what the day brings

I am dragging today. Having a hard time getting it together today for various reasons that I won't get into. The point of it all is in determining whethe or not I am going to let what I am currently going through hinder my praise. And the answer to tht is no. We are to praise God in season and out of season. When we are up and when we are down. Then and only then will you see your situation turned around.

Have a blessed day.

blues

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on in a few days to post what's going on, the ins and outs of the world through my eyes....but mama always said there'd be days like this..... just checking in to see what's going on in the world.

Tynietta's PSA for today

"A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses."

The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate - for the good and the bad. Be careful of who you allow into your space..

Think about it....I'll wait!

Tynietta's PSA for today....

Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how.. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life....

Think about it!! I'll wait...

Good feelings

I decided a few weeks ago to wake up with a made up mind to have a good day dispite of how I feel and what's going on around me. Spending the mornings with God before you start your day will allow you to have those good feelings throughout your day as well.

Allergies

As of late, with the weather changes, so do my allergies. We all have developed an allergic reaction to something in our lives that drive us crazy if we let it instead of taking the proper precautions. It dawned on me last night when my son told me he was "allergic" to doing the dishes. After fussing at him and getting over what he said, it made me think..what if we developed "allergic reactions" to things that are not of God?? It will help us to stay away from those things and migrate to that which is right.

Just a thought. Share yours.

New Things

This weekend started off pretty rocky for me but it ended up being one of the best weekends I've had in a while. Not only did I get plenty of information from a luncheon that I attended, I also recieved a blessed word from God and a confirmation. Just think, I started not to do anything or go anywhere because of the way my weekend started out. I was just gonna mope around the house, feeling sorry for myself. Glad I didn't! One thing that I learned from this weekend, is no matter how it starts, what matters most is how you finish.

Think before you speak

I got into a disagreement with a very good friend of mine due to a response to an email that I sent hastily. This caused me to almost loose my friend. Alot of times, when we hear something we don't like or get an attitude because we don't get our way, we tend to "fly off the handle" so to speak and respond suddenly without taking the time to think things through, put yourself in the other person's shoes...

Friendships are hard to come by and when you have a true friend, don't fly off the handle and mess up what you have.....

Be blessed fam.

Favor

today is a different kind of post. today I am asking for prayers and for God's favor upon my nephew today as he recieves his verdict in court today. he's been through alot and has been taken to task by his parents but still, he is one of God's children and God has a call on His life as well as my own son's life. they know it and now, it's time for them to walk in it.

Hump Day

Here we are in the middle of the work week. Hump day. In life, we all have hurdles to climb and hills to get over. How you get over your "hump" will determine the blessing you receive. If you are constantly going through, wearing your feelings on your sleeve, letting everyone know you are going through something, that is your reward; from people. When you turn it over to God with a cheerful heart, your reward comes from Him. Everyone does not need to know when you are going through.

Fighting the good fight

Daily there is a fight between me and the ants in my office. Every year when the weather breaks, the ants come out and the battle is on. In life there are battles that we fight and some battles the Bible says the Lord will fight. (I Samuel 17:47). Discern which battles you need to fight and which ones are for the Lord, sit back, relax, and let the Lord fight your battles.

Renewed mindset

Situations in your life are not going to change unless you work on changing them. People around you are not going to always agree with or understand you. This journey you are on may require that you let some people go, as they are a hinderance to your growth. Think about it....I'll wait!

Love

What is the meaning of true love?? Not the kind of love that God has for us but the kind of love that is supposed to be shared between a man and a woman?? And how do you know if it's real or not?? Someone asked the question "What is a man's definition of "Friend" when it comes to women?? Is it just someone with benefits that you hang out with but are not committed to?

Sometimes I think about these things. Share your thoughts.

Valley Experiences

There are some times in life when we are going through something but not really sure of what it is that we are going through. We just know that things within our spirit are not right. I call those, our valley experiences.. Use that time and those experiences to figure out what God is trying to have you do or to see.. Take heed and pay attention.

Feeling the pull

I've been up since 3:30am. I could not figure out why I was awake or why I could not go back to sleep. I just lay there, thinking about my life, things I need to change, areas I can improve, people I need to let go but don't know how. Life is a continuous learning process and it's up to us to figure out what we are learning and the lessons that are trying to be taught.

What is being "pulled" out of you?

Learning to Let Go

If Jesus died on the cross and rose on the third day that we may have life and have it more abundantly, that means He took all of our mess and left it in the grave when He rose. If Christ is in us and did that for us, why are we holding onto things He delivered us from? Think about it....I'll wait!

Today

Let's make today a beautiful day. Get all that you need, then give even more. We allow people, circumstances, and situations to change our mood. Have a steady mindset and do what needs to be done, cheerfully
