Each day IS a brand new day...

Sometimes I have to remind myself that each day truly is a brand new day. I do not have to carry yesterday into today. I do not have to worry about what tomorrow is going to no doubt bring. I can enjoy this day for the day that it is all by itself.

What happened yesterday does not have to dampen what it is available for me today. What might happen tomorrow cannot cloud my ability to live fully in this day.

I will not generalize what happens today to mean nothing is working in my life. I will not let one event mar my mood clouding my positive sense of self. My life is 'a good thing' because I am a good thing.

By God's divine will, purpose and destiny are meeting together today and giving me every opportunity to experience the comfort of His Presence and Power. I am set to achieve, create and accomplish wellness, results and experience vitality of life.

I am who God says I am; I can do what He has I can do and because of that, this truly is a brand new day.

Sabbatical Journeys reveal themselves one day at a time..

It has been quite a while since I have taken the time to write. I have missed it. So much is going on in and around my life. So much is going on in the world. I have had low times but I fought hard to maintain my desire to exist until I could connect with my desire for purpose and destiny once again. Those days have been few, thank God. Yet they earned me another day and time to reflect on how awesome God is - when nothing feels right, looks right or sounds right.
I've had so many moments where I felt God's active presence divinely guiding me with concrete evidence. Like He was softly telling me "I'm still intimately here with you, I still love you dear heart". Those moments come when I need them the most and expect them the least. They give me courage to arise and breathe in His strength, His Loving presence. During this sabbatical journey I am learning even more about His Love, His powerful promises and how no matter what comes they are still true and powerful – they breathe such Life into me.
Just by choosing to live I am earning a higher appreciation for His Word, His Will and His Way. Just choosing to live through this sabbatical journey I am earning a stronger, deeper understanding and outlook on the possibilities a believer's life holds if they stand strong in the face of their own life traps as well as tradition, unbelief and universal blindness. This Way is only offered to those whose convictions in God cannot be uprooted, though tried and tested - sway they may - but always returning to rest, still rooted and grounded.
Sabbatical journeys reveal how experiencing true rest only comes from being one with Matthew 11:29 and Psalm 16:9. I want to continue but other life assignments await me, like my MBA paper for one! It feels good to my soul to write this… Yes, this is well to my soul… I am learning some things, like this divinely appointed sabbatical journey reveal their purpose one day at a time. Perhaps that is the point…
