Your Story

Your story is your story
Yours and no one else’s
Don’t let others take your pen
To rearrange your verses

No one knows what you’ve been through
Or the struggles that you’ve faced
How you survived obliteration
Been discarded, laid to waste

Be proud of your achievements
As magnificent as opening your eyes
Getting up when you couldn’t face it
Still managing to rise

Your story is your story
Be brave, adventurous, bold
Dare to aim for the moon and stars
Play your hand, don’t quit, don’t fold

The Sun shines behind every cloud
Is there throughout the most brutal storms
You won’t be cold and wet forever
You will bask in light and warmth

Don’t let others muddy your waters
Trying to alter your truth
Remember your story is your story
Lived and written by you

You are absolutely remarkable
Unique, one of a kind
Special down to your last molecule
Magnificent, sublime

Don't lose faith, even when the darkness seems to linger. Remember, God's timeline is not ours, and His ways are not our ways. The delay is not a denial, but a preparation for a greater blessing.

Don't compare your journey with others, for their victories are not yours. Your prayers are not forgotten, even when it seems like they're going unanswered. God remembers, even when we forget.

Hold on to hope, dear one, and keep praying. The waiting may be long, but the process is just as important as the answer. Don't give up, for God is faithful and just. He will come through for you, in His perfect time.

Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and trust in His goodness. He is a sun and shield, bestowing favor and honor on those who trust in Him. No good thing will He withhold from those who walk in His ways.

So, have faith, dear one. God's got you, and He will see you through.

Hebrews 12:2. Good News Translation

Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God's throne.

You meticulously planned your journey, drawing maps and setting expectations. You pinned your hopes on these plans, only to find that each path you took felt like the wrong direction. Frustrated but determined, you sought out alternative routes and forged ahead.

With a heart that's as vast as the horizon, you've always viewed the world with optimism. This perspective has carried you through challenges and brought you to where you are now. Along the way, you've encountered obstacles, endured hardships, and gained scars, both visible and hidden. Yet, deep down, you know you'll be alright.

Even when fear creeps in, trying to hold you back, remember: you possess a strength that surpasses your fears. When you find yourself lost in the blinding glare of city lights or overshadowed by the absence of stars, there's something wild within you that beckons you back to where you belong - home.

Confronting the fears that paralyze you might seem daunting, but if you dare to chase after your dreams with unwavering determination, even diving headfirst into the unknown, that same wild spirit will guide you back to your sanctuary - home.

At times, the weight of the past can make you feel like you're sinking in quicksand. But you don't have to face these challenges alone. Reach out, and you'll find a helping hand waiting to pull you to safety. Trust that everything will work out, and believe that you're stronger than you give yourself credit for.

So, if you ever feel lost amidst the blinding lights or hidden stars, or if fear has you frozen in place, remember: something wild inside you is calling you back, urging you to find your way home.

“Love is not just about romantic love. Love is a decision. It is a choice to remain together under all conditions, in poverty and wealth, while strong and weak, when healthy and sick means to protect and enjoy each other without a break. Love means making a commitment to keep going through life's difficulties and triumphs.”

God is not in a hurry. His timeline for us is never delayed.

Stop rushing God to do everything on your timeline. He is God. He is never late. He’s always on time.

If God told you to wait, then wait. If God told you to obey, then obey.

That’s why we get tired. That’s why we get stressed about many things. That’s why we get disappointed easily. We’re trying to live outside God’s timeline.

Don’t rush things to happen. However long it takes, keep waiting. Our Father knows what’s best for us. Slowly but surely, I believe it’s worth waiting for.

Give your “control” to the Lord; let Him lead the way. Surrender your will and embrace His timeline, not ours. You can find security in God, knowing that,

“In His time, He will make it happen.”

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31)

Don’t Confuse Your Work and Your Worth

“I have also learned why people work so hard to succeed: it is because they envy the things their neighbors have. But it is useless. It is like chasing the wind.”
Ecclesiastes 4:4 (GNT)

We can come up with many excuses for overworking. Sometimes we blame it on needing to provide for our family. Other times we insist our work is so important that to slow down would be negligent.

But usually, it’s a values problem. We start valuing the wrong things. Specifically, we value the acquisition of stuff above all else.

The Bible says, “I have also learned why people work so hard to succeed: it is because they envy the things their neighbors have. But it is useless. It is like chasing the wind” (Ecclesiastes 4:4 GNT).

God says we have two options: We can either spend all our time keeping up with the Joneses, or we can forget them and reduce our stress level—but we can’t have both.

That’s how this becomes a question of values. Do you want more stuff, or do you want less stress and more time with your family and friends? The choice is yours.

Jesus said it like this: “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” (Mark 8:36 NIV). Or, “What good is it to become president of your company but lose your kids or your spouse?”

