Continually In My Mouth

All rights reserved ByJRochelle(C) 

v. 1 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praises shall continually be in my mouth.

This morning, I found myself meditating on this scripture. I thought to myself, How can His praise CONTINUALLY be in my mouth?  It would be silly to suggest that David was insinuating that he was about to embark on a marathon praise session. I believe that he meant that he would praise God through his life at every opportunity. David resolves that he will not focus on his circumstances, but he will instead focus on his God praising Him for who He is and what he does. David was recommending a life of worship. I am to worship God through way I relate to others and react in situations. So during my time of meditation I thought about the things I have planned and practical ways that I could keep his praises continually in my mouth.

I will probably interact with several service providers. By choosing to exercise love as described in 1 Corinthians 13 and if there is a problem I can be sure that my conversation be full of grace and seasoned with salt. If there are any discrepancies I can choose to be honorable.

I will probably drive; now road rage is not a problem for me but sometimes I think I am the cause of road rage. A lot of times I am unsure of my route so I drive slowly and to be honest I usually miss signals. By signals I mean there may be a person who wants to change lanes and I don't notice because I'm so worried . I will bless the Lord by choosing to accept His peace as I drive and do my best not to cause other drivers to stumble.

I will definitely interact with my husband. I will bless the Lord by understanding and supporting my husband in ways that show  my support for Christ. This like the other tasks will require me to take the focus off of myself and put it on God and others. I can't do this in my own strength so right now I just want to commit my day to the Lord so that his praises shall continually be in my mouth.

I encourage you to think of practical ways to worship God in your daily life and let me know what you come up with and how it turns out.

Because You Are Young

1 Timothy 4:12

Unfortunately we have reached an age where adults have decided not to hold young people responsible for their own actions. When a "child" commits a crime, disobeys rules, disrespects, elders, the like "we" have decided not to hold him or her accountable. A friend who teaches in the local school system told me that administrators to her not to admonish students for cursing or talking back. When a child steals or does not show up to school, the parents are punished. This allows children to grow up learning that there is always someone else to blame for his or her actions. What happens when these same children become the adults?

As the lyricist writes, I believe the children are our future. Unfortunately we are not teaching them well. What's even more tragic is that in the future they will have to lead the way because they will be the adults.

In the scripture, Paul instructs Timothy to not allow others to look down on him because he is young AND commands him to set an example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Paul says in a nutshell that a person's physical age is not necessarily an indication of his level of maturity. Further more, physical age SHOULD NOT be a factor in submission to a legitimate authority figure, as Timothy.

Let's stop teaching our young people to pass blame around. Teach them what is right and hold them accountable when they do something different.

What’s In a Name?

Jeanicia Rochelle Elder’s business gained its inception in 1997 when she declared her love for all things media. Since then she has moonlighted for several companies including: Acadiana Open Channel, The Bridge Ministry of Acadiana, and several Houston area churches. Only this year did she did she take the plunge to enter the business world.

Before I introduce you the work, let me answer a question fan, Derix Dugan: Why ByJRochelle?

9 years ago when I met the man who I eventually married you always found me creating something. At the time we met, it was clothes. My grandmother taught me to sew; I eventually acquired a sewing machine with which I would make gifts for friends and family. Gregory randomly suggested that I create my own line of clothing called, yep you guessed it, J Rochelle. When Gregory and I rekindled our friendship, he began to encourage me to harness my talents. Although people continually told me all along that I did excellent work and recommended me to other people, I never thought that I could be a business. Gregory motivated me to not wait for someone to hire me, and hire myself. It reminded me of “J Rochelle”. As our relationship grew I started to seek alternate outlets for my creative talents and created an online portfolio, aptly titled JRochelle Media Productions.

A few months ago, I created a Facebook page to generate fans and create a temporary place to display my work. Once you get so many fans, you have the option of creating an official name. With the help of my husband I started to brainstorm possible ideas. He thought the title of my temporary portfolio , “J. Rochelle Media Productions” and even the title of my photography division, “Captured By J. Rochelle” were too long. I wanted to pick a name that communicated the vastness of my work. Finally, Gregory said, “ByJRochelle”! It was perfect. I like the idea that the name does not limit my business, because when you see “ByJRochelle” you never know exactly what it will be: a video, graphics, pictures, a resume. The possibilities are endless.

I am anxious to begin this leg of my journey and I hope that I get a chance to help you get your message across. Please visit my facebook page and my temporary portfolio. Don’t forget to click like and let me know you stopped by.
