Just for Married Folks and Prospectives

Some of us married folks are really going to burn in hell if we do not change our ways. We murmur and complain and become ever so bitter towards each other as if God doesn’t and has never done anything right in our lives.

We are sulky and angry at almost everything, we become like the Children of Israel who God delivered from a bad place with a great promise of better but because of their disobedient and evil heart they never made it save two persons. In retrospect some of us are coming from a bad place and our marriage and family relationship may not be the ideal and quite a distant from the paradise some of us seek but it is still worth giving thanks for.

I have found that some singles do find themselves in a similar position as well and are also in need of healing lest they perish. If our souls are with our real lover, Jesus Christ the groom, then we will find so much more to be thankful for and so fewer opportunities to bicker.

The bride must become spotless to meet her groom and while you are busy counting others’ spots, be careful those spots aren’t transferred to you. Change your ways, time is running out.

Emotional tangle

Emotional tangle

It can be too much to handle



Emotional confusion

Unclear motivation

Confronting, understanding

My emotional complication

Rescue me from this situation

Mental frustration



I react off the cuff

As though the earlier problems were not enough

In an unstructured discourse

I felt like I was force, now deep remorse

So I speak my mind

Though mean and unkind



Now I am twice disturbed

Thrice perturbed

“Good Heavens!” My anger tree must curb



It’s happening!

“No, its not”





It’s happening!

“No, its not”



All in one body

All in one head

Come alive

Then drop dead



What do I want?

“I want that which I don’t want”

So I let go of that which I want to hold

Cuddling with warm embrace

While saying, “Stay outta my face!”

What do I want?

Oh God I need your help



My emotional drama

Each separated by a comma

In a minute I love what I hate

Then excited over what soon bore me, sealing my fate



Émouvoir

French emotion

Move, strong devotion

Drive, elation



All in one body

All in one head

Come alive

Then drop dead



Later I’ll be ecstatic

Electric, a fanatic



Bombarded by fear

Having no care

Doubt and uncertain

Then suddenly all is clear

Oh, what is this my Dear?



All in one body

All in one head

Come alive

Then drop dead

Emotional tangle

It can be too much to handle



No. 1 reason I do what I do

Led by the emotions rather than the heart

Oh it’s tearing me a part

Emotion needs no reason

At times may use a season

Then another moment, high treason



All in one body

All in one head

Come alive

Then drop dead

Emotional tangle

It can be too much to handle



(Those who struggle with the emotional highs and lows, learn the importance of replacing that part of you with faith, faith in a God who is far more powerful than your emotional experiences)

I Survived Home

A new day breaks

Greeted by aged old heart aches

A place call home for loving hearts

A master piece work of art

The irony of this symphony

My place of safety

Love sanctuary

Has become my Calvary

To help me the evil dispel

Is now my living hell

Be Obedient

Why do you ask questions when you don’t want answers?

Why do you want me to speak when you are not listening?

And why do you ask me to lead when you want to follow the path of your own?

Why do you hear my words, and then disobey?

You asked me to order your steps but yet you keep running away from me

You believe I always watch over you, surely I always do, even though I don’t like all the things you do.

You said I should hold your hands and lead you into the unknown


But you only want to go the way you know


You just don’t understand, for you, I have the perfect plan

There are doors that have failed to open because you are not walking with me…And those doors already open will only take you down a path further and further away from me

You said I should control your lips but you keep on speaking and singing lewd language

You Gossip, you carry tale and oh God knows what else…that’s right I do know what else…

You said I should keep your mind pure yet you keep harbouring unwholesome thoughts and imaginations

My words are true…

My mercies each day are new…

If you really want to worship me…be obedient

The Burden of a Girl's Heart - Prayer

Oh God,

You are God of all creation, human and wisdom.
You reign supreme.
Oh God, you know the cries of my heart

Some things I just don’t understand.
Why a mother hates her child,
Or a child hates his/her mother
I don’t quite know why mom and dad just doesn’t seem to get along

Nor do I understand why it seems as though dad hates his child
And why the child hates dad
How can a place of love and protection
Be packed with so much hatred, bitterness and danger?

God, Almighty!
Where have we gone wrong?
The devil is certainly having a field day in our family
We have a spare room around the back, I am sure that is where he sleeps at nights.

