#TheMorningShift: Where Shift Happens

Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out.  How you handle what happens to you says more about you than what is actually happening to you.  Therefore, it behooves us to respond maturely.  How mature are you? That's the question for the week. 

BONUS! I’m not afraid of failure. I’m afraid of being in this exact same place next year. This is what forces me to change, transform, and transition. (March, 2018)

BONUS! Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires and He will satisfy them fully! Continue striving to please God and there’s nothing that you will want for that He will not give to you. Let that encourage those who are just trying to do His will. Don’t apologize to people about being blessed! (March, 2019)

BONUS! When the figs have no fruit, no grapes on the vine, the olive crop fails, and the fields produce no grain, I am still going to have my joy! Even when things that I’ve prayed for do not happen, things that I’ve pursued, I don’t obtain, I choose to be grateful to God. (March, 2019)

(BONUS!) If you can't stop thinking about it, don't stop working for it! If a desire to do something has been weighing on your heart and you've reluctant to move, you gotta hear this message! (March, 2018)

Part Three of our FRUSTRATION series. When we fail to properly manage our frustrations, it can lead to toxicity in our relationships.  Don't move too swiftly through moments of frustration.  Pause.  Take a breath.  Manage your emotions.

BONUS! Anyone who meets a test and challenge head on and STICKS IT OUT is mighty fortunate!  Whatever you have to face today or this week, make the commitment to yourself to stick it out! You have what it takes! Let's go! (March, 2020)

Today, I commit to walking in an unveiled level of confidence.  I am going to drive today like I control it.  This message is sure to incite the confidence in you so that you can own your day.  Get a grip on it and control it.  You got this!

Part Four of our INTEGRITY series. BONUS! Everything is not going to go your way all of the time. Every person is not going to be with all of the time. Do not lower your standards for people who do not appreciate who you are. When things are going left, make sure that you do not compromise your integrity while under fire. (March, 2018)

Part Two of our FRUSTRATION series. When we get annoyed and irritated, it can birth a level of frustration that can lead to aggression. Yes, when we cannot get what we want, we have the tendency to become violent. It’s okay to be frustrated. It’s not okay to be aggressive.  Take a listen as I share how you can filter your frustration and avoid violent outbursts.

BONUS!  No matter what you are dealing with, your perspective is important. Beauty can come from ashes.  Happiness can come from pain.  Something good can always come out of something bad. Today, I will make every effort to see the positive in things and people. (March. 2020)

Part Three of our INTEGRITY series. BONUS! When we keep a clear conscience, those who speak against our good conduct will be ashamed of trying to slander our name. Many people can treat others wrong and still rest easy. That’s not good. If you are not bothered by your behavior, you have no integrity. People of integrity evaluate and analyze their personal conduct to ensure they can keep their cons...

BONUS! How have you been able to keep it together with all of the things that you’ve been through? In times when we couldn’t figure out what was going on, God was there for us. There’s no place that we can go that is out of His reach. We have to be honest, we never would have made it without Him. (March, 2019)

Part One of our FRUSTRATION series. When we have expectations that are not met, it makes way for frustration.  When have things that we want to achieve or things we want to change and cannot, we will get frustrated.  Listen as we dig into identifying what irritates us. 

BONUS! You cannot afford to let negative people interrupt and/or interfere with your positivity.  Stop letting people bring you stuff 5hat slows your momentum.  I may have listened in the past but I can't keep hearing this- I'm restructuring my life! (March, 2019).

BONUS! Part Two of the INTEGRITY Series. The question for today is how do you realistically classify yourself? Real or fake? Fake people are tolerated but real people are respected. Fake people are like pennies, two-faced and worthless. Your integrity is important and valuable. Choose wisely who you want to be. (March, 2018)

BONUS! Part One of the INTEGRITY series. Success without integrity is failure. When you are not maintaining a certain level of integrity at all times, your success will not be sustainable.  You are a representation of your speech and actions (March, 2018).

BONUS God is helping you in your troubles so that you can be of help to somebody else.  Don't let the Lord help you and you not be of help to somebody.  We cannot be selfish with what we have received from the Lord.  (March, 2019).

BONUS! God deliberately and intentionally chooses people that culture overlooks, exploits, and abuses to do what He wants done in the earth! He chooses NOBODYS to expose those who think they have arrived.  I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody about somebody! (March, 2020)

Part Four of our Baggage Series. Unpacking our baggage can be a difficult thing.  It's hard to get rid of an experience or an idea that has been a part of you and your life for a long time.  This message encourages you to EMPTY YOURSELF of what you don't need from your past experiences.  Before you go into your next relationship, empty yourself.  Before you go into your next ca...

Part Three in our Baggage series.   The FIRST step to getting what you want is getting rid of what you don’t NEED. You have to ask yourself, “What do I need from my past? From where I’ve been, what I’ve been through? Way too often we try to carry what God didn’t intend for us to carry. So when the baggage in your life gets too heavy, you gotta put it down!

Part Two of our Baggage Series.   It is one thing to acknowledge you have baggage, yet it is something completely different to claim or EXPRESS your baggage.  How do you feel about each piece of baggage that you are carrying? Answering this will help you understand how important it is for you to unpack it.  

BONUS! Contrary to popular belief, the goal of conflict resolution is not someone walking away with an I WON or YOU LOST testimony.  The goal is to come to an understanding and let go of the conflict.  Be empowered with this shift! (March, 2018)

BONUS! Your commitment is irritating to those who cannot make up their minds.  If you needed to know why they can't keep your name out of their mouth, here it is.  Commitment provokes persecution! Listen and be encouraged! (March, 2020).

BONUS! The only way that conflict can continue is that someone has to participate.  Someone has to carry out.   This message will encourage you to check yourself on how you deal with conflict.  Please make sure that you are not a carrier of conflict.  (March, 2018).
