Romans 12:2Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Often when I speak with people, I am usually highly animated with a variety of simple sayings or lil word play creations I just make up. One of my commonly used sayings is "You CAN'T CHANGE! YOU EITHER START or STOP something in your LIFE!" I picked this from an AA meeting listening to an older person who knew the drill about being a more productive person. I am inspired to write this morning after talking to my mother who rushed herself to the Emergency Room last night in Kansas City. So independent didn't bother to call a soul! ha ha then texted me! She crazy! Anyway lets dig into todays topic inspired by a conversation with Mama- Change Vs. Transformation.
As Donna and I are talking (I don't call her that but you can) she started rapid firing off verses, that's what she do! Jeopardy Queen -Bible Version! I spoke about a friend who is accomplished, successful and has achieved a long term career goal, BUT SHE MAD! My friend called and said "I can't even enjoy it! I'M FAT!" Now this friend and I have gone back n forth with different ideas to get her going and lose some weight etc etc, but the changes she wants and can well achieve, CAN ALL BE CHANGED RIGHT BACK!!! In starting a walk, journey or getting into your goals you must first start and with that start BELIEVE IN THE TRANSFORMATION not a body change but a RENEWING of the MIND! A renewing of ones mind goes back to me saying that starting some new things while stopping some bad things must take place. Anyone can lose weight but not every person can truly transform into a new train of thought or thinking process. They want to be stuck, defeated and then blame something else on why they aren't getting CONSISTENT RESULTS for the damn near impossible TRANSFORMATION. Mom said you have SHORT & LONG TERM GOALS and then you HAVE THE IMPOSSIBLE GOAL!!! You and I Both want the IMPOSSIBLE!!! *and we also know that with GOD all things are possible. The beautiful thing about setting these impossible goals is because that SHORT & LONG TERM GOAL is easy to achieve for some folks they say I'm gonna be an Engineer or Doctor and for some every tool they need to get that achieved is right there and the obstacles hurdled to get there have been simple jumps but on the back end somewhere in their life THE ARE WEAK WILLED! They can't..... that right their weakness is what they desire to be TRANSFORMED. I'll have to revisit this and go a bit deeper from what was shared to me. But I'll leave on this once that caterpillar TRANSFORMS into a butterfly it's NEW! and can't never go back and I'm sure it wouldn't want to! Now that it can fly! So take on the I can do the IMPOSSIBLE MENTALITY and KICK SOME ASS TODAY!!!!
12 But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat theron: and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side: and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
The spirit of weakness and light weight laziness over came me today, as it gently wrapped its character over my body it seeped into my spirit and mind and YES I felt DEFEATED!!! For No reason at ALL! Unexplained SH*TTYness! The trick was done subtly there was no sadness or horrible situations at my door knocking, it was like waking up to a foggy morning it was just there and I refused to even turn my one headlights on!
I am thankful for having a day of celebration and friends across the country. Today I was called a leader after I made a post about not wanting to get up and go get some at the gym, BUT I AM WEAK I am thinking to myself and thats when it hit me! YOU CAN BE WEAK!!!! There's nothing wrong with having HEAVY moments or feelings of WEAKNESS- WE ARE HUMAN with 1,000 EMOTIONS and CHARACTERS! I texted my Pastor and asked him for the verse of Moses and his moment of weakness while the right hands were available to keep his ARMS lifted with the tasks at hand. The right people are there for you in these times, make yourself available to receive the proper motivation. It's a simple comment at times, a call or even someone in need of the LITTLE STRENGTH YOU HAVE LEFT!!!!! And you give it up!!!! Sacrificing it all for the tasks you are called to do! There's so many stories in my day but for once I will keep them close to me only because GOD isn't finished and I had to at least get up and realize it was a new day and a new task that needed to be accomplished and it won't be overnight!
Remember your 3 main components of BODY SPIRIT & MIND are under all sorts of attack. So keep on checking on them to keep them in proper running function to be the best YOU daily!
