It's The Little Things

For some of you a million dollars would be nice.
Lord I want that Cadillac Truck Father ………
I need that house that's going to make all my family and friends talk. For me,
it's just Father… Let me meet my needs for the month.

When I go home after work and still have lights, I'm blessed. See we
sometimes rob Peter to pay Paul. I can go to the market and get food for my family. That is a plus in my book. See it's just the little things that excite me.

When I go home, and my husband is there to help ease my cares of the day,
that is a joy. Even as he is holding me, letting me know God is still in charge,
so give it all to Him. Oh what a relief. To you this may not be glamorous,
but to me it is priceless.

Oh yes…. When he cooks dinner from time to time, to give me a break,
makes me want to go that extra mile for him. It is not always about did he
take me out, but it's about the time he invests in ME. It's just the little
things he does that strikes up my desire for him EVEN MORE.

So stop thinking on what God hasn't given you and think about all he gives
you daily. See God said he would give you the desires of your heart, but the
thing is, he's not going to give you something that would take you from
him…… because some of us would become rich, and then we would never
pray again, because you can pay all your bills, go and travel when ever you wanted,
and do just what you felt like doing. Then you would have no time for God.
So think hard on it.

Life Is A Battle,
But Praise Brings Victory

When life has dealt you a hand
That you just can't understand
How God could allow you to
Face the situations you have Faced
That is when you seek the Father
And He will open your eyes to
what he needs you to know at that time.....

Now the road is not easy to travel
It will have turns and detours and...much more
There will even be times that you will reach...
A dead end but in those times the Father
Will help you to back up and turn it around....

Perhaps you may have done some things that
You are not proud of ......don't turn away come
Closer and allow the Father to wash the stink
From you and leave you smelling of something
So sweet yet something you have never smelled before.....

Oh yes there will be storms in your life
Yet the storm is there to help you....not
Hurt you for when it is over your light
Should be just a little brighter.......
That is the God in you shining giving
The Father the Glory ..........

Go ahead and give God the Glory, Honor, and Praise
For the good, the bad, the ugly, and the stuff no one knows....
Give it all to Him; For He gave it all for you and He still gives
Us His all day in and day out......for it is no mistake you are
Still here......God is never late nor is He ever wrong......So if
You went through a battle it was for your benefit......

So be careful what you say out of your mouth
For the Father just may have to bring a test your way.....
Life is a Battle but Praise brings about Victory
Victory not just in you, but it will effect the people
Around you and it will effect the situations around you.....

God is a complete God, a God of order......
So when He delivers you from your past....
He gives you what you need to conquer every demon...
That trys to take you back.....But you have to trust
What God has deposited in you....and know that
It is real and so is the Father......Oh yes it may be a Battle
But the Victory is right behind it...........

Preparation

Lord prepare my mind today
For great is thy task
Give me peace and understanding
Of thee O' Lord I ask

And if I should become a little weary
In running to achieve this goal
I ask O' Lord for strength from you
To nurture my blessed soul

The Lady In My Life

She calls out
I listen
Intently to what she has to say
For she is my guide
Gently she takes me by the hand
And shows me the path for today
Her aroma is sweet
As well as her words
For they are life to me
Instruction is her jewel
Understanding adornes her
Her lips speak confidence to my soul
And pours over my heart
The lady in my life
Wisdom she is

Come On Let's Be Real!

So who woke you up early this morning
Come on tell me don't you know
Was it your mother, your father
Maybe your sister your brother
Or maybe God put you here to show

To let you know you're on HIS MIND
Oh yes as AWESOME as it is
Because he reaches down to the lowest valley
And He claims all that are His

Oh I'm not talking about some dead old god
Who can't answer when you call
I ain't rhyming to you about some piece of wood
That can't catch you when you fall

I'm talking about the LIVING GOD
And there IS none else LIKE HIM
Oh you can slip and slide . . . Honey duck and dive
But rest assured you sure won't win

For when trouble comes oh you'll call His Name
I GUARANTEE . . . You surely will
Just let the terrorist drop another plane
Oh every church . . . It will be filled

So come on my Brother . . . My Sista . . . Girlfriend
Let us just be real
Stop the silly games that people play
Oh yall know the low down deal

Are you a sure nuff man that can handle his own
You know . . . Not seeking for a sugar momma
And Sistas are you looking for just any old blow Joe
Even though he don't know periods . . . From a comma

Oh come on now . . . Let's just be real
Because my Lord IS coming back
And He's looking for those that will take A STAND
Break some ground . . . Maybe take some slack

For when the war breaks out . . . And it surely will
Because it's already in the plan
Will you my Sista . . . My Brother . . . My Friend
Rise up and take A STAND

For if we as a people don't turn to God
Oh JUDGEMENT it will come
And when it does my friend don't ya be alarmed
If you don't conclude the TOTAL SUM

See the summation my Brother . . . My Sista . . . Girlfriend
Of this rhythm and of this rhyme
Is turn your face to the LIVING GOD
While there is still SOME TIME!!!

A Reefer Head

Tell me what defines a Reefer Head
Come on tell me don't you know
Is it one who needs a tantalizing buzz
So his wildest side can show

Does a Reefer Head need to go down below
To get his real groove on
Or can he or she just BE THEMSELVES
And still do hard core porn

Come on talk to me about a Reefer Head
Can they go ONE DAY without
Will it make you shake
And maybe go and take
Away your sweetness . . . Without a doubt

Oh I ROCK and ROLL from a NATURAL HIGH
And I'm on it ALL the time
No there is no cost "I" have to pay
Not one Dollar . . . Quarter . . . Nickel . . . Or Dime

Oh I'm floating right now
On this HIGH of mine
No mere words can not describe
But for all those Reefer Heads holding on
KING JESUS you better find

For He'll SHOCK that TASTE right out your mouth
Of this I guarantee
And then my friend . . . You'll see THE LIGHT
And KNOW that you are FREE

Lord,

I exalt and adore you each and every day.
I thank you for waking me up this morning and starting me on my way.
I praise your holy name and take pleasure in your delight,
when the angels on high encircle you in sweet harmony,
oh, what a beautiful sight!

