Day 2: Managing Anger</h2>
<div>
Probably my favorite thing about these devotions was that I never knew what would be reveled to me, and even now as I go over my notes and scriptures again, what I'll have found since then. On this day I got a lot of confirmation that everything I had been going through was only to make me stronger, which I know is so very cliche BUT yet and still very true! Many times we can grow weary of holing on to that peace that God wants us to have and we take comfort in being angry, sad,</div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In high school a big problem for me used to be anger, I would get so upset over what I felt like was people "trying me" that I just had to prove that I was NOT the one to be tried! This created so many problems for me as though I could always huff and puff the loudest, I would always end up suspended from school, disappointing my parents or even worse the problem would just continue to a greater degree. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the end of the day the big bad wolf never gets the pigs, and I had to realize through many chaotic situations and two years of anger management classes that anger is really weakness. You have such a lack of control over your emotions that you let someone else drive you to the point of stepping out of your peace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I discovered how uncanny it is to approach people with an overwhelming sense of understanding and fairness. Most of the time arguments, anger and feelings of distress can be diffused with time and guidance. And who better to guide you than the lord.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://data.whicdn.com/images/190812916/large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Managing Anger" border="0" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/190812916/large.jpg" height="400" title="" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The truth is these feelings of bitterness, negativity, and resentment are not of the lord. They are in fact the direct opposite. When you hold hate in your heart towards someone to the point where is causes you to gossip (look for others to join you), and wish harm, ask yourself this; Is God smiling or is the devil?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Joyce Meyer has a phenomenal sermon on bitterness vs wholeness where she addresses praying for your enemies even if your not sure you really want God to bless them. I love Joyce Meyer because she is candid aka she keeps it real, God knows praying for our enemies isn't something we necessarily take joy in doing, but forgiveness can only bring you peace, and hating them can only keep you down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DPFvjnFiFQ0/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DPFvjnFiFQ0?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All in all anger is weakness, it causes you to talk bad about people, it evokes feelings of distain and keeps our prayers in a box. So I challenge you now, to write down every person that gives you that UGH feeling when you picture them in your head or hear their name. Be truly honest with yourself, even if the list gets long and think of an honest prayer you can send there way. If they have an mean spirit pray for unexpected kindness to come there way, if they have stolen from you, pray that God blesses them with a spirit of giving. Transform your enemies into recipients of your prayers and God will transform your ashes into beauty. #DBTAE </div>

Introducing a New Series: Avoiding the Apple</h2>
So, as I mentioned last week I started doing devotions every morning for 7 days straight, and they have greatly improved my heart, mind, and sprit. I used various methods for my devotion all of which offered me great bible verses, food for thought, and practical plans of action that I felt instead of moving on to Day 8, I should delve deeper and share here, as I listen to a little Smokie Norful Pandora.<br />

Day 1: Giving God the Best Fruits of Your Day </h3>

This is the video I began with, and I loved it because it made me ask myself some tough questions that needed to be at the forefront of Day 1.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Key Points </b></div>
<div>
1. Is God an afterthought or your first thought?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://data.whicdn.com/images/173777060/large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/173777060/large.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Many times we like to believe that because God "knows our heart" we don't have to do things like go to church or do devotion because we think about God all day or pray every night. BUT doing these things can only strengthen your walk and your heart. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Ask yourself, what do I spend most of my time doing? What do I look forward to doing when I first wake up, what is my routine? </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Give God a place in your daily, weekly and monthly routine. You may not like church , but there are plenty of sermons and scriptures online that you can use to help show yourself and God that he is first, and most important maybe even more so than just attending church.</li>
</ul>
<br />
2.What will you leave so your loved ones will know how to follow God when your gone?</div>
<div>

<li>As followers of Christ we take on the role of a parent, teacher, and friend. Meaning that what we do should be a reflection of what Christ ask us to do.</li>

<li>Helping bring others to him is the goal, so what will people say about you if you left today? </li>

<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: center;"><b>In Conclusion: Slow down and praise him daily</b></span></span></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
Giving God the best fruits of my day for me meant waking up early. The precious extra moments of sleep that I didn't really need but indulged in, are now spent with my heavenly father, and it helps me wake up better than any alarm or newscast ever could. </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe for you your best fruits are you breaks at work or the time in between your classes when you usually call a friend or get online. Maybe it's before bed when you watch Family Guy or listen to music, whatever it is, make sure it's truly your best because God will reward you and more importantly as I found, you will feel worth being rewarded.

