Come everyday for inspiration. Almost everybody is going through something and you can get through it with Jesus. I am a witness to that fact. Never give up on the great blessings God already has lined up for you. Jeremiah 29:11 says, 'He knows the plans He has for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'

That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do. </span><p></p><p><b style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/product-page/momentum-and-movement-ebook-audio-with-bonus-workbook">CLICK</a> to get my latest ebook collection that will help you get MOVING regarding the things you want in your life.</span></i></b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/product-page/momentum-and-movement-ebook-audio-with-bonus-workbook" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrLHKqbP8tzPzyuvXnDdJK4wWICZ4hrEHSgf5EOLj5bFiLAcF8zMgxRl0_LQoiaox8_Q6SoZKlDuHnbt_I7sqHmKvNYfVW4QZvPeNP76nXUR4Lz5fcARbRMPceyWQDLkZpFNjbt6vgnMY/s320/Momentum+and+Movement+.png" /></a></div>In Sharon's Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12938710902912764671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228160511400581709.post-44724857275659250142020-09-26T09:05:00.002-04:002020-09-26T09:05:33.914-04:00Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Click to listen to today's podcast episode.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="102px" scrolling="no" src="https://anchor.fm/thedailydevotional/embed/episodes/511--Protecting-My-Peace---Day-96---Disciplining-Ourselves-for-Next-Level-Greatness-ek6uem" width="400px"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.thedailydevotional.org/2020/09/protecting-my-peace-day-96-we-have-to.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwGWswBVmpeJ8C5MM7Z1XkNjQnSCxGEdluLo1vykzv6r38XHgKxEw0-PyqvQ9YgKsLmOvT0Pt0spABagiX3Sf9Advy_eIBqtljI9PQ2syq5PrGhJ2gqLpc9JafLQK6umChU2m5frQ4B38/s320/Blogger+Image.webp" width="320" /></a></div>When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else.

Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certainly does not come as a surprise to me, because I know I'm flawed and drop the ball constantly. Yet, we rise.<b><i> We rise.</i></b><div><br /></div><div>And guess what else? God is still with me and He's still with you too. He knows we are human and we fall short.

Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.<div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/product-page/momentum-and-movement-ebook-audio-with-bonus-workbook">CLICK</a> to get my latest ebook collection that will help you get MOVING regarding the things you want in your life.</span></i></b> </span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/product-page/momentum-and-movement-ebook-audio-with-bonus-workbook" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrLHKqbP8tzPzyuvXnDdJK4wWICZ4hrEHSgf5EOLj5bFiLAcF8zMgxRl0_LQoiaox8_Q6SoZKlDuHnbt_I7sqHmKvNYfVW4QZvPeNP76nXUR4Lz5fcARbRMPceyWQDLkZpFNjbt6vgnMY/s320/Momentum+and+Movement+.png" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div></div>In Sharon's Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12938710902912764671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228160511400581709.post-46918684191574655852020-09-12T10:46:00.003-04:002020-09-12T10:46:54.274-04:00Protecting My Peace - Day 94 - Love Yourself More Than You Love Other People<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Click to listen to today's podcast episode.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="102px" scrolling="no" src="https://anchor.fm/thedailydevotional/embed/episodes/510--Protecting-My-Peace---Day-94---Love-Yourself-More-Than-You-Love-Other-People-ejg6s0" width="400px"></iframe></div><p><span face="Karla, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.thedailydevotional.org/2020/09/protecting-my-peace-day-94-step-out.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1KnNaG-0TjyXIehoscpeXcoQXLn_s6LzjGGVKuxzN4XHx3b-jbmv-2Vq7MYzqvhsGy26RRNbeUZTl_zX74jg0Ko-YHT8QtFNVIuPsnDzDIGZ4YXHN1YoEv0B5o-UEc7G-31JCfOp5M_I/s320/Blogger+Image.png" width="320" /></a></div>Do you know that when we love ourselves more than we love other people, we can be much more present for others?

It didn't serve me well when I showed up for everyone else except myself, just to do "what was right", to be the "good girl", or the team-player.

