Live Liberated!

Be free...let yesterday go...joy comes to you...see the light at the end of the tunnel...be optimistic in your thinking...great things await...don't be afraid where the day takes you...wellcome all possibilities...a new opportunity lies around the corner...it's a new day...everything is different...live the liberated life today!

(pause the playlist...the last half of this really builds well with the music)



Today I will not be overcome by sorrow, because weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning.

Today the Bright and Morning Star shines on me-and through me. It's a new day and everything is different in my world than it was before.

I demonstrate that His mercies are new this morning by my determination to live the liberated life today.

You Have A Dream!

I have a dream...YOU have a dream!

What is it?

Dreams need "action" behind them to come true, so I would suggest writing it/them down.  Brings to mind the biblical phrase, "...write down the vision and make it plain."

Like "faith without works is dead", so dreams without action seem to be only fantasies.  I thank a blogger named Ebony for that thought.

“Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


No one can take your dream away from you, because they did not give it to you.
 
Be a good steward of your gift...your "uniqueness".  The dream that God puts in your heart is "bigger" than you, and there is something "bigger" than your 9 to 5!
 
Follow your dream to the point that it ultimately becomes one with you.
 
Remember that  you are God's "dream" come true and that we're all the product of something God said, something God dreamt- Jim Swilley

“Life ends when you stop dreaming, hope ends when you stop believing, love ends when you stop caring, friendship ends when you stop sharing... so share this with whom ever you consider a friend.”



I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
