LE'VEON IS SIX YEARS OLD TODAY!!!

 

Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Thank you for checking out my blog today. It is a beautiful day and I am grateful for this day. My son is six today. What?! I am so grateful for this day. My life changed for the better when Le'Veon came into my life that beautiful early morning on May the 4th 2016. I am forever changed and grateful! God is good.

Le'Veon brought joy and sweetness into my life when he made his grand entrance 6 years ago and I am forever changed and grateful for it. I remember dedicating him to God after he came out of my belly and askign God to shield him and use him for His Glory. Today, I am so grateful because I see God's hand on Le'Vy and I couldnt be more grateful. God does answer prayers. I have seen the goodness of God in my life since becoming a mom again after losing my first child. I have seen God move mountains, crush devils and open new doors for me. I am so thankful!

I have complee trust and faith in God because just looking at my son, it is a reminder of God's faithfulness! Le'Veon is handsome, very smart, loving, happy, intelligent, genius and amazing. I know he will change the world. God our creator will use him for His glory. Le'Veon is greatness personified.

REVEALING THE SECRET THAT WAS HIDDEN FROM US

 

Good morning 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. You guys are so amazing!

In today's blog, I want to share a secret that has been hidden from us. I have talked about this many times before but it seemed as though not many people got the message and quite frankly, I love talking, studying and reading about this secret. Mind is creative! You are the sum total of the thoughts you think all day long. Your belief is a thought you think over and over again. Your life is an expression of your belief.

For most of my life, I was manipulated into believing that you have to work hard for God's favor. You have to slave and allow yourself  be everybody's door mat in order to gain God's favor. Serving God, was not sweet or appealing while living under those beliefs. It made serving God a chore and life was a constant struggle endured for the purpose of going to Heaven. Yet, even in this ignorant state, I observed the people who preached such messages of doom, enjoy the good things in life, while  encouraging others to accept the doom because "that is the sacrifice children of God have to make in order to make Heaven."

These same preachers, I would watch them celebrate the rich people who would make large donations to their churches and that was so contradictory to their doctrine. How can you celebrate the rich and their gifts on one hand and on the other hand, encourage the majority of the congregation to accept poverty and lack for the sake of making Heaven. Y'all, I don't know about you but I started thinking and reading my Bible more. The more I have read the Bible, the more perplexed I am. There's no place in the Bible where poverty is the portion of the children of God. The Bible clearly states in Matthew 6:33 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

What does "all" mean? All means all! It means health, wealth, love, and perfect self-expression. We live in a thought world. The world is full of manipulators and control freaks. You find them in spiritual organizations and pulpits and also in the market places. Know thyself! Everyone is trying to control you by making you afraid. Let me tell you why they have succeeded up until now, because you allowed them access to your mind. They come up with their negative images and stared up an emotion in you, the emotion puts your body in a certain vibration and then you start attracting the bad things that they presented to you. See, your energy flows where your attention goes. Start focusing on the joy you want and you will start experiencing it. Start focusing on the riches you want and you will receive it. Take back control over your life and let the devil's agents burn in their own hell.

God has already given you ALL things! Let's make a decision today to claim it with our mental pictures as well as our actions. 

Don't let anyone steal your joy!

WHEN GOD SEEMS FAR AWAY|| HE IS NOT

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 steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you for checking out my blog today. 

Have you ever felt like God was far away from you? Have you ever prayed so hard and got exhausted from the prayers but still felt like God was far away? I have and I understand  how it  feels, if you're currently experiencing that type of situation.

God is never far from you. God is always a prayer away. The reason you feel like God is far is because of the attachment you have to the flesh or senses. You have been so focused on the logic and facts that your senses see and have separated yourself from the presence of God. By separating, I don't mean cut yourself off. I mean you have filled your mind and spirit with the distractions of the outside world and allowed what is not real to become real to you,  to the point where you are overwhelmed and can't be still enough to experience God in that moment.

God will never leave us nor forsake us. We allow distractions to fill the space in us where God dwells and become afraid of the shadows of falsehood we created. God is always a prayer away. I have learned to just be quiet and go into stillness, with my eyes shut, whenever I feel like God is far away. I find out every time this happens, it is because I am trying too hard to fix or control everything or I am trying to please people.

We can't please people and God at the same time. No matter how hard we try, people will never 100% agree with us. So, we need to learn to be present and focused more on what God wants us to do. If our hearts are stayed on God and we delight ourselves in Him, loving people would be natural to us. You and I have to come to terms with the fact that we WILL NEVER BE ACCEPTED 100% by people and that is OKAY!

What we should concern ourselves with anyways is the fact that God cares and approves of us. It is utter suffering living life to please people. I have made up my mind and renew my mind each day, that I will focus on pleasing God and not people. My peace is very important to me and in order for me to enjoy it, I have to focus on God.

I hope this inspired you in some way. 

Thank you for reading my blog.

With gratitude,

Maryam

I WAS FEELING LIKE THE WALLS WERE CLOSING IN ON ME

 

It's 6:00 AM and I'm by the Lake ready to pray and meditate

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

So, the last few days I had felt clouded in my head and around me. The Spirit was speaking to me and I felt like I was being defiant. I had being thinking about my new work schedule and a few other business ventures I have stepped into and the more I thought about them, the more this dark cloud filled my space. Being as spiritually sensitive as I am, I knew that I had to get out in nature and pray and meditate.

Sometimes, when you are confused and indecisive, the outdoors are calling. The best way to clear your mind and dispel the darkness is by getting out in nature and breathing in that sweet and clear fresh air.

So, I woke up at 6:00 AM and drove to the park. I went to the lakeside, surrounded by nature and began to pray to my Heavenly Father. I thanked Him for all that He's done for me and protected me from. I just began to flow in the Spirit because that's my ground and I can't get enough of the Spirit. My very existence depends on the Spirit of God.

I surrendered all that had been bothering me and all of my and desires to God. I told God that I am aware of His presence and guidance in my life and that I want Him to take absolute charge of my very existence and journey here on earth. I talked to God as both my Father and my Savior.

I didn't care that there were people jogging and exercising around me. I was focused on my Father and that's how I always want to be. I don't want to live my life worrying about what people think or expect of me. At this moment, it is obvious to me and all who follow me that God is with me. That's all I really care about. In caring about how my Heavenly Father sees me and wants of me, I naturally am able to do for others what I would love them to do for me.

As I walked around the Lake praying, I could feel the heaviness move away and my mind refocused. It was as if a heavy load had just been lifted off of me and I have been lighter and more joyful since that day.

After my prayer and surrender to God, I went for a run and I sprinted about 10X up the hill and it felt great! When I got done, I sat beside the hill and meditated. The people passing by might have thought I was crazy or weird, but to me, it didn't matter.

After me workout, I felt very refreshed...

Today, I want you to know that God is always near you. Going to an open space where it's just you and God, really does wonders to your mind and soul. Try it and see for yourself.

Coming back home to my sweet babies is always the best!

Thank you for reading my blog today. You're awesome!

With gratitude,

Maryam
