It's A New Day

It's an amazing time! It’s a time to rejoice, a time to sing, a time to laugh and enjoy God’s choice blessings in our lives. This is a time to live our dreams, to help someone else, to be an example of the positive change that happens when God lives within our heart.

I'm convinced today that everything happens for a reason, sometimes only for a season so we can grow into God's divine plan for our lives. Each circumstance, each obstacle, each blessing, each promise, each level of maturity brings us to a place where we can claim our place and position in God. A place where we are confident he's always there for us, loving us, encouraging us and giving us peace the world cannot satisfy.

Do you want joy? Do you want peace? Do you long for freedom beyond comprehension? This comes from God. In him there is freedom, liberty, growth, understanding, joy, grace, mercy and unconditional love. Without God, we would be limited by our own abilities. His direction brings clarity, his guidance brings peace, his lead brings purpose and his presence brings security.

We are ALL a blessing in one way or another. We all have a gift to bring to the table, an encouraging word, a unique talent, strength, a divine calling in our lives. I challenge you today to explore and be who God created you to be. Remember, it's a new day! There are new and exciting days are ahead. God is there, waiting with loving arms to guide us through anything. He loves us, he adores us, and he is eternally there for us each and every day!

I Can See Clearly Now

The clouds will one day start to fade and you will see the light of new opportunities, new goals and new dreams. New life will begin to blossom right before your very eyes. This triumph comes through hard trials and tribulations that have made you strong and wise. You are now able to see through the clouded glasses of fear and despair, able to persevere and embrace who you were born to be!

Change is not an easy thing. It transforms you. It changes you. It balances you. It renews you and brings to you a whole new level of self discovery, peace, love and joy. Once you move to this level, you will be able to be a blessing to those who are right behind you. There are many who are lost in a sea of crowds, smiling with tears filled within, and wondering when they will see the "breaking of day" during what seems to be endless nights.

Be encouraged today my friends! There is a level beyond the pain, a level of gain that puts you in a place where the smiles are real, the laughter is loud, the love is deep and the friendship is real. It's a level where you are comfortable being you, comfortable with the imperfections, the uniqueness in which you were divinely made. Don't give up, you're almost there! Your road leads to a place where you are free to be who God created you to be!
