Call on Jesus while he may be found. Hug people while they are still on the earth. Bring them flowers while they are alive.

Step Into the new day
One day at a time. Step into the new day. Stop looking back. Forgive yourself. Forgive others. You cannot focus on looking ahead, if you keep looking back. Look around to see how you can meet the needs of others, care about your neighbors, and your joy will increase, your thankfulness will usher in right thinking and remind you to keep looking up.

KNOWING LIFE BY HEART
Peace. Be Still. And I am ...
I'm here. Still on the planet. Learning how to let so much go --- what I thought I knew, what I thought I wanted, what I believed about myself and others.
Funny how healing comes when you accept yourself for who and how you are. When you can smile at realizing as you are realizing so much you did not know about yourself before, because you were to busy ignoring the pain and trying not to care about what you wanted. As if that is noble or selfless.
Wow..it even hurts to write that. Truth hurts at times. When you grow up in a house and the person you draw your identity from (Father figure) communicates to you by lack of care and concern that you do not matter and you are an annoyance --- strong chance you will unknowingly be attracted to someone who ignores you and devalues your existance. Ask me how I know.
There is victory in the Lord. It is not the end of your life. You are still a person. You matter. And you can make adult decision that can put you in a healthier place of heart and mind and body ...you can be healed from insecurities and loss and devastation and the lies you have believed as truth. You have the power to change your thoughts and your destination and to be thankful that you are you.
I whispered His name (Jesus) and cried like a scared little girl. . . wondering who was going to come to my rescue. The Lord was my ever-present-help in time of need. He knows me by heart. He knows me by name. He saw me in the dark, in my mother's belly, when I was still being formed. He brought me forth. And He has faithfully brought me forth, picked me up and helped me to see that I am loved. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. And so are You.
