The Battle is in your mind.

Have you noticed the power of your thoughts? Or how your negative or positive thoughts can affect you? Do you see how a simple thought can create feelings and actions that eventually bring about consequences that can either be good or bad. All depending on that initial thought that we allowed our minds to have.

The daily battles that we encounter all begin in our minds. Have you noticed that most of our thoughts tend to be negative? And unfortunately we don’t do much to stop them. 🙁 Our negative thoughts control our emotions. Even if they’re not true, we practically create movies in our minds of things that haven’t even happened! ??‍♀️ Why do we allow our minds and our negative thoughts to control us so much? How can we gain strength to begin to practice control in our minds and actually become a little more positive, encouraging, loving, peaceful and kind to ourselves?

In the Bible there’s a scripture that says: ”For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:3) & there’s one more scripture which says; “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12)

We have to be on guard each day to protect ourselves. The Enemy fights every single day to take power and control of our mind!! He is not after our money, our looks our power or our possessions…Please know that all he wants to do is to distract each one of us with all that he possibly can to draw us further and further away from God! 🙁 His goal is to go after our MINDS & Our souls. He wants to weaken us! He wants us to be fearful, insecure, depressed, frustrated and anxious. He wants us to compare ourselves to others to be angry, unhappy and miserable like he is. He fights daily for our mind, our power and our time. If he can distract us from anything that will bring us closer to God or to discovering the power that we have as Children of God, Then that’s what he considers a win…his way is easy. Don’t fall for his trap. The battle is in our minds and we need to be courageous to fight to keep the good within us and reject his sneaky tactics.

So, How prepared are we to handle the stealthy ways in which he attacks our minds, our emotions and our bodies? First and most importantly, we have to remember who we are! We are first Spiritual brings having a mortal experience. Our time on this earth is actually very short if you think about it. We were sent by our Father to this earth to learn, to grow, to experience the freedom to choose good vs evil. He wants us to learn the difference between sickness vs health, happy vs sad, to learn to be empathetic, loving, kind toward others…all of these experiences are for us to grow each day. To eventually become more “God like” which is our true nature. We’re here to discover that in ourselves and to learn to grow & mature slowly and patiently in it. But before learning all of these things that we’re meant to experience on this earth ? We have to remember that we are # 1 Children of God!!! Our souls come form His prescience. We are Loved by our Heavenly Father and as His children we have His DNA! His spiritual strength to remind us that WE CAN OVERCOME ANYTHING WITH HIS HELP!!! ❤️ It is through Him that we can receive strength and power to be able to fight the enemy that tries to attack our minds & souls. ??

The second thing we must do if we want to win these battles is to fight to strengthen ourselves spiritually each day! No one else can do this for us. It may seem boring or “time consuming” but as we use our time to try to connect to God, He will present himself in our lives way more clearly and we will begin to feel so different each day that we try to do our best. Even all you can do is listen to a faith building messages or praying to ask for help, that is a perfect way to build more strength within yourself to take on each day. it is only up to us to build that inner spiritual power little by little within ourselves one day at a time. & Just as our bodies need nourishment and strength, our minds need it even more!???

Another important thing to remember is that we need to read the words of God and actually fill our minds with His powerful promises. Memorizing His words will allow us to use those words with power in the appropriate moments when we may feel sad, weak or defeated. We can remind the enemy in those moments that we are children of God! That His words are true and powerful and that as His children and with His strength and power we can be healed physically, emotionally and spiritually from anything that may be trying to hold us down or come against us. It is our God who can break all of those bonds and free us from fear, pain and anxiety that tries to weaken us and attack us. It is our God who is a good God and who has promised: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. ❤️ (Jeremiah 29:11-13)

When our challenges may seem too difficult, this is when we need to search for God the most! We can’t let our guard down and be defeated 🙁 when we experience difficult situations we may feel consumed, in the dark and depressed with the world around us. When we encounter physical challenges we may feel that not even our bodies can hold us up. But, this is the time when we fully have to give it to God and trust in His wisdom and power to help us overcome it all. This is the time when we FILL our spirit with His light and love to help us through. As we strengthen our spirit, it will help us make it through the challenges. If our spirit is strong, then it will carry us through the physical, emotional, and spiritual difficulties that we experience. If we can keep our spirit strong everything else will be ok. ❤️ Our connection to God will become stronger and our spirit will feel it and it will help us each day to do the best we can one day at a time. You are not alone, God Loves you more than you know and He truly cares for you. Stay strong and watch the miracles unfold in your life as you learn to fight your battle with His help. He has said: “Know ye not that ye are in the hands of God? Know ye not that he hath all power?..” Mormon 5:23 Think about what He can do for you!!! ❤️

His power will be with us through everything we go through as long as we’re willing to fight with courage in this battle that attacks our minds and souls. All will be possible to Him that believes. So, believe In God, believe that He is and that He has all power to help you! Have Faith in Him, trust Him and protect yourself by putting on the whole armor of God each day (Ephesians 6:11-18) Which says: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

As we begin to be watchful and willing to protect ourselves from evil, fear or negativity that tries to enter our minds. We will be better able to understand that the battle is against our minds and souls. That we are in charge of protecting ourselves by remembering that we are children of God, that we have access to His love, peace and power. That we can have the words of God ready to be used when needed and that we can strengthen ourselves with the armor of God to overcome and endure to the end! We can keep our spirit strong during the challenges and difficulties. We can ASK for help as the children of God that we are. & He will provide us with what we need 🙂 ? to be able to overcome anything that we may be facing or that we may encounter. God will provide as long WE BELIEVE HIM AND ARE WILLING TO RECEIVE IT! ?

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee,nor forsake thee.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)

God has promised to be with you until the end. Stay close to Him through it all and use His words to strengthen you and feel His renewing power and peace In Your life daily. He fights the battles for you as you include him in your life. With Him by your side, you cannot fail. Feel His love and be renewed by His power in knowing that you can make it through it all. He’s got you in His hands. ❤️

Our spiritual goal for the week is to fight our battles with strength and power! You can do this. Be watchful, strengthen yourself through prayer, slow your distractions and feel the love of God one day at a time.

Our physical goal is to drink more water, and eat regular one ingredient foods! 😉 tomorrow in class we will have a wonderful workout, toning and meditation to strengthen us and help us throughout the week. Also, next week will be our last morning class because there will be summer camp at the gym during the summer. We will resume morning classes again in the fall when school starts. For now, we will have SUMMER NIGHT CLASSES!!! ??? On Thursday night at 7pm ??? Hope you can make it! Those are the best summer nights!

