Hello world,
Today I was encouraged to write! This time of year is always a special one, laughter, love giving, what more can you ask for? Well this year is a little different, having lost a loving aunt, relationship not going the way I would have wanted and out growing friends it would be easy for me to slip into the holiday blues, BUT, even still I recognize fully how blessed I am!
It’s amazing how we go through things and we can’t for the life of us figure out what God is doing in our lives until one day you sit and you think, if God would have allowed me to stay in the same position that I was in before where would I be now. SCARY THOUGHT! I love how the Lord will open your eyes to things that have been sitting in front of you the entire time, and that vision is more powerful than you could ever imagine.
**side note** This is something I’m working on more and more each day! People don’t do things out of anger! Nothing you do to cause arm or anguish intentionally or not will ever grow! If it’s not to encourage growth and development in a person why are you wasting your life? There are no refunds on time! Forgive me if I've done this to you.
Ok so yea where was I? Oh yea vision, have you ever noticed that the sun seems a lil bit brighter after it’s been cloudy for a while? I thank the Lord that he's allowed me to see my future and where He's taking me a lil more clearer, and even more I love that he won’t let anyone even ME get in the way for His plan for my life!
I too am grateful for the people I have in my network, like minded people with the common goal to love hard, do right by people and better their future by bettering themselves! A lot of the people that have been escorted out of my life were made to leave because there was no fire in the system! What makes you happy, what gets you up out of bed every day to stay on your grind? How are you being a blessing to someone? Each of my friends is living their lives in a way that encourages me to do better! Not saying they're perfect but they are walking perfectly to an imperfect beat! Love that we can go from talking about what song we like to talking about what going on in the world! Broaden your scope people. Also, chose happiness! Life is for the living, if you don’t find joy in something in ur life u need to go back to the drawing board!
**side note** Joy, joy isn't living in a perfect situation but knowing that despite your situation we know and understand we serve a perfect God who will guide us through the dark and stormy nights! Not the absence of trouble, the recognition that there are better things to think on and be consumed with than your troubles!
Any who, yesterday in church I was reminded to always be expecting your miracle, I think we sometimes will pray for something and we halfway rest on faith! It’s like we have one foot standing on the water and the other still on the boat afraid to step out! We must remember that we serve a God who works in miracles, signs and wonders! This is what He does! How insulted would you be if you were at work and someone didn't trust your ability to do the job you've been hired to do?
Ok I think my tangent is done for the moment lol
Oh one last thing! SPEAK IT! The power over life and death lies in your tongue! Encourage yourself! Don’t depend on man to do it, man will always fail you! And yes God knows your innermost thoughts but sometimes you should speak you thanks!
Peace Prosperity & Passion
Such a touching entry w. VERY wise words,some of the most that I've heard in a long time. You should write more often...DEFINITELY. You said SO many things that I'm going to write down & read daily. I recently had my personal revelation of visions of happiness, ironically but not coincidentally on Jan.1, 2010 (right on time lol!) & now I myself am expecting my miracles! 2K9 was a ROUGH year, to say the least. I recently lost my father to the prison system, relationships have not gone well for me for the past few years, and I'm also outgrowing my friends, so ur entry truly touched me! These things have been VERY hard on me...I constantly battle overwhelming sadness.
ReplyDeleteBUT call me Rihanna, cuz I'm SO HARD, lol..I'm just TOO resilient, the Devil tries but he can't seem to get me!LOL!
I too have noticed that the sun seems a lil bit brighter, that some ppl just aren't built w.that fire in their systems(followers most of the time,not LEADERS). & yes it is SO important to surround urself w. 'imperfect positive ppl walking perfectly to a perfect beat'..AMEN!

My best friend had a book in college called the power of a praying woman..and it touched on exactly ur final thoughts...speaking your goals, wants, positivity into existence. Oprah said this is a main factor in her success & it really works. I set a goal this year to twitter a positive affirmation for myself EVERYDAY so I can read it to myself, speak it out loud, and go back to twitter to visibly see it for reference thruout the day!
Anyhoo, I'm sure this is the longest comment you've ever recv'd...LOL...but I encourage you to keep blogging, I'll DEFINITELY be coming back to hear what you have to say.
Have a blessed, happy, & profitable new year!
