Poem: The Right to Believe….


The Right to Believe…..


Many a nights I have stayed awake wondering how others see me
The belief that I follow seems not to be the same
Yet in my heart I know that they are true, even if they seem different
Rules and regulations that “Man” has set forth in so many religions 
Stating that their beliefs is the truth that has been given to only them
A “Divine Creator” who I call “God” and others give him/her other names
Together it seems that it is all the same creator and Divine Source
A human man called “Jesus” the Christ came over 2000 years ago with words that others called
“Blasphemy”
Fear they had for it was truth he was proclaiming and of God they intuitively knew he was
He came and brought a belief and teaching that God our Father declared
Still he had to give his life so he can save us mere humans of our misguided ways
His words and teachings that will always be a part of me for his Blood he shed for all
For as he came for his people as written by Prophets he in the far future has also saved even Me!
His journey was of a simple humble human in the Divinity of God
For in my belief he was God’s Son in Human Form that was prophesied in the Old Testament
The wonders he did and the knowledge that he share were too many to write
Yet still others turned away form him calling him a sinner and the Devil’s Son
God was in front of them and yet they so ignored the truth
No matter what proof he had given them they denied to believe who he truly was and told them he was
Here we all are with all these words that were written of his time spent on Earth
Giving us the truth of what God our Father sacrificed his only Son for us all
We still walk away not learning much of his words and meanings of it all
For so many have separated ways and in Jesus Christ name they turned against each other
Woe,, I say to you, what have we lost in those teachings
That we have tried to take away the right of others Beliefs in denial of their faith
Let’s remember what he commanded us all to do in his Name; “Love God with all of you and Love all others even your enemies”

Addictions - Not Always Noticed

When you hear the word “Addiction”, what’s honestly the first thing that comes to your mind?  The first thing that comes to my mind the majority of the time is alcohol or drugs, for that turns into a chemical dependency beyond the mental or emotional state.  Yet addictions can be to anything physical, emotional or thoughts actually even with relationships to people or a cause.  The majority of us get so wrapped up in our lives that we don’t take the time to analyze what’s happening with us health wise including the whole person “body, mind & spirit” so it can become to grow into an addiction.  When you start realizing there is a problem even though your love ones keep bringing it to your attention its when  the floor drops on you that it makes you Wake Up and you Face the Truth that you have become an addict.  It is not an easy step to take for admitting that what or whom you like becomes an obsession it can then become an addiction.  There was one day that my conversation with my

The Cries of the Body

The Cries of the Body Even though I have always been sensitive and aware of my body’s reactions to the external and internal substances, I just realized at 62 years wiser (LOL) how much I do try to control my surroundings, situations, as well as my body to follow my thoughts and desires.  For many years since my early 30s I was diagnosed with Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and was informed if not controlled in later years it can turn into Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar aka Diabetes).  A part of me knew it was due to stress for it did occur after my massage course and studying for my massage license.  The divine guides which is also what some call “inner wisdom” there were messages that was given about taking time to relax and meditate.  There was information given to me from specialist in the Health industry as well as books I read to separate my meals into smaller portions so I will eat every 2-3 hours in the day which helps also with your metabolism which is the proper way for every

Fallen

Fallen When there are times that you feel that when you finally get yourself off the ground, there’s another hurdle  close to you waiting for you, to see if you can jump that one smoothly or will it cause you to trip and have you fall once more.  This hurdle seems to you higher and with extreme exhaustion you feel as you can’t gather enough strength to run nonetheless  to jump another hurdle and a larger one at that!!  You realize that there are two Options;  1.  Wave the White Flag and Quit 2.  Pick yourself Up even though you may feel that you will Fail this One There is honestly a 3rd Option and amazingly it requires no amount of Strength  but it does Require your complete FAITH!  The key is for this is my Testimony to YOU:   LET GO and LET GOD!!!! The simple action is to ASK GOD to help you and your job is to follow him!   It’s like when you are caught in that rapid stream that you have let go for you no longer have the strength to fight against the current and just pray that it wi
