A brother is born for a time of adversity

As I open my heart to gratitude, I am filled with a deep sense of joy and wonder at all of the blessings that surround me. From the gift of waking up each day happy and healthy, to the simple pleasures of trying something new, I am reminded of the beauty and abundance that infuse every moment of my life.

In this moment of reflection, I am also grateful for the health of my grandfather, and for the way that he continues to improve each day. It reminds me of the power of faith and the importance of cherishing our loved ones while they are with us. The words of Psalm 91 come to mind: “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.” I am grateful for the sense of safety and comfort that I find in the divine, and for the way that it sustains me through life’s challenges.

As I consider the abundance in my life, I am grateful for the deep relationships and friendships that sustain me, for the connection that I feel to nature, and for the spiritual growth that I am experiencing on my journey. The words of Proverbs 17:17 come to mind: “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” I am grateful for the love and support of those around me, and for the way that they lift me up and encourage me to be my best self.

In my career, I am grateful for the opportunities to learn and grow, and for the ways that my work allows me to make a positive impact in the world. The words of Colossians 3:23-24 come to mind: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters…It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” I am grateful for the sense of purpose and meaning that I find in my work, and for the way that it allows me to use my talents and abilities to make a difference in the world.

And so I end this reflection with a heart full of gratitude and a deep sense of connection to the divine. I am reminded of the words of Psalm 118:24: “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” And so I rejoice, grateful for the many blessings that fill my life each day.

What is good ..

Garteful for God’s word to me today .
Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God—what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect. – Romans 12:2

Romans 11 poems

Oh, the depth of the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments and untraceable his ways!For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?And who has ever given to God, that he should be *repaid?For* from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen. – Romans 11:33*

Just be proactive

Gratitude journal

++Grateful that I am tired, exhausted physically but not attached to my previous destructive behaviors that I usually do when I am worn out. Grateful that binge eating is not me, it was a part of me at sometime when I did not have the willingness to cope with stress, anxiety, or over thinking.

Grateful that I am overthinking, but today  i am aware of it. Uncertainty is not a bad thing, and for the times I worried and overthinked, things just work out for the best. The facts are ; the things I was uncertain of, overwhelmed by turns out to be blessings, and they guided, sponsored my growth. Uncertainty comes from too much thinking of the future, expecting too much or too low are both harmful, just proact, expect the best and prepare for the worst. Uncertainty is fear and fear is delusional, and it will always be. Uncertainty is not something to base what I am doing in my day to day basis on, it is something to be aware of, it might happens that things became worse, but not all the times, and even though, you learn from dark times, you appreciate good times.
