When You Miss Someone…

By 1 Comment

 

 

When you miss someone, your cheeks feel heavy and it’s hard to smile.

When you miss someone, you forget the definition of a little while.

When you miss someone, you wish that they were near.

You try to find ways to show them that you care.

When you miss someone, you forget about the bad

Only thinking of the good

You try to think of the words that you would say if you could

See them right now, You’d feel really great

But they are in another country, city, or state

Or maybe they are gone…

Have passed and quietly moved on

When you miss someone, your heart swells with love

And it longs to say “Yes, it’s you, I’m thinking of…”

What if?

Today, I watched this video. As I sat and watched it, I ask my self questions. There were things that could say and there are points that I can argue with about the video, but ultimately, I have to say that it inspired me.

I began to think…

What if I stop allowing fear to have a place in my life?

What if I lived completely free?

What if I stopped hiding and allowed my personality to shine through 100%?

What if I became courageous and worked on my dreams and goals?

What if I lived like I was going to die tomorrow? How beautiful would my life be?

I don’t mean any of this in a negative way…I’m just saying that I am looking at my life and wondering what it would be like to walk in the freedom that God gave me through Jesus. I’m wondering how much I hold back…what do I hold on to?

I want to be all that God created me to be. I want to live until I am an old woman…135 old woman 🙂 Yet who knows when their time is up on this earth. Hezekiah knew and asked for more time. I want to see my kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and great great grandkids grow up. I want a life worth living and inspiring!

Today I am thankful for the inspiration. I am thankful for the encouragement.

Lord,
Help me to live this life to the fullest. Help me to walk in faith and to live courageously. Let my life be inspiring and full of love and joy. Help me to be the best that you created me to be. In Jesus’ mighty name. ~Amen

Love Like That…

This morning, I came online to write a post about somethings that I was thinking about yesterday.  Somehow, I got side tracked.  I ended up visiting other blogs and sites.  By surfing the net, I came across this picture.  I’m not sure where it came from or who created it, but I wanted to write about how it.

Loving Someone Past Their Sadness

It’s easy to love someone when things are perfect and they are happy, but what about the times that they are going through struggles and personal issues in life.

It can be anything.

They may be growing or feeling a certain way about life.  They could be searching for truth and peace.  They may feel unloved and depressed.  They may not want to share.

More than it is important that they talk to you, it’s important that you love them, past that place.

We all need it and would want someone to do the same for us.

I’m not just talking…I know that I want it…and I can do it…Love Like That

 

 

When Loving Is Hard To Do

By Leave a Comment

Let me start off by saying that I have not thought this post through. I am just writing because I feel like it. I have no idea where I’m going or how this will end. What I do know is that I feel this.

There are times in life when things just don’t make much sense. The events that occur are not pretty or pleasant, but they happen. When that time comes, we are faced with a serious decision…

How to handle it?

Seriously…I feel like tht question has slapped me in that face. How will I continue to be myself and love those I love without changing. Some people change in the midst of making this decision. They become harsh and mean. Some become arrogant and prideful. Others become so broken by the situation that their life is drastically affected, by the event and the decision.

I know that God loves us even when we are wrong. Yet, He does not turn a blind eye to our sin. He sees it for what it is and deals with us accordingly, but with mercy. This is how He loves us. Our prayers may be hindered, we may have to walk through some hard places, but the truth is that it could all be over quicker that a tinkle of an eye. That all depends on us. All God is waiting on to meet us, help us, and forgive us is repentance. If we decide that we are beyond repentance, He take a few steps back because the Bible says that sin effects people in steps. The ultimate step is death. He longsfor us to live abundant lives and to continually be connected to Him, but the choice is ours.

I said all that to say, God never changes and since God is love, I want to love they way that He loves. There is no magic formula as to how to love someone when it gets hard besides, love like He loves. With this knowledge, I have chosen to seek Him about my current situation. I have to understand how to love someone that has hurt me without destroying who they are or becoming someone else, myself. I want to imitate God and love the way He does. I just see His way as freeing to both the lover and the lovee.

I am almost positive that this will not be easy. I kinda think this is going to take a while. With the little inlking that I have, I pray for the dedication to remain loving throughout this whole process. I realize that this is natural…sometimes loving is hard to do

Reminding Myself

By Leave a Comment

There are times when I am going through things and I just feel…some kinda way. Those are times when I have to encourage and remind myself of the truth. The first truth that I am reminding myself of today is this…love never fails. And just n case I almost forget, I’ve added it to my screensaver.

It is so easy to forget sometimes. I want to do things my way at times and treat others the way that they have treated me. You know all the pain and the time spent crying can feel really horrible, but then I have to remember that love endures. That makes me question my motives and…my heart. Am I only thinking of myself in the situation or is this about the ones that I love.

The truth is that I have to continue to think on and remind myself of these things so that I can become better at loving those that God has given me to love.

This can even be true with my kids. After a long stressful day, I’m tired and ready to go to bed. Sometimes they are not. They want to sit and talk or cuddles and play. When your tired, it’s hard to have fun. Well, I know it is for me, but I have to give them what they need. When my oldest has been at school all day and needs his mama, I have to muster up the energy and give him what he needs. For a moment that is hard, but God has equipped me for that very moment. Within seconds , he smiles and I’m not tired anymore. I have a burst of energy because I see and understand what the love that I have for him does to him.

This same frame of mind has to be used when it comes to my husband, mother, father, friends, siblings, cousins…you get the picture.

Truthfully, I just have to remind myself of the effect that love has on people. It’s not always about me being loved. Instead it’s about me loving. With a warm heart I love when it’s easy and…when it’s hard.
