The Habit Poem

I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command.

Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me, and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done, and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.

I am the servant of all great men.
And, alas, of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.

I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine. Plus, the intelligence of a man.
You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; it makes no difference to me.

Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at your feet. Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.

Who am I? I am a HABIT

What habits are hindering you from becoming all who you are meant to be?

I DECIDED TO GROW & FLOURISH

11/1/2020

I Decided to Grow and Flourish
By: Sandra Garcon

Written July 6, 2014, on train from Switzerland to Venice, Italy. Inspired by trees growing out of these huge thick mountainous rocks.

I have decided to grow and flourish even in the midst of difficult and treacherous environments
In environments scares of water, I dig my roots
In hard places that fail to trap the rain, there my roots go deeper and I flourish
No I didn't decide on these unlikely environments
But it was the place God chose to cultivate my strength
I have done what others fail to do. I've survived
I spited my cruel teacher and extended my branches and flourish
Feel the breeze through me, come beneath my shades there I will cover you as He covered me
Come lean on me. I can carry you. For great was the price I paid for this strength
I have decided to grow and flourish in:
Mountainous regions
In deserts
Beneath the earth
In ravines
In the depths of the ocean
On frozen ground
In drought
In the flood
In the eye of the storms
In jungles
In bitter and dark forests there I decided to grow and flourish

WHAT OBSTICLES HAVE HELD YOU FROM GROWING AND FLOURISHING?

You have the Power (Song)

10/26/2020

You have the Power by Sandra Garcon

(Chorus/hook)
You have the power, power to be, so be what you will. You have the power…power to be, so be what you will. It’s all in you so be what you will. (3x)

It’s not where you been nor what you’re missing, just open up your mouth, declare what you will, it’s in you so be what you will. Daughters of the Most High, open up your mouth declare and decree, so it shall be.
You have the power to be. Release your past, your future is here. It’s a new day for you.

Chorus/Hook

Lift your head up, square your shoulders and run, run, run into your future. You’re not bound by yesterday nor circumstances. God has declared today you are free.

Chorus/Hook

Daughters of Yeshua you’ve been released to be what you will, so be that. You are anointed with fresh oil. Open up your mouth declare and decree and so it shall be.

Chorus/Hook

What is your journey revealing?

10/20/2020

For many, this year has been insane because of all of the changes that it has brought. For some these changes created sorrowful places while for others these changes brought FREEDOM!

This year has brought me into a place where the loss I suffered in business and relationships became the foundation for some of the most incredible dreams realized. This ministry is one such realized dream. I knew I would be in ministry 19-20 years ago. The problem was my perception of what ministry is supposed to look like prevented me from starting a ministry, though I knew God was calling me into ministry. When God gave me new perspective on how HE designed to use me in ministry, IT SET ME FREE!

I learned ministry was serving others in the format that is most Sandra, most true to the core of who I am. It was my fingerprint, my imprint, my voiceprint= My unique recipe of how I impact the lives of others. My life experiences, education and relationship with God and the Holy Spirit qualified me to serve and minister.

This truth and revelation revealed my untold strength, power and worth to not only to me, those around me but for the Kingdom of God! What is your journey revealing about you?

What does your future you, look like?

10/15/2020

What does your future you look like? How do you look Physically?
Emotionally?
Financially?
Spiritually?
Professionally?
Relationally?
Educationally?

I challenge you to begin to prophetically speak into the future you!

Circumstances as Incubators

10/8/2020

According to Healthline Parenthood, "An incubator is designed to provide a safe, controlled space for infants to live while their vital organs develop." The article continues, "an incubator provides an environment that can be adjusted to provide the ideal temperature as well as the perfect amount of oxygen, humidity, and light. Without this specifically controlled environment, many infants could not survive." Additionally, "incubator offers protection from allergens, germs, excessive noises, and light levels that might cause harm."

Sometimes we find ourselves in challenging circumstances that causes us to feel like we're in a box. An environment that boxes us in or appears to not give us any room to grow and flourish. But these circumstances, problems and situations are the very things that God uses to isolate us into an environment that provides safety while our vital organs or our character is being developed. God adjusts the temperature in our life's incubators to make sure we get the perfect amount of oxygen, humidity and light which are necessary for growth as lack of it can cause premature death. God uses situations, circumstance and problems to protect us from real levels of harm.

Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." There's not any circumstance, situation and problem that God does not use for our good, for our development, for our growth. The next circumstance, situation or problem that comes into your life, DO NOT BE AFRAID! Allow God to use them as incubators for the development of you and those around you.

I want to Inherit the Wind

10/3/2020

I want to Inherit the Wind

I want to inherit the wind. The wind! Yes, so I can find myself where I choose.
I don’t have to be anybody’s prisoner. Lock in anyone’s case or perception of who I should be, where I should go, what I should do.

I want to inherit the wind. The wind! Yes, so I can find myself where I choose.
I will take my problems and the masks I wear and scattered them in the wind. Sit on a high mountain and watch my shackles smashed in the wind. I would laugh hard and deep as the wind destroy them as they destroyed me.

I want to inherit the wind. The wind! Yes, so I can find myself where I choose.
I would grab hold the shame I bore. The baggages heaped on my back. The anchor attached to my soul that denied me elevation, denied me breath, denied me peace. Off to the wind I would blow them with fierce anger and resentment. I would send the wind after them like the dogs they send after me that devoured. Ravished me.

