The universe you see starts with yourself. How you may view yourself impacts the way you view “your world” greatly. Search yourself. Do love/fancy the way you look. Do you hate the way react? That is okay! What is important is that you make sure you are aware of your greatest features and your biggest flaws. When you go beyond what you love or hate about yourself. You become able to focus on acceptance. Accepting yourself for who you are and allowing the love to naturally form in your life. The journey to understand your infinite self begins with understanding who you are and changing for the better.
When you entrust it to God and allow Him to work in His timing, have faith that the outcome will surpass any results you could have envisioned. Trust that His timing and His ways are far superior to our own.
The thing is, when you choose to surrender to God, there might be instances where you have to relinquish what you hold most dear, trusting that He will bring it back and restore it.
THIS YEAR HAS DRAGGED ME! - I've dealt with fighting myself, not going back to a dark place. I've dealt with "special" people trying to get me to snap, and because I didn't, all of a sudden, they were scared! I've done a lot of grieving and mourning this year to the point where I'm tired of crying and questioning things.
When you start working on yourself, it can be difficult and uncomfortable. You have to confront your weaknesses and challenges, and you may sometimes feel like giving up. But if you keep going, you will start to see results... So, next time you're feeling the pain of personal development…
It’s nothing like when the enemy knows your weaknesses and uses them against you; he knows mines. He knows what buttons to press, he knows when to use certain people to get to me, and of course, he knows when to prowl around my mind. Like everyone else, I struggle…
Living in the flesh is easy because it just comes naturally to us. However, the battle becomes real when you start to feed yourself spiritually, and now you’re choosing which to cater to. Bloomers, let’s saddle up as I explain “The War Within” – Flesh vs. Spirit.
Know that your process and training are not in vain because you are being prepared for the future…You may be tired of the trials, tribulations, frustration, and all that good stuff, but it’s honestly not in vain. Your Breakthrough & Deliverance are in the places you want to leave and/or the person you are trying to escape from.
Know that God is doing something new in this new season, whereas your struggle in the previous season will fade away. Because what He has in store for you will cause you to forget about the former things.
"Shift & Transformation" will be me (IN THE NAME OF JESUS) doing my best to be intentional about what I am doing during this time. Many personal things I want to work on & accomplish, as well as not changing who I am but evolving even more.
This is the time to feed your soul & spirit! Get into the Word and pay attention to the signs sent from HIM. What better way to do this than by Fasting & Prayer. (Prayer and fasting are defined as voluntarily going without food to focus on prayer and fellowship with God. Prayer and fasting often go hand in hand…)
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 gives us a view to look at things from a self-centered perception or faith-based. Something I realized in this Bible chapter is that life will be life; we can’t control it. However, your perception of it is imperative; either enjoy it or hate it.
The truth is you don't forget. I don't forget. However, I try not to hold a grudge. Then again, when I am reminded, I may have a moment where I'm like, "Am I healed, or did I convince myself that I am healed?". See why I say Self-Pollination is a process.
Sometimes those dreams are warnings, signs, or messages. Other times you just need to tap into the spirit and see what you need to see, don't look in the natural. We may think we are going "crazy," but sometimes, in actuality, you're not.
I can admit as bad as it sounds when you choose Daddy, things are so damn difficult. When I wasn’t choosing Him, things felt easier. What’s the catch? When you don’t choose Him…you remain stuck. I found myself stuck and not moving no damn where!! Lesson learned.
I had to be broken, stripped of ALL my pride, had to fall (nice & hard) and I needed to get hurt/disappointed. I needed the whole process. Why? Simply because not only was I putting myself last and holding back, but ultimately, I was not including God in the things that mattered most.
Not literally, though, more so the way life throws different things at us and how we decide to handle the situation. Have you ever heard the saying, "He gives us mountains so we can go higher"? If not, then that is okay.
Self-care is more than just pampering yourself and going out on single dates. It’s not about lighting a candle and inhaling the lovely aroma (which I love doing). Sometimes it’s about feeding your spirituality.
self-development can be defined as "a person taking steps to better themselves in learning a new skill. Trying out new adventures or simply improving on bad habits and changing their ways for the greater good."Personal development is a lifelong process…
Self-respect is having confidence and respect for yourself, body, personal time, etc. Self-respect is loving yourself and being proud of who you are as an individual.
Self- care is self-compassion. It is focusing on yourself in a non-narcissistic way. Paying close attention to yourself and putting your needs and self before others. It's knowing who you are as an individual; this includes the ins and outs of you and your limits.
