“Never Give In” Blog #41
At the end of this day, as day gives way to night, we all have one thing in common.
No matter where we are, we can stop for a moment and go out into the darkness and
look up at the moon. The big, beautiful peacefilled moon. He’s waiting there for us.
One of the last things my daughter Bridget did was text me an uplifting message.
She had been driving in her car a couple weeks before she died.
”Mom, you have to go outside and look at the gorgeous full moon right now!”
This was a positive statement. I will stay with that and believe in Bridgets heart,
somewhere for a moment in time, she saw goodness. Yet in sadness I must recall,
the addictive darkness that she gave into won out.
I want to talk today about not giving in. We can’t ever give up or give in! My husband
and I watched a totally inspiring World War Two movie a few nights back. A powerful
movie showing the strong hold that Hitler had taken all over the world. He was gaining
speed, pushing his dangerous, dark beliefs, and bombing Britain. Yet, Winston Churchill,
on October 29, 1941 said this, “We will never give up, we will never surrender…never, ever
ever”! Remember this is one person making a decision for the whole country! What did
it take to inspire him to talk this way? Courage! Discipline! Self Worth!
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln., Mother Theresa, all of these people have made
such a difference in our world because “they knew who they were”.
My own self worth has come from these basic principles. Every day I do what is
expected of me. I try to do the things I like least, first. Inside me are spiritual tools I have
found to give me strength. I need each day.
I believe My Body is the Temple of God, so I live my life according to this belief. One of
our most famous football coaches down through history, was Vince Lombardi. He said
“Today is a New Day in your life, take nothing for granted and failure. is not an option”.
He and his team beat the New York Giants 37 - 0 and went on to win two Super Bowls
after that! WHAT DID HE BELIEVE IN?
HE SAID “LOOK AT THE BASICS IN YOUR LIFE, WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU?”
“SHOW UP. BE PRESENT. SAY YOU LOVE YOURSELF”. WATCH WHAT HAPPENS”.
I practice these basic daily disciplines to find my strength and this gives me courage
to deal with today. Thats all we have. These are my weapons for the harsh reality of life.
The quickest way to tap into YOU is just ask. I ask patiently in prayer, until I feel the
sensation of prevailing peace. Throughout my day I remind myself to say, “NOT my will,
but Thy will be done in my life today”. “Show me God, how strong I am, I thank you for
this”.
Marianne Williamson is a famous Author of many books. In one of them she quotes:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate! Our deepest fear is that we are
powerful beyond measure. It is our light and NOT our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves; Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually,
who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the
world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won’t feel
insecure around you. We are all meant to shine. We are born to make manifest the
Glory of God that is in all of us. It’s not just in some of us. It’s in everyone. AND as we let
our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As
we are liberated from fear, our presence automatically liberates others. What an
amazing piece of information. I hope you go back and read this again. This is a clear
path to your healthy future.
As this year winds to a close, what priorities sit upper most in our mind today? It’s
important to understand “How I look at my past situations as learned lessons and then
I let go. This gives us a. clean slate for a New Day. Unhealthy emotion arises in all of us
when we stay stuck in regret, uncomfortable judgment and/or seething in anger. By
paying attention to how I feel about things that have happened, I then can tap into my
“authentic self”. It was time for me to stop blaming others. At the end of the day,
“Others are only mirrors of ourselves”. This is the gift Jesus gives to you and I.
“He’s never gonna give you up, He’s never gonna let you go, never gonna tell you lies.
and hurt you. Most of all, he’s never gonna say good bye.
So sit tight — feel HIS safety net surround you, listen to these simple phrases tell it all.

a sacred time of year. Angels are around us, they walk among us and hear us. Ask for
help now. Feel their amazing, angelic, love energy support you. Trust this to be true.
