Are you stressed out more often than not, unable to find peace? Well, you can now be comforted with the fact that peace is attainable and maintainable when you follow the simple strategy outlined in Philippians 4: 4-9, 12-13, 19. Praise God Praise God no matter what is going on in your life. He is worthy of all praise and will inhabit the praises of His people. When you send up praises, He will send down blessings. Reflect the image of your Creator as you glorify His name. 4 “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.”
One Billion Rising is a V-Day worldwide campaign to end violence against women. I rose because I was raped and now had the inner strength, opportunity and collective support to end the silence and share my story. V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls because 1 in every 3 women on the planet will be raped or beaten during their lifetime. I rose because I am 1 of the 3 women to experience this violence. I rose because it helped me and others continue the healing process. I rose with 200 countries signed up to participate along with world leaders, celebrities, organizations and activists ready to Strike, Dance, and Rise because it was time to say, “Enough! The violence must end.”
NOTE: The “V” in V-Day means Victory, Valentine and Vagina. I am striving to live a sinless life,
sinning less with each new day. With an open heart through my tests and trials, “Lord, help me learn the lessons quickly,” is what I pray. During a recurring respiratory illness that had flared up every few years, God shed fresh light on some behavioral patterns that was critical for me to perceive and hear. Psalm 91 describes the benefits of living in the secret place of God. It is a place of refuge where we can experience unconditional love, supernatural protection, security, deliverance, grace and power. The following inspirational poem is my creative expression of Psalm 91: GOD’S PROTECTION We, who dwell in the secret place of El Elyon (the God Most High), Shall abide in protection and security beneath the shadow of God Almighty (El Shaddai). The Lord is our refuge and our fortress, our God in whom we can confidently trust. He will deliver us from entrapment and disease; He will shelter us from dangers and things unjust. This healing thing is a process that takes place over a period of time; I’ve learned that in order to heal the body the journey must first begin in the mind. I was not usually eager to step into the path that was necessary. Before facing my emotional baggage, I entered my own garden of Gethsemane. Issues stemming from my childhood enveloped me in deep-rooted, binding fear. Due to prior medical traumas experienced, I used to deny illness and run scared. H – Having faith and helping others to endure, believe, and pray. O – Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent; Optimistically, overcoming all obstacles everyday … in every season of every second, and every minute of every hour. P – Persevering, pressing toward the prize; Being fully present and possessing power. |
