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

Keep Stepping!!!

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,

Mercy

The other day my Pastor gave a lesson on sin. He had 3 men stand on the altar, each holding a ball. One had a 16 pound bowling ball; one had a volleyball that weighed about 10 ounces; and the other a pool ball that weighed around 6 ounces. He assigned each ball a sin, the bowling ball represented murder, the volley ball represented theft, and the pool ball represented a little white lie.  The men dropped the balls they were holding at the same time. Even though each ball weighed a different amount they all hit the floor at the same time. My Pastor used this to demonstrate to us that SIN IS SIN. God looks at all sin the same…murder is not a bigger sin than a little white lie.

If we start to view all sin the same maybe we’ll show more mercy to others. I have never killed anyone but I have told a little white lie. The good thing about this is according to Romans 5:20 “Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” Hope this encourages you to show mercy to others. XOXO –Angelle 

“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.

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)

Comparing Yourself To Others

Yesterday a friend shared some issues she was going through with us; one of those issues being comparing herself to others.  I believe that this is something that EVERYONE (including myself) goes through at some point in their life. My words of advice to her were “You really don’t know what others are going through behind the scene…they could be miserable. Remember, people only put their good pictures on Instagram.” So whenever you find yourself comparing your life to others just remember, people control what they want you to see. Hope this encourages you! -Angelle

Happy Productive Day!

You have 24hrs in a day, make it great! So often we sit around and mindlessly let the day pass away without purpose or passion. I plan to plan each and everyday so that my seconds, minutes, and hours are meaningful. A year from now I don't want to say 2014 was a waste but rather say,  Wow, I'm so proud of myself and I have so much to show for it!

Love, 

Christina
