My New Venture
I am beginning a new, well sort of new journey in the sense that it will be an insight into Me. My new book is coming out and it will be a look back on my journey that I call, My Truth. There are things that I uncover about myself which have been hidden away from the world I live in. Some things are covered to protect people, but most things were hidden to protect Myself. I am happy with myself, and I am accepting of others who played a part in my development as a whole person.
Please enjoy and feel free to explore your own Truth with open eyes, and open hearts.
Thank you,
Danielle Atkinson
My Truth available on Apple Books coming soon
Sadness
A prayer:
Lord you know what sadness feels like, even Jesus wept. Please comfort those that are sad today. Help them to not try and make sense of what has happened, but lean on You for strength.
Keep our hearts before You and heal our brokenness. Wipe every tear and calm every heart. Give us now the Peace that passes all understanding, and help us to move forward showing Your Love to one another.
Let us not be consumed with the little things, but consume us with Love for one another. You are our Peace, O God, and You are our strength. Glory to Your name.
Amen
Activity
We are always active, but what are we active doing? Is it helpful, hurtful, fulfilling, or time consuming? We spend time doing things that we love doing or doing things we have to do. Either way our activities create our life, whether those activities are consuming our lives or whether those activities are adding to our lives is our own perception. Choose those activities that enhance your life. Choose activities that enhance others around you. Choose activities that add to your existence and the existence of human life and you will never feel unfulfilled. You will feel fueled to do more of those types of activities.

Looking Around
As I look around at the world today it is so easy to get discouraged. There is corruption from the White House to the streets. There are people dying faster than you can blink. There are weather extremes that have never been witnessed before and it seems as though evil is winning. But it is in these times that I am reminded that God Is STILL IN CONTROL! I can walk in faith knowing He already knows what comes next. It may not make sense to our minds or understanding because we are only looking at it from our point of view. It is like reading a book starting from the middle and going to the beginning. We get half of the understanding. God has not only read the book, He Wrote The Book. So He already knows what will be. Our only job is to trust that He’s Got It! FULL TRUST! Blind Faith at its best
He Knows and better yet because He knows He will guide us through the valley of the shadow of death, NO FEAR. Do we trust Him? Now is the test, will you pass?

All You Need Is A Word
All you need is a word.
A word that will set the course of the day.
A word that brings light into the darkness and illuminates the way.
All you need is a word.
A word that challenges your faith.
A word that brings clarity to something that was already said.
All you need is a word.
A word at the right time, which will thrust you into destiny.
A word that bares witness with the feeling in your soul.
All you need is a word.
A word which shows you the way to make you believe you have what you need.
All You Need Is A Word.
Challenge
Ever notice when you get real comfortable things change. Sometimes it is a radical change and sometimes it is a very small, hardly recognized change but a change nonetheless. These shifts that occur when we are most comfortable in life can sometimes be God nudging us to move forward, or higher. They are mostly uncomfortable shifts, you know the ones that make you question Him the most. Uncertainty lurks keeping you just a little afraid to jump at the chance, but it doesn’t go away. That feeling of a challenge keeps you going. If that feeling comes with an overwhelming peace inside then maybe He is calling you to step outside of your boat. Maybe He is calling you to fulfill your God given talent and to expose the very thing you want to hide. Maybe that thing is what He uses to free thousands, but you will never know unless you are willing to be uncomfortable.
Today I challenge you to do that thing that He is calling you to do, and get a little uncomfortable. Who knows, it may be the greatest move you will make!

Broken Daughters Never Fathered
There are many of them all around, blending in not creating a sound.
Their vibes are felt every place they go.
Hurt and pain, brokenness and strife, feeling alone like no one knows.
He sees your hurt, despair and pain.
He wants to Father you and give you a new name.
He wants to put you on a crown of life designed to fit you and only you.
Brilliantly designed with jewels and honor, not shame and misuse.
You do have a Father!
One who loves you more than you could ever know.
He knows your name, all your cares and woes.
Your Father is waiting even when you can’t feel Him, His love for you never goes away it only grows and grows.
Today I Found A Card
Today I found a card, a memory of you.
It brought back such a warm feeling, thinking of all we used to do.
Moments at your home, listening to you talk and all the things you would cook for us just because you could.
I missed you more today as I read the cards’ inside.
I’ll never forget the lessons you taught me and how much I kept of you by how I live my life.
I wish I could see you and spend some time at your home.
You would get such joy with my children, I would never leave you alone.
I know you are in a better place far away from here, but I miss you, I love you, and today my heart aches.
I thank God He allowed me to sit and listen to all of the wise things you would say.
How I wish you were near, and how I wish you could stay.
There’s A Reason You Can’t Fit Those Shoes
Baby girl, don’t try to wear those shoes.
Those shoes weren’t made for you.
Those shoes are not the right size, they are way too big!
I know you want them to fit, but trust me one day you will.
You have a journey to take, a lifetime of experiences that will take you down and uphill.
You will get there!
You might be bruised, beaten, or scared.
Your shoes may be nice and new, shiny and bright.
My shoes may be old, worn and tight.
But I assure you though you go through the valley of death, you will see green pastures if you hold onto His hand.
Growing pains are inevitable, they are a part of everyone’s life story, the difference is how you end.
What is it that is in your path?
Who plays a part of your life’s cast?
No one knows what shoes you will wear.
No one knows what pain you will bear.
No one can tell you what your future will look like.
Only shoes you can fill is your own size.
No matter what they look like life will put you in shoes that are right for you.
I pray with each growing day, and every passing year the shoes you wear will give you growing room.
Blessings ~
