“Beauty For Ashes”

The hour glass has turned as I shift gears in Jesus name. We thank God in every season of our lives. I choose faith over fear and peace over despair. The Lord is good and kind to those who follow His commandments and choose to set themselves apart from the world and live holy. He fights our battles, but first we must surrender and put all our troubles at His feet.

What keeps you up at night? Here are some a helpful solution for those with racing thoughts…for those whose minds will not quite down at bedtime. It’s helped me go from 0-4 hours of broken sleep to anywhere between 6-8 hours of restful sleep each night! Praise God!

Psalm 34:4-11. The power of Christ & in sharing your testimony! Save a life…cancel a suicide…deliver hope through Christ. He redeems and restore the broken and the weary…He gives us strength, washes us clean and makes us whole again 🙌

Let’s slow it down & give Him praise before you rise…before your feet should touch the ground! (Psalms:139 & 51: 1-10, Philippians 4:11-13, Ephesians 6:10, Matthew 7:6, Matthew 6:15)

The next time you put yourself down or surrender to fear, ask yourself: Who’s voice is that? Internally speaking, when you are cruel to yourself…Who’s voice is that? You hear the words that say: “you can’t…you won’t….you’re not…or you’re—-fill in the blank with a cruel word….ask yourself about the person behind the voice in your head…but God is with you…Listen Instead for His voice…who does God say that you are. I find comfort in Psalm 40 & Jeremiah 17:14❤️

Psalm 23. -I am currently walking through the “valley of the shadow of death.” While still recovering from an abusive marriage and going through a divorce that is not even final yet, I learned that my husband is already busy galavanting about town with a new girlfriend. “Mr. Pastor/teacher/commissioner” is in complete satisfaction as I am publicly humiliated. In my sorrow, I actually reached out to that jerk and was rejected once more (what the hell was I thinking). Anyway, with a gaping wound reopened, I tried to deal with the stresses my daily life, which include: being humiliated & shunned by most everyone that I know here in Pennsylvania, with one of my dearest friends seriously ill & fighting for her life in the hospital and the indifference from most everyone that I do love back home in New York as I cried out for help. All it took was one more painful thing to occur - this became the “straw that broke the camel’s back.” Without any respite care, completely exhausted, I broke down. —but please know that today is a new day. I still need a moment…but please know that I am well. I have gotten through to the other side of the valley. No day ever lasts longer than 24 hours…and at the end of each night, the moon sets & the sun rises again. Today is a new day! I will resurface after I listen to my own recorded words from my own podcast & apply these truths that come from God’s word to my own life. I’m on a short spiritual retreat & reconnecting with my Source. …but I’ll be back. I love you💕

I dedicate this episode to all of the “Mooshkateers” of the world…to all of the “Meow Meow Meows,” “Pooka-Loukas & Meow Mah-Rah-Meez,”…to my best friends: “Ling -Ling” & “Wing-Wang…”and to all things DELIGHTFUL!!

Abandoned…Erased….and Shunned…Just another day in the life of a NARCISSIST!

Pego un grito al cielo…i cry out to the heavens over the sudden rapid unraveling of my aunts neurological brain disorder 😢

We are more than just a “drop in the bucket.” Our lives are vital, significant and impactful in this world, and in so many ways. We are indispensable, highly favored, unique and important. Our contribution on this earth makes a difference. Find hope in the promises of God. In His greatnesses, He never loses track of His beloved. He never forgets us. He delights in us. He is the God who sees us.
