<strong>Thump-Thud, Thump-Thud</strong><br />
When a potter bakes a pot, he checks its solidity by pulling it out of the oven and thumping it. If it “sings,” it’s ready. If it “thuds,” it’s placed back in the oven.<br />
The character of a person is also checked by thumping. Been thumped lately?<br />
Late-night phone calls. Grouchy teacher. Grumpy moms. Burnt meals. Flat tires. You’ve-got-to-be-kidding deadlines. Those are thumps. Thumps are those irritating inconveniences that trigger the worst in us. They catch us off guard. Flat-footed. They aren’t big enough to be crises, but if you get enough of them, watch out! Traffic jams. Long lines. Empty mailboxes. Dirty clothes on the floor. Even as I write this, I’m being thumped. Because of interruptions, it has taken me almost two hours to write these two paragraphs. <em>Thump. Thump. Thump.</em><br />
How do I respond? Do I sing? Or do I thud?<br />
Jesus said that out of the nature of the heart a man speaks (Luke 6:45). There’s nothing like a good thump to reveal the nature of a heart. The true character of a person is seen not in momentary heroics but in the thump-packed humdrum of day-to-day living.<br />
If you have a tendency to thud more than you sing, take heart.<br />
The true character of a person is seen not in momentary heroics but in the thump-packed humdrum of day-to day living.<br />
There is hope for us “thudders”:<br />
1. Begin by thanking God for thumps. I don’t mean a half-hearted thank-you. I mean a rejoicing, jumping-for-joy thank-you from the bottom of your heart (James 1:2). Chances are that God is doing the thumping. And he’s doing it for your own good. So every thump is a reminder that God is molding you (Heb. 12:5–8).<br />
2. Learn from each thump. Face up to the fact that you are not “thump-proof.” You are going to be tested from now on. You might as well learn from the thumps—you can’t avoid them. Look upon each inconvenience as an opportunity to develop patience and persistence. Each thump will help you or hurt you, depending on how you use it.<br />
3. Be aware of “thump-slump” times. Know your pressure periods. For me Mondays are infamous for causing thump-slumps. Fridays can be just as bad. For all of us, there are times during the week when we can anticipate an unusual amount of thumping. The best way to handle thump-slump times? Head on. Bolster yourself with extra prayer, and don’t give up.<span class="style7"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.0pt;"><a href="http://www.crosswalkmail.com/nkfryjqprwrnqkpznthmcngcqjnkfhhkwdqcyyzywdrfrtk_kvpvhmrssvsf.html"></a></span></span><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype

Seems we both got off the track with our business move-point is that we have sort of been coasting-that’s good as we have not gone up or down-staying within striking distance so to speak. We have both set new goals – Margaret is looking to drop 10lbs in the next 30 days and I have realigned my goal to 184. We have to have something to reach for as this is a journey and not a destination. When we reach where we think we are going we find that there is another horizon to view. Those of you that are on the journey with us remember to check in daily with your rvl web site and keep up with your goals. The real beauty of the RVL system is knowing that your body is getting all the nutrition that it needs to keep your health at the top. Remember that we are 75% or more made of water-be sure to get 64oz a day-it does make a difference.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 20.0pt;">If you are one in the family that is looking for an added $500 to a $1000 a month give me a call and let us work together to build a solid business for you and your family. Did you know that this amount of money would prevent 75% of all the bankruptcies in America today? Do you know someone you would like to help, has someone indicated they need to boost their income-you have the tool in your hands to help them. Let’s go do it together, 803-468-6482, we do want to help.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

We had a fantastic learning experience last night and I have posted the notes that our Lovely Sherry Braswell made and forwarded.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">WOW!!! What an <i>INCREDIBLE </i>night! Words cannot express the energy that filled that room last night! It was absolutely <i>electrifying!</i> The words that were spoken last night pierced my soul like an arrow. As I was sitting there listening to the nuggets of wisdom from our executive team it was like it was my very first meeting…as if I were hearing these words for the very first time. I want to share with you this am what I took from this very important night.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Annette Stover, <i>our Diamond from Wilmington,</i> opened the meeting with <b>RVL weight loss results.