adore

“O come let us adore Him” is the song in my head…and on my lips today.

I don’t sing because everything is exactly as I want or hoped it would be. I sing because my HOPE (heavenly oxygen permeating earth) is not in a human.

My HOPE is in Heaven…in the Divine. This has me untethered!

And there are days that no songs come. I don’t have steps to a cure of any sort for what ails us…just suggestions to help us engage (and not isolate). It seems that when we isolate-without-end, it’s more harmful than helpful.

Suggestions (hopefully helpful) – adopt a pet (if you don’t want a pet full-time then pet-sit!). If you’re not a pet person, volunteer to help some of our fellow humans in need. Sign up for a local art, self-defense, calligraphy, cooking, dance, coding, writing, speaking class…or something else that interests you!

May you find joy on the journey, peace in the process and delight (even if just for a moment) amidst despair this holiday season!

Common Day Hero: I see such a tenacity, fire and tenderness in you. May all of Heaven’s favor be upon you always. Aunty Hassina, I dedicate this post to you.

Have you ever had a dream that you let fade away…a dream that you let wither and die? Maybe because the opinions of others carried more weight (in your mind) than your own…maybe family obligations took priority…maybe further education…work…or a plethora of other reasons?

Death is not final because The Divine can resurrect anyone/anything -anywhere/anytime if it’s meant to be!

I think most of us are thrilled to hear resurrection stories, but we ain’t tryna hear nothin’ about death…which must occur for there to be a resurrection! Are you ready to believe again? To make room for resurrection or a new birth?

I thought my personal dream of singing country music with a curry kick was long gone. So much life kept happening and I allowed my heart to be ignored, trampled on, dismissed…by myself…and others.

A few years ago, I began letting my heart breathe again. I decided that regardless of what happens externally, I would prioritize my heart. SO grateful that I made that choice…it is why I’m here today!

I decided to pursue my dreams and enjoy the process!

So…I started writing again last year (thoughts, prayers, songs). I started this blog in 20twenty.

This spring, I began proactively working on changing the color of my urine to a “healthier” one…consistently!

And the dream…that one that I allowed to be resurrected…I’m singing again, for the love of it! I went to the studio to record! I started a “professional” instagram account and I had my first photo session for my music this week!

I AM CurryCountryGirl (to see what’s poppin’ ~ follow me on instagram @currycountrygirl).

Which dreams do YOU want to resurrect (or allow to be resurrected) this week?

What’s one step you can take towards breathing life into your dreams again?

Everything you need is within you. Give it your all…YOU got this and The Divine has you!

Common Day Hero: On our first conversation via tele (when I was not at my best), you were kind and gentle. Upon meeting in person, it was immediately evident that you embody the Light and Love of Heaven. Delighted that we are becoming better acquainted. LaurenM, I dedicate this post to you.

songs

Two songs have continued to come up for me now – one I heard quite often in the 80s; it’s just the chorus of that one that comes up, but haven’t heard it since…the other has some radio time still (it’s only five years old now!).

As far back as I can remember, there are moments, at various points throughout the day (not every.single.day but you know…), songs just come spilling out of my mouth! It isn’t premeditated; just happens.

Sometimes it’s a sad song that lets me feel the pain, sometimes it’s empowering…a reminder that I’m not alone. The Divine is ever-present. Sometimes, it leads me to dance – just fully dive in and embrace the joy of the moment.

Music is a healing agent.

It has always been a great comfort and joy for me. Different pieces speak – The beats/rhythm. The tune. The lyrics. The repetition…images and memories are evoked…HOPE stirred…faith renewed…love restored!

So, I wanted to share these two songs with you. Hopefully, they are a source of strength and reassurance for you, as well, fellow Warrior. 

– Spirit wings by Joni Eareckson Tada 

– Rise by Katy Perry

Which lyrics/poems/verses are coming up for you these days?

Common Day Hero: A seemingly countless amount of things interfere in relationships, but regardless of the interruptions we’ve had, seems the friendship is solid…you are a fiercely devoted wife and mother. Know that you are seen! I’m grateful for you CS (not Lewis – ha!), I dedicate this post to you!
