LESSONS from 2020 and Entering 2021

Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

This scripture is packed with promise….

I know for myself that God causes EVERYTHING to work for my good.   2020 has worked for my good….

Now there are some qualifiers…for this promise 1) those who LOVE GOD…and 2) those who are Called according to His purpose for them…

As believers we know that we Love God and we are Called according to His purpose in our lives.  I was like Ok Jesus thank you for this promise.  Holy Spirit just reminded me that even 2020 will work for my good.     So, I created this list of lessons…in no particular order.

  • Increase my Faith, Purpose, Peace Each one of these are connected to Destiny
  • A Spirit of Resilience – It was important to not quit and succumb to the despair and the oppressive atmosphere in 2020…in each circumstance Look for GOD in the midst His banner is over us
  • LIFE is truly precious – take time to tell your Love Ones you Love them and spend quality time with them
  • TIME is a precious Resource – you have 24 hours to complete your task don’t waste your time on non-producing activity and don’t waste other people time
  • Intentional with all activity – be ever present in all that you do and be deliberate in your actions
  • Hope and Expectations are important and connected to FAITH – believing in the dream or vision will manifest
  • The past & present are building blocks for your Future – use your past and present experiences to help navigate 2021
  • Pajama days are Real and Therapeutic
  • Listen to the Holy Spirit the 1st time
  •  Obey the instructions of the LORD the 1st time
  • Invest in yourself – knowledge is Powerful
  • Gratefulness and Kindness – build character and is needed in this season
  • Leave a Legacy and an Inheritance for our children and our children’s children
  • Slow Down and breath…

Let’s Launch in 2021 with a Powerful Prosperous Presence and Purpose.

Yours in Christ,

Remember the Fight is Fixed

Well, I wanted to share this encouraging word with you today.  So, I am in an early morning group text with some Amazing people.  The word shared this morning reminded me that the Fight is Fixed.  Now what he said was that we are to fight in Faith no matter the opposition.  BUT as soon as I read those words, I heard the Holy Spirit say so clearly Yes, Darling the Fight is Fixed. 

I immediately was reminded of the scripture of 1 Timothy 6:12 NIV – Fight the good Fight of the Faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

It is a Good Fight.  What you say! Yesss, it’s a good Fight because we win.  When you and I Fight in Faith we gain access. Access to the full force of heaven to back us up during opposition.  When we became believers, we were given the measure of FAITH.  This measure of FAITH is what supplies access for us to win.

We need to remember we are victorious when we Fight in Faith.  As we take hold of the eternal life to which we were called All the benefits of that calling are Now ours.  Winning our battles due to fixed fights are part of the benefits. 

The plan of the Lord is that He always causes us to win. We need to be aware of the opposition in our lives and how to use our FAITH to combat its affects. 

Let’s remember the Fight is Fixed and you win.

Yours in Christ,

Morning Inspirations

Don’t you just love it when morning inspiration reveals itself to you. God is always talking and today the Lord used paper towels…LOL  Soooo, this lovely morning I’m doing what I normally do in the morning….fixing my coffee.  I place my cup on a paper towel (New Roll) and began reading the writing on my paper towel.  SIDEBAR:  My close friends know that I like paper towels with a design.   I like some type of print or design or words. I don’t like plain white paper towels.  OK back to the story.  I’m reading my paper towel this morning it says “Each morning is a new opportunity to shine, a chance to give the past a kick in the pants and the Future, a bear hug.”  Does that not make you grin….

Here is the kicker the other quote on the next paper towel in the roll says “Love big, Play hard and Eat dessert. Savor the simple things and don’t worry about the rest. Choose today to be Amazing.” How cool is that.

Now you might be saying how is that inspiration?  I am so glad you asked.  Each morning is a new opportunity to shine.   Let’s start there, We are given NEW MERCIES every morning.  If the day before has been rough and tough on you or perhaps you have made mistakes welllll you get blessed with compassion and grace when you wake up.  The Lord gives you forgiveness and you have the chance to Shine.  All of this while you give the past a kick in the pants. You will not look back on the former thing but look ahead to that glorious future and give it a bear hug.  Embrace your future. You too can give forgiveness, compassion, and grace when you wake up. 

There is so much I can share about the second phrase on the paper towels.  Love big, Play hard, and Eat dessert.  I mean really who would not want that.  Live life to its fullest and express the Love that heals, covers, protects, ect….  Yes, that Love! Savor the simple things in life.  We often get bogged down with the hustle and bustle of Life that we forget to enjoy LIFE and rest in it, Eat the dessert and rest as the phrase declares.   Finally, choose to be AMAZING.    Yes, it is a choice.  No matter how the previous day panned out no matter how this day begins to unfold you can make a decision to be AMAZING.  It is in this choice that things begin to line up with your positive vibes.  You have tapped into the heavenly resources allotted for you and your mindset changes, and all things around you begin to change.   WOW and it begins with a decision, a choice to be AMAZING.   

How clever for Sparkle Paper towels to have such creative phrases that would leave a lasting impression.   

Yours in Christ,
