Vantage Point

"Where there is hope there is faith. Where there is faith there is love. Where there is love their is God. Where their is God there is no need." ANON.

I remember my teenage loves. The energy and time I put into making everything work. From the break ups to make ups. Late night phone calls and early morning cake sessions. Intense arguements that could commit genocide. Yet somehow it didnt hurt after im sorry. If I could love like that without God, imagine how much more I could with him. God's love is limitless. It opperates outside space and time. It knows no boundaries no conditions and no yesterdays. He is so busy loving me He cant remember my iniquity transgression and sin. Marriage is a crystal clear representation of this love. A commitment that only death can end.

Me and love (the feeling not the person) have a strange relationship. Sometimes it colors my world. Yellow sunshine so bright the energy warms my soul. Crystal blue skies that capture my every thought. Ever green trees that stand tall and strong. Red water that cleanses me like no other. I dip twice to kill my flesh and restore my soul. Grace carefully weaves together a dress made of joy and peace. I sit next to my King smiling. I was created for this moment.

Other times its a fight. In combat there are no promises. You either choose to live or you will surely die. I always get a head start. I chase pavements unsure of my destination. That's the beautiful thing about love. You don't have to know where you are going to get there on time.

Next Stop: Construction Zone

To fall flat on your face is to release who you use to be. To get back up is to become who you are. - HyQuality Between Romans 8: 28 and Galatians 6: 7 I have been building my understanding of everything that has happened. The people that have left. The relationships that have failed. The words I wish I had kept to myself. I have released the claims they had on my identity, demoting them to tools in the Potter's hands. He has kept me because I asked and yield. The blessing is not in a thing. But in the language attached to my name. Either He will reign forever or it will rain forever but I will not put my faith in both. I thank God for the place I am in. The breaking means more room for Him. A part of rebuilding is realizing that I lacked nothing from the beginning. Greater is He that is in me and in Him is all I need. This is not to starting over. This is to making better. Construction Zones There are two things the calm signifies. One is the peace of a new morning the othe...

Knock You Down

"Love (human affection) has put me through so much. Ive cried held on let go let God. Stayed. Thought about leaving. Threw in the towel went to go wash it. Prayed and fasted. Stopped moving moved too fast. Sometimes I need a break from love." - Shanithia That one little mini paragraph is exactly how I feel right about now. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how else to explain it but that's it. On more than one occasion a couple different people have told me I need to let these relationships go and be by myself for a while. I need to enjoy the world around me cause once I get married I'm going to wish I had enjoyed life a little more. I always laughed about. I'm still laughing about that actually. I enjoy my life most days. Cant say all days cause these past four days have been....lets just say I've had way way way way better days. I don't feel as if the world has anything for me except foolishness and more trouble than I'm already promised. And...

My Peace With Pain

"Go find your place of worship. Look into your pain and find your praise. Every low place in your life prepared you for your high place. And every tear you cried was water for the garden of your victory. And even though your in the valley victory comes through your adversity." - Marvin Sapp : Place of Worship Not advertising has its rewards. But also consequences. I feel like no matter the decision pain is a part of the process. Like at some point somebody was going to make me stare long and hard in the mirror. The confidence it takes to declare something you hardly desire to admit skipped over me until recently. I spent months praying for the lesson. Saying lord teach me. But I was not prepared for an experience. He is faithful to answer on the spot. So quick sometimes you're like whoa is this Him or me. Nevertheless He answered. Taking me back around to familiar places and situations. Digging up all the dirt I had so carefully catered to. Making sure it wasn't ove...