Sisters and brothers hating each other so much they try to kill each other
And sometimes they do succeed.
God, in all this madness
Fill my heart with gladness

Hear the cries of your children,
The cries of children being hurt and cursed,
The sadness and pain of children being battered and abused
A land in ruins, a family in turmoil

“The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish pulls it down with her hands” (Proverbs 14:1)
“A wise man builds his house upon a rock…” Matt. 7:24

Why a teen, a child like me should carry such a burden?
So God, I write you this prayer from eyes swollen with tears
I write you with a heart so filled with anguish and hate, for my parents taught me well
Sometimes God, Dad, I wonder what was it like when my parents were children
Did their parents hate them too?

God for four years now I tried killing myself, I have now concluded that even death hates me
So now I want to live and find true love in the world,
I believe I was made for better.

Help me to show that with you in my life, a mess can become a message
Help me God to find better, help me to endure, help me to find joy, in Jesus name.
Amen

(A child, a teenager, a man, a woman, needs this prayer today - A world filled with dysfunctional families - Intercede toay)

His soul search for home…

A man wanting to give love and care…

Not quite the story we often hear…



His heart desires to be home…

Instead it seldom wanders but never roams…



A soul caught within a love-net…

Leaves the faint discouraged and perplexed…



A man, no boy…

Must he treat love like a toy?...



He won’t even bet on it…

A chance too great to take…



A man wanting a girl…

Someone he can call his precious pearl…



A man wanting a wife…

With whom he can joyfully share his life…



A man wanting a son…

A lad to perpetuate his legacy…



A bitter taste in the heart…

Hunts for the sugar sweet love of his heart…



As the lungs need air…

He wants his love to be near, be there…



A man longing for a touch…

English, Spanish, French or Dutch…



A man wanting to give love and care…

Not quite the story we often hear…



If while giving…

He too starts receiving…



A soul searching for home…

Ends the seeking, the hunting when it finds Home!

Knock…knock…Your success is at the door

Knock…knock…who’s there? ... Your success...

If you were told that your success is just outside your door, what would you do?...

Knock…knock…and the knocking continues…you need to make the next move...

The next move to get just what you have always wanted...

You have been praying for your breakthrough for a long time now...

Finally, your answer is just outside the door...

Perhaps too you are thinking, “Yeah right!”...

“If only life was that simple…”

But let us suppose again that life was always simple...
And our faith is what determines how simple or complex life becomes

“Really now?...”
Sure…it is as simple as opening the door and allowing success to come inside...

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” – St. Matthew 7:7 – “Join the 7:7 Prayer”...

There are some considerations too…Time is essential as success will only wait on your response for a specific time…the offer wont last forever…It will soon move to the next available door, obedient heart or determined bidder....

If you were told that there is just one small problem that is standing between you and success…would you be willing to make that change?...

Would you know what is standing in your way?...

Your ‘door’ may be a bad habit...

Or it may be your intemperance, impatience, your slothfulness or foolish pride...

It may be that you just didn’t ask....

Whatever it is, how prepared are you to open that final door and allow success to walk right in?

Join the 7:7 prayers…let’s make success walk right through your door.

The Best Two-Word Conversation I Know...

Thank You…

Sharing these two words with you, there isn’t much else to say or do…

Thank You…

Thank you…
For staying the course...

Thank you…
You stuck to the task...

Thank you…
Now we have fond memories, forever they’ll last...

Thank you…
The best two-word conversation I know...

Thank you…
Even the smallest act of kindness or caring gesture will ignite a heart and cause it forever to glow

Thank you…

He's living a lie

He calls himself a saint...
Poisoned by his own lust he grows faint...

He makes the altar a place of shame...
Partaking in the name without playing the game...

His gift and status, a young girl's deception...
Uncovered by her conception...

This 'priest' with a soul of charm...
Yet another prey he hunts then harm...

When the prophet rebukes...
Forsake the stubbornness of age and the folly of youth...

The fragrance of deception...
Can you tell by mere smell...

Playing evil melody on his drums, his flute...
cloak-and-dagger, guileful pursuit...

He wears a lie in his profession...
That keeps him at peace without confession...

Not one with The Creator...
Rather the Deceiver...

CONGRATULATIONS!

I know there were times when you certainly thought you couldn’t, you wouldn’t and perhaps you shouldn’t.

Throughout the worrying moments; the pain, the tears, the tiring days and sleepless nights there were so many battles that you had to fight.

~ *~*~*~

With all the skeptic voices shouting you can’t and you won’t, well…you have done it!

You managed to swim against the tide, now your success cannot be denied.

