Revelation 21 21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. 16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. It is said if you didn't have something amazing inside of you the devil wouldn't keep trying to attack you. I have been through some things in my life...you just have to sit back and laugh because when the devil wants you that bad; you must have something really good inside of you! If the enemy keeps trying to kill, seek and destroy you; he must know you are truly a chosen vessel for God. He knows your voice will help many people along their journey...He knows that your words, your smile, your heart, your joy and your faith are something that can benefit the people who come into your life. One thing you have to know is God wins in the end... God will use everything the devil tried to destroy in your life and turn it all around for his glory. While you shake and tremble because of the things that are present in your life... you are being molded into the best version of yourself. The devil may have stole your family, your home, your finances, your children, your job, your friends and everything to try to keep you down... You stand up and fight for your life and declare you know why his is attacking you! Let the devil know... you serve a God who is far better than him. Let the devil know... you have read of the Great Prophets, the Apostles and the chosen ones for God that God wins in the end and restores everything! The devil wants you to believe you are nothing and things won't work out for the better good but he who is inside of you is stronger than he who roams the Earth...The devil will try any avenue to attack you through your mind or your situations that you go through... This is all a test... Don't break! Get up and reclaim you! Get up and speak the blessings over your setbacks because those setbacks were meant to destroy you... but God meant for them to build you!
I was sitting on a rock this past week in the middle of a creek; embellished by the beauty of the sun shining through the trees and the sound of the water flowing down stream; in that moment I felt like me. I drifted into a space in my mind wishing that I could have a place to call my own without the clatter of the worldly noises. I have always been someone that finds happiness in the stillness of life, but life within the sounds of nature. When you come from a life of chaotic... traumatic experiences time and time again the silence without violence is the most freeing and peaceful space one can be in... I was meditating and tears were streaming from my eyes; while I wondered to myself how I got to where I am today and why I have had and why so many trials come upon my life. I always had dreams and pure ideas of what I wanted to have in my life... I was overwhelmed with the realization that none of my dreams have come true for me to this day. While I was always helping others upon their path I was left in the wilderness to fight battles for others; even while I was fighting my own. I was breaking inside while I was helping others thrive. I had a long talk with God asking him why he allowed the devil to take everything away from me and why do the battles continue to rage on? He revealed to me that I am to continue to love thy neighbor and show others how to overcome as he has shown to me... While people witness my hardships and I continue to praise Our Heavenly Father; it draws them nearer to him....
When it rains it pours but when the sun shines... light comes in. I tend to look at rain as a cleansing of the Earth; just as storms come to rebuild your foundation. When the Earth has the sun without the rain the world would burn up. We need water for growth and we need sunshine to light the way for our paths. Time and time again we all have faced challenges but in those moments you either wither away or you grow. During growth things are working where we don't see them but inside of you that is where you begin to feel the shine and warmth of your soul breaking through the clouds from the storm. Every challenge we face... we need to understand that those are the very things that allow us to discover the parts of ourselves that need healing or correcting. Until you are truly willing to look into the eye of the storm you will not be able to break free from the chaos in your life. When you begin to look at every challenge as it was meant for your growth you look at the lesson with open arms. Sure it may hurt... sure you may not understand... but through knowledge of yourself you began to understand the the things that you needed to learn inner peace. There are people in your life that aren't willing to walk the path of enlightenment... Life isn't about what you have... life is about who you are... the are many that will not understand how you have been able to overcome adversities in life and will make them less likely to understand you. Everyone is struggling in one fashion or another... continue to grow through the storms... stop caring what the world thinks of you because the world knows nothing at all... The light inside of you may scare the darkness in others.... keep being you, keep overcoming your challenges and keep being the best you can be... be very careful of those that lack understanding... because your wisdom rejects the majority of societal norms... that is why you are misunderstood because many don't care to understand themselves. When the thunder rolls through your ears and lightening lights up your world... know that the sun is trying to break through the clouds.... shine on my friends...much love from my heart to yours...
