“Many people will enter your life claiming to be your friend. Choose carefully and wisely the ones you embrace wholeheartedly because everyone does not come open heartedly to you. Do not give your essence away so easily to the wolves coming in sheep’s clothing. Learn to guard your heart for it is the source of life. Balancing emotional generosity while guarding your heart comes with wisdom from God. Seek the courage, strength and discernment of the Holy Spirit each day and you will find peace in the face of adversity. When your so called friends speak negatively about you, first forgive their ignorance and recognize that they are allowing the enemy to use them as vessels of distraction and destruction; smile and say thank you Lord for revealing your truth to me and through me; then say a quick prayer for the offender. Don’t let this steal your joy or dictate your mood. Remember you are a child of The Most High KING, you are royalty and many wants to talk about royalty. Develop the mentality that you must be doing right in God’s sight if the enemy is using some in your circle to try and bring you down. Chin up, big smile and let your light shine” Ruth LewisIMG_8095 IMG_8140IMG_8107

  1. Love the look. The link to the shade, heels, and first top are linking to google. Just FYI

      1. So very true.. I find that I have friends that do this very same thing . Slowly I am releasing them from my space and it feels wonderful.. Thank you for this

  2. This outfit right here is sooooo me Tanya. I’m definitely going to recreate it.

    I totally understand having to let go of a friend. I had someone whom I was friends with since high school, but she always wanted to remind me of the “dumb” things I did as a teen. When I brought it up to her, she said she was never going to stop throwing the things from the past in my face. At that very moment I knew I had to let her go on her merry way. I need positive people around, not “friends” that suck the energy out of the room.

    Tanya, you’re such an awesome person. You don’t personally know me, but I feel like you were my friend, lol. I emailed you about a problem that I was going through, and you took time out to respond and really help me. So thank you for being a light for me 🙂

  3. Thank you for sharing such a wise and spirit filled truth. Glory to God! I literally just experienced this moments before visiting your blog. What a surprise and confirmation of his true protection and direction. God always meets our needs according to his riches in Glory. Beloved please continue to follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit because he is doing a work in you and through you.

    “Arise, shine, for your light has come,
    and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. Isaiah 60:1

  4. Absolutey love the look, you are totally making me lust after that bag.
    Your words are a blessing to us your readers, sometimes the closest to us can turn out to be quite dangerous, but faith will always see us through. Confidence and belief in our selves also help!!
