Letting Go of Bitterness and Anger

I watched the videos I made yesterday at my hometown's Memorial Day ceremony. I heard myself speaking some bitter words. I wasn't listening to the speakers. Frankly they were ticking me off. I am thankful that I didn't put it out there publicly. It wouldn't have been helpful to anyone. It may have hurt. It is good that they still had the ceremony that honored the dead.

Letting go of bitterness and anger isn't easy. When I contemplate the carnage that our governor and other democratic governors have done, I can't help getting angry. The bitterness comes in when I feel helpless to do anything about it. I know that it is detrimental to my health to let anger and bitterness rule me.

I understand that God is in control. It is the only thing that keeps me going. I can function when I know that he will work all things out for my good. I can stop stressing over what's happening.

Letting go of bitterness and anger is necessary. It doesn't serve any purpose.

I resolve to hand over my fears for tomorrow to the One who holds all tomorrows in his hands. I will let God reign in my heart and mind. I won't try to control my destiny, but put my destiny in his hands. He will guide me and save me.

Letting go of bitterness and anger frees me to love others. The release of bitterness and anger creates a void that can be filled with God's love. I know that I can't let go when I do it under my own power and strength. There has to be someone to help me let go.

I can't rely on my own devices. I have to rely on God. It is the only way to true peace and happiness.

Letting go of bitterness and anger shows others that you are a child of God. They want what you have, because it shows on your face. You can't hide the happiness that flows out of you. It is also like a weight being lifted.

I praise God for releasing me from bitterness and anger. I can move forward in his perfect plan. I cherish the lessons that I am learning.

Letting go of bitterness and anger honors God. It tells him that you trust him with your life. You are letting him control you and bring you joy.

I love you, Lord. You fill my heart with gladness. You free my soul to soar over the heavens. How marvelous are the works of your hands! I see them new every morning.

Standing Up For Freedom: Fighting Against Tyranny

I really never thought I'd be in this position. By nature I am an introvert, and used to be very shy. It has only been fairly recently that I've been thrust into a position where I need to be more extroverted. There is a reason for the change in my personality. I think we all go through it at one time or another in our lifetime. For some of us that change comes on suddenly. We don't understand it. We sometimes wish it didn't happen, yet we can't go back.

Standing up for freedom is hard. Everyone tells you that you are crazy to "buck" what's happening. You should be grateful for the "free" money and that the government wants to control every aspect of your life. You should welcome the surveillance and tracing that they are planning to do. You should embrace the mandatory vaccine. Governors know what's best....Not!

Yes, I am nervous about the stand I'm taking. It isn't easy to fight against tyranny in any form. They use soft words, telling us it is for our own good. They tell us that they know what's best for us. They don't. I am glad that some are waking up to the fact that the power hungry Democratic governors are causing their states' economy to crash. It is not President Trump's fault, as much as they like to put the blame on him.

The fight may be bloody soon. I shudder to think this, yet some have said that freedom doesn't come without cost. I am reminded of the many men and women who fought to preserve our freedom. I imagine that they are rolling in the graves at the sight that their states have given up their freedom for safety. The fear mongers are in full force. They would have us trembling in our houses waiting to die. I often wonder how this time period will be recorded. Will the lessons we learned about the corruption be front and center? I'd like to think that we will be victorious over the socialistic Congress, and defeat their evil schemes to completely bankrupt the country so they can bring in their new world order.

Don't get me wrong. There are some good things about globalization. It has brought the world closer together. Globalization though is an enemy to freedom and an encouraging force for tyrannical governments. The problem is that everything is so meshed together that it is easy to forget that you are not part of an global entity. Globalization steals identity and exasperates poverty.

It is Obama's legacy that is now coming to haunt us. He encouraged the lessening of American pride and created a well of disbelief that knocked the country to its collective knees. People got used to the free cell phones and other goodies that they didn't have to pay for or work for at all. They didn't realize that they were selling their souls to the government.

