Complain Complain

How do you stop complaining when it has become a nasty habit? I'm not talking about being a negative Nancy I'm talking about regular people like me who try to speak life rather then speak death. But I still complain about something. Whether its being tired or not having some of things I really want. Tips anybody?

Thank you Jesus!

I finally got my corrections done on my book. Faithisms. Its been a rough road. Self publishing is costly. And I ran out of money. The book is not perfect but I did my best. I didn't know what I was doing and I was basically on my own. I am proud of myself for following my dream. But let me tell you. God did this. I had hit so many road blocks. And I told God that this must not be my time. Although I continued to pray about it I began typing up book number two. And I was confident God would work it out. And truth be told I rarely give God a problem and not take it back. Glad I did this time. I got an email that I was getting a free round of corrections. That was nothing but God. To God be the glory! I can't stop crying. My heart is so full! I'm not worthy but thanking God for His grace and mercy! Can I get a witness? Blessings, Peace and Prosperity!

Taking digs

Sometimes the people closest to us tend to take their little digs out on us. That is an insecurity within them. Its hard not to take it personal because it is. They are personally attacking you and its a personal insecurity with them. Know that you are beautifully and wonderfully made. And I can guarantee you that there are many qualities that you have that they wish they had. Love is the only thing that will cancel out hate. And thats what haters do. So let them. And love yourself even more. I would suggest that you say thank you for that dig. Just so that they know you are completely aware of what they just did. No one likes to be called out especially when their intention is to make you feel bad.

Big Faith

The substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen. Although my father named me Faith my faith has been tested and tried many times over. Sometimes I have Big Faith and there are times when my faith seems smaller than a mustard seed. But today I was inspired to flex my Big Faith muscle. We all have a faith muscle but we must flex it to make stronger. Big Faith keeps me writing this blog that seems to go unnoticed.

Favor List

Today I decided to begin making a favor list. We always seem to keep track of the negative things in our lives but today  I'm turning the tables on the enemy. Lately I've been taking mental notes on the favor in my life. So today I'm going one step further. I'm keeping a favor list. Why don't you try it with me? I welcome you to share your favor stories.

Teenagers and condoms

If you tell your teenagers to protect themselves is it giving them permission to have sex? And if so what is age appropriate for this conversation?
