SELF-CARE: “LOVING FROM THE HEART-THE ORIGIN OF LOVE” “FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU” (VOLUME 5)………………

June 19, 2022

Good morning Kings, Queens, and Princesses!

Falling in love with myself is a process and journey that I’m falling in love with each and every day. something that I embrace in spite of the external challenges. Its an process that only “YOU” can experience. There are things that you need to embrace within yourself, and love yourself in site of those imperfections (insecurities, low self-esteem, timidness, not being good enough, etc…). Falling in love with me is something that I consciously do every day. There was a time in my life when I didn’t love, no less than like myself due to an abusive father that attacked my mother, and siblings, told me that I will never amount up to anything in life, etc… WORDS are powerful, and can make or break you, especially coming from a loved one, which was my father. I have learned and learning to love myself daily. I have hiccups or bumps in the road on this journey, but they are well worth enduring on my way to falling in love with myself. I’m so worth the work that I put in to bring myself genuine love (that come from GOD Almighty- The ORIGIN of LOVE❤).

Starting today, love yourself enough to know that you’re valuable, and worth the work that you put into yourself. The process may not feel good, but trust me when I tell you that it will be worth the journey (work). My process is always revolving from level to level, so this allows me to live outside my comfort zone on a daily basis , which I’m used to. This is how I’m able to have a intimate and closer relationship with GOD (living outside my comfort zone). I love you, and I love who I am today because of the journey that I have endured❤

VALIDATION COMES FROM GOD………………

June 12, 2022

VALIDATION: Recognition or affirmation that a person and/or their feelings and/or opinions are valid or worthwhile.

The root cause of most approval-seeking behavior is low self-esteem. This sense of inferiority arises from many factors. Some relate to your natural personality, while others stem from external influences such as your upbringing, cultural experience, education, and work life

Validation was always important to me coming from my parents. I was raised in an domestic violence home, and being validated was everything to me. If I felt that I wasn’t validated, then I was worth nothing. This kind of validation was very unhealthy and diseased.

Validation comes from GOD, the one who is the AUTHOR of validation. We, as believers, discover who we are in Christ. Our identity, approval, and acceptance with God do not come from overcoming test and trials in life. We overcome in life because of who and whose we are in Christ.

Validation come from GOD, and not man. Stop seeking who you are from the world. Remember, if you give power to the world to build you up, just know that they will use that same power to knock you down to the ground with your face in the dirt.

Stop looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love–you have a treasure within that is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

Eckhart Tolle

MY VALIDATION COMES FROM WHO MADE ME IN HIS LIKENESS❤

FROM STRUGGLES……………. COMES STRENGTH…………

June 5, 2022,

Good morning my Kings, Queens, and Princesses!

STRUGGLE: Make forceful or violent efforts to get free of restraint or constriction; (2) A forceful or violent effort to get free of restraint or resist attack.

STRENGTH: The quality or state of being physically strong; (2) The capacity of an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure.

GOD has given me such great strength through my struggles that has amazed me, and at the same time knowing that only GOD could bring this kind of strength through my struggles.

There are some folk that don’t take struggle so well. Some do negative (not believing), and hurtful things because of the struggle that they endure. Not having the knowledge that GOD is able to do exceedingly, abundantly all that we can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20 KJV) is a key component to living to living your best life in spite of the struggles that you endure. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is STRENGTH.

I always example myself as the caterpillar that turns into a beautiful butterfly. Without the struggle, my wings would be crippled and non-existing.

The caterpillar that lies inside the cocoon will never become the beautiful butterfly if someone cuts open the cocoon prematurely (aborts the process). It is the STRUGGLE itself that allows the butterfly to emerge as a strong, new elegant creature of nature.

As I have stated before, EMBRACE your struggles. When you start thanking and praising GOD for your struggles (even though they may not feel good), they will be a part of who you are, and that is STRENGTH (the strength that GOD has given you)!

YOUR STRUGGLE is your strength. If you can resist becoming negative, bitter, or hopeless, in time, your struggles will give you everything.

MY STRENGTH IS IN MY STUGGLES💕………………………..

STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD…………..

May 29, 2022

Good morning King, Queens, and Princesses!

To stand on the promises of God is not only to have complete assurance in their (promises) fulfillment, but to live one’s life in faithful service to the Ancient of Days that made those promises.

The promises of GOD are yea and amen (2 Corinthians 1:20). The promises of GOD in my life are worth standing on in spite of what I’m feeling/not feeling, going, through, not trusting the process, etc… It doesn’t matter how I feel, but the faith that I bring forth in spite of my unbelief.

