Inventory your family relationships (9/16/13)


Greetings Everyone,
All honor and glory be to God! I hope yall had a wonderful weekend. Mine was OK, I wish I had more participation at my organization's meeting though. Also, I was super excited about getting a massage from this spa nearby the crib. The ratings were pretty high, but to my dismay it was a complete disappointment. First off, the infused cucumber water which I happen to enjoy, was room temperature. Then they had me fill out the wrong forms, so I had to start over with a new set of forms. They asked about the areas I wanted the masseuse to concentrate on, and then they sent me to the "tranquility" room. They were 15 minutes behind my appointment time. I arrived to the room to undress, and they had me waiting for another 5 minutes in an ice cold temperatures. Even the lotion or oil they used was cold, and they did not cater to any of my problematic areas; I specified that they tend to my hands, feet, and temporal area. They barely spent time on my feet and hands and completely missed the temporal area. Additionally, I walked out feeling more tense than I had gone in. Smh ... that blows, but better luck next time I suppose. Enough of my pointless rants ...

REMINDER: I'm still seeking volunteers to help build-up my non-profit organization; join my team of volunteers as we work to provide sustenance to those in need (please refer to http://www.fmbs-inc-bytye.org for more information about the organization). If you or someone you know would like to join my team of volunteers, please contact me so that I may set-up an orientation to get you started with your volunteer membership. Our next meeting will be held on September 15th at 3:00 PM in Los Angeles (location will be disclosed upon your RSVP). Additionally, as a group we will be participating in the Brain Tumor Society’s 2nd annual 5k walk/run. FMBS Inc. will be walking/running in honor of my dear friend, Jennifer Robinson, a brain tumor survivor. I would love for you to participate in the walk with us. Contact me with regard to your interest in this event, or simply “register” to “join a team” under my name (Tylesha Allen) or my company’s name (FMBS Inc.) for Team Jenn. If you would rather submit a monetary donation, you are more than welcome to do that as well. Either way, just copy and paste one of these two URL addresses http://www.braintumorcommunity.org/goto/Team_Jenn_R orhttp://www.braintumorcommunity.org/goto/fmbs_4_Team_Jenn into your Internet browser to read Jennifer’s story, to join Team Jenn, or to make a pledge that will help us reach our fund-raising goal; we would like to raise $1,000 for the cause. So far, we've only reached the $300 mark, so please remember tospread the word about this event. We thank you in advance for SHARING these links with others. Many people have suffered as a result of brain tumors and brain cancers; families and friends of those who fall victim to brain tumors and/or brain cancer are victims themselves. Our efforts will bring researchers that much closer to better treatment, a cure, and will ultimately help to better educate society.

As we continue to work together to spread God’s Gospel, let us also encourage one another to take steps that lead to a healthy overall mind, body, and soul; TRANSFORM your body, mind, and soul by feeding your body healthy nutrition, and being cautious of what things you allow your eyes, ears, and spirits to be exposed to (e.g. media, books, TV, music, etc.). Have you fed your spirit today? CHANGE BEGINS WITHIN, so START YOUR TRANSFORMATION TODAY, because tomorrow is NOT promised. Continue to keep one another in prayer, thanking God for the victory, and refraining from claiming defeat from the enemy; ALWAYS pray for your desired result, NOT the unfavorable outcomeDo NOT lose sight of God in the midst of adversity. God Bless!

Lord please clear our minds, and open our eyes and ears so that we may see, hear, and receive your intended message from this fellowship. In the name of Jesus, Amen!
 
Passage - Psalm 37:23-24 (NLT):
"The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand."

Thoughts for Today:
"Continuing to think about taking inventory of our lives, another important area to examine is our family relationships. Make your own list of questions you might want to use, some like these:
  • Am I holding on to bitterness toward a family member who has hurt me?
  • How is my lifestyle affecting other family members?
  • Is there someone in my family in need of more of my time and attention?
  • Are my priorities in order?
As you consider these questions and others, ask God to help you see clearly. The Bible tells us that He knows our undertakings and thoughts even before we act or think, so be honest with Him about what you see and feel. Always remember that He loves you no matter what. He wants to help you in your family relationships and in every area of your life.

Consider this ... 

Ask Jesus to forgive you for past failures and to help you make right choices. Focus on Him; He will forgive you, He will guide you, and He will enable you to become the person He has called you to be.

Prayer of the Day:
Father God we thank you for life, health, and strength. We ask for forgiveness of everything that we have thought, said, or did, that was not pleasing in your sight. Give us the strength we need to forgive those who have wronged us, the same way you continuously grant forgiveness to us. Also, place upon those we may have wronged, the same desire, that we too may be forgiven by them. More importantly Father, whatever guilt we've place on self, allow us to release so that we may forgive ourselves. As we examine our family relationships, we may see some places where we need to change and grow. We thank you that you care about every detail of our lives. Forgive us for our failures, and help us to set things right. Help us to release all negativity stored within. Bless us with a double portion of your Spirit Father. Close every unnecessary door that is open in our lives, and open supernatural doors to peace, prosperity, clarity, contentment, and happiness. Provide each of us with clear and concise revelations that we need in order to overcome the adversary. Help us to see, hear, and feel your presence through every trial and tribulation. Help us to reevaluate our lifestyles, and to rearrange our priorities, placing you at the top of our list. Provide discernment to know the difference between good and bad, right from wrong, and your will vs. our own desires. We thank you for provision, guidance, and protection from Satan’s attacks. By the authority in our words, we reverse all the negativity spoken into existence within our individual lives and the lives of our loved ones and associates. We take back everything the enemy has stolen from us, and bind every evil and malicious plot, plan, and scheme devised against us, in the matchless name of Jesus. Lord we also grant your angels permission to do our bidding on Earth without recourse. Transform us into an image that mirrors Jesus, so that His goodness is reflected in all that we do. This is our affirmation of faith Father God; we submit our petition to you in the name of Jesus, Amen!
 
Respectfully,