Do you like what you have? Don't have? Whatever the answer, just know that things change. <br /><br />Let's take things that may not be ideal right now Like maybe you have a less than desirable house, car, or whatever. Know that as long as you speak positive over your situation, believe in yourself, and of course believe God, then grind as much as possible, things will change. They really will. If you can't do all of those things at once (speak, believe, and grind), I totally get it. I completely understand. It was hard for me at one time in my life too. Yet, what I did know is that the things I was lacking was temporary. That's right, I knew God would make a way out of no way, I knew my situation would change, and I believed I would get better.

We have to push through, because we can achieve what we want regardless of the people, places, and things around us. </div><p></p><p>I remember being in a state and city I disliked and no matter how much I tried to like it, I never did and never will. It was so much different than who I was, but I made the best of it, because I always knew it was temporary. I continued to work hard on my dreams and I did achieve great things there. But when it time to go I pretty much ran to a place I wanted to be. And when I got to that new place, my mental health got better, because I was happier there. I was like a fish in water and big things started happening. </p><p>What I'm saying is that even though we may find ourselves in a mental or physical place, we don't have to resign ourselves to being there forever. We can still see the vision God has for us and we can continue doing the work to get there. </p><p>Never settle.

Do you see yourself in a better place? <div><br />Envisioning where we want to be and what we want to be doing, is paramount to a successful business and life. We have to at least "see" it -- we have at least see what God has for us. I've come to encourage you to work towards doing something everything to build your online business and you will get there. It won't be overnight, but you will get there.

