Are You Comfortable? Repost

Hello Strong Men & Women,

Do you feel quite content with where you are, but still have a dream?  How can that be you ask?  Well, it can  happen by feeling that you have done pretty good for yourself, a decent job, financially fit and just satisfied.  Then, you look at your dream and determine, it does not seem attainable, but that is no big deal, because........you are comfortable, no real complaints right?

Comfort does not necessarily equal true fulfillment, until you pursue your dreams and make them happen, you should not lay back in your easy chair.  There is more life to be had.  When we see dreams as being unattainable, that is when negative thoughts begin to tell you, "look at that dream, it is too far for you to reach," "You need to be satisfied with what you have accomplished, not many have done what you have done, stop trying to be so happy."  Have you heard this one, "Why put yourself through the pressures of going after that dream, it is not worth facing its' challenges, you are afraid anyway?" All of this is just mental noise and has nothing to do with anything until, you listen to it.

Get out of being comfortable, step out of your comfort zone and start getting in motion.  It does not have to be a quick motion.  It is like riding a bike, the gears have to get in alignment, you have to repeatedly peddle for a nice smooth ride, but to get to that point, you start out with a slow peddling motion, you have to hold on to the handle bars to really get some momentum, but if you just stay in motion, keep peddling......guess what, it begins to happen, it gets easier and now you can ride with no hands.  Hills maybe in the path, but, if you keep peddling, you will make it to the top, because you stayed in motion.  As fun as biking is, it is not always easy, it takes effort, safety gear, which for us, is ...prayer.  However, along the way, you will see beautiful scenes, you may meet others who share your ambitions, there will be nice smooth surfaces.  It will not happen if you do not try and to your surprise, you might become uncomfortable.

My message is, do not consider comfortable as where you should be.  If you do not have dreams and are truly satisfied, then, be comfortable.  This does not pertain to you.  But, if you have this burning desire that just will not leave you alone, then you need to get in motion and stay in motion.  Do not stop because of negative thoughts or even negative comments from others.  This has always been my feeling, those that do not support my dreams did not make me.  He who crafted and created me and wired me a certain way has given me this dream, ultimately, the dream is actually my purpose.  So, my dream constantly nudges me and keeps me in motion.  I am going to keep peddling until I get there.  So, for you, please keep peddling too:)

You Say That You Want It......What Are You Doing To Get It?

Hello Everyone,

You have dreamed and been real hungry to be who you want to be.  What have you done to get there or shall I say what have we done to get there?  I am in that boat with you.  So what are we going to do to get it, to become that person that we know we should be?  Dreaming about it will not bring it to fruition, we must move in the direction of accomplishment through believing. Sometimes, we are faced with trials and it seems like a huge obstacle, but we must use it to step up from where we are.  We can only get stronger.  Even in a trial, keep moving, push, crawl, take baby steps, but keep moving.

WE CAN DO THIS, WE CAN BE WHAT WE WANT, WE CAN DESIGN OUR DESTINY BECAUSE WE HAVE GREATNESS WITHIN US.

If we can say this and believe it we can be it.  Believe in you everyday, every moment, every second, believe in you.  Let us begin this journey and claim our futures.

You Can Get Through It

Hello Everyone,

Last evening I was watching a gospel choir competition and their was a judge named Fred Hammond and he said something that was so profound, he said, "If you fall, praise Him from the floor."  That is such a wonderful thing about the Lord, we can praise Him from where we are, and He will meet us there.  So, if we fall, He will be right there to help us and comfort us, but we have got to praise Him.  We are never so unworthy that we can not talk to Him and share what we are going through.  However, the key is to just say something to Him, even if it is just His name.

You can get through your trials and tribulations.  They may seem so final and the damage may seem permanent, but not so, when it comes to faith in what God can do.  There is no problem so big, but, we have to believe that He will do all that He said.  Here is what I have found, there is a way that we process and assess our circumstance, then, we decide that it needs to be handled a certain way, by a certain time.  So, we zoom in on the outcome that we want.  What about the outcome that God wants for us.  We just have to learn to pray and praise through the fire, pray and praise through the storm, pray and praise through the tears, pray and praise from the floor. Sometimes, we can stand right in the way and cause a real mess, when all that has to be done is to step aside and let God abide.  He will not fail us, but patience is what we must have.  Our time has nothing to do with Him, because His time is right and far exceeds any plan we have.  If we just resign ourselves to trust and let Him work and stop running interference, I will get through and you will get through every trial.  It is not easy to get through trials, they are painful and worrisome, but God will show us just how wonderful and great He is.

You can get through it, whatever it is, just find a way to pray and praise from right where you are. He hears what you don't say.

I Became

Hello Everyone,

I am posting a poem that I composed.  I hope that you enjoy.

I Became

A quiet wish upon a twinkling star

In the night sky

Night dreams of day dreams parading by 

The softness of a whisper

I wish one by one

I want to reach out

Touching the heart of someone

Provide shade for a woman with child

Waiting in the noonday sun

I want to be a voice in a mind

With no sense of hope

 Outreach, compassion, courage to cope

Self expression through art

An oil painting of my heart

The light began to shine

 Through the window to my face

 I heard a gentle voice  

“In this world you have a place”

I can stand and say

I am that person I wished to be

I am the greatness that I call me

I am the one who goes by my name

I am the dream

 “I became” 

A Tribute to Self-Worth
