NO THOUGHT IS HARMLESS, NO ATTITUDE CAN BE HIDDEN!





Isnt it amazing to know, God listens to us, loves us, understand us and i'm sure in an uncanny way He smiles down on us when we doubt or worry or have a fear of something.  I have just received my recent newsletter from Dr Caroline Leaf, it really inspired me and .......heck, why not share this with you, be inspired and be blessed by the caption from Dr Leaf.


NO THOUGHT IS HARMLESS, NO ATTITUDE CAN BE HIDDEN!
Written by Dr. Caroline Leaf
Thoughts are real - they occupy mental real estate. Every thought has a “heart” - the intention of that thought. God looks at this ‘heart’ (Jeremiah 17:10).
When we are not using our minds (intellect, will and emotions) to listen to what the Holy Spirit lays down in the depths of our spirit, then we will be listening to the lies of the enemy.
Whatever we listen to, we will think about and whatever we think about grows into a physical thought with this ‘heart’ being reflected as our attitude. People pick up on our attitudes - the intent of the thought - not the detail of the thought.
The brain is designed with various structures that facilitate this to happen. So...reflecting our ‘hearts’ is how God designed us.

How precious is your kindness o God!
Be blessed.......

HALFWAY there...Be INSPIRED



Do you sometimes feel that your sense of creativity has abandoned you? Maybe feeling a little stuck and not able to get much out of you? Finding it difficult to get inspired?

This is more or less how I’ve been feeling for quite a while. Out of creativity. Out of ideas. Out of imagination. Out of inspiration. (Which explains the lack of posts lately). OK well I wouldn’t say totally out of ideas. It’s more like blurred or vague ideas that I couldn’t get my mind to really develop.

And I hate that feeling. I hate feeling stuck. Because usually, I’m the kind of person that gets inspired easily, and thoughts and ideas come flowing right at me. So standing in front of a blank paper and not being able to fill it really drives me crazy.  Or as the thoughts come to me it's like I go into a "brain freeze"...what now?

But then the other day, while I was having coffee with my friend in one of my favorite coffee shops, I saw this:

: “When inspiration does not come to me, I go halfway to meet it”. Wow.

It’s funny how we always wait for inspiration to hit us, to strike us, and to take us by storm. How we sometimes think that it is inspiration’s job to come to us, and our job to wait for it. Feeling uninspired is something very normal, and we all feel not very creative at some point and run short of ideas. But in life, we gotta work for everything and we gotta realize that waiting gets us nowhere. Even when it comes to finding inspiration. Seeing this quote made me realize that it’s also on us. We gotta give inspiration a hand, a chance to find us.

And so I decided that this is exactly what I’m gonna be doing from now on: Meeting inspiration half way. Whenever I feel that I am running out of inspiration, of creativity, I will go and meet inspiration and creativity halfway. And when I find inspiration, I will not stop there either. Because, like I once wrote in one of my very first post somewhere: “it’s not what inspires us that really matters, it’s what we do when we’re inspired“.

May you and I both take a leaf from our own thoughts.



Be inspired........

2014...the start

2014......the start


because I am doing something new! Now you will grow like a new plant. Surely you know this is true. I will even make a road in the desert, and rivers will flow through that dry land. (Isaiah 43:19 ERV)
THIS IS THE YEAR YOU WILL GROW LIKE A NEW PLANT!




I had purposefully held back from blogging further, till the beginning of 2014.  Some reasons are due to changes that took place in my life, trying to adjust and adapt to not having "helpers" living with me, trying hard to cope with doing things on my own (and failing emotionally), having to face the change of being employed and on the go (yet going know where emotionally and mentally) to now being on disability pension, so can we just say i'm retired?

On the other hand, its been a spiritual journey, I have learnt to sit back, trust and believe.  My life is in the hands of an Almighty God and He has shown His ways to me in many exciting ways recently, I have experienced Victory spiritually and emotionally,I have experienced peace, peace of mind, peace of soul, I have experienced confirmation to Gods promises for my life,  I have seen God's miraculous Hand in many things in my life these past 4 months, and I can truthfully say...like that song so many years ago, I dont even know who sang it, ...

Put your hand in the hand
Of the man who stilled the water

Put your hand in the hand
Of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and
A you can look at others differently

By puttin' your hand in the hand
Of the man from-a Galilee

God has promised, that 2014 is the start to a brand new life for me, he is the Captain of my Cruiseliner, I just have to trust in Him.  


Although I have essential tremors, and am now no longer a working girl, I believe that God has a plan with my life, and as a Life Coach, I am going to seriously apply my mind to assist people, young and oldish, to face there health challenges.   No matter what comes our way, there is always a brighter tomorrow, we just need to allow it, open up to it....and let God do the rest.


Blessings .....
