confidence vs. conceit

-
I had plan to talk about humbleness. I guess it goes hand in hand with tonight's topic. Humble me, Lord, not for me but for those whose lives you use me to touch for the better. Humble me, Lord that when I dwell in the house of kings I may dwell with heavenly and earthly honor. When we have talent we must ensure we give all praises to the Creator for it. Our attitude and how we view others will be a reflection of our understanding that God blesses us with all talents. In life we must be sure to know there is a difference in the words confidence and conceit. When one has confidence in him or herself, it is a surety in God that he will continue to provide you with the talent that makes you anything but ordinary but conceit (self-deceit) is a surety that you have made yourself anything but ordinary. It's a thin line yall. I've crossed it a time or two myself. May God keep me focused not to again. We cling to our true source, our first love - God Almighty, our sole provider, who bestows upon us all grace and mercy. So as we progress people, let's live and embrace destiny with confidence not conceit. After all, our forefather's knew in who we must trust - They were so confident in his majesty they printed it on money- In God We Trust!!!

Happy Valentine’s Day on this side‼️🤸🏽🤸🏽‼️

-
  On this side of 50, I view Valentine’s Day differently. I almost allowed society, social media, life to send me back down a road I ran off of on purpose! I fell back in love with myself SUPER HARD nearly two years ago.   It actually began right before I discovered all the benefits of TLC products. I saw the negative thoughts of myself gradually disappear.    I no longer thought of myself as being less than. Don’t even know when that became a thought of mine (If you know, you know). Thank God I started listening and reminding myself of what God said of me.  So two years later,    I’m telling satan gone on… I will not waddle in singleness. After all, singleness does not equal loneliness. Instead, I aim to flourish in my singleness #becoming who I AM says I am‼️ I am celebrating the woman I’ve become! I am celebrating the phenomenal mom, daughter, the sister, relative, friend, the teacher, HOPE pusher I’m designed to be.  Happy Valentine’s Day to m...

#BECOMING on this side of 50

​ FINALLY, on this side of 50, sitting peacefully in refinement. I love God but I’ve been bucking against what I’ve been seeing and feeling in the spirit. I’ve been hashtagging #BECOMING for a year on January 1, 2026. God used  Pastor Mike, Jr. to let me know I am yet to #BECOME. It is true we are #BECOMING daily when we go forth in submission and surrender to God and His way! His way covers not only His instructions but also His plans, His actions, His GLORY, MIGHT, & POWER‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥 On this 1st day of February, God has shown me I haven’t completely surrendered because via @PMJ’s series “BECOME” I realized even when introduced to the book “ Let Them” written by Mel Robbins via a Crystal LaShone’s informative post, I fail to complete the assignment of sitting still and reading it. Not only reading it but also understanding as well as implementing its theory. So I’m moving forward in obedience and surety that the Great I Am in all His Glory, Power, Might wills for me to be a r...

Common Folks

-
Still thinking about considering myself common. Am I common to the students I teach? Am I common to the people at the corner store? Do others see the light from heart that I want to shine through my face? Do others even notice the desire I have to make his or her day, just by my being alive this or that day? I am so set on changing for the better of mankind that I have to look at all life's matters. I have come to realize that my actions can influence or hinder someone's thoughts, dersire, and actions. I didn't ask for this but surely I want to make the best out of life's matters that one may meet me and feel as if they will never be the same. Not on a supernatural level I leave that for God but on us being blessed to have met. Still I must remember I'm common folks. Loving being common.
