MOVING UP HIGHER

*𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗘𝗔* ☕ *𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝟯𝟬 𝗝𝗨𝗡𝗘 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰*📆  *𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗨𝗣 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗘𝗥*⚓️ *𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬'𝗦 𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘*📖 You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come.  _*(Psalm 102:13, NKJV)*_ _*Psalm 102:13 KJV*_ Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. *𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬'𝗦 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗗*🍞 One thing I’ve learned in my life is that GOD likes to outdo Himself. His dream for your life is so much bigger than your own. His ways are higher, and He has an appointed time of favor for your life. He is going to take you places that you never thought possible. He is going to open up doors that you never have imagined. He’s going to bring talent out of you that you didn’t even know you had. This is the time to get excited about your future! It’s time to get your hopes up because you have been chosen by the Creator of the universe. Your destiny is not determined by the econom

I SURVIVE

 She never chose her journey and her life- it chose her instead. It was never a matter of what she wanted, but what she had to do to survive instead.

WORDS CAN POLLUTE OR PURFIED

 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗘𝗔 ☕ 𝗧𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝟮𝟱 𝗝𝗨𝗡𝗘 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰  𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗦 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗘 𝗢𝗥 𝗣𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗙𝗬⚓️ 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬'𝗦 𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘📖 Let no foul or polluting language...come out of your mouth.  (Ephesians 4:29, AMPC) Ephesians 4:29 KJV Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth... 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬'𝗦 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗗🍞 Your words have the power to pollute or purify. If you constantly complain, you release poison into your life. Complaining is not based on your circumstances, it's based on the attitude of your heart. If you will keep the right attitude during your time of adversity, GOD will honor you. When you truly trust GOD, there are times you will have unanswered questions - don't let that keep you from fulfilling your destiny. When you have a heart full of gratitude, it leaves no room for complaining. You can always find something to thank GOD for no matter what kind of adversity you may face in life. So decide today to live a life of thanksgiving!

KEEP YOUR CIRCLE SMALL

 KEEP YOUR CIRCLE SMALL with A Short Valuable Story A young girl asked an elderly woman:  "Do I really need friends in life?" The elderly woman responded: "Yes. Life is truly very rough. There should be someone by your side with whom you can talk for hours without feeling that they would judge you; on whose shoulders you can cry, one who will give you emotional support. When no one will be there for you, they should be there. One who should help you share the good times and overcome the difficult ones." The young girl asked: "Is it true that a fake friend is more dangerous than an enemy?" The elderly woman responded: "Yes. It's because you know who your enemy is and you're not going to let them get close to you. But a false friend is pretending while getting your trust. They find out your vulnerabilities, your secrets and your dreams. They know which button to press and how to stab you in the back." The young girl asked:  "How do I a

HANDS LIFTED UP!

Moses was on a hill overlooking the battlefield, holding up a staff of GOD in the air, interceding for them. What Joshua didn’t realize in the midst of the battle was that the only reason he was winning was because Moses was holding up his hands with the help of two others. Without Moses doing his part, the Israelites would have been defeated. Your

You desire God's methods but reject His guidelines. You erected metal barriers around your house as a safeguard, but you want God to provide everything without following His instructions.

I AM DIFFERENT

 Maybe you looked around one day and felt disappointed. Perhaps you thought your life would be different and you’d have done more of the things you originally wanted to do. Maybe you sacrificed some dreams to pursue other choices. There’s a time to ask yourself “what if” and then there’s a time to step back and enjoy the life you’ve built. Every journey has detours and each dream has some twists and turns. That doesn’t mean you still can’t do all the things you’ve wanted. Perhaps instead of living in the future, the possibilities and the tomorrows, start finding joy in today and the life that you have. There’s always beauty in the moments if you open your heart and just be present. Instead of focusing what you don’t have, what you haven’t done and where you haven’t been, recognize the blessings that you do have. The people that love you unconditionally. The places you’ve been. The laughter and the tears, the joy and the sorrows.. Your life story is ever changing and always amazing..if

I KNOW MY WORTH

 I learned my worth the hard way a long time ago. Nothing has ever come easy for me and I’ve fought to become the person that I am today.. So, when I say I know my worth, I’ve paid for it dearly.. In countless broken hearts, dead end relationships and lessons learned the hard way. Sure, there were times when I wished my journey was a little easier or things went my way more often, But I’ve learned that everything happens for a reason.. And everything I’ve been through helped me forge a strength that won’t die and a belief in myself that no one can ever take away from me. So, when I tell you that I’m a keeper, I’m not just talking to hear myself talk.. I truly believe that about myself. I’m a keeper- One of the beautifully deep and passionately fiery souls that pour all of themselves into everything they do and everyone they love. So, I’m standing here telling you that you have the chance to love me. Not on your terms or mine, but with mutual respect, communication and love. I’ll never

