While you are on thisJourney ....Learn Something!

When I started out on this journey of Health, Wellness and Wealth I truly thought that's what this thing was all about.  Little did I know that God had me on a spiritual journey as well.  I started out with a need for something and God has given me far more than I needed or wanted.  I  have been learning so much not only from a spiritual standpoint which is needed as a foundation for anything we do.  But I have also learned so much from a health , and wellness standpoint and it is an amazing journey of personal growth.  Knowledge is power and I thank God for empowering me and if He can do it for me, He can do it for you as well.  You just have to be open to learning and wanting to become a better person and walk in your purpose!  Life has many long drawn out lessons that may take a long time to learn or require great attention, but there are also small nuggets that are equally as important and are easy to grasp if you take the time to learn them.  I am learning so much on this journey and I encourage you to take the time to learn something while you are on yours!

While you are on this Journey…You have got to let Some People Go!

         Just like before when I said some people don’t understand your journey and where God is taking you. In this instance there are people in your life or in your vicinity that do understand and do get where God is taking you but they are jealous and and don’t want to see you prosper or get through and succeed in anything.  Let those people in your life go! I know it can be hard because sometimes you find that those very people are family, and close friends and  not just recent or casual aquantainces.  Don’t hold on to dead weight, don’t crowd your space with people who mean you no good. And it’s not hard to find those folks.  They are the ones who encourage you not go after your dreams, the ones who ask why you always praying, the ones who ask why you always volunteering at the church I know they not paying you.   Don't be fooled they know why you are praying, because you want a breakthrough!  They just don't want you to get the breakthrough. They are too busy wanting to keep you down they ain't got the sense to pray for themselves.  Let ‘em go!  Even if they are long time friends, cut buddies, sisters, brothers, cousins, bff's whatever, if you can’t find the positive things they have added to your life or you can’t find the benefit in them being in your life, do yourself a favor and let them ---Rascals go!   I didn't say don't love them, but you've got to let them Go!  You have a work to do and assignment to finish, and examination to pass a journey to complete and you don’t need any more hindrances than you already have!  The bible says if you go into a place and the people don't receive turn your backs and brush the dust off your feet!  Basically let them Go!  If you want to prosper and become all that you are destined to become, you cannot allow people to hold you back or down!  The journey must go on!

While on this Tedious journey …Take the time to dust off Yourself and Get Refreshed!

When you are traveling along there are a lot of things that people will say and you will hear, there are things you will experience and even things that you will have dumped on you not by your own choosing.  Negative things!  In order to continue on your journey and be productive thereon you have got to dust that stuff off, off, off.  It's got to go you cant be progressive and follow through with the  map God has laid out for you if you are weighted down with unnecessary dirt  it will cause you to lose sight and focus of the master plan.Burdens have an uncanny way of doing that for you and it might not even be your burden.  God is no respecter of man in that He is not going to single anyone out for this or that.  If you didn't already know it neither is burden and or dirt, filth,trash garbage  what ever you choose to call it, bottom line is you need to get it off!  Brush it off take a shower hose down, pull out the lever 2000 or the dial, jump in the ocean and wash it off and refresh yourself and report for duty!  Negativity will weigh you down and render you useless.  There is a lot of mess in the world and while you are walking you are going to kick up a lot of dust its inevitable just don’t let it settle on you!  Get in the word of God and begin to brush off the mess and refresh yourselves daily.

I'm Just Saying....While I'm on my Jouney

God has me on a journey and on this journey I am experiencing so many different things and learning so many wonderful lessons, and the experience is amazing to say the least.  These message are inspired from God as He gives it to me, I give it to you in hopes that it will bless someone in someway, hopefully in a way that has blessed me.  To the best of my ability I am being not only a hearer of the word but a doer as well, and I encourage you to allow God to place you on a journey by having a heart for Him and being obedient to His will and let His Holy Spirit guide you through your travels.  I assure you it will be the most wonderful time in your life.  There will be days of up and days of down but through it all God is standing right there.

So happy travels...as the journey continues.

Don't Be Blind!...Survey the Land While Traveling Your Jouney...

I think one of the biggest reasons people fail at certain things in life, whether it be business, relationships, even school.  It is because we walk blindly!  What can you see in front of you if your eyes are closed?  If you said the back of your eyelids then give yourself a pat on the back. :-)  What are you going to see a far off if your eyes are shut?  Absolutely nothing!  We need to stop walking around with our eyes wide shut.  I speaking not only of a physical state but more so  from a spiritual standpoint.  When you are on a journey you MUST survey the land.  How then else would you know where to go, what streets to cross, what ditches to stay away from, what people to stay away from?  Where the danger signs are?  How many safe zones are there?  How would we know when we need to switch gears if we don't look around us and observe?  People, how will we know what our territory is and how large it's going to be if we have never truly opened our eyes and looked at it!  In Business you have got to look a the whole picture; survey the plan!  Find out where your best market is, what are the downsides, what are the upsides, who is going to be on my team, who is your competition.  Survey the land, I tell you!  In relationships, Survey the land!  Check out the person of interest, are they worthy of being with you, how do they react to these types of situations, how will they react to those types of situations?  What is their background, check out their families, friends, teachers old classmates, bosses!  Survey the Land!  Do we have the same things in common, are we equally yolked?  I'm trying to tell somebody it will save a lot of heartache, time, trouble and frustration if you take the time to do what?  You got it, say it with me Survey the Land!  Even when you are in school you have to survey the land.  Know what type of people and environment is there, know who you want to associate with from who you shouldn't.  Check out the teachers, staff, administrator seek out the ones who show a genuine interest in seeing you succeed!   Check out the courses you are taking and the others that the school offer's so you can be aware.  What type of social and extracurricular clubs and activities do they have that could benefit you.  Survey the land! In life you have to open your eyes and survey the Land!  In Joshua God gave the instructions and Joshua obeyed, and although the full manifestation of the order was not realized until times later but God had specific reasons for saying it.  And if He says it I'm doing it!  ...

As the men started on their way to map out the land, Joshua instructed them, "Go and make a survey of the land and write a description of it. Then return to me, and I will cast lots for you here at Shiloh in the presence of the LORD."  Joshua 18:8
