I’m Just Sayin-#99 A Day of Gratitude for the Blessings in Our Lives that are Bountiful and Precious! We are To Take Nothing and No One

For Granted!

Life affords us so much beauty and grace,
We need to indulge in our blessings and be,
“Grateful”!

Gratitude: A day in which we can gather as a family and pay homage for our blessings.

We don’t celebrate the traditional Thanksgiving Day, as a result of our awakening to the truth of the story that we were taught in by our traditional American institutions, but as a family that values our faith in “Great Spirit”, and what has been done to support the lives of our family and friends, we celebrate “Our Day of Gratitude”! We believe that gratitude as an attribute of our character is a personal mandate that we impose upon ourselves! It is a given! It is effortless! It is the guiding force in how we live our lives and acknowledge that “if not for the grace of God”, our lives would not be filled with as much love, compassion, and joy as we are blessed to have! Gratitude for the blessings that have been bestowed upon us, gratitude for what others have done for us, requires letting go of a humongous ego and be humble enough to understand that it is not just important to give, it is important to receive and bless those that are gracious enough to give!

So today, as we gather with those family members that are here, we will pray prayers of gratitude for all our blessings. We will acknowledge those that are and have been blessings in our life!  We acknowledge the legacy of our ancestors and the wisdom of our elders!

We will model for our children and grandchildren, that gratitude impacts our attitude and attitude impacts the quality of our divine life’s expression! So today, to all that read this note, I pray that your life be blessed with the wholeness of “gratitude”!

My prayer for the world today is that “Great Spirit” intercedes in the fragmentation, hatred, racism, classism, warring spirits, the lack of compassion for humanity, and brings this world back to what was intended for this planet that was gifted to and for us. Lift up in your thoughts today all the blessings that have been given unconditionally us and our love ones. Let us never forget that we must live our lives from a place of gratitude. Trust me, it changes the quality of your life and your perspective on life.

Ashe! Ashe! Ashe!

Prayers of the Prayer Warriors United. Peace That Surpasses All Understanding. More Love, More Joy, More Time in the Present!

Hear Our Prayers “Great Spirit”
Day – 2

Dear ‘Great Spirit”,

We live our lives so attached to the past and the future, that we miss the beauty and blessings in the “Present”!  Undergird our passion and quest to seek the situations, people, and understanding that will enhance the quality of our life experiences in the “now”.  Sensitized us to operating grounded in the “present” of our lives so that this grounding makes us not only aware of what is happening in the here and now of our life, but that we are awake enough to be both discerning and appreciative for what plays out in our life’s blueprint.  We realize that a life void of experiences that challenge our “divine character and abilities” will not move us into the process of our soul’s evolution.  The amazing thing about this life we are living is that we have you “Great Spirit” as an eternal partner who when we but ask- “Will order our steps” so that we are always living and operating in “Great Spirit’s” “Divine Holy Light”. 

Thank you, “Great Spirit”, for leading us and guiding us along and through this human experience.  May we always trust the path you have provided us that shines with radiant light.  May we always be open to listening to you as you whisper words of wisdom in our “spirit’.  May we always give you praise and adoration for the gift of our human life.  May we always choose you since you chose us first.  May we always realize that making our relationship the first priority in our life, that we are never alone, never forgotten, never abandoned and always loved unconditionally.

Ashé!  Ashé!!  Ashe!!! Amèn!!!!

Today’s Prayer is dedicated to my sweet sweet brother Lloyd E. Galloway, Jr. for his courage, tenacity, and ability to love and be loved unconditionally. A life that brought purpose to the lives of all that knew him. I know today as you transitioned to our Heavenly Father, the Angeles met him at the gates with love and affection. Although he could not walk or talk, he rode this life that challenged him with cerebral palsy in a shield of determination and faith. He was fearless and bold. He was an agent of change. Lloyd lived a life of gratitude in spite of his physical limitations and taught us how to live in gratitude!

Please feel inspired to comment in the comment section if you or someone you know would like to be added to our prayer list. We are praying without ceasing!

Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!! November 22nd, 2024- Day 80  My Lord What a Morning, My Lord What a Morning, Oh, My Lord What a Morning, When the Stars Begin to Fall, When the Stars Begin to Fall, You’ll hear the trumpet sound, To Wake a Nation Underground, Looking to my God’s right hand,  When the Stars Begin to Fall,  When the Stars Begin to Fall,

Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

Daily Mantra:

There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

Chat for the day: 

I find such peace when I reach back to the songs of my ancestors.  They are songs that depict the journey of their life experiences as individuals and as a collective.  I love the stories that are told through the lyrics and the melodies because they revibrate the texture of the emotions and the fortitude that enabled them to navigate their pilgrim’s journey through this country.  The vibration I feel in my soul when I sing Negro Spirituals carries me to heights that I feel as though I am not on this earthly plane.  I transpose time and space, and I come into communion with my ancestors.  It is a “divine” gathering of our kindred souls!  It takes me to a place of empowerment and revelation.  I feel as though I am being washed in their love and guided by their insight.  I feel set free from worry and doubt!  Each spiritual sets a stage for a lesson learned and gives hope for what we can do in the future.

 I understand now that in the time we are living that the references to heaven, it not that time and space when we are pure spirit, but the call for us to make this world what it was intended to be.  I feel renewed!  I feel energized!  I feel as though my faith is boundless and limitless.  There is nothing that is impossible because the groundwork has been done!  We have a foundation on which to build.  Each of us come from a family lineage of ancestors that have had to forge through life to meet their challenges to survive and overcome.  If you know where you are coming from it supports your journey in all aspects of your life. 

This is the time for families to come together and “share story” and gather all the tools you can to navigate this time in your life.  Learn as much as you can about your heritage, cultural background. Open your eyes and your heart to being accessible and available to what you might discover that will broaden your perspective and understanding of humanity. 

The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: Fill my soul with the songs of the ancestors.

Angelic Prayer Warriors Hear Our Prayers “Great Spirit” Día 1

Dear ‘Great Spirit”,

As we your Prayer Warriors come to you in love, faith, and humility, we ask for your guidance and support in our lives and for the deliverance of our humanity that is in chaos and confusion.  We have left undone those things we should have done, and done those things we should not have done.  We have forgotten about the love and passion you poured into each of us as you designed and created our “divine identities” and “Divine Life Purpose”. 

You hold the keys to our redemption and salvation from those principalities that seek to manipulate and reconstruct us from who you intended us to be.  We know with the tenderness of your love and compassion for us, you will intercede with your band of Warrior Prayer Angeles, and lead us into the “light “ of your holiness and into the protection of your almighty power that surpasses all human understanding or imagination.

Ashé!   Ashé!!   Ashé!!!    Amen!

Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!! November 14th, 2024- Day 79. I’m So Glad, Trouble Don’t Last Always!Cause When Peace Like a River Attendeth My Soul I Know That ‘Great Spirit has Absolute Control! Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression. 

Peace that surpasses all understanding!

Daily Mantra:

There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

Chat for the day: 

Today I am setting an intention to dedicate these morning blogs to uplift our spirits and to establish a community where we operate our collective and individual lives in the light of faith, joy, peace and of course the greatest of all these intentions-Love.  Today I would like to reach back to my journey in my Christian faith because it was so entrenched in the culture and spiritual rituals of not only Christianity but also the life experiences, values, and spirituality of our African American ancestors.  The hymns, prayers, and testimonies told stories of their collective challenges that tested and strengthen their faith.  The fellowship and mentorship of our elders, that taught us about the value and importance of our “word”.  The skill sets they instilled in us to know how to not just navigate, and survive, but gave us hope that we can thrive in spite of what we encountered.  There are unspoken codes that are our shield and armor.  Some of us that realized that our life is intertwined in the fabric of our family tribe, have had the benefit of being nurtured, guided, protected, and loved unconditionally by our family tribe.  We know that we are being lifted up!  We know that we are not alone!  We know there is available for us grace and mercy when we are in need. 

It is important for all of us at this time, in this space, and in the illusion that is trying to become our reality, that we must stand firm and resolute in our faith, and “divine purpose”.  Now is the time for us to pour into ourselves and into the ones we consider to be our family tribe, all the elements that will support and sustain our well-being.  The beauty that lies in all of us that still carry our divine illuminous light, must shine and share that light with the world.  We are the agents of peace.  We are the agents of compassion!  We are the agents of love and inclusion.  We must stand firm in our belief that “trouble don’t last always” and that each day as we rise and open our eyes, we affirm that “Great Spirit” is in charge!  Have a blessed and beautiful day! 

