It’s easy for us to be happy and experience joy when something good happens that we are not expecting, but how do we handle things that are the opposite - those unexpected things that don’t bring us joy? Did you know that you can still find joy in those things too? The Bible tells us that ALL things work together for the good of those who love the LORD!!! Yes, even the unexpected news that’s not so good to us. We actually get strengthen through our challenges.  Pastor Tony Evans once said GOD will allow physical changes to take place because there is something spiritual happening. Don’t let what your natural eye is seeing cause you to miss the spiritual blessing GOD is doing for you!! 

We talked about everything being a process but how do we handle going through the process!

Life is full of things we do not expect. They can be good or not so good (we will talk about that :)  How do you handle the unexpected things in your life? 

With today’s world of social media, so many people fall out of being their authentic selves and fall into being something they are not for others approval or attention. We all have flaws but those flaws are what makes us who we are...GOD created us in HIS perfect image. Be true to you because that’s the best you that you can be!!

This was a very impromptu episode. GOD will place things on your heart and you just speak from there...that’s the beauty of loving GOD and being unapologetically you!! A life free of bondage requires no validation! Whew! Our life and time are so valuable and as Christians we have a job to do! Are you ready? 

Who’s in your circle? Are you surrounded by friends making deposits or those always making withdrawals?  You know it’s not the size of your circle that matters but who’s in it that really matters! But hey, if you want to have a genuine friendship, you also have to be a genuine friend!!! Your time is valuable so cherish who you allow to have it! ✔️🖤❤️ 

When hardships arise remember that this is just a test! Like all test, we have to be prepared and with the help of GOD, all things are possible and we can pass the test!!

How many times have we hit the snooze button so that we can get extra sleep?!?! Hey, that’s okay, because sometimes we need it.  But, we have to be careful not to permanently snooze our life.  Don’t procrastinate, just do it and get it done! Yes, you!! You can do this...with GOD all things are possible!

Often times we can just talk too much! Okay, well, maybe it’s just me.  As a kid, I always wanted to be a talk show host. It’s nothing wrong with talking but sometimes we need to just be quiet so that we can hear from GOD. Often times, GOD is speaking to us but we are too busy talking to hear from HIM. I actually heard GOD telling me to just be quiet! Well, I listened and boy am I glad I did. He had a lot to say!

So long, farewell, see ya 2020!!! Hello, 2021!!  I know we were all ready to see 2021 make her appearance!!! As we now began a new year, let’s learn to leave everything in the past where it belongs...in the past. Often times, we like to live in the past but it just isn’t a great place to reside and that’s on Mary had a little lamb - kidding but not really.  Let go of the past and press forward! GOD always has a new thing for us but if we can’t let go of the old, often times, we won’t see it.  Let’s go into 2021 burying the past and planting seeds for our future!!! Who’s with me?
