Appointed

Appointed- Means ( Of a time or place) decided on beforehand: designated. examples...scheduled, arranged, set, fixed authorized.

On the other hand...


Anointing- Means to rub, or sprinkle on: apply an urgent, ointment , or oily liquid to.

Seemingly, there is a difference.  Both hold value, but The Anointing breaks the yoke.   I rather be anointed by God, verses being appointed by man.

Focus

So let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision-you'll see it yet!

Phillippians 3:15-21



Breathe this word, until you trust it. Say it over and over in  your mind. Whatever, you have been entrusted with, know that it's rightfully yours, Nonetheless, this is the key you have to embrace your journey, with great expectancy. This is the way to Destiny. Be committed to the work. Release any distraction, let the worldly ways be put aside. Allow the Lord to clear your path.  Your way will be made straight.  This is the word , and it is good.

Stay Encourage

Did you come this far to give up!  Did you go through trials and tribulations and make it out? If, your answer was yes, you have no choice, you must continue, it would be worthless to lose it all. Someone need your gifts, because no one else can do it like you .

Trusting

See, there will times, when you will be so upset, the decisions you made were far from the decisions you should have made.  but, this is the key. Go back and regroup. Structure that process out. Get rid of the "Thorns". Ok, "The Thorns" could be.... A bad relationship, distraction, low-self esteem, lack of resources.,  so -called friends, etc. Nonetheless, if you keep your eyes on the prize, and keep moving in the struggle. Eventually, "You Win". Take your eyes off people. Place your eyes on "Jesus". This is full of Grace.

I am " Trusting"

What about you?

Forgiveness

Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ forgave you.

Just in case your holding on to a grudge, ask yourself is it worth it?  Is someone worth your dreams and visions and purpose. Have you allowed man to validate your existence? Ok, better yet; something got in the way, of your passion and your drive. Was it betrayal ? was it a thief?  You shared your thoughts and visions and someone else, presented them as their own. Ok, this is it, first your'e going to forgive.This may be be a little hard at first,  I want you to breathe your way through it.  but understand this, it may take a while, but if your willing , you will succeed. Let's rewind, go back with me. Look over the vision, mission, purpose, plan,  and say to your self , I got the Genuine Copy. Now feel good about that, be kind to your enemy, love them and forgive them."Now with that being said, work your plan".  I will see you on the frontline.

Stay encourage your almost there.

Purpose

Let your life be with  The Lord completely.  Don't fret today, be persistent, knowing that your gift will make room for you. See, you ! Yes You!. You were bought with a price. Saved and fashioned  for such a time as this, and guess what? No one can do it like you. That's right . Your purpose has a genuine seal. A seal that can't be duplicated.  Only, the master can open that seal. See, it's fashioned with care, you were chosen with care. Once again, don't fret. Let them run in vain. Know your worth this day. You was bought with a precious price (Jesus). He hasn't given up on you.  So with that being said bow down in "Humility" and "Humble " yourself. Your almost there. Grace kept you.  Be filled with the truth.

faith

Well, to pursue a matter requires, much diligence, patient, faith, and confidence, nonetheless, we are who we believe we are. How long does it take Gold to be refined? Exactly, that's how long it will take the purpose to be fulfilled. I guess , I realized it wasn't about me. Be patient, keep moving, have faith, and don't forget, anything great takes a little struggle. Keep believing,

Birthday Wishes

OK, Please forgive me! My Birthday was yesterday. I wasn't focused on me. I know this sounds sort of  strange but its the truth. I got so many gifts, I was so in awe! but a part of me , was calm. I guess my focused was on helping others. I couldn't take my mind of this lady , I had the pleasure of meeting, It may have been a story I was reading.

Anyway, the story was a short clip,  It started with this Lady going out to be good to herself, she went to purchase three dozen of roses, and she decided to buy white chocolate and a delicate drink, and some beautiful vases for her flowers,  she had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful lady, that complimented her roses. Little to say, they became friends that day,The  Lady with all the beautiful gifts , looked into the lady eyes and noticed pain, instantly she said, what do you do to make yourself happy, the lady answered, I am  not sure, because I have no one to be good to me. So, the Lady, responded by saying , be good to you and good will follow, and you will be able to be good to others.  So, without a thought , The Lady shared her flower and a beautiful vase with the lady.  And not only did joy come to her heart, so did deliverance.

Point made:

Remember to treat other as you want to be treated. What have done to someone, that you don't desire for you?

I realized something on my birthday. Not, only Am I Blessed. I am a Blessing. Know your worth.  Your oil will never be substituted. Your a genuine. Truly, love someone today.

Authenticity- The quality of being authentic.

There is no carbon copy of you.

Marriage

What a beautiful union. Marriage is sacred and full of beauty, it's also full of ashes. To all the ones, that may be waiting on the perfect love, I want you to scratch your head and take a deep breathe, because you won't get a perfect prize, you will get a puzzle. Yes, a maze. A journey, that requires, love, peace, patience, hope, long suffering, and so much more.You may just get the  "Garden"  All marriages aren't ordained by God. Some are ordained by man. A word of advice, if your going through right now. But, you know you love your spouse, don't, well, if you need to separate, go ahead, but, make some vows and promises to each other. I have a friend that was going through,  I  got her permission to share this. She was going through a difficult time with her husband. So, they decided to separate, so they could join back together.

