Day 30 of 30 Day Prayer and Fast
Praise Him for the Victory!
As I reflect over the last 30 days, I accept that not every day was I able to maintain a mindset of victory; but I realize that I now have a renewed committment to victorius living. If you shoot for the stars you may fall short, but at least you are out there amongst the stars!
I am eagerly anticipating what God has in store for me! I know that it will be bigger and better than anything that I can imagine. "alliwannadoisact" I know that God will open the doors to make this a reality!
This is also the day to log in the last of my 200 miles! I have 7.39 miles left!! I am going to Memorial Park to do 6 miles this morning and later I will do about 2 miles on the treadmill! I have such a sense of accomplishment.
I first thought of this day as a day of completion. But in our journey to becoming better persons and more Christ-like there is no completion. It is not done until God says it's done! So next month I am going into Galatians 5:22-23 and working on each fruit of the spirit (peace, joy, long-suffering (patience), self-control, goodness, kindness..etc). I challenge you to choose one of the fruits and take a week to work on it. Challenge yourself to be patient for a week or exercise self-control for a week. As we continue to grow, God will give us the strength to succeed!
Love and blessings!

Day 19 of 30 Day Prayer and Fast
Stand Firm
"Fear not; stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will work for you today" (Exodus 14:13) It is so important that we take a stand. When you take a stand you make a declaration of your faith. Do you really believe? Do you really believe he is able to protect you, to provide for you, open doors for you, make a way for you? Once you make the stand, you then must wait for Him to show up and show out! And trust me He will! Sometimes it is at the last minute, but He will provide the lamb in the bush for your circumstances. I have taken a stand with Black Pearl Sings! I will do this show again...Broadway here I come! Now how God is going to work it out, I don't know. But I am going to trust in Him and wait for Him to work it out! On what have you taken a stand? Please share and let's be in prayer with each other.
Peace and love,
Alice

Filter Your Thoughts
Oh how important is today's message. We really have to watch what we let our minds ponder. If we find that those things are not positive, we need to remove them. We need to constantly think of positive things and positive outcomes. Yesterday I was so upset over the quality of my new headshot that my agent chose. I coud not see my way clear about submitting a photo that had not been touched up. But then I had to sit back and say, "It is not the end of the world. Trust and believe. If she wants the photo, trust her decision and believe that God is able no matter what your photo looks like." I had to change my mental chatter. So I'm encouraging each of us to check our mental chatter. Be careful of the things that we watch, read, listen to and allow others to say around us and to us.
Peace and Love!

Well we are half way there! What are some of the things that you have seen manifested in your life so far this month?!!! For me, my sister Olive, has launched a wonderful business that is creating quite the buzz; my brother Nkrumah, has made it to the top 5 in the NYMF's Next Broadway Sensation competition; and I am in development for 3 new businesses and working on a screenplay!!! My prayer is that everything our hands touch prosper and that all of our dreams come true! So dream big! For there is nothing to big for our heavenly father! Ask and you shall receive!
Also, give, give, GIVE! "Give and it shall be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over...(Luke 6:38) Share our resources, share our time and share our talent. We have so much to share. Brad, I like how you are sharing your time and talent tutoring. That is inspirational to me. Keep it up!

Day 14 of 30 Day Prayer and Fast
Feed Your Faith
Storing up God's word in our hearts, so when those hard times hit, we can declare his Word over those circumstances. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! God did not give me a spirit of fear, but of victory! Christ is my rock and my salvation! If I have faith the size of a mustard seed, I can say to the mountain move; and it shall move! God shall supply all of my needs! We have to grab scriptures and store them in our hearts, like when squirrels store up nuts for the winter, to be used when the winters of our lives hit! Some of our winters will be mild, but every now and then you can get some pretty rough and cold winters! We have to be prepared.
I ask the Lord to keep blessing all of my friends and family. I ask you to be in prayer for my little brother Nkrumah who is competing in NYMF's Next Broadway Sensation. He made it to top 10. They competed in round one last night. We can go online to DFDTV.com/sensation to see the highlights starting today. And we can vote for him through Wed. Please pray for him and vote for him.
I'm also praying for Susan. Continued strength as you deal with your cousins passing. Hold on to God's unchanging hand. Let me know if you need anything. Even if it is just tea and conversation! Or a good game of checkers!
Peace and LOVE!

Overcome Opposition
1 Corinthians 16:9 says, "A wide door has been opened to me and with it are many adversaries"
As God brings opportunties your way Satan will present many obstacles to distract you, mislead you and ultimately stop you. I feel that doubt is the biggest distractor that he uses. Maybe I'm not good enough, why me, good things never happen to me...etc. We have to trust that all things work for the good of those who love the Lord. Count everything joy! Even in death, look for the joy! Even in sickness, look for the joy! In times of unemployment, look for the joy! If we stay focused on God and trust that he is working everything out for our good, it makes things easier. Doesn't mean we won't feel pain, I mean after all we are still human, but it does mean it makes the pain more tolerable. You know that this too shall pass!
