Often times, as we go through life I’ve found it to be the times when you’re waiting or in transition that we tend to get discouraged, become complacent, lose hope and, in some instances literally throw in the towel. It’s easy to believe and be merry when everything is lining up and looking good but, what about when all hell is breaking loose? What about when it’s from one thing to the next back to back? Or better yet, when you’re praying and time is moving but you don’t see anything getting better. Yea it’s changing, but it’s not better.

I’m reminded of the story of Hannah in the Bible (1 Samuel 1:9-20) when she was praying to God to allow her to conceive. It was already frustrating and I’m a woman so I can imagine her feeling inadequate after so long of trying and being unable to conceive then, on top of that she has her husband’s other wife Peninnah in her ear constantly reminding her of her barren state. Hannah became discouraged and bitter but she didn’t stop praying to God. Even when you feel like he’s forgotten; like he doesn’t hear you, keep praying, keep singing why, because he’s working behind the scene fixing that situation just for us!

I know at times it’s easier to just quit but I challenge you to hang in there. Just as when a woman gives birth to a child, yes it may hurt and yes she may become weak and tired but as she continues to push it away lol becomes worth it when she sees her little angel for the first time. So, not only is God working, but he’s fixing it so good that it’s going to be unexplainable and mind blowing; don’t give up, he’s STILL working.

 

What will you do now that I’m gone? Who will be your next victim? Who now shall be the one in whom is subject to bow at you’re each and every and every command? Locked away day after crucifying day, bound by the chains of depression and defeat. Who now shall you seek the need to hurt and deprive?

What is it with you that you just can’t seem to stand? Hand in hand everything seems to be given to you. Heart and soul you seem to just take it just because you feel you can.

What went from seconds turnt into moments, moments turnt into hours, hours into days, days into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years that I went from being full of joy and life into as one could say destroyed, and all but withered away.

What comes after death and freedom? How does one manage to conquer stability and overcome after they fall through the door of bondage and authority? How can I go and move on with my life and, actually be happy and prosper? How can I just put our unbearable past behind? Is it just that easy to forgive and forget? NO! it is not that easy. I never thought that to be free would cost so much. I never knew the desire for happiness like I do now. Like a well that has run dry in a famine land I thirst. I thirst for not just the ability to love, but for the ability to be loved. I thirst not just for happiness but for, a peace of mind.

Day after day, night after dark and dreary night, I am repetitiously haunted. Your face, your voice, the look in your eyes whenever you happened to notice me. When I look in the mirror, there’s a constant fear that, I’m not good enough; that I’ll never be good enough. I used to just sit up and cry. I didn’t understand why me of all people.

That was then, now this is today. First of all, I want to say thank you. Thank you for everything that I’m still going through as a result of it all; because shoot, if it wasn’t for you taking me through I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wouldn’t be stronger, I wouldn’t be wiser, I wouldn’t be a much better person than I was back during yesterday…

Whenever you get a chance to read over this, I want you to know that I am all that I am. I am beautiful, I am smart, I am smart and, I can be whatever it is in which I set my mind to do.

Yours Truly,

————-Your Oppressed————–

Life is something that we all are subject to young and old however, our perceptions and reactions to life is what in a lot of instances make the difference. I’m no better than the next person, but how I view and handle things may allow me the ability to withstand and endure more than the next person.

Throughout life, you’re going to undergo your fair-share of: betrayal, rejection, heartache, pain, disappointment, and anger. And guess what, sometimes it’s things we said and did that placed us in those predicaments but, what I love about living life is that as long as you still have breathe in your body; you STILL have an opportunity to keep going, do things better, and even go back and rectify the wrongs. Keep trying! Just because something may not be going up to part; the outcome doesn’t look so good doesn’t provide us the means to give up and walk away.

There’s someone out there waiting on you! They’re waiting to hear your story of all the challenges you faced. They’re in dire need to know how you overcame those times in your life… you have to keep trying; keep going with a goal in mind, pursue it! not stopping until you’ve accomplished that goal. We’re human mistakes are inevitable just NEVER stop trying. We’re human, discouragement is inevitable just, NEVER stop trying. We’re human and it’s ok just as long as we NEVER stop trying…

Empower me is merely a blog post with one obligation and one only; to empower it’s fellow man.

— KDC Movement

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

KDC is simply an empowering movement geared towards just being a voice of encouragement to the next person. Yes, money may solve a lot of things and open a lot of doors but sometimes, it’s a piece of mind that one truly needs.

Why do this?

• Because it gives hope and encouragement to the next person.
• Because helping and encouraging someone else sometimes; often times is an even bigger encouragement to the one helping or wishing to be of help.

To some it may be easier or make more sense to just keep a journal or, go as far as to write a book but a blog? I pondered and pondered with this for quite some time until I came to the conclusion that what good was it doing me to just keep my thoughts of encouragement merely to myself when, day in and day I run across someone who a simply “hello how are you?” goes a long way.

I don’t have a long summarization as to why I chose to do what I’m doing just hoping that it may help someone in need.
