The New Norms

  Sigh, I know what some of you are thinking…”I don’t get the point of the whole renew, revamp and reinvent mantra you're going on about.” Well, that’s what this specific post is for; to give you a little razzle-dazzle of what we do here, how we do it, and why. Our goal here is simple: To get on the right path (aka to begin striding in purpose). To elevate to new heights that seem unreachable, all while using our ultimate guide as we fight through each season. Believe it or not, the 3 words aren’t just some cute slogan or catchphrase…they’re actually different phases that we’re going to use to anchor us as we walk through this together.

Here we Renew the mind for personal growth, which is Phase #1.

(I'll be using the Holy Bible for reference btw because this blog is Led by the Lord...it's his word that know exactly what to say)

In the Bible

Romans 12:2 read:

“Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the RENEWING of your mind. Then you will be" able to test and approve what God’s will is- his good, pleasing, perfect will.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   To speak plainly, we are going to start with the transformation of your mind by using God's Word

(which will ignite life & spiritual discernment of what's considered "the truth").

The renewal process can begin when our construed thought patterns come to an end. Using: God, the Bible (aka scripture), prayer, and applied knowledge we can experience a purification process that will filter out every dysfunctional thing you (in your mind) can and have been trying to surviving off of. When our mindset changes we’re able to properly bob and weave through the obstacles of life that are so boldly thrown our way. See Renewing as “mental sanctification”. It’s the start of actually moving forward with redemption in your heart, and once that portion is understood, and put into continual practice it’s safe to move to Phase #2: Revamp!

To Revamp is to rebuild. All our beliefs, and behaviors are probably stacked up high on a crappy foundation like:

 drugs, money, fame & fortune, alcohol, sex mixed in with worldly success; pride, pain, daddy issues, addiction, failed relationships, and many more unsustainable "gems" (#Drama&Trauma). Sooner or later the house that you've been living in will come crumbling down because it was made out of straw & sand.; you’ll realize the place you locked yourself in was never really a sturdy home to begin with. Once we tweak the new blueprint for the inside we can start working on the outside; we’re going to tear down your old destructive habits, and rebuild you holy ones from scratch. In Phase #2, We lay down a more stable, and indestructible foundation that can hold up the weight of the world no problem. This may take some time because like rebuilding anything it's a tedious process, but with a little reconstruction, a dash of patience, AND grace it’ll happen slowly but surely before you know it.

Once you and God work together to use a whole lotta brain power, and your best power tools Phase #3 will begin to evolve all by itself: To Reinvent!

To Reinvent means: “To change something so much that it appears to be ENTIRELY new".

The New Norms equation is Mental Sanctification + Reconstruction= Reinvention.

Once you're completely reestablished, the way you start to carry yourself will be unrecognizable to the masses. People will want to know HOW you completely levelled up, and all you'll be able to tell em’ is that God rewired

2 Corinthians 5:17-18 into your DNA code:

“So then, if anyone is in Christ, that person is part of a NEW creation. The old things have passed away, and LOOK, new" things have arrived. All of these new things are FROM God, who reconciled us to himself THROUGH Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.

This Inner and Outer transformation process that purifies...will have you looking the same in the face, but the way you dress, act, walk, talk, and think will be totally different... ONLY if your WILLING to partner with your provider. The way you go into this journey isn’t going to be the way you walk out of it. These 3 Phases are a part of the pruning process that the Creator himself constantly walks me through EVERY SINGLE DAY. Yes it hurts, but I don’t regret a thing because God erased who I used to be (the girl you once knew very well), so I can stand firmly in who I was CALLED  to be

(the women I am today because of the saving grace of God).

We’re going to be talking about some real stuff on here…some things that may make you feel uncomfortable

(I reassure you the discomfort & the growing pains are good just so you know). But, understandably, If this begins to be too much for you this is your free pass to swipe left on TheNewNorms “profile” like Tinder. For most people, uncovering, and digging for the truth (aka living in the light) MAY not be your speed and that’s fine. But for the people who are sick of living mediocre hollow lives, & want to develop into who you were predestined to be...then welcome.

 Know that you're in the right spot.

Let’s get started…have a seat, don't forget to take some notes because we're going back to the basics...

Which means class is official in session!