I love you, Lord!
I worship, honor, and obey.
I thank you, Lord, for the many blessings you have bestowed upon me.
I don't know what else I could say.
Perhaps if I had one thousand tongues
I could thank you for the peace you give me, my health, and my strength,
and for all you have allowed me to achieve.
Or, perhaps I would go to greater length
to thank you for my family, my home, my life.
Dear Lord, I do humbly receive ALL of
These blessings!
But I could never possess enough tongues to say
how much I appreciate what you have brought about.
You are magnificent, wonderful, marvelous, omnipotent...
And there was never any doubt!

Lord,
Help me to bear this cumbersome burden.
Lord,
Sometimes I feel so all alone.
However, let me be ever so mindful
You sit high on your throne.

I ask you to comfort me in my darkest hour.
Lord, I will learn to depend on you.
Lord, spring forth your mighty power.
I must put my trust in all that you do.

I Love You So Much

God I love you so much, for it is in you that I will trust
You've done so many amazing things
That my commitment to you is a must
Lord I am learning, so much about you through your word
Use me as a vessel, so I can ensure that your word is heard
There's a host of folks who still don't understand, they still can't see
How serious I am about the relationship, you have with me

Jesus teach me, give me direction so that I can clearly understand
What it is I'm suppose to be doing, in accordance with your plans
Each and everyday, the manifestation of you becomes clearer to me
And the more I thirst for the knowledge of you; you become plainer to see
I know I need to invest more time, in order to grow strong in your word
My attraction to you God, was based upon what I've heard

I feel so blessed, to know I'm connected with the loveliness of you
And through the power of prayer, I feel honored having you to pray to
I just want to give back, for all of the good things you've done for me
And share you with the world, so that everyone can live life abundantly
Life can sometimes be difficult, but I'll continue to lift your name in praise
Because I know, through your grace and mercy there will be brighter days

So thank you God, for keeping me securely wrapped in your arms
Thank you for removing my fears, and for making me strong
I know now, that you continue to bless us in spite of our ways
You gave yourself as a living sacrifice, so I lift you up in praise
And let me say, thank you Jesus, for all of the lives that you've touched
And make no mistake about it Jesus . . . I Love You So Much

Walking In Somebody Else's Shoes

Most of the things that happen to us
Happen when we disobey the rules
The result of it can be very costly
With the decisions that we choose

There is always someone who is worse off
With the situation they find themselves in
Perhaps clinging to life or praying for mercy
Or for someone to be their friend

Within a blink, who would think
Their luck would go the wrong way
That's the time to call on Jesus
And get down on your knees and pray

No, don't expect the sky to burst open
Causing ornaments to fall off the shelves
Just realize those changes that occurred
You alone couldn't have done yourself

It could be food from a stranger
Or advice that invokes positive thought
Whatever it is, it'll be priceless
Something that money couldn't have bought

It's not good for us to look down on others
Because of the situation they may be in
Because you never know when that day may come
When you're asking for forgiveness for your sins

So be very careful when laughing at others
About the conditions that caused them to lose
Because you'll never know when that day may come
When you find yourself, walking in somebody else's shoes

A Willing Servant

I am willing Lord, to serve you
In any way I can
I give you all my hopes and dreams
My desires and my plans

I give you all those things I fear
That haunt me when I sleep
The things so deep within my heart
That none but you have seen

My troubles and my trials
That I can't handle on my own
The fear that I'd have no one
And I would end my days alone

With a willing heart I'll serve you
There is no God but you
No matter what life brings to me
I give my heart and soul to you

When There's No One Left To Turn To

When there's no one left to turn to
And you bear sin's heavy load
You're exhausted from life's pressures
Wishing you could just go home

But Jesus walks the road ahead
of where your feet will walk upon
He knows the paths, the twists and turns;
the trials yet to come

He know your pain and sorrow,
and your need to have it end
Knows you yearn for freedom,
and your need to have a friend

When you do decide to trust Him,
you will then become His child
He will straighten out your paths
and walk with you every mile

And you will soon discover
when you take Him by the Hand
That He was always waiting for you,
you just had to take a stand

He is always there beside you,
anytime of night or day
With open arms to carry you
when life brings more than you can take

Forgiving and forgetting
when in repentance you're bowed low
Loving arms will lift you up
when it comes your time to go

Someday we will join Him,
and hear the angels sing
Just keep looking up and listening
for the day He calls your name

It can't be very far away
from the signs we see today
But we are to bloom where we are planted
until we're caught away

Jesus Our Assurance Plan

Comes with complete Benefit Package: salvation,
Forgiveness of sin,
Eternal life, divine health, peace of mind, divine protection,
Prosperity, wisdom, deliverance, …
Non-Cancelable policy; Premium paid in full for you,
Regardless of age or color or background.
Equal opportunity for all who would accept and believe
And confess Jesus Christ as Lord.

Most people make plans for Insurance
To safeguard against destruction or damages:
Auto; Health; Life; Homeowners; Renters;
Mobile Home;
Medical;
Boat; Flood; Motorcycle; Condo; Contractors;
Farmers; Business;
Church and even Beach home insurance.

Plans for the soul, however, are a different tune

You hear it daily on TV or radio; by email or letter;
On the job or at the gym;
"Invite Jesus as your personal Savior"
"Confess Him as Lord right now while you have time"

You hear it and read it; you see it and think about it;
And yet, you say within yourself,

"How do I KNOW there is life after death?"

Wisdom speaks and says to you this day,
"It is better to die having both
Assurance and Insurance, than to die in your sin,
Having, mere Insurance, alone."

…For today…. for tomorrow…just in case…do it now…

Okay I Hear You!

