Monday Motivation: Stay in your lane

blessed light

Sometimes, we’re comparing ourselves to others. We look at what other people are doing and start doing what they do. Problem with that is, everybody is doing something different so now you’re doing one thing, five different ways.

Just because other people are doing things, doesn’t mean those things are meant for you. People have things that you simply are not meant to have. People are in places where you are not meant to be. Maybe not now. Maybe never.

So, instead of worrying about where others are, focus on yourself. Stay in your lane, babe.

This is your path. Your future. As unique as everyone is, your path is not the same exact path as someone else’s. Understand this.

As long as you are doing what God tells you to do, there’s no reason why you should focus on others and what they are doing and where they are going.

Regular DALANEL Posting to Return

Hey,

Really quick, I just wanted to say that Monday Motivation, Tuesday Testimony, Wednesday Word, Thursday Thought, Fearless Friday, and The Daily Positive are returning this Monday.

I’ve been working hard on the Good Friday play at my church. Lighting. And it has been a very…stressful run so far. In fact, I’ve decided it’ll be my last production. Anything can happen, but it just…sigh…it’s a shame when things don’t work out.

I hope you’ve been enjoying the Bible Light series. I plan on doing other mini series here on DALANEL. It keeps the weekly posting fresh and keeps the blog active with new material.

With the play out of the way, I have energy to put back into this blog. I need a lighting break so bad. The service lighting launch and the play have really fried my circuits. I thought about stopping lighting altogether but the service lighting is too new and my team is not ready to be on their own so I have to keep pushing on.

Let’s not forget other stuff going on like work and school. Just a lot going on. In a drastic scenario, where lighting vs writing comes into play, lighting would lose very easily. As I’ve said plenty of times before, I would rather write a play before I light it.

Anyway, DALANEL is ready to make a comeback. I hope you missed me because I’m gonna be in your face.

But local beautician Katie Cutler heard about the cowardly attack and set up anonline appealto raise £500 to help the unfortunate Mr Barnes.

The Daily Positive: Girl Overcomes Physical Limitations

thPRXDQO0E

A 12 year old is living her life, despite this:

Kennedy was born with Goldenhar syndrome, a rare craniofacial disease in which facial features and the spine don’t form properly.

She has had 19 surgeries over the years and has dealt with multiple medical issues, including scoliosis and chronic sinus infections.

Now, while some girls (and guys) may find this to be devastating, she says “it’s awesome”. A primary focus was that our girl has a clip on ear.

“I’ve seen that it’s given her confidence,” Kennedy’s mother, Amy Hendershott, said of the ear. “I think it’s given her that little extra boost that she’s needed for middle school. She is confident enough whether she wears it or not. And she’s perfect whether she wears it or not.”

You’ll want to read the entire story. I’ll give you this last piece:

Kennedy’s family has preached all along a message of acceptance. We don’t all look the same. We don’t all sound the same. And that’s perfectly fine.

It sure is.

Tuesday Testimony: Jesus Protects Girl From Rape

This one has some grammar struggles, but you should still be able to get the gist. This will be worth your time.

Brother and sisters in Jesus Christ.
Let the love of Jesus Christ dwell with you forever in Jesus name. Amen

I would like to share a testimony as we know women are not safe in India but one thing which I personally experienced while on my way to Allahabad in train.  I was sitting on upper berth reading a book of Joyce Meyer then I a saw a family standing and arranging seats so that can sit there. One of them asked their daughter (might of 20years or more) to sit on my seat. I gave her place to sit and her parents sat on the next coach. A boy sitting next to my seat started staring her.

Next station a group of boys boarded the train they were also travelling to Allahabad, they to notice the girl and started staring at her. The girl felt uncomfortable so she hid her face under her lap. But the boys didn’t give up. Then suddenly one boy threw a piece of paper on her but she ignored it. I was feeling very uncomfortable and was very shocked to see this, I wanted to stop them by my strength but I was alone so could not help. I was praying to our lord Jesus that he should do something. Meanwhile I started reading bible so that the girl might ask me for the bible, but our god is an awesome god.

Later one of the boys came next to the girl and started staring at her very closely and then threw paper at her. The girl threw paper away and called her mother and asked if there are any seats next to theirs. But there were no seats so her parents request her to sit on my seat.