Whatever you didn’t know then, you know now, you surely can and you surely did it. The results are here…Yeah! You did it!

Congratulations!

She needs her identity

Her father was never the real big man...


She hated men though she needed one...



Always wishing he would one day come home...

But she wondered whether she would hit him with a stone...



Her father was never the real big man...

She hated men though she needed one...



Her peers spoke highly of their dad...

She could only imagined the glories she never had...



Daddy if you only knew...

Mom had a baby girl and called her Sue...



Her father was never the real big man...

She hated men though she needed one...



With tears streaming down her face...

Father’s day, she yearned for your embrace...



Her father was never the real big man...

But she didn’t want just any man, she wanted that special one...

Who or what is standing in your way?

In your quest for success how do you decide who to keep close to you?

How will you jeopardize your goals by playing with fire or by simply being stupid?

How can your smaller goals, wild habits and desires destroy your main purpose?

If you remain disorganized, uncommitted, indiscipline and tardy, how will this ultimately affect you achieving your goals and ultimately the final score of your life?

I have been embarking on a personal ‘clean-up’ exercise. What is that?
It is an exercise that is aimed at eliminating those beliefs, values, ideologies, thinking and imaginations, behaviours, prejudices, attitudes and individuals in my life which make it more difficult to live in God’s will. Frankly, I am embracing a wiser lifestyle and letting go of the complicated and foolish living.

Oftentimes it is said there is much wisdom in simplicity. I wholehearted agree. I have committed to living simplier and wiser too. We have complicated our own lives, and by so doing we have made living almost impossible.

I am on a quest to finding people I can network with who share similar passions and are also committed to their purpose. I will then keep these persons for as long as God says they are to remain a part of His plan for me. Speaking of plans we force others into our lives or vice a versa and they are not a part of the plan and never will be. But we somehow just want them to be, only to our own peril. Is that stupidity? I will let you be the judge.

The world is filled with too many people who are going nowhere. As difficult as that may sound, I know you will agree there is some truth to it. They are at the same place every time you meet them. It even gets worse in some instances. You must always go back over what you have done a thousand times before when dealing with them. They aren’t moving and they are not growing. They eventually start holding you back if they are around you long enough.

I have resolved in my heart, when I meet such persons I must seek God’s help and do the wise thing. I must let go of my ‘negative drivers’, which may be any of the seven things listed above. As a caution, we help ourselves down in attempting to help these persons up at times, so beware. The sooner we realise this is true the better we will be.

There are far too many persons who are their worse enemy, distracting themselves from the very goal they are working towards achieving. But what should they do? What can they do? Well..Deal with yourself, recognise that your soul likes to connect, but you must not connect or even entertain just about anyone.

Another area of concern, persons tend to hide under the ignorance clause, “IDK” or I don’t know. They tell themselves that they are not quite sure the impact others are having on them, and by the way, these are usually negative influences. They deny that there is power in the music they sing or listen to; they continue to say their environment, the company they keep, and the things at which they find entertaining are not distracting. Truthfully and sadly, they are living in a state of denial.

Beware, you can deceive or ‘psyche’ yourself into believing that some things that are destroying you are good for you.

I said it earlier that most persons are going nowhere. This is so because not many take the time and care to ask about that single most important purpose for which they were created.

They never take the time to ask God, The Creator for His blue print of their life.

Some do ask, but then start to construct their lives even before God responds.

So now, how do you decide who is to remain a part of your journey and who should not?

This is such an important question I am happy I learnt the importance of this in my mid teenage years. Daily look at the experiences you have, preferably at the end of the day. With God’s guidance decide which persons or things are worth having and which aren’t, always weighing them against the purpose God has planted in your heart.

Who claims to be wise? Let him show it by his good life. The book of James 3 is a good place to start.

Can you ever forgive Dad?

She hated him for how he treated her and her siblings. He would drink until he became drunk, then came the verbal abuse.
That is story of 16 year old Sarah.

In another house not very far away, 17 year old Jack is being told that he must be on his own when he gets to age 18.
He is scared and tormented by the fear of being driven out in the world too soon.

There are many untold stories of very unfortunate experiences with fathers.
The irony, many hurting children grow up and cause similar hurts to their children and spouse.

When does this vicious cycle ends?
Yes daddy was wrong, he was far from being perfect. But what good is there in treating him as he deserves? When do we start healing the world by touching one heart at a time?

