Never, have I ever.

Never, have I ever.

Felt more lost.

Never, have I ever.

Wanted to run away more than I do now.

Never, have I ever.

Felt more lonely.

Never, have I ever.

Been more determined.

Never, have I ever.

Been more hopeful.

Never, have I ever.

Felt more free.

Never, have I ever

Ah, beloveds. Never, have I ever,  felt soooooooo many emotions all at once!

When I lay, on the gurney, waiting for word if I had had yet another stroke, the thought crossed my mind that I really could die. I didn’t.

That knowledge fuels me now.

All I can think about is loving as many folk as I can. Whether I am loved, in return, is irrelevant to me.

Yes, my ❤️ heart longs. I’ll be 58 in November. I have not had a real hug in decades except from my big sis. I’m not sad about that. Just understanding.

Physically, my looks don’t ✋️ stop traffic. In fact  I’m sure I have caused a pile up or two, in the opposite direction 🤔…lol!

Still, I enjoy sharing my thoughts,  my heart. Here. Now. With whosoever will.

Jesus always went in look of the one. He knew the other 99 were already safe and protected. His heart, my heart searches for the one I need of love.

Be encouraged. You are loved As, am.

I am blessed. I was found. I pray 🙏 always for those who feel lost, who feel helpless, ones who feel afraid.

Pain is chasing me to my bed. In the meantime, be encouraged. I hope some have understood these shaky words.

Take care.

Yesterday.

Yesterday, I forgave myself.  For all I had not done. Today, I remain committed. Tomorrow, I will move forward. Forever, I shall give myself the grace, the forgiveness, the hope God extended to me.

Yesterday, I released myself from long held guilt and shame. I gave myself room to move, to grow, and to change.

Yesterday,

Never chosen.

I have chosen a world that has never chose me.

I have embraced a world that has never embraced me.

That said, I’m in good company. Jesus wasn’t chosen. He wasn’t embraced. Still,  He chose to embrace me. In a world, full of millions, He singled me out. He chose me making the circle complete.

Having been chosen, we walk side by side. He and I. I, and He.

Together, He and I, embrace a world that still doesn’t embrace me. I, and He, have chosen a world that doesn’t choose me

Will any EVER choose me? Only God knows. But, He’s not telling. Ah, God, what do I DO with me now?

Never/Don’t forget.

Never/Don’t forget.

There are still good people in the world, of which YOU are one.

Never/Don’t forget.

YOU can make a difference. Surely  you have already been THE difference more often than you know.

Never/Don’t forget.

The end is never THE end. You are continually rewriting/reworking your ending. YOU get to decide who starts in your show.

Never/Don’t forget.

Knowing this, beloveds, why are you so afraid to take a chance on you?

It’s time. Time to write, to tell, and to share ourselves with the world.

Never/Don’t forget. The best is yet to come…

Never/Don’t forget.