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">I was amazed by the story of Paul. His initial weight was 544 lbs. The 1<sup>st</sup> week he lost 0 lbs, the 2<sup>nd</sup> week he lost 23 <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">lbs and since our last meeting on April 12<sup>th</sup> he has lost <b><span style="color: #ff6600;">121 lbs!</span></b> Everyone stood up and excitedly applauded <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">and his face just beamed. It was wonderful to see this young man’s light up with pride as he told his heartfelt story. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">THIS is what it is all about, I thought…<i>Changing people’s lives!</i><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Annette explained <i>The Cash Flow Quadrant<span style="color: navy;">, </span></i>out<span style="color: navy;"> </span>of Robert Kiyosaki’s<span style="color: navy;"> </span>best selling book <u>Business </u><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.5in;"><u><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">of the 21<sup>st</sup> Century<span style="color: navy;">.</span></span></u><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;"> This book has completely changed her life and the way she thinks. <i>“What you’ve seen</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.5in;"><i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">your whole life is what you think is reality, what you believe is real.”</span></i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;"> A job will make you a living, but never a fortune.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Get this book…it will OPEN your eyes to a whole new world!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-indent: -.5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Scott Olsen, the very 1<sup>st</sup> distributor in MonaVie, then spoke. He was beyond AMAZING! He has been in the network marketing industry for over 32 years! He talked about having a <b>belief system.</b> <i>Do you believe in yourself?,</i> he asked.<span style="color: navy;"> </span><i>“Do you believe in the possibilities of what can happen in your life?”</i> One of the greatest powers we possess is the power to <b><i>choose.</i></b> Obstacles and adversities come into all of our lives. HOW we choose to deal with them determines WHERE we turn up. <i>“MonaVie is the single greatest story and opportunity this world has ever seen”.</i> There are only 13 companies in 127 years that have EVER achieved 1 billion dollars…and MonaVie is the ONLY ONE that has EVER done it in 4 years! We have created over 104 millionaires & paid out over 1 billion dollars in commissions! This company is giving YOU the opportunity to leave a legacy. This company is far bigger than its founders…it will long outlive them. <i>And you’re NEVER to old to start,</i> he said. Jimmy Smith was 75 years old when he got into network marketing for the first time. He is now a multimillionaire leaving a legacy for his great grandchildren. Clara got involved when she was 55 years old. She is now 85 yrs old and & made millions leaving money for future generations. MonaVie is no longer a startup…<i>we are a worldwide global phenomenon!</i> <b><i>Did you</i></b> <b><i>know that we will soon be opening in Russia, China & India?</i></b> We are currently in 18 countries and have accomplished that in 6 short years! We have 3 new products coming out that we’ll be announcing in June at our Imagine Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. (hint: <i>Skin <span style="color: navy;">C</span>are</i> might be one of them. Acai has amazing benefits for the protection & care of the skin). <span style="color: navy;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Scott says that we spend so much time making a living that we don’t spend<span style="color: navy;"> </span>any time learning how to build a fortune. Most of us were never taught that it was even possible. We were taught to live in a box with restrictions and limitations because that is how our parents lived and were taught by their parents. This business teaches you a new way to think. It exposes you to people that have found their greatness and are willing to help you find yours. You are exposed to people that are living their dreams and will inspire & help YOU<span style="color: navy;"> </span>to live yours. Don’t worry about what others say or believe<span style="color: navy;">. </span>People are negative because of their own self doubts and fears. Your confidence scares them and challenges them to look at themselves. Everything that has occurred in your life, good & bad, has prepared YOU for this moment...for this email I am sending you right now. <b><i>What will you choose to do with it?</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">All of our lives are intertwined. You are here because someone touched you. And there is someone out there waiting for YOU to touch them. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Henry Marsh was the last to speak. Henry is our co-founder and our Vice-Chairman. His background is riddled with experience, setbacks & success. Henry begins by saying some very profound words we all need to meditate on<b><i>…”You will never succeed in life until you’ve failed.”</i></b> You must have a setback to find your GREATNESS. Most people won’t ever find it because they haven’t had enough setbacks. They want to play it “safe” and just be comfortable. Being comfortable is a dangerous place to be because it breeds mediocrity. The people who do the greatest things in life are the ones faced with the greatest adversity. Look at Greg Barton, the Olympic kayaker. He was born with club feet. Most people would have looked at that as a reason NOT to compete because he couldn’t swim. Greg use it to his advantage, found strength in it & used it to achieve Olympic greatness in the sport of kayaking. WOW! <i>Does that give you a whole new perspective on obstacles or what?!</i> Henry really made me see that we should be THANKING God for our challenges and setbacks. Without our setbacks<span style="color: navy;"> </span>we have NO opportunity for greatness. Think about it my friends…we are on this earth a very short period of time. <i>Don’t you want your life to really mean something? What do you want people to say about you when you are gone? What do you want your story to be? Do you long for something more out of your life? Do you want to be more & achieve more?</i> YOU CAN! God put a seed of greatness in all of us!<span style="color: navy;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Henry spoke of MonaVie’s humble beginnings. Like all great companies MonaVie was started by the vision of a few great men who got together in the summer of 2003. Henry was a four time Olympic athlete and an attorney. He realized early on the importance of life equity and time leveraging. Henry help develop the famous company Franklin Covey known for their extensive time management systems used by companies all over the world. He left Franklin Covey for his dream of starting his own company. He then hooked up with Dallin Larsen in June 2003. They formulated the idea of <i>Monarch Health Sciences</i> while sitting in the hot tub of Henry’s basement. A year later the company evolved into a nutritional beverage company & was named MonaVie. A short six years later they have gone from the basement to the pent house of business success! They are a blessed and favored company because of the foundational principles of which they based their company. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Think about it….<b><i>how much do you think YOUR life can change in 6 short years?</i></b> Just as MonaVie is a company meant to do significant things in this world…SO ARE <b><i>YOU!</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">There are a handful of companies larger than MonaVie…Avon and Mary Kay being two of them that have been around for decades. NONE have achieved the success of MonaVie in such a short period of time! MonaV<span style="color: navy;">i</span>e has set all of the records! Our products are cutting edge and based on millions of dollars of research & science. Our promise has never been to be 1<sup>st</sup> to market but to be BEST in market & we have delivered each & every time. We have always stayed ahead of the curve. Our <b>chocolate bars</b> are coming out next week. Our samples packs & <b>2 oz. shots</b> will be available in June. And we’ll be launching some revolutionary new things at Convention in June…<b>MAJOR product categories!</b> MonaVie is here for the long haul. 98% of companies go under after the first two years. We are completely debt free & financially rock solid!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Henry ended the meeting with his <b>Concepts of Success.</b> Henry had one of the very best Olympic coaches of all time and taught him valuable lessons about achieving success. As I listened to him speak I knew that people’s lives would be forever changed by what they heard this man speak and then apply in their lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">“What separates MEDIOCRE from GREAT”?</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;"> he asked.<span style="color: navy;"> </span><b><i>What awakens the Olympian within<span style="color: navy;"> </span>YOU?</i></b><i> <span style="color: navy;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Urgency Vs. Priorities is the key. We tend to focus on our urgencies. Urgent things demand your attention right now and could be a waste of time. Most people are content with comfort…which is the breeding ground for mediocrity.<span style="color: navy;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">They are <i>“too tired to move.”</i> They are too tired to move because they have NO PURPOSE…they have NO PASSION! <b><i>Have YOU settled for mediocrity?