"Fighting Temptation"

Hear Tyler Perry's take on Temptation and how they consume you... Matthew 26:41 is one of the many scripture to help when one is fighting temptation but also be mindful of Ephesians 6:12 to get a better understanding of what one is truly wrestling with. Be Blessed you all! www.twitter.com/@MsStans1

"Flustered"

A friend of mine share a scripture with me this morning... John 14:27 Which states: Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do i give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. I really needed to hear this, this morning! As much as i play around and joke all the time, everyday is not as happy go lucky... Today has been a day that i just really have to process everything that's going on in my life, regroup and allow God to speak to me! Although i'm having an off day I still hold Romans 8:28 ( For we know all things work together for the good of them who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose). I'm still giving God praise no matter what i go through because i know he's working everything out in my favor. No matter how people try to do things to me underhandedly, its up to me to treat them as God would want me to treat them. Its not always easy to treat people kind that dog you out but i know that its the right thing to do. Its kinda funny how the devil will try to come in and twist things up when everything has been going just fine. Its up to us to stand firm and not to allow the devil to win! I hope you all have an awesome and blessed day! www.twitter.com/@MsStans1

Get Fine Challenge

Ok so i'm on this #GetFineChallenge that i created for myself to make sure i look good in my outfits for Spring Break...The problem is, is that its so hard to eat right when i constantly want chocolate or i'm craving a half pint of cookies-n-cream ice cream. So here's what i've decided to do: If i have a craving just eat a small portion of whatever it is and work out extra hard to get ride of the all those calories i took in when i was making love to that Kit Kat bar lol. I absolutely love food but in all seriousness there are so many healthy foods that taste really good and will help you as you try to live a better/ healthier life. Heres a List of Things i've tried and really like that are tasty as well as healthy:/i> *Chobani Greek Yogurt ( so far i love the strawberry flavor) *Fruit is always a plus (Strawberries, grapes, red/ green apples, bananas etc) *Baked Chicken or Fish *Salad (balsamic, Vinegar and Oil or Italian dressing) *Fiber One snack bars (This are really good but be ready to run to the restroom) *Special K cereal with Silk milk ( light soy and vanilla flavor) *Cucumbers with a little salt and pepper * You should always eat 5 to 6 meals a day. Make sure you have 3 meals (eat in healthy portions) and 2or3 snacks...this helps you to loose weight a little faster. And Whats eating right if your don't work out????? Make sure you get of some type of work out plan to help drop those pounds and tone up. www.twitter.com/@MsStans1

Valentines Letter

Dear Pretty Girl Does it bother you that people automatically think your going to have guys wrapped around the corner for Valentines DAy? Has anyone ever said to you

So...How many dates do you have for V-Day?

or

How many deliveries do you think you'll get?

. I could never understand why society thinks every young and attractive young lady will have tons of guys to choose from on days like Valentines Day. Well don't fret my luv and remember that you are not alone in this battle (Society vs. The Pretty Girl). Even if you don't have guys at your beck and call please know that you are still loved by the most important guy every! God loves us all even when we put all our love into other things and other people before him. www.twitter.com/@MsStans1

Whos You Are....

So its black history month and i have yet to see anyone really paying respect/homage to any of these historical. Has celebrating Black History become a thing of the past? Do we not care anymore about the failures and the accomplishments of our ancestors? I was once told if you don't know where you've been, how can you know where your going?... Chew on that...Wake Up young people and get to know Whos you are. I'm not just talking about black/African American people...this goes for any and every race...Get to know your History so we as a young generation will not repeat the same mistakes our ancestors made. www.twitter.com/@MsStans1

The Hand YOur Dealt

Have you ever asked the question "Why is everything going crazy in my life?" A lot of times when we are trying to get ourselves/ our lives together everything seems to go haywire! Every time we get one foot up we get tripped up by the other. Some times you feel like your back is always against the wall no matter how hard you try to push your self away your stuck there. Life has a funny ways of shuffling the cards; one day you have a winning hand and the next day you lose every hand you play. I had to find a scripture and some music that would help me get through tuff days like this; Romans 8:28 states "for we know that All things work together for the good of them who love the LOrd and are called according to his purpose". As I read that scripture one word really stuck out to me and that was "ALL", the Lord didn't say some things work together...he said "ALL" things work together. This lets me know that no matter how the situation looks i have to remember that the Good as well as the Bad is working in my favor. The Music that i found to sooth my soul is Maze and Frankie Beverly...Yes you heard me right lol. His music brings happy thoughts and to my mind and make me feel better about anything i'm dealing with.

"Innocence"

This is Hadiya Pendleton,the 15 year old young lady that was fatally shot in Chicago. This story is extremely sad as well as ridiculous! It really breaks my heart to know that someone would kill someone with such a bright future ahead of them! They did even give her a chance to experience life to the fullest! I totally understand that this was apart of the Will of God and that i have to accept what God allows but most of the time its hard for you stay focused on the Will of God when so many young lives are being taken. Some of these children will never even see their kindergarten graduation let alone a High School graduation. These are some of the things that blow my mind but i know that God has a lesson for all of us to learn through these tragic situations.

Alicia Keys - Brand New Me

This song spoke volumes to me when i first heard it. The space i've been in for the last few years have been evolving me into the women people see right now and i still have so much more to learn. Alicia Keys has no idea that she was singing  about my life when she recorded this song. She put it so simple and i love it! Although she speaks of a coming out of a relationship and becoming a new woman...thats only part of my story. Music truly speaks to me and this song gave me life!

"Reality"

Life has a funny way of taking us up and down on a constant. Sometimes it gets hard to catch our breath do to the constant sprint. During those ups and downs how many times do we take our hands off those situations and allow God to do his thing? God is constantly telling us to cast our cares upon him and he will give us strength (Psalms 55:22) yet we still try to work out situations on our own. Once you totally release every situation to him whether or not its good or bad and allow him to move on your behalf, life will becomes a little easier to handle. I was looking for quotes about life and i found one that really helped me this morning so i thought i would share it with you all.. “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”― Dr. Seuss Have a blessed day! www.twitter.com/@MsStans1

"The Product (A Closer Look) "

I was born on December 20, 1987 to Larry and Lynell Harper @ Jefferson Hospital. My parents loved me and cared for me to the best of their ability the few years i was with them. No i wasn't adopted; My mother passed when i was about 5 yrs. old and once my mom passed my dad went on a long vaca of his own. Although i didn't have my biological parents around i never lacked in love, i never went hungry, i always had clothes on my back and a warm bed to sleep in. On July 4, 2012 i finally reunited with my father after over 18 years. When i first saw my dad all i could do was smile and the years of questions and anger i had for him seem extremely small in that moment. One thing that i have learned is FORGIVENESS, which is key when rebuilding a relationship after so many years. (Luke 17:3-4). Since my 1st visit with my dad we've grown a lot closer and I finally ask him one question; ME:" Daddy did you and Mama not love us kids enough to stop doing drugs?" and his response to me was: We loved y'all but the drugs were just more in control at those times" Tears started to flow and all i could do was appreciate his honesty but I truly thank God that i was never one of those kids who blamed everything i did wrong on the fact that I didn't have parents around when I was growing up or the fact that my parents did drugs. Now trust and believe that my life hasn't always been peaches and cream; yes i've had my truly down moments when i just wish i could talk to my mom or dad but God has alway been there to sustain me through any and all adversity. (Psalms 46:1)
