I keep wondering how many times I have to get up and start again? I seem to be falling more than I am standing strong. I am not stressing, because there is a difference between falling and laying down.
Proverbs 24:16 NIV [16] for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes. https://bible.com/bible/111/pro.24.16.NIV
Is it strength or just being stubborn? Is it worth trying? It’s new, why not go to school, and do this? Didn’t you try something last month? How many books did you sell? Are you sure you want to _
James 1:6 NIV [6] But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. https://bible.com/bible/111/jas.1.6.NIV
Matthew 14:31 NIV [31] Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. âYou of little faith,â he said, âwhy did you doubt?â https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.14.31.NIV
I am beyond tired of listening to people’s doubts and trying to make them understand I am more than what they see. I don’t have to answer them or anyone. I know who I am and who is really on my side.
There are times when I want to talk to someone, willing someone to believe in me, but I realize not everyone can or will be there for you. It may look like I am standing alone, but I know who is really on my side.

I keep saying I am going to do better, but at the same time, I do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings. I know if I donât talk things out and hold back my feelings, I will be the one who is hurt.
1 Peter 4:8 NIV [8] Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. https://bible.com/bible/111/1pe.4.8.NIV
John 14:27 NIV [27] Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Â Â Â Â https://bible.com/bible/111/jhn.14.27.NIV
There was a time when I would just let things go, but now I would like to work through my feelings and understand my thoughts. If there was a disagreement with someone, I would try to work it out, but there are times when we just have to let things go.
I am studying the bible. I have the Bible app on my phone (it’s free) and I ask a question on how I am feeling. My bible is way too big to carry around with me. I am grateful for this app.
My mind had wondered from my first thought and now I can only think about crocheting. I started a pink & grey blanket, but now I am looking at a bright yellow skein of yarn. Ugh, I wish I had seen the yellow yarn first oh well I am not going to frog this project.
I am good at talking on paper or in a text, but I would rather talk face to face, so one day I will think about everything I want to say, and let whatever happens happen. Good or bad walking in the truth is better than walking in a lie..
Matthew 7:8 NIV [8] For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.7.8.NIV

I couldnât figure out what was missing in my bathroom. I started cleaning as I do every Saturday, no big deal, but after I was done it was still a mystery. Then as I was looking at my empty glass butterfly candle holder. There was a time when there were purple tea lights in it, but that look didnât agree with me.
I was going through some pictures and came across a birthday party. A smile was pleasantly plastered on my face. How Could I not smile when it was my sonâs birthday party?
I was sure I still held onto the toppings from that cake. He may not remember that day, but I remember it every time I see these toy cake toppers. I replaced the candles with Pooh Bear and Friends.
Now my bathroom looks like my bathroom again. Well, except for the missing frog. I have no idea where that went. If I find another one of my sonâs lost toys I just add it to my collection.
It doesnât matter if it’s a forgotten thought, something from your past or from someone else. If it makes you happy enough to smile, then it is well worth placing it out to be seen everyday if you can.

Life is so hard and it’s only going to get harder as you grow older. I am over 50 and I wish someone had stressed on the point to âWork smarter and Not enjoy your youth,â because I should have been saving instead of spending.
Then again I should have followed my dreams and worked harder to set them free. I put aside what I wanted, to go for the quick cash, and thirty plus years later I am paying for it.
There comes a time when we stop and look back and see all of our mistakes and wish we could go back and fix them. Today we see the young doing the same things and we try to tell them to change their steps. I get, âYou sound just like my grandmother.â I say, âthank you,â because we donât want you to make the same mistakes we did. We want you to be better.
I am Smiling for the next chapter in my life. It may have taken me longer than it should have, but I am stepping out in my best chapter. I will not be bugging you to better your life, you will realize my wordsworth later, but as for me?
I AM MOVING FORWARD and LEAVING MY PAST in the PASTâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ
