Having quiet time makes me a better person. I am centered, rested, and clear. I am rejuvenated, in all areas of my life. I am a centered being. I enjoy my life. I care for myself without guilt or punishment.  I am authentic to who I am as a person. I enjoy quiet solitude. I am not afraid to assess areas of imbalance in my life, or celebrate areas of strengthen.  My mood is centered. My decision-making is solid. My relationships are healthy. Furthermore, my spiritual practices are in motion. I assess, adjust, and realign. I love, and care for others, as I love, and care for myself first. I enjoy taking care of myself. Self-care is essential to my well-being.  I am one with myself. I am a living vessel not just alive. I am a good person beyond accolades, commodities, and accomishments. I am well rounded, and focused. I am relaxed, and calm. I am vertically aligned with God. I reflect and practice forward thinking. I am moving forward. I am making daily progress....

Does Quiet Time Really Work? Let me just say this, I'm better off, because of moments of quiet time. I'm surprised that some people feel there's no use for quiet time. WOWZERS. Really?👀🙃 Having periodic moments throughout your day or week help re-center your thoughts. It's vital to have a clear mental space free from  disturbances or distractions. Moments of reflection and centered breathing enhances your clarity, mobility, and flexibility. They help relieve stress, anxiety, frustration, and exhaustion.  Our bodies function better when we are clear, balanced, well nourished, and well rested. Have you ever seen someone who's never rested or relaxed versus someone who is? There's a huge difference in their moods, appearance, and clarity of thought.  Now, I'm not condoning laziness. Laziness is a sin. Taking a day to rejuvenate your spirit, soul and body is different than doing nothing at all, all day and everyday. Furthermore, I'm not...

My life is pleasant. I take strides in doing what's right. It's not about being a perfect Christian for me, but rather honoring God with my decisions and the way that I live. Everyone's facing challenges. Therefore, I refuse to panic or feel overwhelmed. God is with me. He will help me, and lead me to victory through life's journey.  I'm growing daily in my relationship with God. I take time to listen to good advice. Therefore, I'm maturing each day. My life is improving daily. I will walk away from sin, but I refuse to walk away from God. I'm building mental and emotional fortitude to stay the course and to remain strong in my faith in God.  Lord, help me to refrain from what's wrong. Lead me in the path of life. Bless every area of my life, oh God, as I trust you and walk in your ways. This I pray and affirm, in Jesus name. Amen. Rashea@LLO2 Academy

Is the Right Way Really Hard? Let me just say this, life itself can be difficult. However, not always difficult. Life can, also be pleasant.  People have this stigma built into their minds that Christianity and doing what's right is hard. But after being a Christian for well over 20 years, I can tell you that being a Christian is a really good life. What people don't like to admit is everyone, whether they are a Christian or non-Christian, are facing challenges to some degree. Am I right or wrong? Christianity will save your soul. That's the epiphany! That's the big picture. That's the sum of the gospel of grace and faith in Jesus.  Let's go deeper into this analogy that doing what is right is hard.  What is hard? What does it mean? Okay, maybe doing what's right is difficult, because it requires thinking through your thoughts and decisions before you take action. Maybe doing what is right is complicated, because it requires self-control rather t...
