Finding A Voice

How do I make hopes and dreams come alive? I am lost in a sea of distraction.  I need a path lit for me.  How do I make my way through?  How do I do all I'm supposed to? I have all these hopes and a lot of things I want to do. To accomplish it all on my own is a task that seems so tough. Then I look inside my heart;  I need to write it all down, map out where I want to go seek out the different options and learn all there is to know.  I'm going to make people  see all I really could be and I'm going to start with a hope, a dream, a desire.... call it what you will I must act and bring my heart to the world.  Only with a plan in place will I be able to win the race and find my way,  I have to.... write it all down show others I have what it takes to make fantasy become reality.  Just watch me now, this is how to go and it begins by writing it down!  Devise a plan, map it step-by-step!  What is it going to take? Where ...

Goals, are but dreams with the precise path to accomplish the task. It is the objectives met that produce action behind the words! The great victory comes as we watch our hopes and dreams become a reality.  Goals, shape our walk they guide our intensity, they mark a path that defines us. What will you be known for?  One who is driven to see all his dreams come to fruition!

Goals are the lifeline that shape our destiny.  It is the purpose of our actions  and they are stepping stones to something better and brighter.  What do you want? What will you be?  Everything we do, has much more meaning than just in the moment.  The broad picture is why we act.   Why we seek change, why we hope for a better life than we have today! Goals, shape that change guide and frame our future! Ken Cheney 6/28

No it is time what side are you going to stand on? You must make a choice, no one can do it for you. Where you stand is where your heart lies. It's time to choose! The goal is there for all to see. Open up your eyes. Clear lines are drawn there is none who will escape the privilege of choice what do you want for the future and the past. Clear and defined ureter here or there! No one will be permitted to tread in the middle, choose and reap the reward of effort placed in belief, and decision none are helped with indecisive leaders. Stand and be counted!

There're many distractions all around me! I can go here or there. No one else would care. It is up to me to choose, the wonderful opportunity given me from above. He lets me learn for myself. If I ask he is there. If I am worthy and if I am listening. These distractions are for road that would waste my energy and leave me to distraction how important is it to seek peace! Seek wisdom from him who whispers to guide me home! --Ken Cheney

Moving forward and never looking back! What are you focused on?  What matters most?  What is the most import?  Are decisions made in haste?   Do you watch and wait how important it is to watch and wait!  Always be vigilant and seeking for the right.  Keep truth and freedom always in sight.  Then you'll be prepared for the challenges ahead!  Seek always the better part even if rough patches plague the trail, you'll find a better way lies in the experiences of life full and well lived.

With just a little effort you can create a new talent or even find a dream.  You can ignite a vision that starts a new campaign,  all with a little time spent with those you've come to love.  How do you spend your time?  Is it with those you love?  Do you waste away precious moments in pursuit of a personal quest?  The challenges are such that we must reap the rewards of pleasure or pain!  Are we willing and aware of the costs and consequences that we are buying with our time?  Memories are experiences that are shared with those we are spending our time. It is little things that bring the great successes or failures.  How do you wish to be remembered?  One who just did enough to get by?  Or did you create a great legacy so that your memory will never die?

What can I do with that?  So often the question is asked. For each item there is a whole host of answers. There is something that can be done with anything. It takes a little ingenuity and some creativity to bring to pass scores of inventions.  Some that will change society while others will fall flat.  The great point is that you have tried. That one has put to work and done things to make his world better.  And brought a great many things with just the things around him to fix it up make it work or do without!

The rescue is searching out those who wander in the world all alone!  They are those who are prayed for daily. They don't realize how much they're cared for or even want to be cared for as much as they are.  The rescue is a process that takes a lot of time  it is not something that sees instant fruit. It takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears. It is the efforts of long hours spent carrying out duty  and filling assignments, that will guide them home how great are the blessings for those he seek out the lost.

Open your heart for all to hear a wonderful song,  it was born the day I learned how much love my father above has for me!  He lives, my Lord and friend he guides me through so I will be free.  He makes it possible for me to return to his home above.  It starts with a simple desire that comes from deep inside.  It is a longing for peace a knowledge that I can be better.  It is knowing that he is always there! He is my closest friend.  He'll be with me until the end.  He is the father of all that's good who only asked us to believe he asked us to open our hearts and see a brighter hope for our families, a vision for peace, a greater love and then he asked us to go and do. To be little better. Guide others to do the same.  If only to be an example for actions speak volumes.  The great blessing given me is good examples  and little acts of kindness that teach me what the father is like.  So, I may recognize his face w...

I am but one lone voice amongst a violent sea.  There is much to distract and pull me off course.  None would mind if I lost my way and floundered out to sea.  I am the master of who I will be!  I am the light that guide others in this abyss, while others struggle I will hold them up. While evil torents pound upon my side  I will not give up I do not have the luxury of easing the grasp just this much to allow even a little anguish!  The father will guide if I will follow!