Be ENCOURAGED people of the most high GOD. For you labor is not in VAIN!

LOVE IN SPITE OF REJECTION (VOLUME 2)…………….

May 22, 2022

Good morning King, Queens, and Princesses!

REJECTION: The dismissing or refusing of a proposal, idea, Et (and) Cetera (the rest).

Rejection has been my friend for years. I didn’t know how to handle it, and acted out in many unhealthy ways and manner. As I have learned down through the years, that rejection isn’t so bad. I have learned to embrace rejection, deal with the feeling that embraces me, and ask GOD for his covering upon my life. I have learned not to take rejection personally. It’s redirection for me. It’s GOD letting me know, “this is not the way that I want you to go”

~REJECTION IS REDIRECTION~

Rejection is something that a lot of folk don’t come back from. In the field of mental health care, rejection most frequently refers to the feelings of shame, sadness, or grief people feel when they are not accepted by others. A person might feel rejected after a significant other ends a relationship. A child who has few or no friends may feel rejected by peers. Rejection can come in all shapes and forms.

The characteristics of social rejection is increases anger, anxiety, depression, jealousy and sadness. It reduces performance on difficult intellectual tasks, and can also contribute to aggression and poor impulse control.

Jesus was rejected in all shape, form, and fashion, and continued to do the will of His Father. This is the ultimate EXCELLENT example of loving in spite of rejection.

REJECTION is merely REDIRECTION; A Course Correction to your DESTINY.

REJECTION is REDIRECTION, and gives me POWER to PERSERVERE in spite of the pain.

Renee Verchelle Shorter

Embrace rejection. The life GOD saves may be your own🖤

SELF-CARE: “FORGIVE/FORGIVENESS”PART❤️ 2 (VOLUME 4)……………………….

May 15, 2022

FORGIVE: (1): stop feeling angry or resentful toward (someone) for an offense; (2): stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for (an offense, flaw, or mistake); (3): cancel (a debt).

Forgiveness is mandatory for me. I ask GOD for forgiveness of my sins, and the sins of the nation/world on a daily basis. Learning to forgive myself allows me to live my life more abundantly. It’s a feeling of freedom and rejuvenation that I live everyday, because I’m asking for forgiveness, and forgiving (I will be doing a series on forgive/forgiveness).

MY TRANSPARENCY: Forgiveness is so important in my christian walk of life. Forgiveness is like going to work everyday for me. I’m aware of what I’m going through (thoughts, envy, or hatred). I acknowledge, ask GOD for divine forgiveness, and then go to the person that I have the ought against, and ask them to forgive me. I ponder over my life, and ask GOD to put a person back in my life (that I need to ask for forgiveness) so that I may ask them to forgive me. GOD brings that person back into my life so I that I may ask for forgiveness, and move on.

Forgiveness leads to feelings of understanding, empathy, compassion, and integrity for the one who hurt you. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or excusing the harm done to. Forgiveness brings a kind of peace and power, that allows you to live you life with GREATNESS!

Forgiveness releases us from the hold of hurt, disappointment, and discouragement. Understanding the importance of forgiveness has nothing to do with the other person or the offense. With the LORD JESUS CHRIST as the lover of our souls, He leads us to grace and mercy (covering).

My desire to FORGIVE (no matter how much pain the accuser has caused me), my POSTURE ( the position or bearing of the body whether characteristic or assumed for a special purpose) is divinely purposed to do GREATNESS and miracles in GOD.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour (a loud continuous noise), and evil speaking, but put away from you, with all malice: (32) And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, FORGIVING one another, even as GOD for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Ephesians 4:31-32.

AFFIRMATION:

There is POWER, INTEGRITY and GREATNESS in FORGIVENESS❤️………………………………………………………. I FORGIVE MYSELF FOR NOT FORGIVING ME❤️………………………….

FORGIVENESS is a Virtue of the BRAVE.

Forgive yourself for believing that your anything less than beautiful.

ISOLATION (VOLUME 1)………………

May 29, 2022

Good morning Kings, Queens, and Princesses!

ISOLATE: *cause (a person or place) to be or remain alone or apart from others.

ISOLATION: The process or fact of isolating or being isolated.

My walk and relationship with GOD is EVERYTHING to me.  Have you been praying to go to the next level in GOD, seeking wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in His word? This could explain your isolation. If God is removing people from your life, don’t be discouraged. God never takes anything away from us without replacing it with something better. BE ENCOURAGED.

