I was rather suprised with the many definitions of the word. It is good to be passionate about something, it makes you feel alive, it gives you hope, however it should not overtake you that , if you become obessessed about your passion. It becomes an Idol. That is why when you doing what you love, call in God to help and bless you with it, so it can glorify his name.

Our God loves creatiion and he loves people to express themselves with his creative gifts, when you both creation, together, you are in a different wave length, the impossible becomes possible, take a man like George Washington Carver, who was an inventor,

The passion I am referring to is the definition in number 6, if a person is passionate about music, or writing, or mathematics, the science of whatever. Most people's passion starts when they are very young, they may write or draw, or do what they love doing for hours at a time, and if it a something, they are talented like drawing, or chess playing, writing, poetry. They should be encouraged, if you always wanted to write or develop a craft or whatever go for it. You have nothing to lose and you are probably bringing out your God given talent.

All talent comes from God and many times, when you start to follow your passion, you find that you release several other hidden talents you didn't know you have. Age has nothing to do with it. Due to circumstances, because you may not have been able to start your talent, when you were a young person, but you have got a chance as an older person, go for it.

The thing with a passion, you have to protect it like an egg and tell only people who really can see you doing something like being a writer, or over the age of 40 going to medical school, or being a doctor, lawyer or interior designer or whatever. As long as you are alive, it is never too late, because you have this passion, you have to hang around with visionaires and dreamers.
Even though they may have a different dream from you, you can encourage each other.

Napoleon Hill talked about having a mastermind group in 'The Science of Personal Achievement'
CS Lewis and JRR Tolkein, were both lecturers at Oxford and would encourage each other when they were writing. CS Lewis was the author of 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and JRR Tolkein the author of books, such as 'The Hobbit, and Lord of the Rings and they both wrote many other books.

God is God all by himselfand yet he has a network of angels. There are the nine choir of angels. Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Powers, Virtues, Principalities, Archangels and Angels.

Angels of the north, south, east and west, angels of dawn, midday, evening and midnight, angels of spring, summer, autumn and winter, angels of war, (especially as you are fighting the good fight. When Joshua and the children of Israel fought their enemies, Joshua 10:10 - 14 angels were involved sending down hailstones. and they were involved in the sun not raising and the moon also not raising, hence that was the only time, they got an extra day and that is recorded in history, so it is a fact. God send down his angel in 2 Kings 19:35 and he killed a lot of Ayssyrians, one hundred, fourscore and five thousand. God send an angel to protect the children of Israel, during when they were leaving Egypt. Exodus14: 21-22, Psalm 91:11-12, by the authority of Jesus Christ, you can send them to get your money, or bring the right people to you, protect you and your household from any danger.

Even when there were storms in Kanasis, a man summoured his angels to protect his house and when the wind blow, his house was fine, while the others were badly to extremely damaged. As part of your covenant, you have protection, prosperity, good health, sound mind, peace, have dominion over challenges and restoration.

So there are angels of protection, your own guardian angel, angels of days of the week, months of the year, angels of music, dancing, singing, surgeons, lawyers, doctors, writers, communication, interior designers. birth, death, the home, finance, money, saving, bank accounts, heritance, trust funds, fishing, agriculture, water, earth, wind, fire, sports, determination, artists, painters, party (entertainment), gatherings, woods, trees, rivers, looking after the planet, horticulture, architectures, beautiful treatments, buildings, angel who are look after countries. Archangel Michael protects Israel. Patron saint of England is St George, patron saint of Wales is St David, Scotland is St Andrew and Ireland is St Patrick. Michael and all these men have one thing in common, battling evil. Champions of the right and the good.

God's angels cover every aspect of our lives, he has a whole network of them, Psalm 103: 20, in Acts 8 : 25 - 40, an angel took Philip to the Ethiopian officer in Queen Candace court, Acts 12: 7-8, the angel delivered Peter from prison, Acts 16:25 -26, God sent an angel for Paul and Silas released their chains. In Hebrews 1:13 -14, they are ministering spirits sent to us to help us, as we are heirs of salvation. Estimation of God's angels, very from several billions to a trillions. So he had got an extremely network and extremely is very conserve word. So we can say, God is the ultimate networker.

Even when Jesus lived on earth, he had his 12 twelve disciples, plus there was the inner four, Simon Peter, John, Andrew and James, and there were the 72 disciple, he sent out, plus the ladies, Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus and his mother, Luke 8: 2 -3, they organised the meals, and his apppointments. Jesus's ministry was very well organised. Some of his disciples were married and had families of their own, some were single. Jesus had an accountant, which was Judas, estimation of people who Jesus looked after was at least thousand or more. Peter travelled with his wife, when he was preaching after Jesus ascended to heaven and he built up a network of followers. After Jesus was ressurected, over 500 people saw him and he thought the gospel for a month, before he went to heaven.

