Take it all in.

THE STEPS TO CHANGE

LISTEN
Before you attempt to make any change in your life listen to your spirit.
Tune out the voices of others and simply listen to the God within you. Our
best advice comes from our most powerful connection to God, our intuition.

PREPARE
Be prepared for change. Know how you will handle obstacles. Know what you
want out of a situation. Know what you are prepared to give your time,
energy and love to. Be focused on your goal and stick to the advice God
has given you. We so many times try to ignore our spirit or justify what
our conscious is telling us. If you stop debating with your spirit and
simply listen and prepare for change, you will be able to make the
necessary steps to change your life.

PLAN
If we want to make any changes in life we cannot sit and wait for the good
to come to us. You have to make your future, create your destiny. Never
give up on your dreams or goals, simply plan a way to get there and give
yourself a timeline and deadline

BE READY
Being prepared for a situation and being emotionally and mentally ready
are entirely different things. You have to be prepared for everything that
is going to come into your life. You have to realize that your thoughts
create your reality. You must know that without a plan your life can go on
any course. Therefore you must have your spirit and mind prepared for the
changes God will bring. Realize that the experiences life will bring is
not always what you had planned or hoped for. But if you have the love of
God and realize that you are powerful because God is within you, you will
overcome every obstacle. Not only will you come out on the glorious side
but you will be a more powerful, spiritual, loving person if you remain a
conscious participant in your life and look at how the lessons of your
life enfold and create who you are.

FOCUS
No matter what occurs in your life, never lose sight of your goal. If you
want to achieve you must believe you can, ask and thank God for it, then
you must continue to work towards that goal on a daily basis.

Lord, Please Bless My Computer

Every night I lie in bed
This little prayer inside my head
God bless my mom and dad
and bless my children
and take care of my spouse
who brings me so much joy...
God, there's just one more thing
I wish that you would do
if you don't mind my asking
To bless my ‘puter too??
Now I know that it's not normal
to bless a small machine
but listen just a second
and I'll try to explain...
You see, that little metal box
holds more than odds and ends
Inside those small components
rest a hundred loving friends.
Some it's true I've never seen
and most I've never met...
never shaken hands or
ever truly hugged, and yet...
I know for sure they love me
by the kindnesses they give,
and this little scrap of metal
is how I get to where they live.
By faith is how I know them,
Much the same as I know You.
I share in life it brings them,
So if it's OK with you...
Just take an extra minute
from your duties up above...
to bless this little hunk of steel
that's filled with so much love.
So God, Please Bless My Puter...

It does not take much, just a few words, or a small gesture,

to spread some light in someone's world.

A Seed of Faith
In your worst moments, a seemingly far-fetched or ridiculous-sounding positive thought, word, or action can act as a seed of faith that will spark the healing process for you. As you meditate on God's Word and pray, daring to quote His promises for your healing, your faith will grow, and you will receive your miracle.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.- Hebrews 11:1 Be Blessed! Elizabeth

Just believe * that you can do anything that you are more powerful than you can comprehend that you are perfect just as you are right now that fear does not exist in miracles in yourself

Get yourself right smack dab into the middle of LIFE and LIVE it.

Don't hold back. 

The journey is AMAZING.
