Keeping the Focus on Faith

Jul 13th

I must say I have a Fierce Advocate within me that every once in awhile takes over and lashes out in defense of all things wrong. I much prefer the Peaceful, Content, and Joyful feelings any day to the frustrated and angry upheaval!

It is sometimes very hard once a very negative event touches your heart to not get pulled down so heavily with the injustices that the Good begins to be overlooked. I once read that there are 6 events that are written about in the Bible that stirred Jesus to Anger.

For the past 7 months I have met some of the most beautiful people who have touched my heart greatly but also stirred in my heart great emotional ups and downs.

There was a daily post challenge awhile ago asking writers to describe what they liked about themselves. I find that a very difficult thing to do.

I truly believe as we grow in our Faith with each new understanding we begin to realize that who we are and what is our Greatest Quality, is our Faithfulness to the Greater Power. For the True Beauty within us is the Fruit of the Holy Spirit…………

LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS AND SELF- CONTROL.

I will keep Praying, Walking and Responding……….

With Love, Hope, Joy and Peace, Carmela

Although I am many different things to many different people, my heart wishes to be identified with God, as a child of God, an individual who prays for forgiveness, guidance, to know and share unconditional love and gratitude for life. My hopes are that my writings will help to teach gratitude for life, positivity, and an awareness for making responsible choices.