Sometimes in the different cycles of life, we have to go in diverging directions from people we have connected with. Those connections may have been for a long time, but it may be time to shift and move from them. What I mean is that the alignment with certain people has changed and that's ok. No hard feelings. We may still value and believe the same things, but the specific things we have going on differs from they have going on. We have shifted to a new attitude of bigger when they have an attitude of smaller. We still love each other and we still wish each other well, it's just that things are different now and we are starting to align with new and exciting thinkers. <br /><br />So be alright with God who may well be the author of things shifting in your life and when that's the case, all will definitely be ok. It really will. <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: center;"><b><i><font color="#d52c1f">Free </font></i></b><font color="#000000">Protecting My Peace Workbook</font></a></p><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtyMkOZBHDr24CYbyumsDksWZcFPTWpD6XnDlE8AMQeu6u_sZCGVu42e9Xakw3dUpLe0dNndoUKKVHQVrMzrYlauwMf_w0A5jlxMfcOPsNkZLfd_qmnWC6L1xGCxBegD46mrnT-D0GLoE/s320/COVER-Protecting+My+Peace+.png" style="cursor: move;" /></a>In Sharon's Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12938710902912764671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228160511400581709.post-69522514148252104682020-07-28T08:20:00.001-04:002020-07-31T08:20:24.698-04:00Protecting My Peace - Day 84 - Watch Who You Let Speak Into Your Life<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Click to listen to today's podcast episode.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="102px" scrolling="no" src="https://anchor.fm/thedailydevotional/embed/episodes/499--Protecting-My-Peace---Day-84-ehbjuq" width="400px"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="auq9n" data-offset-key="cloo8-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="cloo8-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="cloo8-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.thedailydevotional.org/2020/07/protecting-my-peace-day-84.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1w-00pGW7_DxSzz6jY5U6H2tA9oXOJZNCfjdQbWyaqTDDk7hOWfwXUHKu3IQBHZgkUuPkPUMXrh5KrsjfsaMnsNhEdUzo-pP1p2oANyIHwpqhxox4eUxGHwsEtZp-49szzLdJ6Q9AtSI/s320/Blogger+Image.webp" width="320" /></a></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="9irjd" data-offset-key="2use0-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 14px;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="2use0-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: center;"><span data-offset-key="2use0-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-text="true" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Regarding your gift and protecting your peace, we have to watch who we let speak into our lives. Who are we listening to? Are we around eagles or chickens? Do we let people talk us out of doing what lives in our heart regarding creating different things for our brand and our products for our business? Listen, whatever you want to do, do it as long as you know it's right for you and your business. If you're around great coaches, consultants, and mentors who are giving you good feedback that you can weigh in what's right for your business, go with it.</span></span></div></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="9irjd" data-offset-key="9eu62-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 14px 0px;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="9eu62-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: center;"><span data-offset-key="9eu62-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-text="true" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What I'm saying is that we can listen to the wisdom of the people who want greater for us. And can weed out the noise and the distractions, because they are coming from negative places. So know who you are and who you want to serve and keep moving in that direction.</span></span></div></div></span></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman";"><b><i><font color="#d52c1f">Free </font></i></b><font color="#000000">Protecting My Peace Workbook</font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="4cim3-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span data-offset-key="4cim3-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium; text-align: center; white-space: normal;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtyMkOZBHDr24CYbyumsDksWZcFPTWpD6XnDlE8AMQeu6u_sZCGVu42e9Xakw3dUpLe0dNndoUKKVHQVrMzrYlauwMf_w0A5jlxMfcOPsNkZLfd_qmnWC6L1xGCxBegD46mrnT-D0GLoE/s320/COVER-Protecting+My+Peace+.png" style="cursor: move;" /></a></span></div></div>In Sharon's Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12938710902912764671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228160511400581709.post-51757045584509619162020-07-27T10:29:00.001-04:002020-07-31T08:21:59.341-04:00Protecting My Peace - Day 83 - Are You Afraid of Using Your Gift?