DAY 9 - It's not too late!

SONG OF THE DAY
"You Can Change" by Tye Tribbett & G.A. You may have heard this one before. It's a powerful song that is speaking to anyone and everyone, RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE! What ever you are doing in your life, and you're not pleased with...it's not too late to change it. I would advise- closing your eyes and just let the song minister to you as it has to me.

Good evening all!
Normally, how I write my entries on the blog are I write the title, then let the words flow out of my heart, then find a song that reflects what I am feeling or talking about. Well tonight, I was lead to do something different. I was driving and I put my ipod on random. I had only put gospel songs on my ipod in January, so I could stay connected to God. I didn't want to get distracted. I knew then that I was trying to hear from HIM. Honestly, since this month began, I did miss my hip hop LOL. So I put a couple of CLEAN albums on their.....I'm not always in the mood for gospel. LOL. But tonight, I am going to take them off again. Going to re-focus and allow the music to take me to where I need to go.
As I was driving and reflecting on the day's events, mondays blog entry and comments, I began to feel stronger. I began to take comfort int he fact that this blog is truly not about me! I am not going to go into a long soliloquy or anything. All I am saying is, we are all changing and this is just a tool in that change. I hope the Song Of The Day speaks to your spirit....evokes change, or evokes you to encourage someone to change. You see what it's done for me!

BUILD-BREAK-BUILD
-I was able to allow someone to sow into my life without feeling prideful today.

- I realized that I could do better in the "working out" category. Gotta get back on it.

- Although I started to go to the movies at 10:15, I decided against it because I had not yet submitted my blog entry. I didn't want to go home yet, I wanted to be out and about. Then I heard, you can still do it....but you are still accountable to the people who read the blog. So I came home........and I am so glad I was able to be obedient!!!!

TODAY'S MEDITATION
I meditated on family today. Mostly my blog family. I really appreciate you guys. FOR REAL. You guys have blessed me more than you know. It's time for another praise report.......
(adding that to my prayer list)

  1. Today has been an unusually difficult day of fighting back tears and confusion. Missing my Daddy for 7 weeks and 2 days has been a tremendous struggle... Pretending to be okay when people ask and smiling when my heart is really breaking.... I know this is a point from which I will change and grow and learn.

    I ask my blog family to please pray for peace and wholeness in my heart. Please remind me that I can make it and I can handle “THE CHANGE”.

    Thank you and I will continue to pray for all of you.

  2. KBrenai, I feel you my sister...Don't fight back the tear or the confusion, let it all out. That is the only way healing can start. God knows everything that you are going through. I will continue to pray for you. Remember one step at a time then one day at a time. You will get through this and you are not by yourself, we are all here for you.

    Subject: Daily Affirmation for February 10, 2009


    There was a song out several years ago that said, “God’s Got A Blessing With Your Name On It”. Isn’t it wonderful to know God has a blessing just for you? “You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock--the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out”. Thank You, Lord, for your mighty blessings! Be Blessed!!!

  4. KBrenai,

    I am definelatey praying your peace in the midst of all this, and that His still small voice is still heard louder than the clamor and weight of that pressure,

    Stay blessed fam!!

    To all,
    Corey mentioned a spirit of complacency the other day that offered me the chance to look at some things in my life in a new life. For instance in my home I can close my eyes and point to something that i know needs to get done, but have almost gotten use to it. Thanks for your openess which has made it easier for me to examine various details in my personal life.

  6. Hey Kbrenai. I want to thank you for being honest and transparent witht he blog family. I truly believe the best way to get healing is to put it out there. I am honored that you felt comfortable enough to share it with this group. As I read the comments, I felt the meaning and force and stregnth and zeal these people have for you....us....each other! It is truly inspiring to ME personally to be apart of your healing. Cause that is exactly what this is, your healing time. Amazingly enough, you have just added to your family members when you needed to the most.

    YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS!

  7. KBrenai, Psalm 30:5 says "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." While I have never experienced the loss of a parent, I have had to deal with the pain of loosing many loved ones. It's not an easy thing, and tears definitely help. Some days will be better than others, but one day you will look up and realize that your "morning" has come and that where there was sadness joy has taken its place. Always remember the good things about him and your relationship. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. May God's peace rest and abide with you, now and always.