Before the Holy Spirit can truly live inside of you... you have to do some earth shattering self discovery and get real with yourself. You have to be willing to look at the ugliest parts of yourself... the person you are to the world and the person you are when you are all alone. You have to really look at all those choices you have made to be unkind to yourself or others. You can not leave anything out. You have to go full force into yourself and examine every cell, thought, words spoken, bad behaviors and truly own every damaged part of yourself that you damaged unto others or they have damaged unto you. You have to fully surrender! You can not leave one speck unturned! You have to go to the Heavenly Father and admit wrong doing that you have ever done to another human being; place or thing. The Holy Spirit wants you to truly know him and to know the tricks of the adversaries in and of your life... You have to put on the whole armour of Our Lord.
When you live in the ways of the world and you live according to the purpose of the worldly influences; troubles will not inflict your life; as is does being a follower of Christ! Being a follower of Christ means you have to be convicted, accountable and have a conscious for all of the wrong you have inflicted upon your life or upon the lives of others.... Living in the world keeps you in a fog that you don't see any wrong with your actions or the pain you inflict upon others. This is how you start to discern and break free from bondages... When you try to break free from the things that bind you to the world more troubles will come upon your way... It is though you have two people living inside of you... One that knows right and one that knows wrong.... In your soul you want to be free but that freedom comes with a cost....The work it takes is a long and troubled road... Searching every inner most part of yourself of they why's, who and how you got to where you are today.... You have to meat yourself all they way... all the good and ugly. You have to remember you are not only facing the troubles you have had in this life... you are also facing the bondage of your ancestors... If you weren't raised ideally and any worldly influences that were over your parents, grandparents, great grandparents and so forth have left an imprint on your path of existence. When they were unable to overcome the obstacles that were presented to them... they carried that pain within them that overflows into your life.... You aren't them and they aren't you... I know it is a hard fact to face but the tools your ancestors were given may not have been the best... When you look at every person in your life... know trouble waters and storms come upon us all...But you have to look into you and make you better; despite what has been passed to you along the way. I lived in bondage of my past, my parents past and the pain of my ancestors that stifled the direction of the life I always desired for myself... I made so many wrong choices, I made so many bad decisions because of the pain that was inflicted upon me through the pain of others... Meet yourself where you are today... Forgive yourself... forgive the people who have done you wrong and let it all go... If Judas Iscariot could betray Jesus; what makes you think that the people closest to you couldn't betray you... Take up the cross and leave the burdens of the world.... meet yourself where you are today and surrender to the old you and the bondage of your ancestors.
Have you ever woke up one day and really looked at every person, place and thing that has surrounded your existence? Do the people, places or things align with the direction you have chosen for you life or are choosing for your life? Has your identity been stolen? Have there been parts of yourself that have died and not for the better good? Has your internal being been destroyed by the people, places and things you encounter on a daily? If you question any of these things you have had evil entities surrounding your daily life... Look back into your first memory or even those things within your ancestry and find the source of where the destruction came upon your life or your families genealogy. You will begin to see a pattern that there has been a host of; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying's, murders, drunkenness, raveling's of the sin ruining through your bloodline.... This is where the parasites host and feed off of your soul.... Through the works of the flesh those things steal your and the love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance of your life....I can attest that every one of those works of the flesh has generated down my bloodline from the beginning of time... I have fought long and hard trying to master the fruit of the spirit... along the way; when I thought I had mastered those things someone or something would come into my life that took me off course. No matter how strong you believe you are... no matter how good of a person you are.... believe me when you try to save others they will steal, kill and destroy what you have mastered. I always believed in good intentions of people but I realized that everyone is fighting their own demons and if those demons are not abolished they will leach onto you and host off of your light... I will use a moth for example... When it is dark outside and you turn the switch of a light on ...all the moths fly to it... they want it and crave it because they can see once more... There are people that are like that...they will crave what you are... they will crave that you have opened your eyes and are no longer blinded by the darkness... but if you are not careful they will take you back into the darkness of despair and break your wings.... It doesn't happen with the flip of a switch... slowing the works of the flesh will enter your life and before you know it the fruit of the spirit has lost its sweetness.... much love from my heart to yours....
