Excerpt from 'The Human, Uncensored'
"Pain that gets buried and not dealt with appropriately can lead to self-destruction. You must address your pain in order to cope. Unaddressed pain, sadness or anger are sort of like weeds, if you don't tend to them, they start to take over. You can try and suppress them all you want, but what you suppress will progress. And into something far worse typically. So pleas know that it's okay to cry, and it's equally okay to be okay when you are okay. It's just about balance. Let yourself fully feel whatever emotion it is that you are feeling, for the sake of your heart. You're only human. And life is turbulent, but ever changing, as are we. And change, however drastic, and life-altering as it can be at times, can be a good thing, if we embrace it rather than running from it. I've seen some of the most beautiful souls emerge from from the deepest pain. So if you're out there right now, hurting.... you are NOT alone, and you ARE going to be alright. You just have to let yourself.... BE." - Brianna Colleen Carey © December 16, 2014 (Excerpt from 'The Human, Uncensored')

I wish that everyone would stop complaining. We're not entitled to ANYTHING in this life, okay.... Nothing; not respect, not equality, not fair treatment, None of it. Even if you are blessed to receive these great things from some, there will ALWAYS be some others who do not and will never give or show you these things.
Jesus told us, and also showed us in His life; that life on earth is Long-suffering, Slavery, Persecution, "They will hate you for they hated Me first, They will persecute you for they persecuted Me first...." and so on..... I dont know what "piece of cake", "smooth sailing" life ya'll are expecting but just get real and get over it. The Lord giveth and He taketh away, and not everything is going to be easy nor fair in life, learn to get a stronger back bone and just push forward through every trial. Dont let the world being unkind cause you to be unkind. If someone doesn't like you, move along, if you look around at the world, and see all the corruption and degradation taking place, it's natural to take notice but try not to expect it to change. Hope and Expectation are completely different. Hope is Christ-filled, rooted in Faith, and a firm belief in God's Favor, so, you can Hope for a better world, and be a part of the change that helps create it. Expectation, on the other hand, is often ego-fueled and rooted in the belief in man and we all KNOW man will always disappoint, so why hold such high expectations of human beings. This is a broken world full of broken people. The same broken people that Jesus came to save, and the same broken people that crucified Him instead of a murderer. And He was PERFECT, and without a single sin, and they spit on Him, whipped Him with hooks attached to the ends to rip out chunks of His flesh, they placed a crown of thorns that pierced His head deeply, and then proceeded to puncture His feet and hands with rusty nails. That's the same people that make up quite a bit of our world today. BROKEN SOULS. So, if you're out there in the world expecting a fair life, your fair share, take off your blinders and read the Word, because God already said that's not happening. When we see this world falling apart at the seams and witness the appearance of authority being corrupt, we ought not to be surprised by it. Biblically; there is no authority that will stand. No man that will reign in a New World Order, and No Kingdom except for the Kingdom of Christ shall survive Armageddon. So, stop placing your hope or rather expectation in this world. Until God comes again, respect the authority that has been put in place because that's what Jesus said to do in the meantime, and just keep being good even when others are bad to you, keep loving even when others hate you, keep being kind even when others are unkind to you. BE exactly what you'd like the world to be. There's this quote I love from Corrie ten Boom She says,
"If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. If you look at God you'll be at rest."
So, correct your sight, and stop looking to the world to somehow satisfy your need for everything to work as it should. That's just not happening on earth. Enjoy the blessings When they come, but don't miss the lessons when the blessings are nowhere to be found. Enjoy the recognition that you've done the right thing When you get it, but dont Require that you get recognition every time you do do good, if that is what you want then you are being good for all the wrong reasons. And enjoy the respect you receive When you receive it but dont assume that everyone will show it to you. Just be happy with whatever you get, because as the good ol' Rolling Stones once made famous in a song...
"You cant always get what you Want; but if you try sometimes, then you might find, You Get What You NEED!"
For my final thought; when you're thankful for whatever you get, you'll have everything you ever needed. Just look UP, instead of down at the madness and chaos. Dont let the world take your smile or make you bitter. Take heart in knowing your God endured WAAAAY more suffering than you will Ever have to, so when you look at your situation, is it really THAT bad? Is the world really that horrible, or do you just need to refocus your perspective, realign your view to God and readjust where your hope truly lies? Expectations are false hope that will leave you wanting more. And although life is long-suffering and everything else bad thar our God experienced; if you listened closely to His story it ends in Victory over all the bad, so let that be your strength and just endure your battles, your tests and whatever else you face because in the end, you are victorious!
One last note: "to Live is Christ, and to Die is gain." If that's the case, nothing anyone can do in this life will be able to to succeed in bringing you down because you live for Him, and even in death they can't succeed in taking you out because you then you gain personal access to Him, so just cheer up.
Everyting' gon' be alright.
And that's my rant for the night. Thanks for reading.
