Don’t wait!  My older sister once said, “Every day is a brand new day.  Each day, you can start all over again!”

What is the desire of your heart?  Don’t wallow in your sadness.  Yes, it is good to grieve for a time, when you are experiencing a loss.  Cry, write letters (you don’t have to mail them), journal, find safe ways to deal with your anger.  (Yes, anger is a normal stage in the grief process.  But, it is best to deal with it in healthy ways…ways that do not endanger yourself or anyone else.)  YOU ARE PRECIOUS IN THE EYES OF GOD!  (See Isaiah 43:4) Yes, sometimes the loss is overwhelming and will completely devastate or change your life.  Yes, sometimes it will hurt for a lifetime, but must you give up YOUR LIFE?

YOU CAN LIVE AGAIN, AFTER LOSS.

When dreams are shattered, it is devastatingly painful.  NO words can express the pain of heart.  But do you know what?  Time does heal some thing.  It also teaches you wisdom.  When you accept that the dream is gone – and YOU CAN STILL LIVE – life becomes richer.

YOU ARE ALIVE – AND LIFE IS STILL GOOD -

OR CAN BE GOOD, IF WE LET IT UNFOLD, WITH GOD!

GROW!

Get up off of your tush and do something positive,

for yourself – or someone else!
