WELCOME!

I am so glad you have decided to have a "Cup of T" with Yours Truly! The purpose of this blog is to provide a place of expression of interests, concerns, etc...a place to "elevate your mind", over a cup of T. ;-)

Be sure to check out the "Spill Of The Week", which is pretty much my outlook on specific issues one may encounter in this journey of life. COMMENTS ARE ENCOURAGED! Remember, this is a place to "elevate your minds..." :-)
Also, if you have any private questions, or are seeking advice, send me an email to Cup_of_T@ymail.com, and check back periodically to see if your question was addressed. Don't worry, your name will stay anonymous.

This page was inspired by the many students I came across who expressed a need for direction, and a positive influence during my tenure as an educator. Thank you for pushing me to step out of my own box. Love you guys!!!


Disclaimer: The words expressed are strictly the OPINION of Tiara A. Mikell, backed up by biblical resources...Let me start off by stating, I am NOT a licensed therapist/psychologist! I am simply one who seeks to be there as a "listening ear", "big sister", "motivator", or "inspiration" to any and everyone who seeks advice. I am not perfect, and make mistakes like the next human, so if you are seeking TRUE PSYCHOLOGICAL help, I am not the one for you...yet!

Sincerely,

-T

Specifying Your Goals




I did a little reading today, and thanks to a devotional by the author Rick Warren, I was left with a lot to think about.
Ask yourself these 4 questions...write them out;not formally, but just to have an idea of what your SPECIFIC goals are. I know it seems simple...it did to me when I first read it, but when it came time to answer them, I was all over the place!






What do I want to be?


What do I want to do?


What do I want to have?


Why do I want it?


Don't worry about the "how" yet...once you figure out what and why you want what you want, God will grant you direction. How can God grant you the desires of your heart and you don't even know what you want yet? I mean, of course HE is all-knowing, and HE knows the stuff we want that we don't even know yet...but I'm sure HE would like it if you could express what your desires are to HIM so that they can be dedicated to HIM...
John 14:14 reads, " If you ask anything in my name, I will do it."  Just a thought...

 ( There is a catch to this...my God is not a genie...don't get it confused. Psalms 37:4)


Now this is just for your own personal meditation/reflection. Oftentimes our goals are left open for scrutiny when we start letting the world in on our desires, and in some cases it causes us to lose focus or reshape our goal bc we are concerned about what ppl may think.( I'll save that for another "spill of the day") So it's best you just keep it between you and God. However, if you feel the need to share, you are still welcome to do so.


I do want to leave you with a scripture though...think about it and tell me what you think:

Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law. Proverbs 29:18

Is that pretty much the sam message as the saying, "A man without a dream(s) will perish"? (Not sure if that saying is biblical, but if it is, please give me the exact scripture!)
Or is it saying like, where there is no Word from God, or your vision/dream isn't aligned with HIS plan, then its chaos from there? Hmmm....




Until next time,


Be blessed and FOCUS!
