God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made Light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us. We are pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.

"We can't change every little thing that happens to us in life. We can change the way we experience them."
― Andy Puddicombe
CAGE BIRD by Maya Angelou A free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom. |
Picture this reality - just like fantasy. Her name Is Sarah. She laughed at God. Yes! Laughed at the Almighty! Would you dare? She was old. How old? So old she was way beyond the customary years of pregnant possibilities. And barren too! So barren, that womb in her youth couldn't prove a sin if it should. And God sent her an old-fashioned tweet: Hi Sarah, see you peeking; got news for you. Are you sitting down? Grab a pole - you're gonna be pregnant - yes, a mama to remember. "Hahahahah! Ha-ha-ha! Hahahaha!" She belllied up with laughter. "He-he-he-heh-heh-heh! Ha-ha-ha! Hahahaha! Miracles, I've seen. Pleasures, I've known. This is too funny! He is 100 years old." Now, whoever believes old people don't do it (wink-wink) was never married to Abraham! Seems laughter is an aphrodisiac. Ay-yai-yai! Laugh out from your soul. Old Abraham did it. Boom! Sarah threw up! Nine months later her first child, Isaac, was born. Ever heard of Isaac? DISCOVER YOUR HISTORY! You are living that reality - it aint no fantasy! |
Renew YOUR Mind; It is NECESSARY |
Picture this! Fantasy or Reality? He is just a poor boy - blind as a bat from birth - reduced to begging! Talk of the town! (Whisper-whisper-whisper! For what sin is he being punished?) "Jesus, whose sin caused this?" NOBODY'S SIN! Revise your thinking. Revitalize your mind. Jesus spits on the ground, turns mud and saliva into clay, rubs the poor-boy's eye with it, sends him to the pool to wash it off. Voila! He can see clearly now! (Whisper-whisper-whisper! Is this the same person? Yes, he is! No, he is not! Yes, he is. It's him! No! Really? Can't be.) Yes, it's me! How? How? How? A man called Jesus cleaned my eyes! He was here! Didn't you meet him? You'd think these religious zealots - the poor boy's neighbors - would be jumping for joy celebrating the poor boy's clarity - that once I was blind now I can see deal so he wouldn't have to beg anymore! Nope!! His recovery, his good fortune, started a huge agrument - all the way to the keep-them-in-line courts - his recovery becomes new evidence of a DISRUPTIVE JESUS. And here we are! BEHOLD THE HUMAN CAPACITY. Fantasy or reality - the evidence is yours! |
practice healthy beliefs
you are your own person
don't compare yourself to others
the sun shines alike on good and bad
this is my story, this is my song
living my life all day long
free to be awesome
What beliefs hold you back, keep you stuck?