Every time I've had a moment I felt the spirit was speaking to me I have thought "Dang I should share this on DBTAE" but I won't lay out a list of excuses of why that never happen, I will just say that I'm back.<br />

In the past year God has done so many dynamic things in my life, but I also have fallen back into old habits, distractions and sins that led me away from the lord and my work. Now as us faithful Christians know you will never lose the lord and all he taught you completely even when deep in sin, but that luke warmness is not what God wants to see, and now that I'm back on track I see how much more I could have accomplished had I been whole heartily submersed in his word.<br />

The video posted above is a small part of the daily devotion I have been doing every morning on my journey back to being red hot in the holy spirit. Joe of chasegod.tv is a true man of God! I enjoy his videos because they are candid and approach issues that many young people wonder about but could probably never as their parents and pastors. He keeps it real and remains in the teachings of the bible and not of his own thoughts.</div>
<br />
I have also been exploring a daily devotional video series by<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/inspiringyoutoday/videos" target="_blank"> Inspiring You Today</a>. Today I am on Day 7 and upon completing the final video I want to make a post with key points from each day to share with you all. Along with Joe, Inspiring You Today and of course a little gospel and tons of prayer, my daily devotion usually ends with a dynamic conference call that is truly changing lives.<br />

Coach Stormy Wellington, who is now the #1 Network Marketer in the wold created this call and began with I believe 12 people and now the numbers have reached the 800's. The company that has allowed her to see so much success is called Total Life Changes, and they sell teas, diet supplements and things along those lines, but her morning call has nothing to do with pushing the company (I'm not a member his is not a secret plug lol) but everything to do with getting up in your face and making you ask yourself why am I not successful yet and serious calls to action in order to get out of your own way.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be sharing more and more about the things I do during my morning devotions, but I just had to come today and let everyone know that I am back. God has given me a big task to prepare for (I'll share soon) along with running my businesses, completing my final year at FAMU, Oh and I also work for Apple now, since I have started giving God the best fruits of my day things have become a lot more clear and so much easier. I've been tested...a couple time lol but I can only imagine how I would have came out had I not been on this path.</div>

How are you? I hope everyone is as happy to see
the 7<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> month of the year as me, I just decided after reading a blog
post about eating more ice cream as a July goal, (its national ice cream
month), that I needed to make some goals for this month!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This month is big for me because it’s the 7
month of the year, which means half of the year is behind us, and my website had
been up and running for that long as well. It brings me so much joy to work on
both my site and this blog regularly, and though sometimes it ca be a bit
stressful collecting interviews, doing follow-ups, designing, promoting and just
plain thinking about this brand that I call my business, in the end I know that
it’s worth it, and it’s what God has given me the heart and mind to do.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Recently I decided to try to push my website into an upswing
being that it’s the second half of the year, and these include various things;
selling hookah, more blogging, video updates, and one thing I am very excited yet nervous
about beginning and that is a modeling agency to accompany our hookah sales. I
have been researching a lot on this matter, praying, mediating, and asking for
advice from all angles, and at some points I felt like I should just scrap the
whole idea because it would just be too much work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mean how I could be
getting so worked up about a simple idea, that hasn’t even yet come into form
just imagine what it will be like if I actually start planning and spending!
All of the various reasons to give up on my dream for right now seemed to make
a lot of sense, but something in my head kept telling me, that I can do it. And
once I meditating, prayed some more, and just relaxed a little, I realized that
I don’t need to stress about the who, what, when where or why, but just remaining
at peace about the whole situation and remember is that god gave me this
mission “All girls are Pretty. All girls are worth it. All Girls should know
it.” So with this truly being the mission, as long as I touch at least one
young woman, I can never say I failed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My future is something I plan for constantly, especially
when it involves my business pursuits. It’s like the one thing I allow myself
to worry about from time to time, but in the end worrying only seems to make me
feel uneasy, and with or without this anxious ness, God makes a way for it all
to happen. Remaining at peace has been a goal of mind for some time, and it
takes me back t a quote I heard on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday, “When you’re worrying
about the past, you are suffering. When you are worrying about the future you
are anxious. When you are living in today, you are at peace.” And isn’t that
all we really ever want to be? It is for me at least.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I’ve come across this funny meme a number of times
on Instagram and Facebook, and every time it gets an overwhelming amount of likes
and amen’ s the reason most likely stemming from the fact that at some point or
another we all encounter someone we spend a good amount of energy pouring out
advice to, only to have them turn around and make the exact misguided decision
that you warned of. This can be very frustrating especially when dealing with
people you care about like friends or family but I’ve come up with a few things
to consider to ease the stress of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>dealing
with a total ask hole.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