Can’t wait to see everyone again! & Thank you for always being so willing to move with me wether it’s morning or night. ? Love you all and I’m so thankful to have each and every one of you in my life. ?????

Love,

Judge not.

Have you noticed how quick and easy it has become for us to judge one another? Having our lives on social media and more accesible to the public makes these “judgements” worst than ever before.

The more that we judge others the more that this “disease” will continue to spread around us. We start to think that it’s ok to judge, criticize and compare others. We feel ok expressing our opinions about everything and everyone around us and we expect no consequences in return. The sad thing is, that we never feel good when we judge others. Yet, somehow we find a way to turn off that little voice inside of us that tells us it’s not ok and we continue doing it. 🙁 We also feel embarrassed to stop others around us from judging and we have a hard tome getting away from people who are constantly judging others as well. We have to be clear with ourselves and try our best to avoid being critical and judgmental of others.

The goal for this message is to help us to see ourselves in a clear and honestly way. So that we may know what we need to work on and how to change the judgments that we have placed on others. We want to be able to recognize our faults, to let go of our pride and to have the homily to change and take control of our thoughts, words and actions. When we can control ourselves we gain inner strength. We start to master ourselves from the inside out and we become better able to control how we react to every person and situation that crosses our path. Allowing our minds to replace judgment and criticism with Love, kindness and light toward others.

Mother Theresa said; “If you judge people you have no time to love them.” We can choose to STOP the criticism habits that we have, to take off our binoculars that try to see the faults, differences and the judgments in others and instead focus that energy on cleaning our lenses, on looking at our lives and trying to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. Living each day without those things that hold us back and instead focusing on what God needs us to do during our time on this earth.

He has given us a commandment or a promise which says; “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” Mathew 7: 1-2 He tell us very clearly that we will be Judged according to how we judge. God is not a God that lies. He will give to us according to how we give to others. We need to keep our hearts, minds and actions clean and pure directing our vision and our energy toward God.

He then tells us; “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” Mathew 7:3-5 When we can see our faults and mistakes and we can change them first, we will be better able to help others. Not in an arrogant or prideful way, but instead knowing that we are nothing without God’s help and strength and that God is the one and only judge who will judge fairly.

So, let’s let go of the judgments that we placed on others and instead focus on how we can better ourselves to be a stronger source of light in the world. That we may give love and kindness to everyone around us! No matter what. God will see what is in our hearts, He will know that we are trying, He will help us to overcome anything that we need to let go off! & He will help us to be the child of God that HE CREATED US TO BE! ❤️

Our spiritual goal for the week is to not criticize or judge others. Instead replace those thoughts with something positive about the person or send love or a positive thought toward that person or anyone else who may need it.

Our physical goal for the week is to not have sugar. ? I know that’s hard to hear, but it’s becoming a bigger addiction than we think. Try to slow down on the sugar and if possible remove it from your diet ??‍♀️ Drink lots of water and take a little time to exercise and do something good for yourself. You are strong! & you can do all things through God who strengthens you!!!! ❤️??

Hope to see you in class tomorrow morning for a wonderful workout, toning and meditation ??‍♀️ Hope that you can make it and feel the benefit of doing this for yourself! ????Love,

Spiritual & Physical Self Reliance

There’s a quote which says: “The world is busy with its own cares, sorrows and joys, and pays little heed to you. There is but one great pass-word to success,—self-reliance.” William George Jordan.”

Think about those words for a minute. The world pays little attention to what each one of is doing. We can’t depend on everyone else to take care of us, we have to learn to take care of ourselves physically and spiritually. We are responsible for what we do with our time, the choices we make, the things we allow to enter our minds and for the efforts we make toward becoming more self reliant throughout our lives. We know that we are ultimately in charge of our own Spiritual and Physical wellbeing. We are the ones that can chose of our own free will and choices to better ourselves, to make the changes necessary to be able to let go of the bad habits or the dependency that we place on other people or things to determine “our joy” our “emotions” etc. It’s only when we realize the we don’t depend on anyone or anything else for our spiritual and physical growth (except for God) that we will be able to experience the power and Strength that comes from making our own good choices and decisions that will help us to feel the peace and control in knowing that we have more control of our lives than we think.

Becoming self reliant will allow us to feel strengthened, to choose what is best for ourselves and to feel proud of being able to take care of our own physical, emotional and spiritual needs. To be able to become self-reliant, we must work towards it. Work is physical, mental, or spiritual effort. It requires action from our part. As we do the work necessary toward our goals we will notice that this will bring happiness, self-worth, and prosperity into our lives. Through work, we can accomplish many good things, we can reach goals, learn to strengthen ourselves, bring our own light into our lives and be able to strengthen others as well. We have to remember that it’s not just the wishing but the DOING which brings the results. ??

We can only do this work ourselves, no one else can do this for us. If we want our health to be better, then we must make the changes ourselves. We have to make the choices each day to try to accomplish the goals that we have set for ourselves. We have to choose the right food each day, we have to do the exercises, and set time aside to get rid of stress and to motivate ourselves to do what is right for our health. We can become physically self reliant without having to depend on anything or anyone else to make it happen for ourselves. It will be our choices, our work and our sacrifices that will bring the results that we want in our lives. We can do this! ?

We also have to remember that we are not just physical beings, but we are also spiritual beings as well. Our spirits may require even more care than everything else around us. If our spirit or our mind is weak, we can’t expect to be strong in other things, like controlling our physical cravings or giving ourselves limitations etc. It’s our spirit that brings strength to everything else in our lives. We all know that all of the material things around us are temporary and they will eventually be gone. Even our bodies will age, become weaker and at some point we wi all have to leave this earth. That is why it so important for us to not neglect the spiritual side of ourselves, It is the only thing we will take with us after this life! When we become Spiritually self reliant, we can feed our own souls with all that is good, peaceful and that will bring more light into our lives. We can take care of our own souls daily, we can build our own relationship with God, we can choose to make time to talk to Him, to let Him know how we’re feeling, to read and learn from His words, and to listen to Him after we pray to receive the revelation that He wants to provide for our lives. When we take time to talk to God and to wait to listen to Him we will receive in our hearts the inspiration and revelation that He wants to provide for our lives. We can also choose to listen daily to positive and uplifting messages that will feed our souls & help us to feel peaceful and good. This may require turning off the distractions and saying no to the things that don’t help us feel positive and uplifted.

