19 degrees!

 

When you’ve experienced -14 degreed weather you can appreciate 19 degrees.  19 degrees?! Hey! Summer, Summer, Summer Time! Shedding off all my protective gear for the season is now changing. Protective gear can be a relationship, an unwanted job, fear, doubt, regret, unforgiveness…whatever you have used soely for survival; What you needed to get through those frigid times is now considered unnecessary weight. Its ok to trust again. Its ok to love again. Its ok to smile again. Its ok to believe yet again. What once was is no more and shall never be again. There was a time all I could recite was “Will it always be this way”?  I am here to tell you….NO It will not! There has been some bad weather/storm damage causing you some injury seen and unseen. This season you have had some success but not enough to recover all that was lost leaving you unable to feel good about the work you’ve done or the life you'releading…don’t quit the breaking of dawn is soon approaching.

 
During those seasons the comforter would remind me He was preparing me for _____________, which I didn’t consider to be comfort at all; the thought of it actually disgusted me as I considered myself to be doing just fine without ____________________.  Good thing Father knows best.  Fast forward to today as my character is being built, my worth solidified, and my freedom wings soaring to different heights with each new stride. I am not sure what it will be like to have _______________ but I do know that my God has the best on reserve and I trust Him with the details.

 

As you transition to what you to know to be your breaking of dawn I encourage you to Romance yourself. It amazes me that most people don’t do this as this has become a common place for me. Take yourself to the finest restaurant and order the works. Light some candles and lotion dem crusty feet with some soulstress nothings playing in the background. Write yourself love letters and buy some flowers and act surprised once you’ve vased them, thanking yourself for the gesture. The new season that you are about to embark upon is going to need your most assured self, fully loaded loved self, and the self that can refill when the lights camera and action ceases and the ones you love are pre-occupied. It is important that your own companionship is lacking nothing and anything additional is your cup running over. The thing you thought would complete you, compliment you, and caress your imperfections can send you into an extreme deficit as you expect them to fill your bucket with a hole in it. Romance yourself, stimulate your desires, arouse your dreams, tickle your fancy, excite your mind, fuel your fire… Romance yourself. . The new season that you are about to embark upon is going to need your most assured self, fully loaded loved self, and the self that can refill when the lights camera and action ceases…

 

Until Next Time,

Draw from here, Drink from here, Quench you souls thirst here
