When One Door Closes You Must Lean Forward and Open Another

When one door closes you must lean forward and open another!
I have learned recently with all that

Has gone on in my life and those around me that just because
one door closes it does not mean that

Your done your through you need to just get up dust yourself
off and keep trucking along!

When you make your life all about past injuries to your soul
or past mistakes it is only going to hold you

Down and cause you to constantly fall, your relationships will
suffer greatly and your inward appearance

In turn becomes your outward appearance full of despair and
suffering, those that once loved to be

Around you now no longer want to be there because you are
depressed and negative over everything.

You than realize that you have no one and it than dawns on
you that you now are truly depressed and

For what? All because you decided to hold onto those
injuries to your soul and mistakes that have been

Made by you or those things that were done to you.
When if you would just get up and open the
door the lord Jesus Christ is right there waiting for you he will
light your paths and walk with you on a New Journey and this time
he wants you to be on a Journey of Self Discovery!

As you start your Journey on Self  Discovery remember to stop and look around
you, think about

Whether you want to be known as that person that is Fake or
that person  who people know that they

Can come to you for you resonate The Beauty of The Lord!
Think on whether or not you want to leave

A Memorable Lasting Mark in Life one that Lives on or one
that passes when you do!

I know that it is hard to not pass judgement no matter how
small the judgement may be  we still

Have a hard time on not doing this, but realize that you are
not the judge Our Heavenly Father is.

Love your enemies for Christ is there with you and Love your
family and friends even when things

Seem impossible and a waste of time do not stop for Christ
is working, things will change in some

Way shape or form, just not on your time it will be on the
Lords time.

I have wondered for some time what it is that I have been
doing wrong or why is God allowing these

Things to happen to me but really he is building me up for
his Greater Purpose , that will be revealed

On My Journey to Self Discovery! I Thank You Jesus for my
life, for my every mistake, for my every breath for I know that I am
never alone you are there with me always!
When one door closes I will lean forward and open another,
I am so excited to be on this Journey with you!

Day in and Day out

Day in and Day out we do our duties as Mothers, we strive to make sure everything
Is done and done perfect the way we want it.  We tell our children that they need to clean
There rooms and do it the way we would do it.  We rush things and try to make sure that
Everyone is happy.  Our job never stops, we work so hard to make everything the way we
Want it.  In the midst of all that where was the Me time? It seems like all we here is Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom or Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, do this do that! STOP yes we need to be there for our children and family but always remember if you are not up to par than how can anything you do be up to par? Your kids will never be like you, they will never clean as you do or act as you do if they did we would still find something to say that it was not like what we would do.  We always seem to expect way to much, we seem way
To harsh, yes we need to be realistic kids will be kids but lets not rob them of their childhood with our childish selfish ways. If the house is messy than fine let it be, enjoy the moments in time that you get with your kids life is way to short to rush all the time and be drill sargents.  Yes at some point we will clean but don’t be so hell bent on having it done in a moments notice and don’t complain every time you turn around.  Tis the season for Family, Friends, Laughter, Joy and family will be there even if the house is a mess and so will friends if they are not than maybe they were not meant to be in your life in the first place.  So in saying this lets remember that it is ok to take a step back grow a back bone and realize that in order for you to flourish and recharge you need to stop and relax take a deep breath and let go.!

Fitting In?

We spend most of our lives trying to fullfill our needs and our wants only to find that we can't.  That everything we do seems so temporary.  We look for peace in buying things, or eating or trying to help someone else yet we are not dealing with our own issues we are just making that emptiness we feel more permanent.  We fall into that rut and start playing our lives back in our heads only to realize that we have run from the real issues at hand.  We had that friend who offered the answer we needed, we have seen the light only to turn from it, we have felt the resolution in our heart only to run from that to. We have some friends who say oh god isn't real or if he is where is he? Why isn't he helping you now? Than we have those friends that say god is real believe and have faith you are never alone. You begin to think should i believe?Who will leave me if i do? I'm so afraid of believing in something i cannot see. There has to be a reason some of my friends seem so happy and content! So i stand here today and say i choose to believe! I want peace, joy, happiness I may have lost some people along the way but my gain is so much more.  I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out that there is not one than to live my life as if there is not a God and die to find out that there is one.  Amongst all the worry and all the emptiness that has been felt you realize who really is your friend and who is not, God has shown you that with him all things are possible! Whether you are a addict, or a murderer, or a over weight girl who is made fun of, or the thin girl who is too thin, or a nerd who is made fun of all of these are children of God and he can heal you, he wants you to feel his love and strength.  Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.  Spend your time on creating a better stronger relationship with Jesus.  He Loves You!

Love and Emotion!

Waiting, thinking, feeling a sense of loss, a sense of needing love, understanding, compassion, kindness.
As I sit here listening to life around me I begin to wonder is there really any true emotion for anyone?

Why is it that we act one way when we are at home but when we are out we act totally different way?
Some may say that they do not do this but in reality you do, why is it we just can not be ourselves? We treat
strangers better than we do our own Family, we greet them as if we have no worries, we say Please and
Thank You.  We should show the same love and care for all, we may be different religions, colors, ethnic backgrounds but on the inside we are all the same. 


Life does not have to be hard.

We need to take a stand and really show everyone that love and emotion is not just for who we think deserves it, it is for everyone.  We need to listen to the unspoken words of our own hearts and the hearts of others, if we would just listen and hear what is really being said and not pass judgment we might really find that any problem we have really lies within ourselves but we take it out on others.

Strength for Another Day!

As I sit here and ponder all the things that I have done in my life and the many experiences that I have had, I begin to think that none of those experiences were without lessons learned!

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; let the righteous run to it and they are safe - Proverbs 18:10

Wow what a verse talk about being able to pull from that the strength you need to face the day!

Challenges everyday Challenges just when you think that you have had enough and are ready to quit and give up The Lord Jesus Christ swoops down and shows you that you are ok and with him all things are possible! Another Life Lesson learned, I will never count my past as a hinderance to my future for it made me who I am today! Thank you Lord for all the Good and Bad that I have experienced in my life for I know that you have a plan for me and I will follow you all the days of my life! I will work harder and be more alert to your voice for I know you are trying to speak to me yet I cannot hear because I will not be quiet and listen for your calming still voice!

As I start my own Blog here I pray to God for guidance, wisdom, knowledge, and strength may I speak words that build others up and may the things that I have gone through in life in some way shape or form help another!

God Bless You All!
