Wait on the Lord

Have you ever seen those people who are waiting on the Lord? They seem to be just mulling around, waiting on the Lord to move something in their lives. Because I am a woman of action, I can say that there have been many times in my life when I should have waited on the Lord. Instead, I decided what the solution would be and took action, my kind of action my way. I know now that I should have slammed on the breaks and waited on God.

I am not talking about sitting around doing nothing and waiting for God to do it for me though. If I do that, I know that I will be doomed. Waiting on the Lord is about consulting him before we take action. Pray and meditate on his word, let it soak in before we do something rash. Consult with God through the Bible and prayer. Waiting on the Lord is about acting in 100% faith. It is about being disciplined enough to do what God ask of us and not what we feel like or what the world tempts us to do. Now, everyday we are tempted by our desires and emotions and former selves. Everyday we have to work to be holy. Our minds have to be alert and unwavering.

So, I have no problem waiting on God as long as while I wait, I am working hard to live as he would have me live, staying in prayer, making decisions with the bible as my guide, and living my life by faith. I know then that God will provide for me. He will work things out for me and give me not only everything I need but also provide me with more than I could have imagined.

Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14 As obedient children, do no conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” -1st Peter 1:13-16

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca
