As you celebrate mankind’s earthly Father’s, don’t leave out Our Father, Creator. Smile

Without Him there would be no Us. Without Him the world would not be. (for all kinds of reasons)  Without Him there would be no Love as He is the originator of Love. The true Love of a Father of which He shows us daily…. ” if we allow Him too.” It is our Heavenly Father who Loves us unconditionally and we can rest in the Truth He will be there for us whenever we need him.. even when we think we are not worthy or He doesn’t want to have anything to do with us. That could not be further from the truth. As a Loving Father His desire is that we return to Him that He might Love us up and show us how Love works, how it creates Peace, Joy, and a wholeness within our hearts. How it dispels darkness with it’s Light. How if you don’t have earthly parents you still have parents in the Kingdom of God. So today, spend a little time with ” The Father” and share all the attributes of the Love He shares and breathed in US…his earthly children. To God, my Father, Happy Father’s Day, DAD!  Thank you for showing me LOVE is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

To ALL earthly fathers today, HAPPY FATHER’s DAY!  And may your day be filled with the joys of Love between you and your offspring.

For those who don’t have earthly Fathers in their lives for whatever reason. In these cases we should remember to honor those who have passed on or that represent that role in your life, whoever fulfilled that role. That person may even be your Mother who has carried both roles of Mom and Dad in your life.  In defining a Father it is typically by the role played as a Parent: The role is all designed to enrich his/her own life and the lives of the children. When these roles are understood and pursued with determination, the child and parent are blessed. I know, I know many are saying but, a Mom is not a Dad. This is true in the physical sense of the word and in some aspects in the way a Father loves, as male and female are designed and do love different than one another. However, Many Moms have had to learn to love like a Father that they might raise healthy children in a single home. Just as many Single Dad’s must learn to love and be Mom’s to their children. In my opinion, we should have “Parents Day” and honor our parents together or if only one.. that one whoever that may be. Their are sisters who have raised their siblings, adoptive parents, step Dads, or maybe it was your teacher, coach, or pastor that fulfilled that role, or a neighbor. Be sure to reach out and say Thank You to whomever that was.

Think about it Who played a parental role in your life?  Was it a Mom or a Dad role? Was it one person or more than one?

Okey Dokey, I think I have said enough.  Have a Great Father’s Day!

Shalom!

Is eateth really a word.. I don’t know however, it will serve my purpose in this post. LOL  Proverbs 23:7 says   And mankinds lifestyle is proving as he eateth so is he also.  Obesity is a huge problem. Especially in America. The adult obesity rate is 32.2% for men & 35.5% in women. That is ALOT considering the population in America.  And these are only the statistics for America. Sad really, it shows how negligent we have become in our eating habits and caring for our temples. I know I am overweight not lots but, 15 lbs is 15 lbs and it is not good for my heart or any part of me actually. All sorts of health issues arise from overeating and being over weight not to mention how tired it makes you. My sweet GP said, “Renee’ if you want to live a holistic life (whole life) I highly recommend you change to a Mediterranean diet and exercise “at least” 20 mins a day.  Well, of course I procrastinated. Which at that time that only meant I wouldn’t accept the Now of my life.  And the even crazier part was for years I really took care of my self and did eat predominately this diet and Felt Great! Looked great! Had lots energy..etc. Then I let life’s stressors drag me out of good choices into quick fix choices.

After I left her office, I dabbled and slowly began changing my habits yet still falling off the wagon all to often eating pure junk and eating out much to often. (addition is addiction ya know & the junk in processed foods no matter how fancy they fix it does create food addictions)  Finally, this year I am getting back on track. After speaking to many of my friends in the same position or many having health issues due to their diets and lack of exercise (20 mins people come on) , I felt it was time to share this post.

Here is what Mayo clinic says about this diet: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/mediterranean-diet/art-20047801

How Does the Mediterranean Diet Work?

The Mediterranean diet will help you change your eating habits with little effort and no guesswork.

• Eat natural, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts.
• Make olive oil your primary source of dietary fat
• Reduce the consumption of red meat (Monthly)
• Eat little to moderate amounts of fish and white meat (Weekly)
• Drink a moderate amount of wine (up to one to two glasses per day for men and up to one glass per day for women)

Just one day of your new lifestyle and you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it!

Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet

A lot of scientists believe the Mediterranean Diet is the gold standard in healthy eating. New studies appear regularly in leading scientific journals, supporting the healthfulness of the Mediterranean Diet.

These are some examples of studies confirming its health benefits (*):

• Boost your heart health: Diet alone could boost your heart health [1]
• Reach your ideal weight: People following a Mediterranean style diet have more long-term benefits and lose weight safely [2]
• Control your blood sugar: Mediterranean diet could help you prevent high blood sugar [3]
• Improve bone health: People from the Mediterranean countries have lower rates of hip fractures. [4]
• Improve your brain health: Antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables play an important role in cognitive capacity [5]

At almost 63 that last one improve brain health really taps me up. Smile

Well, I pray whoever reads this will do a review of themselves asking, ” am I honoring my temple”  ” Do I want a quality life as I age or to be progressively becoming an unhealthy person?”  Your Choice.

Shalom!

Greetings! I know, I know it’s been awhile since my last post.  I was doing some looking at myself and those I interact with. God showed me what we see in others is some component within our selves. Good and Bad. Which is why the Book says in Matthew 7    ” Judge not, that ye be not judged.² For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.³ And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Think about it and watch you will find, most of the time, what you are judging is something you have done, at some point, yourself. I believe this is why we recognize it in the 1st place. Of course anything we find unpleasant we don’t like to see in ourselves much less admit. Example: a neighbor is what I call a little “rough around the edges”  not knowing the best way to present her passions or emotional upsets.  Hmmm, have I been there and got a T-shirt. Yes! and I am sure the same thought ran thru people’s minds when I was at that spot on the road in my journey. Or how about the car bumpin’ that bass as they drive down the road?  Can you say ” I never” . I can’t, I have bumped my gospel music and blues at assorted times.. why? Cause I love it and somehow it sounds great to turn it up! Especially when I want to sing along…if nothing else to hide my voice. LOL    Or haven’t you ever stepped out and ran to the store without being all polished and looking your best?

Yep, in today’s world of judgments and quick to post those judgments whether it is FB, Twitter, or whatever…take a moment and ask yourself, ” do I have that beam in my eye?” or ” have I been there myself?”  Careful, do you really want to pass judgment for the world to see and hear?  Ya know someone just might come back saying, ” oh girl, I know you can relate, remember when you were out on the street acting a fool behind that man of yours….”    Yep, God has been revealing to me a lot lately, no not one of us is perfect and Real Love is full of mercy and grace of which every one of us needs at different times in different seasons but, no not one of us can judge another.

On that note: I leave you saying, ” who can cast the 1st stone?”  & this song:   Hugs.

Hi ya’ll.  I am settled Down for my remaining years! I am here to testify while I have been blessed to live in beautiful places and for some time enjoyed relocating, I am sure rejoicing to finally have my own home to settle down in. And it is in a great place too!

There is a lot to be said I realize about owning your own home and as God says now I can say too:  ” in this house we…” (whatever I want to say goes in this house).  Being a renter most of my life and living in most of the time in tiny house style 750 sq ft or less there have always been restrictions imposed by the owners. Now I am the owner and I realized can turn my music up! I can paint whatever colors I like. I live in 1450 sq ft two story now and WOW what a difference- you don’t even hear the music outside, nor am I disturbing the neighbor on my common wall. Because there is no common wall. What a Blessing!  And since I don’t have to wear a headset while enjoying my fav tunes I can dance around all over while I decorate my new home!  It is fantastic!  Silly sounding maybe but, not to me.

Another blessing in my older style home is all it’s character and a Basement! Somewhere to make my mess and not mess up the entire house. I can create, store, and dance around down there too.

Yep, this post is to say THANK YOU LORD! for providing my new home and all the fun things I am discovering.  And the best one of all…I know have a Prayer/Meditation room just for Me & JC…my BFF!

Hugs to all and Shalom!

