Some people feel there is no hope. There are those who have lost their jobs. There are others who have lost a loved one, or have some bad news from their doctor. Where is the hope there?

I have been in the deep muck and more wondering the same things. I have been at the corner of despair and hopelessness.

I almost gave up myself. I was sitting in my Ford Explorer and thinking of suicide. It was at that point that I cried out to God that I couldn’t take it anymore. God heard my cries and gave me a calmness I hadn’t felt in  months. He lifted me out of that muck and mire, and give me direction to write my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

You can have the same thing happen to you. Never let the scams of Satan sway your thinking into feeling that all is lost. God is always just a prayer away. My prayer was answer right on the spot.

Sometimes His timing isn’t that fast. We often don’t get a answer right away. God’s timing is perfect, however. He knows when the right time is for us.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are  never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Writing is not a sport. It is hard work and can get to the point of writer’s block. How do you avoid writer’s block?

Here are some things I do when that pesky writer’s block attacks:

  • Get away from the computer, or what ever device you use to write.
  • Go on a walk. Don’t think about your writing for one second on the walk. Look around and enjoy what you see.
  • Start another writing project that has no connection to what you are now working on. A fresh start often gets the brain working again.
  • Have lunch with a friend, and again, don’t talk about writing. Just enjoy the meal, and catching up on how your friend is.

Writing block doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, take measures to avoid it as much as you can by coming up with alternative things to do.

It is hard, at best, to accept life when someone you love is ill, and may not make it. I am going through that right now. My mother is almost 96 and she is failing her health this last week. It is very hard to visit her and see her slowly fade. I sometimes wonder to myself why God would let her linger so long through this pain and hard trial.

Then I think of what she has meant to me. I think that even though I have to hand feed her, she did the same thing for me when I was little. I also think of that when I have to change her clothes because she has had a accident.

Our parents went through some hard times to get us where we are today. The least we can do is provide them with as much comfort as possible in their final hours on this earth.

Take this day to go and thank your parents for all they have done for you. There may come a time where it will be too late.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

The election is over in the United States, and we have another four years of the same  president. What does that mean to you? Are you happy or disappointed?

I personally had the worst time deciding who to vote for in my many years of being able to vote. It was difficult at best. The person I voted for didn’t win, but this is what I suggest to both sides:

  • It matters who wins, but it matters more that we pray for whoever wins. I will be praying that our president tries very hard to work with both parties, and come up with some solutions. The last four years have been fighting and bickering amongst themselves, and haven’t accomplished much of anything.
  • I  will pray for open minds, and understanding listeners. People who want what is best for their country and not what is best for their party.
  • I will pray for a president who seeks union amongst all people, and leads the fight to what is best for those forgotten in the trials and storms of life.

Think about what you feel you need to pray about and “just do it.”

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!