As we choose of four own free will to take care of ourselves, to draw closer to God and to become physically and spiritually self reliant. We will see how much more strength this will bring into our lives. We will be better able to help ourselves and to be a light to those around us as well. God will be so proud of us for choosing the right things for ourselves. He will open the way and provide the blessings to move us forward towards becoming the best version of ourselves and the person that God intents us to become, 🙂 which will be better than anything else we could ever want for ourselves. 🙂

Here’s a scripture that talks more about that.

For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.

Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;

For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward. (D&C 58:26-28)

Let’s stay focused on doing good for ourselves and on making the right choices. God knows that we can do it! HE TRUSTS US TO DO IT & AS CHILDREN OF GOD WE CAN MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES! We can become spiritually and physically self reliant and we will be rewarded for our efforts in the end. 🙂

Trust in God, believe in Him and know that He is your only true source of peace in your life. YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS WITH HIS HELP & as you do your best, you will be blessed and Everything will work out 🙂

The spiritual goal for the week is: To be spiritually self reliant by making sure that we do what is necessary to come closer to God this week. We can try harder this week to talk to Him and thank Him for all He has given us, maybe we can spend a little time reading something uplifting for our souls and most importantly try to spend a little time listening for His guidance after your prayers. Write down your impressions that come into your heart and go and do them. If you seek Him, He will speak to you.❤️

Our physical goal for the week is: To be physically self reliant by making sure that we take care of choosing what is good to eat, the type of exercise that we must do and how we can mediate and quiet our minds to let go of stress etc. We can choose to take care of ourselves physically and we can be strong to say no to those things that are not good for our health. Tell yourself, “I am in control and I can do this!”

Count on the help that God can provide to remove distractions or things that get in the way of our goals and of becoming self reliant in every way possible. We must count on Him to help us spiritually, to feel God close to our lives and to allow His power to help us change our ways for the better.

Hope you can make it to class tomorrow morning for a wonderful workout, which will help us to let go of stress and to feel stronger! 🙂 We will talk about some weight loss tips and how to feel happy and beautiful in our bodies 🙂 and we will end with an amazing meditation session that will leave us feeling super peaceful, energized, renewed and ready to take on the rest of our week. Hope that we can all benefit from the power that comes from this class. ?? ? God is our source and He’s the one that strengthens us and helps us to do our best and feel great! 🙂 We all need this type of positivity in our lives each week 🙂 Hope you can make it & feel the difference. ?

Don’t forget to do your best today!…Motivate yourself to do all of those things that are good for you and remember to take it one day at a time. You can do this 🙂

Love,Lili?

Inner Peace

Our lives can be surrounded by chaos, anxiety, fear and the pressures of the constant fast pace world in which we live. It can sometimes be hard to slow down and disconnect from it all to bring into our live the inner peace that we so desperately need.

Most of the time we search for happiness and peace through different means around us. We think that by having more money, a higher social status, popularity, more material possessions or even the way in which we physically look will determine wether we feel “ happy”, “sad”, “peaceful” etc. Most of us don’t realize that the things that surround us are TEMPORARY. We won’t always have them, They are not lasting and we cannot base our levels of joy, peace or happiness on those things. We have to remember that all of these things may bring COMFORT into our lives but we should never let them determine how happy or peaceful we feel.

No material possession, money, looks, pets or even people around us can determine how we feel inside. They may affect us in one way or another because the joy or the peace that we feel from those things comes from OUR CHOICE to allow it to make us feel a certain way. It all has to do with our mental attitude. We determine how we feel and what we allow outside sources to do in our lives. They are not in charge of how we feel…. IT IS ALL UP TO US & what WE CHOOSE.

Remember that we can’t control the comments or actions of others, the way in which we are treated, the chaos in which we live or the challenges that we may be going through. These things shouldn’t ever determine how we feel inside and we shouldn’t ever let them steal our peace. WE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN PROTECT OUR INNER PEACE. If we take care of ourselves internally, of strengthening our spirits and our souls, NOTHING AROUND US CAN AFFECT US UNLESS WE GIVE IT PERMISSION TO DO SO. this is a mental state which we create for ourselves. Which one will you choose?

Choose to not let any outside sources affect your internal peace. Choose to not let anyone affect your inner happiness and peace. Choose to speak kindly and lovingly about yourself, your body, how it changes and accept it with gratitude knowing that it is a blessing to have it and to be here in this earth another day. Choose to be grateful for your body, your surroundings and most importantly for the spirit that lives inside your body that is here on this earth to learn to grow and to develop. A spirit that is meant to to LEARN how to not be affected by outside sources, but instead be strong and peaceful in the storms of life. A Spirit which connects easily to God. A spirit that desires nothing more than to get to know HIM better, to become God’s friend and to receive all strength and power from the divinity of the Father of our spirits. ❤️

Choose to create for yourself a happy state of mind constantly. Choose to look past the differences of all man and begin looking more frequently at others as the children of God which we all are. Chose to be kind, generous, giving and to do your best each day to please God and to bring that inner peace that can be protected, shielded and kept inside you. Choose to TRUST IN GOD and know that HE will allow you to receive HIS strength and power to do these things and to feel lasting peace and joy internally.

He has said, Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me.” D&C 19:23 When we try to live peacefully with ourselves, with others and when we choose to take in all of the good that is around us, we will be able to strongly feel the spirit and love of God strongly in our lives. That is the true peace and love that can never be removed from us. No outside source, no person, no challenge can steal our inner peace. We can choose to allow God’s peace to be with us more often or to even have it with us permanently. ❤️ He has promised; “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.” Remember that the peace that God offers is different from the “peace” that the world brings…His peace is lasting and not determined by anything material, popular or that brings power….His peace is a peace of love, humility, kindness, generosity & not easily to be taken away…You’ll know the difference.

Just allow the peace, the light and the joy of God fill you completely today. Do not let outside sources get to you. Remember that you are in control of your mental state and of what you allow to enter. Choose only the good and reject the bad. You are a child of God! He loves YOU!!! & wants you to slow down a little, to let go of the distractions and to FEEL HIS LASTING PEACE in your soul today and EVERY DAY! Do your best each day, Stay strong shielded and protected in the power that God brings you. Choose a peaceful and happy mental state and feel the difference. ??☀️??