Like Davie Bowie says, “Let’s Dance” ! Dancing is a Powerful Fun tool to aid your lifestyle in many areas of our life.  Did you know the Word encourages dance and God loves Music and when we Dance ? Here is just one verse that makes that clear:  Psalms 149:3 “Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp.”  Did you know that Dancing increases brain function? Dancing improves brain function on a variety of levels. Through regular aerobic training that incorporates some type of dance at least once a week anyone can maximize his or her brain function.  Did you ever think dancing tango could increase your creativity? Or that by moving your body freely on a daily basis you could boost your self-esteem in an unprecedented way? Psychologist and dancer Peter Lovatt says in his unconventional presentation on good moves. “If my mood was ever low, then dance would lift my mood.” he says. Also: “Dance gives me a boost that nothing else gives me.”    Can I get an AMEN? I am here to testify to these truths. Whenever I am a little down or stressed I turn on the music and Dance! In no time my mood has shifted. It always amazes me no matter whether it is slow, fast, or just swaying to the music my moods shifts. It’s been proven: “Your body posture changes the way you think about problems. It influences the decisions you make in life even after one minute. ”   On that note I leave you to go Praise and Dance for my Lord to one of my favorite Praise singers Michael Ben David & my fav song: ” Sing to the Lord. ”

Below I have added the website with more info on the Benefits of dancing & David Bowies ” Let’s Dance!”

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-athletes-way/201310/why-is-dancing-so-good-your-brain

https://www.bing.com/search?q=david+bowie+song+let%27s+dance&form=EDGSPH&mkt=en-us&httpsmsn=1&refig=d03ec90efe7b4b57b6b21af7f252fbd4&PC=DCTE&sp=1&ghc=1&qs=AS&pq=david+bowie+song+let%27s+&sc=3-23&cvid=d03ec90efe7b4b57b6b21af7f252fbd4&cc=US&setlang=en-US

PS: I would be remiss if I didn’t mention this:  Consider where you dance and who you are dancing for as “All dance” is not pleasing in the eyes of God but, most is a Big YES! Never fear His Spirit within you will let you know if you are dancing inappropriately.

Shalom!

Sometimes life brings you to a place of feeling, ” enough already”.  You are overwhelmed with the things of the world. Just too many things are stacked on your plate and your mind/emotions have reached their limit. When this emotion takes the lead in your life…STOP!  Take time to love thyself and regroup. Don’t just say ” enough ” and keep allowing life to pile it on. Even 5 mins. can create a shift within you. Best case scenario, if possible, is to take an hour, spend some quality time with Yeshua in Prayer, Meditation, pulling weeds and planting new seeds in the inner garden of the heart and mind.  When you allow the weeds to be cleared it gives you eyes to see and ears to hear….which results in Peace, Mercy, Forgiveness, and Tranquility in the garden.

Are you saying, ” easy for you to say?” Well, no it is Not always easy for me to say. I have days like this too and times that things happen that I think, ” I can’t handle this.” However, I have learned life only gets harder when you feed the weeds that are choking out clear thinking. When we allow ourselves to stay in the emotions of ” ENOUGH” these weeds grow rapidly and turn into anger, bitterness, gossiping, depression, anxiety, shame, guilt, and can even produce hatred. You think I am exaggerating. Watch when you are feeling this way and see for yourself what fruit it bears. Then when you see the fruit of allowing these negative seeds to grow STOP! Grab hold of it,  Breathe, then PULL it OUT!  Choose to change the emotion of the soul’s soil with Deep breaths and Prayer. Look around you, find the good seed at your fingertips like:

The blessing of having a home, food to eat, clothes to wear, cars to drive, relatively clean air to breath, flowers, trees, and the list goes on.  If you are in America reading this we are not in a literal war, fearful each day for your life, starving and no access to feed your children, no place to go for medical care, restricted from time with God and the freedom to worship, and the list goes on.  Most reading this are not homeless or even one step away from there. Maybe you are in a situation of loosing a loved one or even just experienced an unexpected disaster and if you are my prayers are with you. Yet, if you are reading this, then you are alive and able to go forward and replant your garden. And with God’s loving mercy and comfort you will.  I can testify to that as I have been thru some things in life that were unimaginable. The sheer fact you are still here means you have not completed your purpose in this Life. And your purpose isn’t just about you trust me, your Life – your purpose is designed to effect the lives of those God puts across your path and their lives to effect yours. We are meant to have relationships of all sorts of types and with all types of people. In those relationships you will Not always agree. Yet, like Yeshua (Jesus) we are called not to judge, argue, or let those relations turn to ugly. We are to agree to disagree when we don’t see eye to eye. We are called to Love All others planting the seeds Love and it’s attributes. If someone is argumentative and the conversation can’t be dealt with in a loving way, step away and give it to God. You nor I,  have the right to control or impose your views on another . We do have the right to our views but, like Yeshua (Jesus) in sharing those views it is to be done in Love based in the Truth allowing the fruit of those seeds of Love to bear the fruit of His Love.