The simple answer? It’s not good at all.

Your work and your worth are two different things. Maybe you grew up being told you’re worthless, and you’re out in the workplace trying to prove everyone wrong. In the back of your mind, you’re telling yourself, “I’m going to show them. I’m going to prove them wrong.” You work harder and harder, but no matter how hard you work, it’s never enough. Just about the time you start to relax, you hear a haunting voice telling you, “Keep pedaling. Somebody’s catching up!” You need to get rid of the voice. It’s feeding you a lie.

As a pastor, I was by many bedsides as people died. I’ve seen many people take their last breath, sometimes at a hospital, sometimes in a home, and sometimes at the scene of an accident. Among all of the people I’ve watched die in my life, I’ve never heard anyone say with their dying breath, “I wish I’d spent more time at the office/work.

Not one.

Don’t you think it’s time to adjust your values? Get out of the rat race.

Just Enough Time to Do God’s Will

“All of us should . . . enjoy what we have worked for. It is God’s gift.”
Ecclesiastes 3:13 (GNT)

In a 21st century world where we’re overworked, overstressed, and over-scheduled, this may be one of the most significant and freeing sentences you’ll ever read: You have just enough time to do God’s will.

That means if you don’t feel you have enough time in your day, one of two things is true.

1) You’re doing things God doesn’t intend for you to do.
2) You’re doing the things God intended the wrong way.

God wouldn’t give you a list of things to do and not give you the time to do them. You’re either trying to do too much or you’re wasting time. There’s really no other option.

Either way, you need to learn to enjoy the moment. The Bible says, “All of us should . . . enjoy what we have worked for. It is God’s gift” (Ecclesiastes 3:13 GNT).

Too many of us fall victim to a terrible trap. I call it “when and then” thinking. We believe “when” we achieve a particular goal, we’ll be happy. Maybe that goal is graduation, marriage, or a financial goal. But you won’t be happy then. You’ll enjoy reaching that goal for three seconds, and then you’ll start asking yourself, “What’s next?” The cycle simply repeats itself.

Are you worn out, burnt out, or stressed out? God wants more for you. If you’re carrying an overwhelming load, it isn’t from Jesus. He says, “Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest . . . the load I give you to carry is light” (Matthew 11:28, 30 NCV).

Every moment of your life is a gift from God. He doesn’t want you to miss a single one because you’re focused on what’s next and not on what’s he’s put right in front of you. Don’t wait for something to happen before you are happy with what you already have. God has given you everything you need for joy and contentment right now.

Not Trusting God Leads to Stress

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.”
Psalm 20:7 (NIV)

Everyone trusts something. The question is, in what—or in whom—do you place your trust?

Our society tends to spurn trust—or at least we say we do. We’re skeptical of everyone and everything. We don’t trust the government or journalists. Employees don’t trust employers. Customers don’t trust businesses. We don’t even trust the weather report! When you get down to the bottom of the decline of trust today, you’ll find that our society’s “truth decay” is a big part of it.

Truth and trust go together. You trust people who tell you the truth. You don’t trust people if you don’t think they’re telling you the truth. And if you don’t believe in absolute truth, then you can’t trust anyone to tell you the truth.

Our lack of trust causes us tremendous stress in life. We were born to trust. God wired us with the capacity and desire to trust in something greater than ourselves, because he wanted us to have a relationship with him.

If you don’t trust God, then you will create something else to trust. It may be a diploma on the wall, money in the bank, your spouse, your career, or a hobby. This desire to trust in something larger than ourselves is nothing new. The biblical writers were keenly aware of it in their cultures as well. The Bible says in Psalm 20:7, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God” (NIV).

The Bible has a word for whatever we place our trust in rather than God. The Bible calls it an “idol.” God’s Word says that, for our own good, we need to stay away from idols: “For your own good . . . do not sin by making for yourselves an idol in any form” (Deuteronomy 4:15-16 GNT).

So, how can you know truth? You spend time reading and studying and meditating on Scripture. You learn what truth is by getting to know a person, Jesus Christ. As you do, you’ll find the most secure place for your trust and a foundation for life.

To the mistakes that taught me wisdom,
To the challenges that strengthened my spirit,
To the experiences that broadened my perspective,
To the people who tested my patience,
To the struggles that pushed me to grow,
To the heartbreak that forced me to let go,
To the losses that showed me the value of life,
And to the pain that refined my resilience,

Thank you for helping me unlock my potential,
For shaping me into a stronger, wiser version,
For guiding me towards my inner strength,
For leading me to discover my true worth,
For teaching me to embrace my scars,
For showing me that growth comes from adversity,
For helping me find my voice, my courage, my heart,
And for leading me to a life of purpose and meaning.

