Sometimes we may lose sight of whose we are? Our Purpose? Our journey? This forum is a gentle reminder in bringing light back into the dark places of your life.
Let Go and Let God
Proverbs 3: 5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Faith, Hope, and Love
1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain; faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
A Season for Everything
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to uproot. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build. A time to weep and a time laugh. A time to mourn and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them. A time to embrace and a time a refrain. A time to search and a time to give up. A time to keep and a time to give up. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be silent and a time to speak. A time for love and a time for hate. A time for war and a time for peace.
ā About me
Hi, Iām Keisha Teixeira
Before I was a daughter, I was first a child of God. Before I became a wife, I was first a child of God. Before I became a mother, I AM a child of God. Before life here on earth I lived in my Father's hands. Before the pain, God was there. During the pain, God was even more present. After the pain, God IS here.
I am a survivor of life for that I give God the Glory, Honor, and Praise.
Nothing else before the knowledge of God and after the knowledge of God is relevant except God. Sometimes we as humans get fixated on titles. status, and positions. I don't want to focus on my earthly possessions in life as they will past. I want to speak of the Holy Spirit that dwells within me and invite my readers to nurture the Spirit of God that dwells within each of you.
It All Begins With ME
When you look in the mirror what do you see?
I see a reflection of you in ME.
Someone looking for love and acceptance.
Someone looking for peace and remembrance.
Someone looking for perfection within our imperfections.
Someone accepting of all our flaws and defections.
Through all the heartaches and pains.
Throughout all the hills, mountains, valleys, and terrains.
God has ALWAYS been with me, you, and us.
No need to find a solution in living; there is no need to fuss.
So stop trying to correct the potter's clay.
As only He knows the purpose. Only He knows the way.
So let's start anew; let's release the past in order to finally be free.
Let's treat each other with love as this thing call life begins with you and MOST CERTAINLY BEGINS WITH ME.
Success Stories
Help to be of encouragement to someone else and share your life's journey. Sometimes we think that our past is too dark, too embarassing, or too bad to share as we may face ridicule which is so far from the truth. When you speak your truth and share your mistakes/pain/losses, you help to encourage others from traveling the same wrong path(s). Ultimately by sharing you end up saving yourself from yourself.