But no weapon formed against me shall prosper
No matter WHAT you say
I am of the tribe of The Lion, not a liar!

And further more, if you don't see my worth
It only means that I am more valuable than "anything"
YOU have ever seen!

Behold! The hand made work of the Master
Fashioned in His image and His likeness
Wonderfully made

I am a "good-for-something" w-o-m-a-n
Blessed and highly favored
And YOU can't stop me!

Wait until He gets through with me
The best is yet to come, ha!
But… I Hear you!

Lighten Your Load

Sometimes when you’re headed to your destiny
You fall among thieves
Who strip you, beat you and leave you wounded
And you cry – Lord help me please
So allow me to be the Good Samaritan
Who poured in the oil and the wine
To heal and bandage your wounded soul
And hold your hand in mine
I’ll carry you on my shoulders
Until you are strong again
Next time we’ll go down the road together
Just in case the devil is around the bend
I’ll help you get on your feet once more
So don’t think this is the end of the road
Standing together we’ll put ten thousand to flight
God sent me to lighten your load

Behind The Mask

Thank God we have Maybelline
Fashion Fair and the like
All the cosmetics known to man
To help us look just right
We wear our stilettos, wigs, braids and weaves
And all the many things that we can buy
That’s supposed to enhance our self-esteem
Because we must accomplish so much before we die
Some of us are professional women
And some maids, housewives and cooks
We have nice cars and even nice homes
And many are impressed by the way we look
But I had a dark, dark secret
One you couldn’t see on my face
My self esteem was severely shattered
By all the abuse I had learned to take
I lived in fear behind a mask
That was not plain for others to see
My life had constantly been shattered
By consistent infidelity
Yet, by God’s grace I raised my children
And even preached the gospel to man
But no one could see beyond my mask
Shielding the horrendous pain I was in
I helped so many others
With the problems in their lives
But since everyone saw me as strong
Well, my pain I had to hide
The mask got way to heavy
And my prison I could no longer bare
I had to stop helping others
And concentrate on my own welfare
It took some time and a lot of tears
To change the way I was
But the God I serve stayed so near
And surrounded me with His love
Now I no longer wear my mask
That hindered me from being free
Because in spite of all the outward adornment
The person you see now, is truly ME.

Beautiful Women

God made beautiful women
in so many different ways.
There’s one for every occasion,
season or holiday.
Small hands to fit
into tiny spaces-
big lips to kiss
all “special” faces.
Wide hips or
small breasts-
you should always stand tall
above the rest.
Dark skin, light skin-
love the skin that you are in.
Thick thighs or skinny thighs-
you’re still beautiful in my God’s eyes.
Eyes of brown, green
or blue-
always remain to yourself “true.”
Big feet or small feet
for God’s cause they’ll help you stand.
Small, medium, large or in between-
God still holds onto your hand.
Look into the mirror
at the beauty within yourself-
for at the end of each new day
sometimes that’s all that’s left.

Who are we to criticize
the handiwork of God?
We all shall pass each test.
for through the eyes of God our Father,
we’re “first”, not second best.

So let your beauty shine each day
as He guides you through this land
and realize each tiny “flaw” we see
was still part of His plan.

By Suzanne B. Lester

Because of “His” Presence

May each person who looks into your eyes today
see the love of Jesus flowing in their way.
May each person who touches your hand
feel the love of Jesus as you take a stand.
May each person with whom you share a smile
realize that they can, indeed, hang on a little while.
May each person whose path you come across
realize with God they gain instead of having loss.
May each person whose tears you wipe away
realize that God will always make a way.
May each person whose burden you choose to share,
realize that there is always someone who cares.
May each person for whom you bow and pray
realize that God still loves them even when they stray.
May each person whose life you choose to bless
realize the joy you have in Christ whom you profess.
May each person whose life you seem to treasure
realize that knowing Christ is one of life’s great pleasures.
May each person you hold within your arms
realize each day is blessed with more of God’s great charms.
May each person God sends into your presence
just be blessed even more because you have His “presence.”

A Woman's Worth

You ask me what you’re worth -
I tell you -
“Look upon my hands.”
For scars that are there say more than words ever can.
You ask me what you’re worth -
I tell you -
“Look upon my head.”
For wounds that speak “I love you” is all that need be said.
You ask me what you’re worth -
I tell you -
“Look upon my side.”
For a sword was thrust, blood and water flowed so in me you could confide
You ask me what you’re worth -
I tell you -
“Look into my eyes.”
For all the love I feel for you I admit I can’t deny
You see- before the world was framed I knew you
I smiled when I looked upon your face
A beautiful little girl with eyes like mine, so full of love and grace
A smile that lit a dreary room - tears to reveal a tender heart
I knew I would pay any price so we would never be apart
I knew I could not live without you so I sought a way to you
And believe me daughter to win your heart there is nothing I did not do
Why do all this you ask me - why suffer so much pain?
Don’t you know you are worth more to me than any riches I attain?
You are of great value, for I created you and formed you with my hand
And then I placed in you a desire to know me and seek my wondrous plan
You have great worth my daughter, a high price was paid for you
For the enemy came looking and asked what I would do
How much would you pay? What is she worth? The enemy at last did cry.
This is how much, how much she is worth-
I stretched out my arms and died.

