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

You are 1 in 8+ billion

Ponder this:

There is an old saying, “You are one in a million.” There are over 8 billion people in the world today. No two are the same. Truth is: “You are 1 in 8+ billion!”

So, be you.

Let go of societies megaphone stirring up strife through illusions. Let go of religious rituals that would have you place your faith in a man’s word standing at the pulpit instead of in our true Creator. Let go of the Spirit of Offense that permeates all public venues. Walk in the Spirit of Love and forgiveness.

Be brave, be bold, be courageous, be meek, be gentle, be kind, be whatever you were created to be. Accept that you alone have the authority to choose your thoughts and live your life the way you understand the Creator created you to live it.

If you’ve lost your way, no worries. The door to who you really are waits patiently inside you. All you have to do is ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

You are unique and very special to our Creator. You are greatly loved. You were created because the world needs you at this particular time.

You are 1 in 8+ billion.
Thank you for being you. 💞

Share your brightness

To someone you are a bright spot just by being alive. An authentic brilliant color in a world full of dull illusions.

Remind yourself of the light within you. Treat yourself to some brightness. Soak up a little sun on a daily walk. Look for bright colors, make it like the kids game we played, “I spy something blue!”

Get some food coloring and bake a batch of colorful cupcakes. Baking isn’t your thing? No worries, buy some cupcakes at your local bakery, get a bottle of sprinkles, overload the frosting with color.

Share the sweetness. Invite someone to walk in the sun with you (the “I spy” game is more fun with two). Give a colorful cupcake to someone you run across during the day.

Practice kindness on purpose. Start with yourself. Fill your cup up and let it overflow to others.
