"Loves Embrace"

"Loves Embrace" has never relinquished me from its grasp and continues to Love me despite an admitted immature past.

But, what could I have possibly garnered by way of experience, knowledge, Life lessons, lessons learned, coupled with the sincere appreciation of what God's Grace and Mercy are all about, had I actually been mature, all throughout?

It was an honor to once be a fool if the Lord was sharpening me, His tool, to be able to rebuild again, as if I always knew the true meaning of what it is to be a friend.

May I Love as Love has so Loved me, forever changing the selfish me, to the selfless we.

The cost of being an example for God is more than some are willing to ever pay. But He has satisfied any outstanding balance that I could not have ever afforded to pay.

The cost to me was the relinquishment of me, so that His demonstration of Him, could be something for others to see.

If immaturity was the leader of my ambiguity, then God's revolution was the only, natural solution. His great compassion blot out my transgressions and through forgiveness, therein lies all of my Life Lessons.

The thought of His face and "Loves Embrace" that has never relinquished me from its grasp and continues to Love me despite an admitted immature past.

Maturity has arrived ever so beautifully!

Thank You Jesus!

"Find the Silver Lining"

Deeply marinated within or skimming the surface of is where you will find and where exists the lesson within the Blessing that has been disguised as adversity should you only stand in the midst of and allow it to reveal itself to you in the form of experience.

Do not run from or shy away from things that seem uncomfortable to you. For you do not grow within the confines of comfort but on the exterior where discomfort reshapes and your thought process to get you acclimated with what used to be uncomfortable, but is not so anymore.

Growth is not optional when Love is unconditional. It becomes a mandatory necessity in the absence of ambiguity. We continue what was started, irrespective of the departed and we look towards Heaven to acknowledge what has been imparted, to us.

Our goal in Life becomes a single action item, which is to: "Find the Silver Lining." What positivity can be derived from this negativity that is in and or around my Life? Where is the good in this perceived or realized bad?

The Love of God is truly unconditional, so our growth is not optional and whatever we may face in Life shall always pale in comparison to God's Grace. The overall silver lining is God. The underlined silver lining are Blessings from God that will reshape and remold us so that we become better acclimated to our growth.

It matters not what you grow through, but what you ultimately become when you always make a conscious effort to "Find the Silver Lining," in and for your Life.

"Nobody But Jesus!"

You need not look far out on the horizon or go anywhere up yonder in order to find people that are hurting and crying out in pain, be it self-inflicted or the recipient of.

Just take a solemn look around and look beyond what you see aesthetically, cosmetically and superficially. You see we have learned to hide it well, but thank God for being able to see right through us. Thank God for prescribing just what we need way before we learn that we are even sick to begin with or that a need even exists.

Who knows better than He, what we stand in the need of...

Be it at work, in the home, YOUR home, in the Church, or just out and about, know that someone, somewhere stands in the need of reassurance, a warm embrace, a genuine Smile, a happy "hello," a kind gesture, a delicate touch, a gentle something to give them just an ounce of encouragement that everything is going to be alright.

Sometimes we soon forget about the greatness of the Lord and that our efforts alone are efforts in vain because we struggle to maintain when we foolishly fight battles that were not designed for us to win, rather designed for us to bare witness to His ability to defeat our adversity in any situation or circumstance, depositing within us an unwavering Faith that directs our path and rids us of the hurt and pain that we know we can escape, because through Christ Jesus, we are already free!

But freedom is not free! When you become liberated, you must show others how to they too can become free. On the other side of hurt and pain exists joy and happiness. And although hurt and pain cannot recognize joy and happiness until it is formally introduced, joy and pain can readily identify who and what hurt and pain resembles and looks like, since it used to be a representation of who and what YOU used to resemble and look like.

In your new vision, the Blessing that you have been Blessed with needs to now pay it forward and turn someone else's hurt and pain into that same joy and happiness that Christ uses to sustain us as we "stand in" all the while that we "grow through."

When they see the face, hear the voice or recognize the actions, may the familiarity be "Nobody But Jesus!"

"I'm Grateful!"

The Blood of Christ has cleansed my defeats and forever placed me in the winner's circle with the nucleus and the center of my joy being the reason for my being, the spark to my fire, that tireless desire, to take aim, strategize, claim and ascend to something higher.

