It Is Really All About Love

I fight daily with what it means to be a good Christian Woman
Having faith that God will light my path for the journey I am to take
That he will bring people into my life who will encourage and help empower me
That he will give me the wisdom to eliminate people in my life who will lead me from that path or slow me from my journey.
That I will remember I am from God and nothing is more beautiful than His love for me.
That no Father wants anything more for his child than faith, hope, and love.
That being from God means loving myself without reservation
Treating others as I would like to be treated
Passing no judgment, because at any moment a situation can change
Thinking positive, because how we think is manifested in our behaviors
Striving for perfection, but falling short due to our human nature
He gave His Son to death, so we might be saved
Therefore, forgiving ourselves and others for imperfections.....

Luke 18:19
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

What Is A God Given Life Worth?

What is a God given life worth?
Is it worth a pair of Jordan sneakers?
Is it worth an iPhone?
Is it worth drug money?
Is it worth reaction to slanderous words?
Is a God given life worth vengeance?
Is it worth hate?
Is it worth pain?
Is it worth suffrage?
Is it worth freedom?
Then why are we losing lives for much less?

Romans 13:8-10
Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Cringe Filled Wednesday

Every Wednesday I am forced to go out to lunch with my team at work.  I hate it so much that when it's time to go my insides cringe with disgust.  We go to the same restaurant every week, because they have free pie Wednesday.  The last couple of weeks that I ordered cherry pie as my choice it would look all torn up when I received it and nothing like the picture.  Another coworker ordered the cherry pie today and it was pretty perfect looking.  I said, "dang your pie looks good," thinking its a joke, or an opportunity to poke fun at me, another coworker blurted out "it's because she's white." My three coworkers all threw their heads backwards in laughter.  I didn't think that was funny..... And my boss went on to say, "it's what we were all thinking, but she was the only brave one to say it!"  My insides sank with hurt emotions.  Maybe because I've said its because I'm black to many times?  Maybe because they think I pull the "black card" to often?  Whatever the reason was....I sat among three white people who will have more support, and a greater span of opportunities then I could ever hope for, and based not on my character, but the color of my skin.  It's nearly impossible to convince someone of your misfortune when they fail to see your challenges.


Romans 11:15
For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

And I am unworthy Lord

And I am unworthy Lord.

Me and my lust and deceit

Lonely and looking

When the devil appears

So beautiful in his lies

And me searching for love or truth

Finding empty men with full promises

Searching and finding 

Searching and finding 

A cycle that's binding

Is it something in their eyes

The foul words that fall from their lips

Lies all lies

And me blinded by the hands of the devil 

I can't see the love or truth before me

Airway blocked

Not able to breath

Looking for my guardian angel to save me

And me searching for something longed for inside

And finding my vessel empty

And I am unworthy Lord

Him giving me strength to proceed

Acknowledging the struggle

I can finally breath

My lite back

My life back

God's hands wrapped around me

How could anyone ask

Who art thou?

No one willing to admit wanting to submit

And I am unworthy Lord

And I am still searching 

John 1:18-22

18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.

The Testimony of John the Baptist

19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

Statistics

NEVER LET STATISTICS DICTATE YOUR PLACE IN LIFE

 “We have not stopped praying for you since the first day we heard about you. In fact, we always pray that God will show you everything he wants you to do and that you may have all the wisdom and understanding that his Spirit gives. Then you will live a life that honors the Lord, and you will always please him by doing good deeds. You will come to know God even better. His glorious power will make you patient and strong enough to endure anything, and you will be truly happy.” Colossians 1:9-11
