I missed you guys last week. I am trying a new work out routine and it has me a little out of sorts in the morning. But I am excited about it.
In the meantime, I have been thinking about this F-A-I-T-H thing. Consequently the T and the H have changed. You can review the changes here.
As for today, have you ever found your mind overrun with ideas and dreams of things that you would like to have? And you think and think and think and pray (a little:-)) and dream and think some more about it until your mind or your heart explodes. Then you calm down, but it remains in the back of your head as something that you will get yourself as soon as you get a chance. The desire never goes away, you just store it away.
Our dreams, our righteous dreams, are so much more than the “things” that we desire and they should be honored with our full attention. At this point you have been FINDING & studying the promise as well as ASKING and confessing the promise. Those steps help you to identify the dreams that God will honor. And once you know that God is on your side, what is holding you back?
Now it’s time to do things to truly INTERNALIZE who you say you want to be, what you say you want to do. There are two tools that I use all the time to anchor my dreams inside my heart because I don’t want them to be passing fantasies, I want them to be real.
Tool #1: Pocket Scriptures
Tool #2: Focus Boards
Listen my alarm is ringing. It’s time to go work out, so I’ll finish this on the next post.
In the meantime, I hope you guys have some vacations planned. I know I need that time to regroup and reset my personal compass. I use it to rest and reevaluate my life, and to determine whether or not I am taking the baby steps and grown up strides to get me to the places that I want to be in this lifetime.
“See” you next week.

Secrets is based on the Law of Attraction. Yes, I have seen it. In my life mentally and emotionally focusing on what I want, need or dream is just the beginning. I have to put some action with it, some type of effective action with it. Doctors study for it, the best singers do too. I have to prepare my heart and my character and my conversation for the dream that I have been praying for. I have too go to work on it (what I am hoping for) or at least I have to go to work on me (making sure that I am the kind of person who can handle what I have been hoping for)
HG, Look for the post that covers the T (Training & Taking Action) in the process; I will post it next week.

Ms. J
I seen this program called “Secrets” and it has you focus on something, write it down or take a picture of it. And to make a long story short, in the end this “gift” would just happen for you. Have you seen “Secrets”? Did I get the meaning wrong? Did I miss something? Because I been concentrating on something special for me (and even praying about it) and it hasn’t came yet! I am going to take that vacation, however!
