Regarding protecting our peace, let's talk about support or lack thereof. Do you get the support you want from the people you want it from? If so, awesome. If not, well it's probably not you. It's that we want support from people who may not be able to give it. If people are drained and running on empty, we can't expect them to support us. And whether they support us or not, we have to go ahead without them and proceed full stream forward. Don't let lack of support bother you. God will bring in the people who are best for you. You just wait. It will happen.

When it comes to protecting your peace, what do you do when you get bored? I'm talking pre-pandemic bored and post-pandemic bored? Just remember this: boredom has led to greatness and boredom has led to failures. Thus, boredom has lead to great investments and inventions and boredom has led to great desperation and despair. Of course we want the former -- we want greater, better, and abundance, which means we have to think twice when we're bored and use our time very wisely.

When it comes to protecting our peace, asking for help is paramount to our emotional health. Do you ask for help? This is a big world and there are many people who can help us. All we have to do is have the wisdom and insight to pick the right one. However, if we don't seek answers to the problems or issues we may be experiencing, getting the help we need may be difficult. There are resources to help us and some of those resources are in seeking a life coach, therapist, or counselor. There are trustworthy people with integrity who will help you sort out some things and will not share your information with anyone. Seek those people and be ok with asking for help.

Today's message is about consistency. Yes, showing up when we're supposed to be where we say we're supposed to be. That can  be whatever it means to you. It doesn't have to be showing up physically. It can mean showing up emotionally, spiritually, or financially for instance and doing that consistently. It's about walking the walk instead of simply talking the talk, because as we know, talk is cheap. At any rate, consistency is doing the positive and productive things we are supposed to do, which helps protect and maintain our peace. It also helps protect and maintain the peace of the people we show up for.

How's protecting your peace going these days? Are you settling? Are you getting less than what God has for your life? I settled many times in my life and I finally learned to stop being a people-pleaser and I finally learned to put myself first. Today, I confidently and humbly stand for what I want and need in my life. That attitude of respect for myself has helped me in so many ways and levels of my life. It's about knowing who God says we are and when we know that, we don't settle for less just to make others comfortable. It's about positioning ourselves around positive people with the values and goals we have.

Do you know when it comes to protecting our peace, there are ways we can remain peaceful even if we mess up? Yes, it's true. When we drop the ball and fall short we can take time to reflect about what we could have done differently. I had to do that yesterday when I messed up during an engagement I had, but I decided to consult God, first. I owed it, then I made the decision to focus on what I should have done in the first place. That's what I'm working on now and great things are coming out of it. What I'm saying is that we don't have to make it a big deal when we disappoint ourselves. We can use any mishap as an opportunity for growth and new developments.

God said don't look back. Yes, in Genesis 19 He told Lot's wife not to look back on the things He was destroying -- the cites of Sodom and Gomorrah -- He was destroying all the things that meant His people no good. Yet, Lot's wife looked back and she turned into a pillar of salt. She was no more. That's a reminder that God doesn't want us to look back either. He wants us to take our testimony and tell others the lessons of our lives. He wants us to help people just as He did, continuous to do, and will do. What I mean is that we can do things in the ways He will have us to do them according to the will He has over our lives. Yes, we can say, "what would Jesus do?" Then proceed accordingly as we look forward to all the great things He has for us.

Do you dream? Are you moving towards your dream? Dreams don't have to be huge to live the life God has for us. Dreams don't have to be hard either. They can be something we do everything that can bring us even more abundance and blessings. We can start small and stay small. If we can do it, someone else wants to be a part of it. Dream and do your dream everyday.

Are you taking up space? What kind of space are you taking up? Positive space? Today, more than ever we have the absolute right to walk in the confidence God gives us, which means we can make our presence know in the most humble way. We can make our presence know by making a positive splash and positive impact. Yes, that's right, Psalm 139:14 tells us we're fearfully and wonderfully made; 2 Corinthians 5:17 says we're new creations in Christ Jesus, 2 Timothy 1:7 says God never gives us a spirit of timidity, fear, anxiety, or nervousness. He gives us a spirit of power, love, and self-control/self-discipline, and Galatians 5:22/23 says there are fruits of the spirit we can walk tall in. So, take up space.

This is my pep talk to you to keep going forward and stay in the game. It's easy to get distracted and down because things don't seem to be moving, but stay with it -- stay with what you want in your life and the lives of those you love. Stay with God. He's going to come through for you, no worries. Remember, protecting our peace is about taking care of ourselves no matter what is in front us. It doesn't matter what challenges are facing us, we can move to new heights of abundance anyway. I want to remind you of that. Stay with it. These words are for you once again. God's got you.