When we have the opportunity to show others a better way of life we should always jump at it. Even though you might still be hurting, by choosing to forgive, you have made the first deposit towards settling your own healing bill.

FORGIVE, then start to experience a better quality of life.

One hand raised for Dad

Recently I was conducting a choir rehearsal with fourteen members in the church hall. I asked persons to show by the raising of the hand if they grew up with their father and whether he had played a role in their development even if he was not physically present. I was dumb founded at the responses. Much to my surprise I was the only person in the room with my hand in the air.

In that moment of reflection, persons used the opportunity to share their various heartbreaking and disappointing experiences. There are people all over the world who never experienced the love of a father and some are still paying the price today.

There are those, who like me, had a father present but still not fully appreciative. Sometimes we become very ungrateful to our fathers because we somehow believe they never played the role we wanted them to play. They love the best way they knew how and gave what they could. They got some things wrong but they got many right too.

Christian Evangelist, Billy Graham said, "A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society."

Love can be communicated in many ways and too often we notice that the way a father shares his love with his children isn’t given much value and importance.

Men enjoy buying stuff and giving it when they share love. It is like sharing a part of them with you. Often times the monies used to purchase these gifts and items are hard earned monies on which they place great value; Monies that cost them their strength, energy and time away from home.

June is here and every year we take the time out to acknowledge the fathers across the world. Today I raise my hand for dad. I will always remember one small boy in my Sunday school class some years ago who said that when he grows up he would like to be a father. I thought, ‘How wonderful’.

To my female readers, please help to make our men become fathers we can all be proud of. Support them with your kind words of encouragement. Refuse to add your energy to the many negative voices out there.

To my male readers, we can do better and better is required of us, the odds are against us but let us keep our hands raised for dad. Regardless of whether you were exposed to good fatherhood, you can make a change and make a difference. Our children need their identity, they need us. Our Heavenly Father is counting on us. I raise my hand for dad. I raise my hand to you, keep going.

Travel to Jamaica

If you are planning on travelling to Jamaica and is a bit worried over what is being reported in the media.
No need to fear. I want to encourage you not to change your vacation plans. Furthermore if you are travelling to the resort areas, the hotels are usually secured. Take your usual precautions when you travel, but don't be overburdened with fear and worrying. You can still make this one of your best vacations ever.

Every body needs a little motivation

In times like these we all need a little motivation

We are all motivated by something or by someone



If you have not yet found it,

Go on a search to discover what motivates you

Quite often, we require the opposite of whatever discourages us



As you aim for the good, the right and excellent

Be mindful of the battle you are in

Fight this battle with wisdom and prayer



Let’s make it happen

You are on your path

Beware of the shadows that either drives fear in you

Or want to distract you



Stay focused,

Your reward,

Your destination

A sense of fulfillment

Are all powerful motivators

Love is also another powerful motivator

Take all the motivation you need



Dreams do come true

Dream it, believe it and make it

Think it – bring it – become it

Let’s make it happen

Intimate worship and a friend in you

So many times you have cried because someone failed you… So many times you have cried because someone upset or disappointed you...Oh those times when you felt hurt by words, actions and beliefs.

There have even been those times you failed yourself and felt really bad.

But, when was the last time you felt so loved and appreciated it brought tears to your eyes?

When was the last time your heart swelled with passion and overwhelming joy?

That aching feeling you felt wasn’t quite pain…But the uneasiness of knowing you have finally found comfort you have always longed is alive… It feels so strange but it is what you wanted…Know this, you deserve it….Get use to it

Tears are just like expressing words, a language from your heart

If you have been so moved that your heart sweat and it shows on your face in the form of tears, then it is only a sign that your heart is healthy.

When you enter into intimate worship or you experience the joy of great, true and Godly friendship and love it makes your heart sing.

It makes our hearts sing when others touch our lives through their kindness

At times when God speak to our hearts, the only way the heart knows how to respond is through our tears.

Just love Him and enjoy those joys He has brought into your life.

Let your eyes cry, let your heart sing.

I am here to help you…

If you need to walk I’ll be your legs...

If you need to see I’ll be your eyes...

If you need a drink I’ll be your water...

I am here to help and I am here to serve...

God wants us to rely on Him as our divine source...

But He has deployed his soldiers, his troops on the grounds...

We don’t fight with a gun or a knife...

We fight with God’s love weapon...

I am a soldier of Christ...

I go where he sends...

I answer when he calls...

