This place.

In a strange place. I can't really describe it, can't seem to put my finger on it or put it into words. I feel so far away from everything but yet so close this is true with my friends, family n God. This is the first time ever in my life that I've never been sure about anything. Not sure of my passion, motivation, my place n the kingdom,my career, school, and pretty much life in general. My moods n emotions are all over the place. No stability. This place is weird. This place is growth. This place is uncomfortable. This place is a transition. The unknown is always questionable. Am I being boxed in?! I hope not- I'm so outside the box. Dynamics of relationships changing. At a stand still but changing and learning so much about myself. Communication becoming so important to me. This place I'm the realist as well as fragile and vulnerable. Walls back up in certain areas. Learning how to love again as well as Trust. My heart is so big it's my strength n my weakness. Peaceful. Falling in love with God all over again and myself. This place I'm n my head a lot. This place is blah. But joyful. Being pulled and stretched. Coming and going. This place is a test. This place is where I am currently and imma walk it out, whether I like it or not, head held high with a smile on my face....it may be tears running down face but it's all out my yes. I'm being cleansed and made new! Surgery....HE is removing things one by one, the "big" and the "little." In this place I'm so grateful. Yep, this place is my place!

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...
