What are you waiting for? Change? It won’t happen if you’re doing the same thing you did yesterday or last week. Whether you’re waiting for that perfect time to apply for that job, or waiting for him or her to call…you can take the first step in a new direction if you really wanted to. Life is all about expecting the unexpected but are you willing to make a change? Don’t wait. Change directions and watch your happiness come from a place you’ve wished you’ve never waited for!

Recently, I had a conversation with a friend. He was a little down about not having a “love” for the holidays. Now before you start asking questions, let me assure you this nice young man wanted to have a “love” anytime, not just for the holidays. It got me to thinking… Here is a quality, nice looking guy who has no children, has his own place, works very hard and makes great money. Yet he was stressed and upset about not having a woman in his life. I’ve had many people tell me advice and how to feel about certain things and situations and even tried to make me feel bad for felling that way. At that time, all I could do was say, “hey, don’t worry. Everyone that meets and knows you instantly loves you. Hell, I love you!” But that was no better then what others had told me before. Instead, I should have just listened.
What I know is after finally being back to my original person, no longer attached, I am taking the time out to enjoy me! Don’t get me wrong, single life is great, but I understand those things he is missing and I wish he gets that soon from someone that will appreciate everything he has to offer. I should have told him, don’t allow anyone to change you. And if you keep reaching out to someone, and they are as unresponsive as an animal corpse that has been sitting outside the rode for a few weeks, keep moving and looking ahead! Do not be like Lot’s wife and look back because everything you have left behind and everyone that is no longer there for you should be a past treasured memory that gets better when you don’t moonwalk into your history.
And to you out there that has been holding on for someone that you constantly have to prove your love to …or even your worth, (Which should never be compromised by how others see or feel about you) release them. And when you do so you are releasing yourself. For my friend who want that shared life and love with someone, enjoy today, and wait for your tomorrow without sadness because it hasn’t approached you yet. In every season, there is a reason…
Losing someone close to you is tough, and God bless my family for going through these rough times..
There are so many memories that we hold for the ones that we love. And often times we have to let go of them long before the painful or happy memories fade. We must make a conscious effort to remember the good, and live with the mistakes we’ve made in those relationships. Every day all we can do is pray someone remembers the good and let go of what is holding us back from our happiness. Love and forgive one another, for as long as you can so that you don’t have to search in your minds for something that was always in your heart. .
I’m at a place in my life, when I have to look at my plate.. push it back, and say I’ve had enough. Day to day life can be a little stressful. Those who you’ve protected, aren’t there to protect you. The love and support I thought had from others seems a bit faded at times… But there’s no time to question, sulk in what I can’t explain, or give up. So I step back. Everyone needs a rest… the mind, the one we’ve been exhausting just to find a way to brighten not only ourselves but others lives, needs peace! Everything has it’s seasons, sometimes we have to step back, step away and let the fog clear so we can continue our journey in a better perspective. #staysilentandwatch
As I walked along a path I met a new acquaintance who asked me to call her Rare. She was quiet, listened to all my rants, raves, and many praises that I felt needed to be said. At first I didn’t notice that at no time did she interrupt me, but sat there and listened with a small smile on her face. Many of our talks went on like this, it seemed she rarely had an outburst or a care in the world. I began to explain that although i thought her name matched her demeanor, I ask her what would make her parents name her Rare. She laughed and said, “You’re a blessing to many but you allow too many issues to pass without communication… and when you do, it’s overwhelming to you. YOU love deeply, and forgive quickly, but One thing you must learn is how to be swift to hear and slow to speak. ” Since then, I’ve gotten better at hearing and slower to speak on things, and it has deepened my understanding that not all disagreements needed to be fought out, but all should be prayed about and All should end in “I love you regardless.” My acquaintance did tell me why her nickname was “Rare,” and that was because her real name was DISCERNMENT.
What are you wasting your time for? Not one second of your life is promised..not to wait until things calm down, or the perfect timing. .But waiting will cause doubt, and a missed opportunity. Tell him/her you love,adore and appreciate them when you are looking in their eyes, or holding them..sincerities of this multitude are priceless and can’t be bought or by giving material objects..
When’s the last time you stepped out of your own hell and gave your attention to someone else? Things may be busy, chaotic, and you don’t even know how you’re going to make it. .but when are you going to MOVE aside and give something if not all to GOD? Being available to someone else’s issues takes not only your mind off of yours, but it allows God the time to work on yours. I didn’t say let their issues become your problem, I suggest just being available to someone and something other then yourself! MOVE!!!!
The lonely nights where dreams of him choosing us against the world seemed silly and naive of me now. I had fairy tale dreams in a world that left me accepting mediocrity and half truths. Laying here praying that I had the courage to be the opposite of Lot’s wife and run away from this hell and never look back…..tbc
Once you’ve decided to reconstruct yourself, you have to replace and begin remodeling! This is in every aspect of your life,you ready to begin yours?
My future holds more smiles than frowns. A happy heart and a solid ground. My past reflects not the pain or shame that everyone may expect, but a lesson that was learned and a heart that is filed with grace. My present is now and I’m overwhelmed with hope. I’m climbing up a mountain with great expectations and faith that is small as a mustard seed seen through a believers scope.
Pure and Meek Heart
