn't cost a thing but the results and how it makes another person feel can be priceless. You never know what a person is dealing with and what if what you said or did pushed them past a breaking point. You just have no way of knowing.

Encourage. Uplift. Celebrate.

Changes...No matter what you're going through, God will bring you through! ALL things are possible for those who believe! Press on! Press through! Embrace the process (changes)!

~HeartSpeak~ You Know You've Made the Right Decision When You Have Peace

A peace that surpasses all understanding comes from being connected and having faith in a GOD that is GREATER than any test or trial that comes your way. I call it GOD-fidence! 

1 Corinthians 15:58 instructs us to be stedfast, unmovable, ALWAYS abounding in the works of the Lord. Bottom line, don't let anything stop you from doing what God has called for you to do. Your labor will not be in vain and EVERYTHING God promised will come to pass!

You do your part. Follow His divine instruction, no matter what. Follow, even if it seems impossible to the natural eye. Follow when others laugh at You and don't believe in You. You can't limit God by the world's standards so why are you trying to limit His vision for your life?

Life truly begins outside of your comfort zone. Believe in yourself and trust God's vision for your life. Seek HIS face. You will find your purpose.

I love you all and pray you reach a place of peace and deliverance from what may be causing you discord in your life.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.



Peace, Love and Blessings Always!

~HeartSpeak~ Sunday- Don't Let Fear Decide Your Future

Fear symbolizes a lack of faith. Are you settling for barely enough because you are afraid to step out on faith and journey toward the promise of "more than enough"?

Get out of your own way and release that stinking thinking that is holding you back. Life can beat you down to a place you no longer remember your dreams IF you let it. It's time to take your power back.

Garbage in results in garbage out. Watch what you expose yourself to. It all matters. You want to increase your vision? Starve your doubts and fears and feed your belief in yourself and God's purpose for your life.

Look within and find ways to tap into your greatness. Be around people who uplift and encourage you, not people who tear others down.

Spend time getting to know the real you and figuring out exactly what you want in life. It's possible to get on track but it won't happen without effort.

Do you really want to change your life? If you do, you will must willing to do something different because doing nothing yields nothing.

How bad do you want it? Too many people sitting around waiting on God while God has been waiting on you. You know what you need to do. The question you need to ask yourself is "Why aren't you doing it?" ‪#‎RealTalk‬‪#‎TimetoGetUnstuck‬ ‪#‎Move‬

~HeartSpeak~ What Energy Are You Releasing into the Atmosphere?

~HeartSpeak~

If  diminishing the other efforts of others and trying to tear them down is what is needed to make you feel better about your life situation and choices, you not only need to take a look in the mirror, you need to examine your heart. Otherwise, why would it matter to you?

The energy you put out will be the same that returns to you. Instead of worrying about others, it's time you start fixing what is wrong with YOU! Be transparent AT LEAST with yourself if you can't be with anyone else. God sees and knows all!

This scripture came to my heart:

1 John 4:18 (KJV) - "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."

God has truly been working and continues to work on me. I view the actions of others with new eyes and meaning. I no longer take it personal and realize in these times of spiritual warfare, there is something greater at work. When we learn better, we should truly do better. God is love. If we learned to abide in love, the world would truly be a better place. Too many of us simply not checking ourselves and doing and saying whatever we please. Every action has a consequence, be it good or bad.

Now, more than ever, it is important to not only plant/sow good seed but the WORDS we speak carry much power! Speak life and love if you want more in your life. Speaking hatred and carrying hatred in your heart is not going to harm the other person. It will only harm and consume you!

Just a little food for thought! Think about it! Take a moment to feel the space you are in within your heart before you release it into the atmosphere! Guaranteed what you put OUT will return to you!

Your Current Situation is NOT Your Final DESTINATION!

~Thursday Morning HeartSpeak~

Don’t stay focused on where you are. If you fixate on one bad season, one bad break, then you’re going to get sour, bitter and lose your passion. That season is simply one part in the plan for your life. It is not your final destination. - Joel Osteen

Your current situation is NOT your final destination! When you change the way you look at the things around you, the things around you will change. It's time to stop seeing every test and trial as a weapon sent to destroy you. Some things we need to just GET OVER! People will walk out of your life, lie to you, even take your kindness for weakness. Sometimes it's just a way for them to be moved from you life to make room for those FOREVER type of people!

Things hurt but pain is temporary! One day you will look back and remember not the fact that it happened but that you GOT OVER IT! Life truly goes on and the world does not revolve around even us! Your destiny will NEVER be tied to anyone who leaves you. Can they be used in your process? Absolutely! There is a blessing in the lesson and there is definitely a BLESSING in the PRESSING!

Live, Learn, Love but more importantly, walk away from the "NOUNS" that no longer serve a purpose in your journey! Some of you will get that and realize it's not a negative! ;-)

Peace!

#LifeLessons- Take It Or Leave It

#LifeLessons- Take It Or Leave It

I don't care what issues I may go through with family (everyone does, no perfect family), but you will NEVER see a post about it on social media or in the streets with their names in it. If I can't talk about it with them personally, I will talk to God. I will come to you about it and if we can't resolve it, we can't resolve it. Unfortunately, not everyone, even family, feels that way. Too many don't understand what LOYALTY is. I don't care how many co-signors you get, it doesn't make it right! Some of those applauding are laughing behind your backs.

I have close friends that I know would hold me accountable and put me in check! LOL- that's just how WE roll!

Can't blame it all on the young people either. Don't let it take a tragedy to wake you up. So much going on in this world. I look at the situation with Lamar Odom for instance. The media has done nothing but bash him and try to tear him down. Now in the midst of tragedy, the tune has been changed a little bit. #PrayersforLamar

My God, the Bible is truly fulfilling and speaks of times like this.Open your eyes folks and realize what truly matters. Only what is built with God will last. Remember that!

Love IS what love DOES!
