There are mainly two (2) reasons for conducting a self-assessment using the Word of God as your mirror.  We covered the first reason in our last episode.  We will share with you the second reason in this episode. An assessment can help you evaluate your actions, feelings, attitude, weaknesses and strengths to be better prepared for the next step in moving forward.  The most effective and truthful self-assessment is a spiritual one that starts with the answer to this question:  Where are you in your relationship with Jesus Christ?

Step 2- Self-AssessmentIn chapter 4 of the book, "The Path to Promise: How to Move Forward After Brokenness", this episode discusses the second step in preparing to move forward: self-assessment. This may be the hardest step to take, but it can determine the sincerity of your decision to move forward on the path to promise trusting God to get you to the place where your full potential is realized. A self-assessment requires asking the "tough" questions about you.  Note:  It is NOT about others' opinion of you!   It's about looking into the mirror and being honest about what you see.  Yes, it may be painful at first, but God can be trusted to make all things better, heal, restore and change your perception of what you see into His image. Self-assessment done through the eyes of faith and seeing yourself in the image and likeness of God will change your perception and perspective. A self-assessment based on God's truth and unconditional love for you is a MAJOR step to your recovery and restoration For more information about the book and author, visit these sites: http://www.queenephillips.com http://www.onthepathtopromise.net http://www.amazon.com/dp/1491074035 00:31:00Queen Phillipsnopath to promise,moving forward,perception,self-assessmentIn chapter 4 of the book, "The Path to Promise: How to Move Forward After Brokenness", this episode discusses the second step in preparing to move forward: selfEpisode 8: Tips for Setting Spiritual Goals in 2014http://www.blogtalkradio.com/writingwithpurpose/2014/01/03/episode-8-tips-for-setting-spiritual-goals-in-2014Lifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/writingwithpurpose/2014/01/03/episode-8-tips-for-setting-spiritual-goals-in-2014/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/writingwithpurpose/2014/01/03/episode-8-tips-for-setting-spiritual-goals-in-2014Fri, 03 Jan 2014 22:00:00 GMTEpisode 8: Tips for Setting Spiritual Goals in 2014This special episode is designed to give 10 tips and recommendations to set "spiritual" goals. When it comes to goals, setting career and financial goals are most commonly known. However, setting spiritual goals is very critical to the Christian’s faith walk.  The New Year is the best time to refocus and make plans to move forward to pursue God and reach your fullest potential in regards to spiritual growth and development of your relationship with Jesus Christ. What are spiritual goals?  Spiritual goals are the godly aspirations and objectives that you desire and want to manifest in your life, i.e., your spiritual growth or relationship with Jesus Christ.  For example, a spiritual goal could be to develop a more consistent prayer life or increase your bible study time to be better prepared to lead a bible study group.  There is a major difference between setting spiritual goals and other goals in life. For Christians, the most important aspect of life should be our spiritual life, which influences every aspect of life.  The goals you set is an indication of your priorities.

ARE YOU THE JUST? If YOU are the just who shall live by your faith, then you must take a leap of faith by making the decision to :"MOVE FORWARD" in faith.  Moving forward in faith requires an attitude adjustment that should align with God's Word concerning you and His promises. The greatest deterrent to our moving forward is our mindset (attitude) that is usually dictated by our thoughts and the negativity of our past experiences and even our present environment. The right attitude determines the soundness of your decision to move forward after your brokenness.  Your thoughts should be redirected toward the positive instead of the negative. This episode will discuss the clues to help you recognize the onset of negative thinking when you have been disappointed and betrayed by someone you trusted with your heart.

You've made the decision to move forward, now what?  In this episode author Queen E. Phillips will share more details and insight about how to carry out your decision to move forward day by day. One action that's often overlooked and underestimated is goal setting and writing your goals, visions and dreams down on paper to refer back to when doubt and negative thoughts and emotions raise their ugly heads, or when it appears nothing is changing for the better. Powerful Living is God's desire for us; however, many are living defeated lives because they can't move forward after their painful past and depressing present.  Consequently, they can not even imagine a promising future.  This series, "MOVING FORWARD" is based on the book, The Path to Promise: How to Move Forward after Brokenness.  For more information, visit www.onthepathtopromise.net 00:31:00Queen Phillipsnorelationships,pain,life,book,promisePreparation is a process.

Are you living in denial? Are you ready to move forward by facing the truth about whatever has kept you living with regrets and the pains of your past? We all handle our realties differently. Sometimes the truth is so hard to face, there is the tendency to live in denial.  However, if you are ready to move forward after your brokenness and painful past, facing the truth is a must. In the book, The Path to Promise: How to Move Forward After Brokenness, there is a story (based on truth) about one young woman who had to face her reality. Although it was painful, she was able to face the truth and move forward. Marsha did her best to make Nathan love her. After all, the storybook wedding was the epitome of a life-long relationship that screamed, “Until death due us part!”  Three years later she had to face the truth: Nathan didn’t love himself and really didn’t know how to love her. Sadly, he didn’t know how to cry out for help.  From the brief year of marital bliss and perfection to a lonely night crying herself to sleep, she awakened to a new beginning as she faced the truth about her situation, the man she’d fell in love with, and the God she had heard so much about as a child. The one thing about facing the truth is the realization that something has to change—your situation or your mindset about your situation.  Realizing that as painful as change may be, it cannot be any more painful than the brokenness caused by betrayal and rejection of the one person you trusted with your life. The turning point for Marsha was realizing that she needed hope in something and someone greater than the love she had for Nathan. That love was fading faster than an ice cream cone on a hot 90 degrees day in Texas.  00:30:00Queen Phillipsnofacing the truth,reality,relationship,brokenhearted,painsHow are you dealing with the truth about yourself, your situation, your broken relationships?
