Step Out into the Deep

I know that it is hard but we can't be complacent with our lives.It's time to move to the next level and I know that personally at this moment that I have a problem with this. I complain and make excuses and blame others for my mistake. It makes me upset that I keep getting mad and it is because I want to hear God myself. Apparently, I am told that I will never hear him and that he will speak to me through other people that he uses. I mean I don't feel that it is fair. I felt good and still now I feel good because no one can take the joy that I have from me. No man can take it away because they didn't give it to me. I mean I may be unhappy presently but I am still praising God because I know that it is for my own good. Everything in my life seems so stagnant and why it is because I haven't step out into the deep when I know that I was told to do this a couple of weeks ago and now I am being tested on it. I know that it is hard to step out of our comfort zones, but if we do it's only for the experience. If we fail, get up and try something else, if we succeed then it's like why didn't I do this in the first place? Everything will become better. Sometimes we don't want to step out because we don't know where we're going and it's like we have no control, but God is in control. He knows all and he sees all. It will be painful to do because people will be upset with you, but who cares what people think or say? They don't have a heaven or hell to put you in. You need to rely on the one who holds everything and who holds the promises. He has a plan for you, even if you don't know Him. Do you know that he sent Jesus Christ for you just so that we may live and that abundantly? He loves us so much and think of us. Everything that you are carrying, you don't have to carry any longer because God's got it. So, step into the deep and you will be glad that you did.  You will see that the stagnant is no longer stagnant and that everything will turn around in your favor. It is going to work but you must comply with what the Lord is saying.

The Change Starts in Us

We as a people just don't know how much we can contribute to the environment that surrounds us.  We can make our environment and the people that are around us do things to us that are negative just by our attitude or vice versa. Even if we have those people that are the ones who are still being negative we have to illuminate that kindness towards them. We must show them that you will not make me like you but that I can make you feel some way by how I react to you. We must be kind because kindness can go a long way. It can change someone's mood. Even if the person is not what you're used to, you must show kindness. If the world was more kind then it would be so much better. Just imagine if the world was kind and that's because one person took the initiative to start being kindness and it became contagious. I've been observant of how people treat others and each other lately. Even when it comes to myself I am mindful of it. I mean we're not perfect so we will make mistakes and there are some days that seem to sour for us. But it won't last forever we must think of change after being about change and we must be willing to change or it won't work. I know that if I ask God for something or do something I must meet him halfway so that he can finish the rest. It is another aspect of teamwork and kindness when it comes to a team it fierce. Even being unified and honest and all of these other aspects that go along with change. A lot of people I know are afraid of change and I have been afraid of change too.When I decided to change my hair to its natural state , it was hard and I was afraid of how I would look and what people thought of me. Oh man that was the main thing and now I love my hair and I don't regret what I did to get there and I'm still going through the journey and the process.So, once you have changed don't think that it stops there because that was only the beginning. It is all a process and a journey and life itself is both of these. So remember, if you want change you have to make sure it happens and go forth even in being afraid because you never know what you may be missing if you don't step out in the deep.
