Packing...Everything Must Go!

If you know and talk to me regularly, you know that I just moved this week. Although the moving process, from finding an apartment to actually moving, was probably thee worst experience ever. Even though the experience wasn't pleasant, God used this time to pull stuff outta me. As I was packing, God kept reminding me of two words that HE had spoken over my life for this season, "Brand New." So as I was packing, I started throwing and giving away everything...with no idea of how I would replace any of it...just holding onto "Brand New."
A couple Tues ago @ Bible Study,God released me in so many ways, I can't even begin to explain and I still don't know how I ended up in the middle aisle in the front passed out, lol. *Abraham Shrug* When I started packing in the natural, in the spiritual, God told me Everything Must Go. As I began to pack my clothes, God told me to put on my garment of praise, and to pack anything that hindered me before from praising God completely. I had to pack, depression, low self-esteem, bitterness, jealousy, loneliness, attention seeking, lying, fear, doubt, lust, and unforgiveness. God told me in order for me to be "Brand New" this season, Everything Must Go. No need for a side walk sale...if it's still in the store it has to go. No markdown's necessary because the price can be marked to regular price again. More like a going out of business sale, it's not needed at this location anymore. This season: Brand New...it's mine, it price has already been paid! And if I gotta put in overtime, save up or even put it on layaway, whenever I get "it"-whatever HE promised in this season, it will be Brand New...#enoughsaid

The List

Recently, I've been in conversation with friends, females and "the list" seems to be in most of our conversations about men. All Women, regardless of race or age have "the list." The List is what type of man a woman wants. It's personal preference. But usually the list have similar things on there, like He must know and love God and have a job, etc. The above mentioned are usually on most women's list and most important to most. Of course: looks, a car, apt/house(not living with parents) and some form of education are the jist of the list as well. All of my friends are independent, educated, in their career or working on it...and doing what they got to do. But there's a link missing. No1 to submit to. This could stem from a lot of things: looking in the wrong place, baggage, to independent, the ratio of women to men, etc. But what I see the problem to be, is the list. Most list are not realistic and some of my friends/women in general are not willing...

Iceberg...Not lettuce though!

What you see, is NOT what you get. You often only see or know what an individual wants you to know. I often refer to this as surface level information. Also, on the surface level are often manifestations of behaviors and speech. But under the surface, lies so much more. Things under the surface, control surface level behaviors. And these are the things that often go unnoticed and are often suppressed/not discussed. Often the mystery of our iniquity. Top: Behavior Middle: Understanding Bottom: Mindset Top: In counseling, (Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling) we address the behaviors that manifest but we understand that the behavior is normally something unseen or unspoken that is now acted out. This is often what most respond to, the behavior. But what happens when someone is angry because they have been abused...is the anger addressed or the abuse? Both! But address what comes first. Behaviors are easily corrected. But let's not continue to put Band-Aids on wounds...

Forgotten

Have you ever felt, you are being overlooked? Have you ever felt that your prayers are not being answered? As, I write this, I envision, myself in a classroom, with my hand raised but no one ever calls on me, or picks me. It feels as if I have been forgotten.  The pain in this, is I feel that God has forgotten about me and I'm disappointed that he has forgotten. The disappointment comes with God being all knowing, so he knows the issues, I've struggled with in the areas of being loved and wanted. Currently, working on it, but I've dealt with abandonment for majority of my life, and yet I feel abandoned yet again.  To many, it doesn't or won't seem that I'm forgotten. Ministry is good, Business is good, the outward is awesome and I know without a doubt those doors are opening because HIS hand is in it...But I am on the quest for my inward to match my outward... I've prayed a specific prayer for the last 5 years and nothing.  No one ha...
