So Where Have I Been? And Hello!!!!!

Hello Hello and Hello!!!!
I know it has been a VERY long time!!! I have not written intentionally. However today I've decided to be transparent. If you have read any of my posts, you are aware that I talk a lot about purpose, hope and living your best life ever. I talk about my source of hope, life, love and so much more- Yeshua. On this journey we all know (if you've lived long enough :-) that there are many obstacles and I do mean MANY. And quiet frankly there isn't anything wrong with obstacles if you go through them in a manner that is mature and healthy.They produce strength, growth and patience.

What's Been Going On-Temporary Processes

Adjusting to many transitions for one.I have had so many things change in the past few months, some really healthy and positive changes, that have brought about so many exciting opportunities and have completely brought sheer happiness into my life, I've also experienced much sadness and disappointment. It's something when you can experience happiness and sadness at the same time. In one glance you can see how change is propelling you forward and at the same time it can look like it's taking you backwards in other areas of your life. Some would refer to it as the Yin-Yang affect. No matter how it may appear I KNOW that I'm progressing forward and that I'm on the path in which I'm suppose to be. I thank Yeshua for the people in my life who have been a strong support unit; we can not walk this journey alone and have all the benefits we're entitled too (I'll explain that thought another time). You want to know who really values you, respects you, wants the best for you? Observe  the behavioral patterns of those around you when it appears you're at your lowest ( notice I said appears- they have no vision and understanding of you in depths or your future, only what they can SEE, which is limited). Observe those who don't like the standards that you STAND for. Observe those who speak negatively about those around them to others (not you) and speaks highly of themselves often ( how they do this in comparison to others, how much they've done, etc- this inflated self view is dangerous for many reasons) All you have to do is observe, sit quietly and just observe. Sometimes we just want to speak but there are times just to watch, take notes and use wisdom. Everyone around you isn't on your team, they're not really supporters, though they have on the mascot of a supporter and when the game is high they're cheering you on, you understand your real supporters when the games is low- whose teaching you, showing you the plays, out there on the field with you during practice when the spotlight isn't on? Those are your real supporters. It's very crucial that you know the difference before the "season" starts, before the crowd starts cheering your name, before the endorsements start coming in, before the "hype" begins. Your true supporters will celebrate you, enjoy the success with you but they will also protect you from vultures, remind you that it's about the "team" not you- keep you grounded, be there when you fail, and grow and love you in life. So, though there is much sadness and disappointment through the realization of your supporters, know that it's all for the greater good anyway. Love them(false supporters) during this time, don't act out of character to prove anything to them, don't disgrace their name, love them remain peaceable and continue to move forward.

That whole analogy may seem so random but take what you can from it :-)
I do have some exciting things coming up to share, I'll let you all know in December; 2014 will be AWESOME. You'll get to see what I've been working on so quietly and diligently in my corner.

Also, to everyone who has been reaching out, I would like to say thank you. All is well, for my safety and well being I've been very low key but I will be re-surfacing very soon! I love you all and I really do appreciate you. (they say if you don't want everyone to know everything put it in a book- or a post) :-)

* Life is a journey, a lot of how we experience it is in our attitude, our outlook. Remain positive, do not allow negativity in any form draw you in and change you. Surround yourself with people who are mature, positive, hopeful and deeply rooted in a spiritual relationship with the creator Jesus Christ, they will effectively help you along the way and also and importantly, give back to others the hope and love you have received! Volunteer to those who need to know they are loved, valued and God has a plan for their life!!! Connecting to something greater than ourselves is a blessing.
