I am truly thankful for the adversity that I have had to face over the years. It has taught me focus, discipline, tolerance, perseverance and some other virtues I may have never known.
I find myself often listening to friends and loved ones about the things that they are dealing with in life and I often feel so bad for them because they are to often focused on the battle with no goal or plan insight. I am just as guilty as they are. :) It amazes my how the devil causes confusion.
It is really easy to lose focus of ones goal if we do not have a plan. Life is not easy. There will always be stumbling blocks, mountain and hills to climb, but one must keep clear view of their goals and divine purpose.
The best way to make sure that we make it through our battles is to focus on the out come, not the current situation. Think about President Obama, entering the race for president, He had everything going against him… but he had a plan!!!! He got a grass roots campaign together and worked his plan. He had a clear vision as to what he wanted to accomplish. Despite the racial slurs, death threats and elitist comment He focused on his goals!
Focus crystallizes and directs the powerful energy of your mind. Focus galvanizes the mental emotional and physical energy to such an exact degree that our efforts cannot miss the mark. When we focus on our goal instead of the battle we ensure our victory! We should never spend of our time worrying about “the enemy”. (Because they will always be up to something) If we focus our thoughts, take positive steps, we may stumble, but we will not fall. Focus is what made president Obama Victorious, Focus is what gives the elk grace, focus is what gives the gazelle speed! Focus is what will give you what ever you desire!
Remain focused and prayful in the midest of your battle and keep your eye on the prize!!!
Peace and blessings

Too much is given much is required! Luke 12:48
Have you ever wonder why people hold you to a higher standard? Do you ever feel like some people can get away with murder and you can’t get away with telling a little white lie? The simple answer to this is you are a child of God and he has called to a higher standard. You are Magnificent and He wants what is best for you! There are just certain things that we can’t do. You see we see ourselves like everyone else, but we must remember that we are not like everyone else. We are Kings and Queens dwelling on this earth.
For example think if President Obama was on facebook posting how drunk he was at the platinum last night. We would be ashamed to say we voted for him as our president because we hold him to a higher standard. That is the same standard that we as children of God should hold ourselves and friends to. Unfortunately we don’t see ourselves as being on the same level as President Obama. We see ourselves as everyone else!
I know that I have been wrong so many times, but I continue to love and forgive.
I ask myself often why do I forgive people, but I guess it is the God in me.
I realize that I am a Christian and God has shown me grace and mercy and therefore I have to do the same. God doesn’t keep record of my wrongs so who am I to keep record of anyone else’s. God has blessed me and you. He gives us chance after chance so what right do we have to not give a second chance!
Peace and blessings!