Our physical go for the week is to exercise at least three days this week. (One of those days will be tomorrow in class) Part of our goal for the week is to eat one ingredient foods such as fruits and vegetables. If you find a box with lots of ingredients ? put it down and replace it with 1 ingredient food items ???

Our spiritual for the week is to keep our inner peace. I pray that as you read the message you will feel in your heart what God wants you to gain from it and what you’re meant to keep for yourself. Just say to yourself; “My inner peace is controlled by ME, I choose to keep and protect the peace that is inside my soul today” God strengthens me to feel His peace which is different from anything that the world can offer. I am peace, I am love, I am joy.”??

Tomorrow in class we will talk more about inner peace in our meditation. I hope that you can make it tomorrow at 9:30 to strengthen yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually. I know that God wants us to do good things for ourselves like this. 🙂 We Just have to make the sacrifices to make it happen ???? Do your best to strengthen yourself in every way! See you tomorrow! ??

Have a blessed & peaceful day & week.

Love,

Lili ?

Fill yourself with His light

With our busy lives and our hectic schedules it’s easy to feel distracted and disconnected from the things that God would want us to focus on. Our lives are constantly moving at a faster rate allowing for very little time to just be in silence, peace and quiet.

I know that God would want us to slow down a little, to have moments in which we can turn off the distractions, the stress and the anxiety to just be in the present and to be more centered and focused on the truly important things. When we purposefully create more times like these in our lives, we will feel more peace, clarity and joy in knowing that we have chosen to make time to slow down a bit and to connect to God. He is the one with the power to help us make our lives better, to forgive, to take the weight that we carry off of ourselves and to allow us to be filled with His light. It is ultimately up to us to choose if we truly want to STRENGTHEN OUT RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM & feel His light and power strongly in our lives.

So, how open are we to receiving the light of God in our lives? Are we building a strong communication between God and ourselves? Or Are we letting the stresses of life overpower our ability to STOP amidst the chaos and slow down a little? We are the ones who have the power and ability to stop during the stressful situations to calm our bodies and our minds and to replenish ourselves by bringing in some of His powerful light and healing that we need in our lives. Some of the ways we can do this, is by turning off the distractions, reading or listening to faith building messages, sitting outside in silence to meditate and slow down even for a little. Also, praying for inspiration and guidance will help us keep calm and trying to listen to what God speaks to our hearts through reading and searching through His words will give us the strength and power that we need for our day. Anything that we look at, listen to or allow to enter our minds will be kept within us as something positive or negative. If we want more good in our lives we gotta fill ourselves with all that is good for us! 🙂 Spiritually, emotionally and physically.

Each choice that we make is either taking us one step closer toward God, to His peace, wisdom and Love or it’s taking us in the opposite direction, away from God, toward the enemy that wants us to feel unhappy, frustrated, stressed and miserable. When it comes to choices there’s no “happy medium” it’s either toward one or the other. The choice is ours and the consequences wether good or bad will always ultimately follow and we will feel them.

When we think about God and what he’s able to provide for us. We know that He is the source of all good, all love and all light. The stresses of the world can’t get to us when we have His light. The light that He provides is wisdom, knowledge, clarity, Love and an understanding. It’s that personal relationship that YOU create with Him! Which brings you strength. He wants us to fully trust Him when He says; Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not unto your own understanding, in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

He wants us to have FAITH in HIM when he says; If ye will have Faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me. (Moroni 7:25) As we trust Him and have more faith in Him we begin to bring more of His light and power into our lives. This light begins to shine brightly through us and it flows from God unto our souls and out to the world around us. There’s another scripture which says;

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. (Mathew 6:22)

The eye is often a symbol of a persons ability to receive the light of God. When we are more open to receiving His light, we will continue to receive an increase of light and as it grows we will begin to notice that we have within ourselves an indescribable peace and a light that is brighter and that allows us to rely more fully on God and not on our own understanding. Having His light will allows us to help others and we will become an instrument for God during our time on this earth. 🙂

As we strive to bring in more light into our lives, we will make Him proud in knowing that He can count on us to be HIS HANDS, HIS EYES, HIS MOUTH & HIS FEET on this earth to do the work that He is entrusting us to do. We each have our own special assignments on this earth. The closer we are to Him the clearer our mission will be & He will let us know in our hearts what He need us to do. 🙂 We will be able to serve, give love, comfort and have kindness toward others. WE WILL lift, help, comfort and begin to focus on seeing the good in people and in the world around us. Our countenance will change, our habits, what we look at and even the way we speak will change because we will be using the words that God Himself would want us to share.

It is only when we focus on slowing down and bringing His light into our lives that we will feel the difference. Having His light with us means that WE TRUST HIM! That we have nothing to doubt, nothing to fear, we feel His love toward ourselves and others and it allows us to be even more protected from outside sources that may try to steal our peace our joy and our light. We will begin to feel stronger better able to protect ourselves from those things. Our inner power will be shielded because we won’t want it to leave us. Doing these things will allow us to NOT LET THE STRESSORS OR OUTSIDE INFLUENCES AFFECT US INTERNALLY. HIS light won’t allow negativity to enter. It is always our choice what we allow inside of ourselves. Instead we rely on our faith, on the peace and confidence that we have in God. & because He is a GOOD GOD, ALL THINGS WILL WORK OUT FOR OUR GOOD.

When we hear in Mathew that our eyes should be single. That means our vision should be focused! Focused on the important things, focused on the light of God, on the good in our lives, focused on doing good things for our bodies, our minds and spirits. Allowing only to enter into our eyes and souls those things which are ONLY GOOD FOR US! What we look at, what we read, what we think about and how we spend our time…Allows our light to either grow or be dimmed. ?

When we study the word of God we can find so many references about His light. This is another beautiful scripture that would be perfect to memorize;

And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things.

How beautiful is that?! 🙂 If our eyes are single to His Glory, if we are striving to do the works of God on this earth then He will fill our bodies with light! That is His promise to us! Having our bodies be full of light, will eventually allow us to comprehend all things. We will be one in purpose and fully aligned with God who will inspire us and help us to reach our potential, feel His love and His light in our lives. This light will Grow each and every day as we choose to bring only good things for your eyes, minds and hearts. This is how we will be able to feel the strengthening power of His light, to then be able to share it and feel it in the world around us. God would love to see us coming closer to Him. Allowing our journey to be with Him by our side, to gain more light and To allow Him to help us and guide us through it. There’s no doubt about what we can become by having Him close to us. All we have to do is act on it and feel the blessings from doing our best each day. ????

