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
The quitter mentality is becoming a hindrance in our society. For many people quitting at the first sign of trouble has become the norm. But we only discover the breath of adversity and the fortitude found in triumph when we push forward without ceasing. Every fruit producing plant once started as a seed in need of water and fertile ground. It is the job of the dreamer to base their aspirations in reality by working towards their goals. Keep standing, working and speaking things as though they were.
God has created a plan and a purpose for each and everyone of us. Whether or not we choose to pursue that path is our choice. On many occasions, since I graduated college I have found myself in need of guidance, direction and support. I am thankful to say that God has supplied all those needs. He is truly a friend indeed and for His mercy and support I am forever grateful. I have a corny yet insightful saying that has encouraged my spirit along the way:
Don't give up, don't give in. You were made to preserve. You were birthed to win. The Holy Spirit is your comforter and Jesus is your friend.
Many of us have faced rejection of some sort and these feelings are stirred up when we pursue our goals and the desired outcome isn't immediate gratification. The desire to quit when we fall down is continuous. But if we don't get up the struggle will continue endlessly. Because we live with the regret of what if. What if I tried?
To hold on is difficult but to let go satisfies the fear of failure. So it is important to remember that according to 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. With that being said, have faith and let go of any fear that may hinder you from achieving great things. Your blessing is right around the corner. But you must have faith in order to know it's there waiting on you to believe it. In times like these, God gives us the power of hope. Keep pushing forward.
Love always, Esha <3
Listen to the reading of this piece on the podcast Hope Speaks
We're just now seeing the ball of glowing fire
The red light is bright but nothing like fluorescence.
It stings the eyes, it lights up the world,
It electrifies the soul, it burns out of control.
The shinning rays touching cold skin gives the weary
A renewed reason to hope.
And that’s why we stand at the cusp of a new day.
Love always, Esha

Cherish your loved ones while you can
Kiss their rosey checks
Hold their precious hand
Speak uplifting words in the hour tribulation
Pray with them
Let them know that you can sympathize
Show a warmth to express
That you understand
When the wind beats at their worn door
Stand beside them as a friend
The things that we forget we did
Mean something in the end
So cherish your loved ones while you can
Give them wild flowers
And provide them with hope
That a tired heart can comprehend
Because no one wants to be alone
When the hard days come
The good time Sally and John are cool
Until the lightening strikes
It’s those moments when you want a caring soul to check on you
And make sure you’re alright
Love always, Esha

Why is it so hard to say, I love you?
No matter the things we go through...
I still care.
And when you need a friend to be around.
I will do my best to be there.
No matter the cost.
I'll pay your fare.
Us together is the good time that keeps on giving.
The laugh that should've stopped but keeps on going.
Eyes slanted with tears of laughter and the grin of white teeth showing.
Gut busting, knee slapping chuckles ensue.
There is something awesome about being next to you.
Our moments make life a little sweeter.
No matter what kind of day I'm having...
Be like the flowers. The lilies of the field do not want for sun. Neither do they cry out for rain. Bending and swaying without the request of a cool breeze. Existing without bills. Doing as they please. They are taken care of. Be like the lilies that live with ease.
Love always, Esha <3
