marriage

Marriage is never easy. Nonetheless, it's great. See, never fall into this arena of believing the pictures you see on social media, or face book or talk shows. There is no perfect marriage on this side of the fence, nonetheless, there can be a successful marriage. Communication is the key to your marriage today. Start talking. The enemy been attacking marriage its not a new revelation? I am confused. It's reality. But........there is "Hope"

Behind the scenes

I remember when, I was in college and we had to do a presentation, being that I am quite older and laid back I was very quite in class, I was up next for the presentation and when I opened my mouth I shocked many of people , some said I couldn't believe that was you, you're so humble, why aren't you out there doing the will of God? What's taking you so long? I even heard on lady say I would have never thought that was in her.  Why? Maybe because I know who placed it there, my colleagues wasn't been rude, they were open hearted to he truth.  Sometimes your work may not be for everyone to see, but remember a lamp can only sit on a table for the world to see. It's all for his Glory. The time is near.  Been working behind the scene for 17 years,  God knows the time for all.

See, what I'm  saying is this, it's all him, and I have allowed Jesus to reshape me and restore my soul. My husband has been my shelter through many of seasons, I have never seeked  for fame, I have always done my work behind the scene. The Lord will place me in his divine care and timetable. Truly , it will be for his Honor and Glory.

Let the Lord be praised!

Godly Love

It amazes me how people are so quick to say what Godly love is, but they don't walk in Godly love  at all, stop worrying about other people journeys, stop stealing their words and most of all their dreams. You will never define yourself in someone else life. The Holy Spirit won't guide you with that type of behavior, wash your hands and stop using someone else footstool to become who your not! We must speak  the truth in love.  And be content to be just the servant  on the wall. You will be reviled , so let's be real , and be content like Paul stated. Be grateful , stop running as if your running for your Glory! Run for the Lord! Oh, first see what your called to do and do that!

" Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister , whom they have seen, cannot love  God, whom they have not seen.

Loving others is the only way to see God face. To see his face is the very character of who Jesus is.

Virtuous

The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.

Proverbs 14:1

Ladies build your house and stay out of another woman house. It's enough trying  to build your own, be your sister keeper, but understand you can't build her husband and kids and leave your family to perish. Understand the importance of your home. You build your home  and let her build her own. Your identity for your generation is just for you. Rise up and claim your power back. Welcome Jesus into your situation. And enjoy the Journey.  the "Destiny"  is yours. Wisdom can never be altered. It's true and authentic.

Victory

No, In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Romans 8

The word conqueror stood out in this verse, It reminded me of having the "Victory" over a certain circumstance. Truly, we are faced with many downfalls and situation everyday.

Victory is defined, as an act of defeating a enemy or opponent in a battle, game, or an competion, some what of a triumph, conquest to win.

So with that being said, lets take a close look at the word "conqueror" being a victor, a Winner, Champion.

This scripture reminds me of when things get difficult and hard,  we feel so overwhelmed and it's as if we want to give up and throw in the towel, take me for instance, I have gone through the fire and I am holding on to the promise of my father. I know my time will come and I am waiting patiently to that promise. I don't have a mandate call. I have a Clarion CALL THAT ONLY MY LORD AND SAVIOR PREDESTINED.    PEOPLE,  NEVER FAIL TO GIVE UP OR IN. SEEK THE ONE WHO MADE THE WAY. JESUS PAID THE PRICE. NOW RECEIVE THE PRIZE.

Without a shadow of a doubt we all struggle with loving our enemies, and this can be a hard task without Christ, at times it can and will be challenging with Christ. Nonetheless, your walk with Christ makes life a little more easier to accomplish , the difficult tasks.  Learn to be challenge  and learn to enjoy whatever journey that's placed before you. Life  get's  better , when you allow yourself to learn from your mistakes, mistakes and mishaps help you to grow, people help you to grow, if you only experienced the good what good would it do for you? So enemies, can be a tool to help you grow, in love and peace. The more you forgive, the greater you become.

