I am... Recap of sunday service

"I AM"

Yesterday in church the word of God went fourth with so much power. My stepfather who is also my pastor, rendered an amazing word entitled "I Am" this word was an on time word and I had to blog about it.

The message "I Am" is a phenomenal message that I believe everyone should be privileged to know about. We all go through life experiencing challenges and calamities, all we see is the situation at hand often times we don't cease the opportunity to exercise our faith. We have all been guilty of it... "bills are due, don't have the money to pay them" "the doctor Dignosed me with this, I don't feel like I can make it" " my son is a drug addict, my daughter is a alcoholic" "well I want to start a business but I don't have the financial backing to do so" I know about this all to well I am definitely guilty of running with my faith tank on "E". Let me expose me, the earlier part of last year I found out that I was pregnant. In the midst of my pregnancy I was told that I had a condition called endometriosis and it was a great possibility that I wouldn't be able to carry my baby to term. I must admit my heart was shattered and I took the doctors word and begin to prepare myself for the worst. Often times I wonder what would have happened if I pursued God, what would have happened if I upped my faith and went before God with all I had in me, but the past is gone and I can't undo what has taken place but I can take total control over my faith in the future. The bible teaches us that Faith is the substance of all things hope for and the evidence of things unseen. So you have to see it before you see it, believe it and act as if you are already living in the manifestation of Gods promises. If you have dreams and aspirations begin to speak of yourself as so. Sickness has afflicted your body? Claim your healing. The I Am method is designed to put you in a posture of receiving what God has for you. I am healed, I am Free, I am successful, I am at peace, I am a successful author, I Am a successful entrenuer, I am a mother, I am a wife, I am everything that has called me to be. Every now and again we have to remind the enemy of what we are not, yes the doctor diagnosed me with this and they say I have a touch of that but I Am Not or afflicted. I don't have any tangible money I the bank but I Am not broke. My business hasnt taken off yet but I am not a failure. My daddy was an alcoholic but I Am Not carrying that generational curse with me because I Am the head and not the tail, I am above and not beneath... I am calling those things that are not as if they were and I am walking in my destiny.

I want to encourage you every morning and say you I Am's then go on with your day living them

Good day loves

Spiritual, Mental, Physical and Social Makeover

30 day spiritual, physical, mental and Social makeover

So yesterday after got home, I went to the health food store to get some Green tea and to find something to boost my energy. I asked the guy that was working there could he recommend something. He looked at me and said "you look extremely tired" I'm thinking to myself wow... Does it show that much? He said " I'm not trying to cause any offense you just look like your mind is everywhere and you haven't had much sleep" I said to myself yeah it's showing and that's not good. He asked me what I do for a living and I told him a lot... Then I went into detail of what typical day is like in my life. He recommended these all natural vitamins and agreed that the green tea would be good with the vitamins. He then pulled out a piece of paper and said I should challenge myself to a makeover... Hmmm my original thoughts was yeah I can go for a new hairstyle, maybe some MAC and I'm long overdue for a new pair of shoes...lol. I took the paper and sat in my car and begin to read and this makeover was nothing like I had in mind. This was a 30 day Spiritual, Physical, Mental and Social Makeover, something that exceeds the vanity of a makeover...
