Upgraded



Are you feeling like you have tried everything you could possibly do to move ahead? Have you prayed many nights for long awaited changes to take place in your life? And are you still finding yourself in the same place you started, seeing little to no change at all? For those of you who said yes to these questions….this word is for you today.


I remember one time I was going out of town on business for a training. I had already made the necessary arrangements for the trip which included booking the hotel, flight, and renting the car. I had planned everything out prior to the trip. When I arrived at the location to pick up my rental car, there was a delay, or you can say a small problem. They did not have my rental ready. They had overbooked the rentals for that day. This was very frustrating for me because I was on a tight schedule. To add to the madness, I had to wait around for 30 to 40 minutes for them to straighten everything out. I then asked for a manager to assist with this incident.

The manager quickly resolved the issue and offered me an upgraded vehicle. I also told the manager that I had been waiting for 30 to 40 minutes for this issue to be resolved and I was behind in my schedule. The manager then upgraded the rental car again and offered me two free days. Basically, they gave me two free upgrades and two free rental days. Talk about an upgrade!

I quickly heard my Heavenly Father say “I am upgrading those of you who have encountered hindrances”. Within the past season some blessings were blocked, delayed, or even derailed but now you will begin to see your life being upgraded. What should have been given to you….more will be released to you because of the hindrances you have encountered in the past seasons for the Almighty is “upgrading” your blessings. Double for your trouble. 

My Prayer for you today: I pray for those who have encountered countless hindrances and obstacles on life’s journey. I speak that the blessings of the Lord will no longer be blocked, delayed, or hindered. Father I thank you for upgrading them on today!

Change Agent

Words to live by I am a “change agent" When I walk into a room or a place; the atmospheres most change because I am a “change agent”. Change agents change everything around them that must be changed.  Question:  what have you changed today? Marquetta

A Time of Healing from Spiritual Abuse (part two)

A month ago I gave several steps in an article that I wrote called “A Time of Healing” that victims of abuse can take in order to begin the process of healing from being abused. For those of you who are coming out of an abusive situation, I want to continue sharing thoughts and steps of how to continue the healing process. Abusers guilt: Stop carrying the abuse guilt around. Let the guilt go. Many times people who have abused individuals will make their victims feel as though they should feel guilty for leaving them. Some abusers may try to use tactics such as saying that they are going to kill themselves if you leave them. They may go as far as attempting suicide to get the victim to return to them. Don’t fall for this tactic! It’s only a ploy to get the victim to come back to them.  Prison of not forgiving: One of the biggest steps to healing from past abuse is learning how to forgive the abuser. This is also the hardest step for some survivors to do and often can...

Power

Where are you getting your power from? Have you ever been around someone or a group of people for a period of time and when you went home you were completely exhausted and did not know why.  I recently had a family function and you can imagine how draining family can be sometimes. Just the idea of going to this function made me tired. To my surprise, after attending the event, I was surprised that I felt great. I was not tired or drained at all. I asked myself what was different about this family function for me not to be so drained and exhausted…nothing. Everyone was still themselves. They had not changed at all.  I realized that the night before my best friend challenged my thinking. She told me that if I go to the function thinking that it would not go well then it will not go well. I had spent days rehearsing how bad the family function would be and didn't even realize it. I played the negative thoughts in my head over and over again. By doing that, I bec...
