Hello everyone! I hope that the new year is finding you in good cheer. Sometimes the worries and stresses of life make us forget the good things. But remember that every dark cloud has a silver lining. Strive for success in all that you do and reach for your goals no matter the obstacles in your way. Our thoughts become manifestations of our hopes and dreams. The Bible tells us that whatsoever a man thinketh,that so he is. If you believe you will fail then you will but if you believe you will succeed you will. Have faith in yourself and think positive. Remember the law of attraction tells us that we draw things to ourselves through the power of thought. If you want successful outcomes in life then surround yourself with positive energy and good things will come. Remember Romans 8:31 If God is for us, who can ever be against us? I will leave you with the poem entitled Invictus for the day: Invictus (means undefeated) Out of the night that covers me Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. William Ernest Henley Have a blessed day and always keep God first in your life

Did you make a New Year's resolution? Are you sticking to it or have you begun to backslide already? Whether it's saying you will stop smoking, drinking, doing drugs, overeating, cheating ect. The list of what we need to fix is endless. How many times have we said that we would do things differently after the new year? That we will not go into another year with the same old crap? But before you realize it you have reverted back to your old habits. Just remember that old saying "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. There are some things that you must simply let go. LET IT GO!!! If you've got baggage that's holding you back or bringing you down, making you depressed, stressing you, making you cry, or leaving you feeling emotionally drained just let it go. Whether it's a relationship, friendship, or job, if the situation is causing you drama or stress stop holding on to it. God has something better in store for you so you don't have to settle. Get rid of what you don't need and find what you want. Life is too short to waste your time on things that bring you grief. Those negative people who criticize your hopes and dreams, the ones that always have something negative to say, the ones who always want something from you but never have anything to give kiss them good bye. Make worry a thing of the past. Remember there are two types of people worriers and warriors. The worrier has no faith so they are consumed with fear. But the warrior has faith so the have no fear because fear and faith can not dwell in the same space. A worrier will worry themselves to death over things that may never happen, while the warrior prepares for battle. The warrior knows that if God brought you to it he'll bring you through it. Remember you can never move ahead if you keep looking back. If you don't like an aspect of your life then by all means change it. Above all things keep God first. Shoot for the moon so even if you miss you'll be among the stars.