</i></b> If you don’t know what’s important in life you will get comfortable. You must find out what drive<span style="color: navy;">s</span> you. <b><i>What is your passion? What is your purpose?<span style="color: navy;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Success in life is about <b><i>consistency</i></b> and placing <b><i>urgency on your priorities. </i></b>He drew a 4 quadrant diagram on a white board and explained that we spend most of our life in quadrant 3 which is the quadrant of <i>mediocrity.</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;"> <i>Have you gone through your being day very busy but feeling at the end of the day like you have accomplished nothing? </i>This is because we waste our time in a reactive mode. The secret of life & its abundance is in quadrant 3 which is <i>God, our health, family & financial planning.</i> These are things that are important but aren’t demanding our attention right now so we let them slide. These are things that are in the future that we need to act on today. When we don’t spend time in quadrant 2 we end up in Quadrant 1 which is in <i>Crisis and Deadlines.</i> For example, when we don’t plan today for our retirement today we end up in crisis later in our elder years. Quadrant 4 is Waste. Anytime you find yourself doing anything in excess you are in waste mode. Our goal is to shift from quadrant 2 to quadrant 3. The secret to making this shift is finding your <b>PASSION.</b> Henry defined <b><i>Passion as the will and desire to sacrifice what you want now in pursuit of a dream or goal you want more. <o:p></o:p></i></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">What do you want to be known for?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">What do you want in life?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">A year from today what will you be glad you decided to do?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">A year from now are you gonna be glad you ate the right things? Spent time with your children?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">MonaVie is not the “it” in your life…it is the VEHICLE that creates the “it” in your life. So many people have set artificial limits on their lives because society has told them they couldn’t co it. Don’t let someone define your future.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">God gave you ONE life & one life only! Make it count! Live it with passion! Don’t compromise! You need something BIG enough in your life that shakes you up & moves you out of that comfort zone of mediocrity you are in!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">How do you place Urgency on your Priorities?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">First ask yourself…<i>how good do you want to be?</i> It all comes down to how much you’re willing to sacrifice and how consistent you’re willing to be. Success is GUARANTEED if you’re consistent! I heard Pastor Creflo Dollar say the<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">very same thing this am. He said that there is a big difference between “faith” and “trust.” Faith is confidence. Trust is commitment. Faith can waiver. Trust never waivers. It keeps going when faith does not. Let’s face it…we’re all human and because of that our faith will be shaken at times because of obstacles and circumstances. That’s okay because that’s when our trust (commitment) kicks in. You must decide upfront that you are committed and will persevere even when you don’t have the faith (confidence) that things are working out as planned. You must decide that you will finish the race no matter how long it takes and no matter how hard the road gets. That is the kind of perseverance this great country of ours was built on. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">What is the most important Activity to do in MonaVie?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: purple; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">TALK TO SOMEONE.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;"> It’s not complicated. Just share the product and opportunity with people wherever you go.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Make it urgent that you talk to someone today. Make the commitment to make a difference each day by sharing MonaVie with someone. And listen to your self talks. Don’t prejudge. Live your life in the “can do”. Don’t sign up any negative people into your business. They hold you back. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">He ended the meeting with telling us how important it was to be at <b><span style="color: blue;">The Imagine Convention in Salt Lake City,</span></b> June 9-11<sup>th</sup>. The single best way to grow your business is to attend this convention! World renowned Paul Pilzer will be there. We will announce our 3 new products there!