Jesus

Hebrews 12:2

^{looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Letting Go

I’m convinced I don’t praise you enough God - at least that’s what I was told
And my prayers are passionless and fruitless and the fire in me is now cold
I’m convinced I don’t sing enough for you and listen to music that’s sinful
And my discernment is at an all-time low and my hearing of your voice is dull
I’m convinced I don’t pray enough, read my bible or encourage all my friends
And I tried to tithe when you said I should but in that I failed again
I’m convinced I don’t have this all together, I ask, am I even saved?
But I’ll keep working until I get it right - until my charges have been waived
I’m convinced I just don’t do enough Lord so I’ll work harder for the cause
I’ll keep striving to perfect my righteousness and somehow gain your applause

Then suddenly without warning I heard your voice cut through the lies
With authority and gentleness I heard you firmly reply -
“It’s not what you do that validates who I am
It’s not your righteousness or your works that has made me the spotless lamb
I came to take away your sin and wash you white as snow
So Child it is your self-righteousness I ask you to let go
When you strive and press to do good works for me
Others are not seeing the glory that can be
For others are looking upon you and seeing flesh puffed up in pride
So what I ask of you is to allow your flesh to die
Let me resurrect in that place and do great works through you
So others can see the righteousness I bring and how I make lives new
Let go of reputation and be content with being mine
For you will see this is the work of the cross - my wonderful holy design!”

A Bird's Eye View

My blind eyes are dim and confused
yet from a birds' eye view,
I can see the signs of the end of time.
I hear the faint whisper of the wind
spread the news through the trees!
I watch as the apple worm stretch his body by faith
peak around, listen for that Angelic trumpet sound.

My blind eyes are dim and confused
yet from a birds' eye view,
I can see the signs of the end of time.
I hear the nestling in the tree, chirping happily!
Little birdie in the tree, hearken unto me!
Don't be shy take to the sky, Is the master coming by and by?
without fear, she dance a demonstration in the sky.
She shreak through her trumpet beak "Soon, soon, she said,
our creator is coming back soon!

Write the vision while it is day while it is night by candlelight.
Write the vision as you kneel and pray
Whatever it is that your inner eye see
write the vision as the Holy Spirit gives you Love, Peace, Joy & Liberty
And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and make it plain upon
tables that he may run that readeth it, write the vision, whether your gay or feeling gloom,
keep on writing even while the day is doom, whatever it is that your inner eye see,
Write the vision as the Holy Spirit gives you, Love, Peace, Joy & Liberty

Someone Special

I have someone special and dear to me
He is like a second father to me .....
I don't know what it is but it is something special about him...
He's been there ever since I was born .....
I bet he even changed my pamper once...
He cares very much about everything I say and do...
That you can see the God in him...
When I am feeling low he makes me feel better...
We are just like macaroni and cheese....
Very close....
No matter day or night he's always there for me...
I know he keeps me in his prayers...
I guess you are wondering who my someone special is...
He is you Uncle Curtis

I Forgot

I forgot about you
and it messed me up bad,
I didn't bring you with me
and that's what's so sad
At that moment,
at that time
it was all about me
I feel so ashamed,
because now I know
without you, I would not be
How could I forget!?
you were right with me
There, just by my side
The blessings,
the anointing
is now destroyed
all because of my foolish pride
Why couldn't I remember to put you first in this?
Why didn't I put myself aside?
Lord, I pray that you will help me not miss the fact
That for you I live, and die
Help me to remember Lord
Who and who's I am,
so I won't ever have to regret...
Thank you Lord,
I know you'll come through
Before I soon forget

By Shene Aviles

On the Inside

I hate you,
You have turned a wonderful person into a monster!
You have taken someone I truly love into the foulest of scum
Destroyer of that was good that lies within
You may have destroyed her
But you will not destroy me!
She can still be saved from you
be it not too late
She sees that which was bad as good
and good as bad
Killing her Godly spirit,
how dare you!
I do not fear, for you...
you will be destroyed yourself!
I pray that she will not
fall into your trap
Crushing the temple where God dwells,
as you destroy his home
he will destroy you and your home,
for the time is at hand
when he will be back
to receive what is his,
and as for you,
you will be no more.

By Shene Aviles

Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart.
Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.
Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.
PSALM 119:34-37 (NIV)

A Prayer for Obedience

I want to be yours Lord
To walk in your light.
But often I wonder if my soul is right.
I ask for your mercy, forgiveness and sight,
To see disobedience in my life’s flight.

How many times must I drop to my knees?
Waiting to hear that with me you are pleased.
I know in my heart that I long for your touch.
Your sweet gentle spirit is needed so much.

Counsel me Lord on what steps to take next.
Wisdom and strength to fill my plate.
Words on my tongue I want put there by you.
No other friend or master will do.

So I will continue to drop to my knees,
Whisper your name and beg you to please.
Hear all my cries, my praises and joy
Not just for today but for evermore.

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20 (NIV)

The Visitors

I heard the knock and opened the door, barely knowing just what to say, or how to embrace the guest who already knew, all of my qualms for today. With a heavy heart and wearied mind, I could barely utter the words - to welcome the friend who came by surprise to comfort me once more.

HOLY SPIRIT… thanks for visiting me.

I boiled the water and brewed some tea so we could sit down for a chat. Just Thee and me, no one else was there - then PEACE rung the bell. I poured the tea not knowing where to start, there were so many things to share. Spirits’ first advice was not to worry because God truly cared. The warmth that filled my body I wasn’t really sure if the tea was performing its usual task, or the Spirit liberating me once more. My thoughts flowed as easy as breathing when Peace began to say -“Fret not the Lord is with you, now lets begin to pray”.

We thanked God for his mercy, we thanked him for his love, and

praised him for his wondrous works from heaven up above. While praying for God’s guidance - in all our trials today, we even talked about the things we didn’t take time for yesterday. A teen now in trouble, a parent very ill, a friend has lost his way that we hold so very dear. And when our prayers were over, before my guests could leave, I asked just one more question -

Holy SPIRIT will you abide with me please?

I Am Here

I was sitting alone at home one day
My spirtual life at an emergency low
So many I love have gone from my life
I feel like I had nowhere my love to bestow
I felt so lonely and deserted by all
Even my Lord I was beginning to fear
Then I felt my heart touched by His love
And a wonderous thought, "My Child I am Here!"
"Your friends that are gone, left for a reason
For that same reason you are still here
They're trying to follow just when to lead
Remember I'm in your heart to stay
And no matter who goes and leaves you alone
You can know-I won't go away!"
Rest in my Peace, Child of Mine
Live for me and have never a fear
When you're down in the spirit just look above
Rest in my Peace- I am Here!"

