The Indifferent

Known to be the one who is different

The one who accepts the name indifferent

The one who does not go along with societies meanings

and feelings about life

The one who does not fit life's stereotypes.

but stabs ignorance deep with a knife

The one who never was named brave

But was once life's slave

With chains of opinion shackled to her mind

Which left her eyes of truth blind

She was once the one who always felt left behind

Just a fading memory that no one cared to find

She never would stand for her dreams

Instead she lost them in her eyes when she cried streams

She refused to hear her heart's screams

She would let them choke to death

Enough that she could fake joys breath

She was hiding and often lying

In the shadows she hid her desires 

She let her true self die in the fires

She wanted to be free in this life, however she only knew strife

A strife that was colored by brokenness, pain and fear

She could not see anything clear

Opinions of others brought her death and the ending of her life was near

She soon began to grow tired and weary 

Her life became more and more bleary.

She wanted a new beginning

Something or Someone that would give her meaning

That would leave her heart singing

But what and how would be so willing?

Whose love would be unending

And would be so forgiving

THE ONE SHE WONDERED ABOUT

SOON CAME

He saw all of her shame

And took on all of the blame

He gave her a new name

He wanted her to win

And know the beauty and truth that was within

He gave her beauty for her ashes

All because he took all of her sin's slashes

For her Father in heaven gave her more

He opened her heart's door

She non longer had to be the world's minion

because He  gave her dominion

She held captive every lie satan placed in her head 

She put on instead every word that He said

This is the beauty  in her Father's blood that was shed

You see it wasn't just an accident that she was born different

She was meant to accept the name indifferent

She was never meant to accept life's lies

She was born to rise

She was born again because God heard her  cries

He gave her  vision 

And the power to fight against division

He set her free 

To her calling he gave her the key

Inside waiting for her was a beautiful growing tree

You see

The one who was Known to be different

Was once me

But God showed me who I could really be

I was born to be His child

He looked upon me even in my sin and smiled

Why you may ask?
Because He was ready to take off my mask
He was ready to teach me a new task

To speak of his love
And how it can only be experienced from the one up above

You were made to be different my friends

Its time to stop looking through the wrong lens

Its time to experience a new name

You see life is not a game

You don't want your true life to burn up in a flame

It is your life he wants to claim

May this poem hit your hearts deeply

Because for your life he died and it was not paid cheaply.

The Struggles In Life

       If we were to take a magnifying glass to look at our lives from a distance what would we see? We might see  how many times someone has wronged us, how many times we  made mistakes, the times we failed or fell down, the pains of our heart's deepest secrets, and the tears we shed. In a sum we would see life's struggles. Looking back at life's struggles can either be difficult or easy for some us. However, we each can say at least we have learned or grown from one of those struggles. Now for another question why are struggles so important?

   Struggles shapes us into the person we're meant to be. Without struggles we would be trees slumping low, and dried out. Our branches would easily break because our soil, which is our foundation, would be weak, with little nutrience. We would be weak when winds blow, and rain pours. 




    You see struggles are the bitter sweet seeds that helps us grow. We may not like the first taste of those seeds, however the after taste is sweet. Struggles are a part of us and it makes us. Without them we would never be the person we were meant to be.

Phenomenal Woman

“Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms                                                                                      
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal womanThat's me.”

The Plan

Making A Plan



Hello My Blog Readers!

Today's topic is on Making a Plan!

Making a plan of action for your life is very important! You may wonder why its so important? Let me ask you a question. What do builders do before building? They have to make a..... BLUE PRINT





If a builder fails to have a Blue Print they will have no guide on how to build. The same goes for OUR LIVES. We need a Blue Print. Without it we will not be able to build off of anything. This goes for seeing a vision or dream. The Blue Print of your life is important. The next question is how do you create a Blue Print?






STEPS

The 1st Step

What is the Vision (Idea): What has God shown you or what do you see or believe?
Remember that your Blue Print is not for everyone, its for you! You do not need anyone's approval other than God!
FYI:Be CAREFUL ON WHO YOU TELL PRAY FOR WISDOM!

The Second Step

Make A Plan: Pray over the plan. Ask God to help you make this plan.
Then have someone hold you accountable of this plan. Set goals and objectives. Then hang it on your wall so that you can see the vision (Blue Print of Your Life).

Third Step:

Take Action: Don't Sit Down, Go Start Building!
 Now that you created the Blue Print its time to build! Life is to short. You don't get another life. This is your JOB. You will not get rehired! So go after it today, not tomorrow! After you read this go start!

