Keep Going-It's just a season of your life!

Deepassionate1 Speaks

How do you stop your insides from churning
When your mind and heart keeps you yearning for more
Just give me more Jesus
"Jesus, I give everything and everyone to you
I give everything and everyone to you Lord"
I can't keep getting hemmed up by these seasons of my life
Trying my best to be Better Over Bitter in the midst of this strife
Trying my best to live right, holding on to my peace when the woman inside of me wants to fight
Dear Abba will I ever get it right?
Please hear my cry today and give me some insight
Into the "SEASONS OF MY LIFE!"
-Deepassionate1

To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

What's the reason for the seasons?

The seasons of our lives are filled with people, places, events, opportunities and challenges that we need to navigate through in order to fulfill our God-ordained purpose on earth. In these seasons, our faith and perseverance for living life can grow stronger or weaker based on our ability to let go of our timelines. Unlike the seasons of winter, spring, summer & fall that have a scripted timeframe, our life seasons doesn't follow that rhythm or schedule. In fact sometimes we have to endure many winter seasons before experiencing the revitalization of spring or summer in our lives. Knowing that God's timing never reflects our own can be frustrating, but there is hope.

How do you navigate the seasons of your life?
You need a roadmap (For me that's my Writer's Notebook for you it can be a journal or diary). You need a place where you can document the happenings of your season. What's happening? Who is entering and leaving your life?
Are things flowing or are you at a roadblock?
After releasing on the page you can take the time that is necessary to reflect on your process. How are you feeling? How are you handling this season of your life? Who or what are your support systems? What lessons are you learning and how can you apply those lessons to your next season?

After processing through your process, take time to reconvene with God. He will help you create a strategic plan to help you focus and execute your purpose during the current season of your life.

So how do you know what season of your life you're in?

Watch for the signs...

Fall Season- Some things and people are falling away from your life. Ask yourself - What is God calling me to let go of?

Winter Season- Nothing seems to be growing or blooming. Take this time to rest and rejuvenate. Spend time with God and let him administer to you while revealing your next steps.

Spring Season- This is your doing season, take those winter seeds and plant them like your dream depends on it.

Summer Season- Take breaks so you don't overheat and enjoy your harvest season.

Questions of the day

What season of life are you in? How are you navigating through the season? What lessons are you learning?

Bring on the Pain & Watch me turn it into Passion.

Deepassionate1 Speaks

My life is complex
God’s plan is perfect.

There are days when I wish I can have the passion without the pain
There are days when I get up and I want to go back to sleep again
But my demons don’t taunt me when I am greeted by the light
I don’t wear too much makeup, just a touch of eyeshadow to keep
My eyelids bright
Especially when the thunderstorms come pouring down at night
Pick up that pen and write
Why waste my energy and time to fight
So tired, but I am still searching for his insight
My truth
I realized that the stage is a sacred space
Built for the children of God to receive and share his grace
It’s not just a place to pick up the mic
Spit some fire, but leave no insight
Memorize a poem
Pull up and recite
Talk about changing the world, but still not living right
My truth
Sometimes I want to grab my pen and plunge in deep
Set my words on fire and listen to my heart speak
About the things that make Deepassionate1 weak
Like how I struggle with depression and learning how to let go
Of the things and the people who take my high and bring me low
About how I worry about the future and get stuck in the past
Talk about how many times I cried myself to sleep
While praying that the pain won’t last
My truth
I am still searching for the missing parts of me
And when I recover all the parts of myself I will be totally free
Free from the pain, free from my past
Free to be me, free at last.

Questions of the day

What comes to your heart and your mind when you think about pain in your life? Make a list.
What do you do when you are dealing with life's bitterness and strife?
How do you turn your pain into passion and give your passion a purpose?
Identify someone in your life who is supporting your right now and share what makes that person a great support system.

Inspire Yourself & Live!!!

You are still alive. Now act like it!

Deepassionate1 Speaks

What do you do when you feel like you can't make it through?

I take out my pen
Tap in
And let my emotions flow
Following the trail of my words
While learning how to let go

I find some rest on the pages in my WNB
Singing out loud...
"What God has for me is for me!"

I put on some music and dance into the night
I remind myself that this battle isn't mine to fight

I pray and I ask God to take the pain away
while giving thanks for each day
that I am given an opportunity to get up and slay!

Questions of the day

How do you handle hard days?
What do you do to persevere through?
