Collapse Time

Plan A often goes awry
So it’s all about
How you handle Plan B
And Plan C thru Z

Be flexible
Be prepared to turn
On a dime

Set your intentions
Chart your course
But remember
They are not cast in stone

You can always
Adjust or change your path
As circumstances arise

The most important thing
Is to remind yourself
WHY
You desire your intention

Allow yourself
To fully feel
Your why

Then get lost in
Your perceived feeling
Of the moment when you
Accomplish your intention

Collapse time
Feel it as if it is happening
Right now

Whatever

If you have something bad
To say about me
Don’t bother saying it to my face

Say it to someone else
I don’t have the time or
The inclination to listen

You are speaking
Out of your perspective
Not from my shoes

I know all too well
The truth about myself
Much deeper than you ever could

The mistakes I have made
The things I have failed at
The people I have hurt

And so does God
If He can forgive me
Then I can forgive you

So talk to your hearts content
Say whatever you choose
I have been forgiven

And no longer
Have anything
To lose

Feel this moment

One day
When there is no darkness
When the gates of the City
Are continuously open
I will relax in a mansion
A place prepared for me

Until then
I will remain a warrior
Wearing the full armor of God
With oil for my lamp
Standing in Spiritual battle
For the King of Kings

Remembering
To fully feel
Each moment
Good or bad
My journey through
This earth brings

Revelation 21
Ephesians 6
Matthew 25
Ephesians 3

Ignore impulse

Every day
When we wake up
We can choose
How we will face the day

Every minute
Throughout the day
We can choose
How to experience the day

Lord help me
To choose calm
When exploding
Is how I am wired to react

To think more
Strategically
When diving in
Is my first response

To pause
When the gauntlet
Is thrown down
And let it lay where if falls

Rule your own Kingdom

My mind is a kingdom
That only I can rule

It tries
To triumph over me
With scattered thoughts
Confused emotions
At times
It does not seem
That I am
It’s Queen regnant
At all

My mind can only serve
And it must serve only me

I remind myself
This kingdom is a gift
From God
It was given to me
To serve whatever purpose
I perceive
I am in control of directing it
No matter how futile
That may sometimes seem

I thus direct my mind
Which I alone can rule

Change up your thoughts
Ignore illusions and confusion
Focus on desires
That lift the Spirit and
Raise vibrations higher
Let go of every fear
Remain curious
Expand your experiences
Be bold, be courageous

This kingdom is yours
Rule it fiercely

A few more minutes

I had been hiking for longer than planned when I passed the lake (shown in a previous video). I told myself to keep going, just five more minutes. Then I heard the water rushing a little faster down the mountain. When hiking through the mountains, in as little as five minutes, the scenery can dramatically change.

Often in life we get tired, feel like turning around, going home. But we will never really know where our journey might take us if we stop short.

Wherever you are in life, keep going, in a few minutes things can change and something spectacular may occur.
