Jump And Fly

Walking on the bridge to get to that spot. You see how high it is but your ready, so you tell yourself. Sweat dripping down your face, you are wondering if you have lost what's left of your mind. Your friends cheer you on shouting you can do it. You ask yourself are they really my friend?  You are not so sure about anything. because you have made many bad choices in the past that have resulted in failure. You have shouted to yourself that you will or won't do this or that. Sound familiar?

Now your on that iron bridge ready to take the leap of faith to your possible death that is, if that cord snaps. That cord is buckled to the rail and to your ankles. You have put all of your faith in that little buckle. Your ready. You jump.

That is faith in knowing. You sit in a chair without thought. It holds you. You get in your car ready to get to your destination, it takes you. Working faith is the same way. You seek the unknown knowing you will achieve it. Our faith wavers in sheer uncertainty. But trusting in God is sure and swift. He will carry you, hold you up but the thing is, you don't physically see Him doing it. That's the faith believing in a thing hoped for. Its time. Time take that leap of faith and let God do the rest. His word says, I have gone to prepare a place for you.  He knows you will come. Faith.

My encouragement for you today is to step. Step out on that mustard size faith and live your best life. You have the power to see it now go and achieve it. Moses led without knowing. Obedience and faith. Noah built the Ark, without water. Obedience and faith.  Abraham left to go into a land he was not aware of, he was told to go. Lets not forget his son whom he was going to sacrifice. Get my point.

If they can so can you. Jump and fly

Celebration Of Life

Looking back over my life I can honestly say I did good shoot, I did better than good. Loosing my mother at 16 and me being a teenage mother I didn't crumble, crash and burn. Oh I did a zig when I should have made that zag. I believed too many lies and did not pay attention to the sirens warning me to run for the hills. I have made plenty of mistakes and many I wish I could go back and reverse, but God knew the plans he had for me because His word says that our steps are ordered. I have learned a lot about the psychological makeup of people including myself and that is why nothing surprises me anymore. I am not easily tricked up even though I may act like I don't see it, I do. I expect nothing and appreciate everything. Though I may be different, I celebrate my different because it and God has saved my life.  Bad choices and learned lessons. At 52 there are things that no longer matter as they did when I was young and impressionable. Looking back, all I can say is tha...

I Won't Complain

After a few work days of buses not showing up for their scheduled stops, me getting home close to 2 hours later than normal,  and no good sleep I'm reminded still, how good God is. Even the periodic snaps of depression and anxiety haven't caused me to forget how good God is. The key is encouraging myself because all storms pass. It amazes me to see so many people unaware of the true effects of mental illness. They tell you, get over it. They are the ones who have no debilitating physical or educational knowledge of the struggles. They don't understand the fight everyday to remain in a visual normal state of mind with tending to the tasks requiring your presence. They can't understand why you cry for no apparent reason. Unaware that some wish to lay down at any given time to sleep hoping to never awake again. Unaware that at any moment a fuse can blow in ones mind and all hell can be unleashed. Unaware that they may see beauty or bronze, while a depressive is seeing...

Stop Hiding Your Flaws part 2

In my last post, I talked about our flaws and why we shouldn't hide them. When I say flaw, I do not mean to insinuate worthlessness. No, I am pointing out that what others may see as a flaw, God created as a masterpiece, unique and particular. Yes, everything about you is unique and that is why I express the importance of not hiding. The definition of a flaw: a mark, fault, or other imperfection that mars a substance or object. Our lives are filled with many flaws. Unable to give birth,  unable to read or write, unable to drive a motor vehicle.  Deeper flaws of the physical and emotional are disfigurement,  physical disability,  missing limbs., mental illness.  These are all unique. Why do I say unique?  Because each of the above mentioned is an open door to revealing much more than the flaw itself. It is an opportunity to share and enlighten someone who needs to hear your story and see the winner before them. Courageous. Not defeated or defective...