Ashé my sisters and brothers-Ashé!

The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: Trouble don’t last always!

    Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!!November 13th, 2024- Day 78Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of thePower of “Great Spirit”!  Fear Not! Want Not! Know that All is Well with the Collective Energetic Soul of Humanity! Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression. 

    With the love and care of “Great Spirit”,
    We are never between a rock and a hard place,
    Because intercession comes on time and in time!

    Daily Mantra:

    There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.

    I want each of us to breathe a sigh of calm even though we know that there is a storm of change that will challenge all of our principles and practices as a Democratic society.  My knowingness tells me that I shall not get tired or weary in holding on to my faith and trust that all will be resolved and righteous and justice will prevail because ultimately “Great Spirit” is in charge.  This upheaval of the status quo on which we have formulated our lives, led us into apathy and a false sense of security.  We have taken too much for granted and so now we are having a “Global Shake Up”.  Help is on the way!  Resistance to the things that will cause unjust pain and chaos in all our lives, will not separate us from the elements that “Great Spirit” has endowed for each of our lives.

     Fill your hearts with joy because the “lost ones” engulfed in the Mega frenzy, want to steal your joy!  Fill your soul with peace!  Fill your heart with compassion!  Fill your thoughts with your dreams and aspirations.  Be Kind!  Be Civil!  Be righteous in your dealings with others!  Reach out to build community with family and friends.  Get busy doing acts of kindness and sharing your “divine gifts” to support the well being of your community and organizations that are sustaining the resources that humanity needs to not just survive but to thrive.  We can do this!  We have the intelligence, tenacity, fortitude, and heart space to raise the vibration of humanity and the planet we have been gifted.  You are an instrument holding the notes that will vibrate the new song that will swell across the universe.  One soul’s vibration at a time!  Peace be still

    The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: Everything is going to be well with my soul.

      I’m Just Sayin-Notes from Beth #94- 11/11/24. Just FYI!  The Portal is Open Today So This is the Time to Pray for Peace, Pray for Love, Pray for Compassion to be Showered Down Upon This Planet!  Pray to Bring Back Wholeness and Goodness to the Fabric of Humanity!

      Mine eyes have seen the glory of the majesty of “Great Spirit’s Handworks!
      This is the time that the veil between the earth and the heavens are at their thinnest.  The Spiritual world is available and accessible for counsel and direction.

      I would like to invite all my family, friends, and followers to take advantage of today to pray that this world be redeemed and rescued from powers and principalities that are geared to rob us of what this world was designed and created to be.  Let us take this opportunity to go into our sacred spaces and pour out our hearts to “Great Spirit”.  Let us ask for intervention to bring about peace, love, justice, compassion, and righteousness.  This is could not be more timely and divinely orchestrated.  We are the prayer warriors that are being called into action.  Our individual and collective prayers are powerful beyond what the human experience can imagine.  Hear our prayers “Great Spirit”!  Hear our prayers!  I know from personal experience that PRAYER WORKS!!!

      Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!! November 8th, 2024- Day 74  Trouble Don’t Last Always! So Stay in your Light!Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

      I see the changing of the seasons of not just nature,
      but the changing of our season that we are birthing in our
      humanity.  We are coming home to our original selves!

      Daily Mantra:

      There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

      I know that this has been a difficult week to process how our lives will be impacted by the chain of events of the American election.  For many of us it has taken our breath away, for others it has flamed their fire for hatred and all the elements that bring us closer to in relationship to one another.  My friends, the light of righteousness and wholeness will not let the darkness of these people living in their pain bodies, dictate who we are as light barriers of goodness, joy, and pure love.  We have the contrast in our lives right now so that we have an opportunity to show humanity who God has designed and created us to be in the world. 

      We must now buckle down and work on bringing our light and love forward so that people feel the authenticity and power of our “divine identity”.  We are the change makers!  We are the light givers!  We are the breath of the God giving energy that propels and sustains our collective humanity on this earthly plane.  We are as powerful as the light we shine from our individual soul’s expression and when united with other lights of love and compassion, we will help to birth the world that is not disconnected from “God”! 

