Sunday

to my future husband


         I know we haven't met yet, but I'm so in love with you. I'm thanking God in advance every night for sending you to me. Sending me someone who is able to love me purely. Love me despite of my faults. Love me in spite of surrounding temptations. It took awhile to get where we are, but, baby, we got the kind of love that they sang about back in the day lol.  I know sometimes subconsciously I do things that offend you.  I know I get on your nerves sometimes. I know I get needy, nag, or sometimes my temper gets the best of me.  I know I'm three much at times, but thank you for having patience with me. You're my king and I am your queen. Thank you for making me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. Thank you.
         I never thought love would be like this. Of course, I fantasized and dreamt, but to actually live through something like this is...is....I just can't articulate.  We have that 1 Corinthian 13:4-7 type love. 
         And this love will last forever! As we submit ourselves to the Lord, and I become your Proverbs 31 noble wife, the universe is our limit. Actually, there is no limit to what we can achieve. It's not about what you can do for me or what I can do for you, but what we can do together.  Just don't forget: haste makes waste; and slow and steady wins the race. 
         I know I can be lazy at times, but even after our kids, I promise to keep myself up.  I promise not to get too comfy that I'll be embarrassing lol. I'll do my best to remain the same chick you fell in love with. Hair done. Nails done. Fancy ;)
        Communication is key. Don't hold back from me. Problem? Concern? Talk to me...not my neighbor. Tell me any and everything that's on your mind, but be tactful and respectful of course. The more we talk about and talk through things, they less grey area we will have. This is very important to me. 


God. Patience.
Reciprocity. Communication. 
Selflessness. Respect. 
Faith. Positivity. 
Exclusivity. Common ground.
... are just a few things that makes this marriage perfect! 
        
I'm so excited to love you for the rest of our lives. *bisou*

morning meditation!

Temptation [temp-tey-shuhn]


     I should get an award for saying this word the most times any human being has this week. It is a noun described as: something that tempts, entices, or allures; and the fact or state of being tempted, esp. to evil. Today's morning meditation come from 1 Corinthians 10:13. It is written:

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.


     I've heard this verse many times, but I'm so thankful to finally locate it. There is not much to reflect on here. Of all the temptations in the world, God will not give you anything out of your reach. He also equips us with tools necessary to win each battle. In fact, you have already won. HEY! God is good...



Friday

daily meditation !

It's been absent for a bit, but here's our daily meditation: God Provides us with resources to apply wisdom to EVERY situaion.
It is written in Proverbs 24: "30 I went by the field of the lazy man, and by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;31 And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down.32 When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction:33 A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest;34 So shall your poverty come like a prowler, And your need like an armed man."
>>>While someof us see the obvious, and others purposely ignore it, we may not understand it. It may see like the devil is as busy as a bee; but what we may not know is that God has already given us the "resources" to understand not only what's going on, but why! Sure, He may not come down and talk to us in a burning bush like He did Moses, but He gives us people, objects, words, pictures, and other things around us as to give us a clue.  We do not know what challanges we face in the upcoming roads, but by walking and seeing with  faith in God, every situation will make sense; but not will it only make sense, we will learn from it.


To God be the glory...

Daily Meditation 2/26/2010

I sought the Lord, and He answered me, from my fears. -Psalm 34:4

One of the best perks of being a Christian is the privilege of taking everything to the Lord in payer. So the next time you feel defeated remember He has all the right armor to fight your battles...after all it is His fight.

God bless you all this Friday.

TGIF wooooooooooooo whoooooooo.......

Daily Meditation 2/24/2010


Proverbs 23:9:
Don’t waste your breath on fools, for they will despise the wisest advice.


I particularly like this scripture because it relates to my life and the people in it...and I myself have played the fool before! Somethings can be so obvious...so common sense, but when we try to advice those closest to us they refuse to accept our points of views and continue in their business. Not saying I have the answers for everything-or anything at all for that matter-but sometimes when I'm doing my duty to help one as a friend, sister, cousin, lover, confident, or human you should try out hear me out. Only that person knows the situation truly, but being out-of-the-box gives other eyes that are useful to help the "fool". A fool in this case being a person whom is stubborn and unaccepting person. But there comes a point where you just stop being the caring person you are and let that fool continue in their foolish ways. And to continue....

Proverbs 18:2
A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.

So there is no need to waste our breath on these unappreciative people. They will say what they want to say and do what they want to do. It is up to us to decide if the friendship/love is true are we going to stick around to emotionally support these people. All we can do is ask the Holy Ghost to be with them as they go forth.

Let's pray for the fools of the world and ask God that we do not become fools ourselves.

A very popular, old-school song says: Everybody plays the fool sometime; there's no exception to the rule...
FOOLS!

Tuesday

Daily Meditation

>>At church they always says that in order to stay on a straight path and grow as a Christian we have to read the Word daily. I follow Star Jones on twitter and she has daily morning mediations oh which I really enjoy; soooooooo....I decided that now is the time to start doing mine as well. Today's verse comes from NIV Philippians 4:6 and it reads Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God

>>True patience is a virtue and very hard skill to learn but haste makes waste. Think about how much more successful the person who takes his or her time is. In my life, this is one of the most important skills I am learning. Anything worth having is worth waiting for, right? But damn, how long do I have to wait? I guess everything happens at a perfect time. In times like this when I'm wondering where the hell my Prince Charming is (hell i'm supposed to have a prospective because I'm supposed to be married in a couple years according to tradition) and when he will come and sweep me from off of my feet and we live happily forever and all that mess. Or when I will get the result of my latest project (i'll tell u bout that later). Or when I'm gonna start my career after graduation...you get it the list goes on. But we must realize we cannot do it by myself...we have to be steadfast in the Word and make sure it's in accordance with It.

>>We should also realize that we may not be able to obtain my blessing because we're are not seasoned enough to accept what is in store. Our trials and tribulations are God building fences around me. He is teaching us lesson and training me with people and situations so when our blessings do flow, we will be mature and educated enough to know what to do with it.

IN SUMMARY: Do not worry about anything, but take it to the Lord in prayer. Ask him for it and thank Him for what He's done.
