Motherly Wisdom #31: WE GAVE YOU LIFE

There is always an argument that I have with my children about what I did or didn't let them do, and my answer is I GAVE YOU LIFE. 

But even in giving them life, there is never a time that I regret having them. So to encourage the child, I want you all to know that we never regret having you. 

I had my daughter on Christmas day 25 years ago; she is my oldest. Then my other two were born; I got married and we all became a blended family. I have four children if anyone EVER ASKS!! I was 18 when I had my daughter; I don't regret it. The timing might have been too early, but I never gave up on thinking I would never live. 

Now, even though my kids will ever understand some of the sacrifices I made while trying to raise them, I remind them that I did give them LIFE. I could have chosen to live my life first, but I didn't. I could have just only had one child, but I didn't. I'm blessed and highly favored!

Thank you all for being a part of the 31 days of Motherly Wisdom. It just happened and it has been enlightening for all! God bless! 

Motherly Wisdom #28: Mom's go in their closets. ‪#‎catchthat‬

Mom's don't have anyone to lean on, so they go in their closets; do you want to know what that means? WE go to GOD! 

WE don't have a choice, but to go to GOD. Ya'll have lost your minds, so we have to go prayer. I mean, sure we can call a friend, lean on our husbands (or try to), but the only that can bring about a change, is GOD. 

Whew yes! The LORD is the answer! God in the closet, close the door and don't come back out until WE GET THE MESSAGE. If you dont' hear from us for hours, that's why; if you never hear from us again, check the closet. 

Let me say that no matter what is going right, MAMA HAS GONE TO THRONE FOR YOU. No matter what is going WRONG, MAMA IS GOING TO THE THRONE. See, we SAVED PARENTS know, that if we just TALK ABOUT IT, God is coming for that, but if we BE ABOUT IT, we can get HELP. 

The closet is the best place to get some quiet. I'm not sure what is going on the closet, but the world ceases to exist in there. There you can hear both sides of the universe: the earth and the spirit realm. (well that would depend on who you are, and if you wait on God to answer). 

As a mom, I know that it takes work for families, and this is our JOB.

Motherly Wisdom #27: Family is a lot more than what MONEY CAN BUY!

Someone taught me years ago what family means. When THAT PERSON left the earth...yeah..well..
I miss her, but I'll say this, I think poor families have the most love in their lives because they didn't have money to cover up their weaknesses. 

Families spent time at home, having birthday parties, or bar-b-ques; they watched football, or movies. 

Neighborhood families spent time together not spent money. When someone is gone, they hurt, not because they didn't do enough, but because they are not longer there. Family is a lot more than WHAT MONEY CAN BUY. 


I like money. I want more of it. I'm truly working my way towards BILLIONAIRE STATUS, but I want family more than ever. I want the support from the people that I think should love me unconditionally. 

Let me be transparent again: for the past 3 Sundays, I have been having family dinner. We would increase in numbers little by little. We only eat and leave (an hour or so), but we come together. I want to be able to have everyone come together and really sit and chat, but its hard. Either way, I want us together. Let us get to know each other. See, FAMILY IS MORE THAN MONEY BUY. I failed, but I'M TRYING NOW. 

I thank God for Esther Russell and what she taught me. Miss you.................

Motherly Wisdom #26: Mom loves you more than money

I can share this now, because it is AFTER CHRISTMAS, and a lot of you have received your gifts or received nothing.

As a parent, WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN MONEY. Your lives mean more to us than what you can buy us. Gifts are great, but they are an added addition to what we already have in you, and that is LOVE, RESPECT, TRUST. (please go back and review Motherly Wisdom 24)

Gifts can be stolen and replaced, but life cannot be. Let me help some of you mothers with a little transparency here: MY KIDS AREN'T PERFECT EITHER, but I love them just the same. I MIGHT be a little disappointed in the lives they have chosen to live, but ITS THERE LIFE AND THEY ARE GROWN.

Whew..now that that's over.