      We will be able to be our natural authentic beings and know that we have purpose and are enough to move mountains.  We will realize that we are self-reliant, self-motivated, and love ourselves for who “Great Spirit” endowed us to be in this world but not of this world.  The truth being that we operate in concert with those of us, that know that we are more than flesh with soul’s that soar to the heavens.  We must step into our divine destiny and be our divine identities because that is why we have been chosen to be here on this earth, at this time.  Be cheerful! Be faithful! Be

        I’m Just Sayin-Notes from Beth #92 Why am I Not Surprised at the Outcome of the American Election!!! Fortunately, or Unfortunately, Because of Who I am, and the Lineage I come From, This is Business as Usual!  America will Never be Free From Racism and Fear!

        As did my ancestors and parents, we have been down this road so many times in our journey living in America, and we have found a way to survive and even at times thrive!  Today I ask “Great Spirit” to care for us through this storm and guide us to freedom and justice for all mankind.

        The absolute most unbelievable yet believable election results that surfaced in this country last night, took my breath away.  I know in my intuitive spirit, that Kamala Harris should have won that election.  I know that there was interference and manipulation from dark energy by statements and actions that engulfed this campaign for presidency of the United States of America, but we have to find a way to rise above the destruction and vengeance that will be unleashed on our country.  There are elements that don’t want America to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.  There are elements that don’t want to see unity, love and respect among the different ethnicities and ideologies that represent this country.  What they do not understand is that where there is darkness and despair, there is light, faith, and courage that can break through the principalities of what is not of “Great Spirit”!

        I will reflect on this moment for as long as “Great Spirit” wants to engage in a conversation on this situation in our country.  “I know there is a Master Plan and that everything is in His hands.  I will not go into defeat and depression.  I will not succumb to any of the uncivil and hurtful actions of this element that will be on course to destroy our humanity, much less our country.  I will not change the quality of my life and the lives of my children and grandchildren.  As did our forefathers that were captured and sold into slavery, I will not ever go into physical or mental bondage!  I will stand in my faith that “Great Spirit” and only “Great Spirit” is the “Captain” of my soul’s destiny!  I will continue to be a loving spirit!  I will continue to be an advocate for children and families because that is my “Divine Purpose”.  I will never be silent with the divine messages that “Great Spirit” shares with me.  I will continue to be “ME”.

        Sunday Morning Prayers-#66“. Great Spirit” Wants Us To “Stop with the ‘Hoping’ and go with the ‘Knowing’!When You Live ‘By Faith’, You Have an Intuitive Connection with “Great Spirit”, that Grounds You in ‘The Knowing’, That All is Well With My Soul!

        It is impossible for it to be anything else but “in divine right order” that each season of our life is meticulously designed and crafted by “Great Spirit”, so with faith as our lightening rod and shield, there is no space for hope! 

        Dearest “Great Spirit”,

        We know that you know every aspect of our being and how we operate in the world.  We are asking today that you fill our souls with abiding faith in you so that we live the fullness of the life experience that you prepared for us.  You know that living our life through faith is a “big” lesson for us and that you patiently and lovingly guide us through the journey. 

        I know that “hope” is a natural part of what we as human beings at times of challenges or just in a space of busy in the process of manifesting our visions for our life, indulge in at that is not a negative response.  I just think at this point in our humanity we need to tune into-connect with-entrench ourselves in the power of that “intuitive relationship we have access to with “Great Spirit”!  We need to tap into that resource because it is so much more powerful and grounds us in the gift of “knowing what is in fact possible if we execute our faith in all matters of our life.  These are days of so much extraordinary changes and unbelievable events that are testing our courage to have faith and trust in our relationship with “Great Spirit”.  We cannot afford to falter at this point.  We must be intentional and convicted about holding fast to our “knowingness that is grounded in our faith”!  Faith in “Great Spirit” and faith in ourselves as who we are in our “divine design”! 

        I know it might look like this act of “knowing” is risky and even scary at times depending on what we are praying for, but it is always “divine intervention” that responds to our prayers through our faith!  When we come to an understanding of how “Faith” works, we live a very different and amazing kind of life.  You find yourself less stress and anxious.  You find yourself sharing your faith with those who need support in their lives because your life experiences call you to do so.  You find yourself feeling more joy, more love, more peace, more compassion and more expansive empathy for others.  So, the thought for today is to-

        “Stop with the ‘Hoping’ and go with the ‘Knowing’ that Your ‘Faith’ is Enough!

        Ashé!   Ashé!!   Ashé!!!   Amen!!!!
