Want to Fix it? Let's Talk it Out...
If you can talk about it, you can fix it.
— N. A. "CoJo" Jones

Healthy relationship typically have one common ingredient, good communications. Inspite of this one fact we seem to run for the hills when comes to having hard, uncomfortable conversations. The conversations that are the hardest tend to yield the most fruit, that's why they are so difficult. As always say, if you can talk about it, you can fix it. Fixing it isn't always reconciliation. Sometimes fixing it is walking away. Sometimes fixing it is new beginning, and sometimes fixing it places you in a better place than ever before. Talking about it is a conversation act. You have to seek to understand, and second to be understood. It has to be a two way street to gain insight on what really transpured. Talking about requires vulnerablity, you have to be willing to show who you are with your whole heart. Your whole heart sometimes seems like steep price, but almost always being seen, is worth it. You'll never know though if you don't sit down and try.

God Conscious

So I have a confession. I have not marketed myself the the way that I ought to have because I have been self conscious. I have been afraid of what people might say or think of me. i have been self conscious about how I may be received, and all the while I neglected to pay attention to what God was doing. I was watching him do things through me, but I was afraid to tell people because I was self concious, and not God conscious.

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
— John 12:32 KJV

It is like I completely forgot what the word says, even though I have pinterest board that literall called "lift Christ, he'll draw all men." Don't be so self conscious that you forget to be conscious of the wondrous things God is doing and trying to do through and for you. Don't be self conscious. Be God Conscious.

OBSESSED: Let It GO!!

If you're wondering where your blessing are, I am willing to bet that you have an obsession that is hindering you from meeting your blessings. Sometimes we are obsessed with social media, sex, drugs, alcohol, or even a person; it means that we are not obsessed with God, because an obsession takes over your complete focus. God wants your time, and your focus. He promises that if you will give him those things, he'll give you those things your heart desires. 

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
— Matthew 6:33 KJV
