Sometimes u jus feel frustrated…overwhelmed…stiffled…rushed….lost….blah,blah,blah. And u jus don’t feel like shedding tears cuz when its all said and done, u’ll still be exactly where u are.
I work across the street from Trinity Church…and in commute from one building, 1 Wall, to another, 120 Broadway, I decided i’d go inside and sit down
I sat in the sanctuary….and didn’t know what to say. All that came out were two deep breaths, “wooooosaaaaaah” and “Lord, ya know how sometimes u jus feel frustrated…” Well I never did find the words to say to have this convo with God…but!…there was a song :-) Spirit Song…you kno that hymn “oh let the Son of God enfold you, with His spirit and His Love…lift ur hands in sweet surrender to His name….” (if not I have the link for the lyrics posted)
Well,I sat there….and sang, soflty to the Lord, as tourist quietly went in and out of the sanctuary. When I finally left, I felt a little lighter; my shoulders, not so tense…I was so very grateful…for a God who knows, me, His creation, way better than I ever could. Sometimes crying out doesn’t necessarily mean tears and yelling…. Thank you Jesus, for understanding my prayer…my cry, of no words….jus song.
In my opinion, this expresses his true personality; a kind hearted person with a warm and genuine smile…a man who enjoys a good time and a few laughs…someone who’s grateful for the simple things yet works hard and strives for success…and a splash of geeky, four-eyed fanboy for anime,90s cartoons n candy.
Now tell me what girl wouldn’t fall in love with that….
This Mornings Devotion
This morning I read, Our Daily Bread: Courageous Conversation, and it speaks on something my Mother has been telling me and teaching me all my life; it isn’t always what you say but how u say it. The devotion talks about how due to technology ppl are afraid and actually don’t know how to confront one another. This text helps to explain how Paul went to Peter (Galatians 2:11-21; emphasis on verse 11) with love and passion and spoke to him about his wrong. I’m constantly learning that regardless of whether we’re led to speak to someone about good or bad news, how we say it makes a world of difference.
its been a looooong while
Hey : )
I didn’t know how much I missed tumblr until I clicked “new post”
A few days ago I left the house with my younger brother and we road the train into the city together. He had one earphone in and one out. As we laughed and cracked jokes I took notice of what was playing on his ipod. He began to look the artist up and learn about him…found out what college he went to (my bro is like our older cousin/big sister..when they’re a fan of anything they’re BIG fans,lol) An artist that I genuinely like and also exposed him too, J.Cole.
Now, like I said, I like his music…but not everything. And its definately not the 1st thing I want to hear at 8am. Its crazy how in that moment I realized how much of an influence I have on my baby brother. I always knew my partner in crime, who’s 7yrs my junior, looked up to me but this moment made that fact vivid.
I have to be careful of what I do and say…how I act and handle situations and the decisions I make.
I don’t really want Stinka jammin to all of this guys music,especially not at 8am,lol …I think I’ll present some morning tunes alternatives… because I know for a fact, once I start up some good habits..he will too :-)
Now u kno that I couldn’t leave my musical rant without giving you a taste of who i REALLY am….one of my all time faves, Phyllis Hyman, sings Betcha by Golly Wow. I’ve loved this song since i was 5yrs old…and been singing it since then too! Pleeeease, enjoy this classic : )
Now this song, Alicia’s- Diary, expresses things too. He may be a little hesitant right now…slowly but surely he”ll realize “….only we know what is talked about baby boooy….”
More Expression……Corrinne Bailey Rae, she’s awesome! I love this song…im Breathless : )
