Road least traveled

Which Road Not Taken?

I recently read an account of a girls’ high school graduation ceremony. The writer described the collective sigh of resignation that whispered through the assembled relatives and friends as one of the graduate-speakers began by reciting Robert Frost’s classic poem, “The Road Not Taken.” The captive audience seemed to anticipate a predictable excursion along the overly well-trodden road of invoking Frost’s verse as a paean to individuality and non-conformism.

Instead, the writer was pleasantly surprised. Departing from the expected formula, the young speaker argued with Frost’s message by defending those with the courage to walk the well-traveled road of tradition in the face of social pressure to reject establishment and convention. It is indeed refreshing to hear the voice of youth, albeit second hand, recognizing the fallacy of a new conformism that preaches non-conformity — or, even worse, anti-conformity.

However, in my days as a student of literature at the University of California, I learned that Robert Frost is among the most famously misunderstood of poets. The attentive reader discovers that it was never Frost’s style to merely paint landscapes out of words or to render such trite messages as “favor the road less-traveled.” Frost had a sharp, unforgiving eye that focused not on the beauties of nature but upon man’s frequent failure to recognize his own place in the natural world.

And so “The Road Not Taken,” like so many of Frost’s poems, ripples with subtle but troubling inconsistencies.

Point is truth

I see lots of comments from many going through various trials and tough times and the unpleasantness of them. Question for the believer: 10 minutes after this natural life ends, how much will it matter? In the meantime, it's not the CIRCUMSTANCES you need to dwell on but rather what God is trying to accomplish IN THEM, for THAT'S what lasts forever. Romans 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Some need to hear this comment about that particular passage too: It's PERIOD, end of story...ALL THINGS.

  Paul also said "how could we possibly understand the price of what Christ has paid unless we also experience the pain ,rejection,hurt,abandonment,abuse,false accusations, etc.." Jesu's said to desciples the blessed are those who mourned for they should be confirted,blessed is those who are meek, they shall inherit the earth, amplified said "REGARDLESS OF OUTWARD CIRCUMSTANCES " IT'S been my experience that God does great work in the hardest times that I am in, He does the truest of work in me personally. I'm surprised by those who claim to have a personal relationship with our creator, but never go through anything that makes them hit their knees and take along look at the inside of themselves, the motives,unbaleif,selfish,intiltelment,character defects, He does most of any transformation in the midst of the storm...Grace be with you www.covenantconnection@blogspot.com

LEADERSHIP

Character seen in great leadership is not to sujest always being rt but rather acknowledge areas of need, with solution. "All life is problem solving.” I’ve often contended that the best leaders are the best problem solvers. They have the patience to step back and see the problem at-hand through broadened observation; circular vision. They see around, beneath and beyond the problem itself. They see well-beyond the obvious. The most effective leaders approach problems through a lens of opportunity."
What is so directly stated is so true, this is why it is character,  we recognize leadership in all aspects of our lives. More and to the point, we will value the leader who is not afraid to try new strategic planning, at the same time understands that his new way is not for everyone on the team , until it has been proven to work, once it's proven to work, those who trust you will follow you, and those who dont,  if their way is proven to be successful why change just because you have. It's all perspective. Defeated and critical mindsets, are both toxic for self and for those you lead, encourage yourself, don't be critical,harsh,doomsday, temper tantrum, angry , and don't take yourself so seriously, it's not all about you anyway, solution shake it off, find area of growth in every failed opportunity.