When you seep into the past that is what is present within the mind... Your mind travels back to a place that was present in time... It may no longer be where you are today... but those memories are effervescent and here to stay! Those thoughts can cripple you or make you soar... It truly makes a difference where you take yourself and what you want to explore.... Your soul will be with you until the end of time... Do you keep going or do you die? We all have questions why we have had the life that we do... Why do some have it easier than you? No matter the fight no matter the flight... it will never make sense because you have lost your sight.... Things come and things go... what in the world will make you whole? This game of life is not a fun game to play... When all you see is havoc that comes upon your way... When you are whipped and beaten down to the ground... It feels so hard to get up and keep fighting against the crowds... The memories and the pain that take over your life.... you began to wonder why has everything been a sacrifice... You go to the alter and begin to plead... No more ; this life has taken a hold of me! We are taught that there is a God that is leading our way... Yet, we have free will but which way to sway.. playing in the way of the world seems more fun... when we play in the playground and twirl around... life seems upbeat and no one can take you down... You pursue until you can't take it no more...Why when you have a heart of gold and pure intentions: Do more troubles come upon those who are fool of love and then others come to your life with false pretenses to wreck your world ? I think that is why many turn to the devils ways... It seems easier than to be true to the WORD... because of unanswered prayers...
I was asked what my life has meant to me by daughter and I was asked to write what it has meant to me because I have had so much tragedy come upon my life. Most of the things that have happened to me were out of my control and many of them were in my control. Life to me has been about pouring love into every person or creature I have ever encountered. Life is about finding you. Life is about expression. Life is about learning. Life is about giving. Life is about being authentic. Life is about being true. Life is about kindness. Life is about love. Life is about going through and finding balance. I do not regret for one moment the people I have helped in this life. The only regrets I have were making choices that made me lose myself. Most of my decisions in life have been based on the needs of others and what they needed from me or what I could do for their lives. My life has always been about laying my life down for my fellow neighbors. If I could go back in time. I would have listened to my soul and put me first. I have learned by being a Mother, a daughter, a partner, a wife, a friend, a girlfriend, a student, an Aunt and a worker I never put me first. I have learned that every person in my life I thought was solid never stays. If I would have chose me... If I would have chose me....I would have been someone other than I am today and lived a little more for myself. I would have full filled my dreams. I would have finished the PHD program. I would have taken the trips, I would have spent my life with my other half and the love of my life. I would have written my book. I would have been a motivational speaker. I would have danced more. I would have laughed more. I would have written more. I would have traveled more. I would have had my non profit business to help humanity. I would have painted more. I would have built a house from the ground up and so many more things.... I realized that if I would have stayed on purpose; my life would have been different and I would have had that peace. I have learned that this world is filled with people that are full of darkness and not everyone is good. I would have quit sharing the truths of my soul to those who used up my wisdom to betray me. I would have stopped pouring into other's that did not pour into me or value who I have been. I have learned that I gave myself away for others' to find their path while they took me off mine... it left me to know that pure hearts are rare in this world. The greatest thing I have learned in life is nobody stays and one day it all ends. I have learned that people crave your light but try to fill you with untruths. I have realized that people take things that aren't theirs.... I have learned that I had to go through these things to be a testimony to others. I have learned that hearts in this world are not full of light. I have learned that living in this world hurts.... I have learned that I would never want to live this life again. I have learned that I would never intentionally cause harm to another soul. I have learned that I have made mistakes and I have to forgive myself; as I have forgiven others... I have learned that the meaning of life is to fulfill your purpose and to give pure love away; this playground and this planet is not where I want to play. I want to play in the fields of Glory, in the hopes and dreams of pure love, light and truth. I have learned that my assignment has not been easy.... I have learned that this place has never felt like home. I have learned that I would have made better choices and I could have fulfilled my passions. I have learned the only person you can count on in yourself. I have learned that while I have been an example and overcomer that it hurts pushing through. I have learned that living on this planet is hard.... I have learned what I was sent here to do.... My purpose has never been about me but about every person I have ever knew.... much love always from my heart and soul to all of you!
