I WAS PREGNANT AND DIDN'T KNOW IT

 

Throwback from when Zoe was cooking in my oven.

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you well. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you for checking out my blog today. I hope this weekend is your best yet.

I was pregnant with anger, resentment, fear, worry, anxiety and comparison but did not know it. For years, I wondered why things were not happening the way I wanted. I prayed, gave money to prophets and pastors but it was always like my sin were too deep for God to forgive me so I had to suffer. This continued until I decided to seek God's face differently. How long and how many times do I need to ask for mercy for things to change for the better? 

After all, compared to some people I knew and had heard of, I was a saint! Why did I keep hearing these so called prophets talk about sin and forgiveness.

Well, the unanswered prayers and recurring pain led me to discover God for me. I found out that the more I focused on what was not working for me, the more of that I had. It led me to become mindful of where I focused. God NEVER keeps good things from me, I keep myself from accessing God's good by harboring all sorts of negative energies. These negative emotions are stored up in the Solar plexus area and build up like pregnancy. This pregnancy gives birth to more of the same negative cycles. 

Right now, I can gladly say that since I started meditating and focus on the things I want and the goodness of God, I am no longer controlled by my solar plexus. I have no use for negative energies. 
I acknowledge that God is good and all that I want is already available to me. Now, I just raise my vibration in gratitude and connect to the good I want. Giving thanks that I already have it and expect it to show up by God's grace. The good news is, it always shows up! 

Truly God's ways are beyond finding out. His Grace abounds for us all.

Don't let anyone steal your joy!

Operate in LOVE always!

I AM CAREFUL NOW HIRING PEOPLE ONLINE

 


Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this meets you well. Thank you for checking out Maryamsjoyfullife today. We are very happy that you are here. Today is a wonderful to blog and I wanted to share something important with those who are thinking about applying to work for me.

So I am hiring for work from home positions and I have made a few hiring posts on Facebook and the reason why I am so hesitant in following up with application is because most of the people who I have followed up with are not serious about it. They believe it is child's play and I am tired of it.

Right now, I am not in the place to convince people to take opportunities they do not want or are not ready for. There are many steps involved in the process of getting to work from home and they are all very important. I have discovered that most people want opportunities but do not want to pay the price. There is studying involved and background checks and technical checks. It can be frustrating but it is all part of the process. So, while I am still open to hiring, I am not ready to babysit grown people. I am only looking for people who are ready and want to put in the work and time it requires to secure the opportunities that I am offering. 

To those of you still looking for opportunities, please visit https://www.ariseworkfromhome.com/client-opportunities/  for more information. When you have all of your information and want to be under an Independent Business like mine, reach out and I will be more than happy to see if you are a great fit.

FEELING OVERWHELMED AND I DID THIS

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this post meets you well. Today is a beautiful day. Today is the start of the work week and I wanted to share a recent experience with you. I hope that you find inspiration in this one.

So I was feeling overwhelmed and stuck and knew I needed to get out of the house to shake off that feeling. Then I decided to go check on the dining set I had put money down on. I got my kids ready,  got into the car and drove off to American Signature Furniture. The moment I got there, I felt better because I was looking at different furniture and beautiful arrangements. It was a whole new  atmosphere and I noticed a difference in my energy level. The more I walked around in the store, the better I felt.

Here is what I have learned about changing your energy; whenever you feel stuck, go for a walk, take a drive or exercise. Whatever you do, just don't sit there. The reason for this is because when energy becomes stale or stagnant, depression comes in. You don't want to get to a place where you feel stuck because that is where negativity sets in. Life is about movement and energy is everything. If your energy is low, your interest rate is low. By interest I mean your inspiration or desire to live joyfully is low. If your desire is to feel energized, inspired and joyful, the moment you perceive that you are feeling stuck, get up and do something about it. Go for a walk, exercise or go to your favorite store. 

I felt better when I got home. Here's something else I do when I feel stuck, I open the doors and windows in my house to let fresh air come in. If you don't want to go out, opening your doors and windows will change the energy in your house and you will feel better.

HE DIED FOR THREE DAYS AND GOD BROUGHT HIM BACK

 


Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you well. Today is a beautiful day. It is always a privilege to share with you on maryamsjoyfullife blog.

Today, I want to tell you about Lazarus from the book of John 11. See Lazarus was sick and the situation was getting worse by the hour. Lazarus was a friend of Jesus and his sisters sent the news to Jesus so he could come by and heal their brother. They thought that since Jesus loved Lazarus, Jesus would come by in a hurry to heal him before the worse happened. Though Jesus loved Lazarus as he does everyone of us, he didn't show up when the sisters and everyone expected him to.

Lazarus died and had been buried for three days before Jesus came to the scene. In the Jewish culture at the time; from what I have heard ministers say, if someone has died for three days, it is impossible for them to come back to life again. So, when Jesus showed up on the scene, everyone who was mourning said if he had been there earlier, Lazarus would not have died but now it was too late. When Lazarus's sister heard that Jesus had arrived, she went to him and said it was too late, if only he had been there while he was still alive, Jesus would've been able to heal him. Jesus told her that if she believed, she would see the glory of God. 

To cut the story short, Jesus asked them to roll away the stone at Lazarus's tomb and the he called out in a loud voice "Lazarus, come forth." And Lazarus came out in his grave clothes. He then asked them to lose him and let him go. The one who had been dead, was brought back to life again. 

You may currently be in what may seem like a dead situation but I dare you to believe that even right now, God is working in that situation to bring it to life again. Surrender that situation to God and declare that it is now a living situation. God is always with us. Even when it seems like we are alone, God is right there with us.

I encourage you to keep your faith alive and speak life over any seemingly dead situation in your life. I believe and declare in the Name of Jesus Christ Lazarus come forth!