To not ever flee from adversity, for it lasts contrary to infinity, yet its existence changes the course of my existence, by making it even more mightily. "I'm Grateful!"

It is not what was done, rather what He allowed, in order to prune the irrelevant, for a path to plow. "I'm Grateful!"

I first understood not, for it is not about you, irrespective of the fact, that it is happening to you. "I'm Grateful!"

It is about Him, and what He has deposited within, in order to demonstrate His might, their defeat, which culminates to your win. "I'm Grateful!"

I fear not what I can't see, because my sight is by Faith. So, whatever takes aim at me, is nothing but a waste. "I'm Grateful!"

No need to stand in line, in order to receive what is mine. When your Faith has been restored, your sight is no longer blind.

"Where I'll Start...Turn the Page"

Life is not about how you start, but indeed how you finish. So, as you are crossing the finish line in this chapter of your Life, you may not be able to restart what you have just concluded, but you can and should will yourself to start the next chapter of your Life better off than you did the previous.

Do not spurn what you have learned, just because it is not your turn. For no one exits their season of harvest empty-handed when the sole purpose was to replenish your soul with all that was missing before.

Trust that what is meant for you has a non-transferable clause affixed to it. Therefore when the blessings have your name squarely written on them, no one else can cash them in because they are not, nor do they represent, you.

Customized Blessings are like tailor-made suits. They never quite fit the way they will undoubtedly fit the intended recipient, who they were initially made for. So, do not worry yourself about what someone else has or have going on. It has their name written on it. And soon enough, yours will too.

With that said, forge through your Life knowing that irrespective of what others have, you too have something that they do not have in the form of customized Blessings that they too cannot cash in because they are not, nor do they represent, you.

When you know that you have something on the horizon that awaits you, you are then able to walk about and be about your business with joy in your heart, Love in your Spirit and Peace within your soul.

Joy, Peace and happiness unified, the single source to that of my heart. By way of Love, that is "Where I'll Start" the next chapter of my Life, compliments of joy, Peace and happiness.

The next chapter just requires one thing for you to do: "Turn the Page."

Smile and have a wonderfully Blessed day!

"Happiness Ball"

As a child, there was no bigger spoiler than, and I never quite understood the person, that would get upset and selfishly take their ball and go home.  I never knew that the significance of this would become such an incredible Life lesson that would continue to give in the form of understanding what is most important in Life.

Whenever this event occurred, it was a sour moment for all that were involved, those who were participating and playing with the source of our perceived happiness.  And then, just like that, the ball and our happiness along with the owner were gone, for whatever reason, mostly and unfortunately out of selfishness.
 
Years later as I reflect back on this same event that repeats itself across playgrounds all around the world, I am thankful for the seed of inspiration that has been planted in order for the experience to take root and spring forth an understanding that is more rewarding than playing with that ball to begin with.  You see Life is not about what happens to you, but instead how you respond to the things that happen to you in Life.
 
It is easy for your happiness to be sabotaged when you are dependent upon someone else to define your happiness.
 
That happiness resides within you! 

By the time you arrive at Life's playground to play, your happiness should have directed and lead the way.  So, if and when that ball is taken away, it matters not because your joy and happiness are both here to stay!
 
The same rule applies to relationships as well.  Do not look for someone to make you happy or to complete you.  You should already be happy and complete by the time and before you even first meet.  That way you will be able to add to that happiness and have a deeper sense of completion.  You wouldn't dare turn in a paper to your teacher or professor that wasn't complete expecting them to complete it for you or on your behalf, would you?  So why would you offer yourself in the same form for someone else to complete?  Afterall, what if you did not like the results of what was completed and it was not the best representation of you?  Then you would have no one else to blame, but you.  For only you can best represent you.  No one else can do it better than you.
 
So, in order to avoid that, fill your own void with Love and happiness and do not allow either to be sabotaged and remain independent so no one else has the right or the privilege to define your happiness.
 
And irrespective of which one of Life's playgrounds that you find yourself on, you will already be in possession of your very own "Happiness Ball."  It is better than that other thing that they say you should never leave home without.

Smile and have a wonderfully happy and Blessed day!

