Team God ?

As I was talking to my six-year-old son the other night, we were talking about superheroes and all of their different powers. After spending a while talking about some of the best superheroes he’s learned about, he turned to me and said; “Mommy, Jesus is the greatest superhero EVER!!!! He walks on water, He saves and heals people and the best part of it all, is that He is actually real!!!” ❤️ “I want to be on Team Jesus forever!!! Why can’t He just come now?”

My heart seriously melted to hear my little six-year-old say that. My little boy who is into superheroes, Avengers etc.. Just realized that the greatest superhero that has ever lived and that still lives is Jesus Christ. ?❤️ We started talking about prayers and how He answers them. I also explained to him that Jesus can’t come just yet, because He’s giving us daily opportunities to prove ourselves so that we may become better members of His team. ?

As I was thinking about this today, I felt that I really do want to be a good member of Gods team. I want to be on the good side of this battle that we live in daily on this earth. The choice to be a member of Gods team happens every morning, when we wake up and we have the opportunity to choose for that day how we are going to react, and how we are going to live this day.

I was also reminded of the scripture which talks about all of us being ultimately judged by our thoughts and the intents of our hearts. Since God knows our hearts and our thoughts. I felt that I have a daily opportunity to release any negativity from my heart and to ask God to purify my heart, to align my thoughts to Him and allow me to be more open and willing to hear His voice and be a better member of Gods team. ???❤️

I want all the actions, desires and thoughts going out of my soul to glorify God and I want to allow all that comes into my soul and into my life to glorify Him as well. I want to have a soul that has a desire to seek wisdom from the best places and sources ( specially at this time when we can be so easily distracted by everything on the Internet, social media etc.) I want to seek His wisdom and to make my home, heart and soul a place where God can reside.

The battle is daily, and that battle usually begins in our hearts and minds. So today I invite you to think about what are some of the things you can do to strengthen your mind and heart? & How can you be a better member of Gods team today? ? ☀️

We belong to the team of God who knows our battles and who is willing to fight with us and for us. He loves us and gives us daily opportunities to choose. He doesn’t want us to give up, but instead He wants us to train with Him! and to strengthen ourselves for the daily battles we face. With Him we will overcome all things. Please know that He does have a perfect plan for your life! trust your coach! Because He is the most AMAZING coach you will ever have & He is willing to help you, strengthen you, heal you and fill you with peace along the path of your life. We’ve got this team God! ???❤️

Hope that you can make it to class and our new schedule on WEDNESDAYS AT 5 PM. Come strengthen your body, Mind and soul and leave feeling renewed and ready to do your best. ??

Our physical goal this week is to exercise at least 3 days 😉 & our Spiritual goal is to remember daily that we belong to Gods team and all will be ok. ? Remember the scripture; “I can do all things through Christ who strengthened me.” Trust that He will come through for you. ?❤️??

Love,

Inner Oasis ?

Often times our thoughts and conversations are directed at the future or the past, that we forget to focus on the present. Being Present is bringing full awareness to the moment we are in. Filtering out distractions and bringing our attention to the task at hand.

Doing this allows the combined stresses of life to fade to the background as we focus on being right here, doing whatever it is that we are doing right now. With a focused mind and a sense of gratitude for this very moment.

As we’ve talked about in class, one of ways to improve our ability to come into the present moment is to calm the mind in meditation. Meditating at any time of the day, brings rewards that filter into all aspects of life. Any time Is the perfect time to refresh or renew ourselves. We just have to choose to make the time for it and allow it to actually help us.

Between our regular meditations, when we are in the world. We can use short meditations for even one or two minutes that are refreshing, calming, centering and good for our health and clarity. They open the window of communication to our higher wisdom, returning us to our spiritual perspective and allowing us to connect to God and to ourselves. This allows us to focus on God’s peace, Love and trust which will allow us to act from a place that is centered and peaceful. ???

Our Goal for the next 2 weeks is to bring ourselves to this calming connection as many times a day as possible. And to be more present in our daily tasks. You may have to remove distractions and take some deep breaths, but you can do it! ??? The more we practice the more natural It will become.

Here’s one way you can practice this.

▫️Stop what you’re doing.

▫️Take three deep breaths and allow yourself to feel what is going on in your body and mind.

▫️Invite the calming peace and love to be with you.

▫️ Start your next task with gratitude, kindness joy, compassion and love.

Hope that you can allow yourself to have more moments to access your inner oasis. We will have class tonight at 6pm if there’s rain we will do it through zoom. If not, we’ll meet outside ? Hope that you can make it and continue to do things to strengthen your Body, Mind and Spirit. ?