BE ENCOURAGED my Kings, Queens, and Princesses. This may feel like a uncomfortable situation for you right now, but just know that better that the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit (Ecclesiastes 7:8 KJV). And we know that ALL things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them that are called according to HIS purpose (Romans 8:28 KJV). Everyone is not called according to GOD’s purpose. This is an individual walk, and what works for someone else is not what GOD is calling you to.

I love this quote from Brianna Wiest stating to walk in your greatness alone. This is what I’m doing each and every day. When you can embrace isolation, you are a force to be reckon with.

You should know that a period of isolation is required before a massive breakthrough. You are here to shed layers, years. identities, relationships, and everything else that is keeping you from writing the same old story. Allow it. Walk tall and alone, for as long as you need to. This is your becoming.

Brianna Wiest.

ISOLATION is one the best things that could and continue to happen to me. It may not feel good for me sometimes, but I preserve outside my comfort zone, and trust GOD in the confidence that He has given me to know that All will be WELL!

SELF-CARE: “ACCEPTANCE” (VOLUME 2)…………………….

May 1, 2022,

Good morning Kings, Queens, Princesses!

ACCEPTANCE: The action of consenting to receive or undertake something offered.

When we’re self-accepting, we’re able to embrace all facets of ourselves—not just the positive, more ‘esteem-able’ parts.” Full self-acceptance can lay the foundations for positive self-esteem, and the two frequently go hand-in-hand.

I had to learn to love myself and accept the things that I can’t change, courage and bravery to change the things that I can, and great wisdom from God to know the difference (wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, and discernment).

ACEEPTANCE is something that plays a vital part in the life of a Christian. Acceptance allows you to have a conversation with yourself and ask, “have I accepted me for me?” Acceptance is part on my SELF-CARE LOVE. I do the work that it takes for my acceptance of things that I know that I can t change, but can accept them, and teach women that acceptance to accept the good, bad, and ugly. This is going to make you the powerful woman of GOD that He designed you to be.

WALK in the way that GOD is taking you. ACCEPTANCE may not feel good at first, but it will be for your good, and you will be like me, walking in greatness in spite of your FLAWS because of GOD being my EVERYTHING!

AFFIRMATION:

GOD MADE ONLY ONE YOU! EMBRACE THAT BEAUTIFUL YOU!!

Acceptance doesn’t mean that you agree with, condone, appreciate, or even like what has happened.

Acceptance means that you know, regardless of what has happened, that there is something bigger than you at work.

It also means that you know you are okay, and that you will continue to be ok.

SELF-CARE: “LOVING FROM THE HEART-THE ORIGIN OF LOVE” (VOLUME 1)…………………….

April 24, 2022

Good morning!

SELF CARE: (1) The practice of taking action to preserve or improve one’s own health.

WHAT IS SELF-CARE LOVE?

Self-love is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological and spiritual growth. Self-love means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others.

My self-love journey has been bitter sweet, but worth all the work that I have done, and am doing to continue this wonderful process. for me, self-care is digging deep within and getting to the stuff that I don’t want to deal with such as my insecurities, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, unassertiveness, timidness, etc….

When I have company, and sometimes unexpected company (insecurities, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, unassertiveness, timidness, etc….), I get out glasses of wine, and we have a pow-wow sit down conversation as to why you keep showing up at different levels. THE CONVERSATION: I’m here ( insecurities, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, unassertiveness, timidness, etc….) because you have conquered me at the level that I thought I could take you out in. Now, it looks like you’re at a level that I have to rethink my strategic on how I should come at you. I let them (insecurities, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, unassertiveness, timidness, etc….) know that I have a GOD that loves me enough to heal my insecurities, and the ones that pop up, I can deal with them accordingly. Now I can say that I welcome the things that I don’t want to deal with because I know that I have the GOD of Israel on my side to deliver me from all of my less SELF-CARE LOVENESS.

Love yourself enough to deal with the good, bad, and the ugly. I embrace dealing with all that and more. I love myself enough to deal with it, have a good cry, and then do my self-care love that I deserve and need for me.

SELF-CARE LOVE is one of the best things that I love doing for me.

LOVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF YOU TO THE FULLEST (BEGIN AND END WITH GOD)…………

AFFIRMATION:

I AM WONDERFULLY AND FEARFULLY MADE BY THE LOVER OF MY SOUL!

Loving yourself has nothing to do with being selfish, self-centered, self-engrossed. It means that you accept yourself for what you are. Loving yourself means you accept responsibility for your own development, growth, and happiness. When you love yourself, you pave the way for all you want and need to come to you at the right time in the perfect way.
