What Lies Ahead...

Our minds naturally become programmed through our experiences... maintaining habits through repetitive behaviors... Developing patterns... cycles... actions that we do over and over which build a sense of stability and comfort... But not always happiness... comfort is not the best situation to be in... comfort builds complacency... Keeps us from trying new things... from leaving bad situations... Allowing us to accept things as they are as we rely solely on our own understanding...
 
Moving forward is not always easy... walking in a new direction builds fear... unfamiliar territory... instability... chaos begins to shake the earth pushing you back into your comfort... your happiness is not in what you leave behind its in what lies ahead... "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and not lean on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5)... Let the earth shake beneath your feet... You can learn to hop, skip, and jump as you push your way forward... Just keep moving... I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings for those who keep walking forward... Great things happen in a single step...

Tomorrow is Closer than You Think


Ups... Downs... Twists... Turns...bends... and breaks...words that describe a variety of thrills, chills, and even horrifying adventures acquired through a plethora of physical, emotional, or mental experiences that seem to make our mind scramble for stability and safety

just as our mind wants to lead us to a safe harbor during every rough sea... God is there to pick us up and strengthen us through every outnumbered battle...

Today is just a day... one in 365... so if you feel defeated... weakened... or even broken... remember, you are never alone... Never outnumbered... You stand strong...

Strength must build upon weakness... humility... and pain... Taking one day and using 364 more to make us stronger and better equipped to fight another battle... Stand up... Wipe those knees... Dry those tears... and smile... tomorrow is closer than you think...
