Don’t Let Life Blow Out Your Candle

Don’t Let Life Blow Out Your Candle

     Our way is lit up, but life’s challenges should not interfere to the point it affects our well-being.  We don’t choose what comes our way, but it is our choice how we’re affected by the occurrences.

     When what we face is overwhelming it can blind us so it is hard to notice what is apparently close, and maybe blocking our view from the progress to get beyond.  If we’re unable to recognize the goodness to lead in directions that are true then we may be lost in an everlasting maze.

     Reaching out to those who can provide support could be our needed help to get us to that next level.  One time as I felt attacked, I prayed in Church by the 1^st Station – “Jesus is condemned to death”.  I felt like I identified with some of what Jesus was going through.

     The message God gave me was “Look to the left.”  I did, and saw the red candle, by the Tabernacle.  That is where the Body of Christ is kept in reserve.  Then God said, “You are not far from hope.”

     Look around, there are signs of hope all around, just waiting for us to receive, take in then share the blessings.  And when we light another’s candle it doesn’t lessen our own light.  We aren’t diminished by sharing.

You Can’t Pretend To Show Up -- You Can Pretend To Care

You Can’t Pretend To Show Up

You Can Pretend To Care

     Ashley Judd quoted, when speaking about her Mom Naomi Judd, “You can pretend to care, but you can’t pretend to show up.”  Our presence may bring to bear much more than we realize and inspire others to some greater lengths that lift them to becoming incredible versions of themselves.

     Be real, and be true to ourselves that we impact those in our midst, all the while influencing their actions, resulting in phenomenal outcomes.  The brightness achieved can make a difference for many and be a changer for a multitude of environments.

     Just being present could be valuable and can be what someone needs to affect their life with the resource to get them past what challenges them at that moment.  Our presence may be what that person uses to overcome the issue that binds them so tightly.

     Showing up in another’s life can be magnificent for them and for us too, blessing many because of the interaction.  That bond built could be fill the needs of many facing challenges and issues.

     Side-by-side, whether active or quietly might be tremendous support a person may be searching for in their hurting.  When we’re close much can be accomplished, and blessings flow freely.  Show up and be available!

And Begins The Healing

And Begins The Healing

     When we’re wounded or traumatized our body begins the process of healing almost immediately, though we may not realize what is happening.  The systems within us have been created to fix itself and restore our being to its best possibility.

     The pain we experience is communicating many things to our brain that allows decision making to occur and processes info so resulting aid can be brought the needed help.  The timeline for healing is unique for each one of us to experience.

     Having a Support Group that stand by, maybe even without words that comfort, but in silence can be tremendous.  The hand-holding might be the needed community building needed to get us to the next level, lifting spirits that bolster our esteem.

     Being there beside us, if even quietly could be the necessary lifting and gifting the worthwhile generosity that results in giving support to encourage the needed levels.  Beginning a journey accomplishes incredible feats and shows where we can reveal talents.

     To be cured opens opportunities for inspiring others that they may reach for their chance to be the best version of themselves.  Our words or deeds could be the spark what someone’s flame needs generating the fanning for their own fire.  The start of healing might lead to so much more.

Walk The Walk == Live Life Fully

 Walk The Walk

Live Life Fully

          I’ve heard “Talk the talk, talk the walk, walk the talk, etc.”  But to live life fully, we must do it all, the “Talk” and “Walk” parts.  Putting ourselves in good environments helps us accomplish much more.

         Being inspired by the words and actions of others energizes our very maximum efficiency achievable.  When we can make the most happen into our lives then we share those blessings with those brought close to us.

         Fully living may bring immense goodness to others in ways that shine brightly so they can be a light to someone also.  If we imagine ideas with so much enthusiasm it would be a spark to another’s fire that might allow such blazing to occur.

         Spread seeds that have growth reaching magnificent levels and feed all so amazing things could happen.  Our choices to make decisions reward us and others greatly.

         The openness to perspectives can make the Walk and Talk renewed to a point we may not have thought possible.  Sensing might show us views that expand our horizons in amazing ways.  Full-Filled we can be.
