How one blog post a day can keep sorrow away?

Then I see that cursor blinking countless times as I was thinking how to start; what to say; what words to use. If I am to talk about my aches and pains – the lamentations as I used to do, words will be pouring like heavy rains.

But I am not going to.

I want to fight sorrow away. With a blog. One blog post a day.

That’s a plan I want to carry.

Because each day, each day is different…

There are times when I am so happy, so full of what I can do I feel I can conquer the world. Then there are days when all of a sudden, I am tired; fearful; worrisome; and most of all anxious of all tomorrows. But just before I succumb to abysmal torment, I remember, there are people like you too. And like I was, curious; reading what other people has to say with their lives; and get inspired and fight back in life.

I rather think about you and hope to imprint happiness than fear.

Just yesterday, I read a status post on facebook. Both held the same message about the goodness of God. One talks about how people fared badly when they deny the existence of God. It was brutal and it can really create such havoc of fear in your heart. While the other one says that God loves you and will bless you if you TRUST in HIM.

I chose the latter and share it on my timeline. I was thanked by three people and I can see more people sharing the post about Christ that I shared.

Now, I ask you if I shared the first one, the one about how God will punish you if you mock Him, how many people do you think will thank me?

Oh no, not that I don’t believe the first message because I do, it is just that I chose to calm others and share HOPE rather than FEAR.

So I ask, if you can do this, be this, achieve this, will you be happy and for how long?

I just want to explore, in my blogs here, the possibilities, the challenges we are all facing. Because I have a lot and when I think deep about it, most of my challenges come within. So rarely did a challenge come from the people around me. In the end, I choose to feel sad, be down and fear.

But I am not saying it is easy to choose hope or to fight back in life. Most of us grew up in an environment where people, our parents to be exact, fight for our battles. This is something that is very hard to get out of. While we age each year, our minds, habits, behavior among others, take time to adjust.

The day our parents decided to let us go, most often our college graduation day, is NOT the day our minds accept we have grown. We have to go through the passage of adulthood filled with pains, trials, discoveries and hopefully breakthrough.

But still, there are people who just can’t move on from being a child that much we see from people who can’t process responsibilities well. And we don’t have to go far, if we look at ourselves, our little child within also cry.

We cry for help because we feel insecure. We doubt our capabilities. We fear our future. We can’t just feel confidence no matter what we do.

Yes, affirmations help.

Yes, inspirational quote can lift us up a bit.

But what we truly need is support from people we care the most.

But then again, people we care the most, our parents, our partners, our children, look up to us for support to. And if they are weak, and you can’t summon the strength to be strong, what can you do?

You know, it would be easy for me to say pray to God.  Believe in Him. Trust His goodness.

But at times, again, there are people whom God has gone deaf. Prayers go unanswered. Times of revelations not happening.

And there are people who cannot grasp the meaning of God in their lives.

And I cannot, in my heart, allow myself to think that these people are hopeless because they are not.

I know that if you chose to stand when you stumble, you will find that a reaching hand will pull you up further, no question asked.

And words are one of the most potent tools to uplift a heart.

Your words, my words, words of God, words of love, words of hope, words to inspire and words that empower, this I seek. This I challenge me to blog each day. Without reservation, I let my thoughts out.

These thoughts that made me ME I share, I acknowledge in one blog a day, to inspire, to challenge and hopefully, to empower all of us.

God Bless,

Jean
