Everything I am.

I find, Everything...
Everything I need is in You
I know the very thing I'll find in You
So in everything I turn to You
All of my strength infused through You
To live my life as you have planned
Everything must be in You

Yes, You’re the very breath I take
I live, in You, I move in you
In You I truly have my being
You are the lover of my soul
The great desire of my life
You fill me with peace that never ends
Warmly whispered words inside my soul

In all my life journeys, my ups, and downs
Through these, I've come to realize
That never can I recognize
Much less realize
All that I have to visualize
Except I see my world, my dreams
Imaged through the silkscreen of your
All seeing, all knowing, and all loving eyes

Everything I am is in You
My deepest depths I find in You
All my seeking, searching ways
Always lead me back You
So in everything I turn to You
With all my strength, I run to you
For truly... Everything, Everything,
EVERYTHING, all I have is You.

The Journey to Becoming You...

The words below started off my journey to writing and publishing a book. I share them with you today to affirm what you already know - You have what it takes to make your dreams come true because God has put in you, all that it takes... So today, step out! Today, step up, and today, Don't you give up!!!

The Journey to Becoming You...

There are great gifts and talents,
Encoded into the very essence of your being. Never let anyone--least of all yourself--make you believe otherwise; It would be the greatest lie you ever believed.

Unchain your mind and unleash your imagination from limitations that bind.
They are the only glass ceiling preventing you from apprehending your goals.

Take every opportunity life presents you to express your gifting;
It may be the spark that lights up another life.

Take careful note of thoughts that cross your mind randomly.
One of those may be the key that unlocks the door to your dreams coming true.

Be passionately passionate about your passions,
And protect them like a newlywed does his spouse.

Taking the first step towards your dream brings you a decade, a year, a month, a week, a day, an hour, a minute, a moment closer to you fulfilling destiny. Go ahead; start today.

Never base your perception of a matter on a negative cliché,
And also be wary of positive ones that predict a particular course of events.
These are usually the products of the disillusioned mind,
Using them as a means to justify failures, or establishing them as yardsticks for success.
The former limits and the latter sets boundaries based on another’s experience.
Forge your own path; Write your own story.

 The price you pay to achieve your dreams
Is like a great purchase made at basement bargain price.
The cost is often far less than the real value of the object
And is usually only available for a window of time-- Grab it while you can!
 
Tomorrow is another possession that does not belong to you; Use what you have today--Carpe Diem!
Will to be who you want to be,
And you will become who you were meant to be. Remember:
Nothing shall be impossible to him who believes.

The wise ones who know don't just tell, the ignorant ones who just tell don't know. The ones who know just to tell, they are the jobless ones and the ones who tell just to know are the foolish ones... The ones who tell all that they know? Well, all bets are off...

So You Wanna Have a Baby... (1) How Do See Yourself?

This is the first of a must watch series of videos for those who expect to be mothers, and have believed for children...

Mystique of Woman

The mystique of woman-- Oh, where has it gone?
 Lost in a world of
"Bare all” and “Tell all."
Yet, in puzzlement behold
Woman, prime in her time,
Wholly discovered, cultivated, harvested. 
All revealed; all sold, bartered, and traded. 
Oh, the loss of mystique! 

The loss of womanly appeal its own story tells: 
Man constantly wanting;
Woman forever seeking--
A world of classifieds.
Pursuing the unknown yet familiar, 
Surrendered in narcissistic wonder, 
Their own reflections revered. 
Defiant in their deviance
Against naturality.
Mystique of Woman:
Forever lost? Can we reclaim?

The worth of a vessel should not be measured by that which it displays, but by what it contains.

And God said...

Since the beginning of time, the enemy has been seeking to distort  and to dilute The Word that it may become ineffectual and unfruitful in  the life of the believer. The devil knows that we know we need to know  The Word, but he tries to bring it to us in a seemingly straightforward,  non-threatening, but questioning way so that he may have a chance if a  breach is discovered, to insert his lies.

His goal is not to keep us from activity, it is to embroil us in the WRONG activity... So subtle are the lies he spins, and the slants he brings, that we must KNOW THE WORD, by revelation - In spirit, and in tangible reality - The study of The truth to unravel the lies of the devil,  so that when he comes, whether it be in the palace, in the city or in  the wilderness, we may as our Master said: IT IS WRITTEN!

Then and only then, may we go out in the POWER OF THE SPIRIT...

The things I write below are some of the lies that he has told and would want us to believe about our RELATIONSHIP WITH, AND IN CHRIST.

The  differences between The Word and the lies that the devil delivers are subtle and  some may discount them, but let us look into our hearts and examine  these words... Look to the end of each, and compare with The Word that  is WRITTEN and proceeds from the mouth of The Lord, and not that which  has proceeded from the mouth of man... Mere oral tradition which if  we are honest, we will acknowledge that as much as we have believed and  touted these words... THEY HAVE LACKED THE WITNESS TO THEIR VERACITY BY  DEMONSTRATION OF POWER...

This is not a call  to bash 'The Church', It is a call for us - YOU AND I to return to the  rock from which we have been hewn.To return to our first love...

The Secret – The Perpetuity of Eternity...

“Do you know one of the ways that The Godhead remains eternal?” This was the question that came to my mind totally out of the blue a while ago as I sat meditating. I knew that this was the voice of the Spirit and so being the smart gal that I am I answered “no I do not."  “Well, the eternal nature of the Godhead is based on ‘The Principle of Honor and Preference’” Honor and Preference? I asked. Yes, honor and preference. The Principle of Honor and Preference is the principle that governs the propagation of the Godhead and perpetuates the unending cycle of life unto life, unto life.

"Please explain," I said…

A Benediction of ‘Tudes’

I came across this piece I wrote a while ago and reading through I was struck by how much I wanted these rhymes to be the reason that resonates in my life... I share with you my Benediction of ‘Tudes’....

A Benediction of ‘Tudes’

Lord grant us grace for the expression of fortitude,

Liberate us from the crippling crutch of platitudes.

Endow us with a heart of servitude

Remove the veils of incertitude,

That seeks to cloak our pulchritude.

Lord change our attitude,

Shift the paradigm of our aptitude.

Give us latitude to attain higher altitude,

Create in us a disquietude,

And release us from the status quo of ineptitude.

Birth in us, a passion to affect the lives of multitudes,

With great amplitude,

Raising one and all  - Leaders with rectitude,

Molded with exactitude,

Into the Master’s similitude,

To impact with great magnitude,

Freed from the bondage of finitude...

Into the most desirable of beatitudes:

The state of ultimate plenitude, In Our Lord, The Christ…

Amen and AMEN.

Doing life!

A friend of mine once said: "Whatever you do, make sure you find someone  to 'do life' with"... Very true words... Words that came to mind today  after having had dinner with another dear friend who treated me to a  lovely dinner, just because... Spending time with my friend  brought it home to me like nothing else could, how blessed I am to have  beautiful people who 'do life' with me, and with whom I 'do life'...  Thank you, Ms Gwen Matthews... I truly felt the love!

Letter from a Mother to her Daughter... Honor and preference - The secret to the continuity of life!

It is only those who know exactly what they want, who get it... Getting to know what you really want intimately, is the pivot that tips you into the realm of fulfillment... Be intimate with and passionate for what you want, and you will get it... Intimacy begets knowledge, knowledge begets passion, passion begets fulfillment... Selah.

Let 2015 be a year of PASSION!
