    My heart "gulped" when he told the "13.2 miles from my office" story. That's "deep" man. Congratulations to Maryland's new Governor. Wes Moore!!! I'm so glad you "made up your mind to define your own destiny". On election night when I voted for you, I also shook hands with Senator Paul Pinsky who was directing traffic at a local elementary school. Now, how cool is that!!! ✌🏽✌🏽👌 - BTW, I love how Oprah says "UA-cam!" 🥰🥰💯💯

    You are never in a room that you don't belong in.
    Have meaning in your career.
    Value your worth not by work but how you define your destiny
    Identify, calcify, unify
    Live a life of purpose
    Know what makes your heart sing
    Start/stop
    Research and support others to end the problems
    Connect people toghter, don't make them a subject but a participant
    When it's time to leave make sure it matters that you were even here.
    Tomorrow is not promised
    Do something today with what you have
    Love, Push, Give

    Dear Beloved Survivor:
    I wanted to drop these few lines as you’re in my thoughts, heart and prayers once again I will no doubt fulfill the definition of a few lines. I addressed this Beloved survivor because you are loved greatly.
    A survivor by definition: a person who survives, especially a person remaining alive after an event in which others have died; the remainder of a group of people of things; a person who copes well with difficulties in their life.
    I have often in the past posted letters here on Facebook addressed first Dear ___________, then I began to address them Dear Survivor and lately and today I address this letter Dearest Beloved Survivor. Because even though I don’t know who you are God does and you are His Beloved cherished by Him, always have been always will be.
    As the Lord recognizes me as a survivor He also expresses knowing those who became lost, wounded etc. He by His Spirit desired to reach them and speak to them letting them know He has not forgotten you or abandoned you and He has heard your cries. Through letters and books music etc.
    He begins to fulfill Ezekiel 34:11-12;16. (For thus says the Lord God, Behold I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep that have been scattered, so I will seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. 16a: I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak.)
    I wanted to share how I am doing? There are moments or times I find myself in the in-between. Witnessing and experiencing areas within myself that He is healing while recognizing the in-between moments. The in-between moments are those moments when answers to prayers are in the works but not yet complete. Moments I express how I feel regarding it etc. In the works by definition: being planned, worked on or produced (because of human folly, ignorance, sin and or evil) are only delayed for a time.
    Those moments the enemy wants us to believe and or think God has forgotten our prayers. It is these in-between moments I come across songs that minister to me and I proclaim although even when it hurts, even when it’s hard, even when it all just falls apart, I will run to you because I know that you are lover of my soul, healer of my scars and He steady my heart. Song Steady my heart.
    I run to Him with how I am feeling and then I listen to other songs like the WayMaker which proclaims (declares something one considers important) with due emphasis by definition ( special attention or prominence given to something).
    We proclaim He is here with us. We give Him thanks. We acknowledge He is working, He is moving, and proclaim His ability. He is the WayMaker, Miracle worker, Promise keeper, Light in the darkness, proclaiming that is who He is. As we continue to proclaim who He is there becomes a shift in our soul as He touches our heart and as He is touched by our worship and proclamation (a clear declaration of something, the public or official announcement, especially dealing with matters of great importance).
    In His great love He reaches deeper and we are able to express and become aware of our innermost thoughts and feelings secure in His ability we proclaim with assurance even when I don’t see it, You are working; even when I don’t feel it, You are working, You never stop working, You never stop working, You never stop working.
    As we continue to proclaim: even when I don’t see it, You are working; even when I don’t feel it, You are working, You never stop working, You never stop working, You never stop working we begin to see the moments in time that even though I didn’t see it or feel it, He was working, He never stopped, He never stopped. And those in-between moments we proclaim His ability. I may not see it or feel it as I continue to worship and proclaim it I see what He has already done and become (begin to see clearer that I am in a totally new situation)becoming confident He will and is working and will continue until it is complete.
    Songs that confess how I am feeling and or help me identify my feelings and thoughts and proclaiming His ability and begin to experience His Word active and alive for myself personally.
    So as you listen to songs as you feel a shift within yourself, you will find combatting the enemy through worshipful songs, proclaiming His ability moves the mountains within us. We experience His life changing ability personally for some for the first time.
    His gentle whispers through music, books, sharing etc. helping us sometimes recognize our feelings, emotions and thoughts as He begins to proclaim His love and affection for us and toward us through songs that minister to our souls.
    He is forever faithful. God’s love is strong enough to reassure yet unthreatened enough to release. Tight enough to embrace yet loose enough to enjoy. Magnetic enough to hold, yet magnanimous enough to allow for flight...with the absence of jealousy as He applauds ones accomplishments and helps each to see their competence. God in His Security, puts away nets, so people have an opportunity to flutter and fly. God believes in His creation. He sees beneath the surface and knows in ones inner most (well) being is a wealth of wisdom, a deep, profound, untapped reservoir of ability. Within the security of His love a person is often freed-released-to discover and develop their own capacity, to get in touch with ones feelings to cultivate their skills and emerge from the cocoon’s of their life to be all He created them to be. In the comfort of His love people flourish and blossom and are able to reach out far beyond their limited world. This is not in order to discard the necessity of human love and compassion but often allows one to be able to accept and receive it.
    Gods’ love is patient, Gods’ love is kind, Gods’ love does not envy or boast. His love is not arrogant or rude. God does not force His way, Gods’ love isn’t irritable or resentful. Gods’ love does not rejoice in wrong doing but rejoices with the truth.Gods’ love bears all things, believes all things, endures all things. Gods’ love never ends.
    Gods’ love is unconditional. Unconditional love by definition: is known as affection without limitations or conditions. This term is sometimes associated with other terms such as true altruism ( the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.) or complete love (having all the necessary or appropriate parts) love (a feeling or string of constant affection for a person.
    That is Gods’ love. Unconditional complete everlasting. With that I will close directing those to read Jeremiah 31:3; Romans 5:8; Gods’ love is the only love that never falters (never hesitates, never stumbles or never wavers) never fails (never unsuccessful in achieving one’s goal, never neglects to do something) take comfort in your faith and know God truly loves you now and forever.
    Sending His everlasting, unfailing love in Jesus name. Amen.
    Sincerely,
    A sister in Christ
    Linda Mullin
    Victim or Survivor:
    Being a victim is a state of body.
    Being a survivor is a state of mind.
    A victim fears falling. A survivor knows falling is a part of life.
    A victim knows about feeling down. A survivor knows feeling down is okay.
    A victim doesn’t always know the side effects of therapy. A survivors discovers ways how to cancel the side effects.
    A victim is amazed at all the tears.
    A survivor never leaves home without Kleenex.
    A victim goes to “see” a therapist or doctor.
    A survivor “consults” with their help.
    A victim feels helpless. A survivor says “thanks” with dignity and grace.
    A victim enjoys a good laugh. A survivor loves one.
    From the moment one is diagnosed they are victims, they must chose to be survivors.
    Seven days without laughter makes one weak.
    What did one therapist say to the other? Your couch or mine.
    How do you know what is in a persons heart? By what they do with the information they have been given.

    Thank you for your work :) I understand your points, but I do not agree with making people who want to use their resources to help feel bad or not good enough for doing so just because they are not a part of that particular community. Some people have empathetic hearts and deeply feel the pain that is in the communities without being a part of them, and we should never knock them down.
