Year At A Glance
Feb
So often, January brings new resolutions, new goals, new hopes, and a clean slate. All of these are fabulous, and we all need the refreshing of something new; however, I wanted to take a second to observe the new me I have become through the past year. Yes, there have been many changes in my life – personal, physical, financial, and geographical.
I want to focus on, for a second, the inner changes. I am a new person because of the previous list, but the real changes that have transformed me are the ones that took place on the inside first.
Things I have learned this year:
- Debt to others: If you ever feel as though you owe someone something like time, attention, and answer… that should be an alarm to you. I lived from a place od owing. If someone called I owe a call back, if someone wanted me to do something, I owed it to them. If if, if…I lived in a place of poverty mentally because I owed all of me to everyone.
“Owe no man anything, but to love one another, for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” Romans 8:13
this brings us to the next point.
- No one own me a thing. Just a living in obligation put me in a place of debt, feeling like I was owed was also a poverty mentality. No one, not my parents, my kids, my friends, my boss, my spouse, that person who was awful to me, not even my God owes me anything. I am responsible and empowered to live sufficiently. My Dad had given and done it all. Both of these lessons showed me where I was mentally living below par…or as I call it in a poverty mindset. Defeating that kind of mindset was a goal of mine, I never realized it started in obligation and mental debt.
- No-one Owns another man/woman. Not even our spouse. I don’t even own my kids; they are free humans who get to live their own life’s story; I get to enjoy watching it
“When a Father observes his child living in godliness, he is estatic with joy.” Proverbs 23:25
“The earth is the Lords and everything in it. the world and all its people belong to Him” Psalms 24:1…what a burden lifter that is
- Real love is not based on what I can get from you. If I really love you, then I need nothing from you. I enjoy your joys even if it means I don’t get to be a part of them because I love you, and real love doesn’t need anything in return.
- Walking in others’ shoes is not an option, but choosing to see the best in them and for them is.
Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. Romans 14:!3
- It can and will turn out better than you can expect..fearlessly believe this!
“Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.” Ephesians 3:20
“So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose.” Romans 8:38. This is why we are not to be afraid of sudden fear! We know that it will all work out, just breath!
- Being is seeing. Just be who you truly are, and then you will see what you need to see.
I was in an awful habit of being what I thought others needed me to be. Saying and doing what I thought others needed me to say or do. I have learned that what others “need” from me is for me to be the best version of me. When I am love, I manifest love to others. When I am in light, I manifest light to others. When I am at peace others benefit from being in my peace. This is not self centered, this where love begins, on the inside.
- Fear is a liar.
“Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity Kitai.” This quote is from a movie called, After Earth. This quote really struck my heart. I know that God does not give us the spirit of fear. ( 1Timothy 1:7) but what I saw when I pondered this is that Fear is something I have the ability to bring into existence by my thoughts. Thoughts of the future, thoughts of the “what if” or “how”. Fear exist if I allow it. I have every right to stop fear from exiting in my mind. I have been given power-love-soud mind. This is my reality, this is where I choose to stay. Which brings me to my next lesson this year….
- Love cast out fear
“There is no fear in love.” 1John 4:18 Just like fungus can not exist in an alkaline body, fear can not exist in a love filled mind. How do I get to a place of love? Just like feeding my body lemons or apple cider vinegar to get to alkaline I feed my mind the truth that He fist loved me, that I am a child of God, that He so loved me that He gave His son for me, that He so loves me that He knows the numbers of hairs upon my head at anytime. I recall to my thoughts that The Creator of all chose to place Christ in little ol’ me making me a power filled being. I am so powerful that it at times is beyond all comprehension. When I identify myself with who He created me to be, love effervesce from me-overflows from my full cup-pours our of my being-is who and what I become!
- I do not have to be offended, defended my life, or take personal things that people say or do.
- I am not responsible for knowing what is in the entire ocean; I am only accountable for living in that little part of the sea that is my life.
