I borrowed a book from my aunt on Monday by Joyce Meyer that really interested me on my journey in becoming a devoted Christian. My goal is to be filled with the Love of God by the Word and not continue my life in anger and pain. In order to do this I must make time a priority for my studies so today I watched the videos that were included with the book. It was one of Joyce Meyers seminars about the Mind and the importance of our thoughts. These are just the notes I jotted down on notepad so I can remember when I look on them.

Controlling what we think about.
What has been on My Mind lately..

• The current relationship I'm in..
• The feelings of Anger and Sadness
• Hopelessness
• Impatience
  

Proverbs 4:23 tells us:

guard your heart with all diligence (over and over again) for out of it flows the issue of LIFE..A specific life he died for us to have.
Be careful about your thoughts thoughts create your attitudes.
the devil will try and inject wrong thoughts into your mind everyday. Keep the door closed.
My determined purpose is to know him..Paul..dissapointments tragedy's through Christ we can find a place to live here but live above the mess.
What the devil intends for my harm God intends for my good. Things might be bad now but in the future good will make it Good.
Everything about the Lord is up..Everything about the devil is Down.
Becareful of what you think and what you say while your The attitude that we have while were in the wilderness determines how long were going to be there
Complain and remain Praise and you will be raised.
Empty space is a place. Stay involved in helping other people. Important to be in some kind of service to others. Stay bust serving and helping one another. 2 Corinthians 10
For the weapons of our warfare are not physical weapons of flesh and blood. they are might before God for the overthrow.."
Read and study the bibgle in educating yourself. we look for the experienced people. Learn the bible and apply it to your life. When a thought comes in that doesn't agree with the bible thats when you kno its LIE..deception..you cast down the imagination and theories..you bring everythough captive to Jesus.
if your thinking one thing and speaking something it interupts the thought. when your thinking the wrong things speak the right things and it will interupt.
Jeremiah 29:11..the bible says that I can let go of whats behind.."
the devil tries to deceive people..thinking its true when its really not true.. if your thoughts are hopeless your going to be hopeless..
your victory is not based on a past generation. James 4:7..Submit yourself to God..Resist the devil..and you will be free..
Wake up and be a blessing..No matter how frusterated or depressed..
There are times in our life when we just cant talk about it anymore. Our problems.
The devil sets us up to get mad before anything ever happens.. Sets us up in a rage.
We have a spirit of self control. Because the spirit of God is dwelling within us. Devil you are a liar & you are not going to steal from me anymore.
Whever I am at right there I don't have to stay there I can make progress.
2 Corinthians 3:18..
Somethings we have to hear over and over and over again.my sins can all be forgiven through repentance. Daily discipline.
Luke chapter 4:1..Jesus was following the holy spirit when satan attacked him..2 times when the devil will come after you your doing something right and wrong.
You will not be able to stand up against the lies of the devil if you are tired and stressed out.
Your body is the one you live in and if you ruin it you have to leave. if you destroy your body your out..God lives in you..
people don't take care of themselves because they have a bad attitude about themselves.
John 10:10
Luke 4:3
if God loves you then why do you have these problems" the devil will attack your identidy..steal your confidence and have your life.
you need to know that you have been made right through the eyes of God.
Tempted works of the flesh..ways that will get rid of our problems trying different things..then we go to God..after all of this.. First line of defence should always be prayer.
Luke 4:4.."It is written"
If you don't have peace about don't you do it..Don't do anything you don't have peace about.
Everytime the devil said something to Jesus, Jesus IMMEDIATELY said something back to him.."It is written"..
1 Peter 5:9..
you can't be pitiful and powerful at the same time. You can't have the power to rise above it if you feel sorry for yourself.
You might feel like your feeling sorry for yourself but it's not going to get over the problem.
Stop sitting around cause nobody else is helping you and do it for yourself.
David encouraged himself in the Lord.
When you have a need sow a seed. and do something for somebody else.
We have Weapons the WORD is a weapon..Praise and Worship is a weapon..
Being thankful is part of Praise and Worship.
everything god does for you and things that go right..Say Thank you. Thank you for my family, Food in my fridge, for a new day.
Think less and thank more.
we think about everything thats wrong we think about every mistake weve made all day. instead of thanking god for the blessing and the forgiveness of our sins. make mistakes theres hope for us to change.

I stayed home from school today because when I looked outside the world didn't seem to inviting. It's rainy, cold, and windy. Not my cup of tea. Although this whole week didn't invite me rainy or clear skies. I wanted to hide this whole week and come outside my shell when the negativity has passed. It still hasn't. I could try harder. To be honest though, I've been avoiding my blog life because I am so urgently trying to get myself to write something that inspires not only myself but others. Something beautifully poetic and wonderful, but the words won't allow themselves to pour out of my soul. Maybe this is due to the face that I haven't been feeling well lately. My heart is not opening. I feel closed off.

Anyways Miss negativity BE POSITIVE.
Let me see now I'm listening to some pretty dope music right now. NEO-SOUL is what I Love.
Found some new artists I've never heard of such as Leela James. She has a unique voice I like it.

I always wished I had an amazing voice so I could be a singer. I been researching and I think i'm going to take the path of a midwife. Delivering babies and being a mothers emotional support. I figure this job will alow my hearts Compassion Shine.

Coward

I feel my thoughts are on auto control. My mind is not at all disciplined enough to ignore the things that come through one ear and out the other and lately it's really been doing a number on Me! Why am I letting the negativity of the world account for my happiness or sadness?
It's not circumstances I myself have personally experienced, not the bullsh*t teenagers most give all their time and energy over, (although I have experienced this crap as well).. I is the atmosphere in which I am living. The Un-Godly World! The drama I'm viewing daily. My Soul My Life the Love I have for myself My faith and trust in God. I feel that it is hard to escape the cruelties of this world especially when you are a sensitive young woman trying to find herself. It feels like putting together the most complicating puzzle in the world.

