Doubt has a way of constantly whispering in your head that you can't do something that you want to do. A shadow of doubt gives you insecurities in life and has paralyzing power on your life that keeps you from thinking you won't see the light again. Self doubt blocks the promise of God's power and truth to change us from the inside out so that we can live with a confident heart and spirit! I'm so tired of hearing those whispers of doubt. I reject the rejection! I'm freeing my inner self and allowing myself the opportunity to express myself, openly, wholeheartedly & with confidence!
Life without no desire, no passion, mundane.... at rock bottom! These last few years the dark has taken over my mind. I've discovered though that I'm in control(again!). I can change the course of direction of how my life is. I may be limited due to health issues but I'm still here, in the living, for a purpose and I plan to Overcome! After all "HE" created me! My motto ~ Everyday is a new day! I woke up, my first words in my head the moment I am awoken is thank you Most Sacred Heart of Jesus for allowing me one more day! I'm speaking from experience, we only see the shadows in our life because we turned away from the light. Keep looking at it! It won't hurt you ~ it will fill you with the Holy Spirit and Life again! That's why everyday I look for a rainbow. A glimmer of Hope!
Look for the positive ~ no matter how dark things look ~ ALWAYS remember you are still breathing, are still walking and still have a voice. Everyday is a Gift!
I'm reminded in daily readings though ~ For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ." 2 Corinthians 4:6
People change by the witness of others. It's time for us to do something! "HE" strengthens and enlightens us to free us. To share our stories, to build from each other, to empower each other, to unconditionally love each other, build trust, self-esteem, respect ~ with no strings attached. To speak life to each other, to be that one person who stands up and says I want to be that person ~ I will pray for those who need prayer, I will be a friend even if all I can do is listen, or smile at you and tell you we all have trials and tribulations to deal with in life.
Thanks for reading my very first ever blog. Sorry I'm not up on my punctuation anymore.
As I reflect on the New Year coming in a matter of 2 days. I'm truly reminded how precious each and every one of my memories are. As I close my eyes and let memories flood my brain to my past:
moving 13 different times in my life, birthday parties, growing up in so many parts of NYS and having a photographic memory for details of all my friends, directions, places I've been before and can usually find again for the second time with no assistance. The numerous schools I've attended over the years and ALL the people I have met ~ life encounters!
I'm a firm believer that we are directed in life. Sometimes we are directed a little more than we'd like to think but the circle of friends that have connections with other friends that I've had during childhood and high school and how life comes full circle and suddenly, years and years later your friends from childhood are related to your Best friends in the whole world!
How on earth does that happen when I grew up 6 hours from here? Without a shadow of doubt ~ I know! LOL!
I just want you all to know that I'm thankful for every person that has left a thumb print on my heart, who has loved me, taught me something in life, and invested your time and friendship in my life.
My memories have helped me to keep going during my difficult times and gives me strength in knowing I can get through anything because each person I've met along my journey has been a puzzle piece in my life picture. Being able to look back shows me how when I first asked the Lord to come into my heart on October 15, 1991 he has never left my side. With God's guidance, His direction and His protection in my life, without a shadow of doubt I know I'm not alone in this world.
Without a shadow of doubt ~ I Believe in you but most importantly Thank you ALL for being a rainbow in my cloud!
Blessings, Pamela
