Friends are like Itchy Quilts
I had a long talk with someone and they telling me about a friend,and how they daily encouraged the person.I thought it was cool.She sends daily affirmations to encourage this person letting them know they are awesome!clever!beautiful!creative! and whatever else she could think of.
Something so small can make a world of difference.How awesome!!How life changing for someone to look on you and take the time to say things TO you that you may not think of yourself.What a GODSEND.
In the same hour I was convicted because on another subject she kinda called me out about the way that seems right to me when I am venting or handling information.Though no harm was meant on my behalf, there could still be potential damage.
At that moment I was taken back because I had to think of all of the others times I had probably...no DID, do the same thing not thinking about the effects.Needless to say, I was quick to ask God to help me.
Do you ever need someone to relate to in the moment?Do you ever need to find the answer in another experience,so you'll know the resolve?
Well I went to the bible and all I kept thinking about was the children of Israel and the time where they had sent out men from their tribes to view the promised land.If you've never read it go check it out Numbers 13 .
After 40 days of looking over the land, there were 2 different reports given of the same land.A few saw it as flowing with milk and honey; fruitful; and the others saw it as scary and dangerous,full of giants;unconquerable.Which report do you think the people listened to?The TERRIFYING one?The one that was negative.It sent total fear and chaos!Can you imagine?
Immediately I thought about what a bad report could do ,the power of a SLOPPY tongue...it could destroy dreams and visions,dim the light of promises.A viewpoint...not even fact!
This is my interpretation....lol I'm not a theologian,there's MUCH more to be said.But I was convicted and had to think about all the dreams and expectations I murdered because of my viewpoint,or opinions.So I was quick to confess my faults before God and ask for forgiveness.The consequences are MUCH more than I can take.
So i resolve to encourage,Im not saying put a cushion on reality,lets be real there ARE scary and true.But the saying goes ,"EVERY TRUTH IS NOT MEANT TO BE SAID".
I digress,I am changing and I am EVER so glad for correction ,as much as it hurts,if you cant be corrected,you;re not where you think you are.
Can you relate?

I can do better....
Reverting to my last post ...HERE
Have you ever had a month,a year,a DAY where you ask yourself?How in the world did I get here???
It was a series of events that led up to ONE highlighted event that shed light on all of the others.
I consider myself to be financially......safe...lol HA! ...WHATEVER THAT MEANS..lol
However I sometimes spend as if I have a rich alter ego.
I'm coming to realize that no one is picking up the bill..but ME .I am the one paying for all of the expenses and am left to fork over the moolah EACH and every time I spend! duh!
Anyway I said that to say this...
I no longer wish to be "safe" I need to be secure. Aha! Do they mean the same thing ..?no.Safe is cool...(away from harm) i.e. I don't have pookie and them looking for their money following me around in a tinted black car.That's more like..Umbrella in rainstorm........
"Secure"-Make certain in the future. <<------THAT is where I need to be (i.e...a routine is now a habit,embedded in me and a lifestyle).Imagine seat belt secure...not a car seat belt..no, like and 16 story ride at Dorney Park seat belt secure..Got the visual?Good.
is this making sense?
I literally less than 10 min ago ..printed out my bank statement and went to dissecting my funds.Highlighting the nonsense and the necessary...and guess what came head to head ??Nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhh.
Well I'm done with lying to myself and feeling like if I do good one month and have excess income,I've graduated into the better bank habit league.I can't start and stop.It's scary.
As a new business owner,learning that my gifts will one day be my MAIN source of income and possibly livelihood UNLESS I MARRY DWIGHT HOWARD-#dontjudgeme I MUST do better.
I wont beat myself up...BUT I must push myself.
I must tell yo that this morning .....I felt schizophrenic moving my legs in and out of the square blocks on the ground as I shuffled back and forth wondering if I should stop for coffee at (fill in the blank)...I must've look REALLY confused.
But I took a deep breath and walked straight to work.
Anyway I saw this on this BLOG and I became encouraged.
I CAN do better...and since can means physically able...I WILL do better.
