I can’t even begin to fathom how and what turn my life would have taken if I hadn’t found my voice. My journals would have certainly continued to overflow yet, I can’t help knowing that the satisfaction of speaking out would have been lost in my life.
Today, I woke up grateful for this platform. Grateful for the gift of the voice, of connecting with others each day.
We may take it for granted that engaging with others is easy. I don’t think so!
Many are embroiled in inner turbulence in their lives yet they have no way to voice and channel this turmoil. Many people wander endlessly in the wilderness of uncertainty in search of a Purpose Driven Life. Nothing in life must be taken for granted even for those whom these gifts come easily.
Today, Dear Lord, I am so thankful for my voice. I am so thankful for those whom you’ve surrounded me with.
I wake up each day with so much to say that sometimes I feel as if I am combusting with words.
Words to uplift and inspire. Words to commend and motivate, words to affirm and instill life and I know that these gifts come from the Open Heavens and Deep Treasures. For all good things around us are sent from Heaven above.
Shalom.
Jacqueline

It is so good to have an outlet for our words, isn’t it?. I used to scribble in notebooks a lot, but then do nothing much with what I’d written. I’m sure there must be many, many other people who are exactly the same. One of the great things about a blog is having somewhere to express our thoughts, feelings and ideas. 🙂
