How I Came to The Place of Sweet Sweet Smiles

Sweet Sweet Smiles...
yeah I know some people might be enough already with the Sweet Sweet Smiles. However there is more than what is on the surface of Sweet Sweet Smiles its more so the otherside of what once was...such as Fear, Doubt, Addiction, Sorrow, Sadness, Loss, Loneliness, Feeling of Not worthy, Frustration, Irritations, Self Pity, Loss of Job, Not Being Heard, Brokenness, No Matter the circumstance No Matter The Road...
Its where you are standing at the door, wall, mountain, or even a river.  Though many of times you have tried to...
Walk through that door but you don't want to turn the knob.
Climb that brick wall, but don't know where to place your footing once you start climbing so you give up

Hike that mountain but the numbness of  your legs and the weight on your shoulder that pushes you back down.

Cross the river but midway of swimming such as the current pushing you down stream you give up and go back to the side of which you started.

A Thought:

During that moment of fear and doubt you have a tap on a shoulder, a whisper to the ear a feeling of someone(s):
  • Holding your hand helping you turn that knob and not feeling alone.
  • Arms at the top of the wall as your arms reach to grab hold and feeling confident with placing each foot into the creases in the brick
  • Whisper in your ears encouraging you that you can climb this mountain that he is right there with you
  • There to hold your head above the water and help you tread the water to get to the other side.
He is with you with every crawl,  step, climb, swim, sweat, tear...On Every Road. No Matter the Conditions of the Road.

That Someone Is:
God. The Lord Almighty. Jesus Christ. Jesus Messiah. The Holy Spirit. Sarayu (character in The Shack by William P Young... which danced on my heart)

For I am Reminded Daily that Everyday In  All circumstances He is There by myside...By Your Side!!

This is why most of the times my status is Sweet Sweet Smiles...This is Why My Blog is Called Sweet Sweet Smiles...This is Why I Love This Phrase!!!