Mom loves you more than money. Money is good to have, but not where i takes over your life. Let me tell you that on some point, when you have your own kids, you will realize you can't give them everything that you want to, but you can share with them LOVE......

SO #CATCHTHIS: DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT MAMA ISNT' DOING, WHEN SHE'S STILL LOVING YOU!

Motherly Wisdom #25: Mama Trusts God; Jump on the Bandwagon

A faith filled life is beneficial for you. Why? God controls everything; that's why. Mama trusts GOD.

Walking WITH GOD is better than WALKING WITHOUT HIM. There is too much going on right now in our world to live without him. Even though your life has been questionable, if you are reading this right now, you have a chance to repent and get on the right path. Let me tell you, I wasn't always where I am right now, but I"m thankful that God didn't let go of me. I must also share that walking this walk as a ministry leader has been lonely, but I won't stop walking.

See, as MAMA, I' won't let go of my faith filled, loving relationship with GOD, because I know where I want to end up, when HE CALLS ME HOME. I trust God, because during those times I was hungry, he fed me. During those times, that I was looking for answers, HE SENT THEM. During those times I thought I couldn't make it, HE WAS THERE TO MAKE SURE I DID.

See, you have to TRUST GOD, because you already BELIEVE IN THE DEVIL. What? What's that MAMA DANA? Yes, you already believe in the devil. Everything you do that you know isn't right, IS PROOF THAT YOU KNOW EVIL EXISTS, you just don't realize how GOOD AND BAD come together to test your mental, FAITH BASED capabilities.

So, there you have it. JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON and TRUST GOD TOO!

Motherly Wisdom #22: I told you so!

There is nothing like stepping back and watching things unfold exactly like you said it would. I mean truly we don't want to say I told you so, but it happens. I watch my children ignore what I say, or just say okay Mom, but then after about 2 or 3 weeks, I find out it happened just like I said. I try  not to laugh, but I just WAIT FOR IT.

Our purpose and plans, as parents, is to teach and hope that our children grasp on to what is necessary for their lives. If they decide that they don't want to do what MAMA says, that's fine. But when they keep getting a bloody nose, because they keep hitting a brick wall, just hand them the towel and keep walking. 

No, I'm not trying to be mean. I'm being honest. The truth shall set you free! If my mother wasn't so mean about the truth, I might have listened as I got older, but that's another lesson on the couch with the LORD. 

None the less, try not to tell them I TOLD YOU SO. Just wait for it!

Motherly Wisdom #11: Family Justification may be False

Friends, family or foe, will try to justify how they treat you, but won't use that same justification rod for you to them. For every side to the story there is the truth. For every thing done out of emotion, there is a broken heart.

When you are wounded you will wound others; you will make them suffer the consequences of what you WON'T DEAL WITH or LET GO OF. 

The problem with being hurt, is, if you don't deal with it , it becomes a thorn in your side; the more you get POKED, the more you want to punch OTHERS. That's isn't good ethics. 

The other part is the justification of your being hurt in order to hurt others is false. You can't love that way. The best part of loving is leaving the pain aside, but the only way to leave the pain aside is face up to how you got hurt and FORGIVING OTHERS. 

Never try to justify hurting someone else!

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

Motherly Wisdom #1: Stay at Home

Sometimes you need to just stay at home with your kids. Truly! It may be the Christmas season, and you want to go visit others, but sometimes you need to stay at home with your own children. 

They need you to focus on them sometimes, instead of others. Those of us that go from house to house all the time, then we do it excessively around Thanksgiving and Christmas, are the ones that want to be seen. 

It is truly time out for WORRYING ABOUT PEOPLE; stay home from time to time. Take care of your house because it is absolutely necessary. At some point, you have to decide that you are not a teenager and you can't get around as much as you would like. At some point you have to grow up.

Now, I'm really reflecting on the people that are somewhere every weekend, then on Christmas they are in MORE PLACES. Sit down. Stay at home. Let your children get to know you and you them. 


Home is where the heart is; if you aren't home, neither is your HEART!

