What is your agenda?

Posted by Famira M. Green on May 8, 2008 at 5:03pm

Agendas; in today’s time it seems as though everyone has one. They can be positive or negative. What’s your agenda in life? To be popular, successful, rich, or even to help people are all examples of agendas that people have throughout their lives. Sometimes your agenda can change as you get older. Today your agenda could be the popular girl in school, later in life you will realize that is not so important. Then it can change to something with deeper meaning. Even Jesus had an agenda in his time here on Earth and that was to bring us into a relationship with God the Father. You must ask yourself what is your agenda?To continue reading this post please go to the following link: http://iambeingled.blogspot.com

The Tenacity of a Single Mother

Posted by DevyneCreations on May 7, 2008 at 4:13am

This article touched my heart and I wanted to share it with all Single Mothers out there holding on and keeping the faith. "God will never give us more than we can handle"Have a wonderful Mother's DayTuesday, May 06, 2008The Tenacity of a Single MotherEvelyn WatkinsOne of my favorite stories in the Bible is of the widow in II Kings 4:1-7. It tells of a woman who is faced with a very common challenge of single mothers today. The father of her children, her husband, has died, left her financially bankrupt and jeopardized the future of her children.It really doesn't matter if you conceived your children out of wedlock, a marriage which ended in divorce, or like this woman, your husband has died. Ultimately, when the relationship ends, it can feel like you are experiencing a death. While in the midst of grieving her loss, experiencing her hurt and deep disappointment, she now must contend with the reality of being solely responsible for her home, her children and their financial future. Many single moms are disillusioned in this process. Oftentimes going through the motions of survival all awhile wondering how she ended in this place.This widow woman immediately reminds Elisha of her husband's relationship with God. She recognized she had a right to be sustained by the Lord because her husband "did fear the Lord". How right she was. Because of your covenant relationship with God, you have a right to be sustained by the Lord. Perhaps, like this woman, the creditors are seeking you out; attempting to compromise the financial stability of your children's future. Your child's father may no longer be in your home contributing to your provision, maybe withholds child support or perhaps he died with no life insurance, Jehovah-jireh, your provider, is YOUR insurance. Like never before, you have to trust God to do what you cannot and know that he is a good provider.God's answer to changing her situation began with a plan spoken through Elisha. I believe it is applicable to all of us.1. He begins by asking her what is in her house; or what does she already possess. God will plan your future with what you already have now. Not a man, or the lottery, but something you possess in your house (or your temple) right now. Begin by writing down your God given talents, gifts or skills.2. He sent her out to borrow vessels. I imagine she was probably ashamed. Having to ask for help would require her to be venerable. Perhaps her neighbors would gossip after her request, or pretend they didn't hear her knocking at the door. She had to look her fear in the face, swallow her pride and do this in spite of her embarrassment because her children depended on her to succeed. You too, may have discovered that there are things you've had to do which required you to swallow your pride, face your fears and maybe even suffer embarrassment.3. He then instructs her to come into the house and shut the door behind herself and her sons. I find this text so interesting. Elisha does not want the neighbors to see what God is about to do. God may share something with us and we want to tell everyone. But here, God instructs the woman to protect this process. Everyone cannot handle your journey. Everyone does not see what you see. They may unknowingly attempt to talk you out of your faith, discourage you, make you feel inadequate or like you're crazy. You must protect God's plan for your life by knowing when to speak and when to be silent.4. He gave her instructions concerning pouring the oil in the vessels. She included her sons in this process. It is so important as you are fulfilling God's plan of action that your children not only see your obedience but also are a participant. In doing this, they gain a sense of success as contributors to God's plan.5. Elisha told the woman to sell the oil, pay her debt and live off of the rest. God's desire is not to meet the need of our emergency, but make provision for our future. It requires faithfulness. Single moms, like none other, must perfect their faithfulness in financial stewardship. What if this woman in her excitement, paid off her debt and squandered the rest? She certainly would not have been able to abide in rest for the length of her days as Elisha instructed. Rather, she would have been forced to work by the sweat of her brow for the remainder of her days.Single moms have a multitude of unique challenges before them. Pity parties sometime seem enticing to simply have an opportunity to talk about the difficulties of this journey. But seek the party, which the Bridegroom has prepared for you. Prepare your life to sit at His banquet table. You and your children can live the abundant life the scriptures promise. It's not too late. Begin by examining the very special gifts God has placed in you. It is what you possess right now that will bring greater fulfillment to you and your children for years to come.Evelyn D.