So, when you feel ENOUGH…Stop, regroup, and tend to your inner garden that it might bear the Fruit of Love allowing you to walk in His image. To bring forth and Give beauty and Life in this world..not more stress, darkness, and so on. In pulling out these weeds & planting the seeds of Love you will find your Peace, Joy, and Ability to Bear all things that come your way in this journey called Life.  Keep in mind: This is a choice and as the name of my ministry expresses.. ” Life is all about Choices “…and those choices and the fruit they bear Are Yours.

All this said:  Enough! LOL .. Breathe… Turn off the media, no texting, shut off any negative input. Then go have a cup of relaxing tea and start listing and giving thanks for your Blessings. Then seek seeds of His Love to plant in the garden of your heart and mind..whether it be found in music, the written word, or thru giving or receiving encouraging words of/with a neighbor or family. Take a Calgon bath giving casting your cares on God, go walk it off at the park, by the beach/lake/or river all the while talking to God and letting it all go, literally dig in the garden of your home & imagine the weeds you pull as whatever is troubling you and you are tossing them out, go look up and prepare a good healthy meal that requires some chopping/slicing/ dicing so you can release some energy and chat with God while you cook; ending the moment breaking bread with our Savior and thanking Him for the food you are about to eat.

Shalom !

Coffee has been a popular beverage for YEARS! Not only as a pick me up but, because for many it is just plain tasty!  Especially with what all they can do with it now. One of the discussions is: Bad for you or good for you?? that is the question. Now the ” they say” experts can’t even agree on this one. LOL  Many individuals express concern about the possible negative side effects of drinking coffee. While current research suggests that there are indeed some negative health effects associated with the popular beverage, coffee drinkers may be surprised to learn that there are actually more health benefits associated with coffee than there are risks… see what I mean.  This site has lots of interesting info including it can decrease risk of Alzhiemers. https://www.symptomfind.com/nutrition-supplements/the-pros-and-cons-of-coffee/

Like the Word says in 1 Corinthians 6:12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything.”  This is exactly how you need to look at Coffee. Yes indeed there Are benefits to our health found in coffee. However, all of us being uniquely designed individuals you need to be in tune with Your Body and keep in mind what resonates with Your body depends on your overall health, self control (not only related to volume you are drinking but, financial self control – coffee houses aren’t cheap) , & what you are loading in that cup of coffee.

Personally, my fav coffee, which I have enjoyed One cup a day for Years and have no plans of ever giving it up, is that down south Louisiana Chicory coffee. It is a coffee substitute cultivated from the Cichorium intybus plant, has historically been used as a medicine for wounds and several health conditions, including diabetes. While not all of its purported benefits are substantiated with scientific evidence, chicory coffee does offer many short-term and long-term potential health benefits. It may protect the body from damage and lower the risk of certain chronic diseases… It contains a Sufficient intake of soluble dietary fiber, an essential nutrient, is associated with reduction of cholesterol and blood pressure, the improvement of healthy gastrointestinal function, and several other digestive and health benefits. According to a February 2010 review by “Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety,” chicory root contains a soluble fiber known as inulin. This fiber protects against the accumulation of free cholesterol and provides other metabolic benefits, such as the promotion of iron absorption. In addition to its use in coffee substitutes, inulin is extracted from chicory for use as a sugar substitute because of its low caloric value.  And this list goes on. https://www.livestrong.com/article/422673-what-are-the-benefits-of-chicory-coffee/

More good info on Chicory the root of Endive. https://www.orleanscoffee.com/how_to/what-is-chicory/    There is just nothing like a French pressed cup of Community Chicory Coffee or French Market Chicory Coffee.

Whatever you cup of tea or coffee may be just remember moderation is key: “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?”

And be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day in behind that lovely coffee!

Shalom !

