I know you already know this but I came to remind you, what GOD has for you is for you!!!! No bad decision, slick person, temptation, family member, competitor, corporation, school, organization, friend or foe can stop God and his plans! Get in alignment so you can feel that peace above all understanding and have the strength, courage, and wisdom to do your best and have the spirit of expectancy to attract Gods grace, favor, and mercy! 

Hallelujah! Thank Ya Jesus! 

Blessings and love to you and yours!

Love,

Chriss

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward. - Martin Luther King Jr.

Have the faith to pursue your dreams and trust that if you miss a step God is right there to catch you. 

Love,

Nothing is impossible -Joyce Meyer

Dear Mr/Ms Hopeless,

I love you and I want to share my daily devotion from Monday with you. It starts with a scripture then a word from Joyce Meyers.

For no word from God will ever fail.” (Luke 1:37 NIV)

Nothing Is Impossible 

People who think positively can see potential in even the most discouraging situations, while those who think negatively are quick to point out problems and limitations. 

This goes beyond the proverbial idea of simply seeing a glass "half full" or "half empty" and extends to actually making decisions and taking actions based on either positive or negative thinking. 

Have you ever noticed how negative thinking blows things out of proportion? Problems start to seem larger and much more difficult than they really are. 

Sometimes, a problem may actually be impossible...in the natural. And a negative mindset forgets that nothing is impossible to God. 

Meditating on God's Word will rid you of negativity and help you refocus on who God is. A positive mindset based on God's Word knows that nothing is beyond God. He is always present. 

I've trained my brain to believe God and His Word, and I've experienced the power available to me through God when I've trusted Him more than my circumstances. We need to always remember that nothing is impossible with God. 

Prayer Starter: Lord, it's clear to me that I have nothing to gain from a 'glass-half-empty' mindset. Even in impossible situations, I know that You are there. I choose to see the positive side of things as I live in Your Word.

Love,

Christina

“People often say motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing—that’s why we recommend it daily.” - Zig Ziglar

Whatever you feed grows and whatever you starve dies. If you feed your faith the bigger your faith grows,  That's why Apostle Paul says faith comes by hearing.

If we hear a good word on Sunday or get motivated by an inspiring story on Tuesday but watch garbage tv, listen to trashy songs, have everyday problems, hear people complain about life, hear disturbing news, watch celebrities make money, and be consumed with celebrity gossip all the other days of the week we aren't focusing our thoughts and energies into creating our best life. I do all of the above lol however, I'm a strong advocate for balance. Without watching celebrities we wouldn't know the wealth possibilities that we can start to envision for our life. I also don't mind watching reality shows where the rich get richer because they are inspiring me to do the same and watching them encourages me. I just schedule the amount of time I devote to that. In addition, I schedule an amount of time to feed my spirit. I try to meditate, read scripture, read other value adding books, practice visualization, and speak affirmations daily to help keep me focus, in good spirits, and attracting all of my wants and desires.

Love,
Christina

Faith: The Sky is The Limit

"If you want more you got to be willing to walk away from less" is what my cousin told me the other day in relation to her situation. She probably has no clue how that struck a chord with me and those words became imprinted on my heart.

That quote made me ask myself, am I settling? What dead end relationship, job, situation, fill in the blank do I or you refuse to let go of because we're afraid of change or failure? A year or two ago I felt as if I was going through a quarter life crisis. I really didn't know where I wanted to go in life from where I was. I wanted to change careers, change the city I lived in, I just wanted a change. I never made that change and still to this day I have this whispering, nagging feeling I want more out of life. I want to thrive and not merely exist!  Our current thinking can be preventing us from having so much more out of life, thoughts filled with fear such as what ifs, maybes, I cant, etc. I've decided that I'm going to chose faith and let go of fear! I know I'm not the only one, so we need to step out on faith and walk away from those things that aren't adding value to us and trust something bigger and better is out there just waiting on us to be ready to receive it whether it's a career, certification, relationship, or life experience. HOWEVER, don't be stupid about it, pray and use discernment.

So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. (Galatians 3:9 NIV)

Love,

Happy Sunday!

Have a great week,here are some notes from the word I received today.

Berean Christian Church

Kerwin B. Lee, Senior Pastor

February 1 & 2, 2014

Today’s Text Daniel 3:14-17

Today’s Title

“Relationships That Position You for a

Major Turnaround”

1. Relationships with people who have obedience

to God can position you for a major turnaround.

 Verses 16, 17

“Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego answered and said

to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give

you an answer to this question. 17) If we are thrown into

the fire, our God Whom we serve is able to save us from

it. And He will save us from your hand, O king.” (NLV)

Its great to have great friends that positively influence each other to stay true to themselves and to God. 

2. Relationships with people who have confidence

in God can position you for a major turnaround.

Verse 18

“But even if He does not, we want you to know, O king,

that we will not serve your gods or worship the object of

gold that you have set up.”(NLV)

3. Relationships with people who have experience 

with God can position you for a major turnaround.

Verses 24-26

“Then King Nebuchadnezzar was very surprised and

stood up in a hurry. He said to his leaders, “Did we not

throw three men who were tied up into the fire?” They

 answered, “That is true, O king.” 25) He said, “Look! I

see four men loose and walking about in the fire without

being hurt! And the fourth one looks like a son of the

gods (or the Son of God)!” 26) Then Nebuchadnezzar

came near the door where the fire was burning, and said,

“Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, servants of the

Most High God, come out! Come here!” So Shadrach,

Meshach and Abed-nego came out of the fire.” (NLV)

I know my friends and I learn from each others' experiences with trials and obstacles and I can really say its so much easier going through a trial when you have witnessed your friends go through it with so much faith and trust in God to handle their situation.

Love, 

Christina
