A Fresh Perspective

Well, one of my best friends buried her mom today. It hurt so bad, but I feel so good because I know her mom was saved and is now resting in God's loving arms. I can truly say, without a doubt, that she was an angel here on earth. Her mom was only 61...she was killed in a car accident (hit by a police) on Monday. I will always remember how loving she was and how much she truly loved and wanted to see everyone saved. Her homegoing celebration was packed...people were standing up. It makes me happy to know that she touched so many people's lives.

I always wonder why it takes death to make people realize that life is so short. You can leave home in the morning, and never make it back. I don't want to die anytime soon, not because I'm scared, but because I want to see my great great great great great great great grandchildren. I want to see my legacy. This may scare some of you, but I believe in spirits...good and bad. I know that if I did leave soon, I would be able to look down and "protect" my children, but I want to be able to hold them and hug them. I tell my friends, family, etc. that I love them because I do. I never want to leave this earth without having said "I love you" to those that I truly love. Those three words are always taken for granted. If I could ask God three questions they would be:
1. Why do people hurt each other?
2. Is there a way to know if I am one of the "elect few"?
3. Has my mansion been prepared?

I tell everyone that I know, I am not going to hell for you. Don't ask me to lie for you, cheat for you, or steal for you. I can put myself in hell by doing my own wrongdoings...no matter how much I love you, I am not sacrificing my soul for you. Husband and Children included. Now, I will sacrifice my life to save my husband and/or my children.

God has given me a destiny to walk in...I feel greatness. I've felt it since I was a child. I have so many talents that God has richly blessed me with, yet, I am afraid of success. There, I said it, I am scared of actually "making it". I try many things, but I never really feel that I am a part of anything great so I don't keep at it. My blessing/my calling/my ministry is to help people through words. I love people and I love writing poetry, short stories, encouraging words. Yes, there are some idiots in the world, but overall, most people are really good. I love to "counsel" people. I love to see people achieve greatness. I love to help push people to their destiny. There are many people that want encouraging, yet, they don't have anyone to do so for them. I don't know why the people I've met in my life have come across my path, but I do know that I learned something from each and every one of them and from each and every situation/circumstand that I have been put in. Praises be to God. He is so good! There is none greater than the Almighty One!

Sometimes I get so depressed because I feel so alone, and then I remember, that I am only alone because I make myself feel that way. I am now reminding myself that I am made in His image...which means that I have great power within me. It's up to me to use that power to propel myself to the greatness and abundance that God has given me. Glory be to God!
Here are my affirmations:
1. I have sold out Brookline
2. I am able to take vacations
3. I have paid my house note to a ZERO balance
4. My health is intact
5. I am surrounded by positive people
6. The word that I speak and the actions that I take will be used in the highest and best use possible
7. I no longer have a car note
8. My husband is driving a reliable car
9. My student loans are at a ZERO balance
10. My credit cards are at a ZERO balance

My charge to anyone reading this right now, is to not let negativity take you over...overtake negativity by thinking positive and acting and walking in the goodness of God. God is truly all that we need in this world, for if we have Him FIRST, everything else -- money, cars, homes, health, friends, family -- will be added unto us. Isn't that awesome to know that all you have to do is walk in God's favor, and you will have your heart's desires?!
Blessed Be!
