LET GO OR HOLD ON

Philippians 3:13 But on thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.

As I asked the CREATOR what I should write about for today; this title kept coming to mind. There are many of us that hold on to things or people in our lives that the CREATOR would want to remove because HE sees that those things or those people are just not good for our lives. I have always lived by this statement: if it does not add to my life then I do not want it there. I can also say that there have been people that have not been good for my life as well, and I have watched the CREATOR remove them too.

Many times we hold on, but in reality we should just let go. Sure it is not always easy, but its always for our good. The CREATOR sees a lot further down our life journey than we do and HE knows what's best for us. I have struggled many times with holding on, but because of the twists and turns along my journey it is now much easier to let go if its not what the CREATOR wants for my life.

So my encouragement for you today is: consider the things or people in your life that are not good or healthy for your life, and leave it behind. Daily press forward to the plan that the CREATOR has for you because your relationship with HIM will be the best prize for your life.

Have a blessed day!

The CREATOR LOVES YOU!❤️

BE YOU

Psalm 139:17 How precious also are Your thoughts to, O God! How great is the sum of them!

Have you ever stopped and just pondered on what the CREATOR thinks about you? I believe most people don't, and truth be told for a very long time I didn't either. Most of the time our thoughts (when it comes to ourselves) are not the same thoughts that the CREATOR thinks towards us. There are many people who have such negative thoughts about their self worth. I did for a very long time. Today it is very different. I had to daily choose to step of the box and pursue HIS thoughts about me. It was very difficult at first because there were many ugly, and negative things spoken over me.

Over the last several years the CREATOR has gently and lovingly spoken things to me; whether it be through my sleep, other people sent especially by HIM, or my favorite; through songs. Throughout these last several years learning to be me has actually been interesting. I have lived under obligation my whole life, and just even over this past weekend; the CREATOR reminded me that I DO NOT have to live under that anymore. Neither do you! So my encouragement for you today is: live your journey to the fullest; please the heart only of your CREATOR, and let the rest go. Its an amazing freedom! Have a blessed day!

The CREATOR LOVES YOU!❤️

WHAT DRIVES YOU

Proverbs 19:21 There are many plans in a man's heart; nevertheless the Lord's purpose will prevail.

There are many people today that are driven by many different things. Some are driven by hate, bitterness, and unforgiveness. Others are driven by kindness, compassion, and love. My question for you today is: what drives you? Sure when we are younger we all at some point or another make plans for our lives. We all have some kind of hope on how things will turn out. Truth is though most of the time it doesn't happen that way. Oh we may want it one way, but the CREATOR has a plan for our lives too.

As we daily build our relationship with the CREATOR we can look at how HIS plans always turned out for the best for each of us. I always wanted things to happen a certain way too, but when I surrendered that to HIM my plans shifted, and HE got and still daily gets all the glory for my life journey. We will all have different passions in life because we are all different and unique. We were all created differently and that's ok. What drives me is to only please the heart of my CREATOR, to be the best wife and momma, and to fulfill my purpose as an encourager. So my encouragement for you today is: even though you may have plans for your life; seek the CREATOR daily so that HE can show you what plans HE has for you, and let that passion drive you all the way through your journey.

Have a blessed day!

The CREATOR LOVES YOU!❤️