I am grateful for the journey, no matter how difficult,
For it has made me the person I am today, stronger and more resilient.
Because I have God in every tiny details of my life.

When prayers go unanswered, and dreams are left unfulfilled, it's natural to feel lost and betrayed. The silence of God can be deafening, leaving us with a sense of helplessness and frustration. We question His plan, His love, and His presence.

But in the midst of our darkest moments, we have a choice. We can turn away from God, or we can turn towards Him. We can choose to lay our weary hearts at His feet, and find comfort in His embrace.

It's not about understanding why our prayers went unanswered, but about trusting in His sovereignty. It's not about feeling His presence, but about believing in His promise to never leave us nor forsake us.

In the darkness, we can find solace in His word, His love, and His grace. We can find strength in our vulnerability, and hope in our desperation. And even when our prayers are not answered as we want, we can still find peace in His presence, and trust that He is working everything for our good.

Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians 4:6

LIFE IS SHORT, SO ENJOY IT...

"Barely the day started and it’s already six in the evening. Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday, and the month is already over, and this year is almost over.

Already 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 years of our lives have passed and we realize that we lost our parents, friends and we realize it's too late to go back.

So.….Let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time. Let’s keep looking for activities that we like and let’s put some color in our grey life. Let’s smile at the little things in life that put more love in our hearts.

And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let’s try to eliminate the afters. I’m doing it after, I’ll say it after. I’ll think about it after. We leave everything for later like ’after‘ is ours.

Remember what we don't understand is that: Afterwards, the coffee gets cold, afterwards, priorities change. Afterwards, the charm is broken. Afterwards, health passes. Afterwards, the kids grow up.

Afterwards parents get old. Afterwards, promises are forgotten. Afterwards, the day becomes the night. Afterwards, life ends. And then it's too late to turn back the clock and do or say what we should have done or said.

So, let’s leave nothing for later. Because still waiting to see later, we can lose the best moments, the best experiences, best friends, the best family moments.

The day is TODAY. The moment is NOW. We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done or said right away.

Life May Seem Like An Eternity, But It's A Very Short Trip, Always Enjoy Your LLIFE IS SHORT, SO ENJOY IT...

Life is hard but not impossible.

Everybody wants to be happy in life.

We all want to live a perfect life.

Everybody wishes for good life.

But Sometimes In this life, storms and tribulations are bound to come our way.

The good news is, in the middle of all these troubles and hardships, there is always a way out. It may be at different levels.

One person may define a good life one way and another may describe it another way.

For one person a good life may be just having three meals a day and a roof over their head.

All we need to do is remain strong and never give up.

Hardships are bound to strengthen but not destroy us.

For in an age where perfection is a chased illusion and being real is uncommon..She is all of the things that remind us:

There’s nothing more gorgeous than a strong woman who owns her imperfection and flaws, confident in herself and always, free to be the person she chooses to be. So, when you see her smiling confidently and owning who she is unapologetically, appreciate that:

PROVERBS 31:25-31

❤️She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future.
❤️When she speaks, her words are wise,
and she gives instructions with kindness.
❤️She carefully watches everything in her household
and suffers nothing from laziness.
❤️Her children stand and bless her.
Her husband praises her:
❤️There are many virtuous and capable
women in the world, but you surpass them all!”
❤️Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
❤️Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

❤️That’s the true essence of beauty.❤️

Let people make mistakes.
If we only love people if they are consistent in what they do well, maybe our love is not big enough.

I know that consistency is a good thing, rare and special. I, too, desire consistency, but I have come to terms with the reality that I am a limited human being. I cannot be agreeable all the time, no matter how I aspire to be. It is not possible for me to be unfailingly patient, understanding, gentle, thoughtful, congenial or everything desirable. I have my days. At times I can be difficult and unpleasant to be with and I am not proud of that. However, that is the reality of my humanity-I am limited- and if not for the goodness of God who tirelessly works on my imperfections, bad days might be all I'll ever know. They say consistency is attractive- but the only consistency I need is consistently depending on God's grace and trying to be better whenever I fail to be.

The Best Things in Life

“Thou will make known to me the path of life; In Thy presence is fullness of joy; in Thy right hand there are pleasures forever.”
Psalm 16:11

Years ago, I read a magazine article entitled, “The Best Things in Life Aren’t Things.” In it, the writer listed 35 things to illustrate her point – things like coming home, and the smell of freshly baked bread. If you surveyed any group of people and asked them to name the best thing in life, most would respond, “happiness.” But the problem with happiness is that it is based on circumstances. Instead, I propose that the best thing in life is joy. Joy is not only God-given; it is independent of what’s going on in your life. God gives us joy when we receive His son Jesus as Lord and Savior. God gave His best that we might experience the best of all gifts – His unspeakable joy.

