If Not For Grace...

Refreshed, Restored, and Refocused....That's How I am feeling after spending the weekend with my family in NYC. I needed the time away...so I could get my mind in a state where it was ready for all the upcoming plans that I have. Now that my book is all but finished I know that the hard work is truly coming. I am so proud that this part of my project it finished. There is something rewarding about what I have before me. That feeling alone is so worth it! I am going to be grinding hard because I know that nothing worth having just falls in your lap. The reward comes from knowing that you put forth the effort and there will be success for you. So the way I see it...I have already conquered this. I look to the future when it comes to my writing career. I have so many ideas that I pray I will be able to share with the world. Or at least those in the world that see things as I do, those who are willing to see things in a different light, and my supporters.

This upcoming book is not the only thing on the horizon for me.

I have a big move coming up. Most would consider this a bad time to be making such life changes but I know that I need change in my life all together. I need to purge the negativity and move on to the blessings that the Lord had laid in front of me all along...I was just too blind to see.

I think that some of us..or maybe just me, think that they are not worthy of happiness. So when happiness and fortune are within our reach we back away. Looking for something else, something that you feel is more up your alley. Backing away from that may not always mean doom. It will teach you a lesson, that is for sure. I was running in another direction because I was scared to take a hold to what was meant for me..... Going in that direction and trying to focus my attention where it wasn't meant caused some heartache and trouble, both for me and others I am sure. However it also made me smarter. It showed me that I don't have to seek out something else. Not when the real thing has always been there and has remained even when I faltered. This is the way it was always meant to be. This is what God has blessed me with and I will no longer keep fighting it. I will acccept it. I know he makes no mistakes...and thankfully for his Grace, he forgives us when we do.



Please read the blog from begining to the end. I hope in doing that You will gain a better understanding of me.



Lots of Love Liz.

I Can See Clearly Now....

Sometimes I wonder why are some people so consumed by their own reasoning that they can't hear anyone else's.
I have come to realize that I don't know it all. I don't know everything. I once thought this way when I was a child. Now that I am an adult, I know better. I know that there are many things that I will learn from others. There are points of views that I may not have thought about, therefore changing the way I feel. Or at least opening my eyes to see a picture at a different angle. These realizations have changed me for the better. It has allowed me to open myself up to many other possibilities. To be able to absorb knowledge from others...and I can only pray that they have learned something from me in the process as well.
I say all this to make one point. Don't get so hung up on your own words that the words and wisdom of others fail to move you. Take something from it. It may change you....make you realize that you were right all along...Or maybe help you see the picture more clearly.


Thank you for the support.

Lots of Love Liz....

I Am Able....

This is a time in my life where I am discovering new things about me and what I want and except.
I have discovered that my talent is writing and although it does need to be polished, this is what I will do. This is who I am. I have been writing this with the thought in the back of my mind that this may not become a reality. I know this is in part due to the people that should be my support system...They can be less then supportive. Don't get me wrong, I have the support and love of many people...even from strangers that share my passion for writing and expression. I know that I have to rebuke these thoughts. It's those doubts that will hinder me in my pursuit. So from this day forward, I will only speak of the great things that will happen. The successes I will achieve. The accomplishment that I will feel for going after what I want and need to be whole.
I am also becoming more and more aware that I can't except anything from anyone. I AM ABLE! Able to encourage myself, To lead my family, (until the man that GOD has created for me finds me and is in position to take the lead) To pursue my dream... and pick myself up when I fall.
This is definitely a learning process. I have learned of my strengths and my weaknesses. Things that I already knew existed. Some I have conquered and others I am working through. My strengths have increased and guided me.

I want to Thank everyone for the Love and, believe it or not, the Hate. I am growing because of it!

Please continue to read...

Lots of Love Liz.
