Let the past be the past

Let the Past Be the Past
“Make peace with your past. We are the sum of our experiences. Were not for those experiences, you would not be the person you are today. I believe we are all born with the ability to turn our difficulties into opportunities. In owning all of it, I value the experiences, good and not-so-good, as blessings which ultimately created me, the person I am today. Without shame, I fully own my name, who I was, and who I am today.” ~ Patricia Bonelli 


Who has your past made you into? 
All experience good and bad can be used for the benefit of your life. 
Because when one door closes another ultimately opens. 
How can you grab all of what's in store for you if your hands are full of the Past! 
We remember our past, we don't have to take up residence there. 

Holding on to a broken relationship stunts our growth. You don't get points from The Uni-verse for how much you suffer. The Uni-verse wants to deliver to you all that your heart desires.

God will stir you out of a comfortable situation. When you go thru persecution and rejection, it's not always because somebody has it in for you. Sometimes, that's Gods way of directing you into His perfect will. He's trying to get you to stretch to the next level.

Life is not a struggle; the only struggle is your resistance to allowing reality to be exactly as it is. Struggles would disappear if you could allow the comings and goings of life flow through you with the trust that everything that is happening to you is for your best interest, even if you can't see it right now. Allowing reality to be exactly as it is - this is the first step towards transformation." 

The reality of it all is we all have a story! We all have a past. But we cannot allow the Past (where we have been) dictate our future (where we are going). 
Take what you've been thru and learn the lesson and grow, move forward to bigger and better, because you deserve it!

Are you a Thermometer or a Thermostat?

Are you a Thermometer or a Thermostat? Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking."Romans 12:2 TM Don't be a thermometer, be a thermostat. Thermometers just reflect the climate around them - thermostats set it. Actually, they lift it! Most of us are like thermometers reflecting the culture around us. We buy things others buy, say things others say, wear things others wear, and value things others value. Oh, there are slight variations, but most of the time we don't set the climate for the world we live in; we simply adjust to it. But not overcomers! No, they take life to the next level. They become thermostats and change the environment in which they're placed. For instance, you may know people who raise the Spiritual temperature of a group or determine the attitudes of others just by being present. They're pacesetters. They influence, rather than merely allowing others to influence them. Paul's challenge to ...

The Lost Tribe Of REAL Woman

I have touched on this topic in the past, and due to current events felt the need to revisit it. In the year 2011 I have come across many situations that have made me ask the question, "where are all the real women?" In a time downtrodden with the insurgence of reality television. The images of Real Women doing Real things are few and far in between. It seems as society has embraced the images of women fighting and gossiping and crabbing* each other as the norm. But did I miss the memo or something? I wasn't aware that this was the way to carry yourself as a woman, a mother, a sista, a friend...ect. Since when did it become ok to not be happy with yourself so you drag down every and anyone around you? Quoting Basketball Wives, Love & Hip Hop, and Nicki Minaj like its sacred grail. Catchy one liners for tee shirts is not what life should be made of. There was a time when a Woman could compliment another Woman not knowing her personally, but just out of respect...
