KEEP YOUR PEACE!



Anger is not a virtue, it is a vice and should not be kept within. It is a felling that happens in an instant and it should be released from your being in that same instant. In reality, this is not the case. We hold on to the negative energies that make us worse each day. We worry, complain, get upset, hate, and the list continues.

Each time we welcome these energies, we increase our risk of being sick and stressed out. I used to get upset for the simplest thing but it never hurt the person who I was upset with, it only hurt me and THAT MADE ME EVEN MORE ANGRY!!! There is no person in this world who has not been angry or who will never feel upset at some point of their lives but the difference with some persons is that they make different choices. The choices that we make in each moment of our lives will not only affect our present but affect our future.

When you are angry, in that moment, what do you do? Do you...
1. shout and argue so that everyone in the room hears your pain?
2. wish bad things on the person who made you upset?
3. stop talking to the person for days, weeks, months?
4. do something spiteful to get back at that person?

Whatever it is, how do you feel afterwards? Does it give you relief when the person avoids you for good or does it make you feel worse? The truth is, sometimes the person was not intentionally trying to make you mad. Maybe it was an opinion you asked for and the person gave you his/her honest opinion ("which you asked for"). It could even be an action that the person did without "you" in mind.
OR
The act could be intentional! What a bad friend huh?

It is not about what you are given but it is how you react and what you choose to take. Happiness cannot dwell in bitterness, they do not mix. Bittersweet is not a nice flavour.

Instead, whenever you get upset, channel your energies in other ways. It is not easy to do but each singular act will cause life to get easier and anger will be something you can rid yourself of as soon as it hits you. This will make you a calmer person.

You can channel your energy in a positive way when you...
1. Pray (Good things, GOD DOESN'T HAVE TIME FOR FOOLISHNESS)
2. Read a book
3. Exercise
4. Listen to music (NOT THE ANGRY TYPE. MUSIC THAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD)
5. Watch Television
6. Get some work done
7. Write in your journal or just talk to a friend you haven't seen in a while.

Recompense no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. (Romans 12:17)

BE NOT OVERCOME WITH EVIL BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD (Romans 12:21)

Be blessed and live a fulfilling life,

Joan.

SOLITUDE IS WHAT MAKES US STRONGER

With so many things happening around us, what am I supposed to do? This is a question that we all ask and only some persons will have answers to. Solitude is a time for reflection, focus, goal setting, dreaming, relaxing and just time away from others. We do need this sometimes as it helps us to recharge for the next level of our lives. While this sounds comforting and warm, for some, this process is more like a wilderness experience that creates bigger problems. To some this is a time of turmoil, inner fights, panic attacks and sadness because you are now left alone with your thoughts and your thoughts may not be healthy at a time like this where the news around you is all panic in various aspects of society.  Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, we have seen a world we once knew, shutdown, restart and shutdown again as persons get sick, health workers and other essential workers become overwhelmed, essential items become scarce, parents facing a dilemma of having to deal wi...

GOD IS BIGGER THAN YOUR DREAMS!

The Holy Spirit has a time when it reveals things about our friends, our enemies, family and even our dreams! How many times have we toiled in order to reap the harvest in our lives and in our future. We go beyond ourselves and we run before God, even when God says "Slow Down!". Did you know that God has your worries all figured out? Therefore it makes no sense to worry. You prepare and keep working until it is time to reap but do not try and speed up the process. The quality of our lives are so important yet many of us remember when it is too late. So STOP! SLOW DOWN! TAKE YOUR TIME! God wants to walk with you.  Oh house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord. (Isaiah 2:5) At times, the waiting period for our blessings may get us weary, but it is at that moment when we are completely broken that we get our breakthrough. Continue working and walking with the Lord. We all have big dreams, continue to dream big and be not afraid of the endless possib...

Before you head out!

  What if you woke up with only the things you thanked God for? I saw that post today and I realized that this question or statements similar to this, are normally overlooked. We as human beings like to be where we are appreciated and celebrated but not where we are just tolerated. We get frustrated when we give things our all and sometimes even going the extra mile for persons who did not ask for our help but needed it! So, we get upset and decide to lessen what we do to teach them a lesson.  So back to the question.... What if you woke up with only the things you thanked God for?  meaning, what if your life is a clear representation of the value you place on people and things? We may have eyes, ears, mouth, legs, hands, a heart or essentials like air or water. Now when it is taken away, we beg God for the miracles we read about in the Bible. People have disabilities due to accidents, birth defects, chronic illnesses and now COVID. All of these things affect what is thou...