<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Click to listen to today's podcast episode.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="102px" scrolling="no" src="https://anchor.fm/thedailydevotional/embed/episodes/498--Protecting-My-Peace---Day-83-eh90v8" width="400px"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.thedailydevotional.org/2020/07/protecting-my-peace-day-83.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb8l36W6QQLfvagxaK9F_rh0ddnBc0UYJfsKszruxaxm9DFCJr6ulX_40LHoNHSYz-JMSeTwcvm7czZH9YkDCaBbmtpKQZ3b6fbEN0_cC81Nv5Vy9_k2t7ikoXeu7bIsRFAO9e04GzVXg/s320/Blogger+Image.webp" width="320" /></a></div>I want to continue talking about our God-given gift and fear. Are we afraid of using our gift? Are we letting people talk us out of being focused towards what our gift will do for us and where our gift will take us? Are we planting that gift in good soil, nourishing that gift, and giving it the TLC it needs? We have to continue building despite what we may see around us. We can't let fear get the best of us. I used to operate out of fear and didn't know it until I got out of it. Now I can think back and say, 'oh no, I now realize how I used to think and no mas! I don't ever want to think in a self-defeatist way. I know God has more for me and my business.' <div><br /></div><div>Bottom line: keep moving forward no matter what you may see in the natural. Keep your eye on the vision God has for you and do something everyday to appreciate that gift. It doesn't matter what is around us, we can use our gift for good; to help people; and to build an empire. Yes we can. Be bold and courageous. God's got you. He didn't put that gift in you for nothing. He remembers. <div><div><br /></div><div><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="4cim3-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span data-offset-key="4cim3-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;"><b><i><font color="#d52c1f">Free </font></i></b><font color="#000000">Protecting My Peace Workbook</font></a></span></div><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="4cim3-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span data-offset-key="4cim3-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium; text-align: center; white-space: normal;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtyMkOZBHDr24CYbyumsDksWZcFPTWpD6XnDlE8AMQeu6u_sZCGVu42e9Xakw3dUpLe0dNndoUKKVHQVrMzrYlauwMf_w0A5jlxMfcOPsNkZLfd_qmnWC6L1xGCxBegD46mrnT-D0GLoE/s320/COVER-Protecting+My+Peace+.png" style="cursor: move;" /></a></span></div></div></div></div>In Sharon's Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12938710902912764671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228160511400581709.post-71826819653392242172020-07-23T08:13:00.001-04:002020-07-31T08:23:29.594-04:00Protecting My Peace - Day 82 - It's Ok To Make Money With Your Gift<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Click to listen to today's podcast episode.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="102px" scrolling="no" src="https://anchor.fm/thedailydevotional/embed/episodes/497--Protecting-My-Peace---Day-82-eh4jue" width="400px"></iframe></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.thedailydevotional.org/2020/07/protecting-my-peace-day-82.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA323ND1BjbCsAL1mDDd2qcqXAo7d3TdBEMAvcnLgxa4oP4H0o8p9BKgjPz5sr-8CfLVPvnMq8AKFwU4kucRQAeID-QR5e2WctiCu0Z0UCGwQy5r6IwHv49nhmQ85KDKQ2r2VD-vqEezk/s320/Blogger+Image.webp" width="320" /></a></div></span><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="5t6ci" data-offset-key="1mtdp-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="1mtdp-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="1mtdp-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Let's continue our conversation on your God-given gift. Remember it's ok to make money in your gift, but answer this question: are you using your gift to help yourself and to help others? Do you have your eye on God's vision for your life? If so, great, keep walking towards it. If not, that's ok, but it's time to start walking towards it. Yes, it's time to stop being afraid. It's time to go forth and multiply. Use your gift for good and God will see to it that you are even more blessed in your life and your business. God will see to it that you will continue to be blessed when you are serving people using our gift. He will do that for everyone of us. Yes, He will. </span></div></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="5t6ci" data-offset-key="d28ob-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 14px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="d28ob-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="d28ob-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Don't be afraid to do something everyday to build your gift.