Hygge (pronounced “hue-gah”) is a Danish word used to describe the wonderful feeling of enjoying something and being completely enveloped in the experience. It's like a warm, comforting hug for your soul, right here in the heart of your home. Imagine being wrapped up in a cozy blanket, sipping on a cup of your favourite warm beverage, and feeling completely enveloped in the sheer joy of the moment - that is the essence of hygge.

In this fast-paced world, hygge is our secret weapon. It captures the art of slowing down, simplifying, and truly savoring life's simplest pleasures. It's about creating an environment where you can relish the good things in life, surrounded by those you hold dear.

To Get More Passionate, Get Closer to God

“Look, I’m standing at the door and knocking. If anyone listens to my voice and opens the door, I’ll come in and we’ll eat together.”
Revelation 3:20 (GW)

God gave you a heart, and he has placed in you passions, desires, and dreams. But unless they are under his control, they will be misused, they will be abused, they will be misapplied, they will be misdirected, and they will be wasted in your life.

All around the world, there are millions of passionate people with interests and dreams and ambitions that are being misused and abused. And it breaks God’s heart. That’s why, in spite of their talent and their passion, those people are unhappy. When your passions are misused, it makes you miserable.

Some of you might be thinking, “I’m not really passionate about anything right now.” You know what that means, don’t you? It means you are disconnected from God. You cannot be connected to God and dispassionate. When you are plugged in to God, it’s like plugging in to 220 volts. You get passionate!

God is a passionate God; he’s emotional. The only reason you have emotions is because you’re made in his image. God has loved you with an everlasting love. And he gets jealous when he sees you ignoring him for something else. But no matter what you’ve done, he will always love you. That’s passion!

When you spend time with God on a daily basis and you get plugged in to him, you can’t help but be passionate. You start to develop God’s heart for the world. You start to feel the way he does. That’s because you become like whoever you hang out with.

Would you like to have more energy in life? More enthusiasm? More get-up-and-go? Let me tell you where to get it. The word “enthusiasm” comes from the Greek words en and theos—en meaning “in” and theos meaning “God.” When you get en theos, you’re going to be enthusiastic.

The closer you get to God, the more energy, vitality, and passion you will have in life. The further away you get from God, the more bored and apathetic you become.

But opening your heart to God is a choice. In Revelation 3:20, Jesus says, “Look, I’m standing at the door and knocking. If anyone listens to my voice and opens the door, I’ll come in and we’ll eat together” (GW).

Jesus Christ has been standing and knocking at the door of your life for a long time. But he’s a gentleman. He’s not going to bust the door down. You’ve got to open it up.

Psalm 23:1-3 NIV

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.

❤️In our fast-paced world, it is a challenge to slow down and remember that God is in control. We are a society of 'do-everything,' 'go-everywhere,' 'get-it-done' people who mistakenly believe we can handle everything if we just keep going. In reality, we need to become so submerged in God’s peace that no matter what’s happening in our life, we are able to remain as calm as 'the cushion of the sea.'

If you feel overwhelmed, bogged down, or burnt out, add one more activity to your daily schedule: Spend time with Almighty God. It is the only way to reach the depth needed to find true calm in the midst of any storm.

In the name of Jesus Christ, who was never in a hurry, we pray, O God, that You will slow us down, for we know that we live too fast.

Be thankful for the difficult times, for they have shown you how strong you can be.

Be thankful for those who labeled, judged and criticized you harshly. It is because of them you have learned that your value and self-worth come from yourself and not from others.

Be thankful for the many limits that were imposed on you. It is because of them you have learned to break free from all the past conditioning and create your own reality and your own rules.

Be thankful for your past mistakes and failures. It is because of them that you have learned how not to do things. It is because of them that you have learned what works and what doesn’t.

Here are some thoughts to remember when wrestling with past hurt and feelings of unfairness:

1. When something good happens to someone, it doesn’t always mean God condones their actions.

Too often, I think if God allows something good to happen to someone, it’s because they’ve lived a life worthy of blessing. The idea that God only blesses us when we deserve it was abolished on the cross, where Jesus died to give us unmerited grace.

2. God fulfills His mission through imperfect people.

It’s ironic that as an imperfect person, I’m frustrated when God uses imperfect people. In heaven, we can imagine that Paul has met many believers whose lives were cut short because of him. But countless more believers have entered heaven because God chose to use imperfect Paul to guide them to Jesus. I’m thankful our imperfections don’t stop God from using us.

3. God has great things in store for you too.

Being hesitant to celebrate others’ blessings is often rooted in wondering if God has good things in store for us.

But 1 Corinthians 2:9 reminds us: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him” (NLT).

May we trust God and surrender our understanding when He chooses to bless people we feel aren’t worthy.

How is God currently using you to impact people?