Featured Business Woman: Stephanie Terrells

I've done it again! I have found a wonderful business woman to feature on the blog that will help motivate you to get past your fears and into function; move from waste into wealth; progress from poverty to posperity! I pray you enjoy Stephanie Terrells as she speaks about herself, her business and more in her own words.

My name is Stephanie Terrells Wilson and I am the visionary & creative director of Divine Favor Couture which was birth Feb 19,2007 but wasn’t launch until the beginning of 2012. Divine Favor Couture Christian specializes in clothing, accessories, bath and body products for both men & woman on the go.

I was born in Memphis, Tennessee in March of 1972 and have lived in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas for almost 15 years. I am currently the visionary of Divine Favor Couture and the Creative Director of Di Divine Designs. I am a divorced mother of three children, Di age 14, S. Edward age 20 and Sequoia 25. Di is an active in various activities in high school and the visionary of Di Divine Designs. S. Edward has recently started a lawn care business, looking to enroll into college this fall and would like to complete a degree in Criminal Justice. Sequoia is currently stationed in Afghanistan and severing in the United States Army she will be graduating with an associate’s degree this fall. I taught all of my children at a very early age to be lenders and not borrowers. My mother and children are the most important people in my life. My drive and passion comes from the influence of my family that keeps me moving forward to continue to excel towards my divine purpose as well as being a positive business role model not only to my children but other women. My life is fulfilled by my wonderful family, friends/associates, success of our family businesses and a genuine dedication to hard work and divine passion.

My Life

My name is Stephanie Terrells Wilson and I was raised in Memphis Tennessee. At a very young age I informed others that I had a passion to become a millionaire and wanted to create my own business. My father owned Terrells Remodeling Services until his death in 2002 it was through this desire to be the leader of his own destiny that I caught the entrepreneur spirit. I met, dated and married my husband Barryl in July 1997 during this union there were many ups and down but God taught me how to become a women as well as my mission which is to ministry to broken women. After our divorce, I attended college and several trade schools to make myself more marketable within the corporate arena, but after obtaining job after job I still was not fulfilled because I didn’t have my own. The word of God says that “If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed” John 8:36. I have the full authority on this earth to walk in the divine freedom that was given to me before the foundation of the earth. So I decide to join multiple MLM’s which could allow me to be my own boss as well as empower others to do the same. After many years of building other companies and still not receiving monetary gain for my family and I, the decision was made to work a business that would benefit the kingdom.

My struggle with starting this business was that I have so many products to add to my personal brand but I didn’t have the finances available to get everything up and running all at the same time so I decide to break everything into several phrase until I have could complete the birthing process of this divine vision.

My triumphs are that my business is growing and getting much needed exposure. I will participate in my first radio broadcast Tuesday 31st and I am looking forward to television segments after the launch of our upcoming bath and body line. Divine Favor Couture website is http://divinefavorcouture.storenvy.com/ 

My daughter Di which is 14 has launch a business as well which called Di Divine Designs which specializes in upscale clothing, handbags, gems, and shoes as well as custom rhinestone & Swarovski crystal tees. We also provide personal wardrobe styling services to those that are interested. For more information regarding Di Divine Designs please feel free to visit : http://didivinedesigns.storenvy.com/ and the Facebook site http://facebook.com/pages/Di-Divine-Designs-Gems-Exchanged-In-Divine-Love/118623601484853

The purposes for both companies are to evoke confidence, promote personal growth, motivation and an expectancy of what others say is impossible.

Getting on POINT!

Sometimes we so fast through life that our head spins. We move according to what  happened and what needs to happen later. NEVER, do we move in the right now. We are always preparing for more (or less) and thinking about the past.

It's time to get to the point.

The point of your life is to live right now and to accept today at its fullest. As a business and life coach, I tell my clients that tomorrow is not here for you, today is; yesterday is no longer your problem, ask for forgiveness and move on. Getting to the point is truly part of what is important in leaving legacies. What does that mean you ask? It means you have to consider you children and possibly your grand children and what values and concepts are you instilling them right now.

