Cloudy with a Chance of the Son

Morning Meds 3.4

Cloudy with a Chance of  the Son

Have you ever had a cloud hanging over you but didn't realize it until it lifted? I just had that happen to me. I was telling a friend I've been experiencing increased Son-shine (or connection to God) and I didn't know how much I needed it. As an encourager, I always try to retrace my steps to see if I've contributed to the troubles, especially if I can prevent that in someone else's life.
I've lived pretty clean and disciplined for several years but I don't think I recognized the value until I let some of those disciplines slip. It's got me very excited about re-tuning my character because I don't believe in going backward, but going forward into those old disciplines with new appreciation and energy.
What are those things you need to revalue about yourself? Life has enough storms without us contributing to them, don't you think?

The Way

Morning Meds 3.3

The Way

When it comes to your destiny, I often tell my clients that you can choose the destination, but the way is largely determined by God. I say largely because Proverbs 16:9 indicates that "A man plans his way, but the Lord directs His steps." No plan, no direction.  Haven't you found this to be true in your life? But too often we abandon planning because it doesn't go exactly the way we thought. Now that you know this Proverb, that should help right? It's not going to go the way you think it should. As long as you end up in the place God puts on your heart then it doesn't matter right? So be persistent, be downright stubborn about seeing your dreams come true and letting go of "the way."

The Legacy of Eve

Morning Meds 3.1

The Legacy of Eve

The history of women is a bit tainted, if you believe it begins with Eve. I got a fresh perspective on her at the last Single Mom'sSaturday.  It wasn't until after the forbidden fruit incident that Eve was named. At that time her role was changed to be "the mother of all living," (Genesis 3:20) which is what her name means. Our awesome speaker, Joyce Butler, said that not only do women have the responsibility to birth life into the earth in the form of babies, but also, when we see death we can choose to speak life. In fact, the word "inspire" means to "breathe life into."
Now that's a legacy to be proud of! What situations need your "life support" today? Breathe the breath of life from your mouth today.

Butterfly's Wings

One of my favorite stories in nature is of the butterfly coming out of the cocoon. It is said that the opening in the cocoon is too small for it. But don't you try to help it out! In struggling to come out of the cocoon the butterfly's wings are actually strengthened.
Have you ever felt that way? I am embracing my current struggles and actually seeing the strength coming into my wings. I feel empowered by this tiny opening. May you feel more ready to fly than ever before.

Business is Emotional

Morning Meds 2.30

Business Is Emotional



"There's no crying in baseball!" Says the famous movie. Many of us feel the same way about our businesses. Women often feel uncomfortable about the emotions they feel in business knowing that we shouldn't make decisions based purely on emotion.

And I second that emotion! But as emotions began to rise for me in a couple of business deals I was working on this week I remembered my Morning Meds from the past weeks and decided to sit with the emotions a bit and let them teach me, like symptoms, what might be the concerns in having in these situations.

It's an important note that if we stay with our emotions too long we go from an instructional session to a pity party. Be honest with yourself when that's happening. When that happens my favorite mood changer is music...what's yours?

This week I included an audio message for people with a network marketing business that may be a mood changer for you and may help to reconnect you to why you joined your business in the first place.

Broken

Morning Meds 2.29

Broken



It's frustrating when you can't quite put your finger on what is wrong. This past week I got a chance to take a dose of my own Morning Meds from last week. (Click here to view video)

Emotions being like physical symptoms became very real to me as I dealt with fatigue and minor stomach and head pain all because of some emotions. I spent time with them this week, trying not to judge them and let them speak to me of their origin. 
Believing there is an answer, in the face of not knowing it, is one of the most radical assertions. It's faith in action. It is the heart of "be angry and don't sin," (Ephesians4:26) noticing you feel a certain way, but adding your wisdom before making a decision.

So here's to emotional health, not walking on emotionally broken legs, but getting help, getting support and giving time for restoration.