The Beauty of Singleness

The Beauty and The Beast


This week has been a new beginning and journey for me spiritually. It amazes me how God speaks even when we choose to ignore Him, specially in an area we struggle in. How much mercy He gives despite our disobedience. He constantly makes a way for us and is patient. God is so loving and sometimes I personally forget that. Over the course of the week I had an encounter with God through Him speaking to me through others on the gift of singleness. I will admit to you this subject is not that popular in our society, especially in a certain age bracket. However, we must face this subject with truth and honesty. So here goes.

Singleness- The Beauty and The Beast

I remember as a child I was hooked on Disney movies that involved the prince finding the princess. I wanted the fairy tale of true love. The prince saving me and being perfect. Without making mistakes or causing me any hurt or harm, I wanted it all. That mentality never went away. I found myself constantly thinking about an enchanted romance daily. I tell you those Disney movies can create a false hope and an unrealistic view of what love is. I continued to live my life according to the notion that I would get married and have a prince. I created a future and even set an age of when that future would take place! Can you believe I set an age! How crazy is that! I know we all have done it. I even played house and was known as the queen of playing a wife at my preschool.  When it was play time I would always put on my princess dress that was sparkly and pink just like the princesses in the Disney Movies. I would wait for my prince and we would literally get married every day. Now that I look back on it I laugh, but I also notice my pattern. I notice that being married or being in a relationship has always been my idol. The question is why? The longing for acceptance, fulfillment, affection, validation, worth, success, pleasure, attention? We all may struggle with this or struggled with it in the past.

Society has placed a false reality that being married is better than being single and it goes the same way for being single and not being married. However; both are gifts. If we go by the world's definition on singleness we will forever be lost in a false reality that has no truth. God's instruction on singleness and marriage is truth, however we create our own truth or listen to the world's truth. I know that I personally have. Admitting that we believe the false truth about singleness is not easy. It took me trial and error to see the false reality in singleness. Even with warning I still believed in the wrong meaning of singleness. However, God showed me time and time again the truth. It was then up to me to accept His truth or reject it. I rejected it and found nothing but more loneliness and despair. I have learned through my mistakes and writing about it brings the lie to the light and causes freedom. I want to write about my struggles and be truthful with my readers, so that there can be change.

I had the privilege of opening up to my mentors and sisters in Christ on this struggle. I must admit I was stunned to hear what married women had to say about marriage. They were truthful with me and all the counsel I received lined up with the word of God. The bible verse that each lady stated was the message that Paul wrote about singleness:

" I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband. I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord."- 1 Corinthians 7:32-35  

They referred to Paul and how when your single you have more time to devote to God. You see many of us fail to see the beauty in singleness. This allows us to devote our all to God. We have the time to use all we have for God and for God alone. That is amazing when you think about it. Knowing that we have nothing else to focus but God is beautiful. When we focus on getting married or who our spouse will be, it  takes away the time we have with God. Not to mention the calling He has on our life. This becomes idolatry and even turns into a burden. We find that our identity is founded in this notion of finding "the one". When the truth is, "that one" is already here. His name is Jesus! He is all that we need and we are His Bride!  God has our lives in His hands and knows what is best for us. It is hard to believe that, but we have to believe that He has our best interest in mind. That is truth.

Thank you for listening.

Show Me


Show me my pain

I'm tired of sitting here under clouds felt with rain

That drops heavy tears of pain

I want to see the sun of beauty

I no longer desire my heart to be moody

I want to experience a peace so deep as the ocean

No longer wanting to feel my histories of  commotion

Let the peace of the sun fall upon me

Let it grow with in me like a tall strong tree

Never breaking down at sea

But rides lifes waves fearlessly

And only living life courageously

May I become strong like iron

That is made stronger in the firer

I desire to shine brighter

I want to be life's fighter

I want you to show me my pain

So I can let go of life's chains

Peeling Back The Onion

Peeling Back The Onion

Greetings readers!

Life has its storms and rains, most of the time we are to busy to deal with the after math, or maybe we are to fearful to deal with the pain that was left. Whatever the reasoning may be sooner or later we have to begin our healing journey. We can't control life events, however we can control dealing with our issues we hide from ourselves. I like to think of our problems like an Onion. How do you peel an onion? It is a process, there is a lot of discomfort when peeling as well. You will cry due to the odor of the onion and you have to be patient to get to the core of the onion. It is not a fast process, there are steps to be taken until you reach the core. Just like an onion it is the same for us. The Healing Process is not something that happens over night. There are many layers of pain built up in our hearts that must be slowly peeled back. The journey will be well worth it in the end. There will be some hard days of crying, frustration, and anger, but all these things are a part of the process.

However when your journey is finally complete you will walk in freedom and peace. All the emotions that came out of your process were the keys to your breakthrough!

 Now is the time to start! Now is the time to heal!
