 I just want to really engrain in you to find your light. You might not see the good in life right now. The frame of mind you are in and your struggles are temporary. There are happy times in life that we can be grateful for. Even if you don't see the power to change your life, God has you in His hands. Put your trust in God and have faith to pursue the joys in life. Take time to appreciate all of your blessings. Sometimes it's a rerouting that God is doing. Sometimes it is shaping the heart for the future that is best for you. Everything is temporary so why not spend life being happy. Try your best and have faith to move on towards the positive elements in life. Try your best to not grow weary. Find a new perspective if you grow cold. Be open to new opportunities. Every day is a new day where you can become a better version of yourself than you were yesterday. Find what makes you happy. Find your light.

 Childlike Faith Having childlike faith means to me that I am trusting whole heartedly and completely. Like a child, I am sheltered from the worlds tribulations. I don’t even think about all the bad things that could happen because I know that my Father (Jesus Christ) has got me. I have nothing to fear. I am not saying that you should not be wise. God gives wisdom to those who ask for it. Sometimes dreams and goals seem like they are unlikely to come to fruition, but we know that we are drawn to them by destiny. This is when we must exercise our faith. Certainly God wants us to be a blessing to others and show His power for the world to see. There are a lot of Christians who don’t exercise their faith because of their poverty mentality or worldly mindset. If you have Christ within you, surely you can see miracles here on Earth even in your own life. Often times we want to feel as comfortable and secure as possible, and doing so we live the same routine over again because it has worked for us. We think that the blessings that we have are the only blessings we are entitled to receive. We want more but don’t know how to access it. Change comes from stepping out on faith like a child. To act in faith we must step out of our comfort zone. This does not mean simply hiding your eyes as if you are dropping down from the top of a rollercoaster. During your faith walk you need to trust in the Spirit of the living God by praising Him, praying to Him, spending time with Him, and speaking positively about Him to others. You should also hold your tongue from all negative talk. Your faith walk for specific circumstances could be 2 hours, 2 weeks, or 40 years. How will we ever know if we should receive 10 fold what we ask for if we don’t but our faith and trust in Him who made us? When you see an opportunity, if it seems like it’s out of your comfort zone, but it seems like the stepping stone to get to where you want to be, you should pray about it. Maybe God wants you to take a leap of faith and trust Him. If you feel peace in your spirit, that’s how you know it is the right thing for you. If you see warning signs and shut doors that you are trying to force open, it could mean God is trying to protect you from making a big mistake. Making a mistake is okay. It let’s you learn and tests you to grow. It doesn’t mean that there won’t be challenges and obstacles you have to go through in your faith walk. Usually there are. With God on your side who dares to be against you? You are powerful with the Creator as your mentor. You need to cut out nervous eating, nervous picking, and nervous hair twirling. These habits come from a place on anxiety and fear. It comes from the fears that we won’t get enough or be enough. God has given us completion in Him. He is a loyal partner that will never fail us and knows what is best for us. Purpose, fulfillment, destiny…It is more than being comfortable. Remember that God never gives us anything that we can’t handle and life is a blessing that we should not take for granted. Life on Earth is also temporary and God is waiting for us to choose Him on our own. Through childlike faith it is the only way we will have access to the Kingdom of God. We cannot afford to waste time in stagnacy, not exercising our faith and loving with our whole hearts.  Put On Your Positive Pants
I asked my Curlfriend Amber what she would like to share with the world and she said "Put on your Positive Pants". I thought that was genius. It is a great quality to have when faced with uncertainty and doubt. Girls, when you feel like your stuck in a continuous cycle “Put on your positive pants.” When you feel like you’ve hit a wall “Put on your positive pants.” When you feel down and confused “Put on your positive pants.” When you’ve lost your direction “Put on your positive pants.” You don’t have to be a Negative Nellie. Sometimes people complain and make the excuse that they haven’t had their coffee in the morning. It is not nice to pass around bad energy just because you feel like it. Your negativity passes to other people and they may feel hurt because you didn’t smile back at them when they smiled at you. When faced with negative outcomes try to look at the positive side of the situation and distract yourself from thinking about negativity. It’s okay to grieve, but don’t keep it in your system too long. Practice thinking happy and positive thoughts on purpose and your mind will have them easily. Seek to be around positive people to keep your mind motivated and healthy. Refrain from complaining too much and saying the same negativity over and over. When you speak light to other peoples listening ears, they will feel happy to be around you. It’s okay to express your emotions, but when you are always negative and sad all the time, you have to question “who am I around that is a bother? Is it something that I can change about myself?” If it is someone who you need in your life that is making you sad, maybe you can flip the script and speak positivity on purpose until they catch on. You are not your emotions. You are not how you feel. Find your positive and “Put on your positive pants.” |
