Stay In Your Place

In all matters of life, there is a time for everything. A time when to follow and a time when to lead. If your time has come and gone already, then allow the person that is now leading to have their time. What I don't get about people is that they will tear down anyone just to have their time in the spotlight instead of edifying and helping others. I understand if you want to assist, but taking over is the wrong spirit. This is just like what lucifier was trying to do with God. If you are causing confusion and thinking that you mean well, then you are WRONG!!! God is not the author of confusion, but He is the GOD OF DECENCY AND ORDER. How dare you come and try to take over. Stay in your place! We should be building up one another, not tearing each other down. How dare you ridicule another person, and you can't do no better. You had your time. I'm sure you mean well but really look and analyze what you are doing when your actions are dictating another person's actions. On Sunday in Sunday school,  I learned about encouragement and how important it is. I've also been reading about friendship so I definitely know who is for me and who is against me. The nerve of people. All they do is critic and can't even come with a positive bone in their body. That's a shame. People need to learn how to stay in their lane. God doesn't like that discord and that confusion because He's not a part of that kind of activity. I am just so tired of those who are trying to lead before their time or those who won't allow others to lead because it's all about them leading. Aren't we all apart of the same goal and should have the same mindset? It's really sad. I had to write since this happening around me now and I have seen it for myself but at least in that case it was shut down. This needs to be done again too and it shall. Encourage each other and don't tear one another down by any means necessary.

Relationships: Who You Attract, Is Who You Are( Believe it or not)

Just because you see that it's entitled relationships doesn't mean I am talking about intimate relationships between man and woman only. But ALL relationships. I came to grips with myself today in thought. I thought especially about who I have attracted lately and how they really were when things got ugly.  I am like oh my goodness, this is who I am. It wasn't anything that was positive either. But, it was a negative qualitiy that I have that holds me back to succeed, for what God has for me and who He has for me. Also, for my being sensitive and vulnerable to Him. My relationships with man or just friends as far as the negative shows that I am unstable, lazy and am trying to make it by having a silver spoon handed to me.  I was like wow this is not good at all. Also, I realized from these same relationships that I am deceiving and that I am dishonest with myself as well as others and I am unsure of where I am heading.This  is exactly me to the t and it is sad. I also realized that I am not around people who have "made it" yet. Everyone is working trying to make the money to survive. They say to surround yourself with successful people. The reason why they say that because it will rub off on you and then you can become successful too. This is why it is so important who you are connected to. It is not just a natural thing, but it is a spiritual thing, for everything in this life is spiritual. You have to watch who you allow in your life. One of the things that has really stuck with me is to know your circle. Ask God for that guidance on who is this person and what are they are about. I am not trying to have any old guy in my life unless it is directed by God. I have done this relationship thing by myself and look where it has gotten me. Broken heart, insecurity galore,etc. I don't want to be a person that is so like unstable and unsuccessful and still stuck in the same place. A lot of people ask me, what's new with you? I'm like you know nothing really. It is because what am I doing to make progress toward what I am trying to accomplish. This is the problem with a lot of us. Procrastination and laziness cannot have me. I have to and must overcome these things that I have been dealing with. I refuse to depend on anyone especially a MAN  to help me. It is fine and well to ask for help sometimes, but not all the time where you become a leech to those around you. That's taking away from them all that they have worked so hard for. Where is your reward for the work that you put in? If there's no reward, go back and reevaluate what did you do wrong. Then, do it again but with another strategy.  I encourage you who are the people that you are around and really think about everything in your life. Is this where I want to be in the next  year? I have already been considering these questions and the more I think, the more I feel a certain kind of way. It is really important  to be around the right especially in times when you're really going through and struggling. Watch who you are around if you have to reject and cut off, do so it is vital to your life.

Content, not Complacent

Content is the satisfaction of one's point in life, while complacent is being pleased. These two are different although they have similar meanings. They are different when it comes to a situation in our life. Complacency can even take the same value as laziness. The Word of God says to be content in whatever state that you are in. This is in Philippians chapter 4.  I may be satisfied or content where I am now because I know there are greater levels for me to go in God, but that doesn't mean I am pleased or complacent with the situations that I am facing. If I become complacent how can I go higher to the next level. Being complacent can mean that I can allow everything to pass me by and never trying to accomplish goals in order to get to the next level. Sometimes you have to make a move in order for God to bring things to completion. I know that in my situation that it won't always be like this. I am content with it but I am not complacent with it because there is more for me. I just know that I know there is more for me. If there is something that I am unable to do and it is something that I need to learn, I need to go right ahead and take those steps to get well at it by learning the skill. Knowing how to do that skill will lead into greater things and measures that may very well take me far. It is imperative in our lives whether a follower of Christ or a follower of something else, that we are to be content because complaining doesn't get us anywhere. Trust me I should know and know it well, it makes you feel even worst about the situation. If you think positively and on other things, then you would be better off and not worry about your situation. What I try to do is just see myself better than what I am now and it definitely helps me. God is taking me through this season and there will be other seasons to go through. When you are following after Him don't think that you won't go through some things. You will go through because if Jesus went through during His days on earth who are you? Don't be complacent with your situation, but be content in your situation. Look to God who is your strength and if you don't know Him, get to know Him by speaking with others about Him who have a relationship with Him. It's crazy how I am content in my situation now and to do an honest self check on myself I think that I am too complacent or things in my would change or I would do something to change them. I am speaking of the things that I can change and not the things that I can't change. So remember, to just be content, but all the way make those steps to become better. Also be careful, how you do that way to get that way to success.