Love,

Greater Inner peace ?

With everything that has happened in our world this year. There’s been an increase in emotional instability, stress, fear and anxiety.

Addiction and violence have been on the rise and we’re finding ourselves and our loved ones looking for ways to “numb” the emotional stress that surrounds us.

We resort to food, look for compliments or validation on social media, we obsess over our physical appearance, use entertainment, tv, shopping, substances and many other activities that seem harmless at first, but little by little become the ways in which we buffer our emotions.

Can you see how we’re slowly becoming more and more dependent on outside sources to bring us “inner peace”? Most of the time we don’t even realize how much we’re allowing those things to control our emotional state, or how we’re “numbing the discomforts” of life which little by little disrupts our inner peace.

This week I want to motivate you to take a look deeper within yourself. Remember that this may not feel comfortable at first and you may be tempted to grab your phone or try to look for your “buffering tools.” The goal is to honestly sit quietly and make a list of the things that you use to “numb” your emotional discomfort. What comes up for you? What are the things you reach for first? Do they bring you peace? Or do they leave you feeling worse?

Once you’re able to do this for yourself, be proud of your ability to be clear about what those things are. Set a goal for yourself this week that you will notice when those things start to show up and motivate yourself to not rely on them for your comfort. Instead, try to disconnect from the outside world to focus on your internal peace which is always available to you, if you choose to focus on it.

Remember that God invites us to fully place our trust on HIM. He is the prince of peace, who invites our souls to receive long lasting and eternal peace.

John 14:27 Says: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”❤️ ? ??

God wants us to not be troubled or afraid. So, what is troubling you today? What is bringing you fear or frustration? Whatever those feelings are, sit with them for a little bit. It’s ok! & remember to allow yourself to speak to God and release that to HIM. He will remove those feelings from you and instead fill you with peace and trust in Him, which is where the greatest peace can come from. Being at peace with God is lasting peace for the soul. ❤️

Remember that no one has permission to upset you, unless you allow them to do so. We talk about this in class every week! So, hopefully you can make it tonight to learn more about this and to gain greater strength to help you.

So, set the goal for yourself to notice what you’re using to buffer your emotions. Take some deep breaths and move forward with gaining greater inner peace. Make time to strengthen your relationship with God who is the Father of PEACE. He will allow you to be filled this week. ???

Our Spiritual goal this week is: To gain greater inner peace. ?

Our Physical goals is to exercise at least 2-3 times this week and to give our body healthy nutrient rich foods. ❤️

Hope To see you in class tonight at 6pm. Hope that you can come get rid of stress and strengthen yourself Physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Love,

Lili ?

Body, Mind & Spirit ?

Those of you who know me, know how much I love talking about the connection of the Body, Mind and Spirit. God has put this in my heart for many years. I’ve felt that many of my challenges and experiences have helped me to learn how important this connection is and I seek strongly to follow this feeling in my heart to continue to grow from it and to let others know of its importance and to hopefully help you on your journey as you also seek balance of your Body, Mind and Soul.

1 Corinthians 3: 16 Says; know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

I want to remind you that God has giving you an amazing gift of having a body, mind and soul, all in one amazing temple which is you. Only you can allow yourself to Bring balance to your temple.

You are In control of what you allowed to enter your mind by the things that you watch and listen to.

You are in control of what you allowed to enter your body. By choosing foods that will be nourishing for you, and by allowing yourself to exercise and do what you can to keep your physical body in balance.

And finally you are in control of what you allow your soul to receive. The soul is the one thing that we take with us after this life. So how important is it to take care of it? It is the soul which allows all the other areas of your life to come together.

God has put you on this earth to discover how your inner strength can help you throughout your life. And as you balance your physical emotional and spiritual needs you will see that you will be better able to make choices and to feel the spirit of God more strongly in your life.

So today focused on what you can do to allow the spirit of God to be with you, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Take some deep breaths, be present and enjoy each moment. Look for joy and try to remember that you have a God who loves you and is here for you. With Him life is full of peace, love love and Joy. ❤️

Hope that you can make it to class tonight!! don’t forget that we’re starting at 6 PM. This is a good opportunity to disconnect from everything else, and to do some thing amazing for your body mind and soul. So I invite you to come get rid of stress, strengthen and renew your inner self and leave feeling lighter, peaceful and ready to do more for yourself and for others.

You’ve got this!!! ????

Love,

Emotional Overwhelm

You know how you have those days when you wake up and realize how much you have to do? How little time you have to do it all? Or when you just have that feeling of overwhelm from everything that is going on?…Well, I just had one of those days yesterday. 

