Who Will Rescue Us?

By -

Humanity is experiencing a constant stream of loss during this pandemic. The toll on human life as well as the loss of control over our emotions during COVID19, is a reality. 

There are many ways in which we could be grieving in 2020:

  • Loss of normal routines
  • Loss of feeling a hug
  • Loss of being around others
  • Loss of not being in the hospital with a sick family member
  • Lost of not meeting a new grand baby
  • Loss of not being able to travel internationally
  • Loss of control
  • Loss of a loved one
  • Loss of employment
  • Loss of attending a concert
We can start to feel buried by all the loss and pain. As the days of the pandemic continue, we can feel blue vs feeling full of life. If we are honest, life can feel like too much effort to live. 

WHO will rescue us from all this pain?

WHO will rescue us from these losses?

WHO can restore what has been taken away?

Focusing only on the situations happening around us can give us a false sense of defeat. We are definitely navigating some troubled times but we are NOT defeated. The enemy would want us to throw up the white flag of surrender. I PLEAD with you to NOT give up. KEEP living.

Having faith doesn't mean the absence of trouble. It means that troubled times won't have control over us. God is waiting and willing to RESCUE us from the anxiety, fear, depression, discomfort and torment that is so prevalent in 2020.

The road ahead will continue to be uncertain. The commotion and chaos will continue. The political and social unrest will rage on. We can count on GOD to rescue us from the weight of the loss. 

Even when we are crushed with grief, God is near.

Is anyone crying for help? God is listening, ready to rescue you. If your heart is broken, you'll find GOD right there; if you are kicked in the gut, he will help you catch your breath. 

~Psalm 34:17-18 MSG

My Top 5 Tips To Stay Fit Without a Gym!

It's Fun Friday and I'm sharing some great workout tips.  Fortunately I've never struggled with working out (it's the good eating that always throws me for a loop).  I've always enjoyed going to the gym. So you can imagine when I moved to my rural community I was stressed with the fact that there wasn't a gym nearby.  Needless to say, I had to get creative on staying fit.  My business travel schedule, community and church obligations didn't make finding time to work out any easier.  I realized that my creative juices would have to flow on a alternative way to stay fit.  Here are some of my fun, no gym needed workouts: Walk/run intervals through the neighborhood Cardiovascular exercise is the foundation of most of my work- outs.  The light posts in my neighborhood provide a great way to walk & run in equal distance from the back to the front of the subdivision.  I will normally walk, jog, or sprint in intervals between each light post.

Take A Lesson From Ants

By -

I walked into my house and a portion of my floor was covered with little, black ants.  I instantly knew the kids had dropped some sticky substance on the tile floor. That mess attracted what looked like an entire nest of these little, pesky insects.  They were all moving around in unison enjoying what was probably going to be their lunch or dinner. Ironically on Sunday, a dear friend gave me a wonderful scripture about the lesson we can learn from ants.  Really, I thought, how can I possibly learn anything from something that annoys me so much.  I guess you know where I'm going with this.  There is a lesson to learn from ants about efficiency and productivity.   The ants didn't waste any time moving into action to retrieve whatever mess my boys left on the floor.  Not only that, they called all of their "ant" friends to help them in this insurmountable task. Are you a slacker?  Do you like to procrastinate?  Do you constantly have the attitude, "I'll ju

I Am Raising America's Most Hated...

BEWARE:  This is not your normal blog post It is not easy raising children.  But raising one of our country's most hated members of society brings more complication into the equation.  Let me clarify for you...raising a black male in America IS scary.  The world easily looks at color on a male as a deterrent to any intellectual ability.  Most men of color are viewed with the ability to only perform one thing - entertainment.  It could be a stand up comedian, singer, runner, actor, football or basketball player. Black males, unfortunately, only see the world through limited lenses.  Other races, ethnicities and gender can view the world with a vast amount of opportunities, but not if you are a black male.  You walk into a room or a packed elevator and people grab their handbags.  You walk next to their car and they lock their doors.  It's the overwhelming amount of negative images that have plagued and are fed into mainstream homes via our tv, social media and newspapers.
