Have you ever experienced something so intense that you felt you could do nothing else before you shared it? To send a message in hopes at least one person could receive that message just as strongly as you did? Obviously, that happened to me. Just about an hour ago. So, here I am, forsaking what ever else logic is dictating I should do, knowing that this will be another late night fulfilling responsibilities in other areas of my life. That's okay. I'm alright with that for if I do not get this out of my system, anything I do today will be done half-a@@. I am virtually being pushed to getting this done, and I feel good about it, come what may. With that out the way, let me add this disclaimer: I will be directing you to another site in order to listen to a program. The person responsible for it, I feel, though we have never met in person, is a dear friend of mine, one whom came into my life by divine intervention. I may get into that another time, but I will say he has helped get me through some of my darkest days of despair. Anyway, my point is, I am not a paid sponsor. I also do not get any kind of kickback via an affiliate service. Heck, my website is so new, most search engines do not know it even exists. But that is not why I created this site anyway. This is a labor of love. Now that you have that information, I hope you read on. There is a man, DennisJ (DJ), who has created a site called "The Adult Church." I believe God is using him as a tool to let those who are lost, hurting, confused, "fill in the blank," to know He is there, that He has your back; the only caveat is that you must be willing to want to have a relationship with Him, to let Him in your life so to speak. I believe the crap in this life is of man (woman, too), is of this world. Are you familiar with the Great Fall of man? <== Click on that for the biblical background. Anyway, that's the situation we are in. But, as Jim Rohn once said, “You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.” If you are one to ignore reviews of movies, books, restaurants, and want to experience it yourself first, then by all means jump right in: Lessons Learned How to Get From Here . . . To Where You Always Wanted to Be. Things to know beforehand:
DJ states the person most at peace is the one who deals with the blows by addressing it directly, having the faith she will get through it, accepting and acting on a plan that will get her out of the valley. The life's lesson realized will be born from whatever mistake or decision that led to being in the valley. It might be a decision made by some one else in your life that got you to this time of despair; in other words, something out of your control. Socrates once mused, "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." You may have areas in your life that are at peace; but, as DJ tells you in the message, the areas that are not at peace, your areas of despair, of hurt, of hopelessness is where God is needing you to hear Him. He knows your pain and suffering. Didn't He not send his Son to the world to take on all our sins, all the suffering? Jesus went through physical and emotional torment for us. (John 3:16 {KJV}). The change you need to make may not be pretty or easy to come by, or even seem logical. But if it is the path you need to take, the one God is leading you to, the path will feel right; it will bring peace to your mind, heart and soul no matter how hard the climb out of the valley is. You are doing what needs to be done, you are "taking care of business." <== This is one of songs DJ uses in the program. Fits, doesn't it? Your valley may have you screaming, "WHY ME?!" I will not give you my entire life's story (that could get boring rather quickly), but it seems appropriate to give you one of the stories so you will know I emphatically understand that feeling: When my Dad passed away a few years back, it was not an easy death. He had been in and out of the hospital, in the last stages of an incurable cancer that spread. The night before his last day on earth (unbeknownst to be that it was to be his last), I knew I had to visit him early in the morning. It was a Saturday, and had made plans to be with my family that day for I had spent so much time from them, helping both my Dad and Mom for the past few months. But I felt a push-and-pull to see Dad. So, at 4:00am, I drove the 40 minutes it took to get to the hospital. At that point, Dad was in the ICU again for he had been having problems with his blood pressure and bleeding. Before I entered his room, though it was dark, I could see his bed was raised somewhat and he was awake. I stopped when I saw a darkness on his hospital gown, near his neck. I knew he could see me, but he could not speak. It just took seconds for me to realize he was bleeding out and choking. The ICU doctor was just outside the room next to his and I waved to get this attention to come to the room. Something kept me from showing my panic; I knew my Dad would be able to see it for his eyes were adjusted to the dark. The doctor came, I whispered what I believed was happening. The doctor turned on the room's lights, confirming it. As he pulled back the sheets while simultaneously calling for a nurse, the bleeding was not limited to coming up through his throat. As they prepared to do what they needed to do to stop him from choking, I helped clean him up. So, here I am today, thanks to listening to DJ, telling you that there are lessons from life that God wants you to use. It can help bring peace to that part of your life you are struggling with so you can listen, understand the change that needs to take place, and, with God's help, act upon that understanding. I will end this long post with one more message that I got out of DJ's program. Part of that help God is here to do, is to try and help "fix you." 'Try' because he can't do it alone - He needs your help. DJ uses a song done by Cold Play to drive that message home, appropriately titled "Fix You." Like DJ instructs, replace "I" with "God." Trust Him. Just reach out. Don't be afraid. He can help fix you, help you change, help you walk the path out of the valley. Let it go, Let it be. Move forward. He's waiting. Be at peace.
