Do you know protecting our peace is about, not only our words, but our tone? It's also about the heart of each person. Although I have a loving and kind heart, I messed up in this area a short time ago. I used the wrong tone when I talked to a person and I the other person understandably was offended. I apologized, yet it's up to the other person to accept it. When we fall short, we assess and reassess, then make the necessary changes. After that, we learn and grow to be better the next time.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart Youtube Channel

Do you know that part of protecting our peace is about routines? And someone once said, 'routines is the stuff of great legends.' What's your routine? Do you have a great routine? Is it something that's working for you? If so, great for you, keep going. If not, then it's a great time to get a productive routine going. It's never too late and this is a time where we have plenty of time during this COVID19 pandemic. In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart Youtube Channel

Protecting our peace is about knowing that if we went through it, it will be another battle that gave us experience to get closer to winning the war. King David in the bible went through hell with his family and foes, but that didn't stop him. David loved the Lord and the Lord loved David. David had a great relationship with God, because David's heart was loving towards God. That's the main reason God blessed David. It can be the same for us. We have the power to have the life we want. We just have to be willing to continue fighting for it.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart Youtube Channel

Have you ever heard of the 5 talents? It was a story in Matthew 25 when a boss gave his employees 5, 2, and 1 talent. The ones he gave 5 and 2, used them very well and they doubled, but the one with the 1 talent, didn't use it. He buried it, sat on it, and was cast into the darkness. How many talents were we given? Are we using them? Do we find ourselves cast into a darkness of our own, because we are not using what our daddy (God) gave us? Just a question.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart Youtube Channel

How's it going regarding protecting your peace? Are you refining and cultivating your craft. What are you doing during these quarantining days? Netflix is awesome, but if that and similar things are all we're doing then will those things help us become better, worse, or the same? That question is only one we can answer. Anyway, we have plenty of time to fine-tune something great we do well and if we do that every day, we will come out better in that area. What you doing in all the time we all have to practice and make ourselves better?  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel

What are you doing to protect your peace? Are you doing anything to bring you power, confidence, calm, strength, improve self-esteem? If you are, great, keep doing that. If not, then there should be something that clears your mind and brings you positive energy, not less. Ponder that as you search for something you love doing and make that a part of your day every day.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel

Do you know protecting our peace is about understanding others and trying our best to know what makes them tick? When we do that, we can get to know their heart as we communicate more. Open, honest, and respectful communication makes our relationships better and life gets better. Getting to know each other is not as complicated as we think when we're willing to be more understanding and compassionate towards others.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart Youtube Channel

When it comes to protecting our peace, how are we processing the words that come our way? Do we give them or the source of where they came, power? Do we "get mad or get glad"? Do we reflect on them and learn to grow? We can find positive ways in dealing with any hurt or negativity that comes our way by looking within and knowing we don't have to get down about them. We can be strengthened as we maintain our emotional control. In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's YouTube Channel

In this continuing series of Protecting My Peace, the focus has to continue to be on keeping the negative out and embracing the positive. It doesn't matter what we are confronted with and who supports us, we can still choose peace, power, joy, confidence, and strength. Remember, we are in control, not our circumstances.  In Sharon's Heart Website In Sharon's Heart YouTube Channel

Protecting our peace is about the deposits and withdrawals we allow, as well as, how we handle negativity and adversity. Just know you can get through anything you want to get through. You can win in the end, you really can. So, believe it.  In Sharon's Heart Website YouTube

I will be doing a Protecting My Peace series everyday for the near future. This is only a series until I move on with something else that will bless us. Today I talk about ensuring we stay around a positive team of people. Those people should not be many and can be positive and productive family and/or friends. We have to also be open to getting feedback we may not like and be mature enough to deal with that. If we want to grow, we have to be willing to be open for what comes with that.  My In Sharon's Heart Website My Youtube Channel

