One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
I have good news for you. If you have lost everything, you are ready.
Ready for a change in your in your life. You are ready to start fresh. Ready to try again. Now that you have lost everything, you are able to start fresh. Don’t be afraid. You can do it. You can do more than you give yourself credit for. Set your mind. Trust God. Trust in your dreams. Trust in the goodness in your heart.
I have had to start over. Everything is new. Everything is scary. Still, I start over. I’m not afraid. God will help me. So will Jesus.
I’d just stop by to encourage you. You can do it. Don’t worry about how you will do it. Just know that you can and you will. The thing holding you back is your fear. Release your fear to God. He will help you.
Every day is hard. That’s OK. I eat hard for breakfast. So too must you beloveds. You owe it to yourself to try again. You promised God. You promised yourself.
Its time that you hold yourself accountable to your dreams. A similar accountable accountable. It’s time to hold yourself accountablefor your mistakes. Please don’t wait until a stroke comes into your life before you make changes. Make them why you are healthy. Life is short.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself. I spent two months feeling sorry for myself. My sister and my niece loves me enough to tell me the truth. They told me to start feeling soft for myself. They told me to trust in God. They told me to get a grip on myself. They told me I was wrong. They told me I was not trusting in God. They loved me enoughallow me enough to let me fall down. Still I got back up. I used the irirlove, for me,lot to fuel me.
I don’t know what my future holds. I know Who holds my future.
My sister is teaching me how to write again. I am so grateful to her. I have to learn to use my left hand right now. I am ready to do the work now. Thank you sis. Thank you, Ebony. I love you both.
It’s time for you to get up, beloved. We don’t have time to waste. We have things to do. We must move forward. We cannot allow ourselves to lay down in fear or dread. We have to walk in love. We have to.
Hard times happen to us all. That’s OK. We can do it though. I stopped by to encourage you,to encourage you. I encourage myself.
I am looking forward to learning how to do things for myself now. My sister encourages me to take my time. She is teaching me how to laugh. She used to teach me how to love myself. She helped me find my voice again.
Don’t worry about how hard this next step will be for you, beloveds. That’s OK. Life is never supposed to be easy for us. Yet we can conquer our fears. We can do great things. So long as we get rid of that fear that’s inside of us.
I am grateful for everybody who has prayed for me. I thankful for those who have commented on my posts. Every comment gives me hope. Every comment makes me want to try harder.
I don’t know what you’re facing. Just know that you’re not alone.
Life gave me this stroke for a reason. I take heed to the warning
Use this time to break free of your fear, to get healthy, to walk in victory.
Promise yourself that you will not not give in to pity parties parties anymore. You don’t have the time for them. Neither do I.
Now that, you have lost everything, you are ready.
Be encouraged.

Tough times happen to us all. We are all going through something. We all face challenges that bring us to our knees Literally! I can attest to that!
Still, beloveds, we CAN overcome EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM AND OBSTACLE we face.
Easily? Hecks to the naw! Still, we rise, as we CHOOSE to fight on
This stroke is teaching me humility, In real time! Ow!!
Trauma happens to us all. Trauma gives us a chance to heal.
I have to learn how to speak clearly again. I no longer like the sound of my voice. I don’t sound like me. I don’t feel like me . I look forward to the day when I do.
Take time to heal. Don’t rush it. Healing takes time. A long time. In the meantime, keep going. You get some rest. When was the last time you allowed yourself to rest.
Life is short. Much shorter than I knew. What are you doing with the time?

Note: It takes forever to write now. I spend hours erasing my mistakes and starting over. That’s OK. I am giving me permission to give master permission to start over. As many times as it takes. Make as many mistakes as you need

Me: God,You have broken my heart.

Note: The past few days have been incredibly dark and troubling. It feels as though I have lost more than the ability to walk and use my hands. My identity is shaped by my words. Words have been my life for the whole of my life.
God, for reasons known only to Him, has allowed my voice, for my words, to be struck dumb. He has allowed my song to be silent. Why? Only God knows All I know is to fight to find my son once again.
I just stopped by to encourage those who have lost their voice, for all who have been laid bare. Through your own hand or by the hand of forces, unknown, you find yourself here with me
We are now faced with the choice to move forward or to walk away in despair.
I choose life. I choose love. I choose hope What about you? Asking for A Friend. In case no one has told you today. I love you and so does He. Keep looking up. Keep moving FORWARD.
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
When the going gets tough, I am learning to throw hands!
When the world says give up, I am learning how-to tell doubters to shut it!
When I fall, I am learning how to laugh out loud.
When troubles come calling, I am learning how be still.
When all hope is gone, I am learning how to believe again.
Keep on believing, beloveds.

When will this pain end…*sigh*
Still, I rise. I have to. So do you, beloveds. Life is short and hard for everyone right now…shit…lol Be encouraged.
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
