Born4This with Angela Marie

On today's episode, we talked about elevating our perspective, adjusting to new seasons, and the power of pivoting. It's about seeing things not just as they are, but as opportunities for growth.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. When have you had to shift your perspective or pivot in your own life?

Do it Because You love God!

Did you find that hard to receive or do: 

*Because your days are navigated by selfishness?

Philippians 2:3-4 (NIV)

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

*Because your days are navigated by hurt?

Psalm 34:18 (NIV)

18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

*Because your days are navigated by offenses?

Proverbs 19:11 (Legacy Standard Bible)

11 A man’s insight makes him slow to anger,
And it is his honor to overlook a transgression.

*Because your days are navigated by insecurity?

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

*Because your days are navigated by the past?

Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV)

18 “Forget the former things;
    do not dwell on the past.

19 See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.

*Because your days are navigated by fear?

Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Have you ever had a conversation turn into a breakthrough moment you needed? Just know, God orchestrated that! He knows what we need even when we don't, or can't find the words to articulate or express our mind state. I talk about one such encounter that changed my trajectory once and for all right when I needed it! Join the conversation!

The Power of the Pause

*Take a few minutes to stop.

*Don’t allow the clock to dictate your moment.

*Control your momentum.

*Breathe

*Remind yourself that God inside of you is bigger than any moment you face.

*Be conscious every second, that God is in control.

*You were not built to break!

*You were born to create, dominate, resonate and facilitate the goodness and faithfulness of God where ever You are.

*Be present and in control with a yielded and humble heart completely reliant on the holy spirit to lead and guide you in all matters concerning your life!

*You own the moment when you recognize the power of the pause.

Enough is the point at which a quantity or amount satisfiesa need, requirement, or desire, without being excessive. It represents a state of sufficiency, where no more is needed.

1. So, what does it mean when you see or hear this?

2. How can I live this as my truth?

3. Why does it matter? What's the big deal?

On todays episode we talk about it. Join the conversation!

In the Bible, wisdom is more than just knowledge; it's the practical application of knowledge, understanding, and righteousness, often with a focus on living in accordance with God's will. It involves discernment, skill in navigating life's complexities, and making wise decisions, all rooted in a reverent fear and love for God. 

James 1:5-8 (NIV)

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. 

Proverbs 24:3-4 (NIV)

3 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; 4 through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

When God moves in and through your life he moves in an undeniable authority and gracious power! Try getting out of your own way and watch what he will do in you and through you!

The life you live, the blessings you receive, the trials you overcome, and the path you navigate all ripple outward, impacting those in proximity to you. Your choices, your attitude, and your actions, whether big or small, create an energy that touches the lives of family, friends, colleagues and even strangers, shaping their experiences and perspectives in ways you might never full realize. Colossians 1:27 tells us that we are the hope of Gods glory in the world. You are the evidence of things not yet seen. You are the substance of hope in the earth! You are hope!

Find stillness in the busy, chaotic, demanding life you're living.

Psalm 46:10 (NIV)

Goodness of God -Cee Cee Winans (Live)

Upsyde - Yes!

It is not selfish to put yourself first! People have probably tried to make you feel guilty whenever you choose you! Living up to anyone's standards is nearly impossible. It's a snare to who you truly are and an interruption to the person you're becoming. Both, your critics and your fans have already made up in their heart and mind what they believe and think about you. You can't force your truth on them, but you can adjust where you place your energy and focus. The relationships, experiences, and opportunities that are meant for you will organically gravitate to you! In other words, what's truly meant for you will not miss it's divine appointment with you! Set yourself up to win! Whatever changes or decisions you're making, do it for YOU!

Always Me,

Angela Marie
