Within yourself

Often times we'll spend our lives searching to find in others, what we must first find in ourselves. And because of that we will spend many of our days drowned in a sea of unhappiness, no one will ever be enough to feel that void. Learning first to love and accept yourself and your life is essential to the growth in love for self.

There are many things in life in which we have no control, situations and circumstances that arise that leave us to deal the best that we know how. Sometimes there are cuts so deep no band aid will fix them, the ones that have to be treated and cared for intensely over time. Life can be the same way sometimes, there are some experiences that cut so deep it feels as if the wound will never heal. Although over time when treated properly the wounds heal, and the scars left behind are a part of the testimony that may save someone else's life.

No matter how bad it looks, God already has it worked out...who better to depend on than the one who already holds the end result in His hands? This doesn't mean that knowing this will make these situations any easier to deal with, but knowing this can give you the endurance to keep pushing forward no matter what you are going through. Know that struggle will come, but after struggle comes triumph. How you decide to face the obstacles in your life today will determine your future...Be Blessed

No words 1/15/2010

I called and no one answered
I cried out and no one came
I was left alone in my sorrow
and overwhelmed with all the pain

There were no words to tell it all
no one there to break my fall
Where were the ones who called me friend?
To walk beside me and help me stand?

In the day I could disguise the hurt
but in the night I nearly drowned in tears
I wanted to call upon the Lord
but I knew not where to start

At last when I kneeled before Him speechless
He placed His hand upon my shoulder and said,
" I am the one who calls you friend,
I am Alpha, Omega, the Beginning and the End".

I lift up my head, for I am encouraged...God is with me.

There are times in life God will put us in a situation only He can bring us out of, no matter what storm comes your way be encouraged in the Lord. Know that you can always find a friend in Jesus, for He is faithful. Be blessed:)
