Alicia Keys never disappoints her fans with her inspirational songs!

Keys recently released her 5 solo album entitled 'Girl on Fire', which debuted number 1 on the Billboard charts. A favorite cut of mine off of the album is a Brand New Me, Spilling lines like:

"Careful with your ego, he’s the one that we should blame
Had to grab my heart back
God know something had to change
I thought that you’d be happy
I found the one thing I need, why you mad
It’s just the brand new kind of me"

Proud of who she has become, this song touches everyone who has been through life changes and have peace with who they have become. How does this song make you feel?

Joel Osteen Wisdom

“When you reach out to hurting people, that’s when God is going to make sure your needs are supplied. When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance.”

Purpose and Power

Looking back on my own personal situations and experiences, it seems as though everything happened hectically. As though I would jump from one situation to another in a flash without a valid reason of doing so. I found myself questioning the course of my life and where I was going. 

And we know that all things work together for the good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Roman 8:28).

Although it may seem that your life is void of direction, and it may seem that the God that you give your praise to is not paying you any mind, I want you to keep this in mind. . .

ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THE LORD. 

What this means is there is purpose in your struggle. There is purpose for the turmoil. It just may be to build foundation of your character, to build you and fill you up with poise and power so that when you do have your break through and the blessings just won't seem to stop, you will have no problems to cut off any ungodly ties that may have been formed. 

In the good words of The Great Bishop T.D. Jakes, "Call on the Lord and he will answer you. Go Ahead. Dont be afraid. Ask him, Lord why?"

HELP YOURSELF!

Everyone affects our lives. Lets be careful who we let in our circle. Feelings are contagious. Emotions are contagious. The way we look at life is contagious. Walking around aimlessly feeling down about your worries does not and will not help your situation. Feeling bad for yourself or thinking that if you were given more things (Money, rich parents, better jobs) that it would help your situation because it most certainly wouldn't. Sure it may seem like those people who have that are more comfortable, but the grass is always greener on the other side. Or at least that's what they say, I sure would like to find out! Haha..The only thing that will help is your faith.

FAITH FAITH FAITH.!

Faith that you did not get that job, or you didn't get that raise or even that big break YET all happened for a reason.

Our heavenly father has a purpose in our lives and it is our job to seek him. The kingdom will be opened up to us when we bow down, sit, and wait. 

Know that everything happens for a reason and that there is a bigger purpose for your life that you don't even know yet.

All will be revealed when the time is right. 

As long as you believe that, and believe in his power and that he is GOD, then and only then will our dreams be achieved and our self purpose will be fulfilled even higher than we can possibly dream.

Stay blessed and stuff!
