Earlier this week, motives came to my mind.

What is the intention in everything I do?

I was inspired by reading the book of proverbs when this very scripture caught my attention.

Yah Judges us from what we do from the inside not what seems good on the outside.

What are my motives/intentions:

-Think before I speak

-Serving

-Lifting Weights

-Growing my small business

-Taking care of myself at all levels

-Prayer

-Studying

-Making sure I keep my thoughts in line

-Taking things one step at a time

-Building for my legacy to have a good start.

etc…

Examining our motives will keep us in line. Living each moment with purpose and righteous intentions

Remembering~ We reap what we sow~

Have you ever experienced thoughts that are negative? Well, you are part of 99.9% of the world. The thing about us is that we entertain them instead of rebuking them.

This is why many people act on evil impulses like( stealing, coveting, fornication, deceiving people, envy, taking advantage of people, depression, cursing others, etc…

The enemy doesn’t have control over us only if we allow it. It all starts in the MIND!!!

Yah gave us power over every unclean spirit.

The power to control the narrative(to a certain extent) of our lives. We are the gatekeepers of what we entertain: media, people, food, and thoughts.

The way we combat this is by:

1. Purring all thoughts into captivity- 2 Corinthians 10:5
2. Rebuking the enemy- James 4:7
3. Think about good things- Phillipians 4:8
4. Our desires not of this world, but on the things above-Romans 12:2
5. Putting on the full armor of Yah-Ephesians 6:11

I know a lot of us still struggle with certain things. I still deal with anxiety from time to time which leads to rumating thoughts. One thing we have to do is to make a daily choice to fight to choose who we will serve.

Is it ourselves? the enemy? or the most high Yah? ~Choose this day on who you will serve~Joshua 24:15

~Until next time

I was pondering this question for the past 2 weeks. What seeds am I planting in all aspects of my life?

-Health

-Motherhood

-Legacy

-Business

-Family

etc…

A lot of people don’t realize that they’re living life on autopilot or their own will and that’s detrimental. You have to be mindful of what you are doing at all times so that you can continue to make strides in the right direction. For women who are married, ask your head about what seeds you need to plant in certain areas of your life, so he can direct you on the fruit you should bear under his headship.

Overall, a woman should strive to exceed in all areas of her life to be the best version of herself. She will be able to pour into her head, family, and others. For instance:

Health:

-Establish an exercise routine

-Eating a clean diet

-Skincare routine

-Time to nourish the soul

Motherhood:

-Teaching the children the ways of Yah

-Giving children the tools to be successful in all areas of their life

-Be an example of what they should strive to be

Legacy:

-Helping your master produce seed

-Helping to grow generational wealth and giving an inheritance to your children

-Passing down the ways of Yah generationally

Business:

-With permission from your master(if married), generating income to build the home by operating a business, helping in the family business, or from work

Family, friends, and sisterhood:

-Looking out for them and being a tool to sharpen one another

Charity:

-Helping those in need

-Helping other women on their journey

So the question for you is, What fruit do you want to bear?

Children have a way of using their essence to get what they want like a woman. The thing is a child at first don’t recognize their actions as manipulation because they haven’t been taught. Since I’ve gained an understanding of why manipulation is a sin, I’ve been catching my daughter on her behaviors and correcting them.

1. .Repeat the same thing

When your child repeats the same thing over and over again you eventually do what they want you to do.

Example: I told my daughter that I will do any activity with her later. She continues to say out loud,” when are we going to do an activity, activity, activity!” By repeating herself, she thinks I will do it right now when she wants me to.

1. 2. Try to persuade you

They will try to sway your opinion on not to do something

Example: Your child says I will clean my toys if you let me play longer.

1. 3. Nudge you in a certain direction

Not being direct, but passive to get their way

Example: Huffing and puffing or making noises to get your attention to do something.

1. 4. Using their voice and body language

Fixing their face either it’s displeasing or sweet and using gestures to get what they want.

Example: Your child tugging at your clothes with big doe eyes to get you that toy they want at the store. You tell them not now, but they insist on using these tactics to get what they want.

Both genders can be manipulative, but daughters have a way of doing this times 10. I’ve come to realize these actions of submissiveness start as a child. if not corrected, your child will grow to be entitled and learn to not subject themselves to leadership under their husbands.

So, don’t think you to hard on them. For I thought the same, but it’s necessary to raise them up on the way they should go. If not, they will subject themselves to the mindset of the world and you see how that’s a failure.
