Evolve

In our life it is necessary to evolve from one phase to another.  Evolving is a process that does not happen overnight, but happens over time.  Timing is the essential element that is misunderstood in this type of process.  Many times, we think that, the process of evolving is not taking place and the results are not seen. We must understand that time is in charge, and time has its own role within the evolving process.  When things are evolving, not own does time comes into play, attitude is essential to making the process easy and the results acceptable, first to us and then to the world.  It is important that we embrace those things in our life that are changing and make the best of them as we continue to evolve.   

We must understand that things must change and that nothing remains the same.  Accepting this statement is paramount, and it is the first step to understand why evolving is so necessary in our life.  If we would remain the same and never evolve, we would never see how great and excellent we are, as we embrace challenges in our life and still overcome. 

It is important that every event has a great outcome and will bring us to a greater level of excellence as we continue to evolve.  Events are use to help us evolve into the person that we should be, by teaching us integrity  and giving us strength as well as, fortifying us for a greater work.

 It is ok to evolve and keep evolving, as long as you embrace and understand the process will work in your favor, all because of the greatness inside of you will help you in this process. Evolve into your Greatness and walk into your destiny!!  

Destiny Is Calling!!!

When we talk about destiny we first must have a definition of what it is.  Webster defines it such as: destiny is the predetermined stated or conditions foreordain by the Divine or human will. 

 

The only way that we can understand destiny is to embrace the plan that has been set in place for a divine purpose.  Many people try to rearrange events and things to accomplish a certain result that they think is meant for their destiny.  In order to understand your destiny you must first understand that your destiny was set in place before you arrive on this earth plane. In other words predetermined or foreordain.   

 

According to the scripture in Jer: (29:11), it said “For I know the plan that I have for you said the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for calamity to you a future and a hope.” When we began to embrace the fact that there is a plan for your life and we must follow that plan in order to reach the future that has been designed for me we will always feel lost or have no directions. 

 

Destiny is a powerful word that has many faucets to it and several processes to accomplish the desired result that has been predetermined for us.  Each person’s destiny is unique but yet works in concert with the plan concerning life and success.  The destiny that has be designed for my life is connected to the destiny that is for someone else life.  This is true when we meet people of different background or different careers even of different faith only to learn and connect to for the purpose of reaching our destiny.  We must understand that this is why we build relationship for the better good of our destiny. We need each other for those things that will help us move forward toward our future.  It so important that we value each other experiences in this life, because it will help us develop those principles and moral that will enhance our journey.  We can learn from each other things that we should do and things that we shouldn’t do.  There are some people who have been where you are or on your way to that can help you avoid some of the pitfall of that journey.

 

When we refuse to walk the path that has been predetermine for us, we will prolong the process or divert the process into something other than what we are called to do.  Destiny is a calling and you must answer the call in order to enjoy the richness of your future.  

My encouragement to you is to listen to the call that destiny is making and don’t be afraid to answer. It will take you places that you thought you would never see or even enjoy at this point in life.  Although it comes with great sacrifice it still will speak in it appointed time.

Answer the call, destiny is calling!!!!!

What is a Cancer Survivor?

What determines whether a person has survived cancer? 

That was a serious question. Member and sponsors have often asked us how we define the term "cancer survivor." We define a survivor as anyone who has lived one second past the moment of diagnosis.

After you are diagnosed with cancer, every moment of your life can center around survival. That is why - every moment of life you experience post-diagnosis is a moment of life as a breast cancer survivor.

Each week, we like to feature of the story of a profound breast cancer survivor that we've either met or read about. This week, we read a touching story about a woman who has overcome -- survived beyond her diagnosis. She is the aunt of the popular St. Louis blogger, Danyelle Little (Code Name: The Cubicle Chick).

Here's an excerpt from Danyelle's blog where she shares more about her aunt's journey:

"Cancer is an illness that conquers many people, my Aunt included. Last year, on her birthday, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. This sentence is usually enough to debilitate and turn one’s life upside down, but for my Aunt, she decided she wasn’t going to let cancer invade her without a fight..."

One of the key characteristics of a breast cancer survivor is the ability to smile in the face of adversity. Danyelle's aunt has certainly exhibited the resiliency of her spirit to fight back against the condition that claims the lives of so many each day.

You can be just like her. You can make a commitment to live each day as a survivor and not allow your breast cancer diagnosis to break your spirits. In the words of gospel duo, Mary Mary, you cried your "last tear, YESTERDAY!"
