Ways to be B.A.D. #20: Endure til the End

When you wake up in the morning, sometimes the first thing on your mind are the problems of yesterday. Let me share this with you: IF GOD WOKE YOU UP TODAY, HE MEANT TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY THAN YESTERDAY.

What is the problem right now? Look at what you want out of life, and ask yourself what is holding you back?

You're tired and you don't want to keep battling this problems. At what point do you trust God and say I'm not having it any more? It's not that you are not having it, it is YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THROUGH IT. You must endure til the end.

Matthew 24:13King James Version (KJV)

¹³ But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

There is a lot of patience being built in you when you endure. Yes, I know it is hard, and YES, I know that, as women, we want to be in total control of everything, but WE CAN'T.  We have to suffer through. When I tell you that I know God has a plan for me and for you, I know that the plan entails going through. 

Remember we can't get our breakthrough without going through.

Ways to be B.A.D #17: Encourage Yourself

This is really a no brainer. BUT, I know that it is hard. Man! It's hard to realize that you might have to go BY YOURSELF, in all areas of your life. You might have to run a race alone, and WIN ALONE. I all thy getting, get an understanding.

I don't understand everything all the time, but when I know I have to do it alone, I just do it ALONE!!! I encourage myself every time I go to bed, and every time I wake up. I do what is necessary for me and I dont' even talk about it.

I know that ENCOURAGEMENT is beneficial for me and what I need to do. Let me tell you, that no matter what life LOOKS LIKE, if you wake up every morning, YOU HAVE GRACE, FAVOR AND MERCY to get through and do!


You have to pray and pray more, and just keep stepping. The moment you realize you are not moving, you are not loving on you and trying to build where you are. You have to be so in tune to YOU, that you even BROKE AS YOU MAY BE, you need to encourage yourself.

Ways to be B.A.D. #9: Never Under Estimate Your Capabilities

Wow! Yes, this is so on point today. You are capable to do so much, that sometimes you don't see how you can do it.

You are capable to have all of what you want, with the resources you have. Another transparent moment: when I was short on cash and the internet was off at my home, I would go to the library and work on all that I needed to; I would work hard to PUMP THINGS OUT. My 'at home' resource was down, but the free resource to someone like me with a library card, was ALWAYS ON POINT. I took advantage of PRESSING in the 2 hours they gave me.

Another thing, when I ran out of business cards, that I ordered, I would make my own at home. I would have to be really careful because these business cards might smear if wet, but it was important to stay in the game of being active in my business.

What I'm saying is never under estimate your capabilities just because you think you LACK IN A CERTAIN area; you only lack because you have spoken lack in your life.

Ways to be B.A.D. #3: Study Your Bible

Every time we attend fellowship services, we hear the Pastor say STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED; He's talking about the Bible, but some people say WHAT AM I STUDYING? Then they say, what are they studying for?

First, know the scripture completely:

2 Timothy 2:15King James Version (KJV)

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

This full verse says, a workman (servant), that needet not be ashamed(for the spiritual choices you make), rightly dividing the word of truth(knowing the real from the fake; the lie from the truth). 

See, we only hear part of the verse. We have to know the FULL TRUTH, but that comes from studying. You need to know who you are and you'll find it in the word. 

So what do you as you study? You ask God to give you revelation and clarity of what you are reading. You ask God to show you what to read and why. You put God first, and He'll teach you. You can't study without a teacher. #catchthat

Ways to be B.A.D. #2: Fast

We're talking Biblical fasting; turning down your PLATE, to get closer to GOD. 

Ezra 8:21New King James Version Fasting and Prayer for Protection

21 Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.

Ezra wanted to fast to get closer to God so that he could he the instructions on his life; the life of him and his family. He not only thought of his family but also his possessions. Why the possessions? WE aren't to keep all of our possessions if someone is in need; the poor among us. 

Read Isaiah 58 THOROUGHLY

When you turn down your plate and put your face before the Lord in prayer, you receive each and every instruction necessary for taking care of business and ministry. 

Fasting isn't hard.

