Daily THOUGHT #41 "Where there is a WILL there is a Way"

Find YOUR WILL & Blaze Your Trail...

Happy Monday everyone! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend, mine was pretty eventful. I am really looking forward to this weekend the most though. If you are unaware, this Friday July 22, 2011, 6pm at J's Special Occasions, 5080 Meridian St., "Success 4 the Future" Charity Foundation 4 Kids ages 3-18 will be hosting the 1st "Reading is Fun...The Mental" Benefit Dinner in efforts to raise money to donate 5,000 books to kids in the community as well renovate the Councill High School building in Huntsville, AL to be used as a Student Learning Center and temporary headquarters. Tickets are $10, if you are in the area PLEASE support this worthy cause. Businesses also please contact me so we can discuss ways to advertise your company. "Where there is a WILL there is a way"

I wish people would be more willing to support the endeavors and ambitions of people like it was back in the day. It seemed like there was a desire to stand up for something. There was a reason to know the people that were around you. There was a true purpose behind being educated in something. There was a true respect for history. As time has progressed, we have begin to dismiss the simple things that gelled and held things together for the uplift of a collective people. We have moved into a market based society and technology ruled environment and because of that we relinquish our passion to be exposed to and involved with what's going on in the world.

Too many times we come up with bright ideas or speak certain things that even surprise us when it comes out of our mouths. But instead of analyzing what just happened, we kind of brush it off and shrug our shoulders to it. Think about that one situation in your life where you could have been gone, but God spared you. Imagine that same situation occurred,but he just shrugged his shoulders and let whatever was going to happen to you happen and that be it. You would be in pretty bad shape. We must treat our ideas and what we consider crazy and ironic events as God did when he spared us. If we do, the manifestation of overflow is directly around the corner.

When you have a WILL to do something, you then begin to speak the things that you need in order to make things work, and turn that dream of yours into reality. By talking to yourself and to others about your ideas, you then open the door that leads to other rooms, all pertaining to the mission and task at hand. Next time that you think of something you want to accomplish, speak it and do it with confidence and watch how results begin to prosper! Don't think to far out on this one, but it's all in the tongue!

As you tackle the heavy burdens that are destined with this thing called life, speak over and control your situations. You have the power to make things the way that they should or shouldn't be. Which will you choose? Your chance to change the world may be right before you. Remember God don't wait forever! Say today that you will have a positive week. Continue to speak it and watch how things pan out! Take Care!

Sunday Reflection #3 "THE WILL OF GOD IS OF THE KINGDOM"

Really listen to your heart...It WILL tell you the right thing!

It's still overwhelming to me in what mysterious ways our Lord and Savior works in. How he will put us in situations where we will be able to notice that he is speaking to us. The hard part is actually recognizing what he is saying and what we are supposed to be doing in reaction to what has been put before us. From the usage of vehicles, to people we have never seen before, to the weather, words that our friends say and even something that surprisingly occurs at the workplace, we all get signs...It's just the matter of when we will finally pay attention?

For some purpose we each were put here and because of that, God loves us each as his own...Yes, even if you are way off in left field, doing things you know you shouldn't be doing, putting yourself and others in horrible situations, stressing yourself out over uncontrollable things, being disobedient to your heart or even causing physical harm to others...He still loves you and WILL forgive you, if you ask and believe. There are so many blessings that are out there just ready to be received, but we have to walk into them and the only way that is possible is if we understand what exactly we are walking into and we listen with all of our senses, not just our ears.

The WILL of God is like the constitution of the United States of America, only he doesn't write something, declare something or say something and then make complete and total disregard to what he has fostered as to be true and confirmed. Sure enough the constitution sounds great, but who in the U.S. can actually say that we are running our country based on the beginning principles of the founding fathers? Heck, that was thrown out of the window the moment that our settlers invested in slaves. Please dismiss me from any conversation that involves the the astonishing amazement of the American way! Because honestly to me that is a bunch of crap.

We are so blessed to be able to live in a nation where people like John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Bill Clinton walked the same places that we are able to align our feet with. These gentlemen were prime examples of God's will and a testament that God makes no mistakes. If you can't step outside now and feel that something astonishing is about to happen, you need to sit down and do a little recollecting. So many energies are controlling the atmosphere now. We are amongst a war that we are not even aware of, but we steady fight in it on a daily basis! I will let you figure that one out.

When the children of Israel were set free, they wondered in the wilderness for 14, 600 days on a journey that could have been finished in 11 days. Now why is that? Simple, that's what happens when you are disobedient. See this is the thing, God made a promise to his people and so he made sure that he adhered to that. But just as he promised to secure their existence, he also asked that they do as they were told. The fact that they would soon reach safety was affirmed but the way by which they would get there, it was on them.

