Expectations

Wow do you ever see how what we expect to happen can get in the way of what truly happens. We have to learn to turn our expectations off. That is so very hard to do!!

We have a picture in our mind of things going a certain way and getting excited about it, only to have it go a different way. Sometimes we get surprised for the good, sometimes we get surprised for the bad.

We just have to learn to roll with life, and roll with things in life. Just because something SEEMS bad for us doesn’t mean that it IS bad for us. Just because we seem to be held in a hard pattern for a season doesn’t mean we will be there forever.

God is large and in charge of everything!! He can make a way where there is no way!! He can make something out of nothing!! He has done it many times. We always need to stay in relationship with Him and hear His still small voice. Even in the face of adversity and opposition!! He is the voice of truth.

We don’t have to act like everything is fine if it isn’t. We have to learn how to deal with things!! We have to learn how to face reality but have faith also!! Sometimes it seems so hard to understand how to do that. It’s a fine line to act like something doesn’t exist (which is denial) and to actually deal with what is going on and have faith doing it. Make sense?

An example is, if your body needs healing, you don’t just say that the illness is not there, you do everything possible to help bring your body to healing and trust God for the things that you can’t possibly do. Sometimes He shows up and zaps that thing gone, sometimes He doesn’t. That is when we just have to trust that He knows more about our life than we do…Lots of times just that trust can bring healing in many ways.

Many times there are solutions in life that we don’t understand. We want it to go one way but God is showing us another way. I encourage you to just keep listening to the voice of truth. Don’t give up!! He will make a road in The wilderness, He will make a way where there is no way. He will provide a way of escape!!

Don’t give up❤️

He will make a way ❤️

He knows all❤️

We don’t ❤️

Enjoy your day ❤️

See you soon❤️

Peace in the storm

So glad that one of the things I have learned in all of my calamities and “storms” of life is to have peace while going through. I can’t say that I don’t have some feelings, and I can’t say that it’s not scary and rocky, but it is well with my soul.

That’s one of the best things about having a Heavenly Father, He takes the load off. If your Heavenly Father isn’t doing that for you, you don’t understand Him. He’s like a good, good Father with open arms. He’s not mad at you, He loves you.

That’s why it’s so good to rest in Him and be peaceful in the midst of the storm. It calms everything down…it’s calms you down and everyone around you down.

I’m really grateful to have learned those tools in recovery. I don’t have to fix everything, I don’t have to worry about everything. I can back off from things that don’t serve me well. There are solutions in life.

As I get ready to launch my book, there are obstacles every day. I try to focus on all the things I am learning and the things I have accomplished instead of the things that are hard and seeming to trip me up. It’s amazing that I’ve even got this far.

I have found that if I am aligned properly and doing what I am called to do, there is peace, peace that passes all understanding. There’s no place that I would rather be. I would have never made it without it. It’s for anyone, for free.

I hope that you can sit down today and let it all go and let God do His thing in you. You are worth it and He loves you.

Be still…❤️

He’s got this…❤️

You don’t have to do it all…❤️

Just rest…❤️

See you soon❤️

New launch day!

Well some of you are on my launch page on Facebook… I didn’t add everyone I know but I did want to give you all the opportunity to get on if you want. I would put the link on here too it but honestly haven’t figured out how to add links on here just yet…😬 Still learning so many things!! The page is called Shift Happens Book Launch Tribe… if you want to, request getting on or just send me a message on here and let me know so I will send you a copy to your email, and then Sept. 26th you can review on Amazon!! The main thing is to make me know your email and you want to review. I am coaching people on that page how to do it!!

This has been an exciting ride…I think for some odd reason I have actually reached the point where I love being stretched!! I think I have been stretched so much in my life that it just feels like that’s the way it supposed to be. Already starting the next book. Once I get this launching thing figured out, the sky is the limit.

Yesterday I  realized exactly what some of our goals are. I think the purpose of writing for me, is to open up more doors for ministering to hurting people. For some, writing is another thing.

I do know that it feels good to finally be walking out my destiny! I hope you all pursue destiny too! I love to encourage people to do that, mainly because I know there are so many obstacles that come against it.

We just can’t listen to the defeating voices that tell us to stop! I kept hearing a voice telling me that I was being annoying on my launch page because I am so excited. You know what I’m going to do with that voice? I am going to make my first video and put it on this am. I don’t really care what that voice says anymore…I have to do what I’m called to do!!

You have to too❤️

Don’t listen to those lies❤️

You need to be heard❤️

Close the door to shame, fear, or control!!❤️

We got this❤️

See you soon❤️

Get away from blaming

We live in a time where lots of people are pointing a finger at someone else for their problems. We seriously do need to stop that and look in the mirror and take responsibility for our own choices and actions. We need to work on ourselves. We need to get out of the victim mentality and see what our own thinking and mindsets are doing to block our growth.

Do we even want to grow? Or do we want to stay right where we are? We need help if we want to grow, we usually can’t do it alone. God provides many avenues for growth and I am grateful for that!! We have to be open for help and willing to say that we don’t have all the answers. We have to be teachable.

We have to be willing to take action to dig ourselves out of a pit!! Different people need different things. We aren’t all cookie cutter people, but we all have to be open to the fact that if we can’t follow someone else we will probably not be a good leader. Leadership takes humility and the ability to honor others.

Good leaders need to keep working on themselves and getting cleaned up on the inside so they aren’t taking offense and getting full of bitterness and resentments. Love never fails!

We can always find things all around us to make us angry and drag us down. The negativity we can pick up in this world today is HUGE!! We have to make our own decision to think on things that are pure, lovely, and of good report like the Bible says.

What are we contributing that might be wrong? What do we need to work on in ourselves that might help and encourage others? What do we need to take our hands off of and let someone figure out for themselves? When do we just need to get honest with ourselves about something in us? Honesty is the best way to go!! What’s going on in your heart? What is God really saying to you?

Stop thinking others are your problem❤️

Dig out the hurts that are hindering you❤️

Admit when you are wrong❤️

Don’t be afraid of your faults❤️

Nobody is perfect❤️

Love never fails❤️

See you soon❤️

Family

Aren’t we all looking for family. That’s the most troublesome thing in our culture, an orphan spirit. It’s so hard to find people that are truly your tribe… so many are settling for tribes in the world because they can’t seem to find where they fit.

There has to be communication for connection! Even if your own blood family won’t communicate you can find safe places and safe people that will. Don’t give up looking for a safe tribe!! God has one for you someplace. Even if you can find one safe person to talk to… He will NEVER leave you or forsake you… people may, but HE never will.

Many hurting people in America searching, but God is raising up armies of people that will be there for you!! Don’t give up hope! There is a plan and purpose for everyone!! Love never fails!! Sometimes we need the tools to help us get along with people!! Sometimes we need to learn how to cope!!! All of these things are available!!

We have to rise up out of a victim mindset!! We are not the only one in the world that goes through hard things!! Don’t think I am writing this to you, actually I am writing this because it is where I have been!! I’m writing it from experience!!

We need each other, we need communication, love, encouragement, hope… don’t give up!!

Love to you❤️

Keep searching, don’t give up❤️

Love never fails❤️

See you soon❤️
