LISTEN…God Speaks

loneliness

For the past few months, I had felt somewhat frustrated with God. He seemed to be giving everyone but me a word. Sometimes I would be in church and while the preacher preached I would literally be arguing with God, begging for a personal word. Don’t get me wrong. God speaks to me. Sometimes while […]

It Was Your Eyes

Eyes

Lonely.All alone in a crowded world.Two orbs meet two.No words spoken,Conversation beholden,Crinkles greet,Face red heat.I’m lost and heldIn a momentI see,In a sea.A sea that was your eyes.

Not everyone is doing IT…

As I was getting ready for work this morning, the Bible story about Elisha complaining to God about him being the only one in Israel who haven’t bowed to Baal came to me. What resounded in my head was God’s reply. Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have […]

It is time to leave your comfort zone

Helping

A year ago, I reached a place where I felt like I wasn’t growing. I felt like I wasn’t going anywhere. I felt stagnant. I had dreams and visions in mind but I saw no fit manner to achieve them. I was doing so much but I felt as though what I was reaching for […]

Male-Female Friendships

One of the theories that I’m positively tired of hearing is that females cannot have male friends without either party wanting to “do the tango” with the other. Well that’s a load of bull! I have two male friends who are my wingmen, my protectors, my trustees, my advisors, my psychologists, etc, etc all rolled […]

Life is like kneading dumplings

Dumplings

I can still remember the first time I had to knead dumplings. My mom had left for work and having kneaded the flour, she left it for my sister and I to make and cook. After almost 7 hours in a pot sweating, the dough was too soft to manipulate and our dumplings came out […]

You are who you are because of yesterday.

  A few weeks ago, God dropped this thought into my spirit “you are who you are because of yesterday”. I wrote the thought down in my phone and left it there. Last night as I was browsing through the phone, I came upon the thought. This time, I asked, ” God, how do you […]