I felt like I started my day with good intentions. I woke up getting ready to start my new fall 2020 routine as a homeschool mom.? I thought I was going to be able to accomplish what I wanted to do for that day. Not only for my kids, but for my home, work and more. Little by little I started to realize that I wasn’t even close to completing what was on my “to do list” I felt the overwhelm and stress start to get to me from my lack of accomplishments for that day. 

I found myself continuing to go on the whole day without a break. Until I was forced to sit in my car and wait for the rain to stop before I could get out. That rain was a tender mercy to me. It forced me to sit in my car and say a little prayer, asking God to help me ease those feelings of overwhelm and stress that had been over me the entire day.

As soon as I was done with my prayer, I looked up at the sky, and noticed the rain and the sunset. For the first time in my whole day I felt completely present in that very moment. Then, I had this incredible feeling that brought SO much peace to my heart, it made me cry. It was as if the voice and peace of God had come into my car and touched my soul for sure! Because it instantly, it took all of those overwhelming emotions away. ??? 

I learned once again the importance of allowing ourselves to slow down a little. We talk about this in class every week! ? We talk about being mindful and present in our Body, Mind & Soul.  So, I realized that I needed to practice what I preach! lol This was my opportunity to be present at this very moment with myself. ? This was another opportunity for me to experience it for myself and to allow God to speak to my heart. 

During that small amount of time in my car, I gained so much from God. He allowed me to feel in my heart His immense love ❤️ I felt How much He notices the little details and all of the good actions that we do. He sees way passed the stuff on our to do list. Instead, He sees all that we can become & encourages us to focus on the most important things each day and to just TRUST HIM.

Everything that that happens in our lives is truly meant to bring us more wisdom and experience. As long as we don’t choose to numb our emotions with food, addictions or entertainment. But instead, for us to make a conscious decision to take a little time to disconnect from those things, from the pressures that we place on ourselves and have a moment to instead connect to God. He is the one that helps us precisely when we feel like we’re not doing enough. He will send angels to our lives to remind us of this. & He will help us along the path of life to focus on the good! On His healing power, love and light that is available ALL of us. ❤️

Yeah, maybe I didn’t accomplish the things on my to do list. But I did have a few moments when I experienced the smiles of my children. I was able to give to them a hug or just be there for them. ? Maybe I didn’t accomplish cleaning or doing more…But I’m thankful that I was able to slow down enough to be present with my emotions and present for my myself to align my whole self to God. To be mindful enough to try to speak the desires of my heart to Him and to be able to enjoy His tender mercies for me each and every day. Those are truly the moments that make any day a good day. Just the fact that we can still be here, enjoying these hours & moments are all gifts. Don’t take them for granted, but instead try to be present, & don’t focus so much on the past or the future. God reminds us to take it one day at a time. ?

So, today I want to encourage you to slow down a little more. To be more present with yourself. To let go of distractions or negative thoughts & instead invite God unto your life. Don’t forget that He is the ONLY ONE who truly knows exactly what you need and how to help you. I believe that we can’t have true, deep joy in our life without having a relationship with God. ❤️ I promise that He will take away your emotional overwhelm just as he did it for me. He will allow you to see your blessings and to feel His love which will bring strength into your life and allow you to be filled with more Joy, light and peace. Regardless of what goes on, remember to be present for yourself. Take some deep breaths, my goal today is to be mindful each hour ?? Remember today to say a little prayer and count your blessings. God will be there for you! ❤️??

Hope to see you in class tonight at 6:30pm to strengthen your Body, Mind and Spirit. ?? Part fo taking care of our emotional selves also has to do with what we feed our body and the exercise that we do. It’s so healing for us to add these things into our day. So, I invite you to come to class and renew your strength and your energy today. I’m here for you if you need me as well. ??? Take it one day at a time & do your best today. ??

Love,

This season of your life ?

Have you felt the weather lately? Even us Floridians can feel a little change coming 😉 As I’ve been thinking about the changes that begin to take place in nature, when leaves begin to change colors, the weather begins to cool and daylight starts to become shorter. Its beautiful to think about the ways in which nature begins to adjust for the colder winter months.