But, this wasn't the case. See, when you separate from your spouse , you need to have a concrete agreement. They didn't. That's right. See, they wasn't experiencing abuse, or infidelity, just mere differences.  Let me give you a pointer, something like this...... Come to an agreement to use the private time to analyze yourself and seek God face. Nonetheless, this isn't always the case. We get vulnerable and we move before the healing come, so temptation arise, we run in before the deliverance take place. Some marriages are destroyed, because someone was impatient. All marriages were n't destroyed based of this thing we call infidelity.   Some were destroyed because they thought the grass was greener on the other side. Stay hopeful people. 

Patience

The name of the Lord is a Strong tower....... The Righteous run in and they are saved!  God will finish what he started. No matter what. He will.

That's it.

William McDowell , thank you for that song.

Union

Mark 10:19

Therefore what God has joined together , let no one separate.

Afternoon Insight,

I love this scripture. I realized I  didn't share my Anniversary thoughts.  This is what I wrote, and shared with my family and a  few friends. I wrote.

Morning Celebration:

This morning is dear to me, so is every morning. Just being grateful for each and everyday. I ponder on his promises for those that truly love him, this is great. I remember living in such agony , pain, and confusion, not knowing which way to turn. I  was full of hope, but yet so broken,  I knew that the Lord was there for me, and patience was his desire for me, I knew that I had to fully trust in him alone, see nothing else was fulfilling my appetite. As I ponder and wait, I tossed and turned, not knowing when my break through would come.  I realized ,I  had to give it to the Lord. My hands became unchangeable. I no longer wanted , what the world wanted. I didn't feel lonely because Jesus was right by my side.

Before my King came to me, yes, he found me. Literally two decades ago. But, this is it, before he came my first King came. I found the one that loved me long ago. The one that was patient long before I knew what patience was.  How could I not trust that Deliverance was on the way, and this gave me "Hope".

So, today, I say Thank you, Jesus for loving me like the Church. Thank you for sending me my King that loves me like you, the Church.The one that knew my failures and downfalls, the one that has help me grow and heal, truly the one that has sacrificed his life for me, just like the "Church". As I celebrate my "Anniversary"!

I say  job well done. I am grateful. It's a beautiful day! That it is. I am Thankful.  Lord this feel like the Garden. In your presence.

Trust

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.

Psalm 130:5

As I read this, something register, a sense of feeling and hope and consolation arise in me,  that mere thing I worry about was far greater than me, it was as if a hedge was overtaking me, but then I realized something a hedge of protection was protecting me.

kindness

Luke 6:31

Do to others as you will have them do to you.

This registered with me today. I was explaining this to my daughter, not because she was being unkind, well because she was hearing someone be unkind. I had an representative that was very rude to me, and the strangest thing about this was, she didn't feel as if she was. This is denial, when your'e in the wrong people, don't feel as if you shouldn't take responsibility for  your wrong doing. Immediately, analyze your behavior and take full responsibility of your actions. The joy i experienced was this....My daughter recognized the patience and kindness and love that I shared with the individual that was having a bad day, to shorten the results, treat others as if you want to be treated, Ok, I get it , It's going to take some time right? This may be true. Nonetheless, be available and willing to change, it took me a long........time to reach a stage of peace. My daughter said to me, I don't know if i could be that mellow, I said to her, of course you can;  obliviously, you can't do it alone. Reach for Jesus, he will guide you through the Holy Spirit. Were never alone .

This is good

Patience

Psalms 37:7

" Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him: do not fret when people succeed in their ways when they carry out their wicked schemes."

This is so profound. We are all guilty  of being impatient,some form of fashion we have all experienced the art of impatience, We may have experience impatience as a child , an adolescents. or adult.  Somewhere down the line it occurred. We tend to be in such a hurry, we want it now, could this be because we see, our friends or colleagues doing the very thing we desire, or maybe it's the opposite. We ponder and  become restless, because we wonder, if I am doing it right and it appears that their going by it the wrong way, OK, this isn't fair! we tend to wonder and ask our self is this worth the wait?  I will answer this for you. Yes, it's worth the wait. Don't feel as if your not growing, do good and good will follow. Don't desire the wicked schemes and actions of this world. Truly, this type of behavior won't last. Stay encourage. Your on the battle field to win.

LOVE

My daughter will turn 13 years old in a few days and I am so delighted. She is the youngest and so dear to my heart. The love I share with her is no different than the love I have for her other brothers and sisters. But, this is a protective type of love that I feel for her. See,That's a sense of security that we must hold for all of our children, there will be sleepless nights and restless days. But, we must understand this one simple tool. Your first job, ministry, obligation is the home. Stop running for a show, and run for the show that's in front of you. All things are done in proper measure. This I know.

Morning Dew

Good Morning,

I almost  forgot to post, I made an agreement with myself to follow through with morning enlightenment.

" But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. trusting in this very word today.

Psalm 5:11

Morning Dew: I am in awe of the mere fact of knowing and experiencing The love Jesus has for me, and you. The morning dew, what a delight. Rising to a refreshed day. A day that's full of renewal. A day of regeneration and restoration. A day that's full of hope and love. This is found with the Lord of host.

My desire is full and forever refreshed. I seek my inner soul and I hunger for the work that was laid before me years ago. I see the ladies faces. The smiles and  tears that I was able to be apart of , I will never take for granted. I will return back to my work and focus on what I am called to do. My life is forever change because I made a difference and I seek to make an change, better yet....I seek to make an impact.

May you enjoy your day. Love in and out of season. Some seasons are good , some seasons are greater. Some seasons gloomy, some seasons dreary. The greatest antidote for your season is " Thankfulness"

Embrace it anyway.
