Temptation

Published November 2, 2024 by tindertender

Four years ago I posted this. It is incredible what hind-site shows us of our growth. Keep going, friends.

TEMPTATION

It seems temptation still has its hold on me. When will I ever learn to subconsciously let go of past habitual patterns? It’s easy enough while awake, yet the ‘tests’ continue in the astral, and I find myself failing … failing myself.

There are times when I’d like to kick down a door and save those I hear being abused, yet for some reason, I don’t.

It seems those in the astral want me to know just how powerless I am. It seems I ought to meditate on personal power before nodding off at night.

Perhaps I’m not a warrior after all.

Perhaps I am merely a survivor.

Or, perhaps the time for my true test simply has not arrived yet.

Whichever way, the night is the night and the day is the day.

May this day be filled with that which brings smiles to faces and even laughter to hearts.

Be well friends.

May the best arrive for you in the coming moments.

Vanguard

Published October 10, 2024 by tindertender

The vanguard (sometimes abbreviated to van and also called the advance guard) is the leading part of an advancing military formation. It has a number of functions, including seeking out the enemy and securing ground in advance of the main force.

Many of you don’t remember your mission … to search for hidden pockets of foulness, to expose yourself, your innocence, your purity, to be vulnerable so the wicked come out to play.

You’ve gained access to darkness, to spaces and places hidden from the sleepers in the game.

Through your suffering, you’ve attained knowledge none other could.

Through your inner resilience, perseverance, and refusal of giving away your soul, you’ve made shift possible.

All the crooks and crannies of rats unseen, have been seen. Irrefutable evidences, you’ve gained.

You are more valuable, and more necessary than you may understand.

Thank you family.

You flew blind, they raped your mind, and yet still, here we are.

The Most High and family, all of their scary friends in shadows too, are here with full understanding, because of you. Because of your sacrifice and willingness to be a solution provider.

I love you.

Find Your People

Published September 18, 2024 by tindertender

Your crowd can’t be found if you’re hiding.
If you’re afraid to express yourself authentically and transparently,
If you’re afraid to be vulnerable, rejected or ridiculed,
You’ll never find those who are in resonance with your Soul.
Your Tribe.
Chosen Family.
Making decisions based out of fear will cause failure in a person’s life.
The goal is to expand, to elevate,
Not shrink.

Unconscious ‘Opportunity’

Published September 14, 2024 by tindertender

When you shine your inner light, you unconsciously present opportunity for others to do the same.

It will also make you a target … by spirits of envy, anger, etc attached to people, by literal demons, and from those afflicted and puppeted subconsciously to make you hurt.

It takes a lot of courage and strength to continue shining in love when others do their best to tear you apart or dim you.

It’s a service. Bringing light to various people, places and things. Service to the Divine.

I Am Grateful.

The Winner Takes it All

Published September 10, 2024 by tindertender

I don’t wanna talk
About things we’ve gone through
Though it’s hurting me
Now it’s history

I’ve played all my cards
And that’s what you’ve done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser’s standing small
Beside the victory
That’s her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence

Building me a home
Thinking I’d be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear

The winner takes it all (takes it all)
The loser has to fall (has to fall)
It’s simple and it’s plain (it’s so plain)
Why should I complain? (Why complain?)

But tell me, does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?

Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say?
Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide (will decide)
The likes of me abide (me abide)
Spectators of the show (of the show)
Always staying low (staying low)

The game is on again (on again)
A lover or a friend (or a friend)
A big thing or a small (big or small)
The winner takes it all (takes it all)

I don’t wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You’ve come to shake my hand

I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see

The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

So the winner takes it all
And the loser has to fall
Throw the dice, cold as ice
Way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall
And it’s plain, why complain?

The Kindest People

Published August 28, 2024 by tindertender

“The kindest people are not born that way, they are made. They are the ones that have experienced so much at the hands of life, they are the ones who have dug themselves out of the dark, who have fought to turn every loss into a lesson. The kindest people do not just exist – they choose to soften where circumstance has tried to harden them, they choose to believe in goodness, because they have seen firsthand why compassion is so necessary. They have seen firsthand why tenderness is so important in this world.” ~ Bianca Sparacino

One Day at a Time

Published August 22, 2024 by tindertender

Regardless of what happened yesterday, today is still a good day to be happy again. Leave the past where it is so you can keep moving forward. Just because they hurt you, it doesn’t mean that you can’t heal. Just because they couldn’t see your value, it doesn’t mean that someone else never will. Just because the relationship ended, it doesn’t mean that it is the end of your love life. Be happy with yourself today. Celebrate the fact that you are still a great person and that you did not allow one bad experience to control how you approach the rest of your life. Live, Love and Laugh, one day at a time.

Freedom ~ Sweet Escape

Published August 18, 2024 by tindertender

I woke this morning at 4:30 am to the words “5 hours”. My time, that’s 9:30 am. Then the lyrics of a song “she was thinking about you, you were thinking about yourself”.

She Was Thinking About YOU

After breakfast, I was resting, head leaned back, eyes closed, when I was gifted someone’s last vision … they must have looked up right as they plowed into the rear end of a big suv, like a Cadillac or something. It was white. I opened eyes to check the time, it was 9:28 am.

Freedom from that which refused to let go.

Thanks be to The Most High. Thank you for claiming, and freeing, The Mother from a heavy, heavy burden.

Patience

Published July 25, 2024 by tindertender

Patience is the only thing that was ever requested of me by He who has all authority.

This morning, the thought, “The longer you can withstand the attack, the more potent it is when He returns the unwanted ‘gift’.”

“Vengeance is mine”, sayeth the Lord.

All we need do is be patient and persevere.

Romans 12:17-19 New King James Version

17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have[a] regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
