SUNDAY'S INSPIRATION

Obstacle or opportunity?

Sheila Schuller Coleman

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." – Philippians 4:6

Bumps in the road.
Obstacles in the board room.
Lack of funding.
Loss of energy.
Disappointments in treasured relationships.

The positive anticipation that fueled the beginning of the endeavor has been replaced with the painful reality of running smack dab into hard times. Now what? Now is when you dig in your heels. You ask for help with an open mind, but you don't give up! You replay the reason why you wanted to start this in the first place. Was it God's noble dream?

Then, trust God's sovereignty and
his timing. Thank him that he will supply grace to view this obstacle as his opportunity for you to grow, to learn, to be stronger than ever.

Trust God to redirect, if necessary, to see his perfect plan become a positive reality.

* * *

Pray the words of Philippians 4:6 in a specifically applied way this week. Example: "Dear God, I'm feeling anxious about…[fill in the source of your anxiety]. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to grow. Please…[fill in specific ways in which you would like to see God work in this situation]. Amen."

TURKEY TROT

“The Food For Thought Drive”

Mission

Our plan for the November 2009 Thanksgiving Holidays is to distribute turkeys and can goods freely, to people in need. We are going to call this event “Food For Thought” because it is extremely important that we create the thought process of people serving their communities. A lack of adequate food to the disadvantaged citizen in New York City contributes to crime, poverty, homelessness, and other social ills in our communities.

Our poorer citizens should have access to affordable food, at all times. We live in the United States of America , the richest and most prosperous nation in the world so it is unfortunate that we have hunger, poverty and other social ills in our communities. Inflation, steadily rising food prices and a high cost of living, some financial pressures — including health issues, health insurance issues and low wages, continue to affect the quality of life for New Yorkers with low to moderate incomes thus making it difficult for many to afford food costs with there already stretched budgets.

In New York City , approximately 1.3 million people rely on emergency food. Additionally, the number of New Yorkers reporting difficulty affording food has doubled to four million since 2003. Therefore, the “Food For Thought” initiative will be a great contribution to the well being of our needy citizens during a time of reflection and appreciation for what America has done for many.

Sundays Inspiration

One Power
There is only one power in my life and in the universe, God the good.
I begin my day by affirming, "There is only one power in my life and in the universe, God the good." This affirmation helps me keep my focus on God and see God active in my life.

There may be times when people or conditions seem to have a certain power over me. But I remind myself that things only have the power I give them. Releasing any belief in the power of anyone or anything to take away my good, I return to my morning affirmation. There is only ONE power in my life and in those around me--and that power is God.

Centered in divine power, I am at peace. If there is an action I am to take to help restore my health, prosperity or harmony, I am receptive to the guidance and wisdom of the One Power, God the good.

"No one can serve two masters."--Matthew 6:24

Styling Tip # 13

It's officially nippy outside so its pretty much time to cop or bring out lite fur pieces to face the fall, leave the full lengths in the closet for now. A fur piece can make any casual outfit look fly.

Ms. Beckham ended her all black look with a lite short fur.


Then theres the mink scarf thats a great accessory


Its now the perfect weather to throw on a fur vest with a sweater underneath

SUNDAY'S INSPIRATION

Faith
My faith is strong. I am confident.
If I find myself in a challenging circumstance, I remember to check my perception of the situation. My faith does not lie in the trouble that surrounds me; my faith lies in God. During a dry season, a tree's roots grow deeper to reach water. Likewise, in times of seeming difficulty, my faith grows deeper as I seek connection with God.
I foster faith by focusing my thoughts on God's powerful protection and limitless love. I feel divine love within and all about me. I see any difficult situation through new eyes, and my anxiety disappears. I move through the challenge with grace and ease.
My faith in God is strong, because I know that I am always enfolded in God's peaceful, loving presence.
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."--2 Timothy 4:7


Hope
The light and love of God within me shine brightly.
A dark cloud in the sky can seem ominous, but no cloud can stop the sun from shining. Above the clouds, the sun shines as brightly as ever.
Regardless of any shadow clouding my day, the love of God within is ever present, always shining, blessing me with guidance, inspiration and hope.
At any time, I may reconnect with the infinite love of God within. I center myself in meditation and prayer, and the light of wisdom and understanding grows. Nothing in the outer world is beyond the power of God's love to transform.
"Your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning. And you will have confidence, because there is hope. –Job 11:17-18