Dance when He plays His rhythm...

If you need support, hold my arms...

I am here to help you…

God sent me, here I am

Saying I love you

I said it

I meant it

And it felt real good



These three little words

Eight letters no hate letters

In one unbroken sentence



I said it

I meant it

And it felt really good



It came back to me

In ways I just couldn’t see

And it felt real good like it should



We desire to hear it from someone

Experience it, not with just anyone

It must be ‘someone’



Time has never really explain

Words that can sooth and heal

Remove the headache, the pain



I said it

I meant it

And it felt real good



You heard it

You believed it

And it felt real good too



Saying I love you

Is a powerful heart-glue

The bond for two hearts wanting to come together



Between “I” and “You”

There is something we’ve got to learn to do

Place love in the middle, always start with “I” but focus on “You”



I said it

I meant it

And it felt real good



Like a ‘Give away’ that stays

A run away that never leaves

Love resides in the heart and parades on the sleeves



Love award us experiences we never knew

Stirs the emotions and awake the soul,

Or cause the soul to sleep and dream by a simple

“I love you”

HOW DO YOU KEEP A SMILE

How do you keep a smile?...

When there is so much disappointment, so much pain...

When it seems you are losing a lot with very little gain...


How do you keep a smile?...

When life requires so much of you...

When daily your storms you’re passing through...


How do you keep a smile?...

When your heart is breaking...

When deep inside you are aching..


How do you keep a smile?...

When you feel like you are the only one standing...

When many issues have you craving for more and more understanding...


How do you keep a smile?...

Day in and day out...

When life is almost freaking you out...


In everything we encounter daily...

There is always a point of decision..

A time to decide what you will give up and what you will take on...


You must decide whether this is worth your smile...

Next time someone tries to upset you, discourage you or offend you...

Ask, “Is this worth the value of my smile?”...


How do you keep a smile?...

Refuse to give it up for the cheap, disturbing moments we all face...

Your smile is worth more; don’t lose it over just any and everything...


A smile is healing, keep it!

FROM HER HEART ( A young girl's questions)

1. Why am I unhappy?...


2. Why does no-one love me the way I want to be loved?...

3. Why did God make me with all these feelings and emotions and I have no where to channel them?...

4. Why do I have the need to be loved by a man when it isn't humanly possible?...

5. Why are most of my Christian friends married and I am being faithful to God and He cannot find me a husband?...

6. Why do I even need one?...

7. Why has God been holding back on me?...

8. What have I done that I am being punished for?...

9. Does God even hear my prayers cause frankly I am tired of praying about a relationship?...

10. Am I missing something?...

11. Do you think God will tell me if this is in His plan for me so I can forget about it from now?...

12. Why do I keep meeting people that will only hurt me?...

13. Why do I always get hurt from men?...

14. Maybe I really don’t need them!...

15. Why am I even asking these questions when no one has the answers?...

What do you think and how do you feel about this?...

Little words…huge effect

A small kind word so fitly spoken
Heal our ills and mend the broken
But a small unpleasant word uttered out of turn
Sinks deep into our spirits and cause the soul to burn

So when next you must speak
Keep your words pleasant, soft and sweet
For the delicate heart wounded and hurt
May be like an irremovable stain upon a shirt

I found love…

I found love underneath the carpet and swept it out by mistake…

I found love but miserable me got the better of me and stole it…

I found love and ran the car over it one morning while rushing to work…

I found love but hated its inconvenience features and traded it in for a microwave instead…

I found love on my door step one morning I woke up but never appreciated it and so it left…

I found love but was too scared, too blind and too deaf

Then one day love amazingly found me…

Arrested me by the heart, told me to be quiet and bounded me…

Now I am as happy as can be….

Ever since that day love found me…

Love’s risk

Oh love, why do you favor the brave...

Why do you make it so hard to find you...

And at times you seem to be in my heart and all over my mind …

Why do you make it so painful to bear when you leave…

And at times you seem so true with those who want to deceive…

Oh love, why do you favor the brave…

Why to find you, I must become you, give you and do you…

And at times I feel you are with me, and other times you are not …

Oh love, why do you favor the brave…

It is hard to find you, twice as hard to keep you and devastating to live without you…

You are a risk I must take, a choice I must make.

