CHOICES...Clarity vs Confusion

By -
If you are reading this it means that you are alive.  If you are alive that means that you are faced with choices.  Just like the air we breath, we get the opportunity daily to make choices in our life.  In fact:
You are the sum total of the choices made yesterday!

What will you choose today?

  • clarity vs confusion
  • late vs being prompt
  • sickness vs healing
  • sadness vs happiness
  • building vs destruction
  • frustration vs fortune
  • victim vs victorious
  • life vs death
"See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction". 
~Deuteronomy 30:15

Knowing that you have choices should cause us to stop and live life with intention.  Spend time daily figuring out what you "intend" or plan to accomplish everyday.  If you have no plan or vision, you perish.  In other words, when you don't set goals for yourself you exist in this life instead of bursting forth towards purpose and fulfillment.  

Making the right choices day after day is protection for your soul.  Now don't get me wrong, we all screw up along this journey but if we set out with intention, we lessen the mistakes we make along the way.

Ever wonder what your legacy will be?  It's actually easy to find out.  If I ask someone, "What do you think about _________ (insert your name)" and the person responds, ugh and shakes their head in detest, then that means you might not be succeeding in leaving a great legacy.  But If I ask someone about you and they say, "Him/her is a beautiful person, Or he/she is so patient and giving" then you are already sowing seeds of a lavish legacy that will last for years.

The challenge this week is for you to start sowing those seeds of positive intention.  Spend 10 minutes each day simply making a plan.  Be the driving force in the events that happen in your life - don't allow life to drive you and leave you behind.  

Roslyn's Fun Trivia:  Can you try and guess what my favorite words are?  

Well, if you are a faithful reader you know I love mornings.  They are sacred to me.  There's the clue...my favorite words are GOOD MORNING!  Not because it announces a time on the clock but because it announces a new season of awakening.  (Posted by Roslyn)

GOOD MORNING my love! A new day has begun.

My Top 5 Tips To Stay Fit Without a Gym!

It's Fun Friday and I'm sharing some great workout tips.  Fortunately I've never struggled with working out (it's the good eating that always throws me for a loop).  I've always enjoyed going to the gym. So you can imagine when I moved to my rural community I was stressed with the fact that there wasn't a gym nearby.  Needless to say, I had to get creative on staying fit.  My business travel schedule, community and church obligations didn't make finding time to work out any easier.  I realized that my creative juices would have to flow on a alternative way to stay fit.  Here are some of my fun, no gym needed workouts: Walk/run intervals through the neighborhood Cardiovascular exercise is the foundation of most of my work- outs.  The light posts in my neighborhood provide a great way to walk & run in equal distance from the back to the front of the subdivision.  I will normally walk, jog, or sprint in intervals between each light post...

Take A Lesson From Ants

By -

I walked into my house and a portion of my floor was covered with little, black ants.  I instantly knew the kids had dropped some sticky substance on the tile floor. That mess attracted what looked like an entire nest of these little, pesky insects.  They were all moving around in unison enjoying what was probably going to be their lunch or dinner. Ironically on Sunday, a dear friend gave me a wonderful scripture about the lesson we can learn from ants.  Really, I thought, how can I possibly learn anything from something that annoys me so much.  I guess you know where I'm going with this.  There is a lesson to learn from ants about efficiency and productivity.   The ants didn't waste any time moving into action to retrieve whatever mess my boys left on the floor.  Not only that, they called all of their "ant" friends to help them in this insurmountable task. Are you a slacker?  Do you like to procrastinate?  Do you constantly have the a...

I Am Raising America's Most Hated...

BEWARE:  This is not your normal blog post It is not easy raising children.  But raising one of our country's most hated members of society brings more complication into the equation.  Let me clarify for you...raising a black male in America IS scary.  The world easily looks at color on a male as a deterrent to any intellectual ability.  Most men of color are viewed with the ability to only perform one thing - entertainment.  It could be a stand up comedian, singer, runner, actor, football or basketball player. Black males, unfortunately, only see the world through limited lenses.  Other races, ethnicities and gender can view the world with a vast amount of opportunities, but not if you are a black male.  You walk into a room or a packed elevator and people grab their handbags.  You walk next to their car and they lock their doors.  It's the overwhelming amount of negative images that have plagued and are fed into mainstream homes ...
