Look up
When you’re feeling down, look up. When you can’t see a way out of no way, look up. When you’ve got no where to turn, look up. When things get hard, look up. When you need answers, look up. When you need help, look up. When you need comfort, look up. When you need God,Continue reading “Look up”
Holding cell
With the current world events and the things you’re battling personally and internally, it can sometimes feel as though you’ve been arrested and imprisoned by your problems, and that of the world’s. You’ve wept and hollered to be let free, yet you’re still locked behind troubled bars. The walls of your holding cell are slowlyContinue reading “Holding cell”
Until then
Whatever it is that God has instructed you to do, do it, so He can do what He needs to for you. Until then, you’re going to remain where you are. Whether you choose to believe it or not, you could be the reason for the hold up! Until next time my NOTE takers! DeetraContinue reading “Until then”

A lot of power lie within the tongue, so when speaking to someone or about someone, use caution with your words. I’mContinue reading “Words are weapons too!”
If you move, they’ll fall
I can remember as child, “testing my faith” (I didn’t realize that’s what it was back then), while playing a game with my acquaintances. I’d close my eyes and fall back, “trusting” (and praying like hell) that the person behind me would catch me.

NO WHITE FLAGS!
“It’s okay to fall down sometimes, just don’t stay there”! ~Deetra La’Rue People are so quick to throw in the “white towel”, because it’s so much easier to just quit.
