Xtra- A-Z Writing Challenge

-

Today in my A-Z Writing Challenge I am on X word of the day So what better day to use this as a free writing day that I will call “Xtra.”  


I will start with giving Jesus some Xtra praise and glory today for losing 42 lbs since February. All it took is some accountability.  I have been staying with my mom and she has been coaching me along the way. I am stoked,  I am on a new path with my weight loss to get down under 200 lbs.  Yes I ballooned up and I felt yucky.   I am feeling 100 percent better. I thank you Jesus and I am excited to get to my goal. 


I am really excited about my new writing challenge. It is going to be a whole lot tougher but still another A-Z Writing Challenge…but this time it will be a poetry challenge.   I am looking forward to seeing how it pans out. It is going to take my spending more quality time with GOD. I really enjoy spending time with Him and will reap the benefits of writing poetry.  


On this challenge though, sometimes I could not get to writing everyday. So it may take more than one day to come up with a Christian themed poem. I hope not i want to really attempt to write everyday to  hone in on my passion for writing encouraging and blessing others through what God has given me.


What other Xtra can I write about but my Jesus.  He is my everything and I would not even exist without His leading and guiding me. Life can be such a roller coaster ride with many ups and downs and twists and turns!!! Thankfully Jesus is on that rollercoaster with us taking us to new highs and lows in him as we submit to His plans we can rest assured that HE will never leave us. 


I want to leave you with a scripture for today. 


“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.”Romans 8:28   


At times in our lives we do not see things working in our favour. But the God that I serve is “working” behind the scenes. He is doing a good work in, for and through us even when we do not really think He is.  


How many times we fret and think that God has left us or is silent.  Have you ever heard the phrase that during the exam the teacher is quiet? Thank you Jesus for making us look beyond our feelings!!! Thank you for working when we don't even realize it. Open the eyes of our hearts to see your hand of deliverance upon us.

I always see a flower before it blooms.                               Richard T Hicks 2020 I was not always like that.  Why and exactly how in the world did my perspective change over the years? I used to be completely opposite.  I was a Norman Negative and Pessimistic Peter. You name it, I was it. I seen the glass half empty never half full. I was a constant worrier about the future and lived in the past. It was as if everyday was a drudgery.   All I could see before me as all my mistakes I had made in my life. All I seen in the mirror was one big mistake. It is as if I lived mistake after mistake. I felt like a scratched up record that could not be fixed.   Before I fell asleep at night not only did my mind replay the negative from that day but it was like it domino'ed a past of bad negative choices I had made in life surfaced....  I wanted to die but was afraid to...  It would keep me up for hours tormenting my mind..... I don't really think I am the only

Dear Jesus I just want to take the time to say I appreciated all you have done for me through your sacrificial death on that dark and cruel cross.   You didn’t have to do it… but you did.   It makes me sad that you had to die to make this all possible…but you did it without hesitation.  All my love and life I owe to You… Thank you ABBA for your grace and mercy poured out upon all people on this earth.   Draw them and give them a revelation of your divine glory.  For you gave your only son.   I am so grateful to you for redeeming me so I wouldn’t have to die.   For Jesus has already been on that cross and already experienced my destruction in the grave.  He already died once for all creation.   For in Adam we have died already, but through Christ we have been made alive through that glorious resurrection by the power of your Holy Spirit.   Yes God has already done it all through the power of His Spirit.    For He has already seated us in heavenly places in Jesus.   He has given us a hop

Not in a Hurry

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.
