Serendipitous Musings

Today was such a great day of epiphanies. The total realization that we are only here temporarily seems to elude me from time to time. So wrapped up in the carnal world where I am only visitor; stranger; foreigner to this land. So many people tell me I'm selfless yet I seem to be self-led more often then not. What am I feeling today, how do I feel about this, that, you, me, her, him, things, life, strife, struggle, etc. Pause. It's so overwhelming. It's all so overwhelming. Do you ever dwell on problems that you can't solve? Like world hunger? Yeah. I'm that girl. Worry. Anxiety. About the future. About the past. Never about the present. Always trying to get to happy. When happy can be found now. Today, I was reminded that I'm going to Heaven. It was the greatest feeling ever. To be reminded that I am always longing for Heaven because that is my home. Heaven is a physical place. Transformed bodies. No sadness. No sickness. No death. Rejo...

"I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.” ~Psalm 40:8 I was meditating on this verse this morning and something stuck out to me. "I desire to do your will..." How easy is it for us to desire to do God's will? According to Paul, our spirit is willing but our flesh is weak (Matthew 26:41). The second part of that verse goes on to say that God's law is within the Psalmist's heart.  That's the key.  Continuous time spent with God in His word will cause you to desire the things of the Spirit. "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11 Just a reminder this morning that if you're feeling out of sorts or off track in your walk, you may want to go back to the Source for refreshing spiritual renewal. You can start with s pending time in the Word learning His voice. Pray that He reveal Himself to you before you start reading. He's there to listen and respo...

I believe writing for me is cathartic. It helps when I share my life experience with others because I am reminded that 1) I'm not the only one going through this, 2) It encourages others, and 3) I get encouragement and support from others. No matter what we like to think - we cannot do life alone. So... Welcome to September 1st, 2012. We will never see this day again but thank God He has seen fit for us to live it. As I sit here and sip on my Celestial Seasoning Peppermint Tea, I'm thinking of the past few months that have brought me to the place that I am at now - still, at peace and with my joy firmly in tact. God has really been speaking to me as of late. He will use a number of ways to speak to you (especially if you are ignoring his direct counsel). He will speak to you through people, places and things. In my case, it was through the person I was seeing. He had, so eloquently, pointed out during a discussion that I was flip floppy in my faith and sometimes-y with...

This torrential love This back and forth love This love because I can't help but love Love You are my eternal love In my mind love When will the fairytale end love? When will this all come crashing down love? My high love Get low love Better not see you with another chick love This heartsick love This I need you love This I can't breathe without you love This I can't think about anything but you love This isn't really love Love Infatuation... As deadly as one of the seven sins Where do I begin To separate from you? When we touch I don't know where I begin Where you end Lost in your eyes Passage way to your soul Take me away Mesmerized This can't be life... To be continued...

Its about that time. Imma tell you why I'm mad, son! Our society sickens me. Don't worry, Michelle O., I got this. I'm not proud to be an American. Why? Because of what our society condones. The smut on MTV and VH1 is our idea of entertainment!? Who's "reality" is reality tv based on!? It was all fun and games in the beginning! I'll admit to loving the Real World. Things just really got out of hand. The Real World......Jersey Shore. I see no positive growth. I see a steady climb of filth. I don't let my son watch much tv. Why? What can he learn? Fist-pump and how to smoosh!? America: dumbing down one person at a time. Sigh... If Housewives (not even married or with someone), Dirty Shore, and things like that float your boat: #NoShade But, if you have millions of 15-25 year olds thinking this is life and how you get down...Lord, help us beacuse they will inherit the Earth! Lord, it seems the last generation with sense was born in the 80's. God ble...

5...4...3...2...1.... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2011   Hello, darlings!  I hope your New Years was amazing! I was thinking about new years resolutions and the sort and realized that I never actually keep any. They are down the drain in less than one month. As the daily grind begins we go back to the way we were. I wondered what would happen if we got an accountability partner. If someone holds you accountable for what you set out to do...it just might work. I wanted to work out more, go to church more, not procrastinate so much...I already have a few friends in mind to help with these feats. Hopefully, I'll persevere.  I hope that God blesses whoever reads this with love, joy and prosperity this new year!
