Next Stop: Vital Span

As I sit here, I think about how the dynamics of relationships have changed in my own lifetime. I’m only 22 years old and I’m noticing how quickly the world is changing. I was born in the mist of the independent woman movement. You know all the women who independent throw ya hands up at me? All the way to if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it. We moved from claiming we don’t need a man to claiming we don’t need a man unless he puts a ring it. Marriage has went from a well respected institution to comedy hour. It use to be if you love somebody you marry them to show your commitment. Now its we don’t need no ring or paper to prove we love each other. That's nothing short of dishonor. How can you request my body heart and mind to submission but refuse to honor our covenant before God my spiritual parents (my pastors) and family?

Marriage was implemented so the world could have a consistent strong reminder of how God loves the church. Marriage is ministry not floating on cloud 9 from dusk to dawn. The definition was never supposed to be confused with the benefits. Most people are so busy worshipping the benefits we forget the definition then when it gets hard the divorce rate is 10 times higher than the interest rate on a Macy's credit card. Its sad.

Movements like these have infected generations of women with false identity. Wombs that were meant to give birth to every living thing now birth chaos and confusion. A child with no father lacks direction. Just as a vision not written down is an interesting thought. The production of action is the basis of faith. I cannot identity what you believe until you move.

So why marriage? When I got saved at the age of 19 I showed God my faith and He showed me His face. I dedicated my life to spiritual plastic surgery. Altering flesh from head to toe until my dress was tailor made. Facelift so I would never forget where my help comes from. Tummy tucks to bind the belly and curve my appetite. Man shall not live off bread alone but Kings never beg for it. The diet of a Son is different from the diet of a child. Children eat from this world but Sons eat from Heaven. Rhinoplasty to taste and see that my God is good. Of course closed mouths don't get fed but a stuffy nose will let you eat anything. Lip augmentation so when I speak God speaks too. In Eden creation heard God but saw Adam. So let us make man in our own image after our likeness.

"I don't believe that we were put together not to be together. And I don't believe there's any one out there that can love me better." - Dondria

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...
