Personal Perspective

Walk by Faith …

If you make steps forward based on what you see with your eyes then it is going to be seen through the sunglasses you have chosen to wear. Imagine it this way – if someone has hurt you and you carry that hurt in your heart you have decided to put on blue sunglasses so  everything you look at is seen through blue eyes … that means when someone comes to you for advice you give advice based on looking thru hurt eyes, when someone treats you a certain way you look at that situation through hurt eyes. Now let’s say something makes you angry so you now have in your hands a pair of red sunglasses. You go to take off the blue sunglasses to put on the red but wait a minute, you are still holding onto the hurt so the blue sunglasses must remain. You then have to put the red sunglasses over the top of the blue. Next, let’s say something makes you jealous. You now layer a pair of green sunglasses on top of the blue and the red. The colors continue … you add yellow for not having the courage to do what you need to do, you have gray because all you look at are the gray skies around you – this continues until you have 7 pairs of sunglasses on your face. Two things happen as a result: 1) You look ridiculous. You would never consider wearing 7 pairs of sunglasses at the same time on your face but you think nothing of wearing them on your heart and 2) you will be in complete darkness (literally it’s all dark. God gave me this sunglass analogy for a seminar I did and I could not see past my face when all 7 pair were on).

So while you are working through the healing of the wounds within your heart … walk by faith and not be sight. It will give you what you need one step at a time until all of the sunglasses are removed and you can see clearly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIqLsGT2wbQ&feature=fvsr

With Many Blessings, MUCH Love to you!!! :)

Baby New Year

By: Ammie L. Peters, 12/31/10

The current year cries in labor pains of all it has endured.

No looking back to gain a day, or making regrets fewer.

One year ago we each gave birth to a new and precious child.

Did we cherish the gift and hold it tight or ignore it for awhile?

Did we abandon it as we clung to days of past that will
never come again?

Or did we embrace the gift of what we were given and let a
life begin?

Did we greet each day with love and care nurturing it to
grow?

Or did we throw the baby out with the bath water, as the
saying goes.

The labor pains of looking back may seem too strong with
which to deal,

But here we are one year later not believing it is real.

Time turns its back and slips through cracks not missing us
– not even for a minute,

But yet all we can do is sit and wish we only had more of it
so we can finish!

Finish what? I ask. The project list and things we think that
we must do?

Did you give birth to work and lists or did it just become a
part of you?

Welcome the gift of each new birth with a thankful heart and
smile upon your face,

Love, cherish and care for it never letting it out of your sweet
embrace.

You will then see the baby grow to bring you joy and peace making your heart content,

Because that’s the moment you understand the reason for
which it was sent.
