			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://drhopelyn.com/2012/01/building-a-strong-foundation/blueprint/" rel="attachment wp-att-4176"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4176 alignleft" title="Blueprint" src="http://drhopelyn.com/wp-content/uploads/Blueprint-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>Building a strong foundation begins with an evaluation of motivation for greater purpose and an awareness of the fundamentals to your purpose.</p>
<p>Everyone gets to a place where they seek out their life purpose. This is the innate desire to find greater meaning and significance in order to live a life that counts. My passion is to see everyone live their lives according to its design. Psalm 139:16 states, “your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” Do you want to know what were ordained in those days? Do you have a struggle finding out how to explore?</p>
<p>My father was a builder, so during my growing up years I watched him prepare to build homes and was always intrigued by the plans he used. There was a blue print that gave him directions to create each part of these structures. Failing to comply to the blueprint at times, led to major cost and more work to correct. Have you ever tried to make something and not follow the instructions?  What was the result?</p>
<p>Jeremiah 29:11 says, “I know what I&#8217;m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://drhopelyn.com/2012/01/memorization-of-the-word/psalm/" rel="attachment wp-att-4042"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-4042" style="border-image: initial; border-width: 1px; border-color: green; border-style: solid;" title="PSALM" src="http://drhopelyn.com/wp-content/uploads/PSALM.gif" alt="" width="379" height="230" /></a>As a young girl growing up in Jamaica, I had the privilege to go to Sunday School every Sunday morning &#8211; without fail. My mother made sure that we (her children) were groomed under the Biblical teachings from the word of God. This is where my foundation for life was laid.</p>
<p>One of my greatest Sunday School memories is scripture memorization. Today the meaning of hiding God&#8217;s word in my heart means so much more to me now than it did then. I am so happy that they made it fun for us to do. We sang scriptures, we created actions and recited them, we marched to scriptures.. no wonder I can remember them now at moments I need to.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Here is my challenge to you for now, January 10, 2012 &#8211; February 10 2012:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Let us, as a community, memorize Psalm 62! How about that.</li>
<li>Then meet at an online venue I will announce (maybe GoTo Meeting or a similar venue) on February 10, and share with each other</li>
<li><strong>I LOOK FORWARD TO YOU JOINING IN WITH US. </strong></li>
<li><strong>Join the <a title="Memorization of the Word" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/222803247802211/" target="_blank">Memorization of the Word</a> Facebook Community HERE: <a title="MEMORIZATION OF THE WORD" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/222803247802211/" target="_blank">CLICK THIS LINK</a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Here is Psalm 62 (NLT version) &#8211; You may choose to memorize it in any version you wish.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">***********************</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Psalm 62</strong></p>
<p>I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him.</p>
<p>He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.</p>
<p>So many enemies against one man— all of them trying to kill me. To them I’m just a broken-down wall or a tottering fence.</p>
<p>They plan to topple me from my high position. They delight in telling lies about me. They praise me to my face but curse me in their hearts. Interlude</p>
<p>Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.</p>
<p>He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.</p>
<p>My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.</p>
<p>O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Interlude</p>
<p>Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind, and the powerful are not what they appear to be. If you weigh them on the scales, together they are lighter than a breath of air.</p>
<p>Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the center of your life.</p>
<p>God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times: Power, O God, belongs to you;</p>
<p>Unfailing love, O Lord, is yours. Surely you repay all people according to what they have done.</p>

<p>It is my belief that finding God’s divine design for your life is the epitome of life itself. This is where life really begins! Coaching with Dr. Brown has strengthened this idea and practically helped me to identify and mobilize my skills, ability, gifts and talents to making God’s plan for my life a reality. It can be very frustrating to know you have potential and not be able to perform at the level of your potential. My coach carefully worked with me helping me to articulate my potential and transfer it into actual performance. The biblical, Christ-centered approach she uses is very effective because in understanding who you are, you must contact God, your Maker.</p>
<p>Coaching in general is a life transforming service, one which assists in answering some tough questions that will determine your life’s direction. Many of us really believe we know what we want and exactly where we are heading in terms of life goals only to realize as I did through coaching, that we have some misconceptions or some stuff that we need to surrender to God in order to be successful. Even on the road the life goals and in the process of realizing your dreams some challenges may arise. Coaching effectively prepares you for these challenges by foretelling some of the popular challenges and prepares you to be resilient in responding to them.</p>
<p>I feel prepared and ready to handle with God’s help the challenges that will come as I am now energized to make practical the potential that God has invested in me and remain indomitable as challenges will come during the process!</p>
<p>Want to discover secrets to your Life Design?</p>
<p>Want to begin to operate at your highest potential?</p>
<p>Want to be more successful at what you do?</p>
<p><em><strong>If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, coaching with Dr. Brown is highly recommended for you!</strong></em></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span>Have you begun creating your plan for advancement in 2012?!</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Take a moment and talk to God and begin to receive His instructions to you for this next season for your life!</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-3468" href="http://drhopelyn.com/2011/12/divine-design/psalm139/"><img class="size-full wp-image-3468 aligncenter" title="Psalm139" src="http://drhopelyn.com/wp-content/uploads/Psalm139.jpg" alt="" width="255" height="198" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand.<br />
I&#8217;m an open book to you;<br />
even from a distance, you know what I&#8217;m thinking.<br />
You know when I leave and when I get back;<br />
I&#8217;m never out of your sight.<br />
You know everything I&#8217;m going to say<br />
before I start the first sentence.<br />
I look behind me and you&#8217;re there,<br />
then up ahead and you&#8217;re there, too—<br />
your reassuring presence, coming and going.<br />
This is too much, too wonderful—<br />
I can&#8217;t take it all in! </span></p>
<p>Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit?<br />
to be out of your sight?<br />
If I climb to the sky, you&#8217;re there!<br />
If I go underground, you&#8217;re there!<br />
If I flew on morning&#8217;s wings<br />
to the far western horizon,<br />
You&#8217;d find me in a minute—<br />
you&#8217;re already there waiting!<br />
Then I said to myself, &#8220;Oh, he even sees me in the dark!<br />
At night I&#8217;m immersed in the light!&#8221;<br />
It&#8217;s a fact: darkness isn&#8217;t dark to you;<br />
night and day, darkness and light, they&#8217;re all the same to you.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-3481" href="http://drhopelyn.com/2011/12/divine-design/butterflylifecycle/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3481" title="butterflylifecycle" src="http://drhopelyn.com/wp-content/uploads/butterflylifecycle-300x208.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="208" /></a></p>
<p>Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;<br />
you formed me in my mother&#8217;s womb.<br />
I thank you, High God—you&#8217;re breathtaking!<br />
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!<br />
I worship in adoration—what a creation!<br />
You know me inside and out,<br />
you know every bone in my body;<br />
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,<br />
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.<br />
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;<br />
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,<br />
The days of my life all prepared<br />
before I&#8217;d even lived one day.</p>
<p>Your thoughts—how rare, how beautiful!<br />
God, I&#8217;ll never comprehend them!<br />
I couldn&#8217;t even begin to count them—<br />
any more than I could count the sand of the sea.<br />
Oh, let me rise in the morning and live always with you!<br />
And please, God, do away with wickedness for good!<br />
And you murderers—out of here!—<br />
all the men and women who belittle you, God,<br />
infatuated with cheap god-imitations.<br />
See how I hate those who hate you, God,<br />
see how I loathe all this godless arrogance;<br />
I hate it with pure, unadulterated hatred.<br />
Your enemies are my enemies!</p>
<p>Investigate my life, O God,<br />
find out everything about me;<br />
Cross-examine and test me,<br />
get a clear picture of what I&#8217;m about;<br />
See for yourself whether I&#8217;ve done anything wrong—<br />
then guide me on the road to eternal life.<br />
Psalm 139 [Message Version]<br />

