You Matter More


You Matter More

It has been a long road, the waiting for things to change. It is so hard to keep your heart soft. It feels so much easier to close it off. To stop hoping. To stop trying to get yourself to believe that things will change—that your loss won’t bring pain, that you won’t feel stuck in depression, trapped in circumstances you didn’t anticipate being yours to live. 

This was not the plan, you tell Me. It was not the plan to feel isolated - not only from other people but from your own heart. For you have put it away, this heart of yours. It has felt too much—too needy, too heavy. What it needs, what it cries out for, you don’t even want to know. That was me..... I was afraid of my new life, a life I didn’t plan.

So did you push it down? Did you kept it quiet or isolated? Did you ignore it the best you can? And are you are getting good at it too?. It aches, I tried to look at the bright side to think about the positive things in my life. When it feels heavy, I make myself busy. I’d stayed preoccupied with tasks and projects and work. There is always so much to do. It is easy to keep moving, keep filling moments with the next thing and the next thing and the next. And your heart gets buried, silenced in the busy and the noise.
But I see it. I know it. I have not forgotten it. I am not tricked, distracted by all your movement, your ignoring of what I love most.
Will you listen now? I have something to say. You matter. You matter to Me. Your emotions, your opinions, your story, your pain. How you feel and what you think. You are treasured. Do not ignore you. Do not dismiss you. Do not reject you. Do not neglect you. So, please, why do you do this to your own self? Why do you run from your feelings, dismiss your opinions? Why do you push away your desires, assume they are not important, not worth caring about? It’s not worth it. You are only hurting you. 
Your heart matters - your heart is not just a shell, a hollow holding place where your thoughts, your emotions, your ideas should be dismissed. For you matter. You matter. Your heart matters. Your desires matters. 
It is time to pay attention to it. It is time to address your pain, years of dismissal of your own thoughts and memories and hopes and dreams, and give it to God the one who will take your pain when you decide to let go. For God sees it, and God knows it—and giving it to Our Heavenly Father will enable youto see it, hear it, feel it. It is time to stop ignoring the masterpiece that you are and the plan that God has installed for you.
You are complex and beautiful, a masterpiece I want to restore and heal. So slow now. Pause. Take a deep breath. Take another. There is a journey we are going to set out on. It a journey to your heart. And you will not go it alone. It is place luminous with the hope of joy. It is a place fragrant with new life. It is a place restored and good—where all the old pain is noticed and attended to. We honor your heart and trust God will honour our lives and our pain.. God will show us how to love your own self and our new life by letting God love you. We have to go there. We have to. Come; no more distraction. This is going to be so good—the beginning of everything for you. Let’s go.

You can do this.
Be You
Be Real 
Be Authentic

Dating.

“Single are you ready to mingle” Being a widow has been the most hardest journey I’ve ever in encounter in my life. It has been also a blessing that Our Heavenly Father is able to heal me and to give me the strength to continue this journey without my wonderful, increditable, loving, handsome husband. God is Good!!!!  But I wanted to talk about this topic “DATING”. There are a lot of you writing to me about this topic.  It’s been 2 years and 3 months since  my husband Age has passed away. I have no urgency or the desire to date anyone because I enjoy being fully whole with God. Spending time with my Heavenly Father and my loved ones is what I need for this season. But if it’s the Lords will for me to have another husband. ( hmmmm man that sounds weird??). Well that’s God’s instructions. But at this moment in my life,  I’m happy trying to fix me and fix my eyes onto God.  People ask me all the time, “When will I be ready to date?” My answer a...

New To Widowhood

One year into widowhood. First year of being a widow was hell!  When Age passed away I continued to stay with Age’s family. I didn’t want to leave Melbourne yet. I was trying to figure out what the hell was happening with my life.  So I pretended like everything was normal, I continue to carry on with life as if Age was alive; I went to work, pay bills, attended church and the list goes on.  But I started to noticed that things weren’t the same. The more I noticed the more I became depressed. My Home environment changed - there are certain things happened at my Melbourne home around me and towards me that we’re pretty bad. If my husband was alive things would have been handle differently or it wouldn’t happen at all.  My Health - I was gaining huge amount of weight, I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes, there were days I could walk because of my back. I did all this not realising I was hurting myself.  My Finances - I was down on o...

Take Heart

"Am I OK?" Have you ever walked into a room and turned around because you have no idea why you’re there? Grief can do that to you. Unfamiliar emotions can make you think you’re losing your mind and can make important decisions seem close to impossible. If you’re experiencing mental fogginess, take heart. The clouds will lift.  Grief-related sleeplessness, appetite changes, mood swings and mental cloudiness will diminish and eventually subside over time. The good news is, you are not going crazy.  Miss.Age❤️
