Astonished, Mary became speechless as she stared in Mark's eyes with disbelief. She thought to herself, "Me? Why Me? Couldn't he choose someone else? I haven't anything to offer him."As Mary snapped out of it, she softly said, "I can't, I don't want to explain but I just can't!" Swiftly Mary left the table and headed to the back of the coffee shop. As she sat down she began to contemplate what she would say to Mark when she saw him again.


Week after week, Mary did everything she could to avoid Mark. He had left her several notes about just wanting to talk to her. He wanted to express that he never meant to upset her. But it was no use, Mary refused to speak to Mark. The weeks of silence turned into months and the months into a year. Mark only wanted Mary to be happy so he dared not push her or make her feel uncomfortable by continuing to leave her notes at work. As time went by they both went on with their lives but one could only wonder what could have happen if Mary had filtered her thoughts about herself. 


It's not about what you have or don't have. The clothes you wear, your style, your hair, your financial status or your background is irrelevant when it comes to defining you.It's important to have good thoughts about who you are. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he"  Proverbs 23:7 Your thoughts control your future! Just look around at your current situation. Whatever you see before you started with a simple thought! Think about it.


Mary didn't think that she was worthy of Mark so she drove him away. She also pushed away what could have been the answer to her prayers. Maybe for you it wasn't a guy but a job or opportunity you wanted but didn't pursue because you didn't think that you were worthy of it!


Don't let your thoughts rule your life, rule your thoughts!

No Looking Back!!!!

Countless times I have looked back over my life in regret wishing that I could rewind time and change a few things or eliminate things (and people) altogether. However, I truly believe that there are things and situations that if it doesn't kill you will make you stronger. I also learned that if I continued to focus on my past, I would forfeit my future. So I......... Let Go and I encourage you to do the same!


Let Go of Past Hurts!
Let Go of Past Disappointments!
Let Go of Past Failures!
Let Go of Past Mistakes!


LET GO! LET GO! LET GO!

You're Beautiful, It's True!

The Company You Keep

                                                                           

Companies around the world take inventory of their products, especially grocery chains and clothing stores. These companies must analyze the growth and losses in order to remain profitable. As a result, reports are created that shows which products are profitable and which ones are not. If there are products that aren’t doing well, the company make assess what can be done to improve profit.

Like companies, we must constantly take inventory of the people whom we allow in our inner circle. But before we take inventory, we must be willing to be truthful with ourselves and not make excuses for holding on to people we need to let go.

~Thought Control~

What you think about yourself matters. Why? Because your thoughts affect your emotions which in turn causes you to act according to how you feel.

For example, if someone thinks that they are not worthy then their emotion will reflect low self-esteem. As a result, his or her performance will always mirror less than their best. Subconsciously, this person will behave in a way that will give them results that confirm what they think about themselves.

Dare to Dream......Again

 South Carolina’s Motto: While I breathe, I hope

As long as you have life in your body, you have hope and as long as you have hope, there is potential for the manifestation of your dreams.

                                 

One of my previous dreams came to me around the age of 26. I was working at an electric company part-time. My dream was to retire before 30 so that I can be a stay-at-home mom. [Before sharing the rest of my testimony, I would like to caution you about whom you share your dreams with] However, I did not take this advice and I told my co-workers and of course they laughed and behaved in many discouraging ways. In addition to unbelieving co-workers there were many things that took place to discourage me but I held onto my dream.

Although my dream didn’t come to past right away-I held three other jobs after that job at the electric company- my dream did come true. Before the age of 30, I retired. I am currently a stay-at-home mom with five children!I give God all the glory for my dream coming to past because I could not have done it without Him.

No matter what your situation looks like, I encourage you to dream again and (or) hold onto your dreams. There is evidence all around you that someone didn’t give up on their dreams no matter what obstacles came their way. Obstacles will come but use those obstacles as opportunities to push forward and pursue your dream even more.

What is your dream????

Who is Jaycee Lee Dugard?

Jaycee Dugard, mostly known as a woman who was once kidnapped as a little girl and held captive for many grueling years. While not making light of any part of what Jaycee endured, it is her current mindset and the place that she is in now that captured me the most.

According to her interview with Diane Sawyer, Jaycee explained how she has overcome the evil that was done to her. She not only refused to allow the man that stole her childhood to take anymore of her life by refusing to be angry towards him but she made the decision to live and not die.