It's important to know we have power to protect our peace, joy, and happiness. We can do that through God's word, positive books, and affirmations. Don't let any person, place, or thing steal your peace. Continue to work on yourself and know you can be anything and do anything. Our past doesn't matter. In fact, it can be used to fuel our energy to grow and do ever greater things. Remember what Maya Angelou said: 'what anyone thinks [or says] about me doesn't matter, because it's none of my business.' Carry on as you protect your peace.  Website: In Sharon's Heart  Youtube

 I have great news for you. I've come to tell you once again, you're going to make it through, so speak life to that situation. That's right, Proverbs 4:10-12 says "accept my words, that the years of your life may be many. I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness. When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble." That's what the Lord is saying to you. Uh huh, that's what He's saying to all of us. It doesn't matter what you're going through, keep looking forward. You're going to make it through. You really will. You're going to make it through.  Blog: insharonsheart.org Faith Works Academy: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

I used to walk around faithless. It was when I didn't know any better. I was totally oblivious to the fact that I was faithless though. I didn't know it until I started walking boldly in faith. Then I wondered how in the world I existed like that -- operating in a hit or miss fashion. At any rate, I'm enlightened now and I can tell you that I don't mess around anymore.  Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith it's impossible to please God. I -- you -- we cannot go forward without faith -- without truly believing there is a way to conquer by a force bigger than ourselves. I know that and if you know that, you walk in power. That's it -- we walk in power.   Blog: insharonsheart.org Faith Works Academy: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart  

"Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness" (Hebrews 3:13).  Today I've come to encourage you to stay encouraged even if you have to encourage yourself. And I've come to encourage you to encourage someone else today. Sometimes we may have to dig deep to find that encouragement, but we must make that a priority. We have to stay encouraged and continue on despite it all. Thankfully, we can rely on God throughout it all too, because He is the greatest encourager of them all. And He will give us what we need to get that push of invigoration and inspiration. I thank God He is a loving God, and we know what we're getting with Him everyday. He never changes. Hebrews 13:8 says, He's the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. That means He will never flake on us. Be encouraged in knowing that.

God will use us for great feats if we're willing to be used. It's free will. When He calls us, we make the choice to go. It's a sacrifice. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You want to win? Be willing to go through the obstacle course of life in order to do so. You can do it though, through Christ who lives in you. Philippians 4:13 says, you can do all things through Him who strengthens you. Yes you can.

It's just a fact of life that God blesses whom He wants, so we can't be mad when others seems to be "more blessed" than we are. There is a time and a place for everyone. In Acts 10:34, "Peter fairly exploded with his good news: “It’s God’s own truth, nothing could be plainer: God plays no favorites! It makes no difference who you are or where you’re from—if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open." In other words, God will bless who He wants when He wants, because He is no respecter of persons. That's it.   Blog: insharonsheart.org Faith Works Academy: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

This is for the people who wanted to do something for a long time, but haven't done it yet, because they think they've run out of time. You haven't run out of time, because you're still breathing.   1 Timothy 1:17 says, God is an eternal God; that He exists forever. Whatever God has for you can still happen. Yes, you can still do what you've always wanted to do. Believe that.  Blog: insharonsheart.org Faith Works Academy: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

“In the morning, Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly” (Psalm 5:3). Yes, God hears our prayers even though it may not seem like it.  Anyway, I just want to encourage you that the Lord hears you, ok? So stay with it -- stay with it.  Blog: insharonsheart.org Faith Works Academy: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart 

 I've come to remind you today that God is with you and He will make a way for you. I know, because He did it for me. It's true.  In Joshua 1:5, the Lord said to Joshua, "no one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you" and in verse 9 the Lord said to him, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” God is saying the same thing to you and I -- that He will never leave us.  Blog: insharonsheart.org Faith Works Academy: in-sharons-heart.thinkific.com/ facebook.com/InSharonsHeart/ instagram.com/insharonsheart/ twitter.com/insharonsheart