"Adhere to the Call"

It may be painful, but you cannot consciously nor subconsciously ignore the call of God when He is summoning you to be bigger than what you are, to go further than where you are, to think bigger than you currently are, to see bigger than you know you are and to be wiser than you think you are.

The pain that you experience is not the pain of Loving God, but is relative to the growing pains that you must endure in order to alter who you once were, to becoming who God needs you to be!

The pain is strictly contingent upon our willingness to change and the accompanying stubbornness that we have grown to expect of ourselves.

But God's Glory is not contained within our inabilities, rather His Glory is contained within our abilities that we acquire once we start to grow through Him.

The more that we selflessly give of ourselves the more that He selflessly gives of Himself. But the capacity of us to Him is not a simple 1:1, rather a 1:Many that really cannot be quantified within the realm of our comprehension.

Our only requirement is that of trust in what He has done and will continue to do in our lives should we satisfy the single requirement of trust, that will afford us the wonderful opportunity to believe in everything that we have yet to see, but know that He has already done.

Have you ever heard His voice speaking to you in your Life before?

Did you not answer for fear of the acceptance of change that would accompany the acknowledgment of His voice?

Where were you when you first heard God calling your name?

Confront the fear that has been anchoring you down and "Adhere to the Call" as soon as you hear the sound, of His voice.

"Full of His Glory!"

My heart is aflutter,
My words I no longer stutter,
And I have been raised all the way up to the mansions,
From that of the humble beginnings of the gutter.

You do what You say,
You did what You said,
And here I am,
Able to stand,
With an insatiable appetite,
That is constantly being Spiritually fed.

The weight of my burdens have been eased,
By the weight of Your righteousness.

To do what you feel,
To be what you believe,
To live a Life trusting in You,
You conceived,
Therefore, I achieve.

Your seed was planted,
And even when it was taken for granted,
Your Grace and Mercy,
Replanted.

I have emptied self of self,
Completely abandoning the shell of Corey,
To God I give it all,
For I am now,

"Stronger and Wiser"

You will always be able to derive some form of positivity from any negative situation, so long as you train yourself to focus on the silver lining that exists within each and every one of those dark clouds. For those dark clouds were not meant to destroy you, but were designed to make you "Stronger."

The Life experiences that you grow through were not meant to make you feel intellectually or socially inadequate or inept. The silver lining is that they were designed to make you "Wiser."

The combination of the two will help you solidify what you once thought and what you now know, were designed to make you both "Stronger and Wiser."

A big thank you to my enemies for pushing me away and shunning me. For your ignorance forbid you to know that you were actually working on His behalf and pushing me even closer to Him. Who, but God to orchestrate His plan to perfection? Rhetorical, but I do thank you for your participation in the elevation of my strength and wisdom.

God will use your enemies as your foot stool in order to lift you higher, well above the fray, irrespective of what is aimed at or comes your way. For it matters not when you become "Stronger and Wiser" as well as knowledgeable with respect to WHO is actually calling the shots.

I Love and adore the Lord with my whole heart!

The depths of my past were not deep enough to contain me and not allow God to bring me up out of them and destroy the malicious intentions of those that were not aware of not "who I am," but, "Who's I am."

"Stronger and Wiser!"

Therefore, I will sing the Praises of the Lord for all of the days of my Life, until the consumption of my very last breath!

Residing in weakness with a community of ignorance has no place in God's Gated Community of "Stronger and Wiser."

"Heart to Heart Resuscitation"

When I used to wake up to those loveless days, it was because I was Spiritually DOA. But when the Spirit touched my soul and performed "Heart to Heart Resuscitation" I came alive and felt compelled and obliged to live, to Love and to get up from lying down in a state of defeat just because my feet were tired and weary from walking down the wrong paths in search of.

Instead, at the direction of the Spirit, I became strong in Love by standing up in the name of, to never again neglect the Promise of Love just because someone once broke their Promise of Love, to me.
No more elaborate pity parties where the host, guest and late arrivals were all synonymous with the host, guest and late arrivals.

When I got up from being flatlined in Love, I did the best thing that one can do for oneself. I fell back in Love with me all over again. Vain it is not, but paramount to the example of Love, it is. For if I Love me the way that He so Loves me, then I will never allow anyone to Love me less than, ever again.