Getting to the point of your life, your business and your family starts with re-evaluating what you are doing; what works and what doesnt! You really must write things down and pick them apart piece by piece. Yes, write on paper, not on the IPAD. Yes, write and feel the frustrations you have as you do so. On your paper, at the very top, write GETTING TO THE POINT. Under that write what YOUR POINT is, not what everyone thinks it should be. Under that make a list of what you have been doing in the past year to get to the point. After you have it all written down, take a yellow and a pink highlighter; in yellow highlight the things that have worked in pink mark off the things that dont.

This project needs to be done! We are in the 2nd half of the year and you have to move forward and obtain the wealth that God has promised you. Get to the point of your life right now!

Residual or Recession Part II

The purpose of being in business today is to find a way to make ends not only meet but crossover. The point is how to make them meet. I am giving you a few options in the topic I'm covering called Residual or Recession.

The point is to make your mind work on what needs to happen just in case you lose your job, your business fails, etc. What choices do you have? What are your options? REALLY, it is what direct sales home business venture will work for you and yor family.

My second option in this series is Snack Healthy. Why is this such a great deal? Well we all need to eat right and exercise. With Snack Healthy we can start somewhere small.

Long story short; why not get paid for starting to eat right? You can't sell (well) what you dont do/try for your own home. I am more than willing to send you samples of the crispy fruit and the popcorn for you to try so you can consider joining the business; send in email to info@ckqllc.biz,  but in the mean time check out this link http://ckqllc.getpaidtosnack.com/

Well, Here's the Problem

The problem with your life is that someone else wants it. It's never a great experience for people to congratulate you adn then make you feel bad all in one breath. The problem in my life is that I can't offer everybody what they need so they don't even trust me with the little bit I have. Wow..that's like getting stomped on w/o really knowing it until you try to get up from the unclear stuper you were in.



Here's the problem:

Everyone's reality is the logic that the world brings not the spirit that we should walk in. Everything a saint does should be guided by the LORD's direction, not the world's reality.

Here's the solution:

Understand that God is the only way. His directions are the only way and there is no exception to the rule. NO EXCEPTION. We cannot keep walking around here thinking we can make scripture fit for us. This is not the way people should live. NEVER.

So here's another problem: Your life is not even all that perfect. Your career is failing, your businesses are failing, your children give you a stroke on a daily basis and never mind that your finances look like a total mess.

Here's a solution: Smile and let them get over it. You have to do what God calls you to do and nothing short of that and no exceptions to the rule (yes, that again). The scripture is plain and clear about what you are to do. Your vision is blurred by the people in your life that don't have a clue that the grass is just as green on their side as it is on yours.



YOUR SOLUTION IS AT THE NEXT EXIT!!!


It is time to get off this congested freeway of life and take a slow drive in God's direction. He'll meet you at the fork in the road and tell you exactly what to do you. Get your spiritual GPS going otherwise get ready for an early final distination.

Stop Making Me YOUR Excuse

There was a time, when I was a young girl, that I blamed myself for how people treated me. I felt that I was the problem for the adults and the fellow friends. As I grew up, I continued to beat up on myself regarding the relationships I had with people and the results there of.

I finally woke up.

I woke up when I realized that every WRONG thing I did as child, God would forgive me, and HE did. I finally realized that what others CHOOSE to do was a result of what THEY felt they needed to do, not by any thing I did to them.

I realized that how WE act and react to others is by response of the spirit within us. NO one can make us do anything we do NOT already want to do. Just the evil or the good held within dictates to us in our inner ear.

So what happens next? Well, first off, I want to tell all those connected to me in some way shape or form; if I offended you with my cut throat in your face reality of what GOD really wants, and you don't like it...stop. JUST STOP making me your excuse for the relationship we now have. No matter what you think and how many spiritual cosigners you need, I love you with the love of the Lord and according to God's bible, not the man made doctrine's that have been dictated to us all these years.

