Fear Post-6

We are facing the creation of a new world. All of us know it somewhere deep inside of us. This time of worldwide plague and quarantine has marked us all in different ways, but make no mistake it has marked us. The old normal is not going to return. We are faced with having to create a new normal. This should not scare us. God is in the business of ushering in new when the old falls apart. He did not do this to us. He is with us through it and as we trust Him He will bring us into a new time of strength and blessing. We have a longer road ahead of us. Let’s not freeze in fear in the middle of this unknown path. Let’s walk it together in hope of better days.

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt

Fear Not Post-2

In this season of the world’s groaning, I think it is absolutely essential to remind ourselves often about the mindset God desires to keep in the midst of all of it.

“Do not be afraid, for I am with you and will bless you. I will multiply your descendants, …”- God, Genesis 26:24

Fear Not Post-1

My sister and I just got back from the grocery store. We have moved to shopping once every two weeks. We wear masks and sanitize everything before and after we touch it.

One of the things we have noticed is that the anxiety level of people (including us) has heightened dramatically during this new season of the world.

Into this new season I want to inject a sense of hope. So the fear not posts will be a series of sayings from the Bible and other sources directed to lift us out of fear and into hope.

Do not be afraid, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great.” -God Ge. 15:1

On Being Led: CCYL-5

Today I am participating in Cee’s CCYL-5 Challenge LEADING LINES

HERE ARE MINE ALONG WITH SOME THOUGHTS ON BEING LED OR FINDING LEADINGS.


“BLACK AND WHITE

I was born into
A religion of Light,
But with so many other
Religions and
Philosophies,
How do I know which
ONE
Is right?

Is it not
My birthright
To seek out the light?
To find Truth
After surveying all the proof,
Am I supposed
To love
Or fight?
And why do all those who
Try to guide me,
Always start by dividing
And multiplying me –
From what they consider
Wrong or right?
I thought,
There were no walls
For whoever beams truth and light.
And how can one speak on Light’s behalf,
lf all they do
Is act black,
But talk WHITE?”
― Suzy Kassem, 

“I wasn’t planning to lead, I was standing in the back and then everyone turned around.”
― Avery Hiebert

“We took the path that led others nowhere and only we saw the light at the end of the tunnel. They warned us about the monsters we would encounter, the odds that we would meet. And they laughed when we got the scars while fighting the dragons on our way. When we came back out of the tunnel, holding the sword that they always craved for tightly in our hand. Bleeding and the sun shining on our face. We became the tales they wanted to be. We became the reflections of what they always wanted to see themselves through. We became the warriors they had always imagined of.”