When you learn how to dance to the rhythm of life; it is the greatest beat that you will feel within your soul! There will be noises and the sounds that whistle to get you off beat. It is through those loud sounds that you will find that the melody of the song is how you truly want to dance or you will create learn your greatest routine. You will search and seek for the harmony that allows you to glide effortlessly through each note played on the strings of the guitar. You will listen to the beat of the drums to know if it matches the waves of the strings... You will hear the vocals that align with words that reach deep into your soul. Dancing through the melodies of life is how you orchestrate the symphony! When you are authentic; you become the best choreographer on the stage you have created. When you miss the beat and one instrument plays the wrong tune... your song won't match what the rhythm of your truth. Paint the stage how you see your dreams... fill it with colors, light, laughter and joy! Paint the stage the way you see the world... not the way other's see you! Much love from my heart to yours...
You will never understand another's trials or tribulations; unless you have truly traveled a road or path that has led you there... before you judge or acclaim to have knowledge; make sure you have the wisdom of truly knowing other's situations or circumstances... what you think you know... you know nothing at all about...unless you have undergone experiences that you, yourself: have overcame or overcome....those are the very things that have made your testimony... you can not testify unless you have been a true witness... your eyes will never be open to what you haven't truly seen.... much love from my heart to yours....
As the year comes to and end and we are stepping into a New Year remember all you have been, all you have done and all that is ahead of you! Whatever happened in the last year was meant to build your character for the present and whatever challenges you have faced or will face you will make it through. Hold onto the bright days ahead even when gloom may present itself; we can't change the past but we can build from the things we have learned about ourselves, situations, circumstances and other people. No matter what the New Year brings you; hold on and keep fighting the good fight of life... You are still here today for a reason; you may not know what that is but you have purpose. My hope for all is that you do keep going, keep pushing and keep having drive to become better than you were yesterday. Each day holds importance; as does each breath you breathe. Be loving, kind and gentle to yourself when other's may not be that way towards you. Each person faces challenges and we don't know what they are but for your sake don't lose yourself in people, places or things that are not divinely appointed. We live in a time where people have lost themselves in a world of false ideologies, false beings and aren't true to the ones who are loyal to truth or words. This year... don't go searching for yourself in other's... search for yourself in you! You know yourself better than anyone and you are the only one that can nourish your soul the way it needs to be. Love yourself a little more and take tender care of your heart. Don't allow life to break your heart! There are very few people in this life that you can be your true authentic self with... I pray the first person you choose to be authentic with is yourself and don't lose your direction. Your soul guides you... be a better person than you were yesterday for everyday! Do no harm unto other's... Trials will come your way no matter how good of a person you are... but you have to keep going! Make amends to those you have harmed or have harmed you...Live for today; when tomorrow doesn't come; how will you know you lived your best life for today? Much love from my heart to yours...
If you have people in your life that say they care about you and they do the opposite of caring... It is not truth. I had a very profound insight about a friend that told me they were worried about me some time back while I was going through some traumatic times. I thought about that statement; time and time again. If a person is truly worried about you and your life they would never harm you in any fashion... if a person truly loves you they would never do anything to hurt you purposely. The times we live in are very profound and scary. Who is it that you can truly trust and rely on to carry you through your days? A friend is someone that helps you rise on the days you feel like you can't get up. A friend is someone you can confide your deepest secrets to and they don't hinder you with judgment. A friend is someone who is a person who is there for you when you can't be there for yourself. A friend is someone who makes promises and keeps them. A friend is someone who is loyal to your growth. A friend is someone who would drive across the country just to make sure you are okay... A friend is someone who gives you an ear or makes you laugh on your worst day. A friend is someone who makes you be accountable for your actions. A friend is someone who is not jealous. A friend is someone who you lean unto when you can not stand. A friend will hold you on your worst days and on your best days... A friend is someone you share the parts of yourself that you are afraid to share with the world. A friend is someone who doesn't hurt you to make themselves feel better... A friend is what you need to be to yourself because that is where your loyalty remains... Be loyal to loving yourself and picking yourself up each day because you are the best friend you will ever have... Embrace your imperfections and treat yourself the way you would like for people to treat you... much love from my heart to yours...
Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and truly looked into you own eyes? Have you ever looked deeply into what lies beneath the surface? We often look into the eyes of others but do we look into our own souls? Who are you in there? What does the world see and do you project who you truly are unto the unforeseen depths of who you are to the external world? Yes, we portray to the world the outer shell but do we truly convey who we are or hide behind the physical body. There is something amazing about being able to look at yourself and have no shame for who you are inside or how you appear to the world. When you deeply dive into those parts of yourself it is the most amazing experience. Nobody knows you; nobody knows the things you have gone through and nobody has had the exact same experiences; as yourself. The imprints of your soul are present in your eyes... the reflection of who you are in this imprinted on the heart and souls of others that you have helped in one fashion or another in this life. The love that you have poured into the unforeseen is between you and your eyes. If you have caused malice upon others that reflection in the mirror will never seem beautiful to you... If you have been a kindred and pure soul you will never be ashamed of who looks back at you... Sometimes when you shine like a mirror and you reflect your peace and beauty unto others; they shatter like a broken mirror.... When a mirror can't
Today, I laughed so hard that tears were coming from my eyes... my belly was aching from the tummy muscles tightening.... There was so much joy and life inside of me. I was free once more in the happiness of being me! Nobody to tell me who I am... Nobody to ask me or question who I am... I am me! I am the whimsical, belly laughing, fun, shining, vibrant, magnificent being... I was created to be.... Nobody to take my shine... Nobody to steal my joy! I have allowed people to take away the very essence of who I have strived to be my entire life... I no longer have to explain myself to anyone... I no longer have to fear saying what is on my mind! I am free! I can listen to the music I choose, I can read the books I love to read... I can talk to whomever I want... I can paint a silly picture... I can write a silly poem... I am no longer bond by fitting someone else's mold... Accept for who created me... I was created; as we all are to be free... Free of burdens... free to know everything will be okay... Free to cry... free to feel... free to acknowledge when we are not okay... I choose joy... I choose me... each day I lay my burdens down... Each day a new challenge will come.... The only person that truly knows me is me! When you stop explaining yourself to people... you are free! Be you..Be brave and don't ever let anyone make you feel less than you are... Break free of the bonds and burdens... So what if you have made mistakes... so what if you lost your way.... so what! This too shall pass... Not sure where I am going or what will happen in my near future... But what the enemy means for your or my harm... The All Mighty will turn it around for his good... We have to embrace our assignment in this game of life and keep going... Keep carrying on... It doesn't matter what people think of you... It doesn't matter... in the end we meet our final destination.... For the rest of my journey... for the rest of your journey just don't worry how things turn out... Just live your best life while you have the chance...Don't forget to laugh... don't forget to rejoice through your battles... So what if you screwed up... If the bulb was meant to light without the screw head or electricity; it wouldn't have needed the circuits to brighten up the room! We need all the things in our lives good or bad to help us glow and ground us... the darkness and the dark parts of ourselves are what makes you shine far above the clouds of despair... Desperately search for you... and you will find yourself... Don't run from your pain... learn from it and laugh at yourself to good tears...You have to laugh at yourself and just say "It will all be okay!" much love from my heart to yours....
