Although a misunderstanding occurred, I didn&#8217;t know how to fix it. As a matter of fact, in my own strength I couldn&#8217;t fix it. I began praying about it and got the notion to call a partner ministry to pray the prayer of agreement with me. I knew what&#8217;s mine is mine.</p><p>I share this with you because sometimes we take the circumstances of life as another bump in the road. We too often succumb to situations as if they are merely a part of living. A win some, lose some attitude. But the Lord has promised that He would supply all of our need according to His riches in glory. Most often, we use that passage when seeking a financial need. But that passage says, He will supply ALL our need. All means All. Put that in the forefront of your thinking so it can wash away the thoughts of defeat that life wants to hand you.</p><p>I kept the thought of God&#8217;s grace and the knowing that He would workout this situation for me. I went to Him in faith, and kept expecting to receive a turnaround at any minute. Within two hours I received the turnaround that I was seeking. Because I turned my dilemma over to Him, I was no longer responsible for it.</p><p><strong>How to Hold on to What&#8217;s Yours</strong></p><p>1.  Ask God for direction and His wisdom.<br
/> 2.  Shut out anxiety and panic.<br
/> 3.  Get quiet and wait for the answer.<br
/> 4.  Expect Him to answer you.<br
/> 5.  Whatever He tells you to do, do it!</p><p>Be encouraged today to receive the divine supply of His love, mercy, grace, protection, peace, joy, healing and deliverance from thoughts that life can hand you what it wants you to have. Dare to believe God for what He has promised to give you. Don&#8217;t allow circumstances and situations to defeat you, especially when there&#8217;s been a misunderstanding. Go to God today and discover what is yours.</p><p>I appreciate you taking the time to allow me to share with you. Allow this first work day of the year set the standard for what you endeavor the remaining days of 2010 to be. What&#8217;s yours is yours. Hold on to that.</p><p>Sharing my passion,</p><p>Deana</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.deanamurphy.com/whats-yours-is-yours/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Encouraged to Encourage</title><link>http://www.deanamurphy.com/encouraged-to-encourage/</link> <comments>http://www.deanamurphy.com/encouraged-to-encourage/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 25 Aug 2009 03:12:18 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Deana Murphy</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[My Passion: Designing Within]]></category> <category><![CDATA[confidence]]></category> <category><![CDATA[encourage]]></category> <category><![CDATA[friend]]></category> <category><![CDATA[future]]></category> <category><![CDATA[love]]></category> <category><![CDATA[motivate]]></category> <category><![CDATA[peers]]></category><guid

We&#8217;ve been friends since grade school and still today she floods me with her love, encouragement, and admiration though we live miles apart.</p><p>Her e-mail came last night just as I was about to turn in for the evening&#8211;tired and edgy about something that interfered with my day. Not aware what was going on with me, Dyanne&#8217;s encouraging words were the ice cream on the cake. She told me that she was proud of me! Those simple words from my friend warmed my heart and made me cry. She cried too.</p><p>I felt compelled to encourage and motivate her. Here is in part what I<br
/> shared with my best friend. I too celebrate and encourage you today:</p><p>o It is not too late to do what&#8217;s in your heart to do.<br
/> o Step out! Refuse fear!<br
/> o  Don&#8217;t allow anything or anyone hold you back!<br
/> o People will tell you that you can&#8217;t. Do it anyway.<br
/> o People will take advantage of you. Stick with it.<br
/> o People will not celebrate you. Walk in your confidence.<br
/> o Everything that you need is already within you. Know this!<br
/> o It&#8217;s okay to color outside the lines. Dare to be different.<br
/> o The world will look differently when you change within!</p><p>Not often enough do we hear these words from our peers, but we should. Dan Sullivan said this, &#8220;The size of  the future you actually experience will largely be determined by one factor:  people you choose to connect with. When you invite people who are truly committed to growth into every aspect of your life, your own potential for growth becomes truly unlimited.&#8221;</p><p>When was the last time you encouraged someone? How did it make you feel?<br
/> Let&#8217;s Talk.</p><p>Sharing my passion,<br
