Now What? After Your Child Graduates and Starts a New Season of Life
Now What? After Your Child Graduates and Starts a New Season of Life
My Little Girl Is Growing Up
Within the last few months I celebrated my oldest daughter’s 18th birthday and her high school graduation. 
She is very smart, talented, and beautiful. I’ve always been proud of her in many ways. Especially her ability to stand for what is right and make smart decisions.
Within the last six months or so, though – I’ve seen her decision making waver.
My heart has always gone out to other parents who have a child or children that stray from what they know is right and get wrapped up in the dark things of the world. I can now relate to what those parents are going through in a much deeper way. My daughter this year got hooked up with a bad group of friends and overnight turned into someone I hardly recognize. It broke my heart.
Thanks to a praying pastor, friends, and family, she is coming back around and I believe she will prosper in the good plans God has prepared for her.
Earlier this year I had a friend remind me that as much as I love my daughter – she is also a child of God and He loves her and cares for her way more than I do. I don’t know how to even explain how much that comforted me, but it still does . . .
I picture God watching over her and holding her at all times. Something I can’t do. So I continue to pray and trust God to take care of her.
Some Powerful, Encouraging Scripture Confessions to Pray Over Your Child in Accordance With The Word of God:
I pray that in all things my child is more than a conqueror through Jesus who loves her.
Romans 8:37I pray, God, that You have put a new song in my child’s mouth – praise to her God.
Psalm 40:3I pray that my child has the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:16I pray that my child is confident that You, God, who have begun a good work in her, will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6I pray that, Lord, Your faithfulness will establish my child and guard her from the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3I pray, God, that You have sent Your word and healed my child and delivered her from destruction.
Psalm 107:20I pray that my child will be strong in You, Lord, and in the power of Your might. I pray that she will put on Your whole armor, that she may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For she does not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of the age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:10-12I pray that my child realizes that You, Lord, know how to deliver her out of temptations.
2 Peter 2:9I pray that You, God, will heal my child’s broken heart and bind up her wounds.
Psalm 147:3I pray that my child loves You, God, because You first loved her.
1 John 4:19
Go ahead and personalize these with your child’s name.
In good times or bad, we need to continue praying God’s will for our children. Then we’ll see growth take place in their lives to become all that God intends them to be!
God bless you & your children,
Brenda

A Prosperous Future Is In Your Vision – Not In Your Past
A Prosperous Future Is In Your Vision – Not In Your Past
A Prosperous Future Requires Looking Ahead
But here’s the problem you and I face. Our focus on the past chokes off the dream within us.
We must look at where we’re going with a dream of unlimited possibilities. Don’t vision the future by the past. The past should just be a learning curve. You can’t move forward very fast if you spend most of your time looking back.
At graduation time, when many young people have a bright future in front of them, they can at the same time be frightened of an unknown future. When facing your future and any difficult tasks, act as if it is impossible to fail. Be bold and courageous. The future only frightens those who want to live in the past.
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat.”
— Theodore Roosevelt
Your future contains more abundance of happiness, love, success, and opportunities than any past you can remember. As a Christian, God doesn’t look at your past to decide your future. We are told in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.” So don’t let any past failures hold you back.
Here is a great analogy my pastor shared of driving a car. In a car the front window is l
arge, so that we can clearly see where we are going, and reach our destination safely. However, the car also includes a rear view mirror. This mirror is small to allow an occasional glance back of what is behind to help us as we move forward. Obviously if we spend too much time looking back while driving, we aren’t going to have the greatest success in reaching our destination. Can you say crash, boom, bang?
That’s the primary reason why you have to look to the future believing and expecting great things in order to have a prosperous life. No one backs into prosperity. Remember, nothing is impossible with God. Don’t be afraid to take a chance and attempt great things.
The bottom line is that you have a prosperous future ahead of you, so look ahead. Learn to believe in yourself and have God on your side. Acknowledge God and He will direct your paths. His beautiful plan made just for you will unfold before your very eyes. Know when God is in your plans, they will prosper.
May your future be a never ending journey of growing prosperity!
God bless you – cheers,
Brenda
Attract Prosperity – How to Make Money Cometh!
Attract Prosperity – How to Make Money Cometh!
