No pressure

Went to the park today and had a chance to talk, sit and think. As I was sitting there, I noticed the ducks.
, just living..so I posed the question to my friend, would he want to be anything else other than human? His answer was no because anything else won't have the opportunity to go to heaven. So this made me think... While I wouldn't want to be anything else, I couldn't help but think about the "no pressure" these ducks have. When they die they just die, no soul to put them in a heaven or a hell. And if you ever have a chance to watch these creatures you notice this freedom that they have....this is the same freedom that humans try to obtain. The ducks were God's way of revealing so much to me about my life. God told me I too could be like these ducks. Not a care in the world, no pressure, and really have the Hakuna Matata attitude but the only way to achieve this is through HIM. That if I live according to HIS WORD there will be no pressure, no heaven or hell to choose from, heaven would be the only option. No pressure.
While watching these animals, I watched one swim. If you look at them it looks like it's easy, no work put into it, that's the surface, but if you look under the surface his feet are moving, putting in work but you would never know. The duck appears as if he is just gliding in the water. Easy. This is how God operates in our lives...we often look like everything is together, while God is behind the scenes: working, mending, operating, removing and adding things to us, making this process, look easy!
Also, as I sat there, I observed these ducks walking on land, swimming in the water and flying in the air. And as I seen this, Multi Dimensions, came to mind. God made us to flow in multiple dimensions but many times we only flow outta one. I'm only speaking for myself. But I know that I have the ability to do multiple things, but I only like to do those things that I am comfortable with. Let's just use hospitality as an example, I've been "ushering" since I can remember, I can greet people and pass out thing's all day, everyday but this altar worker thing is totally out of my zone, but it's definitely needed to help push and assist me in certain areas of my life. So coming out of my comfort zone is needed and a must. It's a must because I want God to get outta me everything that is necessary for me to fulfil my purpose. Sitting there made me realize that I am not using every dimension that God has giving me and I am not flowing at my maximum potential.
So I must change this!

No Pressure because I am committed to seeking and chasing after HIM, I am so thankful for God working on me behind the scenes and I will operate in each area that I am good at and even the areas I am not so comfortable in, multiple dimensions, exercised.

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...
