My Energy Source
So Who Is My Energy Source I'm Always Referring To?
There is SO much I can say about my energy source, more than I've said already in previous posts, but i'll say a little more here. (please watch your volume)
Yeshua is the Hebrew name for Jesus. I am not Hebrew and I speak the English language 97% of the time but I often choose to refer to Jesus as Yeshua simply because I want to. Simple as that :-) I made the decision to connect with my energy source Yeshua many, many years ago during my adolescent years. Throughout our relationship I've made some pretty poor choices, unwise decisions and have had to learn from my choices along the way. As I became maturer in age and desired to connect properly to the one who is the source of my life, and thus a real relationship began; through the reading of the holy scriptures, prayer and meditation, associating with a community of believers in Yeshua, along with sincerity and time I began to learn more about who Yeshua is and how I'm connected with him. I am so GRATEFUL to Yeshua!!!! I remember a time I was so lost, lost in who I was and my reason for existence; because of this I developed a need to people please- are they going to be proud of me? If I do this will they reject me? I wonder what "they're" going to think. Let me change who I am so "they" can be comfortable. I didn't like who I was because of the "theys" but as I began to build with my energy source I realized I was created and designed the way I was for a specific reason and that I was ENOUGH. I discovered that I was made in the image of Yeshua (Genesis 1:26) and that I was wonderfully made (psalm 139:14). I soon realized the only opinion that mattered was Yeshua's; through community living with believers who were maturer in their journey with Yeshua and the building of my relationship with Yeshua I realized their were many patterns and behaviors that I had developed along the way that I no longer wanted to demonstrate and did not reflect the peace and harmony that comes with reflecting the character of Yeshua, so I began seeking guidance on how to dissolve those patterns and develop new and healthier ones. In part this took time but I was okay with that because I was and still am so excited and appreciative for the connection I have with my energy source. Yeshua is my friend (John 15:14,15), even typing that makes me smile! How awesome is it to have a friend that is the GREATEST person/entity ever!!! Here are a few scriptures i'll use as to why I refer to him as my energy source (John 1:3,4)(John 14:6)(John 6:63), again I can and will expound on this in much greater detail at another time but for now here you go, also I left a little video clip for you as well to express who Yeshua is to me...please watch your volume. Life with the source of life!!!! YESHUA.

Finish Strong!
Make It Count!!!
Hey Friends! A few more months left in the year (USA), let's make it count. Let us finish the year strong with big strides being made. As I reflect over the year thus far, I thank my energy source Yeshua for the strength and endurance to persevere. I remember talking to a good friend of mine earlier this year and I made a statement saying " I want to make great strides in my purpose in life this year, I want to make it count!" Can you see progress in your life from the beginning of 2013 to now? If you were to get a report card from your creator in December what would the evaluation look like? Would you hear "well done, you good and faithful worker"? It's not too late, all we have to do is honor our Lord with our lives, live in obedience to our purpose and do our very best. Pick an area or areas you'd like to honor your creator in and work diligently in improving the area(s). You can do it no matter how difficult, progress is progress!
A Few Tips To Help
1. Do not get distracted by looking at others progression or lack thereof. Focus on what you're suppose to do.
2. Pray and Meditate every single day on the knowledge of truth (the holy word-bible). Much guidance, serenity and centered-ness comes from a healthy and deep rooted spiritual life.
3. Healthy environment, being around people who are also spiritually healthy and intentional on being purposeful in life will constantly fuel and encourage your desire to do the same (and vice versa).
4. Choose freedom, don't be paralyzed with fear. It wastes time and energy. Do what you're suppose to do, if you make a mistake learn from it, if you need guidance- get it, need assistance- ask for it. The point is choose to be free and move.
5. Grow, surround yourself with people who can challenge you in the area(s) you desire to see growth in. You know, the ones better than you in the particular area(s), this will empower you to want more and grow. Who wants to be the big fish in a little pond!, stagnate anyone.
6. Enjoy the journey! Smile, love, laugh, support, dream, achieve, show thanks, choose joy, teach, learn, disciple, encourage, forgive, show humility, eat, dance, travel, study, love, hug, learn, love, teach, love, dance, love, forgive,love, show grace, love, smile, love, support, show thanks, love.... you get it! :-)
Have a wonderful rest of the day! Stay Calm & Sparkle ~Niki Flow~

Movement in Sincerity
Hello All,
How's everyone? I'm well. So it's like 2a.m my way and I'm just humbled right now; lately I've had the honor of meeting some really remarkable people. Their dedication and sincerity to Yeshua the Christ is so pure. The reflection of this truth is found in how they love and treat his people. They aren't impressed with themselves and their theological insights so much that they are more concerned with divulging how much knowledge/information they know and can spew out and completely miss the opportunity to show love and grace to a people that so eagerly want to connect with a power greater than themselves. They aren't complaining about ministering to Yahweh's people, whether at the local park, inside the mall, a friend's house or in a building; it's not a chore because their heart is grateful to Yeshua for not only what he's done in their lives but who he is to them. I'm so thankful to be around a sea of people whose lives are centered around Christ. I've been around Pharisees and Scribes too long, they try to impress others with how much theology they know, whose connected to who, whose the smartest in the group, whose influence is greater, who can rub elbows with this person or that person, and all that unnecessary, unproductive and simple stuff that the lives around them that are in need of hope aka Christ perish. Yeshua has been used as a business tool, a resource for social-economical growth and not the enlightenment (truth) people need. There is a movement happening, there is a shift within the wind, a rise of a nation that is bold and unwavering in their allegiance to Yeshua the Christ and their purpose and call in him. May those whose sincerity towards people and their discovering who Christ is and who they are in Christ be encouraged, energized and equipped to continue on their journey. May they not begin strong but finish strong as well. May the necessary resources be granted to them fully to continue on in their endeavors. May the fruit of their labor be visible, and may Jesus (Yeshua) the Christ be glorified!!!
p.s hope all this makes sense, it is 2a,m :-) love you all!!