It is in the details where we find character, yes it is knowing who you are and never looking back to see the old, focus only on the future and learn from experience.  Some will be good others bad,  it is in the hope of right that one will be buoyed up and not sit idle, waiting for the next ship to come into view. Upward and onward until we have fought the last fight! This is where we will find our objectives and accomplish  all that we were sent to do!

What makes a hero? Is it the ribbon that lies upon the  chest? Is it the many acts of kindness that drape the unrecognized success? Or maybe in the humility of the sacrifice that lights the name worthy to be named? It is all of the above that make the title of them who serve without thought of self. They seek to better the world around them. They long for peace and yet they fight to uphold justice. It is in the hope that all can be better and that there is a cause greater than self. It is in the elder brothers grasp that we are lead to perfect our skills. It is in a fathers guiding eye of approval that we become free. It is in a mothers touch where compassion is taught! It is in the teachers hope that hone these skills and make us participant citizens in a game of chaos we call life. So, what makes the hero? It is what we have come to expect of one another. Most important it is what we expect of ourselves!

It doesn't take much a simple spark lights the raging inferno of a forest fire. This is how it ought to be people laughing and happiness all around. Instead heart ache rules the scene. Too many concern themselves with pain and suffering others just sit idly by and let others blaze their path only to lead others to destruction. These paths are wide and easy but the fruits bring pain and anguish! It can be changed with one voice, one that will stand and offer an alternative to this same old garbage as many follow, a new day will dawn. That day of promise and hope! What we long to be and who we know we are the greatness that once was maybe return as we seek to uphold the love of all men and seek to serve and share!

And stand as a beaconto the nations, that you will not go quietly into the night that you will be adream for others to follow that is what m...

Standing tall is much more than words, it is action spent overtime. Actions that guide others to understand and act on their own. Standing tall is being willing to act when others scoff, seeking strength through belief and helping others. Service sets the example that will lead others to stand with you. Building a backbone for all to see! Standing tall allows for peace through strength guiding the weakest of the weak through a gulf of despair. The need for leaders to rise from the ground has never been as great, standing tall for the world to see is how great leaders are named! No matter the hope or dream there is something to be said for the man who stands with conviction in his heart; that can't be swayed by every wind that comes, only to be knocked down. He stands and carries nations!

What I may do may be simple to you.  These little acts that mean so much.  They are but simple things, I cannot do much. What I do accomplish added up over time  will stand up with the highest executive.  You will be left sitting upon your perch  looking in hopes to gain some leverage  from those you've left to suppress.  the path that I've chosen is one fraught with trial and error.  You have coasted and stayed stagnant  always settling for mediocrity  allowing for yourself to be blown  about by every wind of doctrine!  Buoy up the simpleton  and stop breaking the hearts of those you love  and you'll find a peace of mind that will  last a lifetime!  Once you've gone to bed at night can you close your eyes with ease?  Seek out the simple to and seek only to please!

Listen and you will hear the whispers that long for your embrace; they are the hopes and fears of him long past that will guide your heart. If you choose to listen and heed the counsel clear, great help will ever be near. Heed not the great advice and you are doomed to the fate of him that has gone before. Well sometimes it is needed to trip and fall and yes even learn a lesson or two on your own, it is foolish to leave behind the wisdom of years long past because they seem irrelevant to one who lives here and now. Listening, brings forth guidance, opportunity, and brings one closer to bearing the fruits of his life's quest none may decide for him. He must choose his path, he must choose to listen. These choices will shape the cause of many nations. What is the part that you will play? Will you be left behind and never answer experiences call? Will you listen and heed the wisdom of ages that seek to guide one home?

Happiness is found in the moment! Lasting happiness is found in the crucible that we call life! It redefines us. It takes all we have to make it through yet through it all we are able to meet others, help others and enjoy the blessing of leading and guiding others on their way. Guidance comes from those who have been where we are. And is only useful as we pass it on to the aid of our siblings who are fighting to make their way and make their mark.

It is my hope to find a greater peace, a longing to be brought back home and a joy that will guide my life to victory! In this world there are too many cowards that wait on the moment and have nothing saved for rainy days ahead! It is our lot to use all of our talents to get us through this thing we call life gain experience to finally obtain our lasting reward.

Where does true ambition lie? Is it in the pride of the heart? Or the behind-the-scenes of life's opportunities? The true mark of ambition  is the hope, the dream, and the experience. Ambition is made up of pride and experience. It is the faith to proceed forward with the expectation that fruits will be rewarded. Experience will guide the spirit; into greatness and a brighter tomorrow. Wherever you go whatever you do  be true to your heart and you will have won the fight.

There is something to be said for opportunity. It provides for experience, it sees the end from the beginning. Opportunity is what memories are made of. What we do with the opportunity given us drives our tomorrows. What will you do with this thing called an opportunity? Will it be squandered or will it bare fruit? Now is the time to show. Now is the time to never back down. Now is the time to turn dreams into reality and stand on the rock of what is just and true.