Posted by Latrice Fowler on May 6, 2008 at 9:36pm

Hello Ladies! I've been in the kitchen lately trying to get ready to retest some of my recipes for my cookbook coming out soon and wanted to share a little quick recipe I came up with last Saturday. This particular recipe will not be in my up and coming cookbook "Raising Chefs", it was a "just because I was hungry" recipe that I came up with and wanted to share with this community. Let me know if you try it and what you're honest opinions are. I also will start posting recipes that will be in the book in the weeks to come as I retest them and get them ready to be photographer and I need some quality feedback from the BBWO Community. So if you would be so kind and help me out in this matter it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!!!

Hotel New York is Not in New York

Posted by Evette on May 6, 2008 at 6:32pm

The Hotel New York is a modern hotel and café-restaurant situated in one of the most attractive spots in Rotterdam. On the outside, the former head office of the Holland-Amerika Line has a cosmopolitan feel: it's facade is symmetrical in design, with balconies, dormer windows, towers and decorations; most grand hotels built around 1880 adhered to that style. In addition, the building is magnificently situated, with views of the city's skyline, the harbour and the river. At night you can experience the peace and tranquillity of a hotel on the water. From the building's many vantage points, you can watch the often spectacular sunsets, while the windows afford views of the clouds and city lights.Hotel New York has 72 rooms, including two tower rooms and a penthouse which is for rent for longer periods of time. The rooms are fitted with en suite bathroom and toilet, shower and/or bath, telephone and television. They are spacious, with high ceilings, and most offer a view of the river. The hotel is located a short distance from trams, subway, bus or just walk into city center where you'll find shopping, culture and a visitor's center for friendly help.

Learn Spanish in Mexico and Immerse Yourself in the Culture at the Same Time!

Posted by Evette on May 6, 2008 at 6:18pm

Build your confidence!Attending a course in Mexico is a great way to learn Spanish, improve your existing skills, or master your advanced level.The Spanish Institute: Learn Spanish in Merida or in PueblaHighly regarded Spanish Language School that has received many awards including the "2006-2007 Excelsis Award" for excellence in education. Our students learn from the outset to think and express themselves in Spanish as they take classes and live in Mexico. Two locations to choose from.Learn Spanish in Merida or PueblaThere's no better way of learning than to be among the people who share the same goals as you, while at the same time, you are helping each other to progress and improve your understanding and, importantly with a foreign language - build your confidence - in speaking Spanish with others around you.Whether you're an absolute beginner, someone who wants to build on existing knowledge at an intermediate level or looking to master the language, you'll find a course somewhere to suit your needs.If you have the time and resources available to you and you want to get immersed in learning Spanish, there is no better - and faster - way of learning good Spanish than by attending a residential language course in Mexico.If you plan to visit Mexico frequently, for business or perhaps as part of a retirement plan, then taking a Spanish course in Mexico could be one of the best investments you make in your personal-development. Besides learning a foreign language faster and more effectively than you could do at home, you'll have lots of fun, meets interesting people, and enjoy the privilege of mixing learning with pleasure on your visit to Mexico.Take the time you needYou can take part in a residential course for as long as you like. Generally soeaking, people stay for between one week and six months depending on their goals, lifestyle and budget.IMAC Spanish Language Programs: Guadalajara, MexicoOver 35 years of experience. Spanish courses in Mexico, Costa Rica, Argentina, Ecuador, Chile and Spain. Visit our web site to find a price list, maps, course activities and much more. Practice your Spanish with native speaker students.Spanish Language Programs, GuadalajaraSpanish language centers charge a course fee, and arrange for accommodation to be provided in someone's home, with a local family. This is particularly important, as living with Mexican family helps you to become immersed in the culture and forces you use the language skills you are acquiring on the course. It also speeds up the pace at which you learn and makes the experience more enjoyable and authentic.Language schools usually quote the price of the course and accommodation in the total price. The families they work with are carefully chosen and are often families that are used to having student lodgers.If you prefer to make your own arrangements for accommodation, for example, if you prefer to stay at a local hotel or rent your own apartment (for longer stays) then the lodging element of the package is discounted and you only pay for the language course.Class Sizes and FeesClass sizes are small (usually 5 or 6 people max), and teaching lasts about 5 hours a day. This is an ideal situation for accelerated learning as the small class sizes enable you to get a good level of personal attention while still benefting from group learning, and social interaction.Encuentros Spanish Language Study in Beautiful CuernavacaFun, functional courses for professionals, travelers and students. Includes workshops that encompass visits in town to apply your knowledge and raise your your learning experience. Highly personalized classes of four students (max) per teacher. New classes begin every week! Visit our web site for full course descriptions.Encuentros Spanish Language SchoolIn addition to the classroom work, many courses also incorporate practical workshops into their curriculum. For example, they may take students on a shopping expedition in the town's local market so that they may practice what they have been learning in the classroom in a real-life situation.Fees for spanish classes in Mexico vary depending on the school, the location, the length of the course and the services offered. As a rule of thrumb, you should expect to pay around US$300 a week for classes (5 days); a fee which will include up to 7 days of accommodation and 3 meals a day.Using a vacation to Learn Spanish in Mexico is not just a great learning experience, it's a lot of fun and does not have to break your budget.You may consider using part of your vacation time in Mexico to learn spanish and, for example, spend the other part of your vacation relaxing or touring other parts of Mexico or the region near to where you have been studying.Also See: Guide to Travel Experiences in MexicoGet immersed and learn quickly!The great thing about residential language courses, is that they take place in local surroundings, so everywhere you go you'll be surrounded by the language.If you stay with a local family, you'll be encouraged to speak more Spanish even outside of class and your confidence will build very quickly indeed! When you're walking in the street, you'll see adverts and signs in Spanish, the people around you will be talking Spanish, the radio you listen to and the television you watch - will also be in Spanish, and all this helps your learning.There is no better way to learn a foreign language than to be surrounded by it!

