Want a brighter future?
Life as we know it, is all an illusion. What you do, think, eat, dream about and see on an everyday basis is what makes up the world as you see it. The power of thought evolves into the imagination, this cultivating creation. You want a brighter future? You better turn on the light. Your light. From within.
YOU, My Friend, are Priceless
Take the time to think about what holds real value. What you did not have to work for but was given to you, to keep, to make the biggest impact, in your time here, possible.
Simple; LOVE YOURSELF FOR WHO YOU ARE!
No one's opinion besides your own should go greater than the opinion of your creator, whom is God and he says you are fine the way you are, hence why you are who you are.

ILLDRM© Sunday Good Word: Present Suffering and Future Glory
"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified."

ILLDRM© Saturday Shout Out: 'In Retrospect' by Sherika
"In life people come and go, but sometimes the things that matters most are the not things at all. Everything about life has to do with people, situations, and various reasons of the why’s and why nots. The purpose of these issues is what’s at stake, whether they are people, situations, etc…. Sometimes in life we have to understand that we cannot depend on others to share our joys, visions, interpretations, etc… about life. When at the moment, there are no sometimes and what we have are the moments. They help us grow, prosper, but most importantly expand. Expand on the knowledge that others constantly and consistently take for granted. Now, I am human, but what does that mean to be human. A shell with a lot of organs and tissues, combined with thoughts that evoke the person I am supposed to become? Evoked by the individuality that we have and constantly challenge the dreams and mindset that others have. SO yes, I am human. I am a person who has become human, but more importantly become who I need to be. Practice what you preach and explore what you know yet understand the things that we value most aren’t things at all. I still struggle, I still need, I still want, I still grow. Into a flower that I often lose on the account of things that people normally take for granted. But what is it that I really want. What is it that we all search for in a sense? Is it love? Yes it’s love. We all want to feel something that we cannot control, yet so powerful that we can’t reach. Something that can’t be touched, seen, heard, smelled, even thought about. Or is it? Is it physical? Can we tremendously take something so evident and mix it into a blender to manifest into something magnificent. Well I think we can. I think we can do it if we all try to be this evident with our work."
Symbolically Yours,
Sherika
