Get bUoyed Up! [In The Heat Of The Battle]

  Every now and then you hit a season in your life in which it seems like all hell has broken loose and trouble has engulfed all around you. No matter what you do, problems tend to seek you out and attach themselves to you in one way or another.  The trials of life can seem so bad that even breathing seems like a hardship. The more you try, the worst things seem to get. Every inch of your life seems to have some form of disturbance or turmoil. If it's not the job, it's the home, your marriage, your children or some other nerve-wracking intrusion.  If I may, I want to suggest to you that what you are going through is not designed to destroy you, but in reality, it's a setup.  Yes, you are in the heat of a spiritual battle and you are being set up for something bigger and better. If I may digress, you are currently going through a life changing process. While the attacks seem tangible, the impact of the process effects your mind, soul, and spirit. It is key that you remain focus and keep your feet firm to the ground and don’t let life obstructions alter your course.  I know it sounds crazy but sometimes the thing that appears to be taking you out is actually positioning you to be elevated or blessed.  You are at a location on the road of your life that leads to a breakthrough.  Just before the win there is always overwhelming struggles.  Don't veer off the path.  During this time it may look or feel like it's over or everything is going to hell in a hand bag, but around the corner is a victory in your favor. In order to obtain this favorable result, you must stay in the heat of the battle and not quit.  You may not be able to see it during the process, but you are being shaped and molded by your turbulences.  After the shaping and molding, the fruition of victory is manifested. You have just been bUoyed Up!

Get bUoyed Up! [Negative Thinking]

 One of the most crucial aspects of your mental health is your thought process.  The ability to reason, imagine, problem solve and make sound judgements without disruptions in your mental thought process are necessary parts of your psyche and its impact on your day to day cognitive functions.  Sometimes this thought process can be disrupted by negative thoughts or simply "negative thinking." Negative thinking or negative thoughts can occur at any moment during any time of our lives. The question is...….how do you respond to negative thinking?  Do you surrender your inner power and allow the thought to take control?   Do you simply try to ignore it with the hopes of, in time, the bad thought will go away?   In either of these choices, the outcome whether it be long term or short term is not good for your overall mental health.  You should never give in, cater to, or ignore negative thoughts.  It is always a good idea to address any negative thoughts or negative emotional patte

Get bUoyed Up! [It's Not Always About You]

 Most people in life do things for the sole purpose of garnering attention and prominence for themselves. They seem to have no interest in how their purpose can affect others.  I believe one of the main reasons for our being is to impact the lives of other people. The unwillingness to share your gifts and talents with others is self-centered and heartless.  A sure sign that you are still growing and developing as a human being, is when you have a selfish mentality. When you are blessed with knowledge and a high level of understanding, spread that intellectual gift with others. If you are financially blessed, share your wealth. If you are mechanically or technologically astute, don't covet your skillsets and abilities from others. If you are a believer and God has gifted you with a supernatural gift (healing, prophecy, wisdom etc.), this does not mean that you are better than someone else or that God thinks more highly of you. It simply means that you were purposed to impact the liv

Get bUoyed Up! [Ignore The Chatter]

  As long as there are people on this earth, there will always be bavardage.  Bavardage is just an elegant word for the term gossip or chatter. People will continue to voice their opinions and chatter about others, their situations and their circumstances regardless of the facts or the impact it may have.   Even the media at times can be viewed as one the most outspoken sources of gossip or misinformation depending on the content being discussed and the factors involved.   The intent of the information can seem harmless but the result or the impact for someone on the receiving end can be distressing. Casual gossip is not just isolated to one entity or source, there are times when it's your own family member that's gossiping about something, or your neighbor, or your co-worker, or even that loyal church member that appears to be respectful in character. I must admit, I have personally found myself engaging in conversations that are not always of good intentions.  As I examine my