Thinking about this is a gentle reminder that “there is a season for everything. A time for every purpose in Heaven.” We all have different seasons in our lives. What’s important is that we take the time to slow down a little and discover what we’re meant to learn from each season. And the ways in which we can strengthen ourselves, grow and overcome as God would want us to do for ourselves. ??❤️

It’s part of life to bring those changing seasons into our lives. ? The question is, are we willing to trust HIM enough through each season? Are we willing to be accepting of what comes and allow Him to transform us? Being willing to go through the inner growth to release what we need to let go of. To gain a stronger hold on our faith and trust that we are in the hands of God. knowing that whatever each season brings will be for our own good and the development of our souls in the perfect timing. ❤️

As we welcome this new season in nature. allow yourself to welcome this new season in your life as well. Contemplate the season you have experienced and what season your are in and which season is approaching for you. Bless the outgoing season thanking it for it’s insights and lessons learned and welcome in the new season making space for blessings and small miracles to grow. ??

The most important thing that God wants to remind you is that there is beauty in every season. ❤️ Some seasons may be harder than others, but that doesn’t mean that God isn’t right there for you to lift you and to help you through it. Allow those seasons to strengthen you and draw you closer to God and remember to FOCUS ON THE JOY AND THE BEAUTY THAT THIS SEASON BRINGS YOU. ?❤️?????

Our Spiritual goal this week is to reflect on the season we’re in and to allow ourselves to surrender to the positive transformation that it’s meant to bring us. We want to focus on it’s beauty, on the good, on the goals we can accomplish and the ways in which we can strengthen our Body, Mind and Soul during this season. Remembering to always focus each season on LOVE ❤️ The LOVE OF GOD, LOVE FOR OURSELVES, and love for others. ? ENJOY YOUR SEASON & LOVE IT FOR WHAT IT WILL BRING INTO YOUR LIFE. ❤️??

Hope to see you in class tonight so that you can let go of stress and negativity. & instead strengthen you body, mind & soul to leave peaceful, renewed and stronger. Love you all and hope That God delivers this message to you in His amazing ways. Make it a good day! You’re in good hands! ???❤️???

Love,

Spilled Soup ?

  • As I was rushing to clean out my fridge yesterday, I knew I only had a small amount of time to do it before picking up my groceries. As I picked up a big Tupperware full of soup from the fridge, it slipped out of my hands and broke open as it landed. Spilling all of its contents all over my kitchen floor and cabinets ??‍♀️

    • The mess was horrible!! After having some tears of frustration and spending a while cleaning up. My son handed me a drawing he made to help me feel better. It was a picture of me with the spilled soup ? but it had hearts all around me and he wrote over and over I LOVE YOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️ …It was definitely the cutest way to help me feel better.

    I feel like in life there are so many times when we accidentally “Spill the soup” all over ourselves and all over the place! ? We end up having negative thoughts about ourselves, about our body, our looks, our parenting, what we do and don’t accomplish. We compare ourselves to Pinterest, to social media, we place our value on what others think about us. Or on what the world tells us we should be like. Do you notice how all of these thoughts turn into a mess in your mind & soul?

    Sometimes you need a little reminder like the one my son gave me. That even though you spilled the soup, there’s still a God who is right there to help you feel better. ❤️ There’s a God who wants you to know that He loves you and His love doesn’t change because of your your achievements, your body size, your looks, your bank account, your popularity etc… HE JUST LOVES YOU!!! ❤️

    He wants to remind you to not nag yourself with thoughts of failure. Instead, remember that on those days when you spill the soup, He still BELIEVES IN YOU! ❤️ He wants you to remember that He notices all of the good that you’re doing and all of it doesn’t go unnoticed.

    He wants you to remember to take it one day at a time, doing your best each day to clean up any negativity from your mind & heart and instead to fill yourself with the companionship and inner peace that God brings. He allows your cup to be full and even overflowing each day.

    As you allow yourself to find your value in Him. Your confidence will grow. ? Not confidence in the things of this world, but confidence in God. ??? You will see that confidence and success in life truly comes from discovering and understanding who you really are in the sight of God. ❤️

    So, keep looking up! Stay positive and do your best. ? I pray that God can deliver the message that you’re meant to gain from this. & that you will have a stronger desire to FOCUS MORE ON THE LOVE OF GOD. Rather than on the ways in which you’re “spilling the soup” You’re AMAZING! AND ARE LOVED BY GOD TODAY AND ALWAYS!!! ? Love you all and hope to see you in class tonight at 6:30pm to strengthen our Body, Mind and Spirit. ????

    Love,

    I choose JOY ?

    There are days when life’s challenges can be too difficult to handle. Even the smallest step toward joy can seem like climbing a mountain. The truth is that we can honor a wide range of feelings during our day. For the most part we want to choose things that will help us feel lighter and more capable of handling what we’re going through.

