MY KIDS HATE VEGETABLES

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're all having a great day, today and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you all for joining me.

My kids hate vegetables. Whenever I put some on their plates they start saying  "YUCK!" Or even start acting like they are about to throw up. That used to get me. They know that I don't like seeing them sick. Anytime I notice anything unusual about them, I jump up and start fuzzing over them. I should've said I used to jump up and fuzz. Thank God for grace. The grace of God has helped me overcome fear and anxiety when it comes to my kids.

I understand their tricks and don't fall for them anymore. Instead of trying to convince them to eat their veggies, I have found a better way to do it. Smoothies!! Yes, smoothies. My kids love their juice and smoothies. What they don't know is that I sneak in carrots, spinach, kale and all the different veggies they hate into their smoothies. Lol...

It's so sweet to watch them gulp down their smoothies and express how delicious it is not knowing that they are actually eating their veggies 😆

If you struggle with getting your kids to eat their veggies, you may want to try making smoothies for them.

Another way I get them to eat their veggies is by blending them together and making soups. They love their vegetable noodle soup. It's really delicious the way I make it. I think you'd like it too. I will share my recipe in a later post. 

Thank you for reading my post. I hope you have an amazing evening.

With gratitude,

Maryam

YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY|| GOD IS FOR YOU

 What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you are having an amazing day and are not letting anyone or thing steal your joy? Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day! Thank you for stopping by today.

I come with a word for you today. A word straight from Heaven. God lives within YOU and wants to help you and is helping you right NOW. Everything you may have been through, every person that may have hurt you and every thought that may be hunting you are not powerful enough to keep you from your glorious destiny. God already completed the works of perfection to meet your every need.

You are valuable, you are amazing, you are loved, you are beautiful, you are more than enough. Here's what you can do to begin to experience what you already are. Start seeing yourself how you want to be NOW. Stop projecting your goodness, peace and joy to the future. Quit thinking that peace will come in a later date. Peace is here NOW! Stop wishing for someone to come and save you, Jesus already has. You are more than the memories of the wrongs you did or the life you have lived. God loves you and that is ALL you need to concern yourself with. No matter what you've been raised to believe, God's love is not dependent of your wrong or right actions. His mercies are overflowing and new every morning. Quit worrying about whether or not God cares or approves of you and start thanking Him for not cutting you off like people would. Draw closer to God by giving thanks and acknowledging His presence even if you can't feel it. The truth is God is with you and always will be. You need to know it too. 

Now, get up and begin to give thanks for what God has already done for you. As you do, you will notice doors begin to open. You start feeling more joy and peace like never before. I pray that God shields you under His Mighty Light and keep evil away from you and your family in Jesus Name.

With gratitude,

THE BATTLE IN YOUR MIND

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you are all having a great day today and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day! Thank you all for joining me.

I have been making videos about the mind lately and that's because that is the message I get from the Spirit. Yes, I get messages from the Spirit. These days it happens anywhere and everywhere. I am receptive to the Spirit of God and willing for God to use me for His glory.

Your mind is your life. If your mind be filled with chaos, your life will express chaos. I have learned many ways to clear and stop Satanic attacks from coming to my mind and one of such ways is speaking the Word of God out loud. You may have a negative thought like "this might be the end of you," you counter it by saying "I am more than a conqueror." You may have thoughts like "you're a failure." You counteract it by saying "I am a victor." You have to become conscious of the type of thoughts you entertain.

Any thought that has fear in it, is not of God. God has not given you the Spirit of fear but of love and power and a sound mind. Start seeing yourself like God sees you. God in you is Omnipotent. Until you start seeing yourself as Omnipotent because of the God in you, you will allow the enemy mess with you every time.

I believe more people need to be taught to train their minds. There are evil forces always operating to control your life by controlling your mind. You have the power to stop all of that. 

If you are feeling like you are not good enough right now, I am here to tell you that you are more than good enough. If you were the only one needing a savior, Jesus would've still come for you. You matter. Don't let circumstance and people kick your butt anymore. Start speaking life over yourself. Start asking your Angels to fight for you and protect you from negative spirits.

It is very important that you are aware of the type of thoughts that come through your mind. Anytime you are not feeling good, check your thoughts. The fastest way to change your thoughts is to start giving thanks to God for His goodness in the time past. Think of something and start giving thanks for it.

