Blocked On Purpose


When God puts up some road blocks in your life, don't look at it no other way than your protection. Why? Because we as humans want to be connected and rightly we should be, but the thing is not everyone is qualified to be connected to you and you are NOT meant to be connected to just anything or anyone. Not everyone has the capacity to truly see who you really are and your God given gift. Instead, see it as God aligning you upwards for a purpose greater than what you can see, think, or even imagine. Remember, you are His light for those who WANT to see His purpose. There is someone watching and waiting for you to glow.

There was a time in my life where I wanted and hungered to be connected to everyone that I came in contact with. I wanted everyone to see, know, and trust that I was for them and not against them. I wanted friendships to last forever and when that didn't happen, I was devastated. I remember a connection I had with a sister. I was for her as a friend. I was loyal. Until one day a serious and violent situation took place and because I knew all parties involved, I was blamed. I cried. I held onto that abandonment for a few years. This hurt me to my core and needless to say, we were never able to reconcile.I knew the Lord and I knew His word, but at that time in my life I was not applying His word. But, God and His infinite wisdom knew who and what He was going to allow me to access, or not, and who He was going to allow access, or not.

After much reflection and a few hard knock lessons I started clearly analyzing and realizing this one fact, seasons do change and so do those connections that are not a part of God's plan for our lives. I started accepting responsibility for my false ideas of friendship and love for others. I accepted responsibility for allowing myself to give more than I received. I no longer have unrealistic expectatations when it comes to anyone or anything. I no longer place a period on any chance encounter or opportunity. I have learned this valuable lesson as well; everyones capacity to be authentic and genuine is not the same. We all have been hurt, broken, abused, and mishandled, and until we get very clear about who we are and most importantly Who's we are, the play of emotional hurt and generational sabatauge will continue.

My brothers and sisters, we are at the end of 2017, what have you learned? What life lessons have you passed with rainbow colors? What have you been blocked from and do you know why? What positive life lessons do you see yourself repeating and carrying into the new year ahead? I personally no longer make new year resolutions, I prefer to set clear goals. Why? Because we don't keep resolutions, but when you set a goal and you are passionate about that goal, there is a hunger and a greater chance that you will accomplish that goal.

Make no mistake about It, God WILL perfect His purpose one road block at a time. GET ready for the ride.

Be Blessed

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...
