#TheMorningShift: Where Shift Happens

There is no doubt that we are going to encounter various challenges throughout our lives.  Our focus should be being able to encounter and overcome.  You cannot change what is going to happen to you so be prepared to overcome whatever it is.

Life is not what you are given, it is about what YOU can create for yourself.  Whatever it is that you want from the day, want for yourself, create it!

BONUS! It's hard to admit when you are stubborn.  Here I am typing this description and tickled because it is sooooo true.  Listen as I dive into myself. Ha! (JUNE, 2018).

When a person continues to love after they have been hurt, people have a tendency to consider them weak.  What they fail to recognize is that it takes a strong heart to continue to love after you have been hurt.  It's strength.  Not weakness.

BONUS!!  That temper you have can stand a lil' adjusting at times.  Maintaining your cool in difficult and trying times is a must. (JUNE, 2019)

Sometimes God will allow us to go through tough seasons and heartbreaks to save that part of us that lasts forever.

Keeping your mind right has to be a priority for you.  Don't allow what others are doing or saying affect how you think and move.  

BONUS! Worrying about tomorrow is not healthy.  Worrying robs us of the strength of the moment, the peace of the minute, and the joy of the day.  Don't worry, be happy! (JUNE, 2018).

BONUS! You have a good heart.  You love helping people. Have you ever wondered if you were still helping or if you were being used? Some people will take advantage of those whose hearts are intent on helping.  Be mindful. (JUNE, 2018)

BONUS! SMART people know how to keep QUIET 🤫 about what they KNOW.  Stupid people Advertise their IGNORANCE. (June 2019)

In a time when there is so much unrest and exposure of hatred and racism, I encourage you to continue to affect your surroundings with kindness!

Even though we encounter and experience defeats, we are not defeated!

BONUS! Sometimes things don't happen the way we have planned.  It is imperative to your sanity to be patient with the delays of life and trust that when God wants them to happen, they will.  (June 2018)

It is our roots that protect us from disease, from defeat, from depression.  

Don't let your roots die.  They not only benefit you and the people you are around, but the place that you are in! Bless where you've been planted!

There are some things in our lives that have rotted our roots.  Today, we discuss how important it is to stand the pain long enough to deal with what's deep within us.

How deep are your roots? It's important that your roots be able to support your how high you go (height) and and how big you get (weight).

BONUS! You can be in a relationship, thriving in your sexual intimacy, and yet withering away emotionally.  To maximize the potential of success in our lives, we have to get over being emotionally dishonest!  We must stop manipulating our emotions...lying about how we really feel to make ourselves look more appealing to others, yet withering inside! (June 2019)

In a dark time, and at all times, you have the right to exercise your spiritual freedom. Let your light shine.  Don't let what others say or do put out or diminish what God has lit. 

Do you ever get tired of trying to force your way into relationships or working hard to form relationships that end up in epic failure? Me too.  Check it out,

Many people have different platforms to do their "work".  There are platforms of politics, influence, wealth, and then there is the platform of power, PRAYER.  Not everyone has the political platform but the platform of prayer has been given freely to all.

It's not abnormal to look at what other's are doing and desire to have the same influence, platform, or results.  Yet, when we neglect what and who we have been called to be and do, it's a major catastrophe.  Don't neglect YOUR lane, your gift, your calling.....Use what you got.

BONUS! There is a great distance from punishment to hope, but nothing surmountable.  Be encouraged as I shed some light on this journey. (2018)

Anxiety weighs down our hearts and robs us of our happiness.  Join me as I encourage you how to be concerned but not consumed. May 28, 2020.
