Understand your purpose!

Job 32:4;7-9- Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he...'I thought, 'Age should speak; advanced years should teach wisdom.' But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding. It is not only the old who are wise, not only the aged who understand what is right. (NIV)
To understand our purpose, we must understand our worth. Comprehending our truth worth helps us to see that self-sacrificing, and not self-serving is the way to living life in abundance in all aspects..Now, before we go any further let me be clear, I am not talking about he self-sacrifice that we do for fame, glory, and comments but rather the self-sacrifice that is submititng to the will of the Father...okay, i will continue...With the awareness the promised destiny planned for our life is not lived, seen and we have our being unaware, without knowing our worth and purpose. When we grasp this, we are no longer bound by traditions, social and cultural norms, or  family nonsensical madness.  Although they are all useful in their place, we need to know when they have lost their usefulness, what is antiquated and out of date, and what is still relevant. We only finds this being real and discerning for one self,  it is the spirit in the man not age, gender, nationality, the bank balance, status, or birthright which bestows certain inalienable rights, but it is God. God shapes us in the flickering of eyes lids while His heart grants the cornucopia of presence and confidence.Then we are able to build a foundation that is solid enough to withstand any lost, disruption, horrific changes, because you know, you were born into this world to do what you are doing, and it feels good...you exhale, you release, and you begin to see truly, 'i am too blessed, too be stressed!'..In this passage of scriptures Elihu explains his role, he knew his role, and owned it, and did not allow anything from serving his purpose...giving the message Job chapters 32-37...We do not hear much, or any at all about Elihu after this..He is done because he has fulfilled his purpose, for this moment he was born..Could you do the same? Understanding your purpose allows you to do so...be blessed and know, living your purpose or without struggles but I can truthfully say, baby it is definitely easier, and allows the unspeakful joy that gives your soul rest like Jesus in the middle of the storm on the boat...

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!!
We are all bless to see a new year, that is a blessing whether we see it as one or not because many missed it; some by seconds, minutes, hours, a day or month...The tradition, regardless of faith, where you were brought up is something type of promise or resolution for the new year. Well, I thought about this and I look at my plan for a new year, (who would have thunk it, right...lol) I, like most, are seeking without focus, understanding or knowing our purpose. So, actually, in truth we are only going around aimlessly in this world getting a temporary fix with this or that, with him or her (or both whatever); it is a addiction, not a cure or coorection...There are some quotes and verses I would like you all to consider  as you prepare for this new year, what the heck, new decade!! two by Wm. Shakespeare - 'My crown is in my content...my crown is my heart' and 'To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man'; St. Francis of Assis 'Start doing what is necessary; then do what is possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible'; and Thomas Jefferson 'A candle loses nothing when it lights another candle...it makes more light'...Now the verses...Matt 6:24 'You can't worship two gods at once. Loving one god, you'll end up hating the other. Adoration of one feeds contempt for the other. You can't worship God and Money both.' MSG and Jer. 29:11 'I know the plans I have for you," announces the Lord. "I want you to enjoy success. I do not plan to harm you. I will give you hope for the years to come.' NIV...Now that I have preface this, let me tell you all what I figured I out, I resolve to do for me, to live prospers, godly, and walk with a purposeful focus...

1. To remember I cannot control no one behaviour, reactions, or choices but my own; if I find they are inappropriate people in my life, then ask God what am I to get out and get away
2. To live the truth God put in me, not talk about what I going to do or make excuse; just do it
3. Release the guilt, it is done, i cannot change it, and be free; it weighs too much
4. Say good by to resentment and lingering anger because it is leading me to a self-destructive disposition and it serves no purpose; i plan to get the lesson and move on, let go of the people...not being mean spirited but knowing this is not for me
5. Stop focusing on I am not going to be like whomever or whatever because what we focus on, we become, and I need to have a positive image, vision as my focus if I plan to be it
6. Knowing that knowing better does not mean doing better, we have to  believe it and act on it to have an impact; change my belief system by being open to a varied knowledge
7. Knowing that there are no accidents in our life and things are allowed or willed by God to teach us something for our future
8. A clear focus allows for an articulate purpose and not subject to changes to accommodate others or trends or ideas
9. Knowing one person with a purpose can impact millions of lives once it is focus...remember Esther, Oprah, Gates, Facebook guys, Jesus, etc
10. It is not about me but for me to see, enjoy, embrace, and do; and my self-sacrifice is needed for my fulfillment of destiny

I did ten, not by accident, but by intention - Ten is the number of divine order being reestablished one way or another through the judgment of the law...I am reestablishing with God in this new decade in his judgment, unconditional love, and my faith without reservation; how about you!

The New year approaches-Thinking differently

As 2009 is coming to a close, I stopped a minute to contemplate what has transpired to me, my friends, this country, and those connected to me. I have concluded in my musing we need to think differently...In the bible it speaks of this- as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became man (adult), I put away childness things...You are still on milk, when you should be on meat...These verses are reminding us as we mature, we should think differently. Therefore, we should speak and act differently as we grow; it is a process...But we do not because we are not willing to understand this simple truth...See improving on what you have does not mean you are discounting the past accomplishments, but we are honoring them as we continue to grow; we use what is to as the platform, springboard for our progression. Time change but the message is the same, the delivery method and mode operation is different because the audience is different, and transformation is taking place because of it...So, asked yourself who is holding your ladder as you climb upward? never forget those below because without this individual(s), your presence circumstance would not be possible...thinking differently, i think is a must for our survival, for our progression, for our faith to thrive and love to live
