A Godly Reminder To You!

I don’t know about you, but I am excited about what is to come this year. Before I see a manifestation of something, I am giddy with excitement as though it as already happened. Why? Because I have enough faith and power to believe that all good things that are in alignment with my purpose shall and will come to pass?  But I also know that I have to do my part too. So, while I am in overdrive on faith, I know that I need to be in overdrive with my actions as well. I mean sure, God can LITTERLY drop a blessing, an opportunity, an open window in our laps, but I think He wants us to put forth some action before He begins to drop a thing!

I know that it is a new year and many of you are gung ho about your resolutions and goals to get them done! Often times we miss the mark when it comes to God and what He provides for us. We sometimes want to do a “lap dance” for God when it comes to blessings. We dance around the way we THINK He would want us to, just so He can throw some blessings our way. You and I both know that God doesn’t operate like that. He wants our full attention, our heart, our mind, our Spirits to be in direct alliance with the direction He wants us to go.

Ask yourself – are the passions that you are on fire for, burning more than your relationship with God? I know that we have a lot going on that we are trying to do – live out dreams, start a business, take care of a family, serve in ministry, etc. But how well will that prosper if the one who instilled you with those dreams is coming in last place in your list of priorities?

Listen – I am not saying that we can’t have it all and do all – I know I have a HUGE amount of things that I intend to accomplish – but keep in mind that HE needs to stay on top of your mind. Include HIM in every aspect of your life. Every decision that you need to make, consult Him first. He will never steer you the wrong way. Let your relationship with Him shine, just as it did they day you first fell in love with Him. Rekindle your flame that once shined so brightly! I promise you—GOD is going to blow your mind, fill you will a great deal of wisdom, discernment, opportunity, and favor along your path!

Be Thankful - You are Blessed, No Matter What!

It is one full day left in 2012. Many of you have had some good times, some miracles, some breakthroughs in your life. You would say that 2012 has been the bomb.com. BUT, there are some…who believed for all those good times, those miracles, and those breakthroughs in life, and for some reason or another…they have been extremely far and few between, or….they just have not happened.

Whether you were riding high or crawling low, there is one thing that you should be. That is THANKFUL.

No matter what situation you may have faced…you are still HERE. You still have purpose intertwined within you, with every breath that you take. There were many, many people, who thought they would see 2013, but destiny had other plans in their lives.

We are a blessed people, no matter what. Remember that. If you had a successful year, praise God for even greater things to come. If you had a lackluster year, praise God that he gave you the “tweaking anointing” to review and revamp some things in your life that will take you to that next level living you have prayed about. If your year has been the worst in your life thus far – still praise God. There is lesson in the mess, that He wants you to learn, so it can turn around into a blessing.

I challenge you not to kick this year to the curb, and to look for the good in the simplest things that we often take for granted. If you are in decent health, have a roof over your head, gainfully employed, have loving family, and serve an awesome God…then you are in the upper echelon of being blessed.

 Take those things that were not as good as it could have been and make them the best they can be in 2013. Increase your prayer life. Love on God JUST BECAUSE of who HE is. Renew and strengthen your covenant with Him. Seek AND include God in ALL your plans, and allow Him to provide feedback. Be obedient in whatever HE says do, not everyone else.

I am praying for GREAT and MIGHTY things for your life in 2013. It has been a pleasure to serve you with doses of motivation and inspiration in 2012 and I look forward to a greater outpouring to come! May all that you have endeavored to do is fulfilled and is blessed. See you in 2013!
