THE GIFT OF EXPERIENCE: HOPE PREVAILS

Hope is the reasonable expectation that something good is going to happen. Without hope, our lives seem desolate and empty. Hope has enabled me to overcome extraordinary amounts of adversity. A good friend pointed out that my circumstances were given to me because I am here to help others. If you are reading this then you should know my faith is strong, and it has only been through the grace of God that these experiences have not overwhelmed me. Welcome.

Hey Alexi!

Loved Joyce! She taught me so much truth about the peace and love of God through my journey this far. I remember the story about the Bible studies with shorts and cigarettes.

We all start our greatness somewhere!

I love, love the song "Rattle" by Elevation Worship. It puts the shakedown on the devil when I feel I cannot take another second... "God said Live." Really it's about resurrection power, dry bones coming to life, and faith that you will make it through. "I hear the sound of dry bones rattling..."

Hi Crissy, I hope your holiday was restful and the food nice. I have often listened to Joyce Meyer, years ago, when she first started, I remember she still smoked as she read the word and led the bible studies lol. Over the years she learned the disciplines of the truth and has helped so many.

Failure is the next step to success if we don't give up or faint. You just have to look in the Bible and say for instance David and the trials he went through, but he learned from our God and he passed on the wisdom through the Psalms. Job is another, we must not give up, and just when we think all is lost the answer comes.

Thank you, for sharing today, it has been a learning, we have to listen and act and never give up.

Beautifully written with honesty and compassion for the very real threats black people have to face every day.
I lived in a mixed apartment complex for quite awhile and saw the difference in the way the police approached young black men. It is so real and most white people never see the fear. Working as an RN in a large hospital I was around cops quite a bit. Being in GA, during the 1970's and 1980's there was a lot of prejudice. It seemed to be getting better as we saw more black cops but something is changing in our country. On both sides, people are stressed, drugs are involved and kindness seems to be a weakness. Just my observations. Thanks for the read.

So true, guys. And as the Word says for encouragement on the dark days, summarized, 'know that your fellow believers all over the world are also sharing in Christ's suffering.'
That helps me to know I am not alone in my crisis. He will come around right on time.

The Holy Spirit, our helper comes to help us when we need him and not a second too late. How wonderful; and marvelous our God is, nice also to know that all over the world we have brothers and sisters like you both.

The hope in our hearts, fostered by our faith and growing knowledge of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as we are gradually transformed into complete Christ-likeness, blesses us daily and inspires us to share all we know about God and all we have become so far on our journey of transformation with others, whenever and wherever we are provided opportunities to do so.

As Alexi said, Crissy, this entry in your blog is filled with beautiful words honoring the beauty and joy of hope we all receive when we receive Jesus into our hearts as Lord and Savior, and we become determined to learn more about Him and our Heavenly Father and our Helper, the Holy Spirit, and share the wonderful, exciting things we learn with others, fellow believers and non-believers alike.

The Challenge of Love ~ Time Out

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

The last romantic relationship of which I was a part engulfed me. I was finally a part of something bigger than myself. Most of my life had been spent mostly caring for myself, and then when he was born, caring for my son. Many of us know that the love of a parent and child is very strong, a bond that can never be broken. That is not to what I am referring. No. This love was magical, the love between a man and a woman who share a deep passion for one another. It was a fervor so powerful that we did everything with intense emotion, from loving to arguing to having child-like fun. Those six years were the most trying, most rewarding times of my life.

I have learned a lot about myself since we have broken up. I have had two years to ponder things: what happened, what I was doing to cause a stir in the relationship, where I went astray. You see, it was one of those relationships that, when things got heated in an argument, there was no "time out" to ponder what was said and decide if I was wrong. I am a person who desperately needs that time out to figure out if I am the one who is offensive and mistreating. If I realize I am the one to blame, I will gladly admit it and apologize for my actions, words or intentions. Without that time, though, everything was compounded and it became a shouting match. That is no way for two adults who love one another to behave.

Since I have had all this time to think, to be alone, to discover ME without a partner, I am realizing that a lot of it was my fault. It is too late for that relationship now, but for the future, should I meet another someone, I will make "timeouts" a mandatory priority. We teach our children to do that when they are angry, so why don't we do it ourselves? My hope for future love is that I will be understood, and that my timeout periods will be honored. I believe that will serve to diminish many needless arguments.
