the UGLY in me

"two extremes never have a common middle ground. It's either one or the other." - hyquality

emotion : my definition is very wide. If I had to roll with one I would say the way you feel and how you express what you feel. At least for me that seems to hold very true. Every one seems to base how I feel off what I do. I'm a very consistent person. I'm the same way all the time. There are rare occasions when I flip. It throws people off but that's life. Can we truly say the absence of a smile is the evidence of no happiness.

For majority of my life I've always struggled with looking for the perfect coat of skin. Either I put too many on or I ran out of paint. I can never seem to be properly dressed for any occasion. I've been so dominant in my past that the only alternative I seem to have is being totally submissive. I've gone from taking my middle finger attitude every where I go to carrying half my heart on my sleeve. It's so easy to act like I don't care and end up not caring at all than to care and have to consider all emotions on the table. But despite all this I know that you have to control your emotions. It shows how much faith you have.

It's been a hard long road to where I stand now. The drug I was addicted to almost killed me. It got so bad I would literally get high in my sleep. Thinking it was just a dream but in reality I was so far gone. I prayed and prayed. It wouldn't help. I broke down while rolling up but I wouldn't stop smoking. The first dose was the best. After that I was chasing it. Trying to reach the same level but my drug dealer kept feeding me the low grade. And I needed it day and night. Crying cause the satisfaction left a long time ago but the need to do it wouldn't leave. Imagine how it feels to smoke a lb and still be sane. In your regular state of mind. That was me. But everybody is looking at me to validate they freedom and I couldn't even save myself. I had guilt written on all my shirts and shame all across my jeans. I couldn't breathe. I was so caught up I couldn't even say I'm sorry. Salvation and repentance wasn't for addicts like me. I used up all my second chances. There was no saving me.

There was this beautiful light shining. The perfect shade of white. Not blinding but soothing. It released me. Corrected my vision and redesigned my thoughts. I chased it down and it led me to 11. 11 saved my soul. She gave me knew clothes of power and love to wear. She feed me and quenched my thirst. I will never forget that day. I found my passion I found myself I found Him again. I live to create more days like those. Nothing will ever beat the feeling of coming home no matter how many times you open the door.

Next Stop: U Turn

"The second it seems like everything is falling apart run to God who can put better things together. " - Sincerely.Shanae [my tumblr] One of the best things about BMT is airmen's time in the day room. Its the one chance you get to be free of everything around you. Its where my hope joy and strength came from. I had time to push myself into God. To invade His space like never before. All the letters I received were answered prayer. I have connected with a couple of my flight mates via FB. I see how they respond to each other almost like sisters. The i miss yous and the remember the time whens remind me that I never developed a solid relationship with any of them. I spent a lot of time by myself in my own little corner praying to God. We were inseparable. I talked to Him day and night. In good times and bad times. He became my family. He was my mother father sister brother aunt uncle grandma grandpa etc. He listened to my pain on bad days. He set my joy on fire on my good d...

He Gave

And he gave me hands. Hands to write the vision and make it plain. Hands to wipe every tear as He counted the blessings they would bring. He gave me feet. Feet to walk in the path he set before me. To run this race and endure all that comes my way. To jump over and walk through the valley of the shadow of death. He gave me a mouth. To shout the praises of a living king. To worship the glory of the holy lamb. To move the mountains to new places. To conquer the spirit of silence. He gave me life. Became who I am so I could be who he is. Laid down so I could stand firm. Cried out so I could dream big. Stepped down so I could be set free. Broke chains so I could serve him. Passed down the letter and canceled it through grace. He gave me love. Love to overcome breakthrough. To nurture bring life and survive. To rebuke loneliness inspire and grow. My King My Saviour My Redeemer who is patient and kind. Keeps no records of my wrongs wont delight in my evil ways protects trusts and...

Push Play

"For God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind." - 2 Timothy 1:7 " There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." - 1 John 4:18 I get a lot of "advice" about love and my relationship. Some good some bad and some that doesn't deserve my attention. Positivity helps me filter through what I need to keep and what I need to throw away. Sometimes I choose what agrees with my feelings over the wisdom that God is pouring out. I'm not perfect. That doesn't take away from my responsibility its simply a statement of truth. I choose to be who He called me to be because who my flesh desires to be will kill me. With that being said here we go. The Way You Love Me- Anthony Evans I try my best not to get set in my ways. I know that my ways are not His ways and therefore they are null and void. They shouldn't have any power over who I a...
