Move

Life is not promised.
Time does not pause.
Stop waiting for the perfect time to start.
Stop expecting that things will suddenly change.

Be active in your life.
Be present in your situation.
Make moves on your own behalf.
Have faith and do the necessary work.

Fear can no longer have the upper hand.
Fear can no longer be an excuse.
Fear will always be around.
So, acknowledge your fears, prepare yourself for battle, and move on to do what you’ve been placed here to do anyway.

Live with purpose.
Chase after your dreams.
Make moves towards your goals.
Even just a little step forward is one step closer to where you are meant to be.

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you,
if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain,
‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. 
Nothing will be impossible for you.”
–Matthew 17:20-21

Keep Breathing

I stare into the emptiness as words fail to come out.
My chest tightens as my respirations increase.
What are they thinking?
Can they sense my discomfort?
How do I stop my heart from beating so fast?

Breathe in…breathe out…

Think.
Say something.
They’re waiting.
But don’t say that.
Think.
Just say it…but not like that.

Breathe in…breathe out…

Lies start to fill me head.
My words don’t even matter.
They don’t even care about what I have to say.
My words don’t even matter.
Just stay silent…
…but keep breathing.

Breathe in…breathe out…

For the Spirit of God has made me,
and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
