Recalibration is needed every now and then when we feel stuck, overwhelmed or tired. Dig within, examine yourself and make all attempts to figure out the issue. When something is no longer working to serve any purpose in your life, let it go. Refresh and renew your purpose and focus. I used the story of the fig tree, read about it here: ”Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’“ Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Dear Adults,

As you diligently work to provide for your family, I urge you to also prioritize creating a warm, trusting, and safe environment for our children. It's essential that every child feels valued and knows they have adults they can turn to, regardless of the situation. I'm reaching out to all adults through this platform to encourage daily efforts in protecting and checking in on the children under their care and in their vicinity. Regular inquiries about their well-being and activities can greatly reduce the risk of them falling into harmful situations and ensure they have a secure place and someone to rely on before making decisions. Shower your children with love, regardless of their age; they will always be your children. Wishing you blessings today and always.

Welcome to this beautiful month! Let’s have fun and stay prayed up!

Welcome to this edition of "The Truth Is." Today, we'll delve into the profound significance of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and its practical application in our daily lives. Our prayer is that each of our listeners experiences resurrection through the divine power and grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Do you ever sense judgment or detect underlying attitudes from people that they conceal when they're around you? Know that you're not alone. However, don't dwell on it. There are upsides and downsides to this situations. On the positive side, use it as an opportunity for self-reflection. Consider if there's validity to their perceptions and areas for personal growth. But don't let their treatment of you deter you from being true to yourself. Transform negativity into motivation for self-improvement, although it's a gradual process requiring patience, perseverance, humility, grace, and resilience. Use this experience to cultivate empathy and refrain from judging others without understanding their stories.

On the downside, such experiences can harm mental well-being and impede personal development. Therefore, refrain from passing judgment if you haven't experienced someone else's challenges firsthand or can't offer constructive support. Remember, what goes around comes around.

Ultimately, maintain a compassionate and unbiased mindset toward others. Don't allow anyone to manipulate your self-perception or opinions of others. Continuously strive for self-awareness and positive growth.

Control your thoughts:

The mind is a beautiful thing. Practice and learn how to control yours. All types of thoughts run through our minds daily and we can train our minds to filter the good from the bad. This is an intentional exercise and once you become aware of how powerful your mind is and how far it can lead you, you will begin to understand how important it is for you to learn how to control it and navigate through the millions of thoughts that cross your mind and process them appropriately.

I just want to remind you that you are not alone. God sees you and God knows your name. God knows your situation and trust me, God is working on it. Everything happens for a reason and everything happens for the glory of God. It is not always to our understanding or to our comfort, but at the end we will praise God for looking out for us. Stay in faith and just trust God. As I always say remember to do your part, because God never fails.

Trust that no matter what comes your way you are capable of handling it. Do not let life dictate to you and give you limitations. Keep trying your best in every situation, weigh your options, prepare to face challenges and be confident about the choices you have to make, so that you can be happy and feel accomplished with the outcome.

We are all tired, however, we need to practice self-care so that we don’t fall apart. In the Bible, there are several examples of how Jesus took time to self preserve and self care. So if our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ took time out away from the crowd, and away from the disciples, then we ought to do the same. Find ways to take care of your mind, body, and soul. No one knows how you truly feel, but they can empathize with you and give examples, but only you know what lays heavy on your mind and what aches your body, so find ways to ease your pain and the pressure on your mind. Start today to stop being tired, exhausted, and burdened.

Keep your head up and be grateful for seeing another day. Bless yourself and everything and everyone around you. It shall be well with your/our souls amen! Be positive!
