New Every Morning...

"Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty

majesty.

In your majesty ride forth victoriously

in behalf of truth, humility and

righteousness;

let your right hand display awesome deeds."

Rise queens and walk this life you've been given, in victory, in grace...we are new every morning, rising to greet a day full of possibilities and life.

Each day we rise is a chance for new beginnings, for freedom from fear and distress.

Days slide by, one into the next...moments become snapshots of past events, joyful and otherwise...present minded a process with growth chart in hand, gaining ground and slippery footing vying for first place, with love and compassion coming in a close third...

Each day I rise brings a new challenge to be overcome, to be walked through and many days I feel unable, unworthy, lost still in a jungle filled with ravenous beasts dogging my steps...oh, its a true fact that each one can and may likely find days are filled with there own swinging pendulum of emotion, the trick in finding balance with head underwater blowing bubbles of grief and anger mixed.

As each day progresses in joy, in frustration, in gladness and gritting of teeth, I remind myself that, as a wise friend once told me (thank you Frank), every morning we rise is a new beginning, a fresh start at what we may have failed in the day before. And so we rise to try again, and again until perfected...leaving the detritus behind us on the path we tread...sun shining brightly upon our heads urging us on to greater achievement, to personal growth of a magnitude we would not truly expect amidst the noise that clamours to be heard in the hearts and minds of each survivor, each lost one still battling every minute of each day.

We have a Father who loves, who shares in our burdens, who carries us when we are too weak to find our feet...

We have a friend who knows our hearts, our minds and more, loves without fail...promising to never leave nor forsake...no matter who you choose to worship, or whatever faith you profess as your own, there is a path to healing, to love beyond measure.

I have witnessed in these days past, miracles of such astonishing brilliance I found myself sitting with surprise as my good friend...laughing with glee and a joyful heart full of thankfulness and gratitude. Despite a knowing deep within of what God can do, still I stood in awe of the wonders of His hand in a situation fraught with lies, omissions, greed and corruption.

I sit this morning in grace, in gratefulness for what is unfolding before me.

This is our portion my friends...He is faithful to His promises.

“For I will hasten my word to perform it.” Jeremiah 1:12

We are assured of grace, of mercy, of long suffering and compassion...is there anything we cannot do when we have such back up as a Father who watches over us with such love?

I think not. Anything is possible, all is probable...each of us is capable of all that we put our minds to, take steps with, learn and re-learn until experience accrued and gained.

May your walk today and each day forward be filled with peace, with comfort, with enthusiasm for what the future holds...may you be present in each moment, taking pleasure and joy from the little things, the big things and all in-between.

This life is meant to be lived to the fullest...not to be hiding in a corner awaiting the storm to pass, for the rage to file down to mere derision and anger...this could be hours, it could be days filled with studied and purposeful sleep deprivation to keep you unbalanced and shook to your core...

This is not your lot, nor mine dear lost ones...you were created for more, for better, for joy unspeakable and grace unimaginable...fashioned by the very hands of God for MORE, always...so may your steps take you out, may God give you wings to fly free from the cage you are currently imprisoned in. You are worthy of every good thing...

Speak your truth with grace, with dignity, with humility, but oh, speak dear friends...this way is life abundant, free from chaos and raging infants housed in adult bodies.

Go now and may you find your way with Waymaker, Miracle Worker, Light in the Darkness...

May God infill you with strength and courage to take those steps out of the pit and into the light...may He watch over you and keep you safe in all you do.
