Empowered



A while ago, the Pastor at the church I attended was teaching how God gives you gifts and He never takes them back no matter how good or bad you are. That made me feel encouraged. He said that you had to plant your seed and develop it, build the right character and then it will flourish. 

I have been given a special gift of wearing my heart on my sleeve and being super in touch with my emotions and translating into a blog entry that others can relate to. 

You have been given a gift too, you just have to find it.

Now is my time to give my gift away. I have been developing my gift since I was old enough to write. And for the past 3 years I have been working on a very private journal. Writing makes me feel empowered. 

It makes me feel empowered making you feel empowered.

It’s time to start sharing my journey with you because I am in such a stable state right now. Yes- I go through the same struggles every basic human goes through!!!! But as far as being a well rounded and balanced human being walking this tight rope we call life, I am there. 

I don’t have my life all together. Hell, I just got divorced and I’m living with my best friend and her family and working a mediocre job at best. But emotionally and spiritually I am there. I am the best I’ve ever been. 

I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I enjoy writing about it! 

And now one of my most empowering pictures. The day I found a church to call my home

You can see the nerves going solo to church for the first time. But I was so happy to go back to God. Jesus is my savior. Without Gods grace, I would not be sitting here writing this today.

Mad

I am sitting here watching Daniel the Tiger and they are singing a song called “Mad” and one thing that I am learning now that I didn’t know then is that it’s ok to be mad at some one.  I only used to get mad at inanimate objects because they didn’t have any feelings and I am that sensitive of a person that I knew that they couldn’t get hurt so I would take my feelings of anger out on things not people.  I never wanted to hurt a persons feelings because I knew how it felt to be hurt by anger and I didn’t want to make someone feel how I felt.  It’s ok to be mad at people. This is how I always would be: You don’t want to walk around being a victim all the time. You don’t want to walk around being hurt all the time. Its ok to be angry. But. And there’s a huge but! It’s not cool to be cruel. Be angry BUT use your anger and let it be a cathartic release to catalyst you into something amazing such as.... painting, sports, music, running. Anything. Something. It’s power. Let it ...

Clarity

I have been a Lone Ranger for quite some time and by that I mean, I haven’t been reading my Bible like I should. I know God is with me. I know His grace covers and protects me, and I know He is sovereign but I have been taking it for granted.  I went to my home church this morning. I’ve been going to River Oak but I decided to go to my home church with my mom this morning.   The message really spoke to me. Pastor Ray said basically that it’s easy to understand from an outside perspective and make a judgment call but unless you know the context of the situation you don’t understand the concept of the reality of the situation.  He preached out of John 4 where Jesus had to go through Samaria which was basically going through a land of the most hated people to get to Galilee. There he met a Samaritan woman by the well who had been married 5 times and living with a man. And he asked her for water. And she was surprised. Then Jesus said if she only knew the gift God had for her...

Feelings

We all have feelings. We all have emotions. Some run deeper than other and some are just surface level ideologies that you can learn to compartmentalize into nice little neat boxes and forget about for a while. What happens when those feeling overwhelm us and we can’t understand how to cope with them? What happens when we sink so low that we feel abandoned by God? What do we do then? How do we deal with our emotions without allowing them to control us? How do we allow ourselves to properly feel and let go while still praising our creator? Let’s take a close look at the story of Joseph. Joseph was loved by his father because he was the first born of the woman he worked so hard to marry Rachel.  Out of 12 brothers, he was the favorite. Because he was the favorite, his brothers were jealous. Then one day, Joseph told his brothers about a dream he had about his brothers bowing down to him. This put his brothers a little over the edge. He then told his brothers another dream about ...
