My Sister, My Friend!

I have deep admiration for my sister, who is a Real Estate Professional in the Dallas, Texas area. After 20 years of working at an unfulfilling job; She followed her passion of helping others purchase their dream homes! Often times, we see the success but we do not see the toils, trials and sufferings that got the person to the success!

My sister is extremely smart, resourceful and very intelligent. She has always been set apart. Before she became a real estate professional, she would drag me to look at houses. She was enthralled by looking at the homes, the way they were made, the nooks and crannies. She educated herself on the home builders and designers. She became a professional at recognizing the works of builders and designers. She carried books with her, studied layouts of homes and the like. 

I did not know this was her gifting then but in hindsight, she was walking in it before the opportunity arrived in her life. Years before it became official on earth, she was already a Real Estate Professional in the Spirit. WOW!

In the last few years, I've noticed that when I speak to my sister, I have homework by the time I get off of the phone with her. Do you have anyone like that in your life? She continues to challenge me to be the best at whatever I set my hand to do. I always feel energized, empowered and alive; like, I CAN DO THIS!  YES! If you do not have anyone like this in your life; begin to seek out this person. You must have positive people in your life that encourage you on to greatness!  Your life will never be the same!

Work your gifts

Do you know what your gifts are? What are you good at doing? What can you do with little effort that another may take months to develop? If you know the answer to these questions, please tell me, why are you not working in your gifts? Are you doing something that you know you should not do? If you know that someone else should be doing what you've been charged to do; why hold that back from that person?

There are so many people in public and private sectors that are not in their lane, they should not be in certain positions and if honest, they will admit it. They don't have the skills(innate or learned) to do the job they are paid to do. This causes more work for other people, wastes time and eventually money. I am not encouraging quitting from a job but people spend more time doing what they hate than what they love or what they are really qualified to do and I want to encourage you, whomever you are to really evaluate you situation and if this speaks to you; it is your time to put a plan in place to make some changes that will position you in your proper place whereby you can make a more dynamic impact on the lives of others. Be encouraged but most of all, Be true to yourself!

The Most Wonderful Love of All

You can’t love another human being unless you love and accept yourself. You cannot give what you don’t have. Your self-worth is very important. I am not referring to glorious vanity or your thinking more highly of yourself that you ought. I am referring to the mentality of accepting yourself wholly and without prejudice. It is a treasure and a delight when I meet someone who knows their own worth. When you are aware of who you are, you refuse to accept anything less than what you are worth.

When you value yourself, others will follow suit. Many people remain in relationships that are unhealthy because they believe that their own worth is tied to another person. Believe me when I say that your worth is not engulfed within another person. If you are in this type of relationship, Get Out Now! And determine that you are worth it. You deserve to be in a healthy, loving relationship. Other people can help, teach, encourage and empower us but no one can place a measure of value upon you except you-alone. So, may I encourage you not to wait to get praise from man. Love and enjoy yourself and delight in the Lord. You must know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are worthy! Say it with me: “I am Worthy of Love”

The greatest love of all is the love of the Lord God for God is Love. When we were created, His love was shed abroad on our heart. Though the world can be an unloving place, we all, in spite of what we show forth to others, we all have the capacity to love. Love is universal. Any person can recognize love with their heart. 

CHANGE - PART TWO

Change is good even when it seems bad. There is always a silver lining when change takes place in our lives. Oftentimes, we do not prepare ourselves for change. We allow our outer circumstances to determine our inner work. When things change around us that is beyond our control, we must look within ourselves and deal with the matter. Sometimes, I believe that change happens to show us ourselves.  It reveals our true nature, whether we can take it or not. It reveals our weaknesses and our inconsistencies. But when you embrace change, you realize that it really needed to happen and you are glad that it happened! Whatever may be changing in your life, view it from the perspective that it is a part if living and look for what can be learned from the experience.

CHANGE - PART ONE

The moment that you decide to change is when a great transformation can take place in your life!  By making a conscious decision to be your best self, your life will begin to be transformed in the direction of that decision. You will begin to line up with your decision. Internal determinations to change will only be effective if you are persistent and consistent in keeping your life on the transformation path to wholeness. As you grow and mature, your life should change. Your thoughts and actions should change. When you are a child, your thoughts, words and actions are child-like. When you are an adult, your thoughts, words and actions are adult-like. You look at life from the adult perspective. You understand so much more than you did when you were a child because you changed. Through the normal seasons of life, you are changing and hopefully learning new ways of living and discovering more of your purpose day by day. For example, When a seed is planted, a harvest is expected and after a while, a plant sprouts from where the seed was planted. The seed was transformed over a period of time. If the seed had not been planted, a plant could not grow. So it is with us, if our father’s seed did not meet with our mother’s egg, we could not even exist today, nor would we have had the opportunity to grow and experience the seasons of life. Change is all around us. On a daily basis, we see change and respond to it without even thinking about it. We change lanes while driving, go to different stores, changing parking spaces, trying something new at a restaurant, changing our nail polish, our clothes, our socks and shoes. It is only when change affects our emotions that we begin to fight it every step of the way. But change is not something to hate, It is a sign of normal living. God created us to be beings of ongoing change.
