Welcome to "the winning image"

“If you can IMAGINE it, you can CREATE it. If you can DREAM it, you can BECOME it.” William Arthur Ward

Congratulations! You have decided to embrace the THOUGHT that you can be and do whatever you IMAGINE. Embarking upon this quest demonstrates your desire and determination to be transformed, first and foremost, by renewing your mind.

A Successful Life is always under construction. But, we are houses not built by Man, and the blueprint of our destiny has all the building materials needed within to erect the winning image……the IMAGE and LIKENESS of God. And although As HE is So are We, when we combine our distorted IMAGE with our erroneous THOUGHTS, our performance in life appears mediocre and unsuccessful. But if we,

You may see yourself as average or even below average. You may think that your windows of opportunities to achieve greatness have closed and your timeline to become successful in whatever you desire has passed you by. What you SEE will cause you to SAY Words that will eventually Frame Your World. But TODAY, look within and SEE the wellspring of success, wealth and prosperity, deeply embedded with unlimited possibilities waiting for you to simply SEE, BELIEVE and SAY, “There is no Failure in God and therefore there is no failure in me”. MY Success is NOT Negotiable! What about yours? “Men are born to SUCCEED, not to fail” Henry David Thorough

I Look To You - Written by R.Kelly /Song By Whitney Houston

Lyrics:As I lay me down,heaven hear me now.I'm lost without a cause,after giving it my all. Winter storms have come and darkened my sun. After all that I've been through. Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to you.I look to you. After all my strength is gone,in you I can be strong. I look to you.I look to you. And when melodies are gone,in you I hear a song.I look to you.

About to lose my breathe,there's no more fighting left. Sinking to rise no more,searching for that open door. And every road that I've taken, lead to my regret. And I don't know if I'm going to make it. Nothing to do but lift my head.

I look to you.I look to you. After all my strength is gone,in you I can be strong. I look to you.I look to you. And when melodies are gone,in you I hear a song.I look to you.

My levees are broken. My walls have cometumbling down on me. The rain is falling. Defeat is calling. I need you to set me free.Take me far away from the battle.I need you. Shine on me.

I look to you.I look to you. After all my strength is gone,in you I can be strong. I look to you.I look to you.A nd when melodies are gone,in you I hear a song. I look to you!

The Winning Inspiration!

I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence comes my help. My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore. (My Help... All of My Help Cometh From The Lord!) Psalms 121

I Look To You!

Hello BLOG! Its been a while! Because of technical difficulties on the web and in life... I almost lost you and I almost lost myself. You were out there somewhere in cyberspace and yet unreachable. And here I was around those I loved and who loved me, and yet unreachable. For the last four months our paths have been syncopated. Your status has mirrored my status... dormant. For months I had nothing to say, therefore you had nothing to say. But today, I hear a still small voice awakened. And though it is still faint, it desires to speak... although weak. So while searching for answers and reaching out to those and that which I put on hold, low and behold I found you in a hidden place. Little did you know, I too was hidden in a secret place. And after calling a technician to find out how to make you operational again; he said "Rhonda you simply must go into "tools" and clear out all of the cache's and cookies.

A "cache" is a place that stores up and compresses hidden things or compresses what should be private information. And a 'cookie' in its simplest form can carry viruses and are accepted by default. You can open up your computer for one purpose and an undetected "cookie" can creep in the back door, and gathering information that can eventually hurt, harm, overload or cause your system to become inoperable. Together their combination can be dangerous to your computer and your website. WOW! When you think about it spiritually, there are cookies and caches that can also be dangerous and lethal to your life.

I became inoperable and ineffective when the caches of my life, the hidden sin, the oppressed thoughts, the inner hurts and pain that were compressed began to leak its poison into my system. Then the cookies or the gathered information began to be shared with others, who were uninvited and came in undetected. My private information began to translate into opinions filled with words of criticism, judgmentalism, and negative opinions...., those same private thoughts , concerns, situations and detrimental circumstances shared began to poison and plague my mind with words of despair, thoughts of failure, fatigue and even finality. I became so oppressed and depressed, that one day my system shut-down and I was no longer functioning in the manner God created me to. Weighed down by all of the information and revelation, I was forced to reevaluate why it was easier to hide in a secret place within myself than to believe that I was more than a conqueror, because of the Greater one who lives within me. My soul was dominated by caches and cookies. But His Spirit in my spirit was longing to FREE me!

So today, as I went into my 'tool box'- The Bible, I began to delete those hidden things of dishonesty and replace them with TRUTH, and began to declare what the Word of God says about me. I AM who it says I AM. I AM created in His IMAGE and HIS Likeness. I possess the Winning Image - internally and externally. And old friend.... as I begin to express the image of the invincible God in words, thoughts and deeds... once again... "I Look to YOU"!