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">For those of you who weren’t there I hope I captured some highlights of the meeting for you. For those of you who attended <b><i>THANK YOU</i></b> for joining us in a history making night! This is THE event that will catapult us to that next level! We are indeed part of something BIGGER than each of us & it is a blessing to be part of it!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">The reason I take the time to capture highlights of these great meetings is because I know for some of you hearing these words it’s all about TIMING. I know that someone out there will read these words, the time will be right to receive them & a light bulb will come on for you. My hope is that you realize that God has planted seeds of greatness in YOU and it now time for you to water them & fulfill the destiny He has waiting for you! WE BELIEVE IN <b><u>YOU!!! </u> </b>Many years ago someone believed in me & that is the reason I am here today sharing this great message with you.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 18.0pt;">We are all connected.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<h1><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Great Leadership Challenge by Jim Rohn<o:p></o:p></span></span></h1><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> If you want to be a leader who attracts quality people, the key is to become a person of quality yourself. Leadership is the ability to attract someone to the gifts, skills, and opportunities you offer as an owner, as a manager, as a parent. What’s important in leadership is refining your skills. All great leaders keep working on themselves until they become effective. Here are some specifics:<br />
Learn to be strong but not impolite. It is an extra step you must take to become a powerful, capable leader with a wide range of reach. Some people mistake rudeness for strength. It’s not even a good substitute.<br />
Next, learn to be kind but not weak. We must not mistake weakness for kindness. Kindness isn’t weak. Kindness is a certain type of strength. We must be kind enough to tell someone the truth. We must be kind enough and considerate enough to lay it on the line. We must be kind enough to tell it like it is and not deal in delusion.<br />
Next, learn to be bold but not a bully. It takes boldness to win the day. To build your influence, you’ve got to walk in front of your group. You’ve got to be willing to take the first arrow, tackle the first problem, discover the first sign of trouble. Like the farmer, if you want any rewards at harvest time, you have got to be bold and face the weeds and the rain and the bugs straight on. You’ve got to seize the moment. <br />
Here’s the next step. You’ve got to learn to be humble but not timid. You can’t get to the high life by being timid. Some people mistake timidity for humility. But humility is a virtue; timidity is a disease. It’s an affliction. It can be cured, but it is a problem.<br />
Humility is almost a God-like word. A sense of awe. A sense of wonder. An awareness of the human soul and spirit. An understanding that there is something unique about the human drama versus the rest of life. Humility is a grasp of the distance between us and the stars, yet having the feeling that we’re part of the stars.<br />
Here’s a good tip: Learn to be proud but not arrogant. It takes pride to build your ambitions. It takes pride in your community. It takes pride in a cause, in accomplishment. But the key to becoming a good leader is to be proud without being arrogant.<br />
Do you know the worst kind of arrogance? Arrogance from ignorance. It’s intolerable. If someone is smart and arrogant, we can tolerate that. But if someone is ignorant and arrogant, that’s just too much to take.<br />
The next step is learning to develop humor without folly. In leadership, we learn that it’s okay to be witty but not silly; fun but not foolish.<br />
Next, deal in realities. Deal in truth. Save yourself the agony of delusion. Just accept life as it is. Life is unique. The whole drama of life is unique. It’s fascinating.<br />
Life is unique. Leadership is unique. The skills that work well for one leader may not work at all for another. However, the fundamental skills of leadership can be adopted to work well for just about everyone: at work, in the community, and at home. </span>Wilber Jeffcoathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00140549842668498222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382544954955818088.post-61793732876739738552011-04-06T09:22:00.000-04:002011-04-06T09:22:32.723-04:004-6-11 Weigh in and Quotes of the Day<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 20.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Wow life is good.