Deeply marinated in the broth of God's Love, I devoured the contents in order to allow the consumption to guide my direction, forever protecting my heart from the ones that chose to depart. And now, my heart is smart! Intelligent Love that intellectually speaks to my heart, thus providing me with the nutrients that shall never depart from within and keeping those without, from ever gaining access again.

"Heart to Heart Resuscitation" gave me another chance at Love and until my heart beats within the hands of Christ, may I Love the way that He Loves so that I may never Love you less than, irrespective of the variance of my Love to that of yours.

An intelligent Love reaches a receptive heart and true Love shall not ever part, unless it is to bring you even closer to a deeper Love that is to be experienced by way of the deepest Love, in order to bring to your surface the existence and presentation of Love, as it invades the existence that is lying there, Spiritually DOA, until the performance of the same "Heart to Heart Resuscitation" touches their soul, bringing them back to Life, compelling and obliging them to live, to Love and to get up from lying down in a state of defeat as they now sprint down the right path, no longer in search of what already exists within themselves.

A healthy heart can only heal an unhealthy heart and make whole that broken heart. Allow my healthy heart to touch your unhealthy or broken heart as these words perform "Heart to Heart Resuscitation."

May we grow deeper in Love, no longer searching for what now exists in every aspect of our lives. For we now represent Love and instead of searching for, like Love will be drawn to like Love in the form of more Love, to be recognized and acknowledged by the intellectual Love that brought you back from being dead in, to being alive again, due in every part, to "Heart to Heart Resuscitation."

King Jesus! He got up!

"Instead, Love!"

There always exists an opportunity to do something and or to be someone that serves a cause that expands beyond the circumference of your existence.

The Faithful know this to be true, but human nature mandates reminders that our hearts are indeed Faithful and should not be swayed to a destination that is void of direction and minus the protection of God's Faithfulness to us. One might be able to regift, but it is not necessary to refact the fact, that what we do and who we become is not unknown to God.

Therefore, Love, irrespective of the hate that wants you to hate. Continue to always subscribe to something bigger and better, preferably the latter. And focus not on the mindset of those that are small and ultimately, do not even matter.

"Instead, Love!"

"I Look Back Not to Go Back, But to Bare Witness to Just How Far I Have Come"

I wake up in the middle of the night, with yet another Blog in which to write. But why do I pretend to be surprised, when it is Christ who's vision that I see through my eyes. He wakes me in order to task me ever since He asked, "who shall I send," and I was bold enough to say, "why doesn't He ask me?"

After all that He has done, I will gladly go and do work on behalf of the Son. I know not the limitations that used to define me. He relinquished their grasp in order for me to find me. And as a microscopic gesture of my appreciation, the manner in which I shall live my Life will serve as a Loving dedication to the Who, What, Where and Why with total respect to my Spiritual elevation.

"Bigger Than All I Can See"

The vision that is within me cannot be contained to an internal address that is only known by the visionary.

Although it is customary to internalize your vision until it needs to be realized, I would much rather live my vision externally for others to realize how it is composed internally, thus living the vision as it materializes into the purpose that has been planned specifically for it.

Living in transparency gives way to privacy, but still yields to the delicacy of intimacy. For you do not have to reveal it all, in order to be an example to all.

Every single one of my visions are bigger than my abilities, but are all possible through God's certainty, as I avail myself deliberately, in order to convey messages authoritatively. As an act of contrition, I humble myself, in gentle submission.

And then He replenishes me. For my Faith is "Bigger Than All I Can See."

Chapter 1: “When You’ve Been Blessed”

Snippet:

"When You've Been Blessed" you most certainly need to share in your Blessings with those that may have been less fortunate or not AS fortunate as the Blessing that has been bestowed upon you. You thus create your continued Blessings by being one TO someone. Why would God not Bless the ones that are Blessing others?

The reciprocity of Blessings is more important than the actual Blessing itself. Should you do nothing with it and not pass it on, it was insultingly all for naught.

My Mother used to say, "people are in your Life for seasons or reasons. It is not up to us to determine which one they are here for, but it is up to us to make the best of it, the most out of it and treat the participation in our lives as a Blessing: good, bad and otherwise."

