"...for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again..."
Prov 24:16
It's a brand new morning, the sun is rising, the birds are chirping and even the kids are awake, running around the house and giggling but you don't want to get out of bed. So much is going on around yet for you it seems life has stopped moving. No motivation! No excitement! No connection in your relationships currently Possibly no money and worse still not even sure where the next is coming from! You wish everyone and everything should stop, at least pause for you to take and deep breath and also see you and what you're currently going through.

You wish everyone and everything should stop, at least pause for you to take and deep breath and also see you and what you're currently going through.
You're not alone. We all go through those moments when it seems life has simply come to an almost complete stop because the only thing that seems to be going on in those moments is that one is still breathing. Here I was morning after morning I'd wake up but felt so heavy in my heart. I could smile yet unhappy within BUT here I am today sooooo much happier! You know why?
I'll tell you! I decided to KEEP WALKING. I figured out the fact that life waits for no one. Dead or alive, life keeps moving. I figured that am either plugged in or even the people closest to me would say (non-verbally though) 'NEXT' and keep moving without me as though one doesn't matter. I figured that in a sense we don't matter as much in the sense we expect, to the people we think we matter to. We matter of course! They certainly love you BUT they've got a life to live and if you're 'dulling' they'll check on you once in a while but their lives won't stop because yours did. You'd become an item on their schedule or their 'To Do List'. I figured you don't determine where you are on other people's priority list. You can only be a 100% sure of being #1 on your Priority List.
So here's my encouragement for you today, no matter the matter, no matter what you go through in this life Be Encouraged and whatever you do KEEP WALKING.
Keep Walking
You might be slow but you'd be closer to your goal every little step you take.

Feed your Soul
If you need to, drag yourself out of bed! Look for soul-stirring music or a motivational audio CD and put it on repeat. If you're an ardent reader, pick up something that you'd enjoy and will lift you up. I'd recommend your Bible. Reading it has an amazing way of strengthening.

Lift up Someone else
It's an awesome and eternal principle to live in that place where you can give joy and succour to someone else even though you are still on the lookout for your own miracle. It's such an unexplainable miracle so find someone to lift up even though it seems your life has been knocked down.
