Oh To Walk

I’ve been listening to songs that encourage me, that build me up, that keep me encouraged. I think some of them were to remember where I was and how God moved. That really is major. When you can have those kinds of moments you are renewed for the journey. You can let go of some things. You can breathe easier.  We need to breathe easier. We need to get our strength for the journey. We need to fix urlace in life and walk it out. Oh- to walk it out, knowing you are not walking alone. It is a joy to look back and see your progress along the journey. And then to walk encouraged now. 

What songs encourage you? Blessings of peace as you walk this day. enough for now.

Your Grand Adventure

Yes, it is difficult to stay focused when so many things are going on around you. Yet, you can do it. Keep in mind that this is an adventure with Holy Spirit guiding the way. God has already laid out the adventure, and Jesus has made your passage safe. When you begin to see this as an adventure - you will be less stressed as you know who has your back.

It is a grand adventure for you! Don't miss the journey. enough for now.

We Need the Rain

What is it about rain that causes us to shut down?  I think if we could recognize the cleansing of the rain, then we would not shun it but marvel at the renewing power.

What about the rain events in our lives? I have come to recognize them as cleansing also. After the storm, look around, see what has been cleared. Not all storms are bad. Get your umbrella, and watch what God is doing in the midst of the storm. We need the rain. enough for now.

No One Told Him

As I walked out of the mountain a large bird swooped past me out of a tree and to the ground. I stood stunned while watchng the bird as he joined the other chickens on the ground. Stunned - because I was told that chickens can’t fly. Yet, there it was, here in Jamaica, a chicken flying out of a tree. No one told him that he couldn’t fly. 

How many times are we limited in what we believe because someone has limited us? How many times have we been told what we can’t do because someone else couldn’t do it?  Oh I offer the sky is the limit. Where are you bound by what you thought? Go ahead, try it. I hear R. Kelly’s song, “I Believe I can Fly.” What do you believe? Oh you can do it. Believe it, after all no one told that chicken. enough for now.

Walk in the Light

I was walking up the mountain early this morning and I realized that I could not see. Now that made no sense as I was holding a flashlight; yet I was walking in the dark. Holy Spirit showed me – why walk in darkness when you have the light? 

What is your darkness? Where is the light? There is light. Walk in it. enough for now.

More Happy Thoughts

Life is what you make it. When you allow yourself to walk in peace, peace abounds. When you have happy thought, more happy thoughts come. I just talked to my youngest grandson and that made my evening. I love how God keeps showering with his love. Even when I may not feel as ‘up’ I know that I am still in God’s will and all is well.

Here’s the cool part - God showers you also. You have to see it, accept it, walk in it. Oh the joys of the journey. Don’t miss what Go has for you. Life is what you make it. enough for now.

Happy Thoughts

I think back to special times. Today my only niece was born a few years ago. I watched how she has grown into a beautiful loving young woman with her own family. That’s a happy thought today. What is your happy thought? Yes? Wait for it. Don’t let life take your happy thought away. When you can focus on happy thought, then you can rise above any craziness. Go ahead, try it. enough for now

Never Alone

Life comes at us fast. We learn how to maneuver around and through. It is so helpful when you have someone you can trust to witness your life. Yes, for many that is not possible; however, we have an advocate with Holy Spirit who guides and we are placed in the paths of those witnesses for a season.

You are never alone. Seasons change, but you are never alone. Henri Nouwen said it well in Mourning Into Dancing, that life is a trapeze act and we act the performers. God is the catcher and he releases us - and then catches us. Or something like that. The takeaway is to know that you are not alone, there are witnesses of your life for seasons, and Holy Spirit guides always. Never alone. enough for now.

Walk

As we move through this time, we move focused and ready to reach our goals, our dreams. We move out from those lies that held us bound. It's time- now to walk free of the junk. Walk free, walk upright, walk unbound, walk knowing who we are because of whose we are.

Walk now, walk watching what God is doing in your life. enough for now.

All is Well

All is Well. When you recognize that one piece of peace, then your journey will be much lighter. All is well. In the grand scheme of life, you are not as alone as you think you are. You are doing better than you think. The life you have is so much more. You take that life and walk it out as Holy Spirit guides. Ah, then you will be able to recognize the lightest of your journey. And you can see more and more that all is indeed well.

Look inside of you and let that good, that creativity, that compassion come to surface. Don't worry about others, watch what God is dong in your life. Yes, all is well. enough for now.

Your Newness

New . . . newness . . . freshness . . . awaken . . . coming out . . . Yes! Not only this new year, but each new day. awaken to the newness of the day. To receive this day as the gift it is. There is so much available-today. Watch for it! Cherish it. It is yours. enough for now.

Stepping

You have stepped over, into, out of- Stepped over hurdles; into new chances; out of old griefs. This new year herald new starts; although God's mercies are new everyday. This is the one thing that all nations do together so it makes it big. Ah, but some miss that God's mercies refresh and renew us daily. So we are stepping over, into, and out of. Expect big things -today. Blessings for a new awareness in this year! enough for now.
