Month: June 2025

I was listening to to this song, by Fun, it’s called Carry On, Carry On. I thought about the lyrics and it was a reflection of my life and maybe yours and others too. We all go through those challenging times in life. When we think we are alone and sinking like a stone in the bottomless pit of despair we must carry on.

If you know what I’m talking about you have gone through some serious challenges in your life. I think I have had more than my fair share of setbacks and disappointments. And in those moments of  reflection the thoughts that creep in telling us, “Hey, I want to quit! I’m tired of all this crap in my life.”

But there isn’t an easy “door” in life that we can walk out of. Sometimes we think of giving up entirely, but that doesn’t do anything but give the victory to our enemies. We must carry on!

I have gone through over 40 years of walking in the desert of hurt, loneliness, stress and despair. Someone in my life, betrayed me, kept holding me down, sabotaging my finances, plans, anything they could and did some  things that were unquestionably wicked and evil, detrimental to my life. Sometimes it can’t be understood why people do the things that they do, especially empaths we are always giving people the benefit of the doubt, even to our own hurt. But you still must carry on.

What hurts us the most is the shame, embarrassment and humiliation that come with the feeling of being discarded in life. Especially, if we are spurned by someone close to us. But that is just what the devil wants you to accept so you won’t try to get back up. You will lock yourself up in a dark world without bars. Chaining yourself to your past and the memories that hold you back. Its time to get out of you prison shackles of shame and humiliation even anger and rage. It’s time to break free of those shackles. Carry on, carry on.

Well, I will leave you with what God told me, “leave your past behind, don’t wallow in your sorrows and carry on, carry on.” That’s where I got the song from.

I pray that you will stand up to the wiles of the enemy who is trying to hold you down and hold you back from doing great things. I pray that God will strengthen you and give you the wherewithal to stand up to your past and look it in the face and say

“You will not hold me back.”

Every chain—broken.

Every burden—lifted.

You were meant to fly again.

 I won’t let you hold me down.  I pray that every chain will be broken and you will fly again. Rise up! Carry on, Carry On.

Love you all, Be blessed!

Feeling hurt and alone is one of the hardest places to be in life. But even in that pain, you must carry on.

People can be deeply hurtful—especially when it comes from someone you gave your whole heart to. Maybe you thought the relationship was mutual, only to realize they didn’t share the same level of commitment that you had.  They were already looking for other relationships without being honest to you. That kind of betrayal can shake you to your core.

So what do you do when you’re hurt and alone? Start by forgiving yourself.

So many people turn the pain inward, thinking, What did I do wrong? They feel unworthy or blame themselves for the breakup or betrayal. But in most cases, you didn’t do anything wrong. You loved, you hoped, and you gave your heart. That’s not a weakness—that’s courage.

Now it’s time to heal. To give yourself the same grace and love you offered to someone else.

Begin to accept who you are with unconditional love.

It won’t happen overnight. The hurt may feel unbearable at first, but over time, it gets lighter. The key is to gently take your mind off the pain and begin to redirect it toward hope.

There is life after heartbreak. I’ve lived through the devastation of being told by someone I loved that they found someone else—and were going to marry them. It crushed me. I had invested everything—my heart, my hope, my future.

Looking back, I realize now that it was emotionally unhealthy to do this: I was trying to fill a void only God could fill. I should have cultivated a deep relationship with Him first.

You are not alone. God is with you.

You are worthy of love—real, lasting love. Don’t make a decision you’ll regret in a moment of deep pain. The enemy whispers that you won’t make it, but that’s a lie. When the pain feels too much to bear, step back and lean into the peace only God can give. God wants you to know that you are worthy of being loved.

Open your Bible. Talk with Him. Meditate on His promises. Your spirit needs healing—and that healing comes through connection with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Don’t rush into another relationship to numb the pain.

It might distract you temporarily, but it won’t heal you. More often, it leads to another cycle of heartbreak. Let God restore you first. People often do things because the hurt may seem so debilitating that you think you can’t get over the pain. When this happens step back from the hurt and find your peace in God.

Your spirit needs consoling and connection to God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is truly the way to overcome the hurt and the pain. Don’t try to come back from hurt by quickly getting into another relationship. That doesn’t work, it may take your mind off of your pain but it isn’t the solution. You may find yourself in just another hurtful situation

Carry on. Your story isn’t over.
