Remaining Centered In The Midst of Storms

Just take a look at the photo
So dramatic, right?!

Lighting flashes
Danger Arises
Centered Path
The road is perfectly paved out for you to walk

Just the unsettling thoughts and knowledge that storms are brewing and coming from all over the place

Add to that...

That you have no knowledge for when the storms shall end
All that is seen....
Is storm after storm brewing or soon coming
Even the clouds give way to suggest a possible harm
Even the surroundings look grim and seems as if there is no light around

But if we pause and calm for a minute

We will also be able to listen for Divine Instructions

It is Manna for you

Food for your soul

Instructions so you may have guidance and peace within your soul

In relation to your road

Not another can be able to complete or even thoroughly understand what is meant for you

It's for your soul sake

Your survival

Your wellbeing

So although it may appear like disaster 

The Word imparted to you is what shall really preserve you and is what ultimately  matters

A Stamped  promise on your road

Your revelations given indicates- GOD Is With You

Right there!

Even if a storm comes and another one brews from almost out of nowhere

HIS word is the anchor of your soul

When traveling from faith to faith

There will be obstacles we must certainly face

Testings and Trials

Development and Wisdom

Courage and Faith

I even like how the picture still shows our paved out road that we forever take

We walking with Christ!!

And even when we can't see straight, to the left or to the right

Let your previous victory's serve as a sign

Let HIS instructions that HE gives you serve as a indication that- HE Is WITH You!!

Afterall, we are more than conquerors

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If GOD is for us, who can be against us?

Like really- think on that for a few. What is an enemy in a camp where the ALMIGHTY rests? Just a test to see in whom you hope and continuously believe.

Psalms 16:10

HE will not let HIS faithful ones see the day of decay

And in regards to trials and temptations- 

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James1:2-4

Let these words encourage your soul and be reminded of Joseph and Job. Two faithful men who had to bear up and walk out their own turbulent roads but at the end...you noticed. ..they win!

We Walking 💪

Because Turning Back Is Never An Option!

On The Path

On the path

There are storms, conflicts and evils

Some breeded on command

Some indebted in the hearts of men

Some just has to happen

Preparation for future wise encounters- I say!

Preparation to ensure proper direction

For one who has stayed in the home of trouble

They reach towards a home of peace

If in fact that soul can now discover and see

True life and appreciate his own soul, progression and being

One who has thrived in pain

Soon comes to a valley of beauty

They vow to never partake in unnecessary conflicts again

One who has slept in distress

Soon travels to locations free of mess

They ate from that tree to now know accurately that their lives cannot continue that path

They rather pursue good and noble purposes

So soul, mind and heart can last

So we gather

That every one of our present and future encounters

Is merely building and defining the further beauty and character of mankind

Just takes the reserve and will to decide on which roads

Not many shall discover

but we know

That since life began

fools have always perished

From not carefully following pure and wellfull instructions

Generations often repeat defeat

Cycles turn and may very well pursue you

I've discovered

It takes a forever learning and moldable being

One walking aligned with Christ

To decide to learn enough to then do differently

May each of our paths provide us happiness, joy, peace and wellness

I am my brother and sisters keeper

Peace. Love. Live. Learn

Time for Change- or- Is It Pain?

Well check out the graphic picture I discovered on Instagram again. Another gem! It was on a friend's page. Maybe he made it or maybe he didn't but the words spoke volumes.

Too loud to ignore. Too loud not to reply a comment on his photo. Too loud not to share the process also.

Each new level will require a new you!!!

Just reread that for a minute!

Absolute truth. But here is another truth that wasn't shared. That process will cause pain. It's pain involved whenever growth comes.

Remember your child teething or maybe you witnessed a small baby in the process of teething. They were enduring pain to have a few teeth finally sproat up. No method could prevent it all we could do was ease it temporarily.  You know teething rings, Orajel and the like.

And It Rings- All change will require pain!

Each new level will require a new you!!!

Remember child birth? Or maybe you witnessed or saw a video relating to childbirth. Birthing something required pain. New Life required pain. New beginnings require change. And changing definitely feels like pain.

But just like that baby who was cutting its early signs of teeth- new beginnings came. Such a new beginning that no more milk substance was needed. Time for the big boy or big girl league now.

Such a new beginning and change that solid food was now the proper food to give unto that child. No more mashed potatoes- some meaty substance was now a need.

Such a change where even their diets changed. Speech came. More developed practices ensued. Habits practiced. From laying to crawling to all of a sudden one day walking!!

So indeed, as we just studied up close- the pain is just a momentarily suffering that for surely cannot compare to the later and more everlasting glory.

It's just a thing that we must go through but good news is after the pain.....

Here Comes The New!!!

Every New Level Will Require A Different You- and let's not forget....

Every different you involves change and every change carries with it a little discomfort or pain!

But Beauty and New Awaits so Let's Continue!!

Remember In your struggle against sin, you have yet to resist in the shedding of your own blood. Hebrews 12:4

HE Speaks- Trust The Process

So while strolling through my old and ancient Instagram, I noticed this old post. At 1st glance I laughed. I made this while I was stuck at the auto mechanics for hours.

When I say hours, I mean a whole 8 hour shift!! I wanted to leave desperately.  I just wanted the mechanic to hurry and do a quick fix.  Just let me come back another day- I even requested of him.

To no avail !!! He wasn't hearing of it. So in my frustrations and in my attempt to make light of this ordeal- along came this joke.

As I reread it today though- the words then had a deeper meaning. A more spiritual meaning.  A meaning relevant for both you and me while we are walking and carrying on in life and business.

You know them times where GOD places us in sheltered protection?
Sheltered development?  Hidden almost from the world? Just resting and regaining our strength back moments? Or just sitting quietly resting before HIM?

You also know that after awhile of waiting on GOD , we also get a little impatient. We drastically and desperately just want to move from one location to the next. Go from one area to the next. Maybe leaving pain to go to joy. Maybe leaving our homes to get to a bigger and better one. Maybe one church to another. Maybe leave one job to gain another.

We all have different needs and things. But check out the message!!

Just as that mechanic said to me on that day- Not until everything is in working order. Not until the process is complete. Not until everything that needs to be done is done. Not until everything is worked out.  Not until I let you know it is time!!!

Wisdom SPEAKS!

So although we may be stuck or rather feel like we are in one phase of life wayyyyyy too long- trust the process! Trust the mechanical process involved. Trust that everything spoken over your life- shall and will come to pass.

So exhale time now- you in that season for a reason. No more fighting your way out. You can't cry or complain your way out.  Nope, you can't talk your way out of this one!

But guess what you can do - Let Go and Let GOD! And "learn" to trust the process. One Day At A Time.

Live.Love.Learn.