I Pray that every Life that crosses paths with my Life is made better, whether or not I know it or not. The only thing that I can do, is my part. Therefore, I shall play my position, practice my role and be the best that I can be at ALL times, since the best is expected of me, at ALL times.

"Through Him and because of Him"

My life has already been outlined for me to meticulously color in between the lines with as much flavor and color as I can muster, to demonstrate that NOTHING about me is impossible. "Through Him and because of Him," I'mPossible!

"Back on My Feet"

I was down, but I was far from out,
My familiarity with God's Grace and Mercy was that it was only mapping out a much better route

I stay on my knees and I will always give Him the Glory,
I may indeed be the author, but He is the only publisher to and for my story

I had time to reflect, irrespective of the presence of a paycheck,
Thank You Jesus because when I need a deposit, Your funds are always direct

Where I would be is unbeknownst to me,
But the presence of adversity only brings me closer to my Heavenly

I am grateful, I am humble,
By myself I trip and fall, but with the Lord, I only stumble

Nothing but reminders,
Of what it was once like moving about with peripheral blinders

I now see both vertically and horizontally,
My God, I Thank You for always keeping me

You've kept me in your midst and no more than an arms length away,
I fear not, I hear Your voice, and even in my weakness, I shall not ever stray

The words of gratitude escape my penmanship,
But my heart knows the depths of my eternal relationship, with You

May my thoughts, words, and actions disappoint You not,
I'm here, I'm Yours, and I inhabit the space that You have designated as my spot

To You, I give all of the Glory,
Thank You for my presence, and allowing me to write this part of the story

Thank You Lord, for putting me "Back on My Feet."

Smile and Have a Wonderfully Blessed Day!

"Within the Vacancy of Our Availability"

Sometimes the need for change falls on deaf ears, but as soon as we avail ourselves, we then begin to find ourselves with visibility into the bigger scheme of things.

Subsequently, our participation with what we perceived to be "inaction" that was directed by our "action," further demonstrating to the "who and what" the power of "Love and Understanding" and what it is capable of accomplishing, "Within the Vacancy of Our Availability."

All of the combined forces within the world still cannot conjure up enough strength to overpower the strength of Love, that sustains us, replenishes us, nurture's us, provides for us and ultimately protects us against the violent destruction of Love that anything but Love will try to commit.

We cannot underestimate the power that this destruction yields, but it matters not when you know that you already have the victory and it is just a matter of time before destruction boxes itself out, relentlessly and aimlessly trying to chop down an indestructible force of nature, "That of Love."

"It Is Within You!"

With all of the things that we grow through in our lives, sometimes it appears that Life just isn't fair. But, in an all encompassing nutshell, it is quite the contrary!

I have found that the things that we need and want most in our lives, we are already in possession of. We just have to start looking within ourselves instead of always looking around, for the very things that we already hold and have.

That Blessing didn't just fall out of your pocket. And even if it did, it is non-transferable, for it cannot be redeemed by no one other than the name that is written on it. "It Is Within You!"

Look not on the exterior of you, but on the interior where others have no view and discover all of the hidden treasures that God has intentionally placed and strategically left, solely for you!

Stop looking around!

For it is not on the outside!

"It Is Within You!"

"Remnants of Your Past"

In an attempt to offer up a healthy plate of distraction, you may find yourself confronted with "Remnants of Your Past" that desperately want to get reacquainted with what was foolishly left behind.

But the past is nestled in the rearview where it belongs although you can conjure up a heart of gratefulness that what could have been your future is behind you, getting smaller and smaller as you find yourself traveling farther and farther away, from the "Remnants of Your Past."

"Held Onto Your Faith"

The irony in all that was no more was in the fact that it was not lost nor stolen, but relinquished. You see no one can steal something from within you unless you relinquish it from within your possession. You do not lose anything that has been deposited within you, unless you withdraw it and offer it up in lieu of something else.

Your Faith,
Your Love,
Your Joy,
Your Happiness,
Your Attitude,
Your Sanity,
Your Security,
Your Inner Being.

They are neither lost nor stolen, but relinquished at a cost that was not affordable to begin with and should not have been bartered in order to alter how someone else feels about themselves.

