Dear Self 10/8/14 “It’s Time to Get Dirty to Come Out Clean”

Today’s Memo 10/8/14

 dear selfIn order to grow sometimes you have to get dirty, digging deep to the root of certain negative behaviors and mindsets that are producing bad fruit. The devil wants to keep you stuck in your bad habits, masking the real issues and he will do all he can to make you live a repetitive life full of the same mistakes. God on the other hand, wants you to rise above it. He will take you on a journey with temporary pain to face your truth head on so you can break the negative habits and mindsets from the root. You will come out stronger, wiser, and lighter with no negative baggage rotting inside. Trust God and trust the process. It’s time to get dirty so you can come out clean!

What’s the underlying issue that’s causing you to think the way you do and act the way you act. From being rebellious to life in general, saying that you will never trust anyone again, declaring all men are dogs, and all women are gold diggers, to believing you are worthless, you don’t deserve to live above mediocrity, to behaving in a way that hurts everyone around you and using your past abuse as an excuse to abuse others. It’s time to break the lies, cycles, and habits you have trained yourself to live in. God can restore and heal you, but you have to be willing to allow Him to open that dirty closet filled with all the pain, secrets, hurts, and lies that you stored away thinking they would go away but really have been rotting and killing you inside. Don’t let satan keep you hostage, resist him, and trust God as He works.

“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 5:8-11)

Dear Self 7/27/14 “When Being Alone Becomes Tough”

Today’s Memo 7/27/14

dear self

I know you’re feeling lonely, but understand that it’s just that; a feeling. Trust that this feeling will not last long and is only temporary. I know it’s hard because you’re so use to having someone there. Right now, it’s just you. Whatever you do, do not go back a page or two, to revisit old acquaintances and habits, to keep your mind off this this dry phase in your life. God is testing you and building you to be stronger and obedient to His timing. Being alone is only scary for you because you’ve been dependent upon others for happiness and completion. In order to grow, you must be open to change and being uncomfortable as God uses this time for your good. You will look back and appreciate this time. This is YOUR time. You should love your own company; it’s the perfect time to become more intimate with God and to focus on being a better person, a better Christian, and a better YOU. Appreciate YOU!
Please keep in mind that you are not alone in this season. It’s tough but it’s necessary. Don’t focus on the negatives when there are too many positives to think of right now. You deserve the world… So give it to yourself. Spoil yourself. Do all the things you’ve always wanted to do, right now. Lonely is an emotional state the enemy will trap you in, to make you think you need a people and things, when all you really need is God. Get out of that state of mind and be happy. It’s better to be alone than with people who are leading you into sin… Learn to be okay alone. You’ll attract the right ones with a happy and confident spirit. Feeling lonely will bring a needy and thirsty spirit which will attract the wrong ones, and repel the ones you want, which cycles back to you feeling incomplete because you are putting your happiness into others.

 

Always remember to Love, Yourself

Dear Self 7/21/14 “Stay True To You”

Today’s Memo 7/21/14

 dear selfI know you feel like you are always given the short end of the stick. It’s like everyone looks out for themselves and leaves you with nothing to work with; but still you try and give effort. I know you feel like nothing good lasts for you. Whenever you feel happy with something or someone, you know it’s just “any day now” before it slips away. You have to stop beating yourself up, thinking you’re way too nice and you need to start acting heartless and selfish because that’s how everyone is acting. God sees your heart. He sees the humbleness in your heart. He sees your caring spirit and the love you are ready and open to give. Just keep doing what you do best. Stay true to who you know you are. Eventually the right ones will appreciate it. Don’t lower your moral because just when you do, you might lose out on a blessing that needed exactly what you naturally provide. Don’t change who you are. It’s not in you and you know that.

Don’t lower your morals or standards of your heart. You have to give an account for everything you’ve done to God. Your good heart will not go unnoticed.

“A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart.” Matthew 12:35

Dear Self 7/19/14 “Sometimes it’s not them, it’s you!”

Today’s Memo 7/19/14

dear self

Stop taking everything so personal. Not everyone intends to hurt you. People have lives you know and everything does not revolve around you. Do not let how others make you “feel” determine how you act. Get your emotions in check before they wreck you. When you feel like the world is against you, take a breather and talk to God. Don’t quickly get in your feelings because you may do or say something that you really didn’t want to. Let God check you, and bring you back to peace. People will let you down, but if you keep seeking God, He will help you with keeping your emotions intact. Listen… Sometimes it’s not them it’s you!

Always remember to Love, Yourself

Dear Self 7/18/14 “Take Life Serious”

Today’s Memo: 7/18/14

dear self

You can’t half step things. You have to be in it all the way or you will be just wasting your time. You say you’re ready for a change, but when an opportunity presents itself you let fear and your comfort zone take over. It’s okay to take risks, if you are ready and willing to put in extra work when it does not go as easy as it appeared in your mind. You either want it or you don’t. There is no in between. Time waits for no one, and playing with your life and your dreams, will get you nowhere but in a corner full of regrets. It’s time to get serious!
This is YOUR life. Do what you love, love who you love, be who you want to be, as long as it fits to the standards of God. Follow the dreams and visions that He placed in your heart. Wake up tomorrow with a fresh mindset that you will accomplish it all in Jesus’ name.

Always remember to Love, Yourself

Dear Self 7/17/14 “Keeping it Moving”

Today’s Memo: 7/17/14

dear self

It doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down, because in this thing called life you are bound to stumble, fall, makes mistakes you’re not proud of. It’s about how you persevere, how you get back up, how you gather your pieces together and keep it moving. It’s all about having a great and inspiring story to share, when you’re given the opportunity to share your testimony.

Always remember to Love, Yourself