Moving into the end of the year... looking back and reflecting on the past year has been the most devastating year of my life. When you lose so much and became numb to the life you once knew it changes you drastically. The people I had once known, betrayal from my most trusted allies and the situations I had experienced. The most important people in my life changed me at my core; knowing and some unknowing... Trauma after trauma, trigger after trigger, nightmares, betrayal after betrayal, flashbacks, avoidance of people, places and things. So much that comes along with so much devastation. I disconnected from everything and every person that has reminded me of pain that they have inflicted upon me. I would try to express what was happening to those closest to me and they seemed to make it worse and truly did want to understand the depths of my despair; and could care less of the pain I was enduring. I became exhausted in life... too exhausted to sleep, to smile, to reach out to friends, family and loved ones or to fight with people. I no longer wanted to hear about anyone's problems, issues or circumstance people were going through. Many people go through minimal issues that could not understand the depths of my heart break but my world was turned upside down. I had no one by my side.... nobody to help me get up for the day, nobody to remind me to smile, nobody to hug me and nobody to love me and help me put myself back together. Each day.... I went through the motions of self work and trying to bring a little life unto others... Get up everyday go to work still smiling and trying to bring light unto others as I will continue to do while I keep pushing on... until the day I am no longer needed on this planet. I have always been the woman to put people back together and to help others love themselves... when I was broken I had a couple people keep telling me to keep going. I finally realized that the Happily ever after ending is mine to have and people who are full of deceit and have no shame should bare no burden on my heart... The only love you truly recieve is the love you give to yourself and pour unto humanity... if people are in your life to benefit themselves; what benefit are they to you for your growth? In this years closing know what all it took just to make it through each day... You may have struggled all alone but now your eyes are wide open... Look at you today... you are becoming stronger, wiser and less gullible... and now you see more clearly.... Each day do one kind thing for yourself and another... Move into grace and step away from daily stressors...The only person that will be loyal to you is yourself... Evoke in you the parts that have been sleeping... Pour the love you have poured into others unto yourself... Always much love from my heart to yours....
When you are thankful for all that you have and all that you have lost... life holds so much value. When you value who you are as a whole being; nothing else really matters. I am extremely blessed finding myself once more and the people who are in my life. I had an encounter the other evening that make me realize that I am so thankful and grateful for where I am today. Being thankful for who we are inside and no matter how rough life can get we keep going. I had seen something in a person that made me very aware of myself and the outside world. What I don't want to be and what I truly value about myself within those surroundings everything seemed so clear. Be very selective of the people you allow to enter your soul source/ space. I definitely know what I want in my life and what I don't.... I have recently connected again with a friend that has opened my eyes and reminded me who I have always been. I have undergone in my life to where I am today. For a very long time; I was missing the kindness of people and who I could be my authentic self with... I have no shame in anything I have done in my life and there is some thing about being vigorously honest with someone about everything and all they do is encourage you and wipe away your tears. I have missed laughter, speaking about God, Art, writing, reading, studying and someone doing very kind things for me and speaking very pleasantly to me... When you have people in your life that speak your language it truly makes a difference in your daily encounters...I only want the best for people and hope everyone learns to love themselves... nobody can save you...

This season be thankful for new beginnings... forgiveness...kindness and being open to living simple.... much love from my heart to yours....
Internal healing happens when you completely surrender to who you are and let go of who you thought you should be. You have to dive deep inside to those wounded parts of yourself; that the world can't fix or people can't fix. You have to be willing to fix yourself. Some people have it very easy in life and don't have to undergo a lot of transformation because many of those people belong to the world. If you belong to the world you won't have to overcome many struggles but if you belong to the spiritual realm you will continually have situations that come upon your path that challenge you daily. Those things are meant to break you; however they are the very experiences that build your character and authenticity. Life circumstances are the elements that you needed to mold you! They become your testimony of your life to help others to overcome and transition. When you have a calling on your life you have to be pressed, shaken and burned so people can see your strength. When you rise from the ashes nothing or nobody can stop you! Would you rather get help from a person who has never undergone true hardship or someone who has had it easy? You will never know the core of someone until life situations happen that brings havoc upon their life. True wisdom and understanding can only be known and obtained to those who have undergone the fire in the hail storm. When seeking wisdom you must truly get it from the wise; to get understanding you must get it from the ones who have overcome and overcame. To truly be victorious is not to have an easy life... To be victorious is the love you pour into a broken vessels and send light to other souls.... much love from my heart to yours....
