Make Every Minute Count! #Cont…



Hi everyone, how has your day been? Mine has been quite a rainy day. As a matter of fact, I got drenched by the rain. I didn’t expect it to rain as heavily as it did but at the same time I’m grateful for it and am sure those that have farms, gardens, would be thankful for it as well.
Ok, so in the morning before I rushed off to school, I was speaking on how we should make every moment count. Well, I don’t mean to suggest that we should be doing something with every minute of every day. Taking time to reflect and just drink in the quiet and silence is also very valuable during those moments between scheduled events. Silence restores the soul and helps prepare us for the next thing we need to do. I value my quiet moment and so I try to create time to have my “alone moment” no matter how tight my schedule is.

We need to learn to discern our needs physically, mentally, emotionally, and of course spiritually and use our time accordingly. Sometimes reading is best and at other times sitting quietly and doing absolutely nothing is best, we just need to know which one is suitable at the moment. Just remember that once time goes by, we cannot ever get it back, so let’s use it wisely.
The worst thing that can happen to anyone is to grow old and look upon their lives and realize they never took the time to do what they thought they were supposed to do or what they wanted to do or better yet feel they have wasted their lives. I don’t want you either to look back tomorrow and be filled with regrets. What is it you want to do? What is that vision you have been waiting for all these years to feature in? What is that passion that leaves you breathless every time you think about it? It’s time to get it done. Look for that cloud of confirmation and walk through it. Don’t let the time slip away from you. You may never get it back again. No matter your age, it is never too late to start using your time wisely and bearing good fruit. 

As believers, we do not mourn over the past, we simply let it go and move on. Joel 2:25 (KJV)  “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.” We serve a God who specializes in total recovery and restoration and a perfect example is seen when He sent his only begotten son to come restore us back to our rightful place. All we need to do is let him in and allow him to manage us and our time instead of us managing Him. Your latter years can be even more fruitful than your former years if you determine today not to waste another minute, but to take dominion over every unproductive thing in your life and be fruitful every day. #You can do this….

No Place Like Home…

Home is anywhere you find peace and fulfillment, anywhere you are free to be yourself, express yourself and still be accepted. It could also be within the confines of a building, although not all the time. Growing up, i was a bit hyperactive and troublesome. I would go outside and look for trouble and when a fight starts, i would run back home where i know i will be safe and my brother’s​ would fight for me. To me, my home was my safe haven, my dad my hero, my mom my mentor and my siblings my best support system. It didn’t matter where i was, i would always want to run back home.  Over the years i have discovered that a lot of people do not feel at home in their homes, nor use their voices in their ​own homes. We must have all heard of the saying “Home is where the heart is.”right? For me, my home isn’t just a place where i eat and sleep, it’s also a place where i find peace, a place where i don’t have to hide what I feel and how i feel. It serves a greater purpose than simpl...

Greener Grass....(The Secret To Happiness)

<a href="http://whitneyibeblog.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/wp-1482219406291.jpeg"><img title="wp-1482219406291" class="alignnone size-full" alt="image" src="http://whitneyibeblog.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/wp-1482219406291.jpeg" /></a> We need to search our lives for any areas where we've subscribed to the "Greener Grass" mentality and renounce these in the name of Jesus. We need to  spend time looking for the many blessings God has put in our lives. We <strong><em>will </em></strong>find them, and the day we do will mark the first day in our lives that we are truly happy.  This however, does lead to an interesting question: If the "greener grass" mentality only leads us to discontentment and sin, and if this spirit of covetousness is at the root of all ev il, then why do we always seek the "greener grass" that we don't have? The answer is simple: It is...

How Justified Are You.... .

We are saved not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit"</strong></em> Total Justification by faith was Martin Luther's great spiritual and theological breakthrough. It did not come easily. He had tried everything from sleeping on hard floors and fasting to climbing a staircase in Rome while kneeling in prayer. Monasteries, disciplines, confessions, masses, absolutions, good works-all proved fruitless. Peace with God eluded him. The thought of the righteousness of God pursued him. He hated the very word "righteousness," which he believed provided a divine mandate to condemn him. Light finally dawned for Luther as he meditated on Romans 1:17, "<em>For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith</em>." He saw for the first time that the righteousness Paul ha...
