Pondering a Path for 2013

And so here we are, at the Crossroads of Life, once again.  Looking back at 2012, looking ahead to 2013.  Which way should we choose? It seems that no matter which path we choose it will still be laid upon the foundation of uncertainty, unknowing, and unrealistic dreams. Yet, if they were that realistic, would they really be dreams?

With every passing day we want things that are intangible, untouchable, and impossible to face, yet we strive forward in the name of them in hopes of one day possessing their impenetrable power.  If I could just get this I could be....if I could just do this...I will be.  That hole that exists within us calls out to us during times like these demanding us to come up with the solution from within our own minds, our own heart, and our fallible ways. We are incapable of filling that hole. It is impossible for us to be happy by the ways in which WE choose. The reason being is because WE are empty souls, and from emptiness, emptiness flows.  But, if WE step away from the controls, from Light they flow, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. 

Do you want a life that will reach the depths of the impossible?  Dive deep into the Fathom of Fear that you have so desperately avoided. By facing all the things that you have pushed so secretly aside and using the power of faith to confront them, all those fears lose their power, and HOPE becomes your HERO! Nothing is more powerful than the unknown!  Trust in God gives our FAITH feet! Faith without works is dead! If you say you have Faith, then give your faith feet, TRUST that God will secure you, strengthen you, and see you through the smoke of your fears into the light of His love and purpose.  We all have a purpose, but it takes faith to get there!

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.   Wherein ye greatly rejoice , though now for a season, if need be , ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:   That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth , though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:  Whom having not seen , ye love ; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing , ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory :  Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 


Life doesn't give us the promise that if we do one thing we will be guaranteed its' proposed outcome.  If anything, life proves that nothing is certain and the probability of those things coming to fruition are almost impossible. Statistics reveal the probability of all things in life that we desire and most times they aren't things we want to acknowledge. What do we do then?  Do we stand still? Refuse to make a move?  Stand in one place as long as possible? Most people do live that way and never see progress. Every journey begins with a single step!  A STEP OF FAITH! During these dark days of uncertainty where the probability of success is grim, it is faith that gives our feet wings of things hoped for but not seen.  Our faith, is more precious than gold! Just like how gold has to be refined by fire to reach its purest level, so must we be refined by our faith in order to see the salvation that God has prepared for us through Jesus Christ. And not until the very end will we know if our faith has reached its purest form when the whole world will continue to crumble around us; death, famine, tragedy, loss, persecution, disease, dark, dark days. 

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 

Deception, worry, fear, lies, doubt, chaos; all of these things will continue to invade our thoughts as we approach the fulfillment of this age. Those thoughts can have the power to take siege of every member of our body, from our hands, our feet, and our very words that we speak.  Don't let the lies of this world prevent you from seeing the dreams, the purpose, the peace, love, and life that God has already prepared for you.  Defeat the fiery darts of those without love, shooting lies into you heart, attempting to poison your whole body from moving forward by taking up the Shield of Faith.  You have a purpose!! I HAVE A PURPOSE!!  March forward in allegiance to others of like mindedness knowing with arms linked, shields connected, feet planted, that we CAN, and WILL stand strong with ONE mind, ONE heart, ONE faith!!

TAKE UP YOUR SHIELD OF FAITH IN THE YEAR OF 2013!
Give your faith feet by FORGETTING about the fear of this world!
Don't FORGET you are NOT ALONE!
TAKE THAT FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
MAKE 2013 THE YEAR YOU LET GO and LET GOD!