SLACK -JAWED

 *MORNING TEA* *SLACK-JAWED* *JUNE  20, 2024* *TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:* Make a show of how much you love me so the bullies who hate me will stand there slack-jawed... *PSALM 86:17, MSG* **TODAY’S WORD* David knew what it was to have opposition. His brothers ridiculed him. His father discounted him. When David told King Saul he wanted to fight Goliath, Saul thought he was kidding. When Goliath saw David, he laughed. What's interesting is that David could have defeated the giant warrior in a valley with no one around, but there are times when God will bring you out in public so people who are for you and those who are against you will see firsthand the favor on your life.  With the opposing armies watching on opposite mountainsides, when David dropped Goliath dead, their jaws dropped in disbelief. Instantly, David had respect, honor, and influence. As with David, there are times when God is going to prove to people who you are. He's going to help you accomplish what you couldn't a

Reflection of a ravenwolf dawn (C)

 I know things have been hard lately and you’ve been struggling to keep your head above water. One thing after another has worn you down, beaten you up and left you mentally exhausted. Hang in there. It doesn’t storm forever, though I know it may feel like it never stops. You reach the end of your days simply weary, laying in bed worried about the endless things on your mind. Stop and take a deep breath. You’re going to get through all of this- you always have, because you’re still here, still standing. I know you may feel like you don’t have time for yourself, but I’m telling you that have to make a little time when you can for yourself- To unwind, to stop and breathe, to rest your soul. Taking the fifteen minutes for yourself every day can be a life changer. You can stop surviving your days and start thriving instead. Stop beating yourself up for messing up, not being able to do everything or be there for everyone. You’re one person, and you’re doing the best you can. On the way to b

LIONESS

 I know you woke up this morning not feeling your best, but that’s okay. Everyone has down days that make you want to stay in bed. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? You’ve been carrying the weight of the world for far too long, haven’t you? Most of the things you carry- guilt, sadness, regret- were never yours to carry. Let it go. I know it’s hard- it always lingers in the back of your mind and seems to put a damper on a lot of things. But you’ve got to start unpacking that baggage that has been weighing you down or you’ll never be able to find your wings and fly. Now, I’m not saying it’s going to be easy or that it will be painless, because it won’t be. You’ll never be able to open your heart and soul to new possibilities if they’re cluttered with yesterday’s emotions. Let it go, you’ve been holding onto it too long. You didn’t deserve what happened to you, but you can’t change it. It’s time to make peace with the things that still trouble you and hurt your heart. It’s so much harder

VICTORY ✌

Word for the day and night   The Lord says, When you feel down or discouraged ,be proactive. Put all outward things, circumstances, and priorities in their place. Outward focus or looking for satisfaction from anything external to you is self-defeating. Your worth and the meaning of your life arises from who you are in Me. Turn to the kingdom I have placed on the inside of you. Know that righteousness, peace, and joy proceeds from My throne and My presence in your life and not any other thing. Your emotions, like spoiled children, will never – ever accept anything other than outward distraction or titillation. Put the soul man in check and draw from the wells of salvation that will refresh you and lift you out of desperation to a new place of hope and joyful expectation. Victory !

LIFT THE FALLEN!!

 *MORNING TEA*☕ *WEDNESDAY 12 JUNE  2024  LIFT THE FALLEN⚓️ TODAY’S SCRIPTURE 📖 Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. (Luke 10:34, NLT) Luke 10:34 KJV And (the Samaritan) went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. *TODAY’S WORD*🍞 *JESUS* told the story of the Good Samaritan who saw a man on the side of the road beaten and left for dead. He put him on his donkey and took him to a place where he could recover. You’re never more like GOD than when you help hurting people. One of our assignments in life is to help wipe away the tears. Are you sensitive to others’ needs? Many times, behind the smile is a person who’s hurting, alone, and in turmoil. When someone is struggling, reach out. Be a healer. Be a restorer. Your job is not to judge, or to fi

STRONG WOMAN

 💥From Struggles to Strength: My Journey of Resilience💥 I know everyone has their own story, and mine is no different. While there may be more dramatic tales of tragedy and triumph out there, my struggles and achievements are no less significant. People might not find my journey particularly remarkable, but they weren't there to walk beside me through the hard times and battles I faced. 🚵 I understand the sacrifices I made and the price I paid💰to get where I am today. That's what matters most to me: remembering where I started and how far I've come. The challenges that once threatened to overwhelm me no longer do because I've learned to use that pain and struggle to fuel my passion and drive. 🚀 I do this for myself and the people I love. 👨🏽‍👩‍👧‍👦 Each day, I manage to take care of others while still finding moments for my own reflection and peace. There's no need for fanfare or trophies for what I do; I choose this path and this life, and I'll keep cho

