The Art of Prayer

May everyone who receives this message be blessed. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost, just a lot of reward. Make sure you pray, and pray believing God will answer.

May today be all you need it to be. May the peace of God and the
freshness of the Holy Spirit restore your thoughts, rule in your dreams
tonight, and conquer all your fears. May God manifest Himself today in
ways you have never experienced. May your joys be fulfilled, your
dreams be closer, and your prayers be answered. I pray that faith enters
a new height for you; I pray that your territory is enlarged. I pray for
peace, healing, health, happiness, prosperity, joy, true and undying
love for God. Amen!

The Art of Living

On my train ride home this evening I came across a quote that brought about deep thoughts. "Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakes." - unknown

This caused me to think about how at times I've focused on others success' and often longed to be in their shoes. That was me dreaming. And I would often daydream of what it would be like if I could be exactly where that person was that I once idolized. Once I matured into my own self I learned to focus on my personal goals and compare less of what God has planned for another ones journey in life. I'm sure I'm not the only one guilty of this but it is important that we continue to live and discover our own purpose in life. Some things are out of our control but I have noticed that when I put my trust in the creator I go on living in faith. Prayers may not be answered immediately but the promises that we're given do arrive at the appointed time. I am more awake now than ever before.

The Art of the Storm

Today was not the best day for me. I had zero sales today which means no money made for the hours I put in when I started the day off with nearly $3,000 in returns. This is why I despise retail...returns do count against our productivity for the week mind you. I had no idea it was going to rain today so I did not bring an umbrella. What do you know, it rained and I had an appointment to get my hair cut. As I was not wearing proper shoes they got soaked and my feet were cold. While I was at the salon I got an email from the owner of a boutique that was interested in seeing my jewelry with the possibility of selling my line stating they were happy that I shared my collection with them but did not find a place for it in their store right now. What a bummer. Oh well, you win some and you lose some. On my way home the trains were delayed I was hungry and just could not wait to get in my comfort zone. On my way home I looked up and there was one simple word that made me snap out of my funky rut....Pray. It's just that simple. Someone had wrote pray on one of the signs on the train and I see it as a message from God telling me what I really need to do on days like this to remain calm, patient and faithful literally in the mist of the storm.