I want to inherit the wind. The wind! Yes, so I can find myself where I choose.
I would throw rocks at the ceiling, crack the ceiling, drill holes, watch it cave in, loose the wind in it to uproot the foundation of this vile temple of lies. Deception. The lies that told to me and spoken over me. Lies that ensnared me. Disempowered me. Deprive me hope. They were like leeches that sucked me dry left me barren and desolate.

I want to inherit the wind. The wind! Yes, so I can find myself where I choose.
I will float in the air for a while and rest my head on the clouds as the wind blow softly over me and ever so gently removing layers upon layers of what I was until I’m completely naked. My soul exposed so the Son can burn away the debris, the excess that weighed me down.

I want to inherit the wind. The wind! Yes, so I can find myself where I choose.
Oh that he may wash me with hyssop and on my wounds the balms of Gilead. That he would take earth mixed with the Word and open my eyes. Like the blind men that He would ask me, what I will of Him. I would response “if that will, make me whole.” And He would respond with healing and wholeness. He would command me “Talita Cummi” Maiden Arise!

I want to inherit the wind. The wind! Yes, so I can find myself where I choose.
I would mount the wings of the wind to find myself in His tabernacle that I may inquire in His temple. To be known in His courts as Beloved. To sit at His table not as a guest but as His own. That His precious blood would be my claim to the royal lineage that s heir of God and joint heir with Christ and I would inherit more the wind.

Digested Love

10/2/2020

One of the great challenges of our world today is not global warming, COVID-19, political corruption, racism or any of the very real and paralizing issues facing our world. The greatest problem we have in the earth realm is a lack of love for ourselves. We simply do not love ourselves well at all. We are constanly comparing ourselves to others and emotionally cutting our legs right from under us.

Love is such a powerful gift but unfortunately finds itself in the hands of broken and imperfect people. That's ALL of us in case you didn't know. So while love is pure and holy by the time it goes through our life filters, the corridors of our traumas, what people said about us, the lacks in our lives and on and on, when we finally give it to someone else it can be so altered and so disfigured that there's no way that's love.

God is the only source of pure unperverted love known to men and scripture says He daily pours love out on us and over us. The same way Moses and the children of Isreal daily received fresh mana, we can daily get our fill of fresh love everyday. The first person that needs to eat from it is US! Once we eat of pure love, injest it, savor it, digest it, allow it go through our entire system, body, soul (will, mind, emotions) and spirit then we can invite others to eat from our lives. They will see the way we treat and care for ourselves. The kindness, the tenderness, the consistency, of how we love us and they will be complelled to not only love themselves that way by pursuing the source themselves but will inturn love us that way. Only then, love is not contaminated or perverted by our experiences. Everyone loving this way eliminates every problem known to men. Digested love purifies us, provides correction and heals us.

TRUTH VS FACT

10/2/2020

Reality is a funny and deceptive (a lie or not real) thing. What’s going on in your right now moment is a fact NOT truth. Fact simply is a set of theories or situation that can be proven. Fact is 2+2 will always equal 4, no matter how much you want it to equal a different number. Truth is a fact that can be altered or changed. Truth always carries a BUT. Here’s an example. I got an “F” in math. The fact in this situation is that I got an “F” in math. Fact looks at what’s presented or what actually is. It can be assumed that because I got an “F” in math that I’m not good in math. But the truth could be several things: I’m not good in math. I had some family or personal problems that kept me from concentrating in math class. I’m above the math level I’m being taught so I was bored and didn’t do the work. I may have been sick so I missed a lot of days from school. And the list goes on of the truth situations that produced a fact or the “F”. What is important for you to understand is that while you can’t change the present (right now) facts you can change future facts.
Yes you have gone through a lot in your life. You have experience a lot of hurt and pain. You may have experienced violence in your family. You may have seen friends or family members get involved in gangs or drugs. May you have been abused by someone you love. Maybe your family doesn’t always have enough food, you’re always moving from one place to another. Maybe the people around you are not going to college or excelling in school. Maybe you have mental, emotional or behavioral issues. Maybe no one around is encouraging you to be the best or people telling you that you can’t be this or you can’t be that and so many other painful experiences. You have to remember all of these situations or circumstances are your right now facts but they don’t have to be your future facts or the real truth about you.
You are an amazing person with so much potential. It’s like garden where a farmer planted a lot of different seeds. You are like this garden with thousands of seeds (gifts, talents & abilities) planted in you. You don’t always know what gifts, talents or abilities you may have inside but you have to continue watering your garden (getting an education, going to college, learning a trade, get a hobby, try out different activities or sports, learn something new every day…) make sure your garden is exposed to sunlight (get to know people who’s different then you, develop great habits, connect with people who are strong in an areas you’re weak in and learn from them…). Keep an eye on your garden and remove the weeds (stay away from people that will lead you down the wrong path, remove them from your life). Sometimes it’s better to be by yourself even though it can be lonely, then to be around people you don’t really like or may not like you either. If you have to make yourself fit in anywhere then you are in the wrong place. The right place will always feel right deep down inside.). Then be patient with yourself. Wait! Great things don’t grow over night. All of the greatness in you will take time to develop. It will take even years but that’s ok because you are worth it. The world can't wait to welcome and celebrate you. Your school, family and friends need to see you be excellent so they can be excellent too. Most importantly, you need you to be the best you, you can be.
Do not get fooled by the facts in your life. Be strong enough to create the truths and facts you want in your future.