MORNING TEA

 *MORNING TEA*☕ *SATURDAY  6 JUNE 2024*📆  *BE A DAVID*⚓️ *TODAY’S SCRIPTURE*📖 I will defend this city and save it, for my sake and for the sake of David my servant. _*(2 Kings 19:34, NIV)*_ _*2 Kings 19:34 KJV*_ For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. *TODAY’S WORD*🍞 Over three hundred years after David died, eight generations later, his descendant King Hezekiah and the city of Jerusalem were surrounded by a huge Assyrian army. It looked as though Hezekiah was done, but GOD sent an angel who destroyed 185,000 of the enemy troops. In a split second the army was defeated and the nation was saved. I can imagine Hezekiah asking, “GOD, what did I do to deserve this favor?” GOD answered, in effect, “Hezekiah, it wasn’t anything you did. It was for the sake of my servant David. He stored up mercy for you three hundred years ago. You’re walking in the blessing that he deposited into your account.”  Be a David. Start a blessing. You ca

Yes Lord

 I know that everyone has a story and I’m no different. I’m sure there are worse tales of tragedy and triumph, but that doesn’t diminish my struggles or take away from my accomplishments. Maybe people won’t think that my journey isn’t all that remarkable, but they didn’t walk beside me during those hard times and fight the battles that tried to take me down. I know the price I paid to get where I am and the sacrifices I made along the way.. And that’s what matters most to me: Remembering where I started and how far I’ve come. The fires that tried to burn down my life don’t overwhelm me anymore because I learned to use that pain and strife to fuel my passions and spark my drive. I do this for me and the people I love. I find a way every day to do all the things for everyone else and still have a little left over for me to enjoy a few moments of contemplative introspection. There’s no fanfare or trophy for what I do and there doesn’t have to be. I choose this path and this life… And I’ll

No more Excuses

 It's time to shed our excuses and embrace our true potential. Let's stop making justifications for our unhappiness and take concrete steps towards achieving our dreams. We are not limited by our past or circumstances, but rather empowered by our resilience and determination.

STRONG WOMAN!!

 If you thought you knew who she was when you met her, think again. She might look like other women, but on the inside, she’s so very different that it would shock you. She’ll smile, be courteous and always be warm as she engages you, but make no mistake, if you push her just a little too far, You will see a side of her that you’ll never forget.. And you might just regret. She’s not who she is because she wanted to be, but because life chose her path for her. She didn’t want to struggle, fight and scrap just to survive her days..but that’s the road she’s travelled. Broken and bruised, she wanted to give up so many times. When you suffer long enough, eventually your soul grows weary.. And that’s where she was for so long- tired and lost. She didn’t know how to pick herself back up and couldn’t find the light for the darkness that surrounded her. But it wasn’t those moments of struggle that defined her- just the opposite. No, she dug herself out of the hole and clawed her way back out of

MORNING TEA 🍵

 *𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗘𝗔* ☕ 𝙃𝘼𝙋𝙋𝙔 𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝙈𝙊𝙉𝙏𝙃 𝙊𝙁 𝙅𝙐𝙉𝙀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝘼 𝙂𝙇𝙊𝙍𝙄𝙊𝙐𝙎 𝙈𝙊𝙉𝙏𝙃 𝙄𝙏 𝙎𝙃𝘼𝙇𝙇 𝘽𝙀 𝙄𝙉 𝙅𝙀𝙎𝙐𝙎' 𝙉𝘼𝙈𝙀  *𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝟭 𝗝𝗨𝗡𝗘 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰*📆  *𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡*⚓️ *𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬'𝗦 𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘*📖 The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the *Son of GOD*,” he said, “throw yourself down from here.”  _*(Luke 4:9, NIV)*_ _*Luke 4:9 KJV*_ And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the *Son of GOD*, cast thyself down from hence: *𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬'𝗦 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗗*🍞 The enemy wanted *JESUS* to show how powerful He really was, to impress the people at the temple. But Jesus wouldn’t use His power for the wrong motives, just to bring attention to Himself. Before He was crucified, He said, “I could have called ten thousand angels to save Me, but I’m not living to prove who I am. I’m living to fulfill My purpose.”

I HAVE THE RIGHT 👉 TO BE SELFISH

I possess the right to be selfish in my life. Now, I have the right to run my race for my own benefit, since when I was doing it for others, they were doing it for themselves. While I was elevating others, they were covertly conspiring against me. Therefore, I must run my race for myself and see it through my own eyes, because when I was doing it for them, they were doing it for their own benefit. I nourished individuals who secretly wished I would starve, while I was bringing life to them. They covertly desired my demise, hence I am entitled to be selfish now. I assisted individuals in achieving their dreams while they plotted my downfall. Therefore, as I run my race, I must see it through for myself, since when I was seeing it for others, they sought my failure. Thus, I run my race for My God and me!