Our spiritual goal for the week is to slow down our stress a little. There are always a million things to do…but we can choose to slow down and to bring more light into our lives. Practice this week putting away some of the stressful triggers and replacing them with bringing more light into your soul. Try to notice how different and peaceful you begin to feel.

Our physical goal for the week is to eat more nutrient rich foods. The more natural and vitamin rich foods the better 🙂 Also, remember to exercise at least 2 Days this week and if possible try to meditate daily even if it’s just 5 minutes.

Tomorrow in class we will focus our workout on letting go of stress and feeling strong in God! ?? Our meditation will include getting rid of negativity and adding more light into our lives.

Hope that you can make it and benefit from doing something good for yourself. ?????

Remember to do your best one day at a Time 🙂 God knows what’s in your heart, what you desire to do, trust Him & He will bless you for your efforts. ????

Love,

The power of our thoughts

Our thoughts greatly affect our attitudes, and behavior. Every thought leads to certain actions and as we continue to act on our thoughts wether they’re good or bad, we can eventually see that we do BECOME what we think about most of the time.

So, why is it important to have good thoughts? Have you ever met a person who is extremely negative and constantly complaining?…How do you feel around that person? Maybe drained, tired or you simply don’t want to be around them. Our thoughts are always being expressed outwardly even more often than we realize. We can tell what a person thinks and the quality of their thoughts by the way in which they speak about themselves, their surroundings and others.

On the other hand, we can also notice the difference from the positive thinker. They speak and act differently, their behaviors are completely opposite and people actually enjoy being around them. Our thoughts really do have a lot more power than we think. The longer we stay in a negative state, the more likely it will become a habit, a bad habit. So, if we want to create a positive and good habit we have to practice that and continually keep our minds at a higher more positive level. Positive thinking really can create our happiness. Just one thought can make a difference.

Our THOUGHTS affect our ➡ FEELINGS, our feelings affect our ➡ ACTIONS our actions become our ➡ HABITS and our habits become our ➡ DESTINY

If we really think about it, we can see that our THOUGHTS eventually become our DESTINY! So, how important is it for us to think positively? How important is it for us to feed our minds good things?…Knowing that our thoughts will eventually become our destiny?

Proverbs 23:7 says

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:

Basically, everything that we think about we actually become. So, if we say negative things about ourselves, they will happen. If we think negatively about others, our actions will show it and all of those thoughts will eventually be returned to us. If we give off negativity we will receive it and if we think positively about ourselves, others and our situations we will give off good, positive energy that will later be returned to us positively. Keeping our thoughts positive will eventually create that peace in our hearts and allow us to become what we think about. 🙂

We are in control of what we think about and how we let it affect us. In class we talk about how nothing from the outside can affect us inside, unless we give it permission to do so. Its all a chain reaction which begins with our thoughts and how we react to the events that happen in our lives. The equation is:

Event + RESPONSE or Thought = outcome

We can always choose the thoughts & make them good for us 😉

God knows what’s in our hearts, He knows our thoughts and the desires that we have to change for the better and to be more positive and have more faith in Him.

He has said;

Yea, I tell thee, that thou mayest know that there is none else save God that knowest thy thoughts and the intents of thy heart. (D&C 6:16)

He knows the things that we want to work on and do better on. He knows our thoughts, how we feel, and because He is so full of live He will help us to overcome our negative habits. He will help us to change our minds and to make our thoughts positive and filled with faith and power on knowing that we are not alone. That our strength doesn’t just depend on us alone, but that we become stronger in God! And as His children we have access to all the love, peace and positivity that our Father possesses as long as we’re willing to be open to receive it. 🙂 He will help us. Trust in His love & know that you’re just a thought away from feeling happy, thankful, peaceful and joyful. ???

Our spiritual goal for the week is to have awareness of our thoughts. To change them into positive thoughts and to strengthen our minds by keeping the good inside of us and getting rid of anything negative with the help and power that God can provide. Our meditation in class tomorrow will have some of this in it 🙂

Our physical goal for the week is to push ourselves to exercise at least 2 days this week. The goal is to add weights or more resistance To our exercises. This will strengthen our muscles and bones and keep us feeling strong and energized. 🙂 We also want to add more water to our days this week. 😉 Make sure to do that! Our bodies need it! 🙂

Hope that you have a wonderful day thinking good thoughts about yourself and others and giving off all that is good. God will return the good that we do into our lives and our joy will be even greater in knowing that God is pleased with our thoughts, feelings and our actions. Doing these things will eventually bring peace, happiness and positivity into our lives. Remember, you’re not alone in this and you can just do your best ONE DAY AT A TIME! ❤️

Hope to see you tomorrow morning for a wonderful workout, toning and meditation. This is your chance to get rid of stress, disconnect from the negative or the unimportant to connect to your higher self. Come try it for yourself and feel the difference. Please don’t forget that Critter Camp will also be offered at 9:30am and your little ones can have a wonderful class as well. Take care of yourself and do your best for each day 🙂

Have a wonderful day!

Love,

Be a light

We all share similar emotions at this time when we see the events that have happened so close to us and all of the other tragic and terrible events that have happened and continue to happen around the world. It’s easy to feel discouraged, fearful, angry and sad during these times.

Have you ever wondered why the world seems to be getting worse and worse? It’s because the enemy knows that he’s running out of time!…He knows his days are counted and he’s trying harder and harder to influence people to do more evil and to create more fear and chaos in the world. But, just as there’s evil around us, there’s also a lot MORE GOOD! The news will never show it to us…But more and more people are doing good in the world, In our communities in our neighborhoods and all around us.

We choose not to keep our focus on the evil, the negative or on whatever the enemy is trying to do. Instead we make sure that there’s more good  within ourselves, in our families and in the world around us! 🙂 We help ourselves to get stronger by coming to God and asking Him to provide His light, His strength and His help so that we may all be united as souls who are built to do good in the world  & who are getting  stronger stronger by the minute. <3 🙂

This is what the enemy fears! That we will all come together to help one another, or to lift each other. He fears that we will be kinder and more loving toward others and that we would be willing  to do MORE GOOD in the world and become stronger children of God. We can choose to help the families who have lost a loved one, we can choose to strengthen our children! our marriages! our families, our schools, our communities and be willing to be a light to anyone whom we come in contact with. 🙂 That is why it is so important for us to act in a way in which we can help the world around us to feel more love, to be more kind and peaceful toward each other. <3 We can choose to turn these evil things into opportunities to do GOOD.

