Yesterday, there were highs and lows. My heart was heavy at times. I felt the burdens of the wounds and misfortune of both my incarcerated brothers and my son. I cried out to God in sobs! I wanted understanding and mercy and deliverance for them and relief for myself. My sence of joy was daunted, however I felt God required I proclaim joy in my heart because he came that I might have joy. I know He understands. Jesus is acquainted with my infirmities. My heart was saddened by witnessing some messiness between family members, who are also believers.The humility required, of bearing with one another’s weakness, was not there and I recognized my judgement and my disdain. The tensity of the day ending in crying, anger, and a sleeping pill.                                                                                                                                I proclaim this day as I do every day, THIS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE AND I SHALL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT.                                                                                            Lisa

Yesterday, there were a few people coming to me with there issues of anger and hurt. It was so surprising how it was happening repetitively. I was glad that they came to me, because I felt they were looking for that “hold on”, “you can do it” message. I could feel they wanted the encouragement and a positive response.

It was an opportunity to just listen, so they could get it out. And it was a chance to give them that pep talk, of life ain’t easy, but we get through it and on to better days.

It was good to give people a lift and help them find that second breath. To see them exit with new strength, was easy because sometimes people resist and can drain you with the “it’s never gonna change” stuff.

But, God gave me something that I was able to share so they could be mindful of their selves and see better outcomes. It’s that, “Negativity begets Negativity” nothing positive comes out of your negative talk, attitude, or actions.

So I’m looking and those that I talk to can look to getting positive outcomes through our positivity.

Life is a journey with pitfalls and mountain tops, the key is to live each moment to the fullest. I am positive this is what God is putting in my spirit.

I’m intending to be more adventurous and edgy. I don’t have to play it so safe, I can live on the edge because, I’m safe and secure in His Pavilion. This is my self-fulfilling prophecy.

Taking  it by storm,

Lisa

Yesterday I decided to put my trust in Him! My son is resisting.  Yesterday, fear got me a little and sadness. But I talked to God and I said God, no matter what it looks like, You are my GOD and you Love me and You would never abandon me it a time such as this. Just like Daniel in the Lions den and the 3 Hebrew boys, You are right in this with me.

I wont doubt the goodness and faithfulness of my God! He is my ever-present help. And I use this blog as part of the testimony that I will give in the end of it all and to prove God is always good, at work in our lives, and He gives us the victory, always causing us to triumph.

This is the time to boast on the Lord!

I see my son giving his testimony in front of a congregation with a smile and full of joy!

Right now, I have to work with the hospital devise with family a plan to have him picked up & taken back to psychiatric.

Amen!