And also remember that our gifts are not only for us, they're for us to be a blessing in order to bless others. They're not for selfish gain or to say 'look at me, look at me.' Our gifts are to expand the things God wants us to expand regarding His kingdom of light, love, justice, equal rights, peace, joy, and things similar to those. If our gift is not promoting any relating to those things, then there's a problem and perhaps we may not be using our gifts properly. </span></div></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="1pqsp" data-offset-key="co2nd-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 14px 0px;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="co2nd-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="co2nd-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;">So if you're using and living your gift every day, continue to do that as you improve your life and the lives of others around you.

No, you WILL survive and you WILL thrive. Do you believe how much God has for you? Do you believe the vision hasn't moved? Well, believe it, because it's true.

I was to be at a walking event and it included networking. Yet when the morning of the event came I didn't want to get up and get going, but I thought about the event organizer and decided that going was the right thing to do no matter how I felt. I ended up going and I made a great friend with a person who also showed up. We were of two different ethnic background (me, black and she, white). We immediately made a fast business connection -- diversity at work once again when we are willing to go outside our comfort zones by showing up and doing more, right? At any rate, we can do more by showing up for people. When we show up for people. we show up for ourselves. When we show up for ourselves, we show up for people. </span></div></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="49r6e" data-offset-key="5fa17-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 14px 0px;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="5fa17-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="5fa17-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Do more.</span></div><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="5fa17-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="5fa17-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: karla, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: karla, sans-serif;"><span data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;"><b><i><font color="#d52c1f">Free </font></i></b><font color="#000000">Protecting My Peace Workbook</font></a></span></div><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: karla, sans-serif;"><span data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium; text-align: center; white-space: normal;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtyMkOZBHDr24CYbyumsDksWZcFPTWpD6XnDlE8AMQeu6u_sZCGVu42e9Xakw3dUpLe0dNndoUKKVHQVrMzrYlauwMf_w0A5jlxMfcOPsNkZLfd_qmnWC6L1xGCxBegD46mrnT-D0GLoE/s320/COVER-Protecting+My+Peace+.png" style="cursor: move;" /></a></span></div></span></div></div></div></div>In Sharon's Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12938710902912764671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228160511400581709.post-74272257365871103482020-07-14T07:50:00.001-04:002020-07-31T08:31:54.393-04:00Protecting My Peace - Day 76 - Doing More May Mean Being Inconvenienced<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Click to listen to today's podcast episode.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="102px" scrolling="no" src="https://anchor.fm/thedailydevotional/embed/episodes/491--Protecting-My-Peace---Day-76-egnml7" width="400px"></iframe></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="f4s5b" data-offset-key="8csa0-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="8csa0-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="8csa0-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.thedailydevotional.org/2020/07/protecting-my-peace-day-76.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOksldZcNeFIvpoz9qudNfQ-jBsk6t9zgim1Ngj5H6VdUeG9oINIixk8SaJVPmx4At9KcFBFprD7fZwLCTmI8I13KZpjmaixNrWVyjQznAC-sdqYNIajqMnkljCTI_rAmYR-CpGVyJ7Yw/s320/Blogger+Image.webp" width="320" /></a></div>Are you doing more in your personal life and business? Doing more may mean being inconvenienced, which can also mean going out our way in order to get blessings for our lives. When someone conducts training, workshops, or other functions, do we sign up, enroll, or register, but don't show up? Do we make excuses as the days and hours come upon us? Do we convince ourselves that we have something more important to do when we don't? If that's the case, then we're probably missing out on important information and key resources that will help us go forward. </span></div></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="f4s5b" data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 14px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Consider this: the people who show up -- who do more -- are the ones who will get more abundance. </span></div><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></span></div><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;"><b><i><font color="#d52c1f">Free </font></i></b><font color="#000000">Protecting My Peace Workbook</font></a></span></div><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="f90k1-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium; text-align: center; white-space: normal;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtyMkOZBHDr24CYbyumsDksWZcFPTWpD6XnDlE8AMQeu6u_sZCGVu42e9Xakw3dUpLe0dNndoUKKVHQVrMzrYlauwMf_w0A5jlxMfcOPsNkZLfd_qmnWC6L1xGCxBegD46mrnT-D0GLoE/s320/COVER-Protecting+My+Peace+.png" style="cursor: move;" /></a></span></div></div>In Sharon's Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12938710902912764671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228160511400581709.post-46790002369709416732020-07-13T08:17:00.004-04:002020-07-31T11:26:25.674-04:00Protecting My Peace - Day 75 - You May Be the First in Your Family to Get Abundance and Prosperity<div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>Click to listen to today's podcast episode.</b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="102px" scrolling="no" src="https://anchor.fm/thedailydevotional/embed/episodes/490--Protecting-My-Peace---Day-75-egm5dt" width="400px"></iframe></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="f4cjb" data-offset-key="58g64-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="58g64-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="58g64-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.thedailydevotional.org/2020/07/protecting-my-peace-day-75.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXxgSow7xmhGy-xJdYV7EulDkQYGasgR_CB07gzedlz6-rLR5BXB3PYtpi_cZFo_KWwXVvKr5fpl_78fd2QIgUBGAvbvmb9sa5R-Hdw5Hw3TgbTgErt9rJykEJrf7kBDFTUeobawCZHuU/s320/Blogger+Image.webp" width="320" /></a></div>What are you doing to continue showing up for yourself?

