"My Wants, Lord! Your needs, child!"- a Poem

My Wants, Lord! Your needs, child!




In a mate:


I want Tall, Dark and Handsome/
I want Gorgeous, Sexy and Classy
You need what I provide for my creations are beautiful (Psalm 104:24)
I want a Sweet and Sexy man/
I want a Sexy woman
You need an Ephesians 5 man/ a Proverbs 31 woman
I want someone who can truly love me
You need someone who knows God’s love, for apart from me, love does not exist (1 John 4:16)
I want a man/ woman who is confident
You need a man/woman confidently secured in Christ (Philippians 3)

In life:


I want a good career
You need my purpose, for it prevails (Prov. 19:21)
I want security
You need my grace for it is sufficient (2 Cor. 2:19)
I want the house, cars and kids
You need only Me for I know the plans I have for you (Jeremiah 29:11)

Wash...again

A poem I had written a little while back. Decided to share it by posting it here.

Wash...Again. 

Wash,

Cleanse,

Scold this filthy skin

From your presense,

banned forever, fully clothed in sin

Desires,

Selfishness,

Rebelling from within

My own rage

My fleshly wants

are the lions in my den

Wanting to belong to the "in"

crowd surrounding,

unable to spin...

180 degrees back to your grace

to seek your face

It's a chase

You pull me into an embrace

I stop for a hug...and then back to disgrace

I pace

Why the chase? When my soul thirsts for you

How I long to be free!

Of the misery

Called sin, trampling me.

Ultimately Your will prevails

never failing to bail...

Us out of our shame

Wigging out, we came,

Out of the darkness shouting Your name

Chastise and shove

some tough love

from above

Your grace and mercy forever reign,

We will never be the same,

In Jesus's name

Amen.

OWL fan- after the fact :)

Yep,

I admit. I am an OWLS fan after graduating from FAU. To be honest, I absolutely loathed the place when I attended as an Undergraduate student. I hated the parking, the professors, and so much more. But now that I'm gone, it's easy to be proud of the place. They have a new stadium that looks mighty mice...LOVE IT!! Lol. 

Anyways, today I'm still kinda in my resting mode, but I'm slowly getting back into the equilibrium of things. I am doing loads and loads of laundry today. Getting a little bit of exercise in, as well. 

I'm going to church tomorrow!!! So exciting!! This is the first time since I've been in this place(Alabama-JSU at Grad School), so I am super happy!! I miss the messages and the fellowship, so I am :D. 

I'm Freeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Hello,



Oh, I m so happy that I am done with this week. I was barely sleeping. I had 2 ridiculous exams and a presentation. It was horrible! But I guess that's Midterms for ya. I think that I kinda fell out of touch since I haven't been in school for about a year now. It's a little bit overwhelming, but I thank God for holding me through it. I thank Him for what He has assured me of this week. I am the daughter of a King, not just any King but the King of Kings. Whooooooooo!! Thank the Lord for sending His encouraging words my way through a friend. It came at the exact perfect moment. Lordie, God is always right on time! :-) He's my Rock, my everything!




'Til later peeps,

Still in hibernation mode from this week,

Ciao!

Happiness!!!

Well I am super ecstatic!!! That is all. Lol.


Nah, I wouldn't leave you guys without an explanation. It's me, after all. Well I guess I'm happy because my prayers were answered and God gave me the boldness that I wanted. Now, here comes the good part...wait...wait for it. I need even more patience!! Great, isn't it? LOL. It's amazing to be able to move 1 step forward, then have to halt to wait for more answers from the Lord. Well...I shall wait. :)


In my happy mode,
Signing off!! :))

Yoooo!! :)

Helloooo out there!

 So I've lost 22 pounds so far!! Yayyyyy. This week's Monday "Weigh-in" gave me a little hope as it yielded a 4.4 pounds total. Wow!! I would've just taken 2 honestly. But last week, we (Cleo and I) climbed the 12 flights of stairs at least 4 times, possibly more. Then, we also added our dorm building stairs into the stairs regimen, so it must be doing some mighty good.


I have a Biochem Adaptations exam which I am procrastinating on studying for. I really do not want to, so I might have to reconvene in the morning. Hope that Cleo and I do really well on this exam.


Hmm, anyway, keeping myself prayer-ed up.

Later-zzzz! :-)

Contemplating

Yep...


I now have a new perspective on this self-esteem issue. Simply, I turn to God. I know that I will get noticed by the people who are meant to notice me. I have gotten many inspirations not only from the Bible but from friends, motivational trainers, and more. I have realized that the reality is I have to work on me on all levels. It's not enough to work on my physical appearance, but I have to get my mind ready as well. I am going back to studying the book of 2 Samuel in the Bible and also am focusing on what I came here to do, which is work on the Mental/ Intellectual, Spiritual, and Physical. 




...Til next time :)