Watching Margaret yesterday in her brown slacks-holding the waist out and then turning to look at the fit- “Well these are ready to fall off of me-can’t wear these anymore!” The smile filled the room-so very proud of her.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

We have moved from our location at 1224 Alice Dr. Suite E to our home at 508 W. Hampton. Not ready for business full time yet but it is coming. This is our third move in 40 yrs and I think we found more things to keep over the last twenty yrs. than in the first twenty. It’s like we have two of everything and then some more than that-you have to laugh or you would sit and cry-our Lord is faithfull and his Favor surrounds us like a shield (Proverbs and Philemon). This too shall pass and we are claiming all the good things that he has for us. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I know that some have asked what happens (working with the RVL weight management system) when you start eating meals again-so now I know-just keep a watch and you do just fine. Sleeping in a little (just the past two days) has been nice too. Back to the paint brush and the dumpster-look for a huge yard/porch sale in the next 30 days.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

We are very busy with our move so I have been neglecting my daily posts (sorry). We are both doing very well with the weight loss, Margaret is -28.85 and I'm -38 lbs. I'm 3 pounds from my goal (188.2) BTW the .2 is there just to get me at total loss of over 40 lbs (bragging rights). Margaret is still not revealing any numbers but is now saying that she is half way to her total weight loss goal.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">We are starting a new samples program with our RVL product and will have three day supplies available starting sometime next week - 803-468-6482 for those of you that are interested in the program. This is the best is call product that is on the market - bar none.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">The following comments are from our business partners Kent and Sherry Braswell - I think they are very relevant to the current economy and world situation. I heard it said not to wish for less problems but for more skills - we cannot fly without gravity...enjoy Sherry's comments and please stop by again.</span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Good Morning MonaVie Family!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Kent & I got a very exciting call from a VERY excited David Warden last night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was so excited he could hardly speak!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had just attended the packed Rex Crain event in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Tulsa</st1:city></st1:place>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rex Crain is a life coach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is a speaker at a lot of Brig’s big events and does meetings all across the country for R3Global. Rex’s first passion was baseball. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f3f3f3;">Like a dream come true, he was picked up and signed by The Boston Red Sox at the age of 18. But just weeks before leaving for his second season, Rex had a spiritual encounter that altered his life's course and caused him to leave his baseball career behind and pursue the discovery of his "God idea." Since that day, Rex has developed a confidence in the ability and willingness of God to help people and to change their lives.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">David said the event was INCREDIBLE and he was so excited to buy Rex’s new book <u>Life Lift</u> and went to his literature table to get his autograph. When he called me he said<i><span style="font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">…”Guess WHO I just had a long, belly to belly encounter with?”</span></i> I said <i><span style="font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“who?”</span></i> Rex Crain! “<i><span style="font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">He was SO incredible Sherry. I am so inspired and so in awe by what he just said. As Heather & I are talking to him he paused & looked into my eyes and said…”I have never done this before at a meeting but I have to tell you that I feel compelled to</span></i> <i><span style="font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pray for you right now…right at this very moment.”</span></i> As he was praying for David he told him that he saw <b><span style="font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">explosive growth</span></b> <b><span style="font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">happening under his left leg, under a team that had been faithful and diligent</span></b>. David said he knew instantly it was his NC team…that it was <b><i><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">YOU!</span></i></b> For those of you that are Christians and live by faith you know that this is <b><span style="font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">confirmation </span></b>from God. When you put God first in your lives and are obedient to His word He REWARDS YOU! For those of you who are skeptical and don’t believe or are unsure of what you believe I would say this to you…<b><span style="font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">WATCH & WITNESS as the mighty hand of God works these next few</span></b> <b><span style="font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">months.</span></b> Your faith <i><span style="font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">will </span></i>grow by what YOU witness. Kent & I have said for over a year now that <i><span style="font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">2011 is a</span></i> <i><span style="font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Supernatural Year of Blessings.