<p><font size="4">There is nothing more exciting than to see a Christian woman in leadership begin to see herself as God sees her, feel confident in the gifts he has given her, and share those gifts with those she is called to serve confidently. </p>
<p>You might have been told:<br />
You’re not good enough<br />
You’re not qualified enough<br />
You’re not the right colour<br />
Or,     We can’t work with you because ________________ (I will let you fill in the blank)<br />
There is no need to allow these reasons to stop you from leading with joy and confidence. </p>

<strong> The Normal Heart</strong></p>
<p>The heart is a muscle, about the size of a clenched fist. It is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, every second of every day. The circulating blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body’s organs and tissues, and drops off waste products to be filtered out by the kidneys, liver and lungs. The following is a description of how a &#8220;normal&#8221; heart works.</p>
<p>The heart is a muscle, about the size of a clenched fist. It is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, every second of every day. The circulating blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body’s organs and tissues, and drops off waste products to be filtered out by the kidneys, liver and lungs.</p>
<p>The heart performs its task through the collaborative efforts of three components:</p>
<p>*The heart structure (the muscle&#8217;s chambers and valves)<br />
*The electrical system (the signals that tell the heart to beat)<br />
*The circulatory system (the blood pathways)</p>
<ul>
The Heart Structure</ul>
<p>The heart muscle is divided into four chambers — the left and right atria (the upper chambers) and the left and right ventricles (the lower chambers). With each heartbeat, the atria draw blood into the heart and send it on to the ventricles, which push the blood out of the heart. Valves located between the chambers and at the ends of the ventricles, open and close like doorways to make sure the blood continues to move forward in the right direction.</p>
<ul>
The Electrical System</ul>
<p>What keeps the heart pumping is a built-in electrical system. An electrical impulse generator, called the “sinus node,” sends signals from the right atrium to trigger the heartbeat, like a natural pacemaker. The electrical current follows a web of pathways through the heart, causing the chambers to squeeze and release in a steady, rhythmic sequence that draws blood into the heart and pushes it out.</p>
<ul>
The Circulatory System</ul>
<p>Arteries are the vessels that carry “fresh” blood, rich in oxygen, from the left side of the heart to smaller vessels, called capillaries, throughout the body. Veins return “used” blood from the capillaries to the right side of the heart, which routes it to the lungs to pick up fresh oxygen. The fresh blood then returns to the left side of the heart, and the cycle repeats.</p>
<p>During each heartbeat, the heart contracts and relaxes. When your heart contracts, it pushes blood out of the two pumping chambers (ventricles). When your heart relaxes, the ventricles refill with blood. The term “ejection fraction” refers to the percentage of blood that’s pumped out of a filled ventricle with each heartbeat. This percentage helps your healthcare provider determine if you have heart failure or other kinds of heart disease. Learn more about ejection fraction (EF) and understanding your EF number »</p>
<p>When Things Don’t Work Together</p>

common heart problems.</p>
<p>Trouble in any part of the heart’s components can disrupt the entire system and lead to problems elsewhere. For instance, a clogged artery can cause a heart attack, which can damage a part of the heart muscle, which can disrupt the electrical pathway in the damaged area, which can cause a disturbance in the heart rhythm (an arrhythmia).</p>
<ul>
Keeping Things Running Smoothly</ul>
<p><strong>Keeping this interrelated system healthy is largely under your control.</strong> Following the commonly prescribed advice to eat well, exercise, avoid excess alcohol and refrain from smoking can go a long way toward maintaining good heart health. However, some heart problems can occur despite the best efforts to stay healthy. Ongoing research continues to lead to new medicines, procedures and interventions to help minimize heart problems and keep the whole system running smoothly.</p>
