You make

me see that there is more out there for me and not just in this moment or day.

But in my life and as long as I try and put the work out there, there really isn’t anything that can hold me back.

Seeing you shine made me realize there really isn’t a better time then now to jump and hope my wings will carry through it all.

My voice is powerful if I would just use it because at the end of the day I want to be able to handle everything that comes my way.

I appreciate that you appreciate all that I do but now it’s time for me to do more for me than you.

I’m in

my moment because of you and I don’t know what the plan I feel that is coming is.

But, I’m ready to give it all up and move forward for the life that feels like floating on air.

The life that feels like a nice breeze blowing through you air, the sun shinning down on you as you lean your head back.

The feeling when you’re so hot that when the first rain drop hits your forehead you just sigh with relief that the heat wave is over in this moment as you let the rain pour down on you.

The moment when the cold morning air is welcoming as you wake up as you walk out the door and welcome the winter in hopes spring will come soon.

You realize that the moment that you will overcome the struggle is near and you can feel it as you make big changes in your life.

You know that you are fully embracing all that you are and there is not  a moment you want to forget of deny.

You are in your moment and the feeling is so amazing that words really can’t describe how good you feel as you are filled with so much love and confident that you could ever want or need.

For this is your moment and no one can take that a way from you and your mind will replay it over and over until you do better next time.

Daily Prompt: Climbing

I’m climbing to the top and every now and then

I stumble and fall a couple of steps.

But, instead of giving up I keep going

and sometimes it feels like someone else is carrying me through it all.

Today I feel like I’ve finally reached the top and there you are with a helping hand

to pull me up to my final destination.

The hands and feet that kept me from getting this far is gone and I am so alive right now

that I can’t hold a grudge against them or be mad at all.

All I can do is smile and laugh and cry happy tears at this moment that feels so unreal right now.

So much I have gone through and at times I have let the negativity get to me and drag me down so far.

I thought and felt there was no coming back from this but, some how and some way I made it to the top.

So would think I just had a good day and my luck was up.

But, I know the truth for the hand that reached out to me that day was my lord and the hands and feet that grabbed and kicked at me was my enemies.

They couldn’t see what I saw waiting for me at the top so they did all they could to tear me down.

Yet, I climbed on with more determined than I could build up myself.

For I had to get to the top and I couldn’t just sit down here and wish one day I had the guts to do it.

I had to act now and climb with all my might and not look down or back for one foot and hand at time.

Would get me to where I’m meant to be and I can say now and later that the climb was so worth it.

Daily Prompt: Hopeful

I want to be hopeful that as today ends that great things will be coming my way this new year.

And that everything I need will be presented to me and I will live my life the way God wants me to.

That  I will continue to see the greatest inside of me and to trust my gut when things seem off.

That I will continue to make the right decisions and not let worldly things distract me from my true purpose in life.

I’m so hopeful that everything will be ten times more great than they already are.

Nothing but positivity flowing through me that I could just burst with happiness and light the sky with fireworks.

Hopeful that all dreams will come true  and more people will be believe that they can do the impossible if they just believe just a tiny bit.

Being alive is a hopeful moment every morning when you wake up and realize you  have another chance to make things right with your life.

That yesterday wasn’t the end and your problems won’t as big as you thought they were,

being hopeful gives me so much joy that I hope that I will be hopeful for the rest of my life.
