Ready To Soar

God didn't lead the Israelites the shortest route to the promised land. He led them the longer way on purpose, because they were not ready for war. Their enemies were stronger, bigger, and more experienced than they were. They would have been defeated easily. He used the uncomfortable time in the wilderness to toughen up the Israelites and prepare them for their destiny. We cannot pray away every uncomfortable situation. God is more interested in changing us than he is in changing our circumstances. He loves us too much to leave us where we are. God uses the tough times to get us prepared for the next level. Our tough times are not happening TO us, but FOR us...they are refining us, growing us up, and preparing us to soar. Embrace where you are...(don't settle for mediocrity) but, enjoy your life while you trust God to direct your steps, and prepare you for your future. You know that you are truly trusting God when you have peace, and are at rest while you are waiting. Trust him. Trust his plan. Don't worry while you're waiting. Do what you can, and trust God to do the rest. Some things you can only learn in the struggle. Your destiny is bigger than you think!! Keep passing the tests!! Stay in faith, even when It's difficult...know that God is in control, directing your steps, and keeping you on on the best plan for your life! ‪#‎goditrustyou‬ ‪#‎tellyouwhatiknow‬ ‪#‎happygirljj‬‪#‎whenyouareatrestyouarepassingthetest‬ ‪#‎bestillandknowthatheisgod‬‪#‎godsplanissomuchbiggerthanmine‬ ‪#‎ishallnotbemoved‬ ‪#‎noworries‬‪#‎goditsallinyourhands‬ ‪#‎dontfighttheprocess‬ ‪#‎stayinfaith‬‪#‎closeddoorsareablessing‬

JJ's YEAR OF DESTINY DAY 5- Divorce is of the Devil...

"You don't know how "one" you've really become- until you're ripped apart.  Divorce is of the devil... I wish it on no one...ever."  -jj thames. Not in the mood to face the world today. so I won't. my bed is my solace... listening to my new record, tightening up arrangements, listening for more possibilities- soothes my angst. this divorce stuff irks my soul... one or two days- I barely think about it. next day...I feel like I've been hit by a bullet train at maximum speed- and just want to lay in my darkened bedroom and look at the ceiling. No tmusic, no TV...just me...my bed...and the ceiling. Sleep usually eventually welcomes me. But, then there's the dreams- and waking again to the pain. I feel like a part of me has died. It's a strange kind of pain... its a numbing abiding pain...like an irritating itch deep in your soul that you really have no kind of way to scratch. You just have to talk about it, and su...

Jj's Year of Coming Of Age: Day 152- Spillin' the Tea -Part 3- Chronicles of the Sidechick Wife...Not a Typo.

livid, adj . [Screw] you for cheating on me. [Screw] you for reducing it to the word cheating. As if this were a card game, and you sneaked a look at my hand. Who came up with the term cheating , anyway? A cheater, I imagine. Someone who thought liar was too harsh. Someone who thought devastator was too emotional. The same person who thought, oops, he's gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar . [Screw] you. This isn't about slipping yourself an extra twenty dollars of Monopoly money. These are our lives. You went and broke our lives. You are so much worse than a cheater. You killed something. And you killed it when its back was turned" -David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary I'm gonna get back to my Asperger's list tomorrow...but, I had something really interesting happen today...and I want to talk to ya'll about it... I've got a question for you... "Would you stay with your man if he cheated on you, and a baby was conce...

"You and I  have defied and defined time  to realign right here where we stand look in my eyes, there's someone waiting there someone you loved oh so very well.  through ages and eons  from creation to revelation  I've loved you over and over and over and over again  from plantations through elevation  royal thrones and abdications  our souls search and find  repair the breach and mend. you are my all in all  I'll always find you no matter how far we are  you are my all in all I'll always find my way back to you, my love  no matter how far we are all in all"  -jj thames so...this thing called "adulting"... I'on like it...i'on like it, not one bit. I feel like being in your 30's is like being a teenager all over again, like its the adolescent years of adulthood, except with responsibilities hanging over your head... you have the breaking up or distancing of friendships.
