I have taken a little bit of a break from blogging for several weeks, because I have been incredibly busy and I am just not as young as I used to be.  A year ago, I set out on an incredible journey by stepping out of my comfort zone and into the unknown.  There is still much that I do not know, but I have to say that I have learned much during this past year.

I am looking forward to this next year and I am very thankful for all of the family, friends, encouragers and supporters that I have met along the way.  I hope to resume my normal blogging schedule next week and would like to say thank you to all of you that have missed me and took the time to let me know it.

I love my extended family and am excited about some of the things that I am going to get to share with you over the next several weeks.  May each of you continue to enjoy the journey that our Maker has you on and may you always live blessed!

Have you ever stopped to think about “forever” and what it really means?  Forever has no beginning or end, it has just always been and will always be.  You cannot see it, smell it, taste it, hear it our touch it, but you know that it exist and that you are a part of it.

All that has ever been, all that is, all that ever will be is the result of the unfolding of forever.  We cannot understand forever in the physical, because the physical is limited by time and space.

To grow from some understanding of forever, we must learn to yield to our Spirit, so that we can see without eyes and hear without ears.  The Spirit is life and it is important to learn the difference between living and existing.

Learning to step out of the flesh and into the Spirit is one of the most important faith steps in our unfolding journey.  In order to take this step, we must abandon our ego, which continually attempts to anchor us to the things of the flesh with possessions and achievements.

I am so much more than the man staring back at me from the mirror.  I do not need more information, I need inspiration.  Inspiration that flows from the Spirit to me and through me. Life in the Spirit allows me to go to places that most people never go, because most or too lazy to step out of the flesh.  This laziness causes us to miss the real joy of the moment, because we have never learned the value of forever.

Think about forever and as you travel inward, let go of the flesh and yield to the Spirit,  Now – pay attention, because there are amazing things to learn on this journey.  As you actually begin to see and hear spiritually, the unfolding of forever, you will begin to live in a new space, a space where time and place do not matter so much.

You will find yourself coming into alignment with your created purpose, which will bring balance to your life and living, which will begin to restore to your life the amazing gifts of love, joy and peace.

Enjoy the journey and live blessed!

The promise of God in Ephesians 1 is that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the Heavenly Realms.  The child of God should never be desperate, hungry or anxious, because God in His infinite love has supplied all of our needs.  When anxiousness marries hopelessness, they give birth to a spirit of desperation, which causes us to resign ourselves to whatever, whenever, limited and defeated living.

As God’s children, when we live without hope, it is because we have made the choice not to appropriate what God in His amazing grace has given us.  We often spend our energy, asking God to give us something that He has already provided.  We need to stop asking God to do something for us that He has already done and start claiming what God has already done for us.

If you are hungry for the things of God, it could be because you have not taken the time to sit down at the banquet table that He has provided and taken nourishment from what He has given.  Jesus said in John 6:35 – “I am the bread of life;  He that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”

You are already blessed – receive it, be nourished by it and let the awesome stuff of God flow to and through you!
