Why We Be Tryin’ To Explain?

YES is also a complete sentence! I’m learning that I don’t always have to justify or explain myself. Most folks just aren’t that interested in our reasons or in our reasoning. So free yourself and keep it movin’ with the joy of the Lord! We can say YES with a smile and the love of Christ! #PermissionGranted #ButIWasACommunicationsMajor #SouthernBelle

“But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”

The Guilt-Free NO

It took me decades (literally) to learn this lesson, but when I finally internalized it, I was empowered: NO is a complete sentence. #unapologetic #ButIWasACommunicationsMajor

If you’re honest with yourself, you probably can’t count the times you’ve SAID one thing with your mouth, but really felt a different way on the inside. Or am I really the only one?!? Today, let’s walk in the light of TRUTH and cut out the inner conflict, guilt, remorse, resentment, and angst. We can say NO with the love of Christ! #PermissionGranted

And Again I Say

Once more for good measure; I’m saying it a third time until we EMBRACE it for ourselves…

Sometimes we say YES to ourselves by saying NO to something (or someone) else. Conversely, sometimes we say NO to ourselves by saying YES to something (or someone) else. #Simplify&Streamline

This Bears Repeating

Nope, you’re not seeing double; I’m saying it AGAIN until we believe it for ourselves…

Sometimes we say YES to ourselves by saying NO to something (or someone) else. Conversely, sometimes we say NO to ourselves by saying YES to something (or someone) else. #Simplify&Streamline

Today I Say YES to ME

Sometimes we say YES to ourselves by saying NO to something (or someone) else. Conversely, sometimes we say NO to ourselves by saying YES to something (or someone else). #Simplify&Streamline #Unapologetic #SelfCareIsNOTselfish

Today, how can you say YES to yourself in a way that pleases God? Drop me a comment!

Be Intentionally Selective

Sometimes we say YES to ourselves by saying NO to something (or someone) else. As a recovering people-pleaser (read more about PPD – People Pleasing Disorder), I’m learning to proactively practice setting healthy boundaries. Some days I do better honoring those boundaries than others! Choosing to intentionally “say yes to nothing else” for a given timeframe helps me filter out unnecessary commitments – or at least identify them. Then I’m in a better position to handle what’s already on my plate. #Simplify&Streamline #Unapologetic #SelfCareIsNOTselfish

I’d love for you to drop me a comment to share how you choose wisely between priorities that compete for your time, energy, and focus! Blessings, Kayren

The Transformed Mind

Transform means to CHANGE to another state…so why hold onto the past? #LetItGo #BeTransformed

“21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”

(Ephesians 4:21-24)

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

(Romans 12:1-2)

Let It GO

Why do we try to hold onto the old, when God has better for us? #LetItGo #NotWorthKeeping #BetterIsComing #GodProvides

“Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is your’s.”

(Genesis 45:20)

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,”

(Hebrews 12:1)