Real Love

What is Real Love
What is Sweet Love
Love is Unconditional
That God has for us
What is Real Love
What is Sweet Love
Even when you feel by yourself
When you feel you did wrong
Love is unconditional
Which God has for us
When you feel like you can't do anything
When you feel like no one cares
God has done great things for us
He gave us unconditional Love
Love is Unconditional
That God has for us
What is Real Love
What is Sweet Love
That is unconditional Love
God has for us
I realized that unconditional Love
Comes from God
Real Love
Sweet Love
That is what God has for us

Life Is A Game

Life is like a game of chess you must move the right pieces,
You must treat life sort of like a thesis,
The choices you make is the main factor,
This will conceal your pain in life or your laughter,
Never make a permanent decision out of a temporary situation,
Never base your life on any speculation,
Always in life follow your first mind,
When it comes to appointments always be on time,
The realest things in life are the things we can’t see,
These are the things that mean the most to me,
We can’t see the clouds but we feel the effects,
We can’t see God but we know that He protects,
Always move in silence and never with violence,
When it comes to chaos and confusion God has zero tolerance,
Men listen to your wives they are your backbone,
They make us to be kings of our throne,
When you give and share with others God really loves that,
Whenever you need God He will always have your back,
Respect your parents and you will live long on the earth,
If you abandon the laws then your life will be cursed,
Life is not hard it’s very simple and plain,
You must have a strong mental state because “Life Is A Game”.

Live Your Life

Little boys and girls I cheer for you very often,
It’s hurts me to see young bodies in a coffin,
Please don’t die before your time,
The shortness of life wasn’t done by design,
We basically are controllers of our own fate,
We are the victims of our own mistakes,
We must always possess in our heart endless compassion,
There’s a time for business and a time for relaxing,
No matter what you do always be the best,
When you stay positive you will see the progress,
The sun shines on the just and the unjust,
But there’s only one set of people that the Lord can truly trust,
Work hard never take the easy way out,
Always ask for advice whenever in doubt,
Be who you are not who you’re not,
Always remember it’s only one life that we got,
If we do good on earth we will experience life eternal,
Then life won’t be judged from the external,
Many people lost their lives so we could exist,
Don’t take it as a loss use it as a gift,
Edify your brothers and sisters by the way you walk,
Then they will believe in the words that you talk,
Whatever you do make sure you do it for the right,
Take it one day at a time and just “Live Your Life”.

Take Me Back

Take me back to the 10 cent movies, to only having 1 pair of shoes and one
outfit to go to school, church and work. To when you chastised a child for
doing wrong he thought twice about doing the same thing again,
Screaming child abuse was not an option. Take me back to when you got
your first big wheel. Take me back to real Hip-Hop Music you listened 2
and didn’t have to hear b this and b that to the Curtis Blow, Al
Green, Jimmy Hendrix, Africa Banbada, Public Enemy day’s music that
made you dance and feel good about yourself. Take me back to the early
years of Michael Jackson classic, Mike you know the real black Michael
Jackson. Take me back to having prayer in the school, to when it was safe
to go to school, to when you couldn’t wait to go to school not because it
was a cute or sexy female/male was in your class but because you couldn’t
wait to get home so you could show your mother, father, or guardian what
you learned that day. Take me back to Martin Luther King Jr. I have a
dream speech days, to Harriett Tubman, Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson,
Cashes Clay, Merry McCloud Bathroom, Cidney Potiea days, to the old 72
duce and quarter days, to the phrase the family that prays together stays
together, to when you had a problem in the street you fought it out fist to
fist 1 on 1 without weapons the best man or woman won. Take me back
to the Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird days,
to the day when we had a real honest all about peace type of president.
That’s all I’m asking for is take me back.

Everything's Good

My day goes good because of you. I can walk through some of the toughest
neighborhoods. It don’t matter what time it is or where it is and have no
problem because of you. Some are scared of the hood when some drive
threw the hood they lock their doors because they don’t have you in them.
If you are not from here or never been through the hood you let the
stereotypes of the hood screw your mind up. I guess they don’t pay
attention to the saying “I walk threw the valley of the shadow of death I
will fear no evil”. Everything goes good because of you. When I got that
turn off notice, behind in my bills, got laid off, or fired from my job, got
involved in some he say she say mess, got some bad news and didn’t
know how to cope with it I just seeked your guidance and in a matter of
seconds, minutes, hours, or days everything will be good because of you.
Everything goes good because of you my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The Valley of Roses
(Hebrews 11:1)

In the valley of roses
where beauty enchanted the heart
Roses bloom the fragrance of love
as their colors made visions of art

Admirers came from far and near
just to get a glance
And if you listened you could hear
the song of the wind as they danced

Except there was one rose
that never bloomed like the others
So when he saw admirers arrive
he would hide and stay undercover

The Lord watched this and asked the un bloomed rose,
"Why do you hide behind the petals of others
instead of letting your beauty be known?"

The rosebud wept as he replied,
"I am embarrassed and ashamed
of not being as pretty as the others
and as you can see I have yet to bloom
so no beauty could ever come of me"

As He gently lifted the rosebud’s head the Lord said,
"You will never know what I have planned for you
       if you don't keep your faith
All that I create is beautiful
       but sometimes for blessings you must wait
So lift your head as high as you can
       and remember that I have special plans for you
And just because blessings are first given to others
       doesn't mean I left out you"

And so the rosebud stood up straight
and proudly faced the sun
Remembering what the Lord had said
that one day his blessing would come

Many days and nights went by
but that rosebud never gave up
When he felt down he looked up in the sky
and remembered his Savior's love

And then one glorious morning the rosebud bloomed
into the most beautiful rose ever created
And all the other roses admired his beauty
and wished that their blessing had waited

And by the thousands, people stood in line
to see the one rose that stood out from the rest
And it was then when this rose remembered the time
when he thought the Lord loved him less

So he said to the Lord,
"Thank you Lord, but there's one thing that I must know.
Why was I the only one who struggled?
You could’ve easily let me bloom with the others,
but instead you stunted my growth?"