Now with Paul, even though he was chained to the Roman solidiers, he converted many of them, they protected him from hostile crowds, because he was a Roman citizen. He spent many times in jail, the jailers, and the prisoners, they converted to Christianity. Lydia, the businesswoman, she was one of his supporters and I'm sure, she also influenced a lot of her customers.

Long hair lovers, long hair care forum, or keep it simple sista, facebook, twitter and the various meet up groups or the national romantic writers association, are examples of forums, network of people who have the same interests, whether it be long hair, growing your hair long, or whether you are communicating on facebook or twitter, emails, blogging, writing romantic fiction, or whatever your interest is. You can talk to each other, swap ideas and keep each other focused, so that you can achieve your goals. So if you have friends or families, who do not share your visions or dreams, you need to be with people who do, if you don't they will kill your dreams, because of their own limiting beliefs. If you want to be successful in anything you do, you must be with successful people who have already achieved success or be with people who want success and they are as hungry as you are.

So networking, meeting up, are all important, if you have a dream, you write it down and you can run with it, until you achieve it.

Spring Fever

Spring is the season of year, which represents renewal, growth, rebirth, new beginnings, and enterprises, people fall in love. Religious festivals at this time of year such as Mothering Sunday, or Mother's Day, Passover, Ressurection or Easter, Penticost.

There are the familiar sweets available, such as Easter eggs. I have always wondered why in the middle of the New Year, the shops are stocking up with Easter Eggs and each year the eggs seem to be more elaborate.

From church, last Sunday, my daughter and I went out and we saw an Easter egg for £70.00, but of course, it was made from the finest chocolate, organic and it looked very nice and I wondered if I would spend £70.00 on an Easter egg, I don't think so, too much money and I would definitely spend that money on a new handbag or shoes and good luck to the person who does.

One thing, being with God, any time, day, can be your season, so you don't have to wait until March 21st, to be renewed.

Psalm 1:3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Psalm 23:2
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Psalm 92:12 -14
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing.

Isaiah 58:11
And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones; and thou shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

So with these promises, we can still make corrects, learn for our mistakes and if we are teachable, be the very best we can and be successful in whatever we put our minds to.

How do we view ourselves?

In the light of the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation. I decided to write this blog. How do we black woman view ourselves, as royal princesses or ghetto princesses. I have put images of hip hop video princess and princess. I have images of African princesses and fictional princesses from Disney, such as Jasmine, Belle, Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White and Ariel. African American Belle and the new African American princess Tiana and a picture of Rihanna, who was or still is a pop princess. However, she seemed to have lost her crown, on the light of what happened with Chris Brown, and her violent attack.

When I read it first, I could not believe it and the more I read, I was just horrified and the abuse from many black people, I was absolutely shocked how many blogs and forums blamed her for the action. 'She must have done something to him'. Then articles were written that because she beat up her brother when she was younger, it was her fault, she gave him herpes. She deserved it because she is from Barbados and as one young person put it, they don't like the accent. One of my younger cousins visited me and she said that she must have provoked him and I have to put it straight to her. I told her if she came home and someone beat up her mother like that, would she say she deserved it. She reminded very quiet.

Rihanna is six months older than my daughter and I would be horrified if anyone did that to my child. When Rihanna started to date Chris Brown, I had this sinking feeling. There was a English footballer, who beat up his fiancee and the media was so supportive of her, but with Rihanna, there was very little support and this got me thinking. It seems that with polite black educated women, there is a significant amount from the black community want to challenge their blackness.

We don't like graceful beautiful black women. There are elements who want to destroy them, yet we don't have a problem with graceful beautiful women from other races. We want every black women to behave like ghetto or fish market women and when they don't behave like that, we get angry and challenge them. However with black men, we have the whole community fighting for them, whether they be good, bad or indifferent, but where is the fight for black women.

The conclusion, I have come to realise is that only Elohim, who loves us and no-one else and therefore we were the original queens and we must never forget it and we must love ourselves, we were created in the image of Elohim and we must never forget and look for scriptures, such as in Esther and Songs of Solomon. 'I am black and comely', I am fearfully and wonderfully made'.

Remember that we are the apple of God's eye. It does not matter what anyone thinks and long as you follow your God given talent, he can express himself through you.

You ask for guidance and he is there for you. If you are not at a church, or a gathering, go to institutions where are more spiritually based and are followers of the word of God, institutions who teach the bible properly, not institutions where pastor says, tells you rubbish, you must read the bible for yourself and everything, prosperity in all aspects of your life is for you. Whatever nationality your husband is and you choose to marry him and as long as he believes that Jesus Christ died on the cross and he is a good man, he is the man of your dreams, marry him and forgot what the 'so-called community tell you, if they call you a sell out, yes you are a sell-out to Jesus, they are sell-out to Satan.

