Just Get Off Of The Battlefield Please
Hello my strong Men and Women - my Winners,
My last post was in November, as a blogger, who blogs weekly, I find that it is not the easiest thing to do. With the holidays approaching business became busy. I will not complain about that, but, I needed to carve out time to get back to my blog. So, here we go........
I want to inspire you with this post encouraging you to learn to move out of ,not just your own way, but, move out of God's way. Stop trying to be the player and the coach. We as humans, run out of energy trying to figure out everything to every situation. We can't, I know, their is no such thing as the word "can't," but, we can't. We are not able to see into the future that way or make the impossible possible. Only our Father in His Great Heaven can do that. Life is no joy ride and many tears we will cry on the journey through it. However, those bumps in the road are often times, created by us. We get in the way and cause hardship on ourselves. When I was going through a rough time in my life.
I remember being in my parent's kitchen and my Dad looked at me and said, "Ree, why do you ask God to fght your battles, but, you stay on the battlefield, get off the battlefield and out of His way, so, He can do what you asked Him to do; get off the field." I looked at my Dad and he simply said in his loving voice, "Stop trying to do it yourself, you can't figure it all out, it's too much stress; God, on the other hand can fix it all." I felt a sense of surrender, in my chest, as if for the first time in a long time I could inhale. Have you noticed when you are going through something and you finally get some relief, you feel like you have been holding your breath for a longtime? That is how I felt. I am realizing that many of my posts will probaby reference my Dad and the things he said to me. I have always referenced his words to family and friends, but, I think more so now that I lost him. He left this year and his lessons stick right with me; if they help you, I am more than happy to share.
There is no book that touches on every part of life and how to live through your downs and how to find your way up. Authors write books on specific topic to help the reader meet a need and achieve a goal. There is one book however, that covers everything. The answer to any question is in it. That book is the Bible. If you are wondering how to get off the battlefield and let God fight your battle, look to your bible for guidance and strength to just pray and be still. We are so use to being reactive but, it is not always best. Of course, if there is a report of a hurricane getting ready to make landfall in your city and the weather reporter says, leave your home, head to safety in the next state, you will do that. However, if a hurricane comes into your life do you really need to scramble and run to and fro trying to stop the hurricane? No, because that is not possible. I am referencing my Dad again, he would tell me to find the eye of the hurricane, where the stillness is and just sit right there. He said that you are going to see all types of debris, maybe even animals being tossed about, but, you stay right in that eye, where there is calm, stay right there until the storm is over. So, my strong men and women, my winners, prayer and believing is our eye of the storm. It will your peace in the time of trouble. But, look at this, if you decide that the battlefield is where you belong and you have to challenge and tackle the situation and fight it yourself, the hurricane may cause injuries that would not have otherwise happened. We have to just know that God will come through. He will not allow anything or anyone to destroy you. But, don't try to hurry Him by running on the field, because, you think that you can help Him. As someone special to me always says, "one thing for certain, two things for sure......." So, I say, one thing for certain, two things for sure, God does not need our help to do anything. The only thing that He ask of us is to believe. So, if you can just sit down in the eye of that storm and keep still and believe, you will see God's greatness and how He works things out for your good.
I dedicate this video to you

When Someone Hurts You And You Need Peace Of Mind
Hello Strong Men & Women,
It seems that I have been having conversations with so many hurt or simply unhappy people lately. I feel compelled to blog on the subject. You know, I see hurt as something felt in a place that is considered indescribable and unreachable. Hurt can take one to a place of surrender, wherein, you give in to what you have been fighting against. For example, someone may be determined not to be emotionally affected by someone close to them that puts them down, but the day comes when everything makes for the perfect storm, that person's mood, the fact that they have begun to be affected by the person, even fatigue sets in and it happens, the melt down, when all emotions are on the loose and the pressure cooker explodes.
I had various conversations with individuals that touched on reasons why they feel hurt or unhappy. So, I am thinking, what can I say to ease their hurt or unhappiness, but it is good to listen at times, and say nothing other than a prayer in your heart. I am not an expert who can say do this and you will be rid of all hurt and unhappiness. But, I do know from experience that prayer and actively working on becoming strong is vital in healing. Sometimes, the people that we let into our lives do not have overall good intentions and do not reciprocate your kindness, real sense of friendship and genuine compassion for them. In some cases, there are relationships and friendships that are broken because one hurt the other.
I could go through many situations where people become hurt and unhappy. I will add that decisions we make are not always good ones and therefore, we somewhat dig our own ditch. But, what I want to do is encourage anyone reading this who is hurt and just can not figure out why this happened. First, I say, for every moment that you want to play back what happened, don't, pray instead, give yourself room to feel the sadness that it brings then be thankful for the revelation. Sometimes, when we see things after the fact, we get upset, which is human, but be thankful too that you know what you did not before. Second, I want to say, do not place blame on you for not seeing or maybe you did and decided to ignore signs. All you can do from here is take in the lesson and apply it to your future. Give yourself credit for even feeling hurt. Some people just are cold and care very little. Just to have feelings that are real and can be extended to another is in its own way a blessing. If you are caring and loving, remain that way. Do not become bitter and begin to build the highest emotional wall ever, just be thankful for the heart that you have to be kind, gentle, thoughtful, understanding and good, by no means does this make you gullible. It makes you human, living in God's light.
There is a video that I watched awhile ago and I heard the song sung by a different artist. The song is titled "Peace of Mind" sung by Lauryn Hill. During the time that she sung this song she was hurt and in tremendous pain over a breakup, the song gave her an outlet. Never feel that you can not recover from pain and unhappiness. It is a part of life's lessons and we have to learn to grow from them and be encouraged to move passed them. You can recover, you can find happiness, you can heal, you can find peace of mind. I have my own story too, so, I understand your hurt. Just never doubt God's power to heal your hurt. Let Him Be Your Peace Of Mind.

When You Don't Feel Ready For Change
Hello Strong Men & Women,
There comes a time in life when change is inevitable, but, we are just not ready. The part of us that is not ready, is uncomfortable and can not see all that change will bring. However, if it is for the better of your health, sanity or spiritual well being, then guess what, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Many times, we become complacent in pain, misery, grief or meritocracy and there is no real vision or perception of change, it is too unfamiliar. Complacency steals time, joy and dreams. We are made to fulfill purpose in life, God does not want us to not live our purpose, nor does He want us to stay stuck in any situation.
Change can be shockingly painful, because, we realize that we may have to leave others behind that pull us down, let go of negative situations in our lives, give God control and do as He says and at times, it can really hurt. However, it is what is best, if we truly want to be happy.
Change for the better can only make you better. There is nothing that God can not do, so you know that He can step right in the middle of your situation and pull you to the top. We only get (1) life and it is not for others to destroy, but for us to live and live it to the best of our ability. We can not control others, but we can be in control of us. We know in our hearts what is going to improve our life, it is the sigh of not wanting this to be our reality, but most times, it is. Therefore, if we choose not to change, the situation will only stay the same or worsen. My advice to you is to pray, tell God your fears, but also, give Him your trust.
You will be o.k. You may not be ready for change, change is ready for you.
I hope the song below inspires you.