And the Lord said,
"The path that you took was a choice
       that I had you make
It was a journey that brought you closer to me
       and it also tested your faith
Although others were blessed before you
       it didn't mean I loved you less
It was all part of my perfect plan
       the rose that was last to bloom in my valley
Would be the rose that I truly blessed.”

The Willow Tree
(Psalm 71:18)

Once upon a time long, long ago
There stood a tree on top of a hill
And if you let me explain just how I know
A tree can do God’s will

This tree was old and battered
It had endured a lot of storms
The leaves were torn and tattered
Because of the insects that lived on

Lightning had hit it a couple of times
Because the trunk had its share of cracks
And it gently leaned to one side
But somehow it stayed intact

The leaves hung towards the ground
But with the slightest breeze
It reached desperately for the sky
And it sang the song of victory
As the gust of the wind blew by

And then one day a child came up to the tree
And stared at it all around
And said, “Mr. Tree you look so-o-o tired
Why don’t you just … fall down?”

The tree smiled at the child and said
“I know I look like I ought to give up
Because I’m just holding on by the strength of my roots
But I’m just a humble servant of the Lord
Doing what He planted me here to do”

And the child looked puzzled and then she said
“But how can a tree serve the Lord?
You’ve been here for many years
And you have done, no more”

The tree smiled at the child again and said
“I know my leaves hang towards the ground
But my spirit reaches the sky
And I know my trunk doesn’t have too much time
Before it completely divides

But my roots are strong so I must hold on
Until God says my work here is done
I serve the Lord by providing refuge
For those who seek shelter from the rain and sun

I am a willow tree
And I thank God for my simple life
For all that is living in heaven and on earth
Should be thankful for Jesus Christ

You see, the same storm that cracked my trunk
Provided water to quench my thirst
And the same insects that uses me as nourishment
Is just how the cycle of life works

I am a tree from my roots to my leaves
And God has given even me a gift
And I plan to use it for as long as I can
As I sing of spiritual bliss”

“That’s why each time
I hear the wind blows
I reach towards the sky

Because He is
And will always be
The reason why I try”

The child looked at the tree differently this time
As she slowly walked away and said to herself
“I’m going to serve the Lord just like that tree
Starting from this day forward.”

Listen
Proverbs 1:5 A wise man will hear and increase learning,
And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel…

We can’t disobey God and expect to have peace and Joy within.
We can’t live a fairy tale life ignoring there’s an end.
We can’t become strong if we haven’t first been weak.
We can’t be God’s messengers if fame is all we seek.
We can’t allow the devil to keep us on hold.
We can’t be spirit led if we’re taking the wrong road.
We can’t praise God sincerely out of the same mouth we cuss.
We can’t be pure if our hearts are full of lust.
We can’t ignore the fact it’s by God’s grace we live another day.
We can’t call ourselves Christians when we don’t even pray.
We can’t fool God even though we can fool man.
We can’t escape our purpose when our lives are already planned.
We can’t expect to be blessed full of self-righteousness.
We can’t resist temptations if we keep failing the test.
We can’t be God’s leaders if we’re devil breeders.
We can’t doubt the Bible, but believe in physic readers.
We can’t be Christ like if we’re full of pride.
We can’t take the credit when it’s meant for God to be glorified.
We can’t live eternal if we’re not born again.
We can’t become saved if we don’t let Jesus in!

God’s Purpose
Proverbs 31:30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

What is your purpose for me Lord?
I want to be the woman you created me to be.
I want to fulfill your purpose while in this flesh
as my spirit waits to be set free.
What is your purpose for me Lord?
You called on me when I was lost.
You bless me even though I’m unworthy,
Lord I’m willing to deny myself and carry my cross.
What is your purpose for me Lord?
You washed away the corruption I had within.
You filled me with the Holy Spirit, giving me the
power to overcome my sins.
What is your purpose for me Lord?
I came this far because of your grace.
Please keep on guiding me towards you Jesus,
I’m craving to see your face.
What is your purpose for me Lord?
I want to be used by you.
I know suffering is involved, but winning lost
souls I’m determined to do.
What is your purpose for me Lord?
I want my tongue to say what you created it to say.
I want to speak your word; I want to be your messenger.
Lord I want to be a woman who glorifies you for the
rest of my living days.
What is your purpose for me Lord?

My Heart’s Forum

Today is the day oh Lord that I rededicate my existence to you
Convey to the world that I have not been true to you
For I consented to become a pawn of demons
And permitted my flesh to be mesmerized by men
For my will was feeble and I sacrificed my foundation for pleasure
The measure
Of your love is nonexistent
Wonderfully infinite
And is not adjacent
To man’s ability to comprehend
Who shall need or desire the love of men
When your grace lives within
My heart

Day One

Now I must say that I’ve been around
I’ve turned up the bottle’s volume to dangerous bounds
I’ve done my share of drugs
And claimed my share of clubs
But nothing can compare to this infinite love
My first day holding the Spirit cannot be explained
All I will attempt, is what is contained
I immediately felt the love, which I did before
But the degree surpassed understanding, invading iniquity’s door
The second element noticed, was the sturdy mount of strength
Debilitating my fears, untangling my labyrinth
And what else is this – a more pronounced faith
I knew I was saved before but this stamp seals the case
And right there coming forth, unnoticed at first
twas this peace of no end, another piece of my armor’s worth
This is the best that I can do
For I cannot tell nor show you
What the streets failed to prove
A false sense of happiness concludes
I’ve never been happier, never been so forth-standing
Will never be an antler on the beast’s head of guilt and reprimanding
But I will say that no matter what is within the false encounters,
It cannot compare to the blessings which lies behind the door of tomorrows

Looking Through the Looking Glass ~

Reiterating... While venturing through this adventure of life~
In Retrospect... through the depth... without reject and without reflect!
~You are at present immune of all of the hurt and pain...shockabsorbant...anti-resistant with extreme capabilities to withstand, without going insane... God is still on the Brain!
Take a glance closer...surprise onlookers! Don't mean to brag or even boast...
In my life... God is still the Ultimate Host!