A critical mind or a critical person will never allow you to grow into the authentic person you are... If you have people or things around you that do not allow you to flourish and beat you down with everything that comes from your heart or your mouth... Those people are life beaters... The beaters that swirl your world around to smooth out their own infirmities to make themselves feel better because they don't have your skills. The mixture of who you are and your life experiences help you to balance the perfect flavor for your meal.... Some people don't know how to add the perfect spices and their meal becomes bitter... there are those that will come and add lemons so they can ruin your perfect dish... We all need help from time to time to correct the spices to flavor our lives... Make sure your taste buds enjoy the zest of life....and not adhere to an acquired taste....
There are moments when you absolutely just get what life is all about; There are those moments of inner peace that you realize that you no longer crave anything more than being true to yourself. The world no longer matters in the way it once had or the people who you have known upon your journey. The only people, places and things that matter are no longer about the mass that takes up space. The wholeness that you have concluded was not what truly made you whole. Your whole being along the way had been given away to an existence that did not exist in you. When one becomes self aware and aware of others the trajectory gets you on course. The course of self discovery is of a binary equation... When we realize the depth of existence within the planes of non resistance we can sit with ourselves and no longer have the need to be manipulated in a world of false beliefs. When you feel inner balance, love for humanity you do not look at life or people the same. You emit love, acceptance and gratitude for all of your encounters. LIfe is a bounty of beauty and beauty is light of love.... Be you and be courageous enough to know who you truly are or you will miss your whole purpose... Reclaim You Today!
There is something exhilarating about when a plan goes up in the air... I always feel the freedom of my soul entering into another atmosphere; almost the same as when I get on a rollercoaster that brings so much excitement to my soul. The best parts of life are being free. The feeling of just being able to breathe without anyone or anything holding you back. I had a very interesting conversation with a gentleman on my way back home on my flight. The man and I spoke about our dreams, relationships and a little about our lives. He owned a gym and he told me his passion has always been helping others live their best lives and he is very passionate about children. We both shared the same depth of what it means to give back to a world of those who feel helpless. He was telling me about all of his wishes in life and he was comparing himself to his friend that was living the high life. I shared with him my faith and what it really means to be living in the world we are today.... Life is not about things... Life is about leaving things behind and finding our true calling. It is what drives our soul. I shared with him some scripture verses, my life story, laughter and shared a few tears. As we existed the plane... he walked with me and thanked me for reminding him to keep in pursuit of his Faith something that he almost forgot carried him to where he is to this very day... where he is in life... He smiled at me and said, " Brandi, Don't you ever lose your Faith you just restored mine!" That gentleman had no idea how much I needed to hear someone speak such kindness over me that day... Why being kind to others is the only option... no matter how far we go... we can never forget what blocks built us to help us rise to the top! The cornerstone of who we are can never be demolished even if we have to rebuild one block at a time... life may be a rollercoaster full of highs and lows... freedom and exhilaration is found when we put our hands up in the air....
There are some people in your life that would travel the globe for you and then there are those that won't even drive a mile for you... There are people in your life that are your soul family... those people in your life that just get you! Those that you share your greatest accomplishments with and your deepest sorrows... There are people that value your every essence of your being... that allow you to be real, imperfect, quirky, goofy, spiritual and can laugh or cry for hours together... happy tears or sad tears and never any judgement... You help each other rise and never let each other fall! You climb the highest mountains and remind each other that it takes one step at a time to reach the top... looking backwards is never an option...here is to flying to the highest elevation and always remain grounded! You can never place a price tag on authenticity... You have those people in your life that help you rise when you are at the lowest points of your life and never leave you to your own demise. You have the kind of people who understand the sadness in your eyes and the silence in your screams! You have the kind of people that will carry you when you forget to breathe... You have some people in your life that will lift one arm and help you lift the other.. I will never forget the people who have truly had my best interest at heart... I will never forget the people who didn't feed me to the wolves.... I will never forget those that wiped the tears from my eyes... I will never forget the people who tried to help me heal wounds.... those are truly people who have an anointing and to them I will always be grateful... While I healed and found me again... they loved every broken pieces that put me where I am today.... free from the past.....
