Get out of the Way!

Are there some things that you are waiting on the Lord to supply? However, when you shared your desire with a confidant they said to you, "Get out of God's way!" Well, I think sometimes we minimize that phrase and do not look at its context in its entirety. In order not to be a barrier for a blessing takes several steps and there are several questions that you must ask yourself. Question 1: What am I doing that could be a barrier for my blessing? Question 2: Where am I going that could be a barrier for my blessing? Question 3: What am I thinking that could be a barrier for my blessing? Question 4: Who am I with that could be a barrier for my blessing? Question 5: What am I saying that could be a barrier for my blessing? Take these questions into consideration and I will spend the next 5 postings dealing with these questions individually. Reflection is powerful and is the sources of change.

When You're Smiling...

"Smiling does not mean that you're not going 'through', but it could simply mean that you can see yourself on the other side 'through', and you look better than you did before you started going 'through'."

Have you ever been through a situation and you really did not know how to handle it or have the skills the cope? Did you find it difficult to smile? Well, I dare you smile anyway. Smiling, liking happiness, is a choice. Even when your dealing with difficult challenges, I encourage you to smile. Others can measure your strength or weakness based on your smile and can dictate what position they will take with you depending on your disposition. Smile before, during or after you go through a tough circumstance. You put your trust and faith in the One and in the power that has been given to you. You will come to the realization that the purpose for you to going "through" is to prepare you for what is on the other side of "through". Smiling signifies your confidence in the process which will add to the enlargement, enhancement and enrichment of life as you pursue your goal of fulfilling your purpose.
