Emotions can be a liability..... or used for empowerment. The circumstances of the day sometimes direct which dictates; however, getting out of the circumstantial perspective and broadening my vision to the bigger picture is key to staying free..........

Circumstances are powerful; Emotional responses controlling. I feel a shift happening in my life where the only One I want to be "broken" by is my God. I don't want to give that emotional empowerment to any other person.
That is not because I am interested in building walls, but because I have worked hard to tear them down........

Every time I allow my circumstances to dictate my emotions, i lay another block in that wall. Before I know it, a "Jericho" is built to keep me inside, and others out. I will not live that life, and you do not have to either. "Live free or die."

So many things are happening in our lives that require "patient endurance" as I'm sure many of you can relate to from what I'm hearing. Thank you for sharing.
Being tested is meant to make me stronger unless I break down in the process; even that is okay, if brokenness leads to breakthrough. When it doesn't, boundaries need to go up.

I recently reflected on the coming months, the planning of events and engagements on the horizon, and it is pretty insane. I am going to need to lean on others close to help get me through smile emoticon
Engagement, Graduation, Wedding Plans, not to mention Real Estate Events, and Personal Life goals are all on the horizon for 2016. Keeping up with the kids is getting to be a full time job, let alone my personal life smile emoticon

These are all signs of life and that life does go on........ if I want it to........

And I do. ‪#‎2016isexploding‬