Morning ya’ll !  All day yesterday I just kept hearing that still small voice within say, ” write about metabolism” What else popped in there was how we all have different metabolisms or do we?  Metabolism:  is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of organisms. The three main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel to energy to run cellular processes, the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and the elimination of nitrogenous wastes.

After more research I found in all life the striking feature of metabolism is the similarity of the basic metabolic pathways and components between even vastly different species. However, here’s where the differences come into play with mankind. There are different metabolic body types: ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph and each type has different defining characteristics. Once again I see we are Not all the same and because of that we should not all try to follow the same dietary habits or the newest fad diet that has hit social media. Not only are their the 3 body types it has been proven that you could even be a combination of body types. One place that is talked about is in Deepak Chopra’s book Perfect Health. Only he uses Ayurveda term Vat, Pitta, and Kapha. There is even has a short quiz to home in on your type. I found it very on the money as to what foods agree with what turned out to be my body type.(Vatta/Pitta) I have also learned over the years your metabolism changes with the seasons of your life. Nope we are not  puppets created One way and the garden never changes in this life. Much to the contrary. We are changing as each year as new seeds are planted within, new life is grafted in, and as we grow in wisdom and knowledge.  Like it says in Ecclesiastes 3:1 ” There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”  On that note: see The Way to Healthy Living for your Type.  Consider what the ” The Word” says about healthy eating. One book you can do that in is: ” What the Bible says About Health Living by Rex Russell, MD. ( Check it out ! I mean that literally at your local library. smile)  This website that has good info too: https://gethealthyu.com/the-3-metabolic-body-types-explained/

Why am I going on about this: 1st cause the Holy Spirit said to and 2nd I have always felt each person needs to Love themselves, seek, and research The Way God wants you to go in determining what should be put in ” Your ” body, mind, and spirit. We are all One as mankind but, totally different in our design. We resonate and process things differently in mind, body, and spirit. The landscape of our inner and outer bodies are not meant to be cookie cutter gardens copying what everybody else does. Think about it: Our bodies don’t all respond the same to the same food, smells, visual stimulations, sounds, etc. Yet, seems to me that is the goal of social media to beat us into doing as ” they ” say do. Way to many passing judgment on others, deciding what should and should not be done, said, listened to, what we should wear, look like, and so forth. Our Freedoms are disappearing. Our right to Be and become who we were designed to Be held in bondage. Now I am not saying we should have right to be cruel to others but, isn’t cruel to be dictating how people should talk, what size they should be, what they should wear, drive, how to decorate the Inside and Out of the homes they spend so much money on and so on. What happened to character, individual style, our differences being a Blessing?

My prayer today with this post is that you will seek and research what is Best for YOU and that you will share this post with your family and friends in hopes that they too will Be and become the unique beautiful individuals they were designed to Be. In this action we all benefit as our gifts & talents unfold and when we Love one another for the beautiful beings we are…as we are…not as who ” they ” say we should be. Don’t be a puppet!  Love yourself whatever body type you are and don’t do crazy things trying to look or be like someone else. BTW: If someone doesn’t love you for who you are as you are they don’t really love you anyway. You don’t need them nor their approval. Move on and trust God will bring those equally yoked into your life. Seek God and all He has for You, tune into His Love and allow that Love to grow within you and allow yourself to BE You both inside and Out !  In this choice Love, Peace, and Joy will shine on you and those you interact with.

As I sign off I leave you with these words:

I know many of my friends are saying, ” we tried to tell you.”  And that they did. But, my fear of owning as a single woman and be responsible for repairs held me back. Darn Fear…it is sure ‘nough not on your side. The money I have spent having to move due to rent increases throughout my life would have paid for the repairs ” IF/When” I would have had them. And if I had listened, I would have had a home in San Diego with a nice low fixed payment. Cause I moved there in 1974 when houses were affordable. But, I was afraid. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. God stuck by me and provided all along the way. Sometimes that darn fear made me “feel ” like I wasn’t going to be able to survive but, every time He made a way. Not only for me but, for my daughters.

