All I want is that when God looks at me, hes in love with me!!
~ MY THOUGHT OF THE DAY (D¤)
BEYOND WORDS
Your love is beyond words... true say I cant even explain what you do to me.
You see me in my wreck, in my state, and you comfort me...
Beyond words
You see me when im happy and you elevate my world
God I cant express enough how much I need you...
If it wasn't for you these past few weeks I have no idea how I would have made it through
Even though I am "fixed", there are parts that still hurt.
I need you always,
I need you beyond words
My prayers now, are different and I focus on how awesome you are
Not just making requests, acknowledging that you’ve bought me this far
Bought me to a place of significant change
Shining a light on the real me... Gosh how I love the new me...
Discovering my beauty beyond what other have seen
You've made me to be a woman, no longer a girl
You've changed my whole outlook..., and blessed me beyond words
I don't have everything, there's still so much to gain
But I relax despite anxiety knowing that everything is back on its way,
knowing that your promises never changed,
accepting how life has turned out this way.
Because this whole process is the route to my success,
For my testimony to others and to declare that their dreams are not dead,
Even when the situations looks completely destroyed,
When theres still much more to go through, more hard times to endure,
that their prayers have been heard and will not return void
Oh God your essence is beyond description, impossible to fathom and a hardship to explain..
Its just an overwhelming feeling inside when I mention your name,
When I think of EVERYTHING, and even how my faith has changed...
Its stronger, I'M stronger, and more secure..
I'm no longer shaken by what's happening behind closed doors
Cuz the reality is what's mine is mine,
and so the Glory is yours (Cuz I have no doubt)
What is this change,
how did I get here I thought I would crumble... but looks like im still here
Still breathing, still smiling abiding in your grace
It so frustrating that I cant find the words to say....
Good God you leave me amazed
I'm starting to babble cuz i'm struggling to find words
Its so intense, so I'll stop before I burst
Cuz this love is so embracing, so consuming....
BEYOND WORDS
"EVERYTHING IVE EVER INVESTED MY WHOLE HEART INTO AT SOME POINT HAS BROKEN IT... TO THE POINT WHERE IM RELUCTANT TO PUT MY WHOLE HEART INTO MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD FOR FEAR OF REJECTION.....DOESNT MAKE SENSE...., BUT HOW DO I GET RID OF THE FEAR? "
MY THOUGHT OF THE DAY (D¤):
That's the issue...
So (most of my blogs begin with the word "so") I am very self reflective almost to a fault. I self reflect to the point where all I see is myself and that is not good. What I mean by that is I am starting to learn that there is a such thing as over analyzing yourself until you are no longer yourself. After being called "aggressive," after being told my energy is weird, after being shut out by certain circles in a very "subliminal, but I noticed that shit" kinda way I started it again. "IT" = the detrimental self reflection which turns into self sabotage.
While at the National Poetry Slam I had a chance to bond with Yaya. I'm sure she doesn't know this but the time that we took to get to know each other changed my life. It changed my view on a lot of things including all of the self reflection I had been doing. When I returned I had a Tarot reading and a familiar card was turned..."The Hermit." This card was also in a previous reading of mine. I finally figured out what it means to me! I would love to be able to clearly write to the world what it means but at the moment I need more time to put it in words. I will say that I realized that I am a visionary. I am the one with the thousand and one ideas and no real concept of how to fit the details into the puzzle, however, up until this point I had been trying to be both. I was trying to have the vision, write the vision, and act out the vision. THIS IS ALL WRONG! In the weeks to come I plan to be more supportive of poets, venues, and art in general. I plan to fade into the background and let others (those interested of course) help me put my vision into action.
This whole "independent woman" thing is bull shit especially when for some of us independence is life not a goal attained through getting a job and buying our own car. I have to learn to open myself up to being helped. That's the issue....I need help and I don't know how to ask or what to ask for because I just never thought to ask. Ok, reflection, this is not so much about self but about how self relates to others.
Pura Vida,
SB
