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!!

Life Begins!

And Then.....

Hello all. I hope you're doing well. It's been such a busy time for me!! How about for you all? This is going to be a short post today (I think... :-). Also, if you're in a public place watch your volume bc the song in the video clip may be loud in your speakers.... So, I am excited to share a little with you all with what's going on my way; but not yet... but soon though. I am SO SO grateful to my energy source -Yeshua for life!!! I am always  reminded of his grace, his love and his truth!!! Having a healthy and intimate relationship with him is far more valuable than anything tangible I could earn in this world! One thing I have discovered is that this amazing truth isn't predicated on everything going perfectly in my life or me not having any obstacles but it's totally based upon his grace, his patience, his love and his WANTING me to discover who I am in him and living my best life ever! ( and me accepting his invitation) To be awakened to this truth has been extremely liberating!

 I have been in situations that were very uncomfortable to say the least: abandonment by someone I loved and trusted; the scarcity of food & finances, no employment, mistreatment, and SO much more.. but I was NEVER without HOPE!!! And let me tell you the opportunity to choose hopelessness was very present but I made the choice to trust in the source of life-Yeshua. And gradually, my faith in him became stronger; our relationship deepened. Over and over the love Yeshua has for me became obvious. Praying to him everytime (most times) I felt disappointed, sad or uncertain created an atmosphere of trust between us. I knew everything was going to be okay and he knew I would rely on him and his energy and not my own. The wisdom I began to acquire in various situations that produced the results I needed were impeccable.

  Discover the one who is the source of life-Yeshua. Experience a relationship that will revive your soul and produce your best life ever!!!!! No matter what your present circumstance is great, good, okay, not so good, bleak, horrible or whatever the case, in him it will improve expedientially and remarkably!!! He loves you!!!!
Make the decision and then.......LIFE BEGINS!!!! I love you all!!! Enjoy life y'all. Stay Calm & Sparkle. I'll talk to you soon ~Niki Flow~

Living Outside of That Box

Get Out of The Box

Have you ever wondered is there more to life? Or have you looked at someone else on tv, in the grocery store, book store, online, at the park and thought "man they seem to live a fuller life than I". How about the thought(s) of " I could never travel there or acheive that, no one else in my family ever has experienced that before". Sometimes we live in this invisible box that keeps us from experiencing the life we are actually meant to live. Living a life full of purpose and passion isn't a fairytale even though to many in the world it appears that way.

  Are you tired of looking at someone else's life and "wishing" you could have a "do-over"? What if you were given that "do-over", what would you change? I have discovered that living a life full of purpose, excitement, passion, hope, love and abundance of joy is not only obtainable but the ultimate reality! I had to seek my purpose of exisistence from my creator; my energy source, Yeshua. Then I had to make wise and intentional choices concerning various areas in my life. Not making choices out of emotion, others opinions or happenstance. I had to pray and meditate on these decisions. I asked those around me who are more mature, developed and centered in the creator, for their wisdom concerning certain things and then I did the sometimes "tough part"- MOVED.  Having the knowledge of what you should do is easy once you discover it. Having the know how, is easy once you learn it. But one of the more challenging aspects of the process is actually moving out and doing it.

 About a year plus ago I read a book titled "Who Moved My Cheese" by Spencer Johnson. The book is simple in understanding but profound in many regards. I would recommend this book to anyone who has not read it yet;  one thing I reflect on from the story is we "mankind" can put ourselves in a box due to our own mindset, other people or fear and sit in that invisible box knowing we should get out and have more, acheive more, help more, live more but we'll sit in the box and "wish" someone one else would make the "hard" decision for us. Wishing for the change we have the ability and power to make. Year in and year out we go through the motions of life because we won't make the decision to get outside the box and live a life full of purpose! We have this void on the inside and are unfulfilled because we aren't operating in our reason for existence. So, we sit in the box and watch others excel and acheive their goals. We watch them live rich and fulfilling lives; all while not truly believing we were meant to have that same experience. I would like to share a story about a family I had the privilege of being introduced to recently and it is my hope, that you find the inspiration to live your best life ever!

 There was a man who seemed to have had it all, great family, financial freedom, big beautiful home, a great career and an intimate relationship with his creator. He was very active in his local assembly of spiritual growth & development and had great friendships. Though on the outside everything appeared picture perfect to others; he knew there had to be more. There was still something missing- his purpose. As time went on, he decided to go on a missions trip to a country in Africa. While there he met the locals, aided those in need, fulfilled his obligations and went back to his home country. While back home, he sensed a tug from his creator; he knew he was meant to be in the country he just visited in Africa. With much prayer, he knew it was time for him to leave his local assembly of spiritual growth & development and fulfill the purpose his creator had given him. He discussed what he knew was his purpose with a few friends; they prayed with him and for him. The gentlman and his family sold all their possessions and relocated to that country for three years. They worked alongside the chief of that area and other organizations to build up that community. Not only did the man fulfill purpose he aided his family in the courage of discovering and fulfilling theirs. The impact this family made in that country is remarkable to say the least and I would have to write a whole other post to give details. But let me just share that they have created a live and efficient system for the citizens there, they have established friendships, and will continue to go back for workshops & confrences for others who will follow behind them. They are back in their home country and have been asked by a local state & city to assist in the fortifying of the communities there. As the couple ended their sharing of their experience and the joy they were experiencing from fulfilling purpose they both exclaimed how they would  not go back to life as they formerly knew it. Although they had the "dream life" by others standards true fulfillment for them and their children came from living a life obedient to the purpose in which they were created for.
I hope this was inspiring and enlightening. So much more about this family I could write about but the moral of the stroy is get out that box and MOVE!!!! Discover your purpose in the source of life- Yeshua and work at living a fulfilling and rewarding life in your creator! love, love, love you all!

Did you consider the time, thought, effort and consideration that went into your development? The one who created you is a CHAMPION. An intelligent, wise, and master craftsman. Think about the intricate details of the human brain, only an amazing genius (and that's saying it so lightly)could create something so spectacular.

Live your life knowing that you were created to WIN. Opposition will come but WINNERS train, prepare and condition themselves for VICTORY. Even if they don't quiet reach the expected goal, winners go back to the drawing board analyze their actions and make the necessary changes to WIN. Winners don't have a quitters mindset, it's simply not in their thought process. Winners study the game. Winners hang around other winners. Winners are positive people. Winners are achievers. Winners have a relationship with the coach. Your creator is a WINNER; get acquainted with Yeshua! #WIN! Stay Calm & Sparkle, Niki Flow