The book shows how a woman uses therapy, yoga, meditation, art, music, poetry, and support from family and friends to confront the effects of her poor life choices and embrace a spiritual journey of healing and love. The book was published by iUniverse, Inc. and is available through Amazon.com, Barnesandnobles.com, Borders.com, Target.com, and Bookamillion.com.The novel was written to encourage self-discovery and healing, celebrate poetry and jazz, cultivate financial literacy, illustrate the diversity of loving relationships (straight, lesbian, and gay), emphasize the importance of yoga and meditation practice, and develop HIV/AIDS awareness. It was also written to celebrate Black history, art, culture, and music; Washington, DC neighborhoods such as U Street, Shaw, Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle; and the cultural connections that African Americans share with Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, and Latin America.Contact Information:Ananda Kiamsha Madelyn LeekeKiamsha.com, LLCkiamshaleeke@yahoo.comhttp://baplivingforbapsandebw.ning.comwww.talkshoe.com/tc/18598www.lovestroubadours.comwww.youtube.com/kiamshaleeke

Don't Miss This Great Opportunity!

Posted by Erica Goodridge on May 6, 2008 at 4:30am

Hello Everyone,I would like to introduce you to Mentors Club. I have after one month of being a part of this club been able to learn and speak with millionaires who are where I am working to be.Don't miss this awesome opportunity to learn and grow. You will get the chance to be mentored personally by great people like Dr. Stan Harris, Ms. Katrina Ferguson - Author of "Celebrate the Power in Your Right to Choose" also founder of The Total Woman and many others.One of the most phenomenal young men I've met is Mr. Stephen Pierce. This young man turned obstacles into opportunities. He dropped out of high school and was homeless, living on the streets. He had gotten shot and the hospital wouldn't remove the bullet because he didn't have insurance. He left the bullet in even after becoming a millionaire because he says he never wants to forget where he came from. This young man borrowed someone else’s computer and begins to make it work for him. 7 years later he is a multi-millionaire. Being a part of Mentors Club allowed me to talk with him and learn from him.This is an awesome opportunity for you to meet great mentors who don't mind sharing their knowledge. The only thing they tell you is to implement what you learn because if you don't it's a waste of your time. There are 2 ways of being a part of Mentors Club. You can have access to training calls with these millionaires every week and also the wealth of knowledge that is available on the site for $29 a month.Option 2 is the Ultimate Subscriber which I am. Why? I am able to earn more money because I have the reselling rights to several e-books and audio recordings but best of all I keep ALL OF THE PROFIT!!!!!!