Do not re-gift what God has gifted you, especially since the sacrifice of Jesus is represented as the gift receipt. We will never know the true price since it was not us that initially paid for it. But, that does not mean that we cannot appreciate the gift itself.

It matters not what is before you. For one day you shall look back and be grateful to God that you "Held Onto Your Faith" and relinquished it not, to the dismay of the receiver that never gives and to the delight of the giver, that gave it all!

Hold onto to your Faith NOW! In future retrospect your heart will be filled with joy knowing that you "Held Onto Your Faith," and relinquished it not!

"God Is God All By Himself"

Before I author the conclusion to any story, I grasp and hold tight and near that of God's gracious glory.

Plenty and entirely too many times we write the ending prior to factoring in God's beginning. Where we end by way of our logical efforts is exactly where God begins by way of His miraculous efforts.

God is God All by Himself!

For what we can offer Him by way of assistance is equivalent to exponential insults.

But what we can offer ourselves by way of God's assistance is no less equivalent than exponential Blessings.

So, before we write the conclusion to our stories, we must right ourselves within God's glory and obtain the type of assistance that we cannot conjure up for ourselves, hence the reason, "God is God All by Himself!"

Glory Be To God!

"Unspoken Words"

Everyone should learn how to read the "Unspoken Words" that emanate from the actions and gestures of those that are closest to us. Everyone will not and some do not know how to verbalize their innermost, sensitive thoughts. But that does not mean that they do not have the desire to share in them. They just might not know how to or are too afraid.

But their "Unspoken Words" need to be communicated and if we pay close enough attention to what has not been verbally communicated, we might find ourselves in the right place, at the right time, counseling and comforting someone that needs our ears to hear, our thoughts to share or the warmth from our embrace.

"Unspoken Words" are still words! They are just words that have to be read with the heart, by first identifying that something needs to be said followed up with the mindful consideration that you may have to extract it from someone that truly and desperately wants to share it with you anyway.

Look for those "Unspoken Words" that are written all around you.

Listen to those same "Unspoken Words" that you can hear all around you.

Answer the "Unspoken Words" that were not written for you to read and not said in order for you to hear. And notice that the common denominator for all of the above is and has been, "you."

"You" are the difference between what is not written and what is not stated since it is "you" that has the gift to discern and the gift to make the difference with complete respect to Life's "Unspoken Words."

"Made Whole Again"

Trials throughout Life, in their greatest of efforts, try to rip you apart. But that effort is strictly contingent upon your perspective. You see, everything is not what it appears to be and oft times what we think was meant to destroy us was actually meant to construct us, hence the contingency upon said perspective.

We see what our vision allows us to see by way of our approach to what we have seen. In other words, our vision alone is not sufficient in order for us to see all that needs to be seen. Our efforts and our efforts alone are not sufficient enough to do all that needs to be done.

We respond within the confines of our limited vision because it is there where we have chosen to stockpile our Faith. But Faith is not defined solely in what we see. Truth be told, Faith's primary residence has no need for a secondary residence because it only resides within itself.

Faith's front door is its back door. Faith's front yard is its back yard. Faith's street address, zip and area codes are Faith's street address, zip and area codes.

What we thought was meant to destroy us, by Faith, was meant to build us up by way of constructing within us, the proper infrastructure to one day be able to reflect back or acknowledge right in the middle and during all of our trials, that from my perspective, I have been, "Made Whole Again."

"Things Have Changed"

Adamantly, we hold our positions in hopes that our new surroundings will comply to the old ways in which we used to do things. Used to in the sense that irrespective of our hard stance, we are destined to change or face the future chained to ways, practices and habits that left us behind as the rest of Life continued to move about within said winds of change.

Everything around and about us is demonstrative of what needs to occur within us, if we are to elevate ourselves to a higher plane or soar within the confines of a noun baring the same name.

As the eyes of admiration are upon the new, it should be abundantly clear from the view, that "Things Have Changed."

"Hence the Reason"

There will always be someone or something lurking in your midst to attempt to steer you off track and more importantly to get you off of God's track. There is an abundance of negativity due to a lack of and poor visibility. But where we stand is by far and will take us much farther than if we were to never stand, more importantly, take a stand for someone or something that is representative and demonstrative of positivity, in the form of Heavenly.