There are those whom look up to me to Inspire~ Therefore...In Christ, my objective is to move higher! There are times in my life, when I could use a jump start!
On some occasions I could have really used a heart to heart!
Within this mirror I see those of us whom are filled with inspirational desires.
Within this frame, I also see sadist; whom are overworked and long overdue retired!
They make ongoing stagnating attempts to deter others from motioning higher!
They don't understand that, in the life of a Christ-like being such actions just adds fuel to our fire!
Let's look a bit closer...whom else or what else do you see? I see inquisitive people-
looking at me! Am I crazy or are they nuts! The Labels are mutual... there are no-if's and's or but's!
Now look a bit deeper and focus a bit closer... You may now notice that there is no
reflection! Now, within this frame~ God is the powerful key to this connection!
I see strange, curious and mischievous people within the frame of this mirror!
Confidently knowing that with God in this picture, "show no fear"... there is no
need for terror ! God leaves no room for error!
With all of the above said: Adversion givers get on your job! If this is all that you've got~ It sure enough isn't a heck of alot!
Now you must adjust your vision and take a closer look through this looking glass~
Venture on and reiterate through this odyssey of life...
reminisce slowly or motion through fast!
Sadist one's can take my freedom for a moment, but not forever!
"If it don't take me out... it just make me better!"
They may spread their rumors of fiction, non-fact~
Been there before, Yes... I've done that ! I've overcame and I am still in tact!
For God is with me... now Who ???? Can be against me!!!!
You must understand that can't NO! man stop my show!
Contrary, to the fact~ I don't cease... "I Grow!"
With Christ, no man can make you suffer~ the infliction of affliction just make you...stronger and makes you tougher!
Never fear continue to be meek and humble! I must say again adversity givers~
"Get on your job!" You can take...NO! I'll give you the thrill of the moment!
Now, don't trip forever and don't get it twisted! "Get it back together!"
Forget about the mirror, now look into my eye's...
see and feel, "that I'm ready for...whatever!" " If it don't put me out... it make's me better! You can take the fame~ I'll even give you the game... I'll tell you this- I ain't
never backed down from no man... sane or insane!
Can't no man stop my show! Don't you see... with Christ... I Grow!
Sucker Sadist try to make me suffer! It just makes me stronger and makes me tougher!
Be it Doc. Jeck or Mr. Hyde~ I'll give you a little leeway, now step aside!
If it makes you feel better... you can picture me gone; maybe then you will stop singing my song!
When I look through the mirror of my life~ it couldn't get any realer...
I ain't never backed down from no man and forsure, I fear no guerrilla!
So... keep adding that fuel to my fire! Because all you are doing is taking me higher!
With Christ no man can make you suffer, just make you stronger and make you tougher!

“The Looking Glass House”
An extensive psychoanalysis

In this, glass house... I see a garden... it is a garden of live flowers.
Within this glass frame in this live garden..."No", man can devour!
Over this garden God has granted his ultimate protection and power!
There is no second guesses and no doubt about it... this garden belongs to the Lord!
When I swiftly motion to glance deeper, internally within this garden...
I see roses... they are progressively, thriving, unitarily, intertwined, around the blade of an
upright, planted, standing sword.
These roses are thriving with togetherness in their stage of life... One swift, twisted move
a split stem would occur...by the blade of the foundation of sharpness, would be a sudden
fate, by contact with this knife of life. These roses are nourished by Gods light
Within this glass house... we don't throw stones...this is home!
Steppin Stones? or Stumbling Blocks? I can't be what I am...until you be what you ought
to be! Glass House Prerequisite: THE PAST: Yes! Let GO!
THE FUTURE: utilize...your know!
Use the deeds of yesterday as a map! Let's not nap! "This is the beginning of the rest of your life! In order to accomplish achievements of tomorrow... put on your thinking cap!
Achievement begins in your mind! By reasons of tomorrow, yesterday,
and today, they are very much intertwined.
Within this glass house in this garden a shinny cross stands front center of the roses...
casting off reflections which are Godly, Pious, Divine and Devout... Nothing ventured...
Nothing gained... to live or to live without! Inside of this Glass house, God almighty is forevermore praised and congratulated...There is no one... No none! That the enemy has stalemated! God has separated the genuine...from the fake...paralyzed the enemy from the head to the waist...
now all this spirit can do is run! Enemy flee!
Now the transition and the transformation of life has begun!
Momentarily penned...at present...free at last now! Wow! There is in totality 100% independence in this glass house...and how! So enemy, "What you gonna do Now?"

God "appoints", protects, and supply for whom he authorize by the fruit of the spirit for his glass house here on earth... as well as in Heaven!
Psalm 15-1,2 Psalm 101-6 2 Corinthians 7-1 Isaiah 33-15,16 Ephesians 4-1,2

Got it! Get it!

