Welcome back to Renew Inspiration and Happy Mother’s Day! Today, I want to share some inspirational words with you. What is the message that you need on today? What is it that you need to focus on within your life, right now, in this very moment? Well, for me I have to say that I have been really focusing on “truth” lately. During our life long journey, it is important for us to listen to what people say and what people don’t say. Believe it or not, unspoken words are usually more important than hidden secrets or truths. If you really take a moment to open your spiritual ear, you realize that unspoken words often times speak the loudest.

SPEAK POSITIVE WORDS
Speak positive words into your very being – mind, body & spirit. – Unknown Author
Depression and grief may rise up within me, but I meditate on positive thoughts continuously to overcome this feeling. Quite frankly, sometimes this is not enough. Today is truly a difficult day for me because I have to feel the sadness and experience the overwhelming grief from my mother’s death in 2015. It’s like it was just yesterday. No one can prepare you for the emptiness inside after losing your mother or any loved one for that matter. No words can comfort your heart after it is broken in so many pieces. I look up at my mother’s and father’s picture above my desk every day and think about all of the positive memories that are carefully stored away in my mind and in my heart. Sometimes I shed tears and sometimes I just pick up a pen and just start writing.
Now, this is my testimony or life experience however you want to define it. What is your story or experience? It is important to allow yourself to feel and to express honestly. I survived throughout my journey because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me. I reflect on scriptures that are hidden in my heart in order to rise up above my problems, situations, depression, sadness, hurt, etc.
• Don’t mistake God’s patience for His absence. His timing is perfect, and His presence is constant. He’s always with you! Deuteronomy 31:6
• Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7
• With God there is no limit to what you can do. There is no obstacle you can’t overcome. Through Him, all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

JOURNAL PROMPTS
The truth doesn’t cost anything, but a lie could cost you everything. – Unknown Author
I love journaling because it is a safe place for me to put my feelings and emotions into words, then put my words into action. Remember, journaling is your very own personal journey throughout life, your ups and downs, your successes and failures. In addition, journaling is a powerful way to process events in your life, build self-awareness, get more clarity, and keep yourself on track. Journaling also allows for past reflection, future insight, and present surrender. Keep in mind that this is a journey. Everyone takes their own path. Ready, set, write!