God knows every detail of what is happening in our own individual lives and in the world around us. He has an individual plan for each one of us. He is excited, willing and ready to help us!!! We are the ones that can be His hands int his world to do good and cover it with goodness starting from what we feel inside our souls to what we share with our families, friends, strangers or the world in general. He wants us to come to Him during our moments of sadness, frustrations etc… So, that He may heal our hearts and purify us with a desire to let go of those feeling and instead to be filled with His light and peace. He wants us to choose to come to Him, so that we may experience for ourselves what it is like to receive the peace that only HE can provide to our souls during the difficult times that we face. So, believe in Him, Trust in His power and allow yourself to feel covered in HIS peace, His love and his protection which will allow you to go out into the world and do some AMAZING THINGS!!! 🙂 <3

These are some of the scriptures that will help us to remember that we are children of God, that we have access to His peace, His love and His light. <3

 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Mathew 5:16)

 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Mathew 5:8)

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1)

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. (John 14:27)

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Remember, He is an amazing God! If He’s allowing us to be on this earth today it’s because our work isn’t done here yet! He gives us new opportunities to do better and to be better.  He will provide the help and healing that we need in each situation. He is trusting us to be a positive influence in the world in which we live. He loves us and will answer our prayers in his infinite timing and wisdom. We really have to doubt our doubts before we doubt our Faith! <3

So, Lets to give light to the world around us. Lets be courageous filling ourselves and those around us with light to shine in the dark if necessary. Find others to unite with, so that our lights together will be stronger and as we unite ourselves we will be able to do more & more good together.

Our goal is to be the hands of God on this earth. To do good to serve and lift others. even those who may be different from us and even strangers! Our goal is to leave this earth when our time comes in PEACE knowing that we did the best we could for those who we know and for those who we don’t know! We are all Gods children and we can all help each other in our times of need…there’s a lot we can do. So let’s do it! Let’s give light and love! Let’s flood the earth with goodness!!!!! Darkness will not prevail when there’s amazing people like all us, trying to do the best that we can to do good in the world one day at a time. There’s so much good out there! try to see it and try to find it and be an active part of it! <3

Our spiritual goal for the week is to be a light!!! We want to turn our focus toward others, not just focusing ourselves, even though its important for us to fill our minds and souls with all that is good and positive etc. But, the main goal is to do something good for another person each day of the week!  We can  help the others who are suffering, hungry, who need clothing, shelter or donations. We can give service to someone who needs it or be there for a friend or a stranger who seems down on themselves. Anything that we can do will help. We can even choose to post only positive messages for a week on social media to provide light and positive messages of love and kindness. Ask God each morning to guide you to the person that HE NEEDS YOU TO HELP & be prepared to see how incredibly amazing He makes things happen for you to be able to help others.

Our physical goal is to meditate, to take time alone to calm our minds in peace and quiet. Sit outside and let your mind be clear. Clarity will help you define you goals and also help you to realize how you want to love and take care of yourself of your body, what you eat, drink etc. Begin choosing good foods and exercise for you to make you  happy, and to give you the energy that you need for yourself and to be able to give more to others.

See you tomorrow morning at 9:30 for an amazing workout and awesome mediation session!!! Remember that starting tomorrow the Critter Camp class will start at the same time as our class in case you have little ones ages 2 & up who would like to attend.  Have a blessed and wonderful week! Stay strong! Be a light and let’s do our best one day at a time! 🙂

Love,

Lili <3

Daughter of God

We live in a world of image and comparison, where women are surrounded by pressure to look and be a certain way. The world around us wants us to place our confidence on material things, on our looks or on what we achieve.

There’s something of more meaning than all of those things. The truth is that we are all on this earth for such a small amount of time, if we use up our precious time focusing on what the rest of the world thinks, we will loose ourselves. Our  joy will begin to diminish, we will feel that have will never be “enough”and we will eventually feel the pressure of the world become so strong that it will make us feel sad, insecure, depressed and with very little love for ourselves or the life that we Do have!..

I want to remind you that there is a Father in Heaven. The father of our souls who created the universe and all of the things that exist so perfectly here on this earth and outside of the earth as well. He is the Father of our spirits! The creator of our bodies! He placed all things around us even our own selves to give variety and beauty to the earth. Can you imagine if He had made us all the same? How beautiful is it that we all have different shapes, sizes, ethnicities, colors etc..He created all of us! And we are all beautiful and perfect to Him 🙂 All of His creations, including us. Have been placed to add beauty to the earth and to testify that there is a God.

Out of all of His creations we are His most precious one. Think of the way in which your body functions, your cells, your muscles, lungs to breathe, our heart, eyes, hands etc… Our bodies are amazing and we should be filled with gratitude for having them. For the way in which they work and for being able to allow our spirit to live inside our body. This is why we want to take care of our ourselves, to please God, to show Him that we are thankful and that we treasure what He has given us.(Our body, mind and spirit) All of His creations are perfectly made. He doesn’t make anything sloppy or imperfect. Which means that your body is perfectly made. It is up to us to take good care of it and to strengthen the spirit that lives inside it. 🙂

As a son or daughter of God we have specific things to do on this earth. It is no accident that we’re here at this precise time. He sent us with a purpose to be a light to others and to help make a difference in the world.

As a son and daughter of God we can have His power and light to be with us. As we choose to come closer to Him and to live a life having a relationship with God in our lives we will feel the strength that He can provide for His children each day. Just take a moment to feel Him in your life and to allow His strength to pour over you. 🙂 You are His son or daughter, He will help you, strengthen you and lift you always! With Him there is no need to look to the world for confidence because BEING CONFIDENT IS GOD IS STRONGER THAT ANY OTHER CONFIDENCE THAT THE WORLD COULD PROVIDE.

So, be confident in HIM! Place your trust in Him! Know that the adversary is against you coming closer to God, his goal is to distract you, to fill your with discouragement, fear and negativity and to make you feel discouraged and eventually miserable like he is…But know that in those times you have a GOD WHO IS YOUR SOURCE OF POWER! Who will rescue you, help you and fill you with His strength for you to overcome anything that may come your way. Your are a child of God and as such, your potential is AMAZING!!! Trust in our father each day at a time. He love us each so deeply and individually. Allow yourself to come to Him and fill your life with the  confidence that He can provide you, and not  in the way the world thinks…But in the way that God sees it. Which is higher, stronger and more important than anything else.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.

