Its The Ninth Month: Humility

It is the Ninth month and I am pregnant with humility.  When we decide to move past “I” and move more towards serving others then we will be operating in humility. The dictionary defines humility in this way:

the state or quality of being humble; freedom from pride and arrogance; lowliness of mind; a modest estimate of one’s own worth; a sense of one’s own unworthiness through imperfection and sinfulness; self-abasement; humbleness. http://www.definitions.net/definition/humility

I can honestly say I have been stuck and struggling in my pregnant state with this word Humility. There has to be a greater lesson to learn or more for me to unfold as it relates to humility. After viewing the word humility,  I must ask myself: have I given enough? Can I move self out of the way? Can I just let it go and recognize it does not need to be fixed?  Can I humbly submit this post?

See it is the Ninth Month and I am pregnant with Humility. Are you operating in humility?

Its The Ninth Month: Gratitude

Gratitude is a state and we all need to learn to live in it! It is the Ninth Month and I am operating in a state of Gratitude.

Gratitude, is “a feeling of thankful appreciation for favors or benefits received; thankfulness.” http://www.yourdictionary.com/gratitude

When you look around at the world and all the madness that happens daily, we  can take a moment and pause to say I am grateful.
Well what things are you grateful for in this world? A Loving God, Living Life, Lessons from Family, Learning at Work, and Listening to others.

Loving God is the first step to showing gratitude. It is the love God towards us that is the wind behind our existence. Because God loves us we owe Him the ultimate in gratitude.

Living Life is what we all have opportunity to do. Living life with gratitude is a choice we all can make by being thankful for what we are given and what we give to others.

Lessons from family are the things we learn from our elders and our youth. I often share with my Sunday School students that the day you stop learning you may as well cut your head off. My grandparents and their siblings instilled so many things into my life.  Mom and Dad have given me golden nuggets of gratitude that keep me going daily.

Learning at work helps me to inspire others and encourage myself. Being grateful for knowledge make the work you do matter. Determine that you will learn something new daily.

Listening to others is so important to how we extend gratitude. To hear what and others have to say, helps us two allow others to have a say. Listening to others, shows patience and concern beyond self.

So we are here in the Ninth Month, tell me what you are grateful for in this season?

It’s The Ninth Month: Empowerment

https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;

Are you exercising your empowerment tools? It’s the Ninth month and we are operating via Empowerment.

The definition of Empowerment is 1. the giving or delegation of power or authority; authorization
2. the giving of an ability; enablement 
or permission http://www.thefreedictionary.com/empowerment

To delegate, to authorize or to give permission all sounds passive on the surface but reality is in this pregnant state these are power moves. It is often said that we lose to gain, lose to win and give up some, to get more. This is the essence of empowerment.

What are you willing to give up, give in to or just release in order to have a greater gain? Empowerment  allows you to be free to be the very best you in mind, body, and spirit. It is the Ninth Month are you working your empowerment at its highest level?

Its The Ninth Month: Determination

https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search

Are you operating by and with a sense of determination? In this the Ninth month and fifth day, is determination on your pathway? Determination is the act of coming to a decision or of 
fixing or settling a purpose. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/determination.

All day, everyday we are making decisions in our lives that are deemed minor or major in their outcomes. The crossroads that we encounter are the transition points of that require us to decide will I remain the same or do something different. Will I go left or right, up or down, in or out, stay or go, and it goes on and on.

In our state of pregnancy, in this ninth month will determination lead you to push toward your purpose? Determination is the will and following your vision is the way.

Let this season of determination take you to higher heights and may you soar and soar even more.

It’s The Ninth Month:Anticipation

We are living in a microwave society.  In life we want it hot and ready in an instant, a blinking of an eye. In our quest to have what we want, we have a bout of anticipation with unreasonable expectations. Whatever life has for is we want it right at this very moment.

I recall a popular commercial from

http://www.babynameslog.com/september-baby-names/

back in the day for ketchup. The plastic bottle was turned down and singer Carly Simon was singing  in the background, “Anticipation is making me wait”.  The person is waited anxiously for a drop of the bright red sauce to hit their sandwich and fries. This is an exercise is anticipation. Fast forward to  right now and in our haste to have what we want quickly, we squeeze the bottle and shake it to give us more.

Anticipation is excitement, waiting eagerly for something you know is going to happen. http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/anticipation. We know that something great is on the way, it is our need to be impatient that overshadows the coming attraction in our lives. Everything that is destined for us already has a scheduled arrival time. It is in the waiting time that we get prepared to unload (deliver) the new arrival in our lives.

It is the ninth month and we are awaiting our next delivery. How are you handling your time of  anticipation?
Let me know your thoughts. Please comment and share!

Hello Ninth Month

It is here!

We are nine months pregnant! Congratulations on the new addition! Are you excited about your new baby in your life? Once a year we come to this day and it brings forth change, a bundle of joy, …in mind, body, and spirit.

The arrival of September brings about the season of expectancy. September is also about transition from one season to another. We move from hazy, hot, humid days of summer, to cool, crisp, and comfortable days of autumn.
All the green leaves take on the hue of browns, orange and yellow.  The sun comes up later and night falls sooner.

What things are you expecting to act upon, or that you  envision, encounter,or evoke in your life walk?
Share what you desire, dream of and are determined to attain in this new season of life. I look forward to hearing from you as well as sharing that which makes my heart smile!
-YoTrip

Happy Labor Day 2014
