My {Senses} Prayer- December 3, 2012

Dear Lord. . . I've been noticing some things that have reminded me just how valuable a sincere relationship with You truly is!

I'm asking You to please guard my heart, soul and mind. . .

Allow me to stay focused on You and not worry about things that may simply appeal to my senses.

Lord, let me see people for who they really are and establish appropriate boundaries. Allow me to surround myself with friends who will push me closer to you and not try to pull me away.

Guard my mind and make me realize that while You can choose to use me, it is only for YOUR glory. It's not about me! Let me never think that I've accomplished any of my goals on my own. . . but  cause me to remember that it was through Your help and strength.

Lord Jesus, draw me closer to You!  Increase my desire to spend time in Your presence!  Allow me to hear Your voice clearly and let You lead me.

Let me taste your Word-> even the 'dishes' that I may not like. Your Word is nourishment for my soul. While it may be difficult to digest at times, I can only learn from it and grow stronger in You.

When I feel lonely, send me reminders-> Yours is the greatest love that could ever exist! Let me remember that You've created me for a purpose and to not be discouraged if things aren't "going my way." I just want Your Will to be done in my life!

Lord, I'm striving to walk upright before you!  When I offer praise to You, I want it to come before You as a sweet-smelling savor.

Lord, cause me to have a grateful heart & to declare Your Works. I don't want to take Your love and power in my life for granted.  It is in You that I live, move and have my being, and I know I'm blessed to experience Your love- every day!

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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...

I Can't Buy It!

"They are trying way too hard." Have you ever watched a tv show/movie or had a conversation with someone and thought that?  Sometimes it could be a matter of trying to create a sense of chemistry that isn't there or maybe one person is trying to impress another.  It's quite interesting to me. . . I remember having a conversation with my uncle, a few years ago.  We were discussing the various ways that people may treat PKs (preacher's kids).  Sometimes people feel extremely comfortable talking to me- when they find out that my father is a pastor.  ( At times, they become a little too comfortable and I start to feel like their therapist. . . I love to offer encouraging words though.  And I appreciate the fact that they trust me enough to share things with me. )  Other people seem to close up.  It's as though they think I'll scrutinize their every move :-/.  I promise- I'm a sweetheart :-). THEN. . . we have those people who end up being ...
