Forgiveness...

Since when did it become so hard to say "I apologize"? What do you say we try for a "please forgive me"? Not always easy for me! I would tell myself, "self, don't let pride get in your way...pride goes before destruction"! Self didn't always listen though! I'm reminded of what it felt like to have Godly sorrow for something I had done...its not the self punishment where I'd condemn myself to death, but its the conviction of  The Sweet Holy Spirit that loves me into correction! It's that gentle tap on the shoulder reminding me that I can do better than that! What really seals the deal for me is when God blesses me despite my mess, it makes me want to do right all the more! If God can love me & bless me even in my wrong, how much more will He bless me when I purpose to do what is right in His sight? I love You Lord, so very much!

Thank You Lord for forgiving me & for helping me to forgive myself !



SALVATION... Please Don't Leave Earth Without It!

Ouch! That Hurts!


Have you ever found yourself doing things that cause you pain, be it physical, emotional, mental, spiritual or financial? If you answered yes then join the club! You're in the right place! You're officially HUMAN!


For some, you may throw yourself into things without thinking it through first! For others, you may totally over think everything and you wind up with nothing in the end! Are you indecisive? Just can't seem to make up your mind? Well, what happens when all of the above describes you perfectly? That used to be the case for me, until I got sick & tired of being sick & tired!


My Life was like a roller coaster ride, up, down & all around until I did some soul searching. I remember crying uncontrollably, feeling as though I was about to lose my mind... and that's when Jesus so lovingly tapped me on my shoulder & encouraged me to cast all of my cares upon Him, because He cares for me! It wasn't easy, but I began to hurl my concerns, my disappointments, my heartache, my failures, my heart's desires & my past upon Him! What a relief it was to unload everything! At least I thought it was everything, but it wasn't! I was relieved of the pressure for a moment, but unbeknownst to me, I didn't give my Lord all of it! I later realized that I kept some things in those secret places of my mind & heart!


So, my journey continues on... one step at a time!

Baby Steps...
Posted on October 25, 2010 at 10:01 AM Comments comments (0)

I'm still on my journey, taking one step at a time! I must tell you that some days the steps are so small that it seems I am barely even moving at all! How does one go from leaps & bounds to paralyzation? For me, when I feel I can barely move, that's when I know there is too much chatter in my mind! The seeds of fear sprouts negativity, which is used to shut me down! So, do I remain down? Nooooo! When the enemy talks, I TALK BACK! I say who God says I am! I speak positively, even if I don't feel it YET!

Its all about the process I'm going through, its NOT going to take me out! Its actually going to push me into being better! Sure, it hurts... it sucks, who wants to be mashed on all the time? However, I've learned to give thanks in everything & that helps me take baby steps FORWARD! So what's my point? I'm glad you asked! ;)

The bottom line is...I must KEEP IT MOVING!!!

Hello good people, its been a while! But, I'm back!

RE POST: We may not speak anymore but you still mean the world to me.

I read this post on Facebook & a lot of the comments people left & I see there are quite a few people who wish things were different! They long for a chance to be back in that person's good graces who they no longer talk to. I have been there myself! It has me thinking, got the creative juices stirring a bit! Gotta let it flow so others may know, the wisdom God imparts is coming from my heart... to yours, please receive it in love!

To everything there is a season. Whether it was a fight, a misunderstanding, a lie, cheating, backstabbing, an unhealthy relationship, a toxic friendship, you've just grown apart or death...the bottom line is that season in our life is over & that is painful! We can't undo whatever has been done or said, but we can learn from it & vow not to repeat it! There are many shoulda, coulda, woulda's in life, but yesterday is gone...what are we going to do with today? I have hurt others & I have been hurt by others. Both suck! I've learned that God can heal all wounded hearts & He can repair broken relationships between families & friends in His timing! FORGIVENESS IS A GIFT WE GIVE TO OURSELVES! ♥

Once we forgive, we can be made whole & enjoy life! I like to ask God why a person is in my path of living, is this person going to add to my life or take away from it? He will reveal it in one way or another! DON'T IGNORE THE RED FLAGS! ALLOW GOD TO GIVE YOU YOUR DIVINE CONNECTIONS! NOTHING HAPPENS BY CHANCE OR COINCIDENCE! Lonliness is a beast! I believe, deep down, we know when a person doesn't fit in our life, but for reasons of our own, we are holding on to them & hoping for the best! let's let the motives! If someone does not fit in your life...not supportive or understanding of your destiny, then why are they a part of your life? With their lips they say what they can to try to be a team player, but their actions show you something totally different! You can't force a person to understand your destiny or to fit into your life any more than you can force them to change! It's inevitable, eventually you'll either damage or be damaged; you'll either join forces or bump heads; you'll either be helped or hindered! Sometimes, they don't mean to harm you, its just that they honestly can not fathom what God is doing in your life! Especially if they are used to a common & mediocre life where everybody is doing the same old thing! Some will grow from your exposure to the light, but unfortunately, some will not! Their minds won't allow them to. That's a good to say, "its best to just part for the sake of peace"! There's nothing like peace of mind! Reassure them that its not that you think you are better than anyone else, its just that you chose to live for God who has destined you for greatness! There is nothing wrong with you wanting to live your best life for God! Please don't settle for less than God's best for your life! When we do that, we block all the avenues for those who are really supposed to be in our circle of trust! Clear the way for them!

ITS GREAT TO BE FREE, FREE TO BE ME!!!
