You are significant!

-


I did not feel very inspired today. I woke up, came to work, and started doing my reports. I worked hard, but I did not feel inspired. I kept thinking about the weekend and the good time I had and the memories that were made. It made me smile. But then I thought about today. And although I felt good and was not in a bad mood, something was missing. I did not feel inspired. This bothered me.

But then it hit me. How could I not be inspired? How could I not feel inspired? I was alive. God has given me another day. Many did not open their eyes this morning when I did. I am blessed and so fortunate to see another day. I have been given another chance to do what makes me happy. I have been blessed with another chance to see loved ones. I should be inspired by Life. I should be inspired by the opportunity I have been given to Live.

There are clouds in the sky today, but I feel like I have sunshine in my pocket. This is all because I realized how fortunate I am. At times, all we need is a reminder. That is all. A reminder of how fortunate we are. A reminder that even those times when we feel there is no significant event taking place in our lives, our life is significant in itself. Our hearts still beat. Is that not amazing?

Put your hand on your chest and feel your heartbeat. Feel the rhythm of your heart. Dance to the beat of your heart.

Remember, when all else seems insignificant, you are significant.

Take care

Miss Stone

    Spent the better part of today reading your blog. Must say, going through each post reminded me of conversations shared, times that I had the privilege of peeking through your mind, it felt just like a conversation with you. I am truly proud of you!!!!!

What Susie says about Sally...

‘What Susie says about Sally, says a lot more about Susie than it says about Sally.’ I came across this and thought it would be a sin not to post this. I know I have written about this before but I thought I should say something about it again. How quick are we to judge others? It really takes nothing nowadays for someone to say something bad about someone else. It has become almost second nature to open our mouths and to spread a story about someone else. In most cases, it does not even concern us at all. We spend way too much time concerned with the lives of others when we should be focused on making our own lives better. And it is true, what you say about someone else really does say more about you than it does about them. If you make it a habit of spreading stories, lies, rumours, whatever it may be, soon, you will have a reputation. And no one will believe you when you bad mouth others, because they already know that you have a reputation of doing so. The bottom line is t...

The clouds will fade...

I love rainy days. Days like today. I love them. The air seems so much cleaner. I inhale it and I feel alive. I feel alive. Rain has a cleansing effect. It falls down to the Earth and wipes all the dirt away. It penetrates the ground and works its way through every soil granule and blade of grass it can find. It leaves its mark on everything it touches. It cleanses. And then, it makes way for growth. That is what rain does. It touches the Earth and makes flowers grow, it makes grass green, and it nourishes and feeds so that growth can take place. And after the rain has stopped, the dark clouds that once threatened are gone, and it leaves us with a beautiful rainbow and the sun that eventually makes its way through the clouds. After the rain, growth takes place and the sun does eventually shine again. And in our lives, it works basically the same way. The dark clouds arise in the form of our problem and obstacles, chasing the sun away. They chase our joy away. They hover in our s...

They Chose My Womb

I often wondered if it would ever happen for me… I often wondered if having life growing inside    me would be something I would experience too.  You know how those thoughts of doom and gloom enter your mind and try to convince you that it is merely something you will witness and never have the pleasure of experiencing first hand. And as the years rolled by, those thoughts grew and gained strength.  I had often obsessed over it. Pretended not to be bothered, but secretly obsessing over it. Until it consumed me.  When I lost my Father and my best friend, the obsession grew. Almost as though I were trying to replace these two lives I lost with another. But continuously, I was disappointed. And so the thoughts grew. The thoughts became stronger and more prominent.  I didn’t know how to wait on God’s timing anymore, and frankly, I didn’t know if I wanted to. I became selfish and trusted Him less, although I still prayed for some kind of miracle. Which sounds we...
