Meet Negative Resistance With Steadfast Mighty Conviction

Jun 30th

Frustration is brewing in my thoughts and emotions today. Have you ever expressed concern and suggested a possible solution only to have it be met with a list of the many reasons why this could never happen. I am a firm believer that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I often find myself advocating for improvements to prevent possibility disasters, and am usually met with negativity. So…. does this make my thoughts of needing to prevent disaster negative or their thoughts for resisting change negative?

My past has taught me that bad things can happen when you least expect it. You can be living your life, not taking risks, not in a threatening manner and happily enjoying your existence only to wake up one day to find your world is completely upside down.

There is no promise that living a peaceful existence, following your heart and attempting to make a positive influence, and improvements as you live out your days will come easily.

Patience, persistence and entrusting your life to Divine Care and Guidance will give you the wisdom strength and patience you need to endure.

Never Give Up on Your Dreams

Dare to dream. Be brave and move forward with each day.

Anything is possible when we ask for and allow Divine Guidance to lead us.

Focus only on Peace and Love.

Act only with Kindness and Compassion.

Meet resistance with Mighty Strength and Conviction 🙂

Make a positive impact.

Communicate positive resolutions and peaceful solutions.

Be respectful of all opinions and beliefs.

Pray for wisdom and resolution of the negative resistance.

Never give up Hope.

Always Hope, Dream and Pray for Love, Peace and Contentment for All.

With Respect, Hope, Joy and Love, Carmela

The Road Of Life

– author unknown-

At first, I saw God as my observer, my judge, keeping track of the things I did wrong, so as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I die. He was out there sort of like a president. I recognized his pictures when I saw it, but I really didn’t know him.

But later on when I met Christ, it seemed as though life were rather like a bike ride, but it was a tandem bike, and I noticed that Christ was in the back helping me pedal.

I don’t know just when it was that he suggested we change places, but life has not been the same since.

When I had control, I knew the way. It was rather boring, but predictable…… It was the shortest distance between two points.

But when He took the lead, He knew delightful long cuts, up mountains, and through rocky places at breakneck speeds: It was all I could do to hang on! Even though it looked like madness, he said “Pedal”.

I worried and was anxious and asked, “Where are you taking me?” He laughed and didn’t answer, and I started to learn to trust.

I forgot my boring life and entered into the adventure. When I would say “I am scared” He’d lean back and touch my hand.

He took me to people with gifts that I needed: gifts of healing, acceptance and joy. They gave me gifts to take on my journey, my Lord’s and mine.

We were off again. He said, “Give the gifts away, they are extra baggage, too much weight.” So I did. to the people we met, and I found that in giving I received and still our burden was light.

I did not trust him at first, in control of my life. I thought he’d wreck it: but he knows bikes, how to make it bend to take sharp corners, how to jump to clear high rocks, and how to fly to shorten scary passages.

I am learning to shut up and pedal in the strangest places, and I’m beginning to enjoy the view and cool breeze on my face with my delightful constant companion, Jesus Christ.

When I’m sure I just can’t, he just smiles and says “……….. Pedal”.

With respect, hope, joy and love,

Carmela

After I posted this page, I then found the Daily Post Challenge, Identity

We receive a name when we are born, however anyone can steel that name and attempt to sign it, speak it and claim to be you. But we are all created amazingly unique….. with a fingerprint that is unlike anyone else’s, with a heart and soul that no-one else can own or understand! I believe our truest identity is within our heart and soul, our truest and most honest feelings, not in our names.

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!
