Today My Mission Is To Breathe

Bloganuary writing prompt
What is your mission?

Sometimes in life we lose focus of what matters most, breathing. Breathing is the major part of life! And as we’re on our journey there are moments when something knocks the wind out of us. The act causes us to become unstable on our feet! It’s those moments when we need to bend forward, put our hands on our waist, clear our heads, stand up straight and breathe. For at this point we’re breathing to live! So! Let us take deep and intentional breaths. Filling our lungs to their capacity before we exhale. For when we exhale our eyes are opened to endless possibilities that allow our souls to remind us we are alive and we should live with purpose! Have a great weekend living your best life! ~Annette

Dance In The Rain

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.

Shree Shambav

My life starts daily, it’s a miracle expected and much appreciated when it happens. Yet, I never expect to learn an essential mindset, dancing in the rain. My wounded soul with broken wings sits on the sideline of life and admires others that have. And even though my adoration sparks something within, I’ve noticed a pattern and practice that I’ve nurtured, starting something good and never continuing and or completing it because of something bad that happens. Honestly, as I write this post, I’m in the midst of something horribly bad now. And, I’ve stopped being a good wife/mother/business owner/blogger. I have put everyone/everything on shelves as I wait for this storm to pass. The storm isn’t going anywhere! As a matter of fact, it’s picked up momentum! How can that be possible! Especially when I’ve been transparent and aboveboard. So, it appears as I write this paragraph I’m at another life changing crossroad. Let’s pray!

PRAYER

Father God, life storms are robbing me and others of living abundantly in Christ!  Bad days come to everyone!  And as I write this prayer there are people that feel like me.  We are too tired from worrying, therefore, we can’t dance in the rain.  Take our burdens whether we give them to you or not.  Speak your peace to our hearts.  Comfort our minds with assurance you are going to handle and solve the problems; because Deuteronomy 20:4 clearly states, “for the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.” So! For those that trust in you, having full knowledge of your presence, your power and your love let us dance in the rain giving you all the praise and the glory for victorious outcomes.  Amen