Since the girls grew up I have been saving to supplement the rent increases and so I would have enough to fill in the gaps when/if I do need to retire and live on my social security, or so I thought. Instead, greed keeps driving up the cost of housing and everything else to the degree I knew my savings wouldn’t be enough. At 60 yrs old I got down on my knees and stopped trying to drive and ask God to show me where to fine a home I could buy and still have a bit of saving please. You know the word says,”Ask and you shall receive”. So I made a list of the kind of community I wanted to live in (if cool with Him) I asked that it be a diverse community of all nationalities, at least 50,000 people (as I am a city woman who loves nature), under $80,000 and could it please be near water.  I know, I know…all that and under $80,000. I did say I didn’t care what state it was in, I wouldn’t be that spoiled. LOL  After my prayer, I still only half gave up the wheel going around looking mostly west of Texas. Then after a retreat to Joyce Meyer seminar I felt the Spirit say, ” end your trip in New York.” I had never been there. I listened and off I went. Low and behold, there is where He took me for my house! with everything on my List!  And no fears that God has guided me to a place where I can afford a home, have a nice low payment, all my needs met and the wants!

Yep, Fear puts you in bondage – Faith brings your thru and provides all your needs..Kick fear to the curb and start looking for your house. It doesn’t come out cheaper or safer to rent.. Trust me! Especially, in todays world. If you aren’t able at the moment.. pray, save, and know God will provide! Don’t wait till your 60’s. LOL

Have a blessed day!  Shalom.

Hi ya’ll.  Do you ever feel like you are fenced in and being stifled? Your creative side not taken seriously if you share ideas or new things you are trying? All to often mankind gets so caught in fads, expecting everyone to do as they do, parents “telling” their kids what they “should” do and who they “should” be. It’s sad. And we all get caught up in that at different seasons in our lives. We were designed in the image of God to be creators. While we are all One in the spirit of Love and God within us, we are also unique individuals with purpose and seeds within that are meant to bring forth different ideas, to create and share that we all can benefits from those seeds. Praise God for those who hear the calling within and bust out the fence or we wouldn’t have cures for illness, new styles of music, homes, cars, clothes, and the list goes on.. Only there should not be  exceptions in mankind that create. We all each and everyone of us have something of value to reveal and share. And each of us should value and respect one another and the gifts and talents each one of us has to offer. We “should be” encouraging our children and one another at any age to try new things. This is how new hybrid creations come to pass on Earth. Unfortunately, too many are fenced in and controlled by others. Did you know that Fear drives the controlling people in this world. And fear is Not of God. The word says, “worry about nothing, pray about everything having faith”. When you pray instead of worrying God will guide you to your purpose and newness of Life filled with Love and all it has to offer.  As 2 Timothy 1:7 says: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline”

I know, that verse sounds like fear is timid and in some cases it is…but, that same fear in many creates the need to control and dominate. It has been proven, there is a correlation between fear and the amount of power people seek. A certain amount of controlling behavior is a healthy natural survival instinct, but after a point it becomes harmful.  One of the reasons God says, all things in moderation. When that happens normal survival is no longer the motivator. Underlying the quest for power is fear, and the desire for power is to eliminate fear. The more fearful a person is the more control over their environment they believe they need to feel safe.  This is a lie that the father of all lies wants you to fall into.  This is how your power is misused and abused and you look up and are fenced in. Not to mention, then you to try to fence in those you love. So, keep this in mind, “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything. And trust me, Worry and Fear only creates negativity in your life and the life of those you Love.

Relax, Trust in God and have faith allowing Love to flow. Then watch the LIFE that blooms from within. It is amazing to see who people can Be when they feel free to express there gifts and talents. Many of the “in crowd” deem our best creators as geeks and then that very same ” in crowd” are the first ones to run out and buy their designs.. think about that one for a bit.  Ever notice how those very ones you least expected to “be somebody” turn into amazing people in spite of how rude people treated them. Watch yourself, are you one that encourages others to be themselves? Or a controller that believes somehow you are better than others and trying to fence them in?  Romans 3:  9 What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin. 10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;

If you are one that has been holding back with your creativity, shoving yourself down to “fit in” or have been fenced in by those close to you.. Break Free and Be Who you are! Get out there and try out those new ideas, new adventures, you are never to old to Let your Light Shine. I know I for one am coming out of my shell … I know, I know those who know me are saying, ” what? you been out. ”  Well surprise, No No I haven’t actually, there is so much more within me and it is on the Rise… Watch me!

Hugs!  Shalom.