I pray that the light of God shields you from demonic thought transfers in Jesus Name. Amen!!!

With gratitude,

Maryam

IT MIGHT HAPPEN TODAY

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're all having a great day today and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you all for joining me.

I was just pondering a thought a while ago. It's about your deepest desires or even something you really really want to happen or experience. Yes, that pressing desire that you would really love to achieve. Don't be afraid of it and don't accept that it won't happen, because it might even happen today.

When you are going after something you have never had before, it can be a scary thought but see fear as a motivation not a discouragement. See, I believe that you can have anything you want but you need to believe it and keep focusing on it, joyfully. As humans, we tend to give up on things we have no idea how we could achieve and instead, go after things that we know how to achieve.

The only way we stretch and grow is by going after territories and things we've never had or been before. I have studied many books and listened to many people who have achieved amazing things in life. One thing stands out to me about them. They all still proceeded in the direction of their dreams in spite of their fear and doubt. I believe life is a beautiful journey. We truly make this journey what we want it to be. However, if we are afraid of taking risks or moving towards our goals in spite of our fears, we will not truly experience life like we were meant to.

So, no matter what your dream may be, you've got to keep moving towards it. Trust that God will guide you in the right direction and assist you in accomplishing your goals.

Let me leave you with this quote by Will Smith "the first step is you have to say that you can."

You can achieve your dreams. I believe in you. Now go!

PARIS ON MY MIND TONIGHT

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're all having an amazing evening and not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you all for joining me.

So, Paris, France has been on my mind lately. I have just been thinking about how lovely it would be to take my kids to Paris for a week-long vacation. I think it's going to be really dope!

I love the idea of Paris for what it brings to my heart. When I think about Paris, I think about sweet love and cozy walks around the park. I also think about picnics and French food. I want some French breakfast right now 😔. It's been too long since I had some yummy French food.

You know, I might order some French food for me and my sweet babies soon. Perhaps, eating some French cuisine would give us a good fill of Paris before we actually make the trip in person.

Have you ever been to Paris? Do you live in Paris?

I am going to sing my song and dance my dance when I get to Paris. See, I said "when," because it will happen by God's grace.

I think Paris is an amazing city and I am an amazing mama jamma. It would definitely be a visit made in heaven lol...

I hope this post made you laugh. Whatever may be your desire, pursue it, see yourself living it up and watch God make it a reality. I'll make sure to share my food and experience of Paris with you in picture and videos when it happens.

Until next time...

Don't let anyone steal your joy!

With gratitude,

Maryam

NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're all having a great day and are not letting anyone or thing steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you for joining me.

No matter what you are currently going through, no matter how impossible it may seem. No matter how hard you've tried and how stubborn the situation may be, you will get through it. It will get better. Your life will not remain here. You simply can't and won't stay in the tunnel forever. This valley season, will not be the end of you. Life will transform. I mean YOUR life will transform. Just like the butterfly doesn't start out as a butterfly but as a caterpillar, you're only training for your wings. God can't and won't let you stay where people and circumstance have left you.

You will get out of this and look back a few hours from now and thank God that He is the God of the valley as He is the God of the mountains. Life will get better for you. I know it! This post is your sign that you've just entered a whole new season of breakthroughs!

The only constant I know in this universe is change! You know what this tells me? You are just going through a season that won't last forever. Thank God because He has the power to change any season. You may have been in this season too long. I got good news for you. You have come to the end of this season. You have earned your wings. God is about to take you places and give you blessings you've never dreamed of before.

You deserve every bit of it. Embrace it and dance in it baby! You are about to see and experience a whole new level of breakthrough that will put all your enemies to shame. 

Let me leave you with this quote by Neville Goddard "Sleep is the door into heaven. What you take in as a feeling you bring out as a condition, action, or object in space. So sleep in the feeling of the wish fulfilled."

Tonight, before you go to sleep, give thanks to God for answering your prayers and changing every difficult season to one of celebration. Feel the new season and hear the sound of congratulations and songs of victory in your ears. Wakeup with the sound of victory in your ears. God truly has got you.

I pray for you, that my God will show forth and show out for you in great and amazing ways in Jesus Name. Amen!

With gratitude,

Maryam

WOMEN WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're having a great day today and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you for checking out my blog today.