• Start slow but give up a meal or two one day
• Drink clear liquids or water only
• Pray and read your Bible
• Tell no one you are fasting accept you husband
• If you are taking meds and must eat, choose to fast the way Daniel did in Daniel 1:

 11 So Daniel said to the steward[a] whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12 “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king’s delicacies; and as you see fit, so deal with your servants.” 14 So he consented with them in this matter, and tested them ten days.

You want to be BLESSED, ANOINTED AND DESTINED. I'm not telling these ways are the only way, but fasting and praying are THE WAY.

Ways to be B.A.D. #1 : Pray

You can't do anything in your life without God; this means you MUST PRAY. You have to start your day with prayer, and you must end with prayer. You have to connection with the Lord that is going to keep you covered with the Lord.

Breakthroughs happen when you realize God is in control; you can't do anything in your own strength. The pressing in your life is the prayer. The tears you cry in secret, God is seeing you.

Faith filled persons have a relationship with God. They desire so much of a connection that they know when they have missed talking to God. They know that if their day is bad they go back and think about it they prayed or not. Your First way to B.A.D. is praying!

Motherly Wisdom #2: We're Good

The best is in your own 4 walls; don't compare everyone else's triumphs to your trials. 
My mother always compared me to others. I tried never to do that to my children. If they received 4.0's or 0.0's they were still my children and I loved them. I encouraged them and would want to help them achieve what they could for them. In OUR HOUSE, that's what mattered. 

What everyone else could and could not do in THEIR house was not our issue. WE'RE GOOD. That is the understanding that is important to gather. What is best in your own four walls, should be best. 

Never compare your children to someone else, and never undermine their test and trials as mediocre. As a mother, you shouldn't be a friend, but you shouldn't be a hindrance either. 

Look at your life right now, and determine have you been hurting your house, or helping it? Remember the Proverbs 31 Woman, she didn't sleep, and her best benefit was to her HOUSE, not the neighbors! 


Let them know WE'RE GOOD

Day 25 of the 77 Day Challenge

Okay the last five days have been a whirlwind! With traveling to Chicago Friday night for church service, a funeral on Saturday and home due for my ministry class today, these five days have been great. I have accomplished so much in little time.


First off, I finally got some financials done for my home. Basically, in order to grow I need to find a way to live and in order to live I have to have my finances in order. One thing that was slowing me down, was not being able to give my kids spending money. I found a way to give them allowance, start a savings plan, and help show them how to pay their tithes and offering. The best system that has helped me is FamZoo. I just joined last week and it is keeping me on track to take my entire family further in saving dollars to make sense. Try it out!

Secondly, I signed up for a webinar service that is only 8.97 per month (after the initial 29.99 payment and 8.97). This service offers all of the amenities that the other services offer, but also includes recording AND you can make money from others that sign up.  I have learned,as a business owner, you must invest to get a great return (one of those is tithing, and the other is putting money in your business.) I signed up for GVO Conference  (this is the prelaunch link) and have already scheduled a few webinars for the month of October.
Goals seminar

Lastly, I have started a newsletter for C.K.Q. LLC that is full of everything in the corporation. Better to have one newsletter that covers all self made and affiliate businesses than to have 100 newsletters!

I'm excited that the 77 day challenge is going well. Day 25 proves to be a great one.

Savor the Moment

A few months ago, I created an ebook of most of the choice blogs I wrote when I first became a blogger. I knew nothing about followers, I knew only about sharing what I felt, what I liked and disliked, and where I wanted my life to be. Some of them had a lot of HEART on the inside that my readers could see. This was the beginning stages of my transparency.

Moments with Mrs. D Neal takes you back to those times where I was loved and hated, hurt and cherished. Where my business was just starting to bloom and grow. This ebook will help anyone right now.

Now, an experienced writer, and working on more items to encourage my readers and my clients, I am selling this book and giving away part of A Time to Testify.

A Time to Testify is my testimony on MP3, helping me see how God kept me, but also giving others the hope and reasons why God kept them.

Anyone purchasing Moments with Mrs. D Neal from LULU.com will receive a free mp3 of Time to Testify from Dana Marie. (I need to know the date you ordered it to follow up)
