Being a Mother Tip #7 - Being present and mindful

     Challenges make it difficult to be present and mindful with your child.  Fear causes us to regret the past and obsess about the future.  Ever done that?  All of us do.  As human beings we live our lives largely in memory and imagination. We are either remembering the past or imagining the future.  Physically our bodies are present, but our minds are elsewhere.  Take a few deep breathes and focus.  Try to be fully present in the moment.  Try to be fully mindful.  This can be very…

God's there to Help

It Seems in this Life we’re all doing

The very best that we can

And then we come to a point in our life

Where there’s more to do than we can.

And humbled we are led to the Alter,

And sometimes we pray to the Lord,

And ask if there is some way to make it better

And then we open up the door,

And a higher power comes to us

To ease the burdons of a heavy load.

And we open up our hearts and mind

To be able to let God…

ABUNDANCE IS REALIZED

I am one with the source, God infinite good. This recognition establishes me in the awareness of an all loving and all giving God. It is indeed the Father's good pleasure to give me the kingdom and it is my good pleasure to accept it! I could never want for anything because it has already been supplied.

 

I have been given a lavishly abundant life. I have an abundance of faith in an all-providing source that continues to supply me with an endless flow of good. I am never needy…

SHARE WITH THE WORLD

Before Reading this Blog, I want to make it clear this is NOT an attempt to take you from this website, far from it. we have come up with an idea to share testimonies etc across the internet and asking you to take part in it.



To do this you need to be a member as a follower of Jesus, there is no other way round it unless you are just clicking and sharing…

hmmmmm

The Wright brothers made the law of gravity inoperative by the operation of a higher law called aerodynamics. If that higher law stops working, the plane will tumble to the ground because the first law isn't dead.

When you combine the combustion of the Holy Spirit with the speed of obedience and the airflow of holiness, you're lifted to a new level of spiritual life because the power of the spirit working in you transcends the law of sin and death.

Have you ever seen a sidewalk…

more thinkin

Paul wrote, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting" (Gal.6:7-8). With Paul's words in mind, consider the following observations about the sowing of sin.

The sowing of sin rises out of deception. Souls are fooled into believing that the pleasures of sin will last forever when, in fact, they are…

Being a Mother Tip #6 - Increase quality time with your child

     I recommend that you start to make special opportunities to be with your child by learning the 10-20-10 strategy on a regular basis.  Here’s a formula to follow.  You spend 10 minutes in the morning, 20 minutes in the afternoon, and 10 minutes in the evening with your child.  These are special opportunities to be with your child.  These opportunities are to just listen without judging, blaming, or shaming.  Validate whatever your child is saying and feeling.  Validation does not mean…

still thoughts

Before many of us became Christians, we had this nagging sense that life wasn't about money, power, or sex. But what else was there?

Somewhere along the line, we discovered that our purpose in life was to serve God. Each of us was confronted by God's love demonstrated in the death of Jesus, the Lamb of God, on a roman cross. As we looked at his bloodied body, there was no longer any doubt in our minds. Jesus didn't just die; he gave his life for me. Finally we understood David, who…

WHAT IS YOUR PRIORITY?

Dearly Beloved,

WHAT IS YOUR PRIORITY?

"I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:20-21 NIV).

April 1, 2012 was a unique day. It was the first day of the month of April. It was the first day of the second quarter of the year. It was the day set apart…

more thoughts again

The Bible never tells us that Samson looked like Hulk Hogan, he may have looked more like Woody Allen, His strength was a secret until the spirit of lord powerfully took control of him. Samson’s superhuman strength came from God. Four times the spirit took control of Samson. With his bare hands, Samson ripped apart a lion's jaws. He killed 1,000 men with a donkey jawbone, and he set 300 foxes on a fiery rampage through Philistine fields to destroy their crops.

Samson, a man of…

more thoughts

Some of us men need a ton of brick dumped on our heads before we realize what we are doing is not pleasing to god. Dropping bricks isn't Gods preferred method of doing things, however, He usually starts with a gentle reminder, then moves on to more drastic measures of getting attention.

When the philistines captured the Ark of God. God gave those people a subtle warning to return the ark; he made the idol dragon fall in front of the ark. When the Philistines didn't take the hint, God…

Being a Mother Tip #5 - Reverse negative neurological feedback loops

     You can reverse negative feedback loops by interrupting your child’s stress cycle.  This will help you connect with your child. Begin by exploring what is contributing to the negative neurological feedback loops within the family.  You need to identify your negative reactions to your child’s behavior.  Begin to understand what in your past triggers this negative reaction.  Understanding this is critical in developing secure attachments with children.  You need to have an understanding…

Call on my Name

When this life asks for everything you’ve got

Then give everything you’ve got and let it be.

And go the place where you can release

All of your burdons to me.

 

Come to me when you’re weary.

Come to me when you’re in need,

Call upon my name

And lay down your cross

And with a breath and a smile be free.

 

For you are not alone on this path,

And you can find great peace within,

And when you go to the…

just my thoughts

Putting an egg in the microwave isn't recommended, Those of us who have tried it have ended up cleaning up nearly microscopic pieces of scrambled egg from the microwave interior surfaces.

Why does this happen? Simple, steam builds up inside the shell as the egg is heated, and since there's nowhere for the steam to go the egg explodes. If the steam had an outlet, there would be no explosion. Our emotions work like steam in the eggshell. Anything from laughter to sadness to anger eases…

I COOPERATE WITH SPIRIT

I am one with the Spirit of God. This presence and power radiates within me, through me and over flows to the outer and takes over. Spirit is forever expanding by the renewing of the mind. I am the demonstration of this cooperative spiritual expansion.  

 

Every fiber of my being is cooperating with the still small voice of Spirit that is perfectly guiding and directing my every thought, action and deed. This power fills me with right ideas that are motivated by love and…

Being a Mother Tip #4 - Be slow to anger and quick to listen and to forgive

     James 1:19-21tells us to be “quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,” and ready to forgive (my paraphrase of verse 21).  I recently found a new perspective for forgiveness.  The Daily Word (paraphrased), April 18, 2012 thought for the day:  “I give the gift of forgiveness for the blessing of peace of mind.”  Forgive is the combination of the words give and for.  Ask yourself what you would be willing to give for peace of mind.  Would you be willing to give up pain and…

HOW OPEN-MINDED ARE YOU?

Dearly Beloved,

HOW OPEN-MINDED ARE YOU?

"Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another" (Romans 1:22-24 NIV).

I get in contact with different kinds of people on the Internet almost every…

Being a Mother Tip #3 - The three phase intervention

     Use the three phase intervention to help connect with your child.  The three phase intervention consists of reflect, relate, and regulate.  Reflect:   How am I feeling right now?  It is not OK for a parent to say to a child ‘Tell me how you feel” unless the parent has examined his or her own feelings.  When you connect to yourself, you can communicate in a secure way.  Relate: While you’re breathing say “I feel ________ right now, and I need to know how you feel”.  Your child may not…

I ONLY SHARE GOOD NEWS

I am an instrument of God. I dwell in high places where there is only divine perfection.

The words I speak inspire, uplift and vibrate with joy. All negative outward appearances are dissolved by the light of Truth and have no power. I bring tidings of goodness and joy wherever I go.

 

There is nothing that could impede my ability to progress or succeed. I am one of a kind, made in the image and likeness of the Almighty. I turn within for guidance and receive it…
