Who's got your back?

Good morning,

Someone asked me why am I so happy.

I told them it’s because GOD has given me the gift of life and PROMISED that it would be great. Since I trust him, I can relax knowing that someone has my best interest at heart. Then they said, “But life hasn’t always been good has it?” I answered, “Not always but most of that is due to my interference and the other is lessons that I needed to learn”. There will always be things in life that we will have to experience or endure in order to become the person that we are supposed to be. It’s like college….you have to get through it in order to reap the benefits. Trust you will be able to handle it because GOD never gives you more than you can handle. It’s you that has lack of trust in yourself. That’s why there is fear. Change your perception. When you are in a storm or in the fire just keep thinking, “There is a reason for this”. Something needs to be washed away or burned off so that you can be new again. Fight through it and count it all JOY. When I let go of the negative that is when GOD stepped in….and oh boy did HE show out. It’s as if when I opened up HE gave me everything I ever wanted. I wanted to be happy. I wanted to know my purpose. I wanted to not worry about every single thing. I wanted to understand what GOD wanted from me and to have a better relationship with him. I know that you may be tired of hearing about my divorce but I really don’t care because it was that situation that changed my life. It triggered me to let go because to me I had lost all that I thought I needed and I was still standing. Therefore, I had to let go of my old way of thinking and start anew. I am not able to even able to describe the peace that I now feel. Even in the rough moments, they are not as bad as they use to be. I now know where to put my focus in order to get back to my happy. It all started with the cross in Athena’s house (the one she won’t give me…..lol). On that cross was the scripture, 2 Corinthians 5:7. To me that cross was telling me that I cannot be influenced by what I perceived was going on at the time and I needed to focus on the expectation of something better.  I focused on GOD’s word sifting out the negative and pouring in the love. Through that one little Bible verse, I was able to open myself up to all positive things. I was able to appreciate that even though things looked bad I was super blessed. I have people that love me and will always make sure that I am safe. That alone is a major blessing. I have people that will always encourage me and for that, I can never hit rock bottom. I used that one Bible verse as a weapon against all negative. Not just my negative thoughts but I would go to battle for anyone because according to the world I should have been crushed. I should have been bitter. I should have been sad. I DECIDED that is not what I wanted. I wanted better. I was not well versed in the complete story of GOD (a.k.a The Bible) but I figured since I already believed in him it would come if my heart keep yearning for it. GUESS WHAT? Slowly but surely GOD poured in his word. I began to see how HIS word spoke to my life. It made life easier through the difficult times. GOD’s word didn’t make my life all roses it just made me understand that situations are for a moment…..we make them last for a lifetime. So, GOD then sent a wonderful woman that I do not know well to tell me that I needed to start a blog. I did and I have been able to share my positivity with you. It feels so good. That’s when I figured out the purpose of life. The purpose of life is to SERVE. Now we will all serve in different ways but we will serve. Think about it….. Police protect and SERVE, Doctors SERVE their patients, Pastors SERVE GOD….. I can go on and on. I am here to serve as a messenger for positive living. I am here to encourage because I know that in order to live the life that GOD has given us we all need cheerleaders. I do not know GOD’s complete plan for my life but I will remain open because I know his plan is better than anything that I can ever imagine…. I have the proof with the JOY in my heart. I never imagined that I could be this happy just because. Keep praying for what you want and it will be provided in the way that you can receive it. With all of this being said, LET’S live in GOD’s purpose for our lives….Be Joyful, Serve in every way you can, and keep the Faith.

If you need ever need a cheerleader I’m HERE!!!!! I have a blog, e-mail, IM, Text, or you can just call me. I AM HERE TO SERVE.

AND remember you are only as alone as you desire to be!

MAKE IT GREAT!!!!!!!