Secondly, those of you that have been connected with me through ministry, business, this blog or more, understand that your life on this earth is going to end. Be ready for it when you take a moment to look at your life and what you have done to others. How will God look at you? Have you repented of any wrongs? Not everything you have done is wrong so you have to look at it all. Be ready for your friends and colleagues to use you as an excuse for their actions.

I did this as a child, looking at all of me and I had trouble understanding God's work in my life. I did not SEE it or understand it until about 3 years ago when my body was totally clear of all liquor and things that hurt my temple(my body). I started to see how the smallest miracles are just as GRAND as the large ones I was waiting on. I looked at how I treated people in business, and in life; I looked at how I shared myself with my now husband and how it was MISUNDERSTOOD. I looked at how open my book of life was used against me and how, right now, I am still misunderstood and rejected.

Although I am misunderstood and rejected, I am not going to allow my "connections" to make me their excuse. I follow a command that is not part of the Ten Commandments and I share it with others so that they understand: Ezekiel 33:8
When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.

This is important. WHY? I know God's word...I do NOT apply what I like to my life and leave what I don't like. So, when I share what the word says and you don't like me for sharing it..too bad. WHY? My salvation is more important than how you feel about the word that is needed for you. Once you, saints, figure out that the life you have should show Christ's light and illuminate to all not just who you pick and choose and that YOUR salvation is just as important (actually more important) than the car you drive you will realize that all else means nothing. Don't fail...don't stop...and please don't keep using ME as your excuse. I am nothing but a breathe on this earth....

Repositioning Your Mind to Reposition Your Life

Today is Working Wednesday and our conversation is about repositioning your mind to reposition your life.

I have linked TD Jakes' website with his book Reposition Yourself

There is a spiritual connection that helps you to work out your businesses and your life and that is your mind.

From bible.com (thoughts): These are to help you see the wrongs in your thoughts. God can hear us...whether we speak it out of our mouths or in our minds. We have to get control of whatever we think and speak. Why? It affects our entire lives...it affects our families and our businesses. If you keep your mind on the Lord and what he wants for you, you will see change in your lives and your businesses; you will see prosperity and complete success. Study these scriptures and open your bible. Purchase the book from TD Jakes. God bless you in all that you do!


Job 20:2 (Whole Chapter)
"My troubled thoughts prompt me to answer because I am greatly disturbed.

Psalm 10:4 (Whole Chapter)
In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.


Psalm 13:2 (Whole Chapter)
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?


Psalm 55:2 (Whole Chapter)
hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught

Matthew 9:4 (Whole Chapter)
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, "Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?


Matthew 12:25 (Whole Chapter)
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.


Matthew 15:19 (Whole Chapter)
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.


Mark 7:21 (Whole Chapter)
For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,


Luke 1:51 (Whole Chapter)
He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.


Luke 2:35 (Whole Chapter)
so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too."

Family Friday~~Pulling it all together

When you create a life that seems it is bigger than the plan YOU had, you have to pull it all together for balance and completion in the HOME!

Well,this hits home for me because everything I dream about to be prosperous and successful, is about to fall into the gutter because my home life isn't 100%. I blame my parents for this; if they weren't go-getters, creative minded, dreamers, and people that just wanted more out of life, I would be working my 9-5 and being Suzy Homemaker. So what do I do? Find balance. (I want you to visit ivillage.com and sign up with ilearn which has free online classes for just this topic).

The importance of balance gives us all the connection we need in our lives and frees us from stress. The primary importance to keep life stable and obtain this balance is the connection we have with the Lord. We are all God's children; when we choose to follow HIM, we are walking the path that opens our ears to hearing, seeing and doing.

So how do we start to get there:

1. Obey all the commands (not just the commandments)
2. Study the word
3. Fellowship with other like minded, spiritual individuals
4. Always be in prayer
5. Take classes or lessons regarding balance
6. Don't give up
7. Always trust the Lord.

These few steps may sound easy, but once you get started it's hard. I want to also, suggest that you visit Greg Dickow's web site and sign up for the Thinking Fast.
http://www.changinglives.org or www.thinkingfast.org

You have to scripturally start somewhere in order to get things in order and in balance.

Blessings.