We will never be perfect enough to perfectly live up, but we shall always be perfect enough to get up, each and every time we find ourselves anywhere BUT, standing!

We may never be perfect in our own eyes, but we shall always be perfect in the eyes of God, through the intercession of the intersection called Jesus's Way.

"Hence the Reason," why the sweet name of Jesus shall forever remain, never removed, from and on, the tip of tongue.

"By Any Other Petal"

My eyes were the last to witness the true essence of an existence that denial claimed to not be true. But Jesus knew exactly when and where He would reveal what I needed to see, in order for me to garner better visibility.

You see the last will be first, and the first will be last. Glory be for delivering me from such an egregious past. But the past is exactly where it belongs and my heart knows Who it is, that I belong.

Discovery is the main ingredient for recovery! Worth repeating: Discovery, is the main ingredient, for Recovery!

The beauty extends beyond the beauty that is contained within, but the purpose of the exterior is to protect the beauty, that is contained within.

The petals that contribute to the beauty of a rose are not in denial regarding their reciprocated importance. Its last petal shall be the first petal. And the first petal shall be the last petal.

Irrespective of the position of the petals, "By Any Other Petal," it is still a rose and it knows, Who, it belongs to.

Visibility has never been so clear, in Jesus's time!

"Blossom Into"

The destination is just the name of the place that we believe to be the conclusion of our trip. But in all actuality, the destination is the arrival of us to that place that is really the starting point for the next trip.

The conclusion is not within the arrival to a destination, the conclusion is the starting point for the next, should your inclination be charted down a path that is permanently indicative of growth.

Never forgo any opportunity for said growth. You never know what you just might "Blossom Into."

"Let Love Unfold"

Somewhere tucked away we have hidden our innermost feelings relative to the untold.

We move collaboratively with ourselves and no one else and wonder why our stories are never told.

We grant ourselves permission to remain anonymously in touch with Love although Love requires to know us on at least a first name basis.
But folded and tucked away exists our hidden and concealed faces.

The security blanket that offers anything but, might be neat in its existence. But I challenge your heart to "Let Love Unfold" and to relinquish all resistance.

"Heavenly Truth"

Talking to a friend of mine, he echoed sentiments that I concurred with at no less than 100%. That God will and does use you whether or not you know it or not. Taking it a step further, God will use you with or without your permission. Imagine God actually asking you to play a part in His already laid plan in order to carry out His Will. Such a question shall never arrive within your inbox. And there will be no need to check the junk mail folder because it will not be found there either.

Marinated in the truth.
Gated perimeter containing said truth.

"Higher Mountains: You Cannot Scale What You Are Afraid to Climb!"

Now that the fear of heights has been conquered, it is high time to take it and me higher. Funny how we wind up being our very own obstacles and road blocks on our very own paths in Life. "You Cannot Scale What You Are Afraid to Climb!"

Exceedingly and abundantly confident that the mountains before me only serve as a preamble to the victory that is behind me.

If my destiny is perched high up that mountaintop, how would I have ever been victorious had I not conquered said fear of heights? "You Cannot Scale What You Are Afraid to Climb!"

If the top of that mountain brings me closer to Jesus, who is waiting to distribute my victory in the form of my purpose and my destiny, then hinder me not from climbing higher so that He can take me farther. "You Cannot Scale What You Are Afraid to Climb!"

And when I reach that mountaintop, allow me to bask in the glory of Christ, albeit temporary. So long as their is breath in my lungs, there is work to do, scaling what I was once afraid of, but no more, for "You Cannot Scale What You Are Afraid to Climb!"

Lose the fear and climb even higher!

"Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

Irrespective of whatever permeates my surroundings in the form of negative energy..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

Gazing up to stare into the eyes of defeat..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

Sunshine in the form of my Smile on those cloudy and seemingly dark days..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

Moving forward with no preset itinerary, just trust and Faith in the Lord..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

Seeing victory anyway, when all that I hear, am hearing and have heard is defeat..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

Conscious of my subconscious thoughts and Praising the Lord for modifying them accordingly..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

Getting back up after having been down for so long because..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

Visualizing the finish line even before having laced my shoes..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

Seeing myself walk across that stage as I graduated because I knew..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

Resuscitating my future after living in a dead past for so long..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

Giving God the glory for giving me the story that proves to be bigger than me because greater is He..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

No mixed emotions as my devotion to Him is accompanied with zero ambiguity..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

In the face of adversity and attempting to mock what is within me..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

And if I were to ever grow weary and tired standing next to victory, Lord replenish me, so that..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

Next to You..."Triumphantly, I Will Stand!"

"Therein Lies Your Best, That is Yet to Come"

The strength of the weakened is replenished by the source of strength of the strong. If energy never dies and it is just transferred, Pray for strength as your resources are called upon to make someone else strong or stronger in their attempt at defying the odds by plotting a path for themselves, forever altering the landscape of their existence that would include peripheral components that now Smile in the wake of your generosity.

Do not sleep or rest when an opportunity presents itself to make a change, orchestrate a change, facilitate a change or step out from the shadows and BE that change, that source, of that strength, that now Smiles.

Stepping up often translates to stepping out of your comfort zone into an area that might not seem palatable at first, but the most rewarding by way of nourishment for your heart and soul at best.

Growth is not obtained within your confined area. And strength is stronger than what you can muster. "Therein Lies Your Best, That is Yet to Come."

"Card for Mom"

On my lunch break, in the Hallmark store shopping for Christmas cards for my children and right next to their cards were the cards for Mothers. I picked up the first one and didn't even bother picking up anymore, for the message in that one, said it all.

Then I started thinking about the last time that I had the opportunity to buy My Mother a Christmas card. It was December 2006...that was the last time. I had no idea what would be in store, less than one year later.

I didn't relinquish my sanity into a heap of emotional hysterics, but it did take me back as I stood right in the middle of the aisle, reading the card and reminiscing on how I used to pick out Mother's cards. You see if it did not speak to me, then I knew that it would not speak to her. And I was able to discern that at first glance. My goal is to apply that same philosophical approach in all aspects of my Life.

Smile.

It is the little things such as card shopping in the Hallmark store at this time of year. But Glory Be To God, for I still have Loved ones to buy Christmas cards for. It might not be the same, but the Love is no less than and for that, I am grateful, STILL!

I shall always cherish the memories of my time in the Hallmark store looking for a Christmas "Card for Mom."

"Man Plans, But God Decides"

We were supposed to be departing Malaysia and did not have time to make three more quick stops to see so many more people. But low and behold, we found the time, made the time and I am forever grateful that we changed our minds.

We walked into their home and the first thing that you notice was the garland draped photo of this handsome young man, younger than I. Standing there were his two children. The eldest, his son, standing, bald cut, strong and brave for he was now the man of the house. His daughter, the baby, so eloquently beautiful, vastly unaware of the meaning of the outpouring of support for her Father. Then there was the children's Mother, his wife. A beautiful, but fragile frame, there to greet us in her home as they were mourning the loss of her husband, their Father and her son.

You see we had not the time to make these additional stops...."Man Plans, But God Decides" and I am so grateful that the Lord made the decision to alter my plans and lead me to this hurting family.

It was an honor to embrace them as My Mother was once embraced 27 years prior as she too was hurting and mourning the loss of her son, my brother, as I too, stood there, the man of the house, welcoming people into our home in order for them to pay their respects.

The Laws of Reciprocity dictated exactly where I needed to be, whom I needed to be with and my participation in the moment that could possibly positively alter or define someone else's Life at the crossroads, a point in their lives where such an impact needed to be made.

And there Jesus was, directing my path, to fulfil His purpose, by using my experience to demonstrate Love and compassion to a family that just lost so much in one fell swoop. This beautiful family has forever changed my Life and I shall always remember them, Pray for them and hold them near and dear to my heart, with every beat.

Such a strong woman sitting there mourning her son, cracking a Smile, shedding some tears, talking with me and allowing me to capture her likeness in all of her Motherly Glory. And if you know not the strength of a Mother's Love, it would behoove you to become "better" acquainted with it because it is very real, it never dies and it forever sustains you, bridging the gap in your absence by reminding those left behind of your presence.

And here she is, his Mother.