This fight against tyranny won't be easy. Many are disillusioned by the promise of free money for life. They don't realize the terrible cost they will pay for it.

Rays of Hope in the Midst of a Great Darkness

I recently had a vision of the future that made me want to cry happy tears. In this season where we dwell in great darkness, it is nice to turn our focus on those rays of hope. Frankly all the "doom and gloom" has really started to affect my mental and physical health. I saw this future as one where everyone had a job they loved to do, they had resources they needed and everyone had the freedom to do what they wanted. I know that vision isn't practical. Not everyone will have a job they love to do. Not everyone will have the resources they need, and not everyone has the freedom to do what they want.

Some may that hope is overrated. The great darkness surrounds us with depressing images of a draconian society. I can hear them laughing at our struggles to free ourselves from the great darkness. They press us with hopeless messages of despair and pain. Yet those rays of hope poke through the darkness and shine light on their evil deeds. They can't hide. Hope always blooms.

I hate the changes our society is going through now. Some may say that they are the result of our compliance with the disintegration of our moral compass. We allowed the evil to flourish. Yet we now complain when we see the bitter fruits of this compliance with the Devil and his minions.

There are some rays of hope that pierce the great darkness. Nothing will remain hidden. It will all be brought to light soon. I do rejoice to see the movement of many who want to take back their freedom from tyrannical governments. They see the darkness, and want to shine the light on the ugly corruption. They will be exposed soon. When that day comes, we will rejoice that God has brought us through the dark sea.

I see a great vision where God is magnified and exalted throughout the whole world. It is a beautiful vision. I feel the tears in my eyes when I realize I have been set free...

Oh, Lord...Thank you for those rays of hope in this great darkness. Thank you for the light of your word that shines brighter than the sun in the sky. It is you, Lord that carries us through the storm. I don't have to be afraid of this dark storm that seems to overcrowd the sky. I can lean on the Lord, my Savior.

I am a vessel in God's hands. This great darkness can't hide me from God. He sees me even then and loves me with a love that is indescribable. I am amazed that he could love me. I am nothing special. Yet he signals me out to stand in his presence and bask in his radiant love. I don't deserve his love. None of us do. He sends those rays of hope, so we may know him.

A Voice for the Voiceless: Fighting Against Those Who Would Disbar People From Living

Yes. I am a voice for the voiceless. There are still so many of us that are very leery about putting everything online. We balk against using online banking. We like cash, even though the push is to eliminate cash. There is a scary rumor that cash will kill you. They are really pushing the fear factor to the point that businesses are starting not to accept cash as payment. This is not right.

I am fighting against those who would disbar people from living. They don't want these people to live because they can't control them. They much rather have everyone use their electronic currency so they can control you. The weak willed individual accepts this. They don't want to understand why going cashless means that someone can control you in every way.

Yet I can understand it too. You don't have to carry cash around. A card is convenient. Nowadays you don't even have to touch anything, just tap your card and go. It is way too easy to transfer electronic currency and spend money you don't have on things you don't need.

I am admittedly frightened by the rapid acceptance that cash is dirty, and you shouldn't accept cash for payment. I was calmed by the fact that the government is, for now, listening and has no plans as yet to eliminate physical currency. I do hope that the government and banking industry continues to listen. If more people weren't using physical currency, there wouldn't be a line at the drive through windows at the banks. I hope they see that.

We definitely need to fight this tenancy to fear cash or end up losing everything. We've already lost so much over the past two months. I am praying that we'll be able to get it back. Oh, Lord...please help us. We need you. I don't want to live in a society that takes away people's ability to live. We need that physical cash as a tangible asset. Electronic currency is invisible. It has no substance. It can be manipulated and controlled.

Free us, Lord from this tyrannical state government. May the curses that he has put on us fall on his own head, Lord. May he feel the pain and suffering that he put his constituents under today. May the impeachment inquiries move forward, and our state be free from his oppressive restrictions soon.
