Thank God It's TODAY

The magnitude of the battle I'm fighting is in direct proportion to the size of the Blessing that's being prepared. I have posted many inspirational comments over the years. Now, moreso than ever before, it's time to live, walk, and breathe the talk. Trust in FAITH. Be my Best Friend Forever. I've made long-lasting and life changing choices (cause) that have resulted (effect) in me being responsible for where I am today.

Although this is an uncomfortable position, it's actually a good place to be. Why? Because I have been awakened from the slumber and routine of day-to-day. My need for JESUS is greater than ever. He is Praised ~ Thanked ~ Glorified.

The pains are strongest just before the baby is born! I may have lost battles, but I DO NOT lose wars. I Am winning this spiritual war because of Who lives WITHIN me. I am not discouraged nor will I give up, give in or quit. I Am a Warrior whose spirit will never be broken. I will see it through 'til perseverance completes its course putting me on a different trajectory and Victory is achieved!

"Courage brother do not stumble, though the path seems dark as night. For there's a Star who guides the humble, trust in God and you'll see the Light."

In the spirit of me being at the cause of every effect in my life, I ask myself what I am willing to change about myself as a result of my life's experiences?

I have made a commitment to myself to go within, prepare, focus, study, listen, unlearn, re-learn, and implement. Being at another pinch point/chasm in my life, I need a different level of engagement to take me beyond it. Yes, I still need what I'm getting, but I'm now in need of a whole lot more. More access. A broader and deeper engagement in the quality of my thinking - both its greatest asset and its biggest liability.

I will further define just WHAT it is that I stand for - getting myself out of the way and opening my mind to a very different way of thinking. I do not know what I don't know until I'm aware of knowing what it is. I refuse to die while I'm still alive!

Getting beyond myself means getting past my beliefs which are wholeheartedly invested in maintaining their creation - the status quo of my current conditions and circumstances. Beliefs systems have ancestry. Every result I'm experiencing is the child of my existing belief system.

Whether I like it or not, I'm carrying around deep-seated baggage (meaning which is outside of my awareness) ideas that, without conscious intervention, unconsciously influence how I think and behave. There are deep-seated hidden folders within those bags that I've been allowing to control my destiny. I am being TRULY TRANSPARENT with me, myself, and I. It is very comfortable exposing to you my inner most pains and discomforts. There's freedom in Jesus Christ, my Guidance Counselor, who knows me better than I'll ever know myself. I'm dealing DIRECTLY with myself placing this & all baggage on His cross.

Learning for myself and knowing for myself are two of the most valuable skills I am developing! Lessons in self-awareness will serve me well. I am risking everything for a vision no one can see but me! The contents of my life is the curriculum of my evolution.

"I am thankful to all of those who've said NO to me. It's because of them I am doing it myself. A problem can not be solved with the same level of thinking that caused it." ~ Albert Einstein
