Direction to follow it.

ZERO tolerance for violence and abuse

(¯`✻´¯)
`*.¸.*✻ღϠ₡ღ¸.✻´´¯`✻.¸ღ *✻ღ *✻ღ❤
╭✿╯ Personally, I'm not a 'black & white" pic fan (reminds me of black & white tv days). I’m a colour pic fan, but I'm doing this for a cause and was nominated by my dear friend, Patrizia. Challenge accepted. 

[This black and white pic is not to highlight any group, whatsoever, but to move the emphasis from me to the message attached. The original focus was on domestic violence, but I've centred it around global violence and abuse, which is prevalent now. ]

The meaning behind the black and white posts is to empower each other but more importantly, to show support to those who are affected by abuse and violence all over the world. For them, lockdown, I imagine, would be most terrifying.

Abuse and violence in any way, shape or form are not acceptable. Instead of asking, "How can individuals abuse others?" let's rather ask, "How can there be so many good people out there who do nothing about it?" It's not the bruises on the body that hurt, but the scars on the heart and mind. ❤

There's one universal truth applicable to all countries, cultures and communities; violence and abuse are never acceptable, never excusable and never tolerable.

There is no greater inhumanity in this world than to deliberately hurt others. Nothing and no one is weaker and smaller or more minuscule than those who intentionally hurt or cause pain to others or who revel in the hardships of others.

Let's stand up and be counted as those who have ZERO tolerance for violence and abuse of any kind. I think of the violent and chaotic state of affairs in the US as well, during this COVID phase at present. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Stay safe, healthy & blessed. ❤

Those make-up moments

╭✿╯ Having a play with beauty products. And no, I don't put on lots of make-up. I prefer the natural look. :) Small doses is fine by me and for special occasions. I also had my dear friend, Snezzy apply my make-up on one of the occasions. We had a blast!!! Facebook brought this up in my memories.

God's perfect timing

(¯`✻´¯)

`*.¸.*✻ღϠ₡ღ¸.✻´´¯`✻ <3
╭✿╯All things happen in God's perfect time.
When it's not in God's time you can't force it.
When it's in God's time you can't stop it.
Learn to WAIT on God's TIMING.
Sometimes His answer is a desired YES.
Sometimes it's a merciful NO.
Sometimes it's a faith-building NOT YET.
Sometimes, when the answer can't be found, it's a simple TRUST ME!
Don't run AHEAD of God!
Don't mistake God's PATIENCE for His ABSENCE!
God's timing is everything.
If it's meant to happen, IT WILL - at the RIGHT time and for the RIGHT reasons.
If it's not meant to happen, then TRUST that God has something BETTER for your life. <3

The bottom line is to pray

(¯`✻´¯)
`*.¸.*✻ღϠ₡ღ¸.✻´´¯`✻ <3
╭✿╯The bottom line is to pray...
"If you're tired, sick, emotionally overwhelmed—pray.
If you're on cloud nine and life seems perfect—pray.
If you lack direction—pray.
If you doubt that prayer makes any difference-pray.
If your circumstances are out of your control—pray.
If your circumstances are well within your control—pray
Whatever you do—pray.”

PRAYER is man's greatest POWER!

The moment you pray, the TIDE of the BATTLE TURNS!

The more you pray the more IRREGULAR things will happen REGULARLY!!! <3

╭✿╯Poem 1: Love ~ By Liesel Kippen

I submitted one poem to Literature Publishers in London. They wanted 5 more poems because they prefer a collection of poems. I've decided to write 10 in total. I like rounding off to the nearest 10, what can I say. :) (The Maths in me. :) ) I've completed 7 over the weekend, with 3 more to go. This poem was one of the seven completed. I wrote this one an hour ago. I have n't edited it yet, but will do so shortly. I see 3 mistakes already. Grrrr....

I must admit, I was n't sure if Christian Literature would be accepted, especially with the sick state of affairs that the world is in, but God is faithful. He's opened this door and He reigns supreme. I'm so in awe of Him, you have no idea! <3

╭✿╯Poem: We Rise ~ By Liesel Kippen

My poem below, which a Tennessee Music Company will use as lyrics, to put into a song. 

I love Tennessee & would luuuuv to visit it one day (after COVID!) - It reminds me of childhood memories, listening to Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Elvis Presley, Jim Reeves, Don Williams and other Country & Western singers... my absolute faves. Our family loves them all! One day I hope to meet Dolly...I doubt I ever will, though. We can hope and dream.
