Good afternoon. How’s your Sunday going? Did you and/or do you have the opportunity to be in Community? Last night we had a Great Saturday night in community in our group meeting . Your Community/Tribe can be anything you want it to be. But please realize that by having the ability to seek out and become a part of any Tribe/Community that does not mean it’s good for you. It may initially feel like it is good for you but how do you feel after ? Do you feel the need to either consciously or subconsciously to repeat the behavior for the feeling? Do you feel good ( not perfect) when not in Community/ Tribe? Does the Tribe truly support and Love who you are and/or want to be? While, we can only live life in the present moment we also need to realize that our Tribe/Community is our future. We have doors / options with Tribes do we do the work to maintain the course or take the easy way out with whatever feels good at the time . Here’s the thing that feeling will return only increased and the desire ( obsession) return to do whatever you were doing at the time to feel good . But as we know when you run down the hall you are still with you , not going anywhere. Why not run down the hall with a supportive truly loving Community/Tribe. Next time you are running down the hall look back and see if that is Grief chasing you . If it is consider stopping and acknowledging it, let it know you see its presence. Let it know you no longer choose to run from it . Tell it we can either jog or walk together no more running. Let it know that you feel its presence. You will acknowledge it and allow it to flow but at the same time no more running down the hall and will not allow it to consume you. Next time you want to do that hit, practice infidelity, gamble , work compulsively, drink, isolate( not in a good way ), procrastinate , shoot that drug , heck even sleep all the time , or just simply run . Look around truly look around is Grief there ? If so acknowledge it and start the process. You already have started the process by acknowledging it congratulations. Now ask yourself do you really want to do XYZ or is this just covering it and actually making it worse? Loss can and I venture to say will be excruciating painful but it also holds the potential to reveal a great lesson for us . We have the potential to unlock the door for something greater to emerge from the ashes of it. Next time you have a persistent thought and/or feeling ask yourself why you feel that way ? Then do the work. Have a Blessed Sunday. From my Grieving Heart to yours I Love each and every one of you.
”To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.“
Isaiah 61:3 NLT
”He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.“

God, I am so grateful that I get to be a part of Your great story. Thank You for having a plan and a purpose for my life. Help me not to step back in fear, but to be able to step out in faith and do what You’ve called me to do. Remind me each day that I am enough for You, and that You are enough for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
God, thank You for your unconditional love. It surpasses any form of earthly love. I am not my past or my failures- I am Your child! Nothing can separate me from Your love. Praise be Your holy name. Amen.
God, thank You for loving me. You see me as I truly am, and You still accept me! Today, I bring all my false labels and names to You. You know what I’ve been called, and what I’ve believed about myself. Please replace any false narratives with Your truth: that I am Your child, and greatly loved by You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
God, thank You for choosing me. I am Your special creation. I have been called from darkness to light. I am alive for a divine purpose. My heart is full of gratitude for this incredible gift! Guide my steps as I live for You—a chosen child of the King. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
God, this world is not my home. Help me to be present in my interactions with others, while still yearning for heaven. Show me how to balance the temporal and eternal. I trust that Your kingdom is coming soon. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
God, thank You for caring for the needs of Your people. You give me everything I need—everything I have is Yours. So please use me and what I have to fulfill the needs of others. Even when it feels hard to be generous, please help me to be willing to give everything You’ve given me for the good of others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