Something that I am certain of is through *His* eyes I am an innocent child of God. Not the undecided woman who doesn't know who she is. Feelings of insecurities do not ponder in *His* mind because he knows I am perfect through him. Where as I see myself being cloned into what the world programs me to be. In other words A spitting image of my fellow being. In my heart I know I am unique, worthy and strong enough to face the battles that God wants me to overcome but I feel like the cowardly lion shaking when it is time to face my battle.

Lately I have been feeling my Spirit calling on me to act Righteousness and Good. It is SO hard to be this way especially in an atmosphere where Fear, Hate, Ignorance, and Judgement is all thrown into the pot. To end intimate relationships with those who do not feed the goodness in my life and to let go of physical desires and attractions. I constantly find myself thinking negatively and desiring materialistic possessions and artificial emotions because I am so scared to trust in this spirit that is reminding me day-by-day to put down the shield that is guarding my heart and to trust in *His* Love to shelter me from harm.

I always bring myself to thinking of Jesus and how the "Crowd" was so Vile in treating him. I Cannot imagine how Jesus must have felt when he was treated so harshly at the time of his death. Dying for the sinners who abandon him, beat him, stripped him, laughed at him. Through Love he forgave them and died for *My* sins. So Why Is it so hard to die for my own?

I guess I am a coward, But I do know that I have Courage running through my veins because God is calling on me through the spirit for a reason. He is constantly in the back of my mind reminding me that I must pray, act in goodness, feed my spirit, meditate, love my enemies, and let go of certain circumstances and relationships.

I do not know what God's plan is for me and at times I do not feel the spirit running through me although I know it is there because I can feel it when I am acting in such a way that consoles the spiritual nature of myself. My struggles lie within ignoring God because my EGO-tistical nature is leading me into the paths of what I want to do and when I want to do it. But God never gives up on me because in the back of my mind I know that he wants me to serve him in a way that I know pleases him and I. Sometimes I do not even know where to begin. So personal renewal begins with my actions in dedicating myself to the one who I owe it all to, for the one who cares most, and Loves me in a way that I will never be loved here on Earth by No Man. I Wish more people would see how urgent it is to dedicate our lives over to *His* will is and to walk in his footsteps. We would all be living with feelings of fullness and Unconditional Love and in the end isn't that what everyone Seeks?

Inspiring Quotes

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be
Lao Tzu

What I find to be very bad advice is the snappy little sentence, ‘Write what you know.’ It is the most tiresome and stupid advice that could possibly be given. If we write simply about what we know we never grow. We don’t develop any facility for languages, or an interest in others, or a desire to travel and explore and face experience head-on. We just coil tighter and tighter into our boring little selves. What one should write about is what interests one.

Annie Proulx

Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny…

Frank Outlaw

Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us. In the end, writers will write not to be outlaw heroes of some underculture but mainly to save themselves, to survive as individuals.

Don Delillo

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

Mother Teresa

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.

Anne Lamott

The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.

Charlotte Bronte

If someone asked for my recipe for happiness, step one would be finding out what you love doing most in the world and step two would be finding someone to pay you to do it. I consider myself very lucky indeed to be able to support myself by writing.

Pretty Things

Beautiful.

Currently: listening to some Yolanda Adams &
Inspired by FAMILY.

I really pray to have a beautiful family someday. To complete my life and make me happy. Someone to Love me for the rest of my life. Someone who won't give up on me or make me cry. Someone who will treat me with kindness and affection. Someone who will believe in me. A man who loves God and prays to him regularly. Someone who inspires me. Who moves me. Who Loves me for who I am.Someone who won't break my heart but will hold on to it tightly and treat it as a precious piece of glass sure not to shatter it. A man who I can Trust. Someone who will never Leave my side.
Growing up without my dad there I missed this loving family tradition I've always wanted deep within my heart. I yearn to feel this kind of love a Strong Godly family has to offer. with a husbands love for his wife. She will do anything for her husband. While praising God. The children will be wise and whole. They will not feel so alone. Sad. They will be comforted by the Spirit they are shown in the household. I wish I was raised in this household. Maybe I wouldn't have felt so lonely and depressed most of my days. Maybe I would have been a completely different person. I know I would have.

Diva

Random pics I found while browsing the Internet of my girl Alicia Keys & Whitney Houston looking absolutely Stunning! I really love that blue on Miss Keys her outfit is very flattering to her figure. She's so beautiful & unique. I give props to Whitney for recovering and getting clean of the drugs. She seems happy now and I've always loved miss Diva. Both my favs in the music industry.

This is beautiful. Read it to the end. The message is awesome!!!

By T.D. Jakes

There are people who can walk away from you.

And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.

Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.. You've got to know when it's dead.

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something.. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye.. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.

Let them go!!

'The Battle is the Lord's!'

During the next 60 seconds, Stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity..

(Literally it is only ONE minute!)

All you have to do is the following:

You simply say 'The Lords Prayer' for the person that sent you this message:

The Lords Prayer

Our Father, who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever.

Amen.

Next, send this message to everyone you know. In a while, more people will have prayed for you and you would have obtained a lot of people praying for others!

Next, stop and think and appreciate God's power in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to Him.


If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the instructions!

Jesus said, If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before My Father'

If you are not ashamed, send this message.... only if you believe.

'Yes, I love my God. He is my fountain of Life and My Savior.

He Keeps me going day and night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do everything, Christ is my strength.' This is a simple test.

If you love God and you are not ashamed of all the great things that He has done for you, send this to everyone you know.

God loves you and watches over you everyday.