As we live our lives acknowledging our blessings, having gratitude each day for what we’re given and placing our confidence and trust in God. We will see that it will be easier to recognize the tactics of the enemy, we will gain STRENGTH FROM OUR FATHER TO REJECT the negative or evil that goes after our peace, our minds and our souls. Our father will allow us to see how important we are to Him. He cares about the very small details of our lives as well as the big ones and our strongest desire will be to continue to be a stronger son and daughter of His on this earth. We want to please Him and to know that in Him we are confident and in Him we can do all things. <3 Stay close to Him and know in whom you TRUST. He is your strength and power each day of your life. Feel His love and be happy for what you have and for the person that He can help you become. 🙂 <3

our spiritual goal for the week is to let go of what the world may think about us and to focus on the way that God sees us. As His child we have access to Him. Our goal this week is to come closer to Him. To feel the amazing confidence that He can proved and to remind ourselves that we are strong daughter of God with confidence and courage to dissolve the evil things if the world. <3

Our physical goal is to eat more nutritious foods. Vegetables, fruits, beans and legumes. Eating healthy will help us to feel much better. Also remember to exercise and do something good for your body and your mind.

Cant wait for class tomorrow morning!!! We will be ready to exercise, get rid of stress, sickness or anything negative that we need to get rid of! & We will be ready to renew ourselves and to be filled with physical, emotional and spiritual strength!! Remember that staring tomorrow there will also be a Children’s class called Critter Camp for kids 2 & up (class is $5) & They’re going to have a great time!  The best thing is that it will be at the same time as our Lili Fitness class in case you would like to do something great for yourself and for your little one as well!  Please remember to bring water and a mat for yourself and please know that this class has zero judgements!!! You just come, do your best, meditate and leave feeling AMAZING!!!   Hope that you can be there and invite anyone who would benefit to come as well. We will all leave feeling so amazing and soooo Good!  

Have a wonderful day & know that your are loved by the most amazing God! <3

Love always,

Lili 🙂 <3

 

 

Live by Faith & not by Fear

With everything that we see in the news, in the world around us and with the different circumstances and challenges that we experience in our lives, It’s easy to feel discouraged and fearful of what could happen in the future. When we experience stress or challenges our minds begin to bring in all kinds of doubts, fears and emotions. These negative thoughts can take over and overpower our minds and souls making us feel unhappy, sad, frustrated and miserable:(…We have to be careful of how far we let our negative thoughts and emotions control us. Faith and fear can have the same power in our body, we just have to choose which one we want to hold on to. We can’t have Faith and Fear at the same time in our souls, one will always overpower the other and ultimately we are the ones who have to choose the path of either living by faith or living by fear.

We already know that the path of fear brings even more stress, anxiety, heartaches, insecurity and it’s even shown the physical damages that it can cause to our health. So, why should we choose Faith? God put us on this earth for us to learn form our experiences. He is testing us to see if we will do all the things that He has asked us to do. One of those things is to learn to walk by Faith! We must learn in this life to rely on Him, to place our full trust in God! He wants us to change our hearts ♥️ To LEARN to set aside the fear and to come to Him with Full trust, believe & Faith in God. This is one of the greatest tests of our lives. The question is; What will we choose? & How will we react?

Have you thought about how faith works? Faith is what makes everything happen. Think about the smallest little things we do daily…Before every single action there’s a thought and a desire to do something. We believe that we can do that action and we actually go and do it! 🙂 It’s that believe that lives in our daily actions. It’s because we believe that we actually try to do the action! Because we have that faith and believe in those results. For example; Would we plant ? if we didn’t think we could reap? Would we try to ride a bike if we didn’t think we could do it? Etc…It’s the belief that WE CAN! 😉 that makes it possible for us to reap the benefits. So, basically we use faith daily without even knowing it. We just forget to put it to use on the bigger things that come into our lives. Which is exactly what God is waiting for us to do! To trust Him in BIGGER & GREATER WAYS!!! & to witness what we can do ANYTHING with His help ??

He tells us In 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 

He has also reminded us by saying; Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deuteronomy 31:6

See how God has made a promise? He is a God that doesn’t lie. If he promises to be with us, then He will! It is only up to us to believe HIM and to open up the way for Him to work His promises and miracles in our lives. We have to trust His words and be ready and prepared to do them! 🙂 If we search the words and promises of God we will see that He doesn’t give us a spirit of fear (because it’s the adversary that uses fear against us & to STOP us from progressing! ) God uses FAITH! Power, Hope & belief to push us toward our progression! 🙂 ?He tells us in Isaiah 41:10 Feat thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Our world is need of more spiritual strength! ??We need to strengthen ourselves daily by filling our minds and souls with positive faith building messages. We can make our homes places of peace where we filter what we allow to enter into our homes and into our lives. As we try to do our best to bring more light into ourselves we will be better able to talk to God and have a stronger relationship wth Him. We will be able to fully let go of our fears and know that we can receive His strength by coming closer to Him and really letting Him take control of our lives by leaving it all in His hands.

When we fully trust in Him we will be able to see more clearly the miracles in our lives. We will be able to be a light to others and to be the strength that they need during their difficult times. Because when we experience God fully and completely we can testify if His power and what He can do for our lives and for the lives of those who can place their trust in Him as well. They will be able to see that God is REAL in our lives, that He loves us and that He wants us to fully let go of the fear, to push it away because we know it doesn’t come from God and to walk in this life holding on to the hand of God, handing it all over to Him and FULLY TRUSTING HIM IN ALL THINGS.

When we choose to replace our Fear with our Faith we will see how much lighter we will feel and how great it will be to witness what God can do when we have Faith and when we put the action towards what He tells us to do. Specially since we know that Faith without works is dead. So we must put in the work necessary and the ACTION to move towards that dream or that desire that God put in our hearts. By having faith and doing the work we will experience first hand the POWER OF FAITH working, growing and GROWING stronger and STRONGER in our lives.?