</span></i> This means that it is by the hand of God that we will prosper. God is the reason! This is the season! God is the answer! He is the answer to ALL that you seek! He is going to POUR the blessings of favor on this team! <i><span style="font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Remember the story of the fishermen in the Bible who had fished all day but had caught nothing?</span></i> Jesus told them to go back out one more time and cast their nets on the other side. This is what our team has done this year. After a very challenging 2010 we have gone back out. We’ve gone back out in faith. We’ve gone back out in obedience. These fishermen’s boat became so overloaded with fish they could hardly hold them in their boat. They were rewarded for their obedience. You see my friends God wants us to have <b><span style="font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">FAITH </span></b>in Him. He wants to teach us to <b><i><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">walk by faith, not by sight.</span></i></b> He wants us NOT to look at our circumstances but look at what His word tells us. His word is the ONLY truth in the world today and the path of Christ is a narrow one. But when you walk it and are obedient to it the rewards will chase you down…you cannot contain them!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

We are just getting started! In less than a year we will be filling coliseums with masses of people! We believe it! We serve a HUGE GOD…a God that is master of the universe…He is omnipotent and has NO limits! As long as we put Him first and as Rex Crain said…focus on the outcome and not the income God will pour his favor out on us. Remember, our ultimate goal is to LOVE people and bring them into His kingdom. Your eternal life and the eternal lives of those you love is what matters most. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">David also told us that the <b><i><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Fab 5 promo</span></i></b> is a HUGE, HUGE SUCCESS!!! IT WORKS!!! Tulsa Blue Diamonds Tim & Emily Wilson said that everyone they have given one to has signed up! If you haven’t made your bags yet you need to get movin’ because there are people out there who desperately need <b><span style="font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">RVL!</span></b> There are people out there that God has called <b><span style="font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">YOU</span></b> to speak to…has called YOU to deliver His message of hope, health & prosperity to. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

We are blessed & highly favored! You are about to witness the blessings of God like you have never seen! Please make sure you are giving <b><i><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">THANKS</span></i></b> each day for what is already happening in the spiritual realm and is getting ready to show itself in the natural realm. You see the way God works is the exact opposite of the way the world works. In God’s economy you must BELIEVE it before you can SEE it. By SPEAKING it you bring it to you from the spiritual world into the natural world. This is WHY we are always talking to you about the importance of your <b><span style="font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">WORDS</span></b>…the importance of speaking love, properity and success into your life. As Paula White says…your mouth is a supernatural instrument for God. Your words create your world! God has a storehouse of blessings waiting for YOU but He can’t release them when your words do not align with His plan for your life. <b><span style="font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">You gotta SPEAK it to RECEIVE it!</span></b> Kent & I have been SPEAKING it into YOUR lives!

God will not continue to give TO us what He can’t move THROUGH US. We must give to the <b><span style="font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">MORE Project</span></b>, we must make sure we are blessing God with our first fruits. When you honor God with the first 10% of your income He will multiply the other 90%. Believe me…<i><span style="font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">He can do more with your 10% than you can do with your entire 100%!

Drumroll....... 1 month- down 15.4 lbs and down 1 size. I haven`t been sweatin` to the oldies( lol ) but sure have been sweatin to the treadmill. Great results, this plan is GREAT!!!! I feel so much better. On the downside, I will be having surgery on March 10. This means no exercise for 2-4 weeks. I`m staying on the program hoping to maintain during this time until I can hit the walking again. For now I`m trying to give it my all until then. Thank`s for all your support and emails. They are so encouraging. Hope the both of you have a Blessed day, Kay”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

We've stayed 85-90% with the program-but have relaxed for this time. Tomorrow will tell the story. We are trying to finish the last bed room in the 115 yr old home of ours so I can finally have an in home office. Looking good and should be finished this week or by mid of next. We have a home tasting coming up with Gabby in Mineral Spring on Saturday the 26th and are looking for a great turnout there.<br />
If you have questions or need help-let us know 803-468-6482 and we will be happy to answer your questions. We welcome Willa and Clark into the family and had a call from a young lady that will be joining the program in the morning.<br />
Special thanks to our forever friends Windy and Darby (our house guests this weekend)-major help with the room and prayer for a friend..<br />

Talked with a Dr. Mark in Raleigh last night-he commented that the nutritional value of the RVL is such that every person in the world should have this as part of their daily diet. Let us show this to you, 803-468-6482 or 236-3323<br />