you don’t need to be trying to manage anyone else’s life but your own, unless
it’s your child or employee. As an advisor your only job is to give this person
just that “advice” this doesn’t necessarily mean that they will take it or not,
but just the fact that you gave them the option should be enough to leave you
satisfied. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

out is by trying it for themselves and either failing or succeeding. Advice can
come from a million different places but in the end only one person can make
the final decision, and once they do their only ones who will live with them so
hopefully they chose what made them happiest.</span><br />

advice should be to lead the person to what’s best in the long run, but also
what makes them happy, and no one can determine that happiness but them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I had a unique
experience in the lovely city of Fort Collins, Colorado, where I am so blessed
to be interning for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the
chance to go the American Baptist Church and hear the lovely preaching of Mr. Bill
Prather. As like most new Church homes I encounter, I stumbled upon this church
in passing actually while taking a wrong turn past our Colorado State
University dorm and decided to give it a try this Sunday since my Church home
is also Baptist. While I will say there are many differences between a
“Southern Baptist Church” and an “American Baptist Church” one being the short
and dare I say sweet length of service which was almost exactly one hour, the
word is the same wherever it is preached with a pure heart and open ears, and I </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">was blessed to be in the
house of such welcoming church members.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> </span></div>

all something that as Christians we must engrain into our daily doctrine. As
children of God we must learn on him for our understanding and want to be
filled with the power of the Holy Ghost just as the people in the scripture,
because it will never lead us in the wrong direction. God Bless you for reading

I know that's not good, but I also know my God understands. We do speak regularly and I have made it a daily habit to spend time in meditation reflecting and allowing him to guide me on my next path as well as work out some issues that could only be the result of my own mind trying to find solutions on it's own. I know how important it is to not forsake the assembly of the church, but if you've been like me lately and have not made it I'd just like to remind you that it's much more important to have a continual relationship with our father, rather than just the one on Sunday Mornings. So don't feel so bad, Daddy understands :) </span><br />

Anyhoo, my upcoming internship in Fort Collins, Colorado is swiftly approaching, I'll be working in the communications department of the USDA. Everyone keeps asking me if I'm excited, and of course I am happy and oh so blessed for this opportunity, but for some reason, I cannot identify with the specific word "excited." Usually for me excited mean, anxious, the feeling of "Oh I just can't wait",but now a days since I've been practicing being at peace, I also have a constant reminder in the form of a tattoo on my right forearm, I can't seem to feel excited anything more than the next.</span><br />

Nowadays it seems like everything excites me. Th simple joys of life are what I draw my happiness from. Every breath I take is exciting, every smell I smell is exciting, every color I see, every texture I feel, and every move I make is exciting. The problem for me in the past has been that I was always waiting for the next big thing to make me feel happy. The issue with that is, once it comes and passes, I would just be left waiting for something new. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
<br />
The journey of being at peace for someone like me, who constantly has 1,000 thoughts and plans and to do list trapped in her brain, is to just be still. To be happy with nothing to do, to not be worried about the things I do have to do, and to not plan 21 more thing for myself to do before I can be happy. God has opened so many doors for me, that I never even knew I had the key to, so I figure if God is in control, maybe I should just sit back and enjoy not having to drive. </span><br />

