Hello Role Player...

The best way to give up choice is thinking you don't have it. The best way to give up your power is thinking you don't have it. 

 Sadly,
most of us take on roles that end up controlling our lives and we keep complaining that life is hard, painful and any other negative term we use often. We subscribe to a script whose writer is not ourselves or better so, God, and so we hate every dance on life's floor. To make it worse, we avoid dealing with this by settling on the words, 'This is how life is...'
But is this really how life was meant to be lived...
Verse 1

Get it right every day
Do it perfectly and they will love me
They will want me back
If I make no mistakes
A performer that's perfect for the crowd
You'll be proud of me, right?


Verse 2

Cue the lights center stage
It's the moment they will see me
They will want me back
Every word that I say
Every note must be just right for the crowd
You'll be proud of me, right?


Someone will say, but 'I have to... Else...' which I understand. However, this is a road that needs a great amount of courage. Letting go of cumulative beliefs and following a path selected by few. And when it comes to God...

"You don't need a stage to love me
No matter the place Your heart will be true
And when I'm afraid that I am not good enough
And I don't know what to do
Truth is...
I don't have to perform for You"

I now believe that this is the reason enough to let go of every other role on a platform we feel stuck on.

But how do I tell I am role-playing?
One, you would not choose your life if you felt free. Two, you'd rather be or do something else at any given part of your day.

Freedom is not something we wait for, the right freedom is something we already are. We just take too long to realize it.
The next time you catch yourself role-playing ask yourself these three questions:

  • Whose script I'm I following?
  • Is it entirely true?
  • What would I rather be doing or who would I rather be?

    That's deep.

    Thanks for this Vicky.

ABIDE WITH ME

Photo from youtube.com This post is not for one who got it under control. This post is not for you who thinks you have to do a number of things to get God's attention. This post is not for one who already has a list of this years resolution and is willing to make everything work. This one today is for you who only knows that God is with you and that is all that matters. One who is aware of the new year but still has a junk of the previous years trying to weigh them down.

YOU NEVER LEAVE ME

Umeahidi ewe Bwana huniachi (You have promised oh Lord that you never leave me) Hadi mwisho wa dahari ulisema huniachi (To the end of ages you said, you will not leave me) Wewe ni Mungu uliye mwaminifu siku zote (You always a faithful God) Mimi ninaiweka Imani yangu kwako Bwana (I put my faith on you Lord) Today I just sat down and remembered the faithfulness of the Lord. These are the wings I needed to soar with in this new month.

PEOPLE

We all care. Most of us like to say we do not really care what anyone thinks about us but truth is that deep down we really do. It's just that some of us have slowly been sucked into approval addiction while some have gradually realized that it really shouldn't matter that much so we try not to let others' opinions sway us. All the same, even those of us who claim not to care actually want everyone to believe that we are unmoved by their opinions so really, it's a big deal. 123rf.com They are the best and the worst you've created Loving and hating and opinionated Loners in basements and those congregated Deliver me... Far from the peace, from ashore I was sinking Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking Don't know what  validation I was seeking Deliver me from... I believe there's nothing wrong with caring about opinions. Because sometimes we're able to change our lives' direction for the better because we listened t

REMEMBER

Sometimes things go dark. So dark that life ceases to make sense... Sometimes things go wrong and just when we think they can't get any worse they actually do... Sometimes we get weak...or as we like to say, life happens. This song, I believe, is for those times when life happens. Because those are the times we are prone to forget the truth we very much proclaim to know. Those  are the times we question our faith in God, we question His love for us, we question the very Words we so clearly heard Him speak to us. This song is a reminder to never forget in the darkness what we know to be true in the light. Cheta, Cheta (remember, remember)

OF HONEST PRAYERS...

We've heard it said countless times that when it comes to talking to God, there's no sort of perfect way to it. What matters most is the state of our hearts.  A broken and contrite heart- these, He will not despise. A good number of people say music gets them through pretty much everything. The truth is that music is powerful. However there have been times in my life when nothing made sense. When I say nothing I mean even the songs that would normally be very helpful were simply just nicely arranged words with a melody. I would be in so much turmoil that I’d think of the times when one song or the other lifted my spirit and wonder what changed. Saviour please, take my hand