Your Precious Reminder

Your Precious Reminder

If you think no one loves you…I do…

If you are feeling sad, lonely and uncertain of yourself…I woke up with you on my mind today and I sent the sun just so you could see the day and find your way…

If you are coming under the weight of the pressures of life…I am here to help you carry your burden, let me lift it from off your head, there’s just too much there…

You have been walking around with that ‘guilt cloud’ hanging over your head and on your back for some time now…Oh my child…I shed my blood for that too, now you can be free…Rise up and walk…leave it behind you…

If you are feeling discouraged and bitter…I am here, I am here so reach out for me…I am here…

I am here, my precious child…I am your Lord…The God Almighty

I made all your parts, including your heart, so I know you inside out…Talk to me…Pray to me and worship me…

Let go of the things that hold you…Those things that are making it difficult for you to walk with me…Be free mentally, emotionally and spiritually...I love you

If you love me too…then you’ll know just what to do…I placed my words in your heart so you can wear it…obey it and live it…like a garment, put it on, cover yourself with it…I love you

We are all but travelers...
Passing through this moment in time...
I just happen to be a part of your journey...
And you just happen to be a part of mine...

Gladly I will embrace the opportunities to love you...
Share a moment, a smile, a journey or even a thought too...

It is late, but not too late

It is late, but not too late

Do your remember how you felt the last time your arrived late for work, school or church?

Can you imagine what it would be like if that was your very last chance?
What do I mean by that?
Well…Let us suppose because you were late this time around you would no longer be able to participate in school, or you would no longer have a job or be able to go to church anymore…what would that mean for you? What would you do?
It is a frightening thought.

The last time I was late and had to go through a much longer process than normal was just yesterday. I was attending a meeting as a Pension Trustee but was a little over 25 minutes late and so too were some other attendees. The organizers arranged the first set of attendees to park in the main car park area and the remainder to park at another car park located 7 minutes away and then be shuttled back to the meeting auditorium.

To make it even more heart breaking for me, I was not allowed to go in the main meeting room but had to settle for an overflow room with a screen and a speaker box to hear and watch the proceedings in the main auditorium.

The point is I was late, but not too late.

If you look at the world and judge it by the bible’s clock you would recognise that it is late, but not too late.
In Genesis 6:12 it says “…God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth”.
This was the situation just before God destroyed the world with a flood in Noah’s days. It would then be wise of us to realise the very same conditions now exist across the world today. It is late, but not too late. The world is corrupt.

Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Think about this, only eight persons made it safely in the ark, the rest were too late. Everyone believes they still have time, so they can enjoy the pleasures a little more.

I know I still have time to write a song to help a struggling man, girl, boy or woman.
There is still time to share a word that can bring hope, change a heart and bring new birth.
Surely it is late, but not too late. Some think they still have time, maybe they are right, or maybe they are wrong.

I am Feeling Excellent

I am feeling excellent

Today as I was speaking with a friend online, she asked how it was I was feeling excellent… and most times that is really how I am feeling and how I am.

I responded by saying that everyday when we wake up there will be people and things that are fighting for our mood...they want to dictate how we ought to feel, think and behave...stop…don't give them the slightest chance…Fight for your mood…Fight for your faith

Since most people allow their mood to influence their faith, you must fight for your mood first. Then as you mature and gain more control over your mood, you will grow into allowing your faith to dominate. When your faith starts to take control then your mood is secondary. So when you are not feeling much like it, you will want to do it anyway.

Your faith talk is what some call positive-talk. Your eyes are closed but you are seeing anyway. Your ears are not listening but you are hearing…See beyond your current struggles, see the greater results, the greater you…I am feeling excellent and I radiate excellence as I go…Catch it if you will…you determine what you catch and also what catches you in so many ways.

Despite all that’s happening, I am feeling excellent, how about you?

Where are you right now?

Where are you right now?...

It is still a fairly new year and a lot is happening around the world right now…

But where are you? ...

Where is your head space? Where is your heart? ...

Are you just going through the motions of completing what life demands? ...

Do you have hope for a better tomorrow? …

Or did you quit with the happenings of yesterday? ...

How are you feeling right now? …

Excited, resentful, sad, depressed, pensive, reflective, happy, helpful…

Where is your heart? ...

This is one of the most important questions you could ask yourself right now? …

Where is your heart? Is it with your Creator, your Maker?

At times I search for myself and do find it and bring my heart back home to where it belongs.

Do you need to go out in search of you?

Do you know where your soul walks when you become unconscious?

Whether a brief moment while you are awake or while you are in a dream.

Where are you right now?
