Ordinary or Extraordinary?

How many times have you just did just enough? Ordinary people do just enough to make it.  Extraordinary people go above and exceed expectations.  Read:  Proverbs 10:4, Deut. 28:13, Rve. 3:15-16, and Luke 8:16.  Thank about it!  God wants his daughters to outshine the daughters of the world. Are you Ordinary or Extraordinary?  If your answer is Ordinary, make a decision today to go above and beyond what the world expects out of you.  As always ..... Believe in YOU!

X-Men #XMen

On Friday I went with the Eric's to see X-Men.  My question is why does the black men have to die first? That ruin the whole movie for me.  Why can't a black man be part of the super hero's.  I don't understand.  How many movies can we name that the brotha always die first.  Why couldn't he live to the end and be part of the hero's.  I really want to know.

As always, livin' out my purpose everyday,

When I walked into work this morning this is the quote I read on my wall:

 

JUST THINK, you’re not here by chance, but by God’s choosing. 

HIS HAND FORMED YOU and made you the person you are.

He compares you to no one else—you are ONE OF A KIND.

YOU LACK NOTHING that His grace can’t give you.

HE HAS ALLOWED you to be here at this time in history

to fulfill His special purpose FOR THIS GENERATION.

                                    ­--Roy Lessin 

 

Is that powerful?  Meditate on this quote today.

 

            As Always, fulfilling my purpose,

Christian Louboutin 4A Python Suede Platform Bootie

I like, but I don't know about the 6.6 inches. What do you think?

Christian Louboutin 4A Python Suede Platform Bootie: "

Christian Louboutin 4A Python Suede Platform Bootie is a post from: Your Next Shoes

My oh my, I think Christian Louboutin is doing a major image overhaul. Check out these booties from his Spring 2011 Collection. Tell me, do these look like Loubis to you? Save for the red bottoms…it could actually pass as a pair of Jeffrey Campbells, don’t you think?

Christian Louboutin 4A Platform Suede Booties, US$1395

(heels at 6.5 inches; platforms at 2 inches)

Forgive me, I don’t mean to imply that Mr. Louboutin is a copy cat, and I’m not bashing him either, I am simply stating an observation aloud – his shoes are getting chunkier. The change in his aesthetic for this collection is quite apparent.

Of course, this goes without saying that these booties are more than just show stopping. It’s definitely not for the faint hearted. To wear it will require a lot of personality. If you’re the type, feel free to purchase these 4A Python Suede Platform Booties at Neiman Marcus. It retails for US$1395.

Happy New Year!

 "Forget the things that happened  in  2010 the past. Do not keep on thinking about them.
  I am about to do something new in 2011.  It is beginning to happen even now.
      Don't you see it coming?
   I am going to make a way for you..........  (Ref. Isa 43:18,19)

Have vision this year,  See the things that God is going to do in your life in 2011.  Believe it!
Happy 2011!

RIP Robert Walker SR

This post is dedicated to an awesome men of God who was true to the end.  He was a husband, father,grandfather, brother, uncle, friend, mentor and a master at lawn care.  If you sat and listen you would be wiser when you left.  He never met a stranger. He was a giver.  He was authenic. He loved Gloria Walker and his family.  Fresh Manna men's ministry that he directed, will miss him. You will truly be missed by all that had an opportunity to know you.

You were loved,

MCH

10 Ways To Push Yourself To GET THINGS DONE and Live That Rockstar Life You've Always Dreamed Of

Need some motivation to light that inner fire or kick your own butt? Here are 10 mental strategies to finally get cracking on those life goals you've been dreaming about.

1. Wikipedia 5 of your greatest role models in your area of your dream work. Chances are they were already getting their ball rolling in major ways at a very young age--late teens to early twenties. Don't fool yourself into thinking you hae a lot of time.

2. Do one very small action step today. An e-mail, a phone call, a sentence, a single brush stroke, ten minutes of research. One very small action step is an infinity times more powerful than doing absolutely nothing. 

3. Have a morning routine and an evening routine that will get you working on your dream career or goal. That way, you are starting your day and ending your day on a high note: making closer steps to achieving your dreams. 

4. Make an ongoing time log of all the minutes and hours you spend working on your important goals. When you clock yourself in and out, you are your own boss and employee, and you are holding yourself completely accountable for how you spend or waste your time. You will also notice your own particular patterns and learn to adjust accordingly for your maximum productivity.

5. Make a RESULTS list, not a TO-DO list. You will know with greater clarity what exactly you want to achieve.

6. Find a mentor. Or a buddy who wants to achieve the same goals as you do. When you are holding yourself accountable to at least one other person, you will be more motivated to prove to the world that you will get it done.

7. Find your own inner motivation to push yourself to do better. What is the most satisfying thing about getting something done? Not fame, fortune, or compliments (though they are certainly nice), but the quiet inner satisfaction and peace of mind that comes from having achieved something great with your own two feet. Remember that. 

8. Get scared of falling into the mediocre life. What's the easiest way to get scared of mediocrity? To think of the many people you know who have been "someday"ing about their life dreams for the last five, ten, fifteen years but not doing anything about it. 

9. Eliminate "try to" when you speak about your goals. Which statement sounds more convincing to you: "I will TRY TO lose five pounds" or "I WILL lose five pounds"? Saying "try to"--whether to yourself or to others--is a subconscious way of giving yourself permission to slack off or not do it.

10. Remember: how you live your life today is how you live your life every day. If you're not careful, what you do to procrastinate on your life eventually becomes your life. Now how about getting that dream map on paper tonight instead of rewatching the entire first season of Glee?
