As we go through life, we see the changes of the seasons. Yet, seasons isn’t the only thing that’s changing around you. Believe it or not, you are changing as well. Change isn’t always done in a noticeable way. If you stop for a moment and have a real conversation with yourself. You would realize that so many things has changed about you. Take a look in the mirror for starters!!!
“Having a moment to reevaluate self is really a great thing to do for yourself.
We really believed we have self all figured out.” Until the day you have someone to come on the inside that can still be able to see you from the outside and expose your truth to your face. You wouldn’t believe who you become!!!!
To finally face the real truth that within all theses years, the person you think you are is not really your reality! It’s like, Wow” A real shocker” Yeah, I’m shocked too! Kinda like a real hard pill to swallow.” My throat is closing up!
The journey of life can distribute so many cards to you to the point where, you can’t at the moment even think about saying “UNO” it’s so many cards in your hands you can’t even shuffle them quick enough to even hold them all.” Let alone put all your colors together and your draw fours/wild cards to the side.” At the same time you’re on a roller coaster ride that is spinning out of control and you are genuinely trying to just hold on and breathe.”
Sometimes the journey of life will hit you just like that.“ BOOM!!!! Wow, ARE THOSE REAL STARS OVER THERE?!?!”
John 16:33 “{I have told you this, so that you might have peace in your hearts because of me/Daddy God” While you are in this world, you will have (in my own words here-roller coaster rides that are not pleasurable) tribulation.” But cheer up! I have defeated the world.}”
Funny! But not funny!! You know you have a good heart!! You know you have pure intention!! You know you truly want to please Jehovah!! Yet, coming to realization that; “YOU are NOT who you have BELIEVED you are, due to the battles of life you were in that changed you.” You never knew you changed because you felt the same and to you, you still looked the same. But you can’t see what’s really inside of you. Yet, if you listen to the words that falls off your lips. You will hear your change.” Shocked now huh?!” I know, I’m shocked too!!!
See, if you haven’t truly been at war and fought in battle. You may not understand the “aftershock”!!! Some soldiers came out of battle and lost a leg, a arm, a eye, there mind or never made it out at all.” I believe the hurt, disappointment, abandonment, betrayal, being used, rap, lied too & stolen from can all have the same “aftershock” affect!!!
NOW THE PRESSURE & THE CHANGE!!!
After coming out of a horrific battle that could’ve caused you your life. You want to still see yourself as loving for the most part” You still want to love.” You still want to be as normal as possible.” But how can you or anyone else be normal after facing something that dramatic and not be mentally affected and changed by it all.” Losing someone to death is one thing, but going through the pressure of life. That alone, can make you feel like you have lost someone to death due to the severe pain that comes with it.”
We can go through something that will have us walking around here “MAD” at the world & looking like we are “CucKoo” for “Cocoa Puffs” if we are not carefully handled.
I understand we all have to go through. and changes must be made. But it’s when you have put this wall of protection for yourself up for so long. You forget that, your heart is not really that cruel!! But, you see (you are really that mean & bitter) and you never meant to be that way!!! Yet, the pressure that was apply almost killed you” So you felt like you had to do something to protect you from that pressure.” But it was never meant to kill you, It was designed to show you “STRENGTH”
We at times have our moments.” I understand, you are constantly receiving severe cuts in the same spot and you are ready to react because “IT’S PAINFUL” And yes, you have an attitude.” Yes it appears as if you are violently angry.” I get it!! You’re at a breaking point!! You’re ready for all this pain to just come to a end. Yeah me too, I can feel you!!!
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”
It’s something, when you’ve been crushed, rap, abandon, rejected, abused, taken for granite, character sabotage and you still find away to Smile and Laugh Purely. You Are Truly Amazing!!!
Everybody will not understand how you have managed to still “STAND” and not break at the breaking point.” Even though the storms of life that blew you all the way down to your face and left you with absolutely nothing but the breath you breathe!!! I promise you, they will think it was all a lie when they see your true “Outcome” from holding on even after the pressure was applied.”
Don’t Stop Now!!!! You’re in Deep & You’re Almost There!!!!
We Can And Will Recover From It All…
