You've heard this phrase over and over again: "Be careful what you wish for because it just might come true." Your words are powerful. They contain great energy. The words that come out of your mouth directly impact what comes into your life. They more...

You've heard this phrase over and over again: "Be careful what you wish for because it just might come true." Your words are powerful. They contain great energy. The words that come out of your mouth directly impact what comes into your life. They are a reflection of how you are thinking and so you can see exactly why your life looks like it does.

This week, monitor your conversations.
What are you saying?
What are you talking about?
Are your words critical?
Do you complain?
Do you sound energetic or tired?

What is the predominant message that you are sending out when you speak to people?
Are you optimistic?
Are you confident?
Are you capable?
Are you fun?

Do you like the conversations you are having and do you like how you sound?

Would you like to make a change in this area?
What might a change be like?
Are you saying "should" a lot?

That's an indication that you have a little critic in your head trying to direct traffic in your life.

Some Of My Thoughts:
Been watching what I say.
Been in conversation about the heatwave.

May we understand that what we say can be a blessings or a curse. May we put a watch over our mouths. May we have good words to speak in due season. Amen.

What Are Some Significant Relationships In My Life?

I've been thinking about some of my relationships.
What are some significant in my relationships? 

I see by sharing, having openness, understanding, thoughtfulness, appreciation, friendliness and some connection bring more into relationships.

When Sharing, there is feedback. It's good to have some ideas where my friends come from. I seem to grow when I share.

It's the Openness that will break the ice in relationships. If we are willing to help out to encouraged one other, we have to be open to do so. It lighten things up.

Also Understanding is a great help. Even if we say we understand and don't, it can bring come relief in relationships. It's the caring that helps.

The Thoughtfulness of what someone does can bring a good feeling inside. It's being considerate for others' needs that show respect for them.

The Appreciation and showing that a person has for others. There is a heart to love. Our action speak when we show our appreciation.

The Friendliness by having a friendly attitude is good. It's not being bossy or demanding things in return of favors.

There are Connections that flow when things in relationship come about. The caring of a person will bring some thing out in relationships.

Asking about how people are doing. Having concern when we don't see people in church. Showing people how special they are by remembering those special days in their lives.

All the things we do. either big or small will add to relationships. What makes my relationships special is the willingness to be friends with friends. It's not doing things to get things. It's just being friends.

May we grow in our relationships. May we see the significant in our relationships. May God grant us wisdom to be good friends with the people in our lives. Amen.

My Friends List~ Circle Of Influene: Do Friends Bring Postive Or Negative Energy?

I made a list of my friends. I've been looking over that list.  There are some special  people on my list. They have encouraged me along my journey.

I will admit that I've come across negative and positive energy waves in my life. I think we all do. Life is a challenge. We will run into obstacles on the way. But thank God for friends.

I seen to question the negative eves that come my way. I tend to speak to God on the matters. I don't know things. I do find myself thinking a new way we I'm attacked with negativity. Maybe there is some go in that.

But in the long run, I have learn to withdraw from people who are negative. We all can be offended by what we say to one another. The environment and eves can cause an affect on us. We need to withdraw and regroup. Things can drain us.

I love it when I receive the positive energy coming my way. It energizes me. It's like ti takes me to a new level. It builds me up.

There's some much good in feeling the energy level moving forward. It takes on something new. When I'm around energy makers it brings out some things in me.

I need to decide who are my circle of friends. I see that good friends will speak to me. I see that a lot when I'm at church. Friends come to me as I'm greeting. I also see that on my social network of friends. There are some who communicate. I like that.

I see some support when others communicate with. It's when I can tell where they come from. It's not a game where I have to guess at things.

I see that close friends choose to share some of their lives with me. That brings some experience into light. That helps out in life.

May we take note of who our friends are. May we grew from what others put into us. May we learn to withdraw from friends who are draining us. May the LORD helps us become better friends. May we always see a friend in Jesus. Amen!

How Do Friends Contribute To My Vision And Take Away From My Vision?

I'm thankful when friends contribute to my vision. They encourage me along the way of life. Life is a journey. It's nice to see that others can relate to what's to be done.

This brings an uplift. The knowing that there are others in approval of what I'm trying to do in life. The good of being a friend speaks out when things come in life.

As for the friends who take away from my vision, it holds me back. I don't want to be around negativity. The idol talk of what I believe to be so. I don't want to be speaking negative that will bring on doubt.

There are things that can be questioned. Why did you do that? There comes a time that make me what to doubt. Am I doing the right thing?

May we know when our friends are speaking from their out of love. May we not be bent out of shape over what we hear others say. May we know the different from negative speaking and correction. May God grant us the difference to know what is correct and what's out of order in Jesus' name Amen.

Who Are My Friends? Who Do I Spend Time With Why?

My #1 friend is God.  I commune with Him through Jesus and the Holy Spirit on a regular basis. There is no greater friend than God.

I have many distant friends and acquaintances from church and the interent. There are a very few close friends. I'm not much of a person to share personal matter with others.

As for my Internet friends and social network friends, they are on facebook and twitter. There are some special ones who I look at what they post. It's nice to see how others are doing. It's a good why to pray for others.

Who Do I Spend Time With?I spend majority of my time with God. I think that I would be lost without Jesus in my life. Besides family, I spend time with some friends.

I have a prayer partner. We come to pray as much as we can on the weekdays. I tend to look on Twitter and facebook to see what some of my friends are doing

May we make the time to be with the people who have influences in our lives. May we learn from one another. May we God help us to be better friends. Amen!

What Is A Friend? What Makes A Person A Friend?

I see that there are levels of friendships.
We grow in our friendship as we learn about each other.
Each level has some things special about them.
Through the process of friendship we grow.
We see that we are not perfect.
We learn things through friendship.

1.) The intimate: Knows all about you.. That person is God.
2.) Close: Knows some personal things about you.
3.) Distant: Knows you through social contacts.
4.) Acquaintances: Knows very little about you.
5.)  Want To Be Friends: They like something about you.

What Makes A Person A Friend?
There are some common ground in the friendship.
One common thing we all have; we share the same earth.
There are some influences or likeness we see in people.
There are some facts that are in common.

There are common interest.
There is a common religious.
There is a common language
There are Internet friends, social friends, church friends
There are friends who are strangers who are friendly

May we be friendly. May we see that being a friends come by being a friend. May we learn from our friends. May God bless us with good friends.

Bulid Your Inner Circle: Friend In-Deed Assignment #35

Here's Assignment #35 via assignment info

Magic Secret #2,
Friend In-Deed, is the use of a buddy in the form of a friend, a life coach, a therapist, 12-Step sponsor or any combination of those people while you go through this process of uncovering your authentic self.

It is fundamental that you gain support from and be completely honest with at least one other person, and, in so doing, your passage on the road to your Real Self will be greatly aided. Your buddy will help you stay in integrity with yourself.

Who are your friends?
Who do you spend time with?
How do they contribute to or take away from your vision?
Do they bring positive energy or negative energy?

This is a very important week. This week, make a list of who your friends are and who is in your circle of influence (including authors you read, motivational speakers you follow, and people in your world that you admire both closely and from afar).

Create a strong awareness of who you are giving your energy to, and how they are you, both positively and negatively. Remember, we are conditioned by our environment and we will "carry forward" the energy of our environment and the people we spend time with.

Decide who you will allow into your circle of influence based on who supports your vision and who is uplifting to you. Insulate yourself from those that do not have the energy and/or impact you need to move closer to your vision.

Some Of My Thoughts:Another interesting assignment.
Listing my friends...those who bring energy etc.
