Our Deepest Fear

 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
~ 2 Timothy 1:7


Our deepest fear is that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking.
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were all meant to shine, as children do.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our
presence automatically liberates others.
~ Marianne Williamson

Food for Thought:  So you see sistahs there is no reason or room for jealousy, envy, hating, competition, division, schism, non-support, clicks and tricks.  We are all God's children and He wants the very best for each of us.  He wants us to let our lights shine and in doing so others will let their lights shine also.  Let fear be gone and a thing of the past because it is only from fear and insecurity when we do not allow others to shine and not support and applaud one another.   So Let Your Light Shine!

Climb Til Your Dream Comes True

Often your tasks will be many,
And more than you think you can do.
Often the road will be rugged
And the hills insurmountable, too.
But always remember,
The hills ahead
Are never as steep as they seem,
And with Faith in your heart
Start upward
And climb 'til you reach your dream.
For nothing in life that is worthy
Is ever too hard to achieve
If you have the courage to try it,
And you have the faith to believe.
For faith is a force that is greater
Than knowledge or power or skill,
And many defeats turn to triumph
If you trust in God's wisdom and will.
For faith is a mover of mountains.
There's nothing that God cannot do,
So, start out today with faith in your heart,
And climb 'til your dream comes true!
 ~ Helen Steiner Rice

Live One Day At A Time

Avoid negative sources, people, places and habits
Believe in yourself
Consider things from every angle
Don't give up and don't give in
Everything you're looking for lies behind the mask you wear
Family and friends are hidden treasures, seek them and enjoy their riches
Give more than you planned to
Hang on to your dreams
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it
Keep trying no matter how hard it seems
Love yourself
Make it happen
Never Lie, steal or cheat
Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values
Practice makes perfect
Quality not quantity in anything you do.
Remember that silence sometimes is the best answer
Stop procrastinating
Take control of your own destiny
Understand yourself in order to better understand others
Visualize it
When you lose, don't lose the lesson
Xcellence in all your efforts
You are unique, nothing can replace you
Zero in on your target and go for it.

Moving Forward

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. ~ Jeremiah 29:11

Greetings Beloved,

As we embark upon yet another New Year, I cannot help but reflect on this past year and all that God has brought me through and how grateful I am to Him for all His love, goodness and mercy toward me.  I know that you are grateful too!

The year 2012 has great significance as many have already stated that it will be a time of establishment, order, release and renewal.  I'd like to encourage those of you who have been in waiting to step out in this coming New Year and fulfill the very thing that God has called you to do.  Don't over-think yourself, or analyze it any further.  You know what He has said to you and you know what you have to do. 

Step out in faith believing that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it.  God has placed it in your heart and you have been holding it there for quite some time now.  Well, now it is time for you to walk it out.  He is not going to give you every detail because God wants to know that you trust Him and He is waiting for you to step out in faith.  He will be right there to guide you along the way once you take that first step.  He has good things in store for you.  So stop procrastinating because someone needs to read your first book, someone needs your teaching, someone needs to hear your preaching, some one needs your instruction, some one needs to purchase your product, someone needs your hug, someone needs your dance lesson, someone needs your visit, someone needs you to share your gift.  Don't keep it to yourself any longer.  You get what I'm saying? right?  Someone is waiting for you to fulfill your God-ordained purpose and help release them in theirs! This is the year to fulfill it.

With God on your side you will fulfill what He has already purposed just for you from the beginning of time.  No one else can fulfill it but you.  So arise! Shine! for your light has come and it is time to Move Forward. Won't you?  I am.  As you Move Forward don't forget to reach back and help someone else to Move Forward too.

May the Blessings of the Lord overtake you in this New Year!

Minister Denise
