What Is This?! (March 1, 2010)

Why is it that almost every time I think I'm good and content as an independent, hardworking, SINGLE woman. . .
Some guy comes and almost flips my script.

I'm
trying to understand the point of this.

My life is random enough->but right now?!
It's on a whole 'nother level.

I feel so confused and frustrated.

At the same time time, this is almost hilarious!


It's as though the majority of the qualities I'd appreciate in a man are directly in front of me.

However, they are within the one man I just can't have (and shouldn't want).


I'll admit he's smooth, sweet, talented. . .
attentive and considerate.

I feel like he'd challenge me and cause me to step my game up.

But this could only become a (close) friendship.


I pride myself on being consistent.

And standing firm on my standards and values.
Yes- I'm open-minded but I cannot afford to compromise myself just to possibly satisfy the flesh.

I hate the fact that I'm actually writing this- these thoughts down.

Like why am I even thinking about this?

Why am I so affected by this man who I barely know?!


Is it because he reminds me of the things I wanted?

Talented but not arrogant.

Willing to invest in others/foster their growth.

Strong yet sensitive. . .


Maybe this experience is just a reminder for me. . .

The right man is out there.

And when he arrives, I'll
KNOW.
There will be no doubts, no questions, no worries-> just Peace.

So until then, I'll be patient.
I'll learn life's lessons and keep on writing/growing.

The Unexpected Temptation

I know. . . It's been time for me to write something new.🙈 However, coming across this video from Jackie Hill Perry to prompted me to actually get this post out. One line pierced my heart. "When you have a gift that involves words, one of the ways the enemy will tempt you is to be silent." Wow!  I hone stly think silence is one of the last things that comes to mind when people think of temptation. According to Oxford Languages, the definition of temptation is  the desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. I can hear someone asking, "How can silence be wrong or unwise?"  Oh. . . Hold on for just a minute and it will come together. There are times when our obedience [to speak] may be the key to someone else's blessing . Your words and actions could essentially provide healing for your brother or sister in Christ! In the book of Revelation, we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.....

KCC - Vertical Current's Bright Side of Midnight

*I am super late with this post but. . . better late than never ;-)* I really love good food and good music! So I love being able to combine the two- especially if I also have great company! Saturday- August 2nd was no exception!  With the release of their first full-length album, Vertical Current took to the Warmdaddy's stage to celebrate! I was happy to have my girl friend/lil sis there with me! While the members of this exciting band are able to complement one another's strengths, they also bring on guests that seem to add an extra  oomph  to their shows! To start the night off, the audience was introduced to the group-   Ode to Omni !  It was the first time that my friend and I had heard them and we were definitely impressed! Other special guests (who also appear on the album) were Chartel Findlater, Shelia Moser (aka Lee Mo), Rick Tate Jr. and El' Ahmad Barak! Bright Side of Midnight was released on July 29th and it offers 11 tracks of ama...

Let It Go {One Year of Freedom}

"...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." - Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)  **If you don't get anything else out of this post, I pray that you realize. . . you really can do all things through Christ - especially when your desire is to please Him! He will strengthen you to walk uprightly before Him.** ---------- Believe me when I say. . . Knowing what you need to do is very  different from actually doing it. Sometimes it is difficult to do what we know is right. That's where I found myself, in November and December of 2022. Let me take you back. . . As a single woman (just in case anybody needs clarification 😉), I was opening myself up to meeting guys and getting to know them when I crossed paths with  Royal . Initially, we seemed to have quite a few things in common: faith, a desire to serve our communities, a strong love for our families, and. . . a way with words. (*insert face...
