Being a Survivor

Leave a reply

Being a survivor is far more than meets the eye.

It is a major event in peoples lives. For some, it is surviving tragic events, cancer, other illnesses, or the loss of loved ones. For others, it is surviving struggles with physical, mental and emotional impairments. Then there are those that are surviving daily challenges in life such as unemployment, loss of income or barely making it, having a place to live, taking care of and feeding a family, staying healthy and surviving what the world throws at them.

Surviving is deep-seated in each person that takes a lot of effort, willpower, fear, desire, strength that you did not know that you even had, and a willingness to face and overcome something that is far bigger than you.

Being a survivor is much more than winning; it is the beginning of a new journey in your life. It changes your life forever and opens your mind, heart and spirit to the blessings in life that we take for granted everyday and a side of yourself that you may not even realize existed. It humbles you, teaches you lessons, and makes you stronger than you have ever been. Own it! You deserve it!

Being a survivor is one of the greatest blessings and gifts that is given to us.

Isaiah 26:3 NIV
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Be The Sticky Note

Be The Sticky Note

Be the sticky note of life. Sticky notes are wonderful for keeping up with things, reminders, taking notes, and various other uses.

The best use of them is leaving little notes to friends, family, loved ones, co-workers, and strangers. Little love notes, words of encouragement, positive thoughts, bible verses, drawings like a smiley face, a kiss, something silly, or anything to brighten one’s day.

Leaving a sticky note in places, on the refrigerator, bathroom mirror, lunchboxes, backpacks, etc. is a great way to show someone that you care and miss them, or in places that strangers may find them so that it may bring joy to someones life.

Most do not walk around with a sticky note on their person, but being the sticky note adds a whole new level and is very personable.

Everything that you would write down, you can convey in person, by voice, with a smile, sign language and by acts of kindness, along with a gentle soothing word that can change the mindset and attitude of a person and make their day a happy one.

Be the sticky note and change a life and yours today.

Romans 12:10 NIV
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Your “But” is a road block

Your “But” is a roadblock

Your “But” is a roadblock that usually gets in the way. It pops up when you feel lazy, intimidated, scared, anxious, overwhelmed, having a lack of confidence, or when you are stepping out of your comfort zone. It is a quick response or an excuse to avoid doing something that we don’t want to do.

It rises quickly and stays, seating roots that make it hard to get rid of and then at times consuming you so much that it can create self-doubt, negative feelings, resentful emotions, anger and even depression.

Recognizing it quickly and taking a positive stance against it before it reigns is the key. Seeking help from a professional or from a friend for strength and comfort can be the change you need. Knowing the signs before it is upon you and standing your ground against it in the beginning is a win.

There is power within each and every one if you only dig deep and be humble enough to seek help when we need it. Don’t let pride stand in the way, causing you to battle it alone.

Be strong, fight the fight, never give in and, “Get your But out of your way” and you will have victory over Darkness.

Being my brother’s or sister’s keeper

Being my brother’s or sister’s keeper

What does it mean to be your brother’s or sister’s keeper?

It is about having someone’s back, caring for them, supporting them in the struggles, not judging them, but loving them, keeping their secrets safe, and relying on each other to make it through the struggles in the day to day life.

…Taking the time to listen to them and understanding where they come from, walking beside then in the good times and the bad, and holding each other acountable.

…Lifting each other up and praising them in the good, crying with them in the bad, and standing tall beside them through it all.

…Being there for them through thick and thin and never letting them go, no matter what.

Being your brother’s or sisters’s keeper means to give yourself selflessly to them, in order to help lift their lives up without thought, recognition, or ulterior motives, but strictly out of the love and caring for one another.

Proverbs 27:17 NIV
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

Desire

Desire is created in the mind, grown within the heart, and fueled by the soul. It drives us to chase our dreams, challenge our limits, expand our capabilities, and grow from within.
Desire can provide direction, paving the path to motivation, determination, a mental positive attitude, preserverance and the blessings of success.

Surrender

Leave a reply

Our shoulders are broad and we feel we can carry the weight of the world upon them. Yet in our darkest hour, in the midst of the storm, our knees crumble, and we discover our inner weakness. Our true strength comes when we surrender, trust, have faith, find comfort, and experience God’s peace.

Healing and comfort

Leave a reply

Comfort comes when the healing begins.

There are many types of healing: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, the daily trials of life, emotional setbacks, unpleasant memories of the past and present, burdens and loads placed upon us, and losses and tragedies of loved ones. In these unstable times, it is important to recognize that we need to surrender and ask for help, by seeking comfort and peace from another source and from deep inside of us. Dealing with unpleasant tragedies and early losses helps us to overcome the ones that will come later. How we handle finding peace and comfort through it all, is what will allow us to heal. Seeking professional or spiritual help to find peace and comfort in a difficult time will allow the healing to begin. Trusting in your faith, your beliefs, and your inner soul will bring comfort to a weary heart and brokenness inside.

Humility- Letting go

A humbled spirit will provide growth, peace, and acceptance. Letting go of our pride and allowing someone to help builds trust, molds us to, except our weakness, builds character to make us strong, provides comfort and peace. Faith brings new life.

Humility

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
