Coulda,Shoulda and Woulda will kill you

June 26, 2018 0 Comments



Have you jumped yet? Have you pushed yourself to move forward? Still sitting? Looking at what could have been? Won't move because you think nothing ever good comes your way? Will let me say STOP IT? Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda will get you killed.

These three words will kill your destiny, dreams, and hopes. They are the roadblocks to all that God has for you. Constant killers and will make you regret every think you could do anything. Lot's wife is a perfect example. Looking at these roadblocks in the face killed her. 

These killer words will make you think things coulda been better. That you shoulda went in a different direction or woulda did things differently. Lies, I tell you lies. This is the way to stale your progress or stop it. Lot's wife looked back and what happened?

It defines Coulda, Shoulda, and as  An expression of dismissiveness or disappointment concerning a statement, question, explanation, course of action, or occurrence involving hypothetical possibilities, uncertain facts, or missed opportunities. That is a mouth full, but the truth is we sit around killing yourself on the if factor.  When the thoughts come and they will about lost possibilities, missed opportunities in your life you can look at them but don't stare. Don't get hung up on what wronged, the words you did not say or maybe the words you said. Be clear you will make a mistake but don't stay in the mistakes. Learn from it, grow in it and move forward from it. 



Lot's wife felt she was leaving something behind she needed. God had sent angels to get her family out of harm's way. Whether she knows it, she was saying to God that he was not intelligent enough to know to what she was leaving behind. I mean she looked back as if they left behind her husband or daughters. They were with her so want else did she need. I mean God sent angels as her own personal army and that was not enough. We think we are leaving something when we are going into something better.  Don't look back because you will need to explain yourself later to God.

Coulda, shoulda and woulda are the enemies to your dreams hopes and your life. Don't give into them because if you do it will stop you dead in your tracks.

Push Yourself

June 16, 2018 0 Comments





“All the girls jumped up and trimmed their lamps. Then the five who hadn’t any oil begged the others to share with them, for their lamps were going out. Matthew 25:7-8 LTB

This month I'm talking about jumping. It is important for you to take a leap of faith. Trust that God will take care of you no matter what the circumstance or situation. He is with you and that whatever life brings you can make it. 
(1 Cor.10:13)


 First, what does jump mean? They define the word jump as "push oneself off a surface and into the air by using the muscles in one's legs and feet." I love the first two words, push oneself. This is the perfect definition. We all need to push ourselves. This life is difficult.  Kermit the Frog says it best   "That ain't being green.". He wasn't lying. Being different in this world makes your life harder. Whether you are small or tall, black or white, Latino or not, disable or anything that people can see a difference between you and them life becomes harder. People may not like you because of your differences but that means they have to grow. God w bore you to achieve no matter the green in you. That's why you have jumped on every opportunity to live your life to the fullest. You are here for a purpose and let no one tell you different.

Now having said that you have to realize you have to push yourself. Have a determined mind that no matter what I will do it. There will have obstacles in your way whether other people stuff or your stuff. You will have the moments where you will to second guess your decision. Some may not have been the best way to go about but it's done. Fail but keep going. Push forward the purpose and destiny within you. Push yourself because no one else knows what you offer the world. Some may see a piece of it but not all.  

I have a personal checklist that works for me. I will share it with you maybe it can help you. It's called the Push Checklist list. It comprises only three bullet point but they are powerful:
1. Thank God
2. Appreciate yourself 
3. Go bless the world

I will explain all three a little further.

     

Thank God, you must thank him for all he has done. You would not be here without him. He breathed life into you so he has a plan . You are the apple of God's eye and just know that he wants nothing but the best for you and from you.  Thank him for the good and the bad. The days of joy and the days of sorrow. Learn to be thankful because life can make you bitter. Be mindful that there is some else in control and when you follow his plan you can Push yourself to do it.


Appreciate yourself, Life is hard enough without you doubting you. Appreciate the fact that you are where you are because growth needs to happen. Stop saying I'm are not in the right place or it is not the right time". Stop acting like you don't you. You keep criticising yourself for past failures, stuff that you did not do, the things you wish you had done, the people you wish you would have talked to, the job you should have taken. STOP IT. You are where you are for purpose and plan. You are learning a life lesson so you can go back and teach someone else. Stop making life that much harder on yourself. You are right where you need to be, now Push.
                                         



Go bless the world. Show off your gift. The word of God says that gifts are given with repentance. So why are you asking for forgiven for your gift? Everybody is not going to understand or appreciate the gift God gave YOU, God knows who will get you and like you and love you. Whether its two people or millions you have a gift to enhance world show it every day in every way and let God get the glory not you. 


Be the virgins with the oil in the lamp prepared to jump when the time comes.

Jumping in June

June 07, 2018 0 Comments










   Then you will jump up from your ambush and enter the city, for the Lord will give it to you. Joshua 8:7 TLB 


The month of June will stand for jump. What do you need to jump on? We are in the six months of 2018 have you been jumping or sitting? What are you sitting on that is prolonging your destiny and purpose?  

I couldn't find the word jump in the King James Bible but The Living Bible has plenty. The first scripture will come from one of my favorites books of the Bible, Joshua.  Joshua tells the children of Isreal that they had to jump and enter the city because the Lord has given it to them. In the King James version of this scripture, the word jump means to seize. I love that. We have to seize what the Lord has given us. Notice the Lord has given it to us but we have to jump or seize on it.

In your life, have you jumped before? Have you taken a chance on yourself and the destiny you believe God has given you? Does jumping scare you? I mean what would happen if you jumped and failed? Will you be embarrassed that people sawing you hitting the ground?  This prevents most of us from doing it, other people. Not the falling part I mean nobody wants to fail. We would be okay if we jump and fall and we were the only ones to see it.  When others are watching and judging us it takes on a different feel. Then the next time it seems impossible.

The Children of Israel had to jump. They would never get into the promised land if they stayed put. They had to seize. God would show his might in order for them to fight for power. The walls of Jericho fell by their faith in God but taken the city was by their actions to move on the word of God. They had to seize what was theirs. 






We have a promise from God.  In Jeremiah 29:11 it says  " For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. " God has a plan for your life. He made it from the moment he knows you and it has not changed. You can't alter the plans that God has for you because of fear or doubt. I know this because he says his plans s are for good and not evil.  
The devil and his friends will always try to get you to doubt or even fear your destiny and purpose. He will do the "you couldn't do that talk" and the "what will people say" scare. Don't listen to him remember what God says he wants you to have a future and a hope. Your present is not the end keep going more is to come.

   Jump don't fear the bottom it's just the ground and if you hit it get up there is always tomorrow.
