Be Proactive
I used to sit back and expect God to do all the work while I reaped the benefits. I always thought if there was something He wanted me to have, He’d give it to me, and I only needed to be still. It was during those moments that God showed me I still needed to […]

Walk away
Not everyone that is mean spirited is “going through something.” The reality is that’s just who they truly are. When you encounter these people, it’s best to walk away. You’ll get nowhere by engaging in fights with people who are hell-bent on making your life miserable, because they can’t find any joy in theirs. No […]

Going Up
Over the weekend, I went on a girl’s ski trip in the mountains with my friend and some of her other friends. When I first learned there’d be 10 of us rooming together, I was a bit nervous. One, I only knew some of the ladies and two, that many personalities together can often be […]

Slow and steady
Can you believe January is literally over with? Can you also believe that even though this month is ending, and you might not have accomplished all you set out to, small progress is better than no progress at all? I have been on a healthy fit journey for ages now, and although I’ve had some […]

Even them
Naturally, I am a very loving person. However, it can be difficult when the person hasn’t been very loving or kind to me. I can remember at one point in my life encountering an individual I regretted meeting. Quickly following our demise, I hated them. It’s so shocking for me to use that word, because […]

Positive Outlook

Reach down
“God reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.” Psalms 18:16 NLT I know what it feels like to be low; so low, even the ground looks high. I’ve had many days of trials, tribulations, and bouts of feeling lonely, that the only two things I […]

Prosperity in the wasteland
You’ve been working hard, but everyone and everything has been working hard against you. No matter your efforts and obedience to God, you don’t see the fruits of your labor. You’re in the desert, seeing nothing as you are surrounded by dry rivers with no opportunity for anything to grow, including you. But what […]

Lucky #7(00)
Today is my 700th post! Yes, 700!!!! I can’t imagine or believe I’ve written hundreds of posts, let alone 100. I never thought that when I started Notes by La’Rue, I would make a huge shift in the content I posted, but I know it’s all God’s doing. I started out writing about my “daddy […]

Everlasting
I want a new house. I want a new car. I want my dream job. I want nicer clothes and shoes. I want a lot of money. I want status and power. But what I really want, is peace and joy! Two things that are everlasting and only God can give and take away. There’s […]