Discover How You Can Make Money Come to You With God’s Help
Prosperity and how to attract it is not a secret. It is possible to make money come your way. However, it does require getting in line with the laws of attraction.
Before We Get Started, Tell Me If Any of These Sound Familiar:
- Nothing I ever do works out.
- Money doesn’t grow on trees.
- Poverty is godly.
- Money is the root of all evil.
- I can never get ahead.
If any of these are in your thought life and vocabulary, I hate to break it to you, but you are chasing the money away!
You can NOT hold onto the above beliefs and at the same time attract prosperity.
Let me get right to the point. To put the law of attraction to work on your finances, you need to get your thoughts, heart, and mouth working together.
Get clear on your goal with specific amounts and time frames and then write it down. Envision yourself reaching your goal and speak it daily. As you speak it, you increase the desire on your heart which in turn keeps it in your thoughts and speech. This cycle creates a powerful attraction factor.
It is only a matter of time, if you are persistent and stay focused on the goal. The money will come your way.
Refuse to allow any previous negative beliefs or thoughts into your head. Refuse to let any negative, contrary statements come out of your mouth. Cancel them immediately when they try to sneak up on you and replace them with positive confessions of your goals.
A Few Truths About Money to Encourage You and Help Attract it Quicker:
- Money is not the root of all evil, but the love of money is. (1 Tim. 6:10) So don’t love it!
- God will give you much so you can give away much. (2 Cor. 9:11) Blessed to be a blessing!
- If you give abundantly, you’ll receive abundantly. (2 Cor. 9:6) Giving is key!
- God wishes above all things that you prosper. (3 John 2)
- God gives you the power to get wealth. (Deut. 8:18)
So there you have it. Chose to repel it or make the money come your way. It’s up to you. What you allow your mind to think about, your heart to desire, and your mouth to speak is what you have coming. Don’t let your past thoughts close your mind and prevent you from seeing the real truth: God wants you to prosper.
May you walk in the blessings God has for you and continue to experience growing prosperity!
Soar higher,

Would You Like 2 Easy Steps That Attract Abundant Favor To Prosper?
Would You Like 2 Easy Steps That Attract Abundant Favor To Prosper?
Apply These Two Easy Steps to Attract Prosperous Favor for a New Lease on Life!
There is no better time than now to attract some favor. Especially if you are like so many who are ready to throw in the towel or feel like their back is up against the wall. Have years of sowing negative thoughts attracted negative, sour, people and situations into your life?
It’s no wonder, because your thoughts are the beginning of your reality. Constantly thinking and speaking negative will short circuit favor from getting through to you.
But the GOOD NEWS is, there is ABUNDANT FAVOR available to you. You are made in God’s image. In you is the ability to give and receive favor. God is reaching out His hand of favor to you. You must stop thinking you are not capable or worthy of receiving and giving His favor. A strong negative spirit will hinder your ability to reach out and receive much of this favor.
Know where you stand. God is a God of love, favor, and mercy. You are an outlet for His power to flow through to bless you and others. He is constantly promoting those who learn to live in this law of favor. To be on track, you must follow His steps.
Attract Favor by Following Two Easy Steps:
#1 – First you must think, believe, and expect favor to flow from God and others to you. Get your thoughts in-line and see yourself receiving favor everywhere you go and in everything you do.
#2 – Second, you need to favor others even when they are ugly and unkind to you. Give favor to others daily.
Plain and simple, you reap what you sow. Give and the Lord will make men give unto you. Set yourself up to receive favor. Meditate and sow good thoughts of blessings to others.
We are told in 2 Corinthians 9:10 that God gives seed to the sower. As you give, God continues to fill your life with fresh favor to prosper. But just like electricity has no power until the circuit is completed, favor has no power until your circuit is completed. You must let it flow to others.
A new lease on life can be yours. Reach out beyond your present “rut” by expecting favor. Develop an attitude of being blessed to be a blessing. Watch as you leap into new levels of favor and growing prosperity in your life!
God bless you,
Brenda
Younger Thinner You Diet, Dr Eric Braverman – Book Review
Younger Thinner You Diet, by Dr Eric Braverman – Book Review
How Understanding Your Brain Chemistry Can Help You Lose Weight, Reverse Aging, and Fight Disease
I’ve always had an interest in health and nutrition. Blame it on my mom for being a major ‘health nut’ in the ‘70s and on. (Actually I need to thank my mom for it … thanks Mom! 