God has prepared something special for each of us and if we are Willing to embrace his presence, we will be able to achieve and obtain things that are far and beyond anything that we would have ever imagined. There is something that God has in his WILL for you as well. What are you doing to make it happen? What are you learning from the people around you and the situations that occur in your life. What are you noticing from the places you are going and things you are seeing?And most importantly, when are you going to start doing something about it? Time is steady winding up. Why leave this earth having something inside of you that could have been shared with the world. Why leave this earth feeling that you are incomplete and unfinished? "The WILL of God is of the Kingdom"...Are you?

Daily THOUGHT #40 "PROMISE as I Would Use it"

Where are you with PROMISE?

The Living Webster Encyclopedic Dictionary of the English Language defines PROMISE as "A declaration made, as to another person, with respect to the future, giving assurance that one will do or not do something, or that something shall or shall not happen; a pledge; vow; something that has the affect of an assurance; and indication of what may be expected; an indication of fulfillment or future excellence."

When comparing to the moods and personalities of individuals, a PROMISE is something that is agreed upon to happen between oneself or a group of people, but is subject to alter due to the occurrence of certain situations and motives of the involved parties. When you look at the government and military units, there are several things that are not supposed to happen as well several things that governed citizens should know about because of a PROMISE, or oath that was taken by the elected or appointed officials, but because of their own judgement, they choose to do and say what they want to say.

Many people find themselves in relationships that are full of PROMISE, especially at the beginning, but as true traits of the human begin to become exposed, it become really difficult to strand true to the original purpose. No man made thing is of full PROMISE, so we should never depend on it to be so, nor should we react in a manner of frustration because something stopped working or malfunctioned, because it was meant to do that. Just as we were born in a world of sin, it was made in a world of imperfection. So deal with it. 

I hope that you learned a little something from the "Week of PROMISE". Be careful how you use that word, because some people only know the definition, they haven't been exposed to the way things go when people put themselves before their word. Some people still assume that things are genuine. Be kind to someone you don't know and I PROMISE something special will happen.

Daily THOUGHT #39 "What You Know You Will Never PROMISE!"

Really? No you don't!

As you know I usually designate the 4 & 9 Blog for my viewers opinions. So this week I want you to tell me about the things "What You Know You Will Never Promise!" even if you have felt that for years or you just recently came to that conclusion because of some life changing experience. I mentioned earlier in the week how strong this word is and how loosely it is used however. Let me know what the word means to you as well.

 I like to think about how parents always make comparisons to their parents. It's funny how there are the things that you automatically know you are different from the two parties and then there are the things that you don't have to be a parent to experience. If you reflect to when you were growing up, there were things that your parents told you to do or that they did on their own, which you said you would never do in any lifetime...But as you got older, my, my, my the similarities.

Put some THOUGHT into your expressions. The person with the best response will receive a FREE ticket to The "Reading is Fun...The Mental" Benefit Dinner to be help on Friday July 22, 2011, 7pm at J's Special Occasions. Looking forward to your entries.

Daily THOUGHT #38 "The Broken PROMISE"

What cracks Your shell?

From the blowing of fast air on the cartridges of the original Nintendo games, from having to constantly press the reset button on every other console that came along as technology advanced. To slamming laptops and throwing cell phones in the water because these products simply weren't performing on the level of expectation. We have all encountered situations where the expected PROMISE of the product was Broken. Some people have had trouble with home appliances, vehicles and sometimes even the machines used to prepare or store our foods and other necessities.

Believe it or not, a lot of that comes from the inner belief towards the advertized promise, becoming an outward expression. "When you believe something is a certain way and then begin to solicit a feeling towards that object, you then create and environment of anticipated results." However we must remember not to acknowledge such pieces as full pies. What does that mean you say? Man made objects are exactly what they are called....Man made, so the idea that these products will function in a perfect manner is obsolete and righteously should be disregarded, because the moment that you most need it to work or prove your declaration, that's when it fails to perform.

Interesting how a minister once said in a sermon that people tend to praise the blessing and leave out the bless-er, that is a big no, no. I believe that we have certain devices to do certain things and we should respect them accordingly. When you glance at how technology has improved over the centuries, it's amazing to see how powerful the THOUGHT processes were for our crafty innovators. They were able to piece together a puzzle that has kept it's shape and in some cases even expanded.

One thing we can not forget however is that everything in life comes from trial and error. And some of the most important inventions came from making a mistake. We must analyze our lives in the same light. We do things because that we believe are appropriate for the time being. Whether that action be right or wrong, it is what we decided to do. We must make sure that we are making notes of our habits, abilities, demeanor's and ways of living. Once we do that, we may then begin an investigation on ourselves. Evaluate yourself to see what makes you happy, what makes you upset, what makes you distracted and what makes you prosperous. Once you know this information like the back of your hand, apply it to your everyday life and watch how things begin to manifest.

