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.

Never Give Up On You

Hello everyone,

I want to encourage you to never give up on yourself.  God never gives up on us and is always in our corner wanting us to see and use the gift that He placed in us.  We, however, must see it and begin to believe in ourselves.  We have so much to give that can make a difference in the lives of others.  We can not concern ourselves with critics, but must begin to share the good that is our gifts.

Believe and never give up on you

God Knows

Hello Everyone,

I want to impress upon you to never feel or think that you are invisible to God or that He can not hear your silent prayers.  He hears and sees you.  He just may not move at the pace we want, but it is out of love for us that He moves at His timing.  His timing is perfect.  So, with that said, here is a poem, I composed for you.

God Knows

You cry inside with tears on the rim of your eyes

You hide your scream in the wind, because you can no longer scream within

You wear a mask so no one will know, parading  an unauthentic smile so that your hurt will not show

He Knows

The leaves on the trees shake because they feel your fear

The wolves slowly creep, they smell you near

They smell your lack of hope, your weakening ability to cope,

they smell the emptiness of your soul, they plan for your fall while creeping low

God awaits to protect you, He already knows

There is no way that you can feel that God can not understand

No problem so big that He can not crush with His Hand

No sorrow so sad that He can not give His peace

No hurt so deep that He can not reach

No seed so small from which flowers can not grow

Nothing so secret that He will not know

God knows you and is always there,

He shows up in so many ways to show how  He cares

He blocks you from danger of which you may never be aware

 If you just have faith the size of a mustard seed

That is all He asks, is just for your belief

No matter what comes and no matter what goes

God is there in advance, because, He already knows

How To Believe

Hello Everyone,

Life is something that we can not predict it's every twist and turn, we hope, pray and anticipate.  This is where believing and faith comes into play.  We are not made to know everything, nor could we handle it if we did.  God knows how much we can bare and when we can bare it.  Thus, life happens.

So, how does one believe?  First, you must believe that God is almighty and that He keeps His word no mater what.  We, however, must trust Him and look to Him for help.  One believes by accepting the fact that God may not come when we want Him, but, He is always on time.  One believes by surrendering worries upon Him and trusting that He will come through.  One believes by letting God be there through it all and yield not to how one perceives things should be, but, look forward to God's results, which will far exceed anything one could ever imagine.

I have learned that God is a true friend and wonderful heavenly Father.  He makes His presence known, when we need His shoulder to lean upon, He will let us lean as long as we need.  Someone very near and dear to me once recited the Serenity Prayer to me, I am so thankful.  It helped me so much.  I would always reflect on the first part.  I would like to share the entire prayer with you.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
 Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

Believe that God will come through.

Hello Everyone,

I am so sorry for not being consistent, what I have been going through has taken a toll and my heart really wanted to write, but I just did not have the words.  I am on Facebook and it is easy to just post, but it takes energy and drive to write.  So, here I am again, but this time, I will write for now, at least once a week.  If I can help or encourage someone, I feel it in my heart to do that even in my storm.

So, to start here is a song of encouragement.  I have learned first hand, that faith is truly a walk of believing that God is there when you cry, smile or are just lost for words.  He just wants to help and give love to heal our hearts, but it is a matter of giving him the broken pieces.
