Detached

There comes a time in our lives that we are tempted by something that can change our lives in a way we can never imagine. In some circumstances we can have what I’m going to call a flesh attack. In case you don’t know that is when your flesh demands satisfaction. In that state we forget about the consequences or we just don’t care. A free for all is not necessarily free at all. Someone is going to pay be it one or both involved.

Her future had taken a sudden turn

The flesh got in the way

Never again would she be

The carefree teen she was yesterday

A decision that never crossed her mind

Had been made for her

The secret fun she enjoyed

Had gone a bit too far

She wondered as tears

Streamed down her face

How could this happen to me

No more will life be carefree

When she shared the news with him

He turned and walked away

Hadn’t seen or heard from him

Since that dreaded day

The unexpected bundle of joy

Had made his way

The pain and push

Now complete

Is here to stay

Where is the joy that abounds

Blank face and stony heart

Cold eyes starring into space

No connection to be found

Detached from the start

EMOTIONAL ENCOURAGEMENT

/ emmalmoore / 2 Comments

In the world today there are a lot of people who are down and out. When I say down and out I’m not just talking about financially but emotional.

Being emotionally down and out can be a detriment to financial stability. It’s hard to  think about anything but the heartbreak, disappointment or mistreatment—to name a few.

Encouragement can be a way of helping the person through their hard time. Sometimes there is a chance meeting and you get only one conversation but that may be all they need. Other situations may require more encouragement.

 

Encouragement is the answer sometimes

For problems you may never know

Step out in faith

Without a clue

Trusting in the One who has the answer

And can guide you to bring a person through

 

Do you give encouragement? Have you ever needed encouragement?

Regroup-It’s Time

/ emmalmoore / 3 Comments

There comes a time when various aspects of our lives need a little regrouping. These range from jobs to friends and everything in between.

Friendships need to be looked at on occasion. Some go and new ones come. If the friendship goes bad you have to regroup before moving forward.

Changes need to take place with employment. Asking for a raise or getting a new job causes an aspect of regrouping.

A marriage, new baby or divorce all encompasses changes-for the good and bad. You have to regroup from the old to the new.

Changes are an everyday occurrences in our lives. After the shock of many changes we have to regroup. It’s a part of life we can’t get around.

How do you deal with regrouping in your life?

Thankful for My Exodus

I’m not the same person I was four years ago when I made my exodus from Ohio to Texas. When I arrived in Texas I was a hot mess and I didn’t realize it. The fact is I was a hot mess in Ohio before I left but it wasn’t easy to detect.

I’m thankful that today, 3 years 11 months later I’m a new person from the inside out. I’ve been delivered from many issues that have haunted me for a long time. Not only did I overcome the issues but also lost weight. Those issues would have hindered me from moving into my purpose and destiny. I’m liking who I have become. All this has happened by the gentle hand of God.

Can you look at your life and see anything you’ve been delivered from? Has your life changed as a result of the deliverance?
