Silent Healing
Sometimes, you just heal in silence.
It’s no one else’s story.
It’s no one else’s business.
You just keep moving forward.
Keep getting stronger.
Keeping succeeding.
Keep healing.
When you come through it, those who saw your wound will be amazed at the lessened scar.
When you survive, those who didn’t begin with you will nod in agreement to your strength.
When you are thriving, you will be rejoicing how far you’ve come and how far you’re ready yet to run.
Let the silence scream.
And heal on.
He who has knowledge spares his words,
Proverbs 17:27-28
And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit. Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is consideredperceptive.
Dreaming of a Land Faraway
What countries do you want to visit?
There are a few countries to which I have already traveled, and a couple of them are already in my heart…
Ukraine, Africa and Romania
One day, I’d love to visit Ireland, Iceland, Scotland, New Zealand and Switzerland.
A few other dreamlands would be Norway, Italy, Argentina, and maybe Chile and Costa Rica.
How about you?
Where are your dreams taking you tonight?
Be Like Joan
Life is hard.
Surviving can be a struggle.
Take it on like a champ.
You were born for this.
Don’t be afraid.
Don’t hesitate.
Do not fear.
March on.
When you fall, get back up.
When you’re wounded, bandage it.
Shake of the pain and move forward.
You can do this.
You were made for this.
And bonus: when you’ve walked through the fire, and you’ve slain your dragon, there are those following.
And they need your victory.
So, be like Joan. Be not afraid.
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Be Someone’s Hero
There are so many hurting and lost souls in this world.
Why would you ever want to become the one who wounds?
There are so many broken shattered lives all around.
Why would you ever want to become the abuser?
There are so many confused and controlled within our stories.
Why would you ever want to become an he one who brings the pain?
When you want to lash out, reach out in love.
When you want to return the cuts, give grace instead.
When you want to bring vengeance for the tears, give forgiveness and walk away.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean reconciliation is yielded.
Healing doesn’t always warrant reentry of the poison.
Be wise, but still forgive.
Be prudent, but still release the accused.
Holding them prisoner only brings the same guilt back to you.
Open that lock and barricade and let freedom reign.
Walk away to become someone else’s hero.
Move forward to create someone else’s ability to live.
Run toward purpose to become someone else’s hero and help slay someone else’s giant.
Now the Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.”
1 Samuel 16:1-2