)
I find it fascinating how our minds and brain play such an important role in who we are and how we live our lives out. I see God using Dr. Braverman in his cutting edge research and I’ve seen him interviewed on a number of Christian programs.
In Younger (Thinner) You Diet, Dr. Eric R. Braverman reveals how we can have permanent weight loss and take years off our age (and who doesn’t want that?), by changing the chemical balance of our brains. The brain is discussed at length in simple to understand terms and how different chemicals affect it. You’ll find out how it affects your personality, weight loss and aging process. It also includes quizzes to help you understand your weakest areas.
Reviews:
“Dr. Braverman identifies the missing component of addictive eating—imbalances in your brain chemistry. His program corrects the problem and makes it possible to stick to his and other great dietary programs for thinness and your health.” Nicholas Perricone, MD, FACN, Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the Yale University School of Medicine, and author of the bestsellers The Wrinkle Cure and The Perricone Prescription
“This book is amazing and shows how to eat for LIFE.”
Actual portion of user testimonial taken from www.amazon.com“It doesn’t matter who you are or what health you’re in, you need to have this book. It’s not just about being thin; it’s about balancing your body’s hormones, brain chemistry, mood, the works.”
Actual portion of user testimonial taken from www.amazon.com“I was further amazed at how much our personality is formed by neurotransmitters, which can be balanced with food.”
Actual portion of user testimonial taken from www.amazon.com“…you will also find tips for combating such things as osteoporosis, collagen loss, and other maladies.”
Actual portion of user testimonial taken from www.amazon.com
I could go on and on… but just want to say this is definitely a reference book to have for anyone wanting to improve their health. Our health is so important to being able to live out the plan God has for us.
You can find the Younger (Thinner) You Diet and other Dr. Eric Braverman books online at Amazon.com.
I’ve had seasons of being sick and seasons of being healthy, physically and mentally … and I sure do accomplish more in the seasons of being healthy!
“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Cor. 3:16
Let us all take care of this temple that God has given us and that His Spirit dwells in. May you all continue to have growing prosperity in your health, even as your soul prospers!
God bless and soar higher,
Brenda

Why Not Use Your Divine Power to Prosper?
Why Not Use Your Divine Power to Prosper?
Let Your Heart Awake to the Unlimited Possibilities Within You!
Is your life full of discouragement from repeated failures and disappointments? Are you lacking satisfaction from not doing that thing your heart longs to do in life? Well if your plans are not prospering and you are feeling the burden of poverty there is something wrong.
What’s your problem?
Knowing something is wrong is quite obvious. However, discovering what is wrong is where the confusion comes in. 
The problem is not with the world, or God’s good plan for your life, but with yourself. Yes, the problem is with you. You are simply not thinking right. You are not visualizing your life and yourself as you desire it to be.
Every moment of our lives we are experiencing the results of thought. What we believe, think, vision, and expect, shapes our lives. Through the control and direction of our thoughts, backed up with steps of action related to our vision, we can attract to us our heart’s desires.
Proverbs 23:7 tells us that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
Change what you think in your heart to line up with how God sees you!
Feel the divine force surge through your every atom of being once you become conscious of the truth that the real you is connected with the almighty power of God. Let your heart awake to the unlimited possibilities within you as you feel God’s arm sustaining and upholding you. Once you discover your mission on earth is divinely planned you will not be content to live a half life, but purpose to act on what is in your heart until it is released and prospers.
Why not use the divine creative power available within you?
Perhaps you were reared under conditions that have had you wandering through your life ignorant of your own possibilities. Yet you may have an instinctive feeling that there is something great in you yet to be discovered. Becoming conscious of your connection with God will shed light and uncover those hidden possibilities within you.
Bottom line: There is divine power available when you fill your thoughts with what God says about you and then begin to speak them over your life. Let the awareness of the almighty power of God pulsating through your heart, result in your thoughts, visions, beliefs, and actions moving you to a higher plane. This in turn will shape your life and attract your heart’s desires. Live the full, abundant, prosperous life God has planned for you.
May you experience growing prosperity in your life as you use your divine God given power!
Be blessed to be a blessing,
Brenda
