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

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

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

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

Seed Sowing vs. Consuming

Sow Seed Fri. 10-2

Don’t consume your seed – sow it! NOW is the time to prepare for harvest…

Check out today’s fresh podcast episode and drop me a comment to let me know what you’ve enjoyed during this week’s power-filled podcasts! Blessings, Kayren 

Podcast episode: https://anchor.fm/kayren-cathcart/episodes/Seed-Sowing-vs–Consuming-e17shum 

Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.”

(Deuteronomy 28:38)

“In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.”

(Ecclesiastes 11:6)

“6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

(Isaiah 55:6-13)