FAITH IN GOD NEVER FAILS

HERE I AM WITH THE WRONG FAITH IN TIME
BELIEVING ON THINGS, WANTING THINGS TO BE MINE
NO FAITH IN THE CREATOR
DO I CARE IF HE EXISTS?
AM I STRIVING FOR HIS APPROVAL?
OR DOES HIS COMMANDMENTS I JUST DIS
DIS-RESPECT IS THAT ALL THAT THE LORD IS SUPPOSE TO GET
THAT'S ALL I GAVE YOU LORD, I DIDN'T SEE
MY LIFE FALLING APART, STARING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME
THE CARNAL PERSON CANNOT STAND
WHEN SELF EFFORTS NO LONGER MAKE A GRAND STAND
THE CROWD NO LONGER CLAPS
NO PAT ON THE BACK
NOW THE FLESH IS WORRIED, IT'S BEGINNING TO CRACK
I LEARNED THAT GOD'S FAVOR CAN'T BE BROUGHT
WITH CHEERING CROWD'S, OR SO I THOUGHT
BUT THE ONLY WAY IS THROUGH THE HEART

WHEN MY FAITH WAS IN PEOPLE,
THERE WAS NO JOY TO BE FOUND
AND MY FAITH IN STUFF STARTED TO LET ME DOWN
I HAVE A BIG HOUSE, I'VE TRAVELED AFAR
I HAVE PLENTY OF CLOTHES, I DRIVE A NICE CAR
BUT AS I LOOK AT THOSE THINGS, I CAN SEE
I LOST SIGHT OF WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE IMPORTANT TO ME
EVERYTHING WILL TURN TO DUST AND WAX OLD
I'VE GOT TO BE MORE CONCERNED WITH MY IMMORTAL SOUL
NOW I PRAY TO YOU LORD, I WANT A NEW LIFE
LIVING A NEW WAY AND ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST
NO MORE WILL I GLORIFY THAT WHICH IS LOST
I FIND IT TOO RISKY, DON'T WANT TO PAY THE COST
NOW I'M A NEW CREATURE, HOLY SPIRIT PREVAIL
I'M BELIEVING AND I KNOW THAT FAITH IN GOD NEVER FAILS

I WANT TO BE A SERVANT FOR YOU, STEPPING BACK &
LETTING YOUR LIGHT SHINE THROUGH
A SAINTLY SOUL WITH A BODY
JUST LIKE JESUS, REJECTED WAS HE
I MUST NOT LIVE TO PLEASE THE WORLD, BUT BE ALL GOD
CALLED ME TO BE
REMEMBERING THE SON OF MAN, HE HAD NO WHERE TO LAY HIS HEAD
GOING TO THE CROSS IN MY STEAD
HOW COULD I THINK THAT I AM BETTER THAN CHRIST
NO WAY, I'M NOT, BECAUSE I'VE ACCEPTED THE CHRISTIAN LIFE BEING PATIENT AND BELIEVING THAT GOD'S WILL CANNOT BE CHANGED
EVEN WHEN THE WORLD THINK'S MY FAITH IS REALLY STRANGE
A PECULIAR PEOPLE, CHRIST SET CHRISTIAN'S APART
SPECIAL AND ANOINTED SAINTS, DEAR TO GOD'S HEART
ENDURING THOSE SUFFERINGS, CHRIST BODY AS ONE
KNOWING THAT THERE'S A BETTER WORLD TO COME
BEING STEADFAST AND UNMOVABLE, YES WE MUST
LETTING OTHER'S KNOW THAT IN GOD WE DO TRUST
I THANK YOU LORD FOR LIFTING THE VEIL
NOW I'M TRUSTING AND BELIEVING
KNOWING THAT FAITH IN GOD NEVER FAILS

SAVED, SINGLE, CELEBATE, & SATISFIED

SAVE, SINGLE, CELEBATE, & SATISFIED
ENJOYING MY LIFE, TO CHRIST I'M TIED
READING GOD'S WORD & DOING GOD'S WORK
TIME PASSES ON & LONLINESS DOESN'T HURT
IT'S OKAY TO REJOICE IN THIS SEASON OF GROWTH
BEING SINGLE IS A BLESSING, IT IS NOT A CURSE
LET GOD ORDER YOUR STEPS & LISTEN TO HIS VOICE
SEEK HIS KINGDOM FIRST
SO YOUR MARRIAGE WON'T END IN DIVORCE
YES ONE DAY IT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DESIRE A MATE
BUT FIRST LOOK FOR FELLOWSHIP & FRIENDSHIP
NOT JUST A DATE
DATING DOESN'T ALWAYS GIVE YOU A PICTURE THAT IS TRUE
SOMETIMES THEY’RE ON THEIR BEST BEHAVIOR
FLATTERY IS USED TO GET THE BEST OF YOU
BUT LOOK AT HOW THEY ARE WITH FAMILY, WITH FRIENDS AND
AT CHURCH
THERE SHOULD BE A COMFORTABILITY WITH PRAYER
GOD SHOULD ALWAYS BE FIRST
OR IS THE RELATIONSHIP BASED ON PURE LUST
NOT WORRYING ABOUT GOD'S TRUTH
JUST SATISFYING US?
ONCE YOU STEP INTO SIN WORLD OF JUST FLESHLY
SATISFACTION
YOU CRUCIFY CHRIST AGAIN BY THAT ONE LITTLE ACTION
SO CHRISTIANS BE EVER MINDFUL THAT CHRIST IS ALWAYS AROUND
REMEMBER, YOU'RE HEAVENLY ROYALTY, HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR CROWN
WALKING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND GIVING GOD THAT GIFT
AND IN THE END YOU WON'T HAVE TO SAY "GOD WHAT IF?"
WHAT IF IN MY SEASON OF SINGLENESS I STAYED TRUE?
I DIDN'T LOSE FAITH AND I WAITED ON YOU?
MY LIFE WOULDN'T BE CHAOTIC AND PEACE I WOULD FIND
NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS THE SPIRIT OF LUST I DO BIND
AND WITH ANOTHER CHANCE I'LL WALK IN THE LIGHT
WITH JESUS BESIDE ME I'LL FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
NO MORE QUICK THRILLS OR LISTENING TO THE DEVIL'S LIES
WITH JESUS BESIDE ME, UNTIL MARRIAGE HE WILL KEEP ME SATISFIED
THE LORD KNOWS MY AGENDA AND I MUST NOT FAINT!
AS I GO WITH THE FLOW OF SINGLENESS AS A SAINT.
