How Many?

I wrote this a while ago...but it spoke to me today so I wanted to post it. You say you serve the ONE true God but yet there are many before HIM. He may not be a fat man named Buddha. But simply your B.U.D.D.Y. 2 out of the 10 states, you should have no other God's before HIM. Which simply means choose ye this day whom you will serve. Service means to be a servant...who are you giving your order to? Anything that gets most/all of your time is your god. And it's possible to serve more than just one. Money. Yes it is the root of all evil, you on the grind, you say you chasing it but yet you claim to be chasing after HIM. (Sing, I'm chasing after you, no matter what I have to do cause I need you more and more.) Not to mention the power you are seeking. Seek HIM 1st. Love or should I say lust is consuming your life like a fire. Trying to throw water on flames when the STOP, DROP and ROLL method is needed. You will catch me in the spirit...it's like fire shut up in your bones. Careers, Family, Friends, Social Networks, Music and lest not forget that Blackberry, Droid or IPhone, all of which can be your driving force. But HE simply states in Exodus 20:3 and Deuteronomy 5:7, You should have no other gods before me. You know I am a jealous God, so why am I last on your list? More and More, you say? But I'm asking you for complete order and obedience and I get sloppy seconds/leftovers, So I ask you, Am I 1st?! Or am I just your bust boy here to clean up after you? Backed up against the wall hands up, saying, Lord, I get it! And HE says to me, do you REALLY? No more lip service, show me. Put me first, there is no other 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...
