Press Fervently Forward

My husband got home from work late last night and we were both eager to take our usual run, to talk tenderly, and romantically reconnect.

While jogging under the foggy sky, it started to rain. We both got aggravated, because it upset our paved plan. But, I said, “Let’s keep going...”

So, we kept running as the rain slowly stopped drizzling. The rain no longer lingered.

We completed our run and we felt like we won a marathon.

If we took the initiative to press fervently forward everyday, God before us, He would cut the ribbon before we even get to the finish line. We’d cross our destined border with an abundance of aptitude.

If we trusted God with a very loose rope, we’d bust out of the corral that captives our mind with worrisome wonders.

God does not want us to give up with ease, because the repercussions will be hardened with depression, anxiety, and defeat.

Run! Run boldly through the rain the rampaged rain! Keep going, keep pressing, and focus on God. Trust His outcome for us, because on the other side of the uncomfortable mist are mountainous rewards.

Cross the finish line and win with a Sunny attitude.

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:14

Look for the Blessing Red Birds, Cherry Blossoms, and Orchids of Beauty in Life

March has marched in with a vengeance of change. In the Trojan horse saddlebags hid a shrewd surprise, Coronavirus. The gray clouds of uncertainty pelted us with “riddle me this” rain. The Trojan horse then galloped over valleys of vividness. Alas, the vivid vex was prevalent over states and pastures. The virus staked our soil with transforming turmoil. Ah, but that riddle rain also brought with it growth of cherry blossoms. They grew tall and strong amidst wrestling weeds of “where’s the joy?” I was covered by those cheerful cherry blossom trees last weekend. My Birthday was March 16th. I must admit, I felt as if one of my unwanted presents was the looming virus. I sensed a thick foreign fog. But, my husband, my Superman, saved my “Birthday”. He pulled me from the dense fog and flew me around our “Metropolis”. We shopped, reminisced, ate cheesecake, and laughed with merriment. It’s as if he set me upon a marriage merry-go-round. Round-and-round we go, on love embellishe...

Everyone goes through trials and tribulations, even unbelievers. The Bible says, “He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” Matthew 5:45. I’ve been through the ‘loss trial’. I lost my dad over 8 years ago and that feeling of hurt broke my ‘feeling bones’ and broke my heart. My heart is wounded and my soul is scarred. The journey of grief made me a stronger woman in the Lord. It was a long, tiresome path to regularity and a different happiness. My dad was the rock of our family, but we have to remember God is our true rock. He is our deliverer from pain and suffering. Dads on this vapor-like earth are for a moment in time. We have to remember God is our heavenly, everlasting Father. I have also felt the ‘abandonment tribulation’. No, my mom and dad didn’t leave me on a cold doorstep, but many people on t...

Don’t let others Negotiate your Marriage

My husband and I have been married for two blissful years. Within our years of matrimony, we are learning that outside sources can belittle your bliss. Those sources can also tense your bond, and cause your marriage braid to fray. Do NOT let that happen! Put up blockades and set boundaries to stop traffic of tension within your romantic realm. Outside sources that negotiate your marriage: Immediate family that negotiates the peace treaty within your marriage and causes chaos. Friends that cling to you or your spouse, negotiating unwanted attention. Activities or groups that negotiate the quality time spent with your spouse. Sinful acts that splutter red ink upon the sanctity of the marriage contract. Foreign frivolities can dampen the treaty of your marriage that you have negotiated with your husband or wife. Outside sources can wet the paper and tear at your hearts causing arguments. Do NOT let that happen! Distance yourself from family (but...