Yes, we are still talking about those boundaries of protection, because they help maintain our joy and peace. Boundaries also help us get clearer in our minds in where we are going, as well as, enable us to get around the right people. Be around the people who are positive and helpful who can serve as mentors, coaches, and consultants and give us feedback in love with our best interest at heart. Be around the people who care about us and want to steer us in the right direction. We can also be that same type of person as we help encourage people, as well. Win - win - win. </span></div></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="ftgat" data-offset-key="54epm-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 14px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="54epm-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="54epm-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Continue to set those boundaries. </span></div><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="54epm-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="54epm-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/"><b><i><font color="#d52c1f">Free </font></i></b><font color="#000000">Protecting My Peace Workbook</font></a></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium; white-space: normal;"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtyMkOZBHDr24CYbyumsDksWZcFPTWpD6XnDlE8AMQeu6u_sZCGVu42e9Xakw3dUpLe0dNndoUKKVHQVrMzrYlauwMf_w0A5jlxMfcOPsNkZLfd_qmnWC6L1xGCxBegD46mrnT-D0GLoE/s320/COVER-Protecting+My+Peace+.png" style="cursor: move;" /></a></div></div>In Sharon's Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12938710902912764671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228160511400581709.post-50386339794408787122020-07-09T08:09:00.002-04:002020-07-31T08:36:24.201-04:00Protecting My Peace - Day 73 - Stay Around Positive and Productive People<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Click to listen to today's podcast episode.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="102px" scrolling="no" src="https://anchor.fm/thedailydevotional/embed/episodes/488--Protecting-My-Peace---Day-73-eggovg" width="400px"></iframe></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.thedailydevotional.org/2020/07/protecting-my-peace-day-73.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMJAcgMO-cOiYyyr4O3SgAvgyRzUcyWxpRLpYx5TBHvMUiVHIA52TQtM7V7BxBvJdpY09lUVA4lVswMo33BrKS9K9Me6PPMuU5teGWMpEEebSrDwr-tJR57vTSnbAPMZcTG7UGI6KH9oU/s320/Blogger+Image.png" width="320" /></a></div>In this sub-series on boundaries, we are still talking about protecting your peace by staying around positive and productive people. Weed out the negative and toxic, because we must be around the things that will make us grow, not die in spirit. Setting boundaries allows us to focus and prosper in what God has for our lives. We are doing nothing wrong when we set boundaries in a polite, respectful, and considerate way. We do not have to say or do anything negative or ugly in the process. Being the stronger person is about displaying the traits Jesus had and continues to bestow on us. Jesus always took the higher road and He always maintained a position of love and strength. We can be more like Jesus too as we set boundaries in our lives. Remember that. </span><div><font color="#292f36" face=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></font><div><div style="font-family: "times new roman";"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/"><b><i><font color="#d52c1f">Free </font></i></b><font color="#000000">Protecting My Peace Workbook</font></a></div><div style="font-family: "times new roman";"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtyMkOZBHDr24CYbyumsDksWZcFPTWpD6XnDlE8AMQeu6u_sZCGVu42e9Xakw3dUpLe0dNndoUKKVHQVrMzrYlauwMf_w0A5jlxMfcOPsNkZLfd_qmnWC6L1xGCxBegD46mrnT-D0GLoE/s320/COVER-Protecting+My+Peace+.png" style="cursor: move;" /></a></div></div></div>In Sharon's Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12938710902912764671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228160511400581709.post-42185511437341606912020-07-08T08:50:00.001-04:002020-07-31T08:37:28.472-04:00Protecting My Peace - Day 72 - Setting Boundaries Is Important In Your Life<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Click to listen to today's podcast episode.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="102px" scrolling="no" src="https://anchor.fm/thedailydevotional/embed/episodes/487--Protecting-My-Peace---Day-72-egfbfn" width="400px"></iframe></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.thedailydevotional.org/2020/07/protecting-my-peace-day-72.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVqOTYDbWU5URbaHEdjacs3oz83o5AwwniPAfjjCqpb4GEhFbTMq6Ys_PZTM2W2PSC36Q4UyhGwqmdaouqJeRhXRf3kCae8fXlyiNN4gyMWSI1XfJwWqmfCgBehfsXBDLbU9Cq5Ldt61k/s320/Blogger+Image.png" width="320" /></a></div>How are you doing with setting boundaries in your life? We are still on the sub-series of boundaries and the importance of setting them in your life. They must be established in order to keep out the people who do you no good. Do you there are people who will take advantage of our kindness in a minute if we let them? So we have to remain diligent and protect our peace always. When we do that, then we can build in emotionally, spiritually, and physically strong environments for our lives and the lives of others we will help. That's what happened when I finally started to know, believe, and walk in what God was telling me -- I started having boundaries. </span><div><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="8v6hu-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "times new roman";"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/"><b><i><font color="#d52c1f">Free </font></i></b><font color="#000000">Protecting My Peace Workbook</font></a></div><div style="font-family: "times new roman";"><a href="https://www.insharonsheart.com/" style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtyMkOZBHDr24CYbyumsDksWZcFPTWpD6XnDlE8AMQeu6u_sZCGVu42e9Xakw3dUpLe0dNndoUKKVHQVrMzrYlauwMf_w0A5jlxMfcOPsNkZLfd_qmnWC6L1xGCxBegD46mrnT-D0GLoE/s320/COVER-Protecting+My+Peace+.png" style="cursor: move;" /></a></div></div>In Sharon's Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12938710902912764671noreply@blogger.com0