Sometimes I Cry Lyric Video

1 year ago today, may each moment prepare us for the next

We have to be able to hear and listen, we do not judge others, but we are responsible to seeing the fruit of the behavior. Being able to discern the difference between a confidant, comrad, colleague, concealer, teacher, and finally the personal gifts do are to
 complement each other, or are we happy when the other person has great thing s going for them, or do we get jealous the key is listening to our maker, and realizing if someone you had poured all your gifts into, leaves you empty of all fruit, it's because the seasons are changing, and we l are to gather all that pertains to edification, encouraging, and lifting one another up through any trial or fire , or coming into agreement for each. Being better today than yesterday. ..covenant connections bring gifts to the relationship, that each can glean from. , and every relationship is in a different season emotional, spiritual growth, also the comrad are like iron sharpening iron, you give little personal, and receive the willingness to learn from someone who is different than you, but still firight the good fight.of, faith
Promises
 found in Matthew 5 Please note the amplified version says REGARDLESS OF OUTWARD CIRCUMSTANCES!

 2. (Jesus)And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [1] of God.

10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.



BLESS (AFFECTIONATELY, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name! Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits--Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases, Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy; Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle's [strong, overcoming, soaring]! - Psalm 103:1-5 AMP

part 2 comment on dear diary

+David Brown I care for you, you are loved, just because you are adopted and don't want to believe in your Father does not+66mean Your Father does not believe in you. Why did you mention the Bible I wonder? I have not, the word becomes flesh. you did not mention Sci fi  but then claim science is real, you do not understand of the things in which I speak, ohhhh yes this is a seed another will come to water, but only God will bring a harvest.  who cares? I care, you obviously care, or why then did you get so defencive do you think? I meet with Him daily to have the courage to get through this day, and Grace to move in direction he has planned, you have been grafted in, you will know the truth and it will set you free, the voice of reason will lie , however truth will never fail, it is the word spoken that has creative power out of the heart a mouth speaks, manifestation of spoken word is what spoken will come reality. Ask your self were u created to argue for a group. you have yet shared in, or for a community, and why do u have that tough anointing,  the answer friend is so you can stand for something and it may be the tough crowd that He is training you up to reach.  Remember what we do not like about ourselves is the thing God uses to be our purposed gift that helps others into a place of love,peace,hope,and a future.

This song is dedicated to all our beautiful children who think things are hopeless right now, but Time is proven to take our test and make a testimony, our pain and ashes turn into beauty, torment into triumph, please listen its more than just one subject, it's all for our girls and boys who think they have no one to say they are worth it..let me know, or cry out ,,,i did, I would also like to address self harm, cyber abuse, girls feeling sexual harrasment, mean girls setting up other ones to feel rejected by original friends, weather the person is the target
 Or the arrow, that person deserves love, both are the extremes of pain, it's time to address real issues rather than shining old masks and putting them on as a armor for a journey that's to painful and heavy to carry alone ,,let's stand o. The real issues so our kids will grow up stronger and not  victimcs, compassionate, withough controlling, empathy without ignorance, most of all courage to not keep secrets, ,those secrets are the root to all behaviors that are just but a symptom
To our own truth. After reading this, hearing the song, I know in my heart that there will be a shift, a reneWed mindset, everyday when I GET TO WAKE Up is the perfeCT chance to be real. And qtake off thhe comfort of my masks, to reright this part, reveal all the today moments that I did not act victimized but have bloomed victoriouse. 

COURAGE TO NOT WONDER WHAT PEOPLE WILL SAY, STRENGTH TO Endure

And healing comes with reLizing ,
You are more qpth Ave N.

If you can find it, you will know it's true

THE WORD
Covers everything nothing missing nothing broken...

By pride comes nothing but strife,
But with the well-advised is wisdom.

11 Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished,
But he who gathers by labor will increase.

12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

13 He who despises the word will be destroyed,
But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.

14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from the snares of death.

15 Good understanding gains favor,
But the way of the unfaithful is hard.
16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge,
But a fool lays open his folly.

17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
But a faithful ambassador brings health.

18 Poverty and shame will come to him who disdains correction,
But he who regards a rebuke will be honored.

19 A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul,
But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.

20 He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.

21 Evil pursues sinners,
But to the righteous, good shall be repaid.

22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.

23 Much food is in the fallow ground of the poor,
And for lack of justice there is waste.[a]

24 He who spares his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

²⁵ The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul,
But the stomach of the wicked shall be in want.