Le'Veon came after I lost my first child. He is my Rainbow baby💙😇

Have you ever lost a child and are still crying and heartbroken from it? Are you desiring to have a child after a loss? Do you have a heavy burden on your heart after that loss? I hear you. I see you and I have been there. I want to tell you that everything will be alright. The heaviness in your heart will not always be there. A time will come when it won't hurt as much and you'll be able to smile again.

Today, my hands are heart are full with two amazing babies.

I am believing God that you will smile again. You will be blessed again and your heart will be full again. God knows how to restore and give you more than you lost. Hey sis, that loss you experienced is actually gain. God is getting ready to fill your nest with amazing babies. I really want you to believe it. When you begin to look to God and trust that He's not going to leave you empty, you better get ready. 

There's about to be cries of babies, heard from your nest, mama. Your life is about to make a new turn. You're about to start buying diapers and getting sleepless nights, from caring for your little Angels. God is about to give you double for your trouble, sis. Are you ready? 'Cos they are coming. He did it for me. I know you are next. He will do it for you.

Here's what I want you to do: get ready! Start seeing yourself carrying your healthy baby. Visualize yourself staying up at night feeding your baby. Start imagining yourself doing the things that other mothers with babies tell you that they do for their babies. What you don't want to do is focus on the loss. See, the plan of the enemy is to get you to focus on the loss and start asking God why it had to happen to you. God is never the bringer or doing of bad things. 

Every difficulty and challenge we experience, is an opportunity for God to show forth His power. You may have lost a child, but you are about to gain twins. Lift up your eyes and stay focused on God's promises for you. The Word of God says in Psalm 127:3 " Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him."  

Don't watch shows or read books about how to cope with loses. Those materials only keep you in a negative mood and depressed. You want to read books and watch programs about children and how to handle babies and parenting. You want your mind to be focused on being a mother. See yourself as a mother and spend time with other mothers with children. I promise, you will carry your babies.

When the thought comes to remind you of your loss, affirm the promises of God to yourself. "I am a mother of nations." "My children call me blessed."

As you do this, you will see the glory of God manifest in your life.

I pray for you, today. May God grant your heart desires like He did mine, In Jesus Name. Amennn

WALMART HAS JUST GAINED MORE MOMMAS ON THEIR CORNER

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're having a great day, today and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day! Thank you for joining me.

Yesterday, my kids and I went to Walmart to shop like we always do. Guess how pleased I was to notice the new breastfeeding moms station located at the back of the store? I was so pleased that I had to take a picture in front of it and share with everyone of you. I think this gesture by Walmart is a big one. It shows that they recognize and support breastfeeding mommas and mothers in general. They want to make feeding and pumping, one less thing for shopping mothers to have to worry about. 

Thank you Walmart for such a kind gesture.

I am a breastfeeding advocate. I breastfed both my children and encourage more women to do the same. It is a beautiful thing to nurse your babies because the best nutrition you could give your infants is your milk. Your milk changes as your child grown to meet his/her needs. You bond with your children that way and set the foundation for sweetness between you and your babies.

With gratitude,

Maryam

IT WILL ALL WORK OUT FOR YOU

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're having an amazing day, today and are not allowing anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you for joining me.

This is an inspired post just to remind you that everything will be alright. Whatever may be your current situation, no matter how hard it may be, I want you to remember this: You will come out of it. Things will get better. You will thrive and dance in gratitude. I want to be the first to congratulate you on your beautiful life. I know it may sound crazy that I am saying this to you. Trust me, I know why I'm saying this. You are stronger than that situation and greater than the haters. Get ready to see the haters become your cheerleaders. 

God is about to turn your life around. Everything is about to shift BIG TIME for you. This is what I believe will happen to you.

Though the weapons may have been formed, they won't prosper. You have already overcome that situation.

God has not brought you this far to abandon you. You're just building muscle baby! You're getting ready for your next level. Please don't let your mind be filled with the current suffering. In stead, focus on where you'd rather be. Give thanks for where you'd rather be. 

In my experience, the more I have stayed focused on the pain, the more pain I created for myself. But when I shifted my focus to the present and God's faithfulness, things began to shift for me.

You're valuable to God and truly, God hasn't left you without help.

I pray that you breakthrough and shine brighter than a diamond in Jesus Name. Amen!

With gratitude,

Maryam
