Current Projects: I QUIT SMOKING!!

I just wanted to update on a few projects I'm currently working on and to say that I FINALLY QUIT SMOKING CIGARETTES!! I used crocheting and quit smoking tea to help me quit. I made a scarf. I love it. It has a special meaning to me because it was my replacement therapy. I've been officially smoke free for about 3 weeks now, almost 4. It was such a cute scarf and so much fun to make that I decided to start another one. A chunky brown one. I love creating and seeing a project come to fruition. Another project I started this year was reading my bible again. I started back in April. I haven't read the whole thing since I was a teenager so I thought it was time I reread it. It's been challenging yet very interesting and fun. I've finished the whole first page so far. Ive also coupled it with regular prayer and research for understanding. I believe that quitting smoking and doing my bible reading is going to kick start a lot of good things coming to me and the kids. I belive that cleaning out and stopping putting toxins in my body will help with the out put results with my life. Add to it bible reading and listing to god audio to give my subconscious mind something good to feed me. I'm feeling good. I finally found some fun things to do cause for a while there I was so BORED with life.

Current Products and my braids

I'm sure I want individual braids to be my signature go to style. It's really cute, it lasts and my hair is protected. Keeping these in for the next week until it's time to get my micros again. I'm actually glad I waited until the end of October to get them done so I can start a fresh month off with them and they can last me through to January

Double Butter Body Butter: Fall/ Winter Skin Care

I'm so excited. I  melted shea, and coco butters together, Mixed it up with some good Black castor oil and organic olive oil. I have a whole fall/ winter time skin/ hair care routine that I LOVE! I don't too much put butters in my hair cause it's a bit difficult to manipulate unless i can get it REALLY soft with the oils. But usually I just use butters for my skin care routine. I added moisturizing masks and real whitch hazel to the skin care routine. I love the results of my two differernt butters on my skin. . My skin is soft and buttery feeling because of it. I did a deep conditioning treatment in my hair this past weekend too. I've been focusing on doing things like treatments and masks on my skin and hair to moisturize it from inside out . Making sure my hair and skin are really clean and moisturized are what's important to me. Mainly with my hair, I just braid it/ twist it up and leave it alone. I enjoy individual braids and twists because they make it easier to moisturize my hair but it's still done and in a protective style.

Metaphysical Bible Dictionary: 1 Samuel

Samuel, sam'-u-el (Heb.)--name of God; sublimity of God; heard of God; instructed of God; God hath heard. A prophet and judge of Israel, the last one before Israel began to have kings to rule over it (I Sam. 1:20 to 10:25). Metaphysical. Spiritual discernment; that in man which has conscious contact with God and learns of God (God hath heard, instructed of God). The boy Samuel represents the inner voice, through whose expression we come into a larger realization of ourselves. Samuel also signifies judgment. He judged Israel forty years; he was brought forth in direct answer to prayer and his mother dedicated him to the Lord even before he was born in the flesh. At two years of age "the child Samuel ministered unto Jehovah before Eli," for it was recognized that he was to serve in the Temple, that he would unfold and become great in spiritual understanding. By listening to the voice of divine wisdom we bring forth the Son of God in our soul. Samuel represents both judgment and the inner voice; he is the wisdom and the judgment that come often as a still, small voice at the heart center. It is deep within the stillness of the silence that our ears first become attuned to the rhythmic motions of Spirit, and that we are first enabled to catch the sound of the inner voice. Man makes connection with Jehovah by building up a consciousness of divine ideas. This is accomplished through thought, prayer, meditation, and realization. Receptivity to Spirit and obedience, fearlessness, and candor are essentials to the inviting of communion with the inner voice. Hannah, mother of Samuel, earnestly petitioned God for a son. She made regular trips to the Temple, where she made known her desire; she listened attentively for the inner leadings, which showed her just what to do that she might comply with the law and have her prayers answered. This earnest seeking led her deep into the things of Spirit; therefore when her prayers were fulfilled the child that she bore possessed the faculty of spiritual hearing. Samuel was first conceived in Spirit, and by the sure law of Spirit the outer manifestation came into visibility. Samuel was so quickened that he heard the word of Spirit. As you sit in the silence you no doubt often get the inner word through the still, small voice, yet you do not hear it; you do not feel it --you simply know it. When Samuel first heard it he went to Eli, the high priest, and said: "Here am I; for thou calledst me." A similar experience may come often to you. You hear, yet you do not understand; but as you go on in unfoldment you finally come to the place where you say, "This is Spirit talking to me." When you have once made union with Spirit you will understand and will get the messages, just as Samuel did. I Samuel 7:2-12: The Spirit of God in man knows no defeat. Though it be kept for a time in bondage to man's material ideas, it sooner or later resumes its search for deliverance and free expression. Samuel, the inner spiritual perception that has the capacity for receiving spiritual inspiration, brings to the outer consciousness that which is necessary for this deliverance. Samuel here tells the Children of Israel of the three great steps in spiritual progress. These are as applicable to man today as they were to the Children of Israel. First, if man is to serve the one true God he will put away all false gods. With a single standard in one's life there is a centralizing force at work, and wherever this centralizing influence becomes active, organization results. Thus all the scattered forces of man's being are brought together and are made capable of undertaking effectually the tasks of life. The second step that Samuel took was to have the Children of Israel assemble at Mizpah (watchtower). In order to maintain his unity with God and to keep his forces organized in singleness of thought and purpose, man must keep his attention steadily fixed in the direction of that to which he aspires. Samuel is here only carrying out that Scriptural injunction, "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth." By looking away from the besetting forces of materiality and maintaining the high watch, one is enabled to discern the action of God, in meeting the various situations of life. The third step for man in his spiritual progress is to conform his action to the action of God; when he has done that, the opposition of material forces becomes as nothing. The matter of importance is always to maintain one's perfect relationship with the movement of Principle, regardless of what may arise. Victory is inevitable when this unity with God is maintained; no adverse condition in the life of man can prevail against him, because there never has been and never can be any effective opposition to God. Victory is truly won the moment one establishes one's unity with God, because the adversity that appears is not in God, and when the situation is seen in God its aspects are entirely changed. When adversity appears the sure cure is to "cease not to cry unto Jehovah our God." When man has succeeded in any overcoming after this manner of procedure, he reaches Beth-car (house of the lamb), that place where he consciously abides in the overcoming power of Spirit. This is a genuine milestone in the spiritual progress of man, and he has conquered all the ground that his consciousness grasps of that which is real in man and in the universe. I Samuel 7:16, 17: In the high places in consciousness (represented by Beth-el, Gilgal, Mizpah, and Ramah, the places where Samuel went from year to year to judge Israel), spiritual judgment in us discerns the Truth and adjusts our life. I Samuel 8: Samuel symbolizes that in man which keeps him in touch with the Source of wisdom. He stands for man's own higher judgment, and is active in consciousness so long as man depends on that judgment and trusts Spirit to direct him and to fight his battles. The Children of Israel were not willing to be guided by their own higher judgment (Samuel, the wise judge) because they lacked understanding and were mentally and spiritually lazy. When man meekly goes with the crowd, uniting with some popular religious movement and trusting the authority of man-made creeds and doctrines for his salvation, he retires the wise judge Samuel. The king of man's consciousness is the will. When the will is given supreme control and the judgment ignored, the mind and the body are under autocratic rule.
