Some things I never expect
Some things I’m delighted by
My expectations are not that low
I just sometimes feel undeserving
Seriously, I do.
That feeling of being overwhelmed with delight continues
I was pleasantly surprised this weekend at my mum’s
It was just so homey and welcoming
It was just plain unbelievable what came through
I just had to say thank you
Yeah, yeah
So they're my family it's bound to happen
Not to the degree it did and continues to happen
It's just simple joy
Oh! If only I could express it all in words
Just found the word.......
Sublime!
Seems my fellow writers’ inspiration is on a break
How so?
Well, they haven’t been writing in a long time
A very long time by their standards, ages for me
How would one write save they felt the need to write?
You feel an urge to write something down
It’s a channel of pouring out your insides, neatly
That feeling, that push
Somehow it has to be there for one to write
Prose it may be, free verse, or whatever
Write! Write!
Those words echo in my head
When I start I seldom stop
Not all is channelled through one outlet
At times I write to friends
Sometimes I write a poem to lift someone’s spirit
Write I must
But alas!
My dear friends are not in the mood right now
They have too much on their plate
They feel they shouldn’t let their thoughts right now be known
They feel they’ve lost that inner light
They don’t feel like writing
So, Inspiration where art thou?
My friends need you
I’m overwhelmed with you
Why dost thou sit by side all day long
All night long thou art by my side also
Maybe there’s some verse you need me to share
Maybe there’s a thread I’m not seeing
Maybe It’s not you Inspiration
That’s by my side right now
It could be cupid
But how so?
When did we last meet Cupid?
When did I last follow thy arrow?
No, it is not thou
It is Inspiration that has made his abode in my hands
Cupid’s knocking
Will I let him in?
Only if Inspiration promises to make his rounds once again
For if Cupid were to stay here like Inspiration
Oh, what a tragedy that could be
For when last Cupid and Inspiration abode at my hand
I did not cease writing till I almost wrote a book
Then they just left
Trot the globe they must
So that we long for their seasonal company
For if they stay here many hearts’ light will dim
And I will no longer enjoy their untimely company
Unplanned visits they need to pay to each one of us
And stay not for long perchance vain we become with words
And our heart’s always laid out bare.
A fresh new day
Full of promise
Full of hope
Full of life
Don't let a morning pass without giving praise
Just the fact that it has broken is reason enough for praise
Life's a roller coaster
Life's throwing me lemons & I'm making lemonade.
This day ain't what I expected
It's what I've sometimes hoped for
It's actually what I want in a day
I'm smiling
I'm laughing
It indeed is a gift
I now understand why it is a day of the Lord
It's His will
He gave it to me
I am
He is
He was, He will be
He wishes me to be with Him always
I choose if I want to be with Him
He gives me that many opprtunities
That many opprtunities-daily
With each breath
With each moment I still can choose
I decided so many days ago
Each day is a joy
Yes, I may cry
Yes, I may feel sad
You may say I'm not joyous
My spirit rejoices
I know the shoulder always there for me
My guide always there
This day I will walk with Him
Like any other day
I choose to walk with Him
For as long as He will.
I’m in a battle field.
All I had to do was to state my faith and WHAM the devil started his tricks again.
I'm intelligent unlike him
I recognise his methods of attack
he's run out of new tricks
All are in a cycle and SO predictable
Why should something so small as practice separate us?
Practices are not what God searches but the spirit.
Yeah so we need to live life in the physical hence the need for rules
I feel like shouting out like Paul
Why should the law separate us?
Why should we allow a human creation to separate us?
NOTHING can separate us from the love of God
Whilst we are all fighting to justify our positions we don’t see the enemy
We make our neighbour our enemy
The enemy in the erstwhile is claiming victory
And why shouldn’t he?
Ur armour is not on
Your using ur opinion
You’re focusing on the past
And he will proclaim victory if we carry on this battle for long
You’re focusing on flesh
And would I be wrong if I said flesh has won over spirit
Flesh is n control
Spirit is under attack
But flesh is in control
STOP!!!!!!!!
Take ur Bible and your spirit will be the one in control again
He is ur neighbour not ur enemy
U both have a common enemy
Focus on that
If you both want to claim victory over the enemy this is what u should do
Agree ur guide
YES the BIBLE
And ATTACK from the angle u know best
And in no time the enemy is down and u’re back on your feet
In the spirit,
In control!!!!!!!
ALIVE IN VICTORY!!!!
Go read Ezekiel 33
It's all about hearing the word at His mouth.
There's a lot of conditioning that takes place in our lives
Don’t agree?
Look at the way you put toothpaste on your toothbrush
Check where you put your feet when you get out of bed
Worse, the 1st mail you look for on your pc
See?
Bottom line, there’s a lot of conditioning in our lives
However much we may want to deny it
It’s very difficult to rid our lives with routines
And so it is with how we view life situations
Change is sometimes very difficult
Especially when you were the leader of the pack
Instinct always wants to continue leading
Even if the pack is no more there
If the pack has a new leader you want to groom them to be a miniature you
It mayn’t be that bad but hey,
Let change take place
Let people grow up
Let people mature
You won’t always be there
Let them learn how to be self-sustaining just like you
As long as the rod is there for the plant to lean on
Chances are the spine will never be strong enough to support the plant when it bears fruit
The rod may remain for all of it’s life
Some won’t view it as peculiar
Coz that’s how they’ve always seen it
It won’t look normal when the rod breaks either
What won’t be normal is to see a full grown plant fall down coz it cannot carry the weight of its own fruit
Twisted analogy?
Not really
In life we need to let go and let the bruised kid get up on their own and figure out if they’ll cry or just wince with pain
Tough love it seems but we all need it
I’ve had it
I will let those under my umbrella know it
We all have to grow up some time
BUT…….
Grow on your own turf
Make your home in your own house
House rules are for your own house
Prune your own turf first then come tell me how to manage mine
Examples still apply in this day and age
BE an example and let others learn
Got lost somewhere BUT bottom line is
If a man wants fish, teach him how to fish so that you've fed him for a lifetime.