Daily THOUGHT #37 "Is there any PROMISE in that?"

It's all in the expressing...Think about it...

Webster defines the word doubt as: "To waver or fluctuate in opinion, to be uncertain respecting the truth of fact, to be undetermined, to question or hold questionable, to withhold assent from, to hesitate to believe and to suspect or see in suspicion. Wow! That is a lot, but still very simple and concrete all at the same time. "Doubt is the prelude to the musical masterpiece ~Can't~"...Can't is a movement composed by composers that are not sure of things and composers of earthly mental dwelling.

See when your mind is fixed on the interpretation of what someone else believes or practices, you then become content with the methods and motives of people rather than the correctness and appearance of a situation. By sacrificing opportunity, you only submit yourself to the negatives of possibility. Expression is made upon what we believe is Promised in a circumstance or idea. We must ensure that we are collecting and filtering the THOUGHTs that make up our daily actions.

If you think something should be done and it will benefit a majority in a positive light...Why not? Go for it. The fact that someone is saying that it won't happen or road blocks that just seem to appear out of nowhere pop up only solidifies that the test of your faith is upon you. It is so simple for things to go the way that we want, when we are doing positive and speaking things into existence. The matter of you believing will determine how long it takes and to what extent your mission will be manifested. We live in a time where dreams have become just what they are called instead of the blueprint to innovation that helps shape the world!

How long can we sit and pretend as if we don't base our actions or beliefs towards people simply on what they can PROMISE us. It's actually sad to me, because I look at life as an opportunity to gain from association. By aligning yourself with multiple personalities and ways of thinking, regardless of what they can physically give you, you must respect and appreciate the mental challenge and development that will be established from the many acquaintances. You will be tested from all different levels on several different occasions.

When looking out into the adventures of the world, determine if there is any promise in that. When doing for others, don't do things for recognition or the belief that you will get something as an equalizer to your services. Do good things and know that there is a PROMISE of great reward and favor to those who go about things in that manner. When taking risks, know that it is exactly what you want to do and not the influence or adaptation of a particular surrounding. Think it through and you will be fine! A lot of stuff coming today, so enjoy!

Daily THOUGHT #36 "PROMISE Keepers Losers Weepers"

A man is only as good as his word...

I know that everyone remembers that phrase from when we were little: "Finders keepers, losers weepers", well it has come back into play today. Only this time, I replaced finders with PROMISE. Let me explain why...This is the "Week of PROMISE" in #TheScoop and I THOUGHT this would be a very interesting challenge for me to tackle. You must understand that this is knowledge that I write fresh every morning, like going to the meat market and watching the butcher cut it...When I wake up, whatever I am thinking, that's what you get.

I guess you can say that I have made that PROMISE to myself to get up and make sure that I spread the word to someone, even if it is just one. We find ourselves in situations where we are dependent on the vocal delivery of certain individuals in our lives. We see ourselves expecting to receive something, especially when the feast has been laid before our eyes. Is that wrong to do? No! If someone says that they are going to do something then you should expect them to do it. The moment that you begin doubting the actuality of it happening, it then becomes a possibility, and let me warn you...Possibility is a dangerous energy.

For those who follow my blogs pretty frequently you know how much I like to discuss how relevant the energies that we give off are, to our lives and all the life in our surroundings. With the energy of possibility, you are then put in a place to prepare for something, anticipate something, adjust for something to arrive and even promote to others for something that has now become not necessarily guaranteed. Man...what a bind this is. By speaking your emotions on the subject matter, you are then placing the results into the hands of the atmosphere, so be careful what you say and what you wish for!

"PROMISE is such a strong word, that is used so weakly"...We are such humans when it comes to pleasing ourselves through others. We live in a manner in which we determine how we feel based on what others feel about us. We must learn that it is our job, indeed, to care for others but not be subject to the judgement of people unworthy to judge. You must make a PROMISE that you will love others as you love yourself...First and foremost. I will be the first to tell you that I will give my last for another person, as well I will be the first to tell you that I will help anyone in any fashion that I can. If I was unable to put myself on the same pedestal, then that would only be a statement and I would indeed be a loser.

Don't mistake the word loser for somebody who is worthless or of no importance. This simply means that you were defeated in battle. This life we live is a war and you either have several allies or several enemies. Whatever PROMISE you make or break will determine what color light sabre you are fighting with! Just cause you lose doesn't mean that it is over. All this means is that you have to find away to not be in that situation again. You must PROMISE yourself that you will do what it takes to get where you want to go and be what you want to be. I mentioned in yesterday's Sunday Reflection how we must listen when God speaks to us. He made a PROMISE to us as well and he fulfills it day by day to those who are willing to believe and receive. Are you ready to be a PROMISE Keeper and dwell in positive energies or do you plan on remaining a Weeping Loser? Your Call...
