"The Courage in Simplifying Life..."

Your Words (written or verbal) Are An Integral Part of Who You Are...

Whether you like it or not the words you've uttered or written  are adequately perpetuated by your personal emotions- what your stance on a particular subject. Why do you think many journalists or network anchors are getting booted unabashedly and left daunted-- much to their surprise? 
Well for me, inklings are not invisible. You know, in your gut --change is coming. What would you do?   
For one, you could make an impact through the dominance of honest, remarkable use of communication. Still be grateful and don't forget the power of negotiation. If you know your worth in the magnanimity of connecting with your words even if they'll denounce your gift, rest assured, you'll get picked up to a higher ground. Simplify your dream by believing there's a better and greater revelation to your God's given prowess--let that spirit of faith dwells in you.

I still vividly remember when my youngest son was in 3rd grade and all the way to 9th grade. Even with my teaching experience in all school settings with different age groups and cultural/educational/economic backgrounds and all the exclusive readings and research and continuing education in Graduate School, these avenues did not prepare me how to alleviate the souring grades and the root of my son's learning disconnection. I went to every parent conference and every teacher I had talked to and had written emails for collaboration's sake didn't work as much as I wanted it propelled.

Only then when I cried out to God to show me where I was failing considerably. As a single parent, I wanted to overperform may be because I wanted to compensate the role of a father, too. There was so much misplaced guilt in me; self-condemnation in layers arose as a result of my divorce which I know now it was bound to happen for so many legitimate reasons. (Unequally- yoked in faith should had not been resulted in marriage). In a way, I thought God has punished me for disobedience because I knew that for a fact what the Bible says about unequally yoked.

 I learned that lesson, the toughest way-- for my own well being.

2 Corinthians 6:14 KJV says: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

So God showed me how to learn to listen spiritually, more mindful of what's really causing my son failing almost all his core subjects. Somehow, his inherent love for music esp. learning to play percussion instruments had leavened the learning difficulty. In short, God has the final authority of all my plans. That's more than simplifying life. It's more of gaining clarity-- that is to keep your faith in Christ'Jesus and not to idolatry and obsession on what's going to evaporate, diminish, and pass you by in your heart & in your mind.

Every day reminds me that it is an opportunity to bring myself  to walk closer to my Savior's will for my life. My prayer life is no longer an adjunct to my flesh desires but to what it is to be a believer of 1Corinthians 13:6-7 KJV
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things...

Your prayer life does reflect a lot of you; what your sentiments and petitions towards God. You can be courageous to simplify them today--Be intrepid, fearless and be convicted to His desires for your life.
May be wondering what does my son do now. He is now serving in the Air Force, stewarding his musical talent while serving his duty with God's favor. I may adhere you to be careful with what you're going to do with spoken and written words. Always consult what does God say about that?

So far, I don't really have initial regrets for what I had spoken or had written to someone or others. My choice of words will always validate what's in my soul. Take that from me. 

All is well...
