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!

With Scars Present

With Scars

He committed to continue his path

With rips present to skin

He vowed to finish in a glorious win

With scraped up knees

The warrior then decided

He would become Strength

He willed to win!

One day at a time

One battle at a time

One problem at a time

And even when the will weakens

He presents thoughts to help him not cave in

No matter the battle

No matter the time

No matter the circumstance

He vowed to make it out

Well, healthy and alive

Much to do and see

Even if that was a day of complete freedom

To think

Others have endured quite worse

Had endured scars that never depart

Wounds that cut much deeper than his

So he meditated to mind

Strength, Courage and Hope was all he had to be

Everyday

One day at a time

Until his moment of victory and shine

HE is...

Saw this picture with its vibrant colors and thought... Yes, this is nice! Later came exactly what my mind would think of for what I wanted to express.

Each color represents so many dimensions in life.  From pain, courage, hope, faith, love, learning, growing,  forgiving...etc. I will just stop there because truly the list can go on for days.

And then I thought about how GOD shapes all those colors together for HIS purpose in mind. HE brings us from the negative zone into the correct and positive zone.

HE brings us from our act of forgiving others-  gifts of beauty. Our gifts become a perfect and moldable heart that HE can use and do beautiful things to. And who knew, it even includes our healing.

Our pain, HE turns into victory.  We hand HIM pain in the form of our prayers and releasing all our heart to HIM over that thing and Bang! Suddenly comes a day where for our pain- HE hands us beauty. That beauty comes in so many different forms. Lessons learned, wisdom, change, hope and sometimes HE even has a few folks pay dearly for their wickedness committed on us.
There's beauty- vindication but from the LORD's hands. And the greatest thing is sometimes we can help another out who is experiencing similar on their road.

I could go on for days off of the many things that HE does but check out the picture once more!!

Once all the colors blend...it forms a rainbow of colors.  And I don't know about you but rainbows signify promises!!!

So there! HE creating something.  HE up to something.  HE forming something. And best believe when HE is done....possibly our promises given comes!

I love it ! 💫

Another Instagram Photo

Well, here is another Instagram photo I saw. It grabbed my attention instantly.

It displays hope in my mind. Ready and prepared to conquer a day. Eagerness. Determination. Victory even.

It says despite all we been through we can still stand. Still be great.  Still be able to climb all those steps of life and actually still stand at the top to declare- After all I went through I am here and standing.

Thank GOD!

Sometimes The Colors Will Be Mixed

Well ...
I know you have gotten quite adjusted to the positive posts- not saying that this will not be because of course it will.

But often I try not to make mention of problems or issues. But sometimes we must speak up.

And sometimes there really are issues deserving of our attention.
Like do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good!!

A few months back- I needed these words. This life giving script. Surely,  I was about to slip. Devastation seemed to rule. War was breaking out in my own little life. Peace was at a stand still. You ever been there??

Feelings of being used and abused. Feelings that too many folks have done wrong to you. Feelings that you forgave and now moved on but people, people, people....I mean Come On!!! 😔

Have you been there before?

I am sure you have. Just as I was there a few months ago too- The Bible had the opportunity to pull me in for a finetuning.

And that finetuning came at the very precise time needed.

Romans 12:21

Do not be overcome (defeated, overtaken, ruled,  laid waste, destroyed, conquered ) by evil but overcome evil with good (purity, righteous, satisfactory in quality, )

When you examine the words in that way it sure showed me things. Will I allow wrong doings to conquer me in my life?

Will I allow evil motives and plots of others lay me to waste?

Will I allow another person to defeat me and rule over me with my conduct or actions?

We reread the word this way...I am sure you would also say No! I can't allow people or things destroy me. And when we make our minds up to not change who we are as a result of others...

We Win!!!!

No matter what anyone else thinks we win ! Our minds have accepted and conformed to the higher road! And that higher road always leads towards higher paths of greatness. And no insult now should make us trade in our ordered paths to Victory!!!

Sometimes the colors won't be yellow it could very well be an accumulation of mixed colors. Colors of green, red, blue (turmoil,  problems, pain) but as long as we remain on script. ..We Win!

Besides who defeats anyone who stands and walks with GOD! No enemy wins in the camp where the ALMIGHTY Rests!
