Daily Journal - 5OCT2020

This morning I am reminded that Joy is not dependent on my circumstances.

Just because things aren't perfect and the day may have its own difficulties and troubles, it doesn't mean I must live in misery.

Instead of living the day in fear of the unknown, I'll give my attention to the things that I can control:

The words I speak
The actions I take
The attention I give
The way I choose to go

Today is another day I've been blessed with and I will give thanks and be glad in it.

Don't allow difficult times steal your joy. Habakkuk 3:17-19

Powerful Walk With God Moment

I was simply reminded today that when we don't understand things or when we're always trying to seek answers or we're always trying to make sure that we're on the right path with God...⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It's a sign that we are not at Peace or even Strong in our Faith ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In times of frustration or need we often times want a sign or more understanding or perhaps even a direct answer to make sure that we're on the right track and that we're doing the things we're supposed to be doing.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Well, I had this revelation where instead of seeking understanding, instead of seeking answers, and instead of questioning whether or not I’m on the right path, 𝐈 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝘐𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Am I at peace with the future? ⁣⁣ Am I at peace with the present? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ You see, I know that when I’m at a place of peace an...

My Story

From a very young age I was brought up in a Christian home by two strong Christian parents. We went to Church twice a week, every Sunday morning and again on Wednesday nights. Dad was a Deacon of the church I was raised in and Mom volunteered everywhere she could from the nursery to the kitchen to teaching Sunday school lessons to the kids. I was Baptized at the age of 13 I was heavily involved in the Youth Group and would testify God's Word I was strong in my beliefs, morals and Faith. I was even married in that same church. But somewhere along the way I "outgrew" my religion. I became arrogant and selfish. I thought I was being held back and robbed of opportunities in my life. I started to drift in my own ways and the more I got away from the principles that was taught to me, the further I got caught up in my own self righteous beliefs. At this time I was living the life of "success" I had the big house I had my family I had money coming in I had the ath...

Welcome To Salvation Strength

For years I struggled with negative self worth, anger, resentment, and a victim mindset that eventually lead to a suicide attempt that landed me in handcuffs and a stay in the hospital. The whole notion of "Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life," never worked for me... I simply could not replace negative thoughts with new positive ones or "Man Up," ... as some would say. It wasn't until I learned about what was really going on deep within me that I started to learn about my self destructive nature and "stories" I had about myself and others. Working with a personal development coach I soon learned new strategies to help me recognize and cope with the patterns that kept me trapped in my own prison for so long. Today, even though I still struggle at times with depression and anxiety, I have found my inner peace and I no longer have the will or urge to end it all. It is my life's mission to show others how you too can overcome: Hopelessness Lost Inter...
