Your objective: To live well and finish strong!

To thrive intellectually, you will have to read and understand basic principles and promises related to the Kingdom of God. If you study and apply God’s truth, you will possess an in-depth knowledge of the character of God. Thus, walking in authority and boldness will be evident by your growth. With that knowledge, you can overturn limitations, doubt and fears.

I boldly declare, every cloudy or foggy vision for your life must be cleared up. The past will be flipped. Your story will suddenly turn around. A complete intellectual and spiritual awakening will take place simultaneously. As a born-again believer, you have the power to walk in the joy of the Lord. Do you know your birthright? With knowledge of God’s Word, you can revolutionize the end result of your story.

Amidst the many twists and turns, God’s Word is always your guide. As long as you are alive on earth, you will experience good moments and, without a doubt, some devastating things. Still, the promises of God remains sure.
Some dreadful circumstances of the past will be intertwined into your overall story of success. The time to reroute your life is now. If you are pleased with the way things are going, you can continue on the same path. If not, make some type of modification. I urge you to seek help if help is needed. Sometimes, an accountability partner is necessary for change. Your plans alone may not be enough to make a definite shift. There must be a measurable plan of action, honesty and accountability.

Just like the Apostle Paul, there will be times of testing. Only the absolute truth will remain effective after everything is tested by life’s fiery trials.The world system is built on man’s best efforts. There are lots of counterfeits and lies. If you are on a quest for truth, read your Bible daily. Seek Godly wisdom, counsel and revelation above earthly opinions.

“Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.” Hebrews 11:1 (NLT)

The Worry-Free Challenge

Tinasha — Sun, 01 Sep 2019 18:23:40 +0000

Over the last three weeks, I took a worry-free challenge that was used as a tool to keep my thoughts in check. I also gave my family permission to call out the worrisome thoughts at times when I appeared clueless. This strategy worked great for me. In my case, I found the content for my current writing project was the main recurring theme.

After the first week, I narrowed my repetitive thought patterns down to my current writing projects. I was always asking if the information written in the inspiration book was up to par. I often felt the need to research and study additional scriptures to make sure that the content flowed with the topic I was writing about.

During the early morning and late evening was the time I had the biggest influx of thoughts related to the contents of the book. The thoughts typically surfaced before I began to write, sometimes during my writing sessions, but mainly at the end of the day. In retrospect, I believe there is a genuine concern for wholesome content to be included in the book. In the light of stewardship, my goal is to publish a God-centered book with content that points to God as our Source.

Insight:

Now I am convinced, that worry is a fruitless mental activity. It is a cycle that causes revolving thoughts to race through our minds. The human body responds with a heightened state of alertness. To be concerned is very different from worrying. Concern is another kind of mental reaction that surfaces from a place of love and genuine care. The results of true concern are very different from worry. Concern focuses primarily on the problem with hopes of taking specific actions to solve the problem.

Successes:

Converting worries into concerns became easy for me.

I literally had to stop what I was doing to whisper a prayer or talk to myself. During times of reasoning, I challenged the Lord. I had to stop many times to ask Jesus to give me clear directions. Personally speaking, during times of stress, I tend to over-process the situation and actions of others. Therefore, I prefer to live a simplified and easy-going life free from worry and stress.

Over the last three weeks, I have spent hours reading and meditating on the word of God. Therefore, I have learned to cultivate a growth mindset that says, “All things are under God’s control.” All these have allowed me to understand my emotional and mental frame. My default setting is the word of God. The truth is; there is no need to worry.

Failures:

My failure seems to be in the area of perfectionism. I am learning how to be excellent (striving for the best I can be). I have a hard time accepting that the written work is good enough. It can take a minute to truly convince myself that the written sentences and paragraphs are really what the Lord wants me to write. During times of weakness, I literally have to encourage myself to take a stretch break to increase my strength. This helped me to counteract the constant patterns of worry. I even had to choose to walk away, take a deep breath, and filter my thoughts.

Conclusion:

Thankfully, I am at the place where I can say; I know my capabilities and my weaknesses. I can also say; “I serve God, and He is able to do all things. He provides the assurance, counsel, and strength needed for me to keep writing.” God is on my side, I will not be moved.
