The Stretching

This is the introduction to the 31-Day guided devotional . Each day we’ll reflect on scripture, speak powerfulaffirmations, and pray together as you become who God created you to be.

In this episode of Totally Affirmed, I felt compelled to read an insert from the book "As I Am; Totally Affirmed". This is a few passages from the Chapter "In Pursuit of Happiness". I think happiness is something that we all pursue in some shape, form or fashion. Something in our lives shaped the way we see happiness and our definition of what happiness truly is. As children we have such a huge imagination and we expect for our whole lives to go according to plans but what happens when our definition of happiness doesn't meet up with real life?

Sidebar: Have you ever felt that you are being pulled beyond your capacity? Have you ever felt like you just couldn’t take it anymore! Have you ever felt like your back was against the wall and you wanted to give up? Well this sidebar is for you this morning! The stretching; take a listen. I hope this blesses you as it did me. 🙏

Have you ever had a time where you were talking to someone and right in mid sentence a thought drops in your mind that you just can’t wait to say! I call that a sidebar; something I can’t hold on to for too long or I might lose it. Something that need to be said RIGHT NOW! Lol. Well this is something I had to release RIGHT NOW! So, tune in periodically so you can catch Totally Affirmed’s sidebar episodes hot off the press!

It is said that you become what you do! Hmm do you think that is true? Well today we will start the conversation on routine and being creatures of habit!  You will be given tips that you can start TODAY! 

We are living in a time where people like to do everything but bloom where they are planted. We must know that there is a lot of things that come along with staying in our own lanes and activating the talents that we hold in our own hands.  Tune in today where we will be talking about how to stay in our own lanes. 

We are constantly going through seasons in our lives. When one season ends another season begins. We cannot escape our seasons neither should be try to. To every season there is purpose and there is a plan. We should sit in our seasons, understand which season we are in and learn what we need to learn while we are there. We should continue to speak life in every season that we are in and walk victoriously on through to the next one.  Thank you for tuning in today! Be Blessed!

Today we learn the importance of setting boundaries and steps to setting those said boundaries. If you have ever had to set boundaries you know it doesn't feel good for many reasons. If you have had a problem with setting boundaries I hope that you won't after today's episode!  "Setting boundaries is an important part of establishing one’s identity and is a crucial aspect of mental health and well-being. Boundaries can be physical or emotional, and they can range from being loose to rigid, with healthy boundaries often falling somewhere in between." ~ Joaquín Selva, Bc.S., Psychologist

Join us today where our affirmations will be geared towards PEACE!  How many of you know that if you don’t have peace nothing else in your life is peaceful? When a person is disturbed in one area of their lives, 9 times out of 10 they are disturbed in most every area in their lives. We must regulate our minds in peace; in order to maintain calmness and peacefulness in the rest of our lives. Phil 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
