On this episode, I will teach  about the power of the word, no.  No is frequently muddled with negativity when it’s actually a word of good character.  It allows us to set limits and gain strength. Often, we are afraid of what others may think of us, if we refuse their request. Yes is the answer given when we really want to say, no. We feel an obligation and forget about our own needs. When no is used it empowers and prioritizes self.  Bible Scriptures:  “A Person’s words can be life-giving water:  words of true wisdom are as refreshing as a bubbling brook.”  Proverbs 18:4“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men..” Colossians 3:23“Let what you say be simply “Yes or No” anything  more than this comes from evil.”  Matthew 5:37“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverb 15:1Please leave a rating or review.  Thank you. www.darlasimone.com

Welcome Back everyone!   I am dedicating this episode, The Lord is My Shepherd, to my beautiful mother, Lady Audrey.  I will share an audible dramatization of my intricate thoughts and the emotions, I experienced during my mom’s journey home to be with Jesus.  I have never before experienced grief in this capacity.  I still have have screaming outbreaks and break-downs. The whole ordeal was and is traumatic.   Grief is dark and the pain can be unbearable at times. The process is slow and lonely.  Nevertheless, God’s words are comforting and reassuring.   I wanted to share my experience while in the valley of the shadow of death with real people, like you, who may be  in the same situation.  Grief is painful, no one talks about it. It’s almost taboo. Many of us have lost loved ones during the past two-years and we need a place to express ourselves or at least know someone else is going through the same craziness.  The pain of losing my mom has altered something in me. Her departure is my constant daily thought.  It’s only been 7-months and I still anticipate her return.  Although, I believe God’s words and I know that she is alive on the other side, healed, happy, resting, and waiting for me to get there. I must go through the grief process in this dark valley of separation from the woman, I honored and treasured my whole life. However, I know God is with me.    I hope you fined contentment from this podcast dramatization and know that’s it’s okay to feel, and go through the crazy emotional journey.  Please leave a comment.  Follow me on Instagram, Facebook, or my website:  www.darlasimone.comThank you, Darla.
