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.

7 Revelations for 37

I really was trying to get through this birthday- well- get away with not writing anything specific, but all of a sudden, ideas started flowing. So. . . Here are 7 Revelations that I am trying to be mindful of as I go through Year 37. 1. Proverbs 4:23 is a command (not a suggestion). It reads, "Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life (AMP)." Other translations say to keep or guard  your heart. . . In other words, be selective and protect it. Watch what you allow to enter your heart. Seeds may be planted by various circumstances, people with whom you interact, etc. but you do not need to allow everything to take root. Things like bitterness, frustration, and envy will try to find a home within you.  Beware: Whatever you allow to take root in your heart will be reflected through your actions! 2. This goes right with Point #1. Be willing to have uncomfortable conversations. Clearing the air can also help to keep your heart [and spirit] c...

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...

I Almost. . . But I Didn't!- October 11, 2011

I almost forgot what I was worth. . . almost forgot that He loved me first but He reminded me. Things almost got out of hand. I almost walked out of His Will. . . His plan for me! Yet, He loved me! So much so, that He sent messages to me. Whether it was through a still, soft voice Or a gentle nudge to make the right choice. I heard it.  I felt it. I heard Him say. . . Don't listen to the world’s sweet nothings. Everything's not gold- just because it glistens. I've created you for myself . I want to be your love, your joy. . . your help. When will you realize how much I  love you? What more do I have to do?! I've given you strength, health and life. I can take what’s wrong and make it right. Don't sell yourself short! How I feel for you is in my Word. You’re wonderful beautiful fearfully made The love I have for you will never fade. Don’t let the world distract you. Simply set your affections on the things that are true Lovel...