Tonight, I was sitting outside on this beautiful fall evening and it was the most peaceful and amazing feeling. When I looked up to the sky I could see the moon shining brightly behind the clouds. The clouds were moving with a special delicacy. I could hear the tree branches swaying and the wind flowing between the leaves; the sound reminds me of ocean waves... ever so magical and peaceful! The peace and sounds of mother nature echoing in my ears and reaching my soul was amazing! This is the kind of peace we should all acquire to have on a daily basis. There will be moments in time that you will feel disconnected and not in touch with yourself but you have to go to a clear space and take in the most simple pleasures. Exhale and Inhale the the stars that light up your sight... The glowing of the moon and the the twinkles in the sky are like the sparkle that is inside of you...
I love the freshness of the cool morning air... I can hear the wind briskly cascading through the trees with the crickets chirping in the background... As we all rise and wake on this beautiful morning..take in a deep breath of the cleansing cool air and know the seasons change to shed away things that aren't going to help you to continue to grow... A tree will never grow or strengthen without shedding the leaves of the past season... Sometimes we hibernate to be filled with the true nutrition of life...expand and ground your roots in fertile soil so next year your branches and leaves flourish into the next season of your life
.from my heart to yours My whole life I have had vision and dreams and at times they can be blessings and curses! It can be hard when trying to explain to people about having premonitions and vision. When one is connected to the Holy Spirit he reveals things about people, places and things can be very overwhelming at times. God opens your heart to see things as they truly are and not to be mislead by the evil that represents itself in your daily life. I have shared my visions with people my entire life. When you are full of the Holy Spirit the enemy tries to derail your life in any fashion that he can. I understand what it means to be evenly yoked more so now more than ever. Not many of the relationships that I have had in my life have been ordained by God. A man of God would honor a woman of Christ and one that prays for him and him for her. As well, as your daily relationships and friendships will foster a prayerful life. I realize that many people have been imposters in my life; when all I desired was to facilitate growth. Being a friend to the world is no friend of mine and it took me many years, trials and tribulations to come to this truth. I have helped many people at their lowest points in their lives while they have left me to fin for myself and to treat me poorly. This is how I know they are not of God or were of God. I have shared my visions with some of my most trusted people and they turned on me. It is strange how people know that you see things, have visions, dreams and they will betray you but when your are chosen by God; he reveals the things people do to you in the dark. For this... I am grateful that I see things clearly through God's eyes. I thought I could save so many people; maybe in some essence I did help them out on their journey to open their eyes. I have to rejoice in knowing that maybe through me I did help shine a little light unto their path. For this now; I truly have been testing the spirits; as Christ had told us to do. I see now more than ever my visions are unfolding quicker and quicker. I see now people will betray a brother and not truly be who they say they are. This my friends is the world we live in and it's coming on worse. To be a friend of the World or to be a son or daughter of God is what you will have to choose. I tried to warn those closest to me but they chose the world over the truth I have known. I have tried to help people choose the narrow path but their path took me to open wide gates. I have seen the closest people to me turn on me and help a complete stranger more than they would help me. If people claim to love you and believe in you; you will see by their actions of how much value you really have in their lives. Most people will choose the world over you and those are not your people. God's chosen people would not and will not cause harm to you intentionally... Don't lose yourself in the fight ahead... Live with integrity, loyalty and love....In Jesus name from my heart to yours....
