Healed to Speak

I hope you each had a memorable Thanksgiving! . Each Thanksgiving, before the New Year begins, I take time to look over the year to view my accomplishments or failures. I think about what I can improve right now as opposed to waiting for January 1 st to roll in. I do not believe in New Year’s resolutions; however, I do believe in setting long-term and short-term goals. For the most part, I am happy to see some of the accomplishments I have made; but I am also disappointed in areas where I had setbacks whether self-inflicted or not. However, it will not hinder me from making the necessary changes before proceeding into the New Year.   I would like to share a few steps that I have already taken to make changes. First, it starts with your mind and it must be renewed in order for true change to take place; therefore, do your best to stick to a plan to accomplish both your spiritual and natural goals. Second, embrace the process. There is no such thing as a lofty goal; ho...

Hello Everyone! Thank you for taking the time to view my first video. I was happy to share a little bit of myself with you. There will definitely be more to come...so stay tuned! God is funny as it was never my intention to do videos (though I was told I would). At least for now, I thought I would only write. However, as I share with you today, God has a perfect plan for our lives even when we are uncertain of the path or if the path goes in a direction we did not expect. As I share this brief video, be encouraged knowing that God's plan for you is perfect and he would not have it any other way. I love you all, Darlene  #healedtospeak

As I have shared before, the goal of my blog is to impart into you as God imparts into me. When praying and contemplating what the Lord would have me to say, there are times when He speaks resoundingly and other times in a small still voice. This particular week, it was neither so I am going to say what has been impressed on my heart today and that is love one another . John 13:34-35 says “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (NIV). I believe each of us would be further in our walk with Christ if we learned how to love one another regardless of our disagreements or circumstances. Sometimes we are so busy pointing out the negative in others that we forget to simply love.  We all know some people are harder to love than others, but without love we are nothing. My prayer today is we love one another with the same love God has freely given...
