THE VERY BEST ❤️

In life's amazing journey, we begin and end with love.



Thank you Yeka for asking me to share some of my life lessons. Each of these reflections comes from my journal, which is updated with thoughtful words from reading and commenting on others’ blog posts. These are in no particular order.
1. God has much in store for the coming days, weeks, months, and years. He feeds us with the bread of life.
2. Happiness can show up in unexpected places.
3. Love brings an avenue for a person to support another. This is the richness of true unconditional love.
4. I can never expect to walk perfectly with Jesus, but I can work to listen to Him and abide in His teachings.
5. Young love may be filled with excitement and passion, but love that matures and blossoms like a rose is wonderfully precious.
6. Sometimes, all we need for a successful journey in life is to take that very first step.
7. Life is worth savoring precious and special moments with the people whom we love and care about.
8. We should never give in to the power that tries to muzzle us. Yes, let us keep swinging for the fences and take our best shot.
9. Having true friends is precious! We need to stay connected with these special relationships.
10. We all have our own identity, which allows us to leave unique footprints in the sand.
11. Humility is a word of strength to Christians. We humbly walk with Christ just as He humbly walked with His Father.

The Mind of a Champion!
I’ve learned and am learning to live a purposeful life while dealing with challenges of my disability.
Today’s blog post on how to live beyond your limitations despite living with a disability is about the purpose of this website though I shared my bouts with fear, insecurities, low self-esteem, and depression. It all stemmed from how I saw myself. I am planning great things for my website. My goal is to talk about what it takes to live and cope with a disability and still have a purposeful life.
Whether you have a physical disability or not we all face our challenges every day. Let’s tell our stories! And, I’m not talking about a “pity party” story. I don’t want people to feel sorry for us. I want them to see a champion!
Someone who gets up every day who gets up despite the pain, suffering and discomfort.
That’s a champion in my book!
A champion is not just about receiving recognition from others. Your courage to get back up every day and fight makes you a champion. The only one who needs to recognize that is you. You need to embrace that you are a champion. We are made in the image of God; He put within us the ability to be conquerors but whether you walk in who God has called you to be is up to you.
Even in the face of these challenges, keep moving forward…

HAVE THE COURAGE TO BE DISLIKED
I saw this statement on a meme. It takes a certain amount of courage to not be bothered by being liked.
The people pleaser in me would never allow it. There were times I forced a smile or a conversation with someone who I knew didn’t like me or gave off the aura that I wasn’t worth their time. Imagine using all that time and energy trying to convince someone how much of a great person you are instead of letting them think whatever they want and going on with your day.
At one point I was fearful of being disliked by people to point where I changed my desires and thoughts. I stopped doing what I felt was right for me and my context and every decision had to be approved by someone.
Now you would think I would be past all of that, huh. Sometimes, I’m still fearful but sometimes I don’t care what you think.
Many of us worry too much of what others think of us—our worrying stems from the fear of being judged.
How do we stop being bothered by the opinions and perceptions of others?
We understand that what people think of us has no hold on our destiny and it doesn’t change what God thinks of us.
