No Words

The moment you have no words. You hope someone will say something, or you read something, or a tune will play that will articulate the words you can't utter and break your silence. Your language becomes tears but you only speak at night to your pillow. As you recite reasons to be thankful and count your numerous loved ones you sigh realizing there is still something missing. No its not a failed faith formula or an inability to cast your care. Unapologetically this is your reality as Kleenex is your hope and Pandora is wine until you have words again.

This too shall pass...

 

Don't be distracted by the people "checking on you" who are actually waiting on "IT" to kill you. Persevere & Stand! This thing you are going through will hurt but it won't hurt you. Pain is pain in retrospect and should be welcomed when compared to permanent damage. Yes it may hurt. Yes it may be humiliating. Yes you may have some regrets. But God! The moment you care less about image and more about reality is when you declare "I don't just wanna look good, I wanna be good. I don't just wanna look like I got joy, I wanna possess it. I don't wanna look peaceful, I wanna be peaceful. I don't wanna look like I got it together, I wanna actually have it together"! When all the emotional theatrics are done He will meet you there. While they are preparing for your funeral, invite them to the wedding! #evenebony

 

 

 

Why?

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Why are children abused?

Why do people die of cancer? 

Why do teenagers commit suicide and no one noticed they were struggling?

Why did ______________, _________________, and _______________ happen in my life?

The question "Why" bombards the mind and hearts of men and women everywhere.
My greatest struggle as a believer is accepting the notion that we may never know "why".

Realizing this naked truth that no matter how hard we try to think, rationalize, or become critically open about a situation, we have to make it up in our minds that we will move forward not knowing why. This my precious one is called.....TRUST. Trust is believing all is well even when you don't know the details. This my friend is also called...FAITH. If I knew "why" then there would be no need for faith :/

Living in a state of "why" robs us of living a life of contentment. It interrupts our progress and causes mental anguish and emotional confusion. Trying to figure IT out causes unbelief. Don't spend your precious moments demanding answers but declare you will stand on promises. Standing on promises allows hope to rein! Promises: All things work together for the good....Overcome evil with good....He will never leave me nor forsake me...There are no mistakes....

Get rid of the rift between you and God! You don't believe God with your mind but you believe Him with your heart. He does marvelous things without number! He is righteous! He is just! He loves you! Situations don't change the character of God. Let it go...you have eternity to catch up on what happened here.
