Attitude Check

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING…
SO CHOOSE A GOOD ONE!
Okay Folks…

First off, springtime is here and March has been one of those glorious months for me.
Trust me, coming off the tail end of a difficult period. God has been blessing me and favoring me and I am just grateful.

Today, I want to talk about attitude and how we have to be careful of the attitudes we display.
I know everyone has moods, some good and bad and sometimes our bad moods hit us at inopportune times but we can do something about those moods right?

Well, I learned today that I have to be deliberate to keep my moods in check and have the right attitude despite how I am feeling. A friend from out of town asked me to do a huge favor and commit to picking them up early from the airport taking him in town to drop off something and then returning him to the airport. Now all of this I agreed to do on a Monday morning…

Well, nothing went right this morning, I got up a little late and rushed out; was caught in a deadlock of traffic, my phone did not work, I  arrived late after the scheduled flight and had to circle the airport at least four times, until I finally realize my friend did not arrive on schedule.

I decided to go to the service station close to the airport, to see if I could have access to a phone in order to call to my friend, however it did not work…so I  did not have a clue whether the flight came in or not.

So, I returned to the airport for the fifth time and there was my friend, who politely walked over and said Bahamasair's flight was one hour late. Well, I shrugged that is pretty much a usual thing.

Now, while all of this happening, I know I was feeling a little bit bothered and frustrated but I grinned and bore it. Trust me, I felt a mood coming on but I pushed through it, smiling and nodding in our conversations. As now I have to head in town to do a drop off and turn around again to drop my friend off to catch his International Flight well over the agreed time.

I dropped off my friend in town to deliver something and as he got back in the car he gave me an envelope and I asked what it was…he said Oh, nothing.

Well, after a while I got curious and opened the envelope, it was two roundtrip vouchers for  Bahamas air Flight and two US 100 dollar bills. I was totally in shock and in awe and inside feeling little guilty because I so wanted to be upset because nothing began right for my Monday. So here I am contemplating whether or not if my attitude would have been different, if I would have been a recipient of this gift?

Perhaps, not!
Perhaps, if I had the wrong attitude, my friend and I would have probably been at each other's throat and I would have lost out on my blessing. And a blessing it was…

All I am trying to say is this, every now and then we have to will ourselves to being positive when we can go way into the negative. Every now and then we have to check our attitudes and make sure that we always place our best foot forward. Maybe we can be intentional in keeping a smile on our faces, cause we may never know what blessings await us…

ATTITUDE CHECK…SMILE!!!

A Soft Place to Land

There is a specific kind of silence that follows a blow from someone you love. It’s not the silence of peace; it’s the heavy, suffocating silence of a heart trying to process why the hands meant to hold it are the very ones trying to break it.    I write today because I need to breathe. I write because, if I don't, the weight of these burdens might just pull me under. The Pain of the Hidden Truth We’ve all been there. You look at the person you admire most, the one you’ve cheered for in every season, and you realize they are using their words not to build you up, but to cut you down. It is a staggering irony: those we honor often choose to meet us with dishonor. I’ve spent so many nights wondering why the people closest to us become our greatest battlefields instead of our safe harbors. We talk about faith, we speak of grace, and we acknowledge that none of us are perfect—but shouldn't time count for something? I hoped for maturity. I hoped they would see the "evol...

Love Your Own Way!

We all have an idea about what we want out of life! We may have plans specifically tailored for us, bit by bit, inch by inch, profile by profile. Our plans act as a guide or our mandate for what we want out of life and then life happens. We often settle because we conclude nothing and no one is perfect. Now although that is true, when it comes to love and life, my only recommendation is love your own way and hopefully you would find the right person loving you right back in their own way. Despite, what people may say or the rules on love and relationships, stick to your truth and love your way, wholly, purely, completely and as one of my favorite love songs says...Truly, Madly, Deeply!

To Long For...

O God, You  are  my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land- Where there is no water. -Psalm 63:1 What a privilege we have to wake up to see a brand new day? We often take our new days for granted because they are routined for us. We rise, we go about our scores of daily tasks and go to bed and rise again to do it all over the next day. How much of our day is spend in the Presence of the One who caused the sun to rise and glory over us or the moon to shine its light to light our nights? We get up to do our own conglomerate of important things. We get out our planners and and have conversations with ourselves, on what we will do today? But we just missed a moment of seeking God in the very stillness of the day. As soon as we rise, we are bombarded with raising our family, preparing and shuffling them off to school, cooking, cleaning and all the other household stuff  that we as human beings, mothe...
