As I sit and reflect on somethings in my life...my present..my past. What a journey this has been for me. Wondering how did ever make it through the heartache and the pain. But I now know it was only God molding me into the person that I am today. For once in my life I can truly say I love the person I see in the mirror every morning. My true self..the person God wants me to be. So Thankful for His presence in my life. But I know this walk that I'm on is far from over it's just the beginning. For we walk by faith, not by sight.' II Corinthians 5:7”
In my mind my best days ahead of me...I'm walking...with my best mindset..Walking with Faith...with my head held high..and wearing a smile on my face. Walking at a pace that I don't even understand. My stride can't be broken..I'm unstoppable..I'm moving forward and I won't let anyway stand in my way. I see all this for myself. God's vision for me is clear as ever. And I love what I see. My walk has a lot of bumps in the road but I overcame them with each step and with each tear and kept right on walking... even when I wanted to give up... but my spirit wouldn't let me. But for once in my life I can honestly say I'm at a good place in my life...a place of peace & happiness..something that I thought I could never have. But God gave it to me and in abundance. I know everyone won't understand my walk and some won't like my walk. But I will keep right on walking..right on past them. I know God will continually lead and guide my steps, as long as I let Him!!! So I know only great things are coming my way..I claim it and I know without doubt God will give it to me!!! My journey has made me into the person I am today...and for that I'm forever thankful to God. God gives us life experiences. He gives us these experiences not to punish us but to share with others. And this is my mindset going forward. God is changing me...I look forward to pursuing on and doing God's will. God bless you all and keep Walking With Faith.... Everyday!!! PEACE & HAPPINESS ~~~MARI~~~ Change...something will all go through whether its good or bad, its Life. In order to make a change in your life you have to go through some changes within yourself. So you can have the life God has for you and so you can be the person you were meant to be.
Change sometimes its for our own good even when we can not see it, and especially when we need it the most.. but when you do finally start to see the changes in yourself and in your life for the better... its then when you realize...Change is exactly what you needed. You can Thank God for that. At this very moment some of us are dealing with this thought in our minds...cause finally you have come to the realization that you are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Because you know in your mind there is more to life than being stagnant and stuck in dead end situations and circumstances and you are slowly letting life past you by.... living without meaning and purpose. But yet and still some of us are afraid to take that leap of Faith and do what God wants us to do but instead we let doubt sit in our minds...that ain't none thing but the devil telling you that you can't do it...But God says different..we are able to do everything God wants us to do .Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." God wants this to be the best time of your life. And I want it too. I'm ready For A Change!!! I'm letting God guide me on this journey..I know at times I won't understand it but I will not question His will for me. I will look at every experience and circumstance as encouragement and motivation to step out, go forth, and get started on living the life promised to me by God because I know He loves me and He only wants the best for me. I can't be afraid of change...Because I know God will not give me something new until I get rid of something old...Just thinking about my destiny..a better Life and even better Me..I'm Embracing Change with a smile on my face!!! Everyone cannot go where God is taking you..some people in your life are not meant to be on this journey with you. Sometimes you have to step back and look at who's on your team. Who is speaking faith into your life? Who are you giving your time and energy too? Are they building you up or tearing you down? Is it really worth it to put up with drama and nonsense at the expense of someone else? A lot of times we know certain people are not good for us but we are scared to make a change for fear of being lonely. You may be lonely for a season but you never give up something for God that He doesn’t give you something back better in return. Make the change, God will only give you something Better. As for me I have come to the conclusion that I can't have people in my life that's not making it better or not bringing joy & happiness into it. I refuse to be defeated by circumstances that I can control.This has been a struggle for me to let go of people that I love and care about. But at the same time I love myself more. Changing for the better is hard at times but we must all know that we are deserving and worthy of the life God has for us and we must starting living like it. I'm Ready for a Change...or You???? PEACE & BLESSINGS ***MARI*** |