Love

For God so loved the world he gave his one and only son that who shall ever believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

As I was praying, I thought about the mere fact of loving my enemies the way God loved the sinners and sent his son so he may fulfill the proposition of this world.  As I spoke to the Lord, I remember saying these words.  Lord even thou I know my enemies have come to try to destroy me, I put  my trust in you, I will never fail in trusting you, I may shift my emotions but trust will never be an issue.  I will trust in the mere fact of who you are. Your undying love in found in the action and character of Jesus Christ. So, I must love like you, accepting people right where they are, even if they're not perfect or rich, beautiful or a genius. I must understand that they were created and you loved in a way that's far beyond my inner thought s of who you are. So, I will  love like Jesus, and accept the love you sent through him, I will forgive and try to forget. See, your love keeps me loving and helps me to love even grater.

Love

Love-Webster dictionary define love as (1) :  strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties <maternal love for a child> (2) :  attraction based on sexual desire :  affection and tenderness felt by lovers <After all these years, they are still very much in love.> (3) :  affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests <love for his old schoolmates>
b :  an assurance of affection <give her my love>
The bible describe "Love " 
1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not proud, it does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth, it always truths, it always hope, always preservers. Love never fails, But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled, where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
We all know that love is a very powerful word, and it shouldn't be taken likely. I have experienced many forms of love. The greatest love I have ever experienced was the love of Christ, and I will never forget to praise him in al all things. I give it all to him my worship, my praise and my thanksgiving.

"The Tongue of the Elegance"

Your words are the most powerful and profound way of describing who you are. Your'e the example of what you practice, if you practice love , love will surrender.  Speak as if you were called to "Elegance"

This lady told me a story,

She was very elegant and every word that flourished out her mouth was like a flowing stream of water. she was very soft spoken, sweet and caring. I asked her out of curiosity,

How is it, that your able to speak so kind?

She answered in such a kind, and pleasant way.

These are the words she spoke,

I have heard enough harmful words, that was captured and stored in my database. (brain). My brain you Know.

So, I figured I could fill that empty place, and replace the vain words with words of "Elegance", so I may live, life in a "Excellent Way"

Love

Today is a special day for me, and I am trilled about this day. It's my Anniversary and I am so excited about this day.  Not because its the day I married the man I desire and love and cherish as my friend , lover and husband, but the man that I desire to spend my life with, the one I desire to share my God given purpose with. the one I seek to understand life with, and experience Destiny with. The life we live is sometimes unbearable, we get derailed through the journey, but we always get pulled back to the focus point. We know without a shadow of a doubt that there is purpose in us and that purpose lies in the hand of God. We seek out that purpose together, and hope to find Clarity. The day is never ending and were always  fighting to win the race, not with malice, defeat, anger, hatred, or pain. But merely with love, peace, joy and happiness. I won't say how long I been my beloved dear loved one, I will say that I have shared a few decades of Love with the man I call Husband.

May you be blessed my dear, may your life be filled with hope, love, grace and peace, may harvest and abundance overtake you and may we share long life together.

Happy Anniversary

Your wife,

Day 2

True love starts with the heart. The heart to say I am not perfect but, I will strive to love you in a daring and and unstoppable way. The big day is almost here. The day I said I will, to my dear husband. Not, I do. But, I will. The day he said he will.  The day I realized he was taken full responsibility for a woman that had been broken and destroyed by the act of pain, that was not only deep down in her soul but embedded in her heart. He was willing to say, I will take the pain and brokenness, and with Jesus help love you back to life.  Yes, that's what I said, love you back to life.  He took the pain, struggles, hurt, brokenness, loneliness, emotional distress, low self esteem, no confidence and said. I will love her like Christ loved the Church.

Ephesians 5:25

Husband, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

I say a love that the cross represent.