I hope that you can feel strengthened by the faith that is already In you. Let it grow! Allow it to take over and change your mind, your heart and your soul. Trust in God. Talk to Him and know that ALL Things will work out for your good because God loves you! He cares for you and He wants you to grow in spirit because you CHOOSE to do it, and because He promised to help you though it! 🙂 He won’t force us to do anything, He gives His words and allows us to choose. Its when we choose to trust Him that we will begin to see and feel Him with more clarity in our lives. We are children of God and we know that Faith is where we gain our strength. WE LIVE BY FAITH & Not by Fear ?♥️

Our spiritual goal for the week is to let go of fear and live by Faith! Knowing that God will protect us, He will fulfill His promises and we will work with our Faith to allow it to grow from a tiny seed into a string tree! 🙂 Remembering to place our trust in Him daily, because he wants to help us each and every day of our lives. We can talk to Him, ask Him for guidance to know what to do, and how to redo to the challenges of our lives. We give it all to Him and we follow the promptings that He speaks to our heart. His voice is peaceful, calm, full of love, we just have to make the time to talk to Him and listen. By doing so, He will direct us for Good. This week we will reject the fear, and BE FULL OF FAITH! Do it for yourself and notice how different you feel! He will bless you and help you! …Just BELIEVE in HIM ??✨

Our physical goal for the week is to make time for exercise and to choose healthy snacks.

Make the time to give yourself a gift to exercise! I know it’s sometimes the last thing we want to do, we just have to allow our minds and bodies to have even 15 minuets of something good for us physically and emotionally. Exercise helps us with both of those things. If you don’t feel motivated and need a little push, please let me know! I’ll help you in any way I can. Also remember to eat healthy snacks to feel better each day. Just ask yourself is this snack good for me? Is it nutritious? Will it help me feel better after I eat it? 🙂

Tomorrow at 9:30 am will be our first morning class!!! ? I’m so excited to be able to teach a morning class with an amazing group that is ready to do something great for themselves Physically, emotionally and spiritually 🙂 Please let go of the fear of coming and TRUST in yourself and in God that it will all be ok 🙂 Remember our spiritual goal for this week is to live by faith and not by Fear! Leave the fear at home and come in faith knowing that you will gain something wonderful from this class. I hope that you can make it! Even if it’s just to come in and meditate at the end, to help you relax and allow your mind to be calm and to feel God in your life. 🙂 Don’t let other things stop you from doing something great for yourself, all you have to do is just show up and I’ll take care of the rest. 🙂 & if your heart tells you to invite others whom God has put in your heart that may need the class, please bring them with you so that we can all come together and benefit from this class that will leave us all feeling AMAZING! Peaceful & ready to do our best and to TRUST GOD for the rest of the week! ?? Make it happen for yourself and feel the difference when you need it the most!!! ?

Hope to see you there! 🙂 Have a blessed and wonderful day! ?

Love always, 

Lilli ?

Love

Today is considered the day of love, when we show others that we care and we appreciate having them in our lives. Valentine’s Day tends to be a little commercialized, when it becomes all about gifts, dinners, outfits, outings etc. But today and this week I wanted to focus on making it a little more meaningful for me. I want to focus on that word LOVE.❤
Waking up this morning and seeing the face of my loved ones, looking out and seeing the sun, the sky, the trees and all that surrounds us. I decided to take a moment to sit outside and feel the air and to take a few deep breaths before starting my day. Sitting there I felt this immense gratitude to God for all of His gifts & after thinking about my blessings and all that I could see around me, I realized that WE REALLY ARE SURROUNDED BY GOD’S LOVE! ☀??Every day is another day that He fills us with His love, but it is only up to us to really focus on seeing it.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) 
God has given us so much more than we realize. We can show our gratitude and our love for God for all that He does for us, for ALL that he has given us and continues to give us. He wants us to really truly come to LOVE HIM ❤
He has said,
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (Deuteronomy 6: 5)
Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God. (Moroni 10: 32)
He wants us to come closer to Him daily. He has already provided ways for us to do that; Through prayer, reading His words, sitting in silence or in nature, and trying to listen to what He wants to bring into our hearts. His love is so amazing for us that He hears every single one of our prayers. He answers, He is there during the good and the difficult times of our lives. He wants us to see our potential as His children and to LOVE OURSELVES for all that we are. He wants us to have gratitude for our bodies, and to be able to look inward to see that beautiful God given soul that makes us who we are in His eyes. A soul that’s filled with peace, love and goodness.?
When we can love ourselves and see ourselves in the way that God sees us, we will be better able to love others even more, to have more compassion and to see them as God sees them.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. 
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Mathew 22: 37-39)
 
When we love our neighbor we will be better able to feel the love of God around us. We are not here to judge others but to love them. The only judge will be God and our only focus should be on making ourselves a little more Christlike each day. By doing so, we will begin to love others more purely, seeing the good in them and having love and charity for them exactly as the quote for the week states.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
God has taught us that we not only need to show love to those whom we love. Thats the easy thing to do. The true test comes when we have to love those whom we have a hard time loving. 
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (Mathew 5: 43-44)
That means that we can have LOVE for all men. Even our enemies as hard as that may sound. When we Love God, it’s easier for us to love ourselves, when we love ourselves we are able to love others and that makes it easier for us to rise above the differences or what others may have done to us. If we really love God then we should be ok with doing what he has asked us to do. If He’s asking us to love our enemies, It’s because He knows that we CAN do it! He knows that it can FREE us from holding on to things that we shouldn’t have in our hearts. And because he knows that we can rise above anger, frustration, contention  and all of those negative emotions. These are things that will only help us to better ourselves and to have true inner strength. God will help us as we seek to LOVE HIM, to LOVE  OURSELVES AND to LOVE ALL MEN! Even our enemies. He will help us! <3 We can ask for help and prove to God that we are able to do it. We are spirits of peace, of love and of light.?
As we pray and ask God for His help to love all, and as we serve and help each other. He will help us to see the love that He has for all of His children.? As we continue to show more love in our daily lives, our relationships will improve, our families will be strengthened and we will feel the peace of knowing that God is pleased wth our efforts. We will be blessed for the love that we give to God, to ourselves and to others ✨ ?
The goal for the week is to focus on LOVE. Love for God ❤ Love for ourselves <3 Love for our others and even our enemies. We can choose ways in which we can share that love with others even something as simple as praying for someone is a huge act of love. Let’s show others how much we care and love them. True love changes everything!!! ❤
Our physical goal for the week is to: Love ourselves enough to make time to exercise and eat healthy meals. The goal is to exercise at least 2 days this week. And to notice the difference in our energy when we eat healthy meals. let’s do this! ? Tonight our focus will be on strengthening ourselves. We will burn calories, tone and feel strong! & our meditation will leave us feeling mentally and spiritually strengthened for the rest of the week. Hope that you can set this goal for yourself and MAKE IT HAPPEN! ? See you tonight! 🙂 ?
Have a blessed and wonderful day,
Love,
