You don't have to take it...

When people pronounce negative words into your life, you don't have to take it...
You can't change what they say about you but you sure can control what goes into you...the choice is yours...
when you know who you are...(in Christ) and the fact that you're secure in His love...it really doesn't matter...
...As a matter of fact, that is their opinion and they are entitled to it...
In the scheme of what God thinks about you,it is a minute and inconsequential issue...Chin Up!!!



Saw one of my old journals and decided to put one of them up.... I guess different people have their reasons for journaling...I journal if I'm feeling low,very high,encouraged,inspired,motivated....in summary...I journal whenever,however,wherever....
...I was probably spoken to with a negative tone or I overheard some one use negative tones to talk to another...

But the truth is...the choice is yours...YOU really DON'T have to take it!!!

A curse that sticks on you, was provoked….. prov. 26:2

where Jesus is... Negative words will NEVER come to pass, but Prophesies of dry bones will live.

therefore, people can say whatever they want to say, but I Know that nothing they say will stick to me..

thanks for ths post.

Definitely! There is power in the tongue and when neg. words are said, one can reverse it.

And i can not be cursed if God has not cursed me!

You are right... the choice is always mine... it is difficult, very difficult at times... but it is always my choice!

In the final analysis, it is never between you and anybody. It is between you and God. He should be your standard.

never allow someone saying negative things about you to have the final say even if you have to reject everything silently in your mind.

I usually "reject" negative statements...(it could even be from people I consider precious to me, yet if their statements do not seat right with me...I have learned to simply reject them, seriously!).

Love this journal post...:)

@Qmoney...the journals are safely kept where prying eyes won't have access to it!!!!:-)

@FFF...I am honestly proud of you!...some people hear hurtful words from their parents and allow it to shape their lives negatively(stumbling block)...you took the same hurtful words and made it a stepping stone for you...now that is what I call inspiring!!!

@Aphrodite...exactly!

@Jaycee...Yes o!!!...I do that as well...I don't care where or who the word is coming from...if it is not acceptable...I totally reject it...not necessarily verbally but I still reject it sha!

@ Laspapi...Thanks for stopping by my blog!

@Buttercup...way to go girl...hope you got my mail!

@Tommeh...true that...we all hear negative stuffs once in a while whether we like it or not...but the choice is still ours...to take or not to take..

You're not a tree... make that move!

Follow me @Nolimit2life How many times have you told yourself at the beginning of the year that things just have to change? I am so guilty of this! But no more, if it needs to be fixed, then I'm going to do just that, fix it! Todays 3six5woman post is about someone who decided to make that move! I really hope you get inspired to not just accept the status-quo but give yourself a chance!  Yes You Can! Photo Credit:  http://www.deviantart.com/

Re: In The Name of All Things Men.

Was stuck on the train in the middle of no where for a while...national rail can like to get their acts together!What better time to write/type than then:) Here are the random thoughts that came to me based on Vera's radio show...but before then, enjoy this track... Don't blame the men for the lies,blame the women who will swallow any lie so long as it makes them look good...don't blame the women,blame the men who put them in that state. Personally I'm of the opinion that a strong onus is on the woman to decide not to be stupid...we are nuturing and very kind...a guy will take you on a ride if he knows he can get away with murder where he's concerned in your life. Sometimes we love the idea of being in love than love itself...it isn't about how you feel,if it was about feeling then I should have killed by now.Reminds me of the time my friend asked me "how can something that feels so good be so wrong"...the act is not wrong darling it is the timing tha...

Judging A Book By It's Cover

Sometimes we meet people and assess them based on their outward appearance...to our own detriment!!! Yes our own detriment because this act in it's self is absolutely unwise..."pun intended"!!! Yours truly is guilty of this from time to time...We sometimes have the tendency to want to box people into compartments we've created for them in our minds... So a guy who's trousers refuses to cooperate with the force of gravity(lol) is not cool and when a girl wears a scandalous outfit, that makes her a slut.... Gibberish I say!!! Absolute nonsense...it does not work that way...trust me, I should know... A recent global case is that of the beautiful singer Susan Boyle ...I watched the clip on You Tube and when she said she wanted to be as famous as a well known singer,everyone right down to the judges snickered at her and thought she was just another joker...when she opened her mouth to sing, she became a HIT at the cute age of 47!!!(Another blog topic for another day......
