KEEP MOVING FORWARD...........

Life can hit us hard. Sometimes you get knocked down when you don't even see it coming. Some are cheap shots, some are glancing blows and some can bring you to your knees and when this happens, it’s not about how hard you get hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, but still find the strength and the motivation to keep moving forward. It’s about having the will to continue on in spite of the obstacles standing in your way.

Your are not defined by what happens to you, but rather by how you react to what happens to you. When you get hit, do you stay down? Or do you reach down somewhere deep inside of yourself and pull up the courage that lifts you back on your feet to keep moving forward?

Leave your mistakes and regrets in the past. They do not define your value, then or now. When you stay in the past of your life you become stuck and unable to move forward. In reality, we all have made mistakes with our jobs, our choices, our friends and our relationships. The consequences can hit us pretty hard. To begin learning how to put these experiences behind us, we must learn by letting them go, for you can begin to live in the here and now. Love yourself enough to give yourself the gift of forgiveness and keep moving forward by opening new doors, and doing new things.

Many times your faith may be tested by things that occur in your life. Divorce, money troubles, illness, and a loved one's death can make you question why God or any other entity would allow this to happen to you. Keep the faith to know that you are not alone in your struggles for we are all fighting some type of battle in our lives...simply because we are all human and no one is perfect.....some of us are just better at covering it up than others. In order to move forward in life, you need a firm foundation to step from. By understanding what and where you want to go in life will provide your vision and spirit, it will give you your foundation to keep moving forward. Open your heart and trust that everything in this life, no matter what it is happens for a reason. Faith is having the courage to deal with the problems you are facing in your life. Faith believes that there is a greater good and things will get better. Even though it may seem unlikely, or even impossible, faith is what can pull you through.

Often times in our lives we come across people who are there to help us in our life journey. Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there they serve some sort of purpose to teach you a lesson or help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. Other times we come across those who want to destroy our path or detour us from it, but we have to know that these people come in all forms, you never know who these people are for they may be your family, close friend or associate, roommate, your neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who when you lock eyes with them you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

The people you meet who affect your life and successes and downfalls you experience they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experience can be learned from...those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones but sometimes it is just God's way of calling you back to him to make you grow as a person, or maybe you have to experience that to pave the way for something much better. We need to keep a positive, grace-awakened attitude and keep moving forward.

Be willing to let down your guard, your ego and your pride and be willing to ask for help for there many people who would extend their hand and lift you up if you would just ask. Often times we find ourselves afraid to ask because we don't believe we are worthy to receive the help. We are surrounded by millions and millions of people by design and for a purpose. A hand to grasp, a shoulder to cling and cry on, and a face to radiate hope, faith, trust and support can help you to keep moving on and forward.

Whatever your goals, your dreams, or your desires, you are worthy of achieving it all because God is the dream maker revealed. Don't get too focused on the person on your left, or to the person on your right, just keep moving forward at your own pace, for God is working it all out for your good as long as you trust Him and believe. The closer you get to your goals, dreams and desires, is when the enemy (The Devil) of your soul will begin putting doubt in your mind, heart and spirit, and the enemy begins by playing that self-limiting tape that say you are not worthy of achieving your goals, dreams and desires but if you would just stop, take a deep breath and replace those old tapes with a newer one that confirms the truth that you are worthy to have your heart’s true desire and to keep moving forward. Begin each new day by saying "Today will be my Happy Day.....for I believe I will and can handle any problems that may come my way successfully today. In fact! I believe something good will happen to me and I love me....because I deserve the best life has to offer everyday". For you are responsible for the quality and condition of your life. Your career, your relationships and your happiness are all under your direct control. Learn to listen, trust and hear that inner voice speaking to you from inside yourself for it’s usually right, and it will guide you in the direction you are suppose to be going!

Through it all at the end of the day you must maintain Faith...honor it...cherish it but must of all Believe in it for it is Faith that will deliver you to wherever you want to go in life. When we lose our ability to, we can easily be physically alive but spiritually dead. This could be why God wants us to keep moving forward to our gaols, dreams and desires and also become deeper in our spiritual life. He alone is our rock and our salvation, our fortress; and we shall not be shaken. Keep moving forward. No matter how many times you fail, keep trying because eventually you’ll succee, for it is YOU who has the ability to bring about the change your are searching for in your life. Keep moving forward and as you do be loving, caring and compassionate enough enough to Pass It Forward onto others.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, You have written Your truth in our minds, our hearts and our souls. Let us remember to use this truth to help others. I am praying for all your children - those you saved by your strength and mighty power. We bring to you our hurts, our fears, our disappointments, our worries about family, and our health and the safety of our loved ones. The struggles, the cruelties, and the tribulations of this life sometimes seem so unfair. Please not leave us to suffer alone, Lord; do not turn Your face away. Please answer my prayers and the prayer of your other children who gladly honour your name. It is my hope and prayer that this year will allow ALL the opportunity to grow and to have the will to Keep Moving Forward!! Thank you for Unity. Thank you for Blessings. As we change the way we do things so as to be more relevant to those around us, please help those who find this difficult, to be able to adjust, and give us All the strength and courage to keep moving forward as we keep our eyes fixed upon You. Amen.

WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES.........

In this life we all have experienced missed opportunities,misfortunes and injustices. We may have lost a job, a friend a loved one and even experienced the lost chance at romance and this may have led us to feel betrayed, alone, hurt, frustrated or discouraged depressed and dispirited. But have you ever thought to be thankful for your lost opportunities? Have you ever expressed gratitude in the face of loss?

Closed doors for each of us are the opportunities to move forward in our lives. They are the universe’s way of telling us to move on from a situation that does not serve our highest good and The Creators purpose for you.
As one door closes another one opens but there may be a brief time in between the doors when you are meant to reflect or learn from your old door before you can be ready to step into the opening of a new one. This is a time of preparation and peace within yourself, don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened for in every experience there is a lesson to be learned. When one door closes another opens but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

I would much rather have regrets about not doing what people said than regretting not doing what my heart led me to and wondering what life had been like if I'd just been myself. Learn to have patience with all things but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them for every day begins a new task for you to challenge for happiness is when what you think what you say and what you do are in harmony.

Hold on to your dreams and never let them go. Show the rest of the world how wonderful, unique and special you are by giving your circumstances a chance and others the benefit of the doubt. Take the time to wish on a star that shines in your sky. Take on your problems one by one and work things out and let loose of the sparkle and spirit that you sometimes try to hide within yourself. Stay in touch with those who touch your life, heart and spirit. Always look on the bright side and don't let adversity keep you from winning....be yourself because you are filled with special qualities that have brought you this far and will always see you through - Keep your spirits up, and make your heart happy and let it reflect on everything you do and every word your speak.

Your three best treatments are faith time and patience and make Love your Religion daily! God is the dream maker revealed through the dreams. When God closes a door somewhere He opens a window, for God will bless you with new beginnings if you open your heart to it. God is always moving.....He is not stagnant so we must be constantly moving with Him according to His will and plan for each one of our lives individually.

Yes, many of us have had recent doors being closed where we have had to walk away from some people that were only supposed to have been in our lives for a season but we kept hanging on to them way pass the season's ending. So we find ourselves in the "in between" phase where the door has closed behind us but we are anticipating the door in front of us to open at the right time and we have to know in our hearts concerning some of those issues the timing is not yet ready because we are still learning growing and becoming a whole before we can give of ourselves to anyone in a healthy, loving, positive way. We have to learn to stay encouraged and uplifted. God is working it all out for your good as long as you trust Him and believe. You didn't loose anything because God promised ALL his children that he will recompense and give you double for your trouble and remember Job lost everything but God restored him to a place of abundance where he had more than what he initially started out with.

Look at it as it is a test to see where your faith and trust is, and He does that to all of us because He wants to know if we are there for His presence or His presents before He will release all that He has in store for us. You can do all things through Him who strengthens you. Experience is not what happens to you it is what you do with what happens to you. When you feel like giving up remember why you held on for so long in the first place. Instead of giving yourself reasons why you can'tI give yourself reasons why you can for God knows your heart and he know your desires. I know sometimes we appear to be failing but often it's an avenue to lean on God to guide you thorough the process of passing whatever it is you need assistance with. You'll pass keep the faith. Perhaps we quit on certain battles without realizing that we're just days,hours,or minutes away from victory.

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer never give up then for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. He who refuses to embrace a unique opportunity loses the prize as surely as if he had failed so when you come to the end of your rope tie a knot and hang on......

When things go wrong as they sometimes will.
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must but don't you quit.

When one door closes another one opens bringing opportunities and adventure beyond our wildest imagination. When faced with that locked door take a deep breath give a prayer of thanks and prepare for the miracle that will become your life.

I prayed that you would remember even in the midst of difficult times it is important to take care of yourself and fill your life with things that bring you happiness. I prayed that you would remember when one door closes another one opens and that you would have the strength and courage for whatever may come with change. I prayed that you would remember God promised to always be near and that He will not leave you to face life's challenges alone. I prayed that you would remember all of these things and to know that you will always have a friend in me.

From My Heart 2 Yours
Be Foreverly Blessed, Happy, Loved and At Peace
