milestones

Graduation season…transition, endings, change, new beginnings…I was invited to a few ceremonies and parties…always a reminder (for me) that life is zooming by faster than we realize, at times.

Attending the grad ceremonies and parties had me wondering…are we only focused on external accomplishments? Ambition, goals and all the external achievements are good; however, are we also prioritizing emotional/spiritual inner healing and growth?

Are we taking time to focus on inner healing, create emotional/spiritual goals and count internal health and growth among our achievements and celebrate those milestones?

Consider clocking these as milestones:

Making it one day, one week, one month, one year without calling/texting/sexting/emailing/hanging out with/hookingUP with someone who is unhealthy/damaging/disrespectful

Not being manipulated, gaslit, controlled, run over/by others (regardless of whether theyS blood)

Not allowing our energy or time to be robbed in any way by those who don’t show value for us

No longer needing to “prove” anything to ANYone (being and doing only what’s on our hearts)

Responding versus reacting (recently someone said some unkind things intended to cut/hurt me; I remained silent. I knew there was no need for words with someone hell-bent on having the last word).

Remaining silent rather than wasting our energy on those who don’t care for us

Living fully/freely from the heart (not from fear or societal, familial obligations/expectations or other unhealthy places and patterns)

AND re: all the above – redirecting ourselves as often as we need and keeping ourselves accountable to trustworthy/safe individuals

How can we prioritize our emotional/spiritual/mental health today?

Which emotional/spiritual/mental growth and milestones can we celebrate this week?

Grace upon grace to you dear ones; I’m here on the journey with you and always cheering for you!

Common Day Hero: You are respectful, funny, gorgeous and kind. May you always be Led (in every facet of life) by the impressions/dreams/visions on your heart.  Your heart counts! Madelyn, grateful for you, here for you always and today, I dedicate this post to you.

easter

So, another Easter this past weekend – a reminder of new beginnings, new life, rebirth, restoration, unexpected/pleasant surprises and HOPE (heavenly oxygen permeating earth)!

The truth is that what Heaven has spoken life over…what Heaven has decided will be resurrected, will!

No need to worry about what humans say because if Heaven has spoken, then it is settled.

If you know the Easter story then you know that Friday was excruciating…painful beyond words. The tears, the screaming, the sobbing till voices were lost, the falling asleep from the sheer exhaustion that sadness brought, the shaking, cussing, falling out was all very real.

And then Saturday was silent – eerily so…it may have seemed like we were forgotten…may have smelled like Hell won, may have felt like we were fools…may have looked like we were abandoned…

When ALL the senses have us believing one thAng, iF it ain’t what Heaven said, strength to us to shake it off and stamina to stay the course…and believe that Sunday.is.Coming!

Early Sunday morning, I’m picturing it…the downpour turned to a light drizzle, the clouds started parting, then the Sun went from a soft hello to HEYYYYYY and Humanity witnessed a miracle ~ death, hell and the grave were defeated and Yeshu/Jesus showed up like oh, you were ridiN with me for three years, but couldn’t believe me for three DAYS?!

What Heaven has spoken, promised, declared ~ I’m here; standing on those promises with/for you.

What has Heaven spoken to your heart?

What are you believing for, despite how things appear and what even the well-intentioned say?

What has come to life again (or anew) for you this season/spring?

Common Day Hero: For the laughs, the prayers, the way you take care of your family (and include us!), the way you genuinely follow Yeshu, thank you/shukriya! AuntyGeneva, I dedicate this post to you.

2020+two

Happy 2022!

I still use an old-school planner…you know, flip it open, use a writing utensil to jot down plans for the day, week, month! I usually purchase a planner for the new year in October or early November of the year prior, but not this time!

This year is already different (for me) because I didn’t buy a planner till Tuesday of this week!

In the last week of December 2021, I heard The Divine say, take the month of January away from social media. I said alright. I learned some time ago that I need not understand or even like the ways of The Divine, but IF I choose to be Led…and follow the Voices of Heaven, I will discover some things that would otherwise be missed.

More than not, these days, I listen. And what I’ve found is that, when I listen…

I AM opening myself up for unexpected/pleasant moments…and delights from the Angels!

When we truly surrender, our palms are open to ALL that Heaven has…and I fully believe that I AM living under an open Heaven…meaning Heaven is open to rain/shower blessings of ALL sorts on us…no limits.

What are you releasing, so that your palms remain open today, this week, this month, this new year?

Is The Divine Asking you to step away from (and simultaneously step towards) anything/anyone?

What are you opening yourself up to/for this new year?

Common Day Hero: You were a welcome surprise to my life. Grateful for your kind heart and openness to ALL that Heaven is bringing. JennMcD, I dedicate this post to you.

new

When we’re told that all things are made new, it may not always translate to unfolding how we envisioned it.

Today, I’m thinking specifically of Verses nineteen through twenty-one, in the forty-third Chapter of the Book of Isaiah, in The Bible. Translations vary and I reference so many, but in this moment, it’s the ESV.

“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive (see) it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The wild beasts will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people, the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.” 

The imagery is so beautiful to me…it’s calming. The reassuring piece for me is that I will not be stuck in the wilderness. Also, for whatever length of time I’m in the wilderness, I will be given what I need…sustenance.

If/when I’m in the desert, a place that typically has very little water, I will see rivers! Nourishment and strength will be provided for my time there.

All the animals around me bring praise and adoration to The Creator of life and all things sacred. I join them in worship and celebration of The Divine.

In the desert…in the wilderness…in unfamiliar, deeply painful and rough terrain, I AM fully taken care of…completely provided for…always. And so are you, fellow Warrior!

Common Day Hero: Many may never know the level of sacrifice and honor you provide on a daily basis. You are seen, by many including El-Roi. I salute you, fellow Warrior. Madalyn, I dedicate this post to you.