When I am finally in Colorado I do believe that I'll feel excited, I've never seen this place before besides in pictures, I'll be staying at Colorado State University, working at a new job, making money, meeting people and doing all sorts of cool and "exciting" things. But until I get there, I'm just excited to be right here, in Orlando,Fl, smelling my mom cooking fried chicken in the kitchen, being surrounded by my crazy family, seeing palm trees that will soon be mountains, being at peace, and thanking God for blessing me with it.</span><br />

Fierce troubles came down on the people of those churches, pushing them to the very limit. The trial exposed their true colors: They were incredibly happy, though desperately poor. The pressure triggered something totally unexpected: an outpouring of pure and generous gifts. I was there and saw it for myself. They gave offerings of whatever they could—far more than they could afford!—pleading for the privilege of helping out in the relief of poor Christians.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So here's my new thing :)</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm trying to keep my Sunday’s very grounded and clear, as it is a day of rest. Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday is one of the things that help keep that going, as well as the melodious tunes of Order my Steps station on Pandora. I think an important part
of going to church, at least for me, is reflecting on the word so that I can
find out how God wants me to apply it to my life. This lead me to start
blogging about the message from whatever church I attend, currently Fountain Chapel
A.M.E in Tallahassee, Fl under Pastor Marque D. Woodard. But I am a member of
Mt. Siani Missionary Baptist Church in Orlando, Fl. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Jesus,
undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “<span style="color: #943634;">God
authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you
meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the
threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the
practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day
after day after day, right up to the end of the age.</span>”</span></i></div>

about being a disciple for Christ and realizing that he gives us the power to
create other disciples for God through HIS NAME.</span></div>

disciple…</span></h4>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1.Operate under the

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>2.Realize it is not about
YOU.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .15in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-
Say you name…now say Jesus name, there is POWER in the NAME of Jesus, not in
you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .15in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-Popularity,
prosperity and recognition should all be in the glory of God and not personal
gain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .15in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-Who
are you and I but sinners in the eyesight of the lord? Be at peace with all of
Gods people he created us equally.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3. Teaching goes beyond
church</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .15in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-We
must touch the people that do not come into the house of the lord with the
message of the lord.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .15in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-We

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .15in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This
Sunday’s message meant to me that I must always have my heart and mind focused
on the mission of <b>creating disciples </b>and <b>being a disciple of Jesus Christ</b>, so
that <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>temptation</b></span>, <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">destruction</span></b>, and <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>adversity</b></span> <u><i>may not throw me off the path to my

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">What if Eve had never bit the apple?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">What if we still lived in the Garden, with no knowledge if Evil or Sin?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">If Eve had never bit the apple life would be much different.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">We'd live in Paradise amongst the animals</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">No Pain. No Evil. No sin. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Oh but how enticing the Tree of Life must of been.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Forbidden Fruit taste so much sweeter,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Or so we'd like to believe, Or so Satan whispers to us, as he whispered to eve...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">No one Knows how life would be </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">If Eve never bit that Apple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">If the Snake never told her sweet lies of what could be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">If Adam never did the same</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">If they had just listened to God.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Obeyed his ONE Rule</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">And remained in the Garden,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">In paradise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">God Knows, but he knows everything else as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">He knew she would bite that apple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">He knew the snake would slither his way into her thoughts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Clouding her mind.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Making her want to Sin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">He also see's you bite that apple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Every time you think a mean thought.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> Every time you tell a lie.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Every time you Sin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">God knows that were not perfect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">He sees the snakes around us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">He knows that sometimes we'll give in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">So he Sacrificed his son for us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">So that every time we do bite the Apple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">We can be born again.</span></div>
