Good morning my Kings, Queens, and Princesses!

STRUGGLE: Make forceful or violent efforts to get free of restraint or constriction; (2) A forceful or violent effort to get free of restraint or resist attack.

STRENGTH: The quality or state of being physically strong; (2) The capacity of an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure.

GOD has given me such great strength through my struggles that has amazed me, and at the same time knowing that only GOD could bring this kind of strength through my struggles.

There are some folk that don’t take struggle so well. Some do negative (not believing), and hurtful things because of the struggle that they endure. Not having the knowledge that GOD is able to do exceedingly, abundantly all that we can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20 KJV) is a key component to living to living your best life in spite of the struggles that you endure. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is STRENGTH.

I always example myself as the caterpillar that turns into a beautiful butterfly. Without the struggle, my wings would be crippled and non-existing.

The caterpillar that lies inside the cocoon will never become the beautiful butterfly if someone cuts open the cocoon prematurely (aborts the process). It is the STRUGGLE itself that allows the butterfly to emerge as a strong, new elegant creature of nature.

As I have stated before, EMBRACE your struggles. When you start thanking and praising GOD for your struggles (even though they may not feel good), they will be a part of who you are, and that is STRENGTH (the strength that GOD has given you)!

MY STRENGTH IS IN MY STUGGLES………………………..

ALL IS WELL…………………….

FORGIVE: (1): stop feeling angry or resentful toward (someone) for an offense; (2): stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for (an offense, flaw, or mistake); (3): cancel (a debt).

Forgiveness is mandatory for me. I ask GOD for forgiveness of my sins, and the sins of the nation/world on a daily basis. Learning to forgive myself allows me to live my life more abundantly. It’s a feeling of freedom and rejuvenation that I live everyday, because I’m asking for forgiveness, and forgiving (I will be doing a series on forgive/forgiveness).

MY TRANSPARENCY: Forgiveness is so important in my christian walk of life. Forgiveness is like going to work everyday for me. I’m aware of what I’m going through (thoughts, envy, or hatred). I acknowledge, ask GOD for divine forgiveness, and then go to the person that I have the ought against, and ask them to forgive me. I ponder over my life, and ask GOD to put a person back in my life (that I need to ask for forgiveness) so that I may ask them to forgive me. GOD brings that person back into my life so I that I may ask for forgiveness, and move on.

Forgiveness leads to feelings of understanding, empathy, compassion, and integrity for the one who hurt you. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or excusing the harm done to. Forgiveness brings a kind of peace and power, that allows you to live you life with GREATNESS!

Forgiveness releases us from the hold of hurt, disappointment, and discouragement. Understanding the importance of forgiveness has nothing to do with the other person or the offense. With the LORD JESUS CHRIST as the lover of our souls, He leads us to grace and mercy (covering).

My desire to FORGIVE (no matter how much pain the accuser has caused me), my POSTURE ( the position or bearing of the body whether characteristic or assumed for a special purpose) is divinely purposed to do GREATNESS and miracles in GOD.

AFFIRMATION:

There is POWER, INTEGRITY and GREATNESS in FORGIVENESS………………………………………………………. I FORGIVE MYSELF FOR NOT FORGIVING ME………………………….

Good morning Kings, Queens, Princesses!

ACCEPTANCE: The action of consenting to receive or undertake something offered.

When we’re self-accepting, we’re able to embrace all facets of ourselves—not just the positive, more ‘esteem-able’ parts.” Full self-acceptance can lay the foundations for positive self-esteem, and the two frequently go hand-in-hand.

I had to learn to love myself and accept the things that I can’t change, courage and bravery to change the things that I can, and great wisdom from God to know the difference (wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, and discernment).

ACEEPTANCE is something that plays a vital part in the life of a Christian. Acceptance allows you to have a conversation with yourself and ask, “have I accepted me for me?” Acceptance is part on my SELF-CARE LOVE. I do the work that it takes for my acceptance of things that I know that I can t change, but can accept them, and teach women that acceptance to accept the good, bad, and ugly. This is going to make you the powerful woman of GOD that He designed you to be.

WALK in the way that GOD is taking you. ACCEPTANCE may not feel good at first, but it will be for your good, and you will be like me, walking in greatness in spite of your FLAWS because of GOD being my EVERYTHING!

AFFIRMATION:

GOD MADE ONLY ONE YOU! EMBRACE THAT BEAUTIFUL YOU!!

Good morning!

SELF CARE: (1) The practice of taking action to preserve or improve one’s own health.

WHAT IS SELF-CARE LOVE?

Self-love is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological and spiritual growth. Self-love means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others.

My self-love journey has been bitter sweet, but worth all the work that I have done, and am doing to continue this wonderful process. for me, self-care is digging deep within and getting to the stuff that I don’t want to deal with such as my insecurities, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, unassertiveness, timidness, etc….

When I have company, and sometimes unexpected company (insecurities, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, unassertiveness, timidness, etc….), I get out glasses of wine, and we have a pow-wow sit down conversation as to why you keep showing up at different levels. THE CONVERSATION: I’m here ( insecurities, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, unassertiveness, timidness, etc….) because you have conquered me at the level that I thought I could take you out in. Now, it looks like you’re at a level that I have to rethink my strategic on how I should come at you. I let them (insecurities, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, unassertiveness, timidness, etc….) know that I have a GOD that loves me enough to heal my insecurities, and the ones that pop up, I can deal with them accordingly. Now I can say that I welcome the things that I don’t want to deal with because I know that I have the GOD of Israel on my side to deliver me from all of my less SELF-CARE LOVENESS.

Love yourself enough to deal with the good, bad, and the ugly. I embrace dealing with all that and more. I love myself enough to deal with it, have a good cry, and then do my self-care love that I deserve and need for me.

SELF-CARE LOVE is one of the best things that I love doing for me.

LOVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF YOU TO THE FULLEST (BEGIN AND END WITH GOD)…………

AFFIRMATION:

“I AM WONDERFULLY AND FEARFULLY MADE BY THE LOVER OF MY SOUL!“

ALL IS WELL…………………..

The plumbline is GOD at the top, and I’m at the bottom. The linear line, which is the plumbline needs to be straight up and down so that let’s me know that I’m in the will of GOD and doing the purpose that He has birthed in me. The plumbline is my nourishments, nutrients, vitamins, etc…. that GOD gives me on a daily basis. When I’m feeling spiritually weak, I need to check my plumbline to make sure that my connection is ACTIVE.

Like a plumb line, the awe-inspiring record of God’s word is a constant reference for us. If we find that we have erred or strayed, scripture declares the actions to be taken to rediscover God’s unconditional love. Your connection with GOD is important on the journey to your destiny.

BE ENCOURAGED people of GOD, and know that GOD is our only PLUMBLINE!

Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. 8 And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more (Amos 7:7-8)

Amos, The Prophet.

ALL IS WELL………
