I Rise

Out of the pain and sorrow… “I Rise”
Out of hopelessness and despair …. “I Rise.”
Out of disappointment and betrayal… “I Rise.”

I rise because the spark of The Divine in me is invincible.
I rise because I am a spark of The Divine in action, magnificent and free.
Free to become whatever my heart desires and I want to be.
I rise because I believe in the, I Am … in me.

Thank you God that you put the rise in me…
my gratitude is boundless, infinite and divinely blessed.
So, I rise to newer and better circumstances than ever before, regardless of the world’s view of the economy or me …
“I Rise… because I can.”
I am God’s Beloved and all I dream for me is mine
if I just rise to the occasion.

I plan my work and I work my plan.
I bend me knees and do the deeds; to rise to new heights and create opportunities because I live in the land of possibilities.
So, when I allow it to be… I am free to rise triumphantly!

But with a “New Year” looming I had to announce my intentions and thank the source of my breathing in and out for this new opportunity to be all I can be. How? I will “rise to the occasion” and make 2010 the best year of my life thus far… and so can you.

I hope you enjoy this one. I have. “May blessings abound for you always and in all ways today, tomorrow and forever.”