Accept nothing but the best, because God gave his son and he was the best. If a man cannot treat you like a queen, he is not worthy of you. If he can't buy you flowers or he makes an excuse, it's not his thing. Show him the door, because you are not worthy in your eyes. There are plenty of men, who are willing to adore you and treat you like a queen. They are real men, not other men who are really boys pretending to be men.

The Day the Snow came

Our Snow started on Sunday 1st February evening, it continued until in was Monday morning. There were no transport running, the buses and the trains were not running. The councils didn't grit the pavements or the main roads and the government said as usual, we don't get this type of snow, however it snowed earlier in January and maybe not as thick, but other parts of the country had a lot of it. So in London, we got it. People didn't go to work, the schools were closed and children, young and old and I am including adults like myself and daughter had fun!!. We went to the park, we took pictures, and the park was fun and snow people were made, giant snow and woman. men. women and children were busy making things with the snow.

The goverment complained that the day off work cost the economy billions of money, the recession would deepen even further. People still continued to have fun. Teenage boys and young men were planning who they were going to ambush, battle lines at the ready and teenage girls were with their dogs sliding on the ice and dogs were positively excited also. Despite the destruption to traffic, we all praised God for the snow and asked him to send us some more.

Framing your world with your words

It is very important to say the right things concerning our world. Books such as 'The Secret' is based on the Law of Attraction, which is based on God's requirement for us to carefully choose our words concerning our life. Our words have to lie with God's words and God's thinking.

Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

Proverbs 10:14 Wise men lay up knowledge but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

James 3:2-6 James talks about our words, particularly in verse 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it set on fire of hell.

Psalms 103:20 Bless ye the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

So the angels are waiting to do God's commandments and also our commandments, so you say. 'I am always in debt' and you will probably end up always in debt. However if you are in debt and say 'Wealth and riches are in my house', so mediate on the word and you go to bed thinking of wealth and riches being in your house, you will eventually get relevation and you will have wealth and riches in your house.

When God had his own problems, when the world was not like he wanted it. He said 'Let there be light'. He didn't say 'Oh No, it just so dark and there is not light anywhere'In Romans 4:17 b....we can 'calleth those things which are not as though they were'.

And Jesus said in Mark 11: 24 'Therefore I say unto you. What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them'

If you go on google, find out about a man called Neville Goddard, some of his teachings are on youtube and he is very good, also try and get a recording of the art of imagination, it will change your way of thinking.

New Year New Beginnings

Seasonal Greetings and Happy New Year

It's a new year and a new beginning.

I love the ringing in of the New Year, because I always feel that you can have another chance. The time does change, but you have the same 24 hours, in a day to make a difference and once you are alive, all is not lost. It is nice to be back again. I needed to spend some time on my home, we are in deep decoration mode, we are still throwing out a lot of rubbish, which was cluttering up our lives and sometimes it is hard to let go, but they are like fig trees in your life, they produce nothing but rubbish. I believe that your circumstances are subject to change, many times we forget that, but it is the truth. We can all the right circumstances, the people, abundance or whatever we need into our life, favour of the right people is so important, with the right people, you get the right connections and you are always in the right place at the right time.

Psalm 5:12: For Thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Putting my house in order

I am putting my own house in order, so I would not be blogging for awhile. I have sent for and received Sharp bedrooms, Moben kitchens and Dolphin bathrooms brochures, looked on websites for sash windows, loft and basement information, getting planning permission. There was a church conference with the likes of TD Jakes, Bill Winston, Tudor Bismark, Junita Byrum, and many others which started on Sunday 24th August to Sunday 30th August, but I will not attend, because I have to put my own house in order. Charity begins at home. So I have removed old bedding, smashed up old furniture, old televisions, threw out old carpets, cleaned, scrubbed, polished and I am still cleaning and looking at more things to throwing out the old, which are like fig trees in my life. I even throw out some things at 12.30 a.m in the early hours in the morning. It had to go. As you say, I am in the middle of de-cluttering my house, my life and me.
Deuteronomy 6:11-12 And houses full of all good things, which thou fillest not and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shall have eaten and be full;

Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

My version Dear Lord El Shadda, according to your words : Deuteronomy 6:11-12. I thank you, that I am able to fill my house and my other house, which I will get in the future, with all good things, the sharp bedrooms, the mobed kitchens, dolphin bathrooms, the loft and basement being done and have my fridge and wardrobes stocked with all good things to eat and wear and the money to pay for the very best.

I thank you Lord, that I can think big and you have brought me out of a poverty mindset. I thank you for being my Jehovah Jireh and providing me with all these things and more, in Jesus Name Amen.
