You can feel the pressure but not succumb to the heat
Be hopeful and steadfast no matter what you see
Because the path is narrow
But that doesn't make it absent of debris
God can open doors no man can close
Because He has the key
Love always, Esha<3
I see it
In the curve of your eyes
A longing for a touch
Just the breath
The presence of God's love
It ushers you
To unknown paths
In search of a blessing
That no one can grab
It must be given, relinquished, bestowed
On willing, humble hands
Love always, Esha

Gloom is a shadow that thankful souls don’t need. Cast it aside like bad food. Don’t consume the sadness created by the few. Who seek ignorance and ignore the truth. Stand up against the rising feeling of anxiety. Do not eat of it’s fruit. It grows in the world like mold taking to old bread. Too far to be reversed to blackened to get ahead. Walk a different path instead. Go against the grain.
Love always, Esha

How many of you have played with a slinky? Whether it's a rainbow colored one or a solid color. We are amazed by the beauty of it when it stretches. When it bends down the stairs. Only to watch it shrink and return to it's original size.
That's the nature of the slinky to be more than what it appears. To go further than the inexperienced eye assumes it can go. I believe that is the nature of the human spirit when touched by the hand of God. We can surpass the limitations of the world. We can expand beyond what we ever knew we were capable of as a result of living in our true purpose.
But are we willing to be uncomfortable in order to grow? In order to persevere. Or do we fear the thought of breaking if we are stretched to far? I am here to tell you that you were not made to break. God will keep you as you work toward his purpose and design for your life.
I can speak from experience and say that God has placed things in my heart that I was scared to pursue. But now I am casting that spirit of fear down. Because it can only hinder my future and offset God's plan. It is written in Psalm 34:4, I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. Sometimes, it's easy to fear the unknown than to walk the path that we are called to take. But we must stand in our convictions and allow faith to push out the anxiety.
In truth, I question if I am making this post for you or if it's actually to encourage me. But it's my hope that Christ will bless all those who have endured these feelings. Because we believe that fear is necessary for our survival. But really it is an agent of disaster sent to strip us of the promise and gift of living a full and meaningful life.
I hope that this post is able to give insight and hope in a time of unexpected changes and challenges.
Love always, Esha
What is liberty?
Is it the ability to determine your future?
The right to make up your own mind
The leisure to make medical decisions free form coercion
Is it tied to selecting a career of your own choosing?
Does it lose validity if the path is picked for you?
Can freedom be limited by the venues you can or can't frequent?
Or is it inalienable rights passed down through citizenship?
What does liberty feel like?
Does it go on smooth like lotion
Or does it go down bitter like unsweetened poison?
When liberty is denied its existence becomes a notion
Love always, Esha <3