    If we tend to “honor” certain emotions and feelings during our day why not try to honor those that help us feel better? Why not try to choose Gratitude, peace, faith and joy instead of giving into the negative thoughts that so often drain us and lead us down a spiral of emotional burnout.

    Instead we can choose to be aware of the negative repetitive thoughts that keep us distracted and distressed. We can take some deep breaths, pray for strength and focus instead on the things that were grateful for. We can focus on feeling the love of God, which is full of Joy and instead start trusting that He will help us along the way to remain peaceful, faithful and joyful which is the way He would want us to live.

    This will strengthen us and allow us to make Joy part of our daily practice. Something that we focus on and honor for our own spiritual wellbeing. Choosing Joy will also inspire us to renew our connection with the divine daily.

    Therefore allowing us to align with God which will automatically bring a soul more peace, more trust, more joy and a feeling of safety and relaxation in God. We will know that we are safe. We have a God who loves us and wants us to focus on Joy. And as children of God we will choose to focus on all that is good for our souls. This is who we are. In Him we can overcome ALL THINGS. ?

    ❤️Our spiritual goal for the week is to have our hearts open to Joy. Remember the gifts that you have today. See the hand of God in your life daily and trust that the world is a taken care of by a benevolent God, whose plan is for your highest good. You deserve Joy! Focus on it and let it be part of who you are. ❤️

    ❤️ Our physical goal is to Eat nutritious food, move our body and compliment ourselves.

    Remember to take it one day at a time. & say to yourself; I do this for ME! ❤️??

    Hope to see you in class Wednesday at 6:30pm to strengthen your Body, Mind and Spirit ?????‍♀️?

    Love,

    Trust in His ways ❤️

    Just wanted to remind you that even when life is uncertain, God still remains in control. He knows the end form the beginning and His ways are ALWAYS GOOD! ?? ❤️Try to give your mind and heart to opportunity to relax in God. ?? Make it a point to trust Him way more than you have before and believe that He will guide YOU on the path of your life. ❤️

    He knows the way, He knows the challenges and difficulties that you’re meant to overcome. He knows that you will experience pain, uncertainty and that life will have its ups and downs. He wants you to remember Him in your highs as well as in your lows and to have a heart that is always willing to be aligned, humbled and ready to HEAR HIM ? The whole point of life is for us to find the JOY in our journey and to be better prepared to meet HIM.

    So, keep your head up! Look up to God for your strength. FOCUS ON THE THINGS YOU CAN CONTROL & let go of those you can’t. Give it to God and trust in the path and wisdom that He will provide ONE DAY AT A TIME. ??????

    ??? TOMORROW AT 6:30 PM WE WILL HAVE AN OUTDOOR SOCIAL DISTANCING CLASS in case you’re interested in having a good workout and meditation outside ? ??? ??‍♀️ Please let me know if you’re interested and I’ll send you the details. Stay safe and keep yourself peaceful and positive. ???❤️

    Be of good cheer ?

    We were never promised that we would have an easy life. If anything we know that our challenges and difficulties can come to either strengthen us or weaken us depending on how we choose to react to them. ?

    God did promise that we can be of good cheer. Even during the difficulties that we may face throughout our lives. The Cheer that God provides comes with optimism and confidence. It comes from our desire to TRUST in His will and timing, just as a child submits to the will of his/her parents. We do the same with our Heavenly Father. We can instead try to access the love and peace that only God can provide for our lives daily! ❤️????

    Have you thought about where you’ve been looking for peace lately? Think about some of the things we use to “numb our emotions” we choose food, tv, hours of social media, entertainment etc to numb our feelings…We’re not very willing to sit with ourselves and think about what is going on inside of us. Or what we can do to gain the true internal peace that can only come from the reassurance of God directly to our souls. ❤️??

    When we take time out of day to connect to God, to try to hear Him, to thank Him for our blessings, He will provide us with the true and lasting love and peace that we need. We will no longer look for comfort in food, social media, or entertainment to keep us “happy” instead we’ll be able to experience the full peace and love that God provides as we’re ready to receive it. ?? Its the cheer that Jesus Christ wants us to experience ❤️

    God’s love protects us not only during the good times but most importantly during the hard times. It’s His love which protects us amidst the suffering and carries us through all of the challenges of life to bring us the peace and love that we need. ??

    So, the goal this week is to be cheerful, trusting in the promises of God. We want to be grateful for our blessings and find joy in knowing that our peace comes directly from our connection to God and not from anything else. So, Keep yourself positive, confident and cheerful ❤️?????

    Love,

    Lili ?
