Defining Moments

When you have two creative beings in your life this is what happens. So grateful for my daughters. They make me laugh, cry, think, dream again, and simply be me. I am so thankful for them both and give God thanks for placing them in my life. I get to serve them and it's an honour and humbling journey to be called daddy. Love you both @jazminabigailp and @jadepeart8 #1T518 #fathersday #thankful https://www.instagram.com/p/CQYZfNHhoGA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nature takes the time to paint a picture in everything it touches. What do you take the time to do? The team at #ReleasedExpressions takes the time to craft words to #InspiringChange, #connectingperspectives , and #sharingstories @releasedexpressions https://www.instagram.com/p/CPv7o-ih58r/?utm_medium=tumblr

There is so much power in our words. Now when I say or in the case write words, it also includes those words we say to ourselves without serializing them. What words are you telling yourself right now? Here are two to start off with. Grab a pen and paper and write "I will" 21 times. Then as you go through your day state one thing next to the "I will". Here's an example, " I will no longer complain"; "I will give thanks in everything". Those two are becoming a personal foundation. Feel free to write your own "I will" statement below. "I will encourage someone today". #startwithaword #startingoverisnotimpossible #SpeakLife #InspiringChange #connectingperspectives #sharingstories #ReleasedExpressions #1T518 #iamthankful https://www.instagram.com/p/CPs714qBh24/?utm_medium=tumblr

Your dream is your dream and belongs to no one else. It was given to you to bless another person. There was a young man that had a dream. He shared it with his family and they despised him. There were many obstacles that kept coming at him to distract him from his dream. He however remained faithful to God and God remained true to His word. That young man realized his dream, saved his family from hunger and poverty. In fact, his dream brought him into the second highest of leadership. #SpeakLife #InspiringChange #connectingperspectives #sharingstories #releasedexpressions #startingoverisnotimpossible #startwithaword https://www.instagram.com/p/CPdQQ3vheXJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

There was a time in my life when all I had was a paper and a pen. At first I didn't know what to do with either. Then I realized that I had one more thing. My voice might have been silenced but my thoughts were not. Are you wondering what you've got? It just might be right in front of you. Don't neglect the gifts that have been given to you. I started with three things and created four. You can start with one and offer more. Do you ever put yourself down or consider to throw in the towel. You are you and you have something to offer to this world. I firmly believe that and I just wanted to let you know that you can. #InspiringChange #connectingperspectives #sharingstories #ReleasedExpressions #SpeakLife #startwithaword #startingoverisnotimpossible #mentalhealthishealth #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #believe https://www.instagram.com/p/CPautrzBxPT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Give Thanks If you are reading this, you have something to be grateful for. Here's one to start, you have eyes and you can see. Don't stop there, you are able to read. Keep going, your brain is able to process what you just read. Don't stop there, you are smiling. Want another? You were able to scroll to this point? Okay, you get the picture, and your attention span is whining so you are about to scroll on. Before you do that, ask yourself the question and stop, breath and give thanks. After all, you can breath on your own. When you are done, call someone and tell them how much they mean to you. Okay, I am done. I have a few calls to make. You might be one. Have a bless day and never forget to give thanks. #InspiringChange #connectingperspectives #sharingstories #ReleasedExpressions #givethanks #iamthankful #1T518 https://www.instagram.com/p/CPY4Qm6hiog/?utm_medium=tumblr

Life has a way of throwing curve balls at us. Distractions, deception, destructive speech, devious behaviour and the such. There is this one thing that stands secure. An act that we seem only to call on in times of disaster. Yes, prayer. Father, I am so thankful for today and for your hand upon my life, working in and through me. Forgive me Father of my sins. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. Guide my steps, prepare my thoughts, renew my joy and fill my heart with thanksgiving. Above all else, help me to be thankful even as I remain watchful in prayer. In Jesus your son I pray. #1T518 #InspiringChange #connectingperspectives #sharingstories #ReleasedExpressions #startwithaword #c42 https://www.instagram.com/p/COu46lHBphs/?igshid=yp3bi3azxmr6

Every waking moment When I open my eyes I see Your blessing And shout aloud, praises That also awaken my spirit And fill my heart with a song. Taste and see that the Lord is good. #magnifythelord #psalm34 #InspiringChange #connectingperspectives #sharingstories #ReleasedExpressions #startwithaword #singasong #1T518 https://www.instagram.com/p/CN2OmVNh1lH/?igshid=p8mphwa822vb

And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3:14 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

Every one needs someone that would simply listen to them. There is one such. He totally understands. All you have to do is tell him what's on your heart. #jesuslovesyou #jesusknows #jesuscares #jesusunderstands #thereisnofearinlove #SpeakLife #startwithaword #startingoverisnotimpossible #definingmoments #ReleasedExpressions https://www.instagram.com/p/CNSRykEBhK5/?igshid=at3cwv6469y6
