| | INTRODUCTIO TO MY BOOK | | | | Saturday, August 23, 2008 (5:13 AM) | |
We all wonder, at some point in time, what it truly means to love and be loved. This book was created in love, about love and for love. It was created so that you may join me in my journey to find this unknown love. It is a story, a journal of my life from child to womanhood. As a young girl, on the brinks of many new emotions I had yet to explore, I began my journey. As I experienced new feelings and emotions, I wrote about them. I wrote of life, love and what I thought love to be. At the age of 14, I wrote my first poem. As I grew with each new experience in life, my poetry grew with me. In this book you will see my perceptions of what love was through the eyes of a young girl, a young woman, and through the eyes of a saved woman. My search for love took me through many triumphs and tribulations. I thought, on different occasions that I had finally found what many of us so desire. I thought I had found my true love. Many times I was wrong, yet I still searched to find this love so I could fill this strong void I felt in my heart. It’s funny, looking back on my life, I see now that the greatest love had been there all along. There were times when I felt there wasn’t any hope and times when I felt like giving up, but God was always there to bring me through. He was present in every aspect of my life but as a young girl who had fallen away from him and even a young woman, I didn’t realize it at the time.
Through each of my life’s experiences of love, pain and confusion I continued to write them down. There were many times throughout my life when God spoke to me through my poetry. He was showing me that he was there to love me, to comfort me and bring me happiness. He was reaching out to show me that he was there to give me a love much greater than what I could possibly find here on earth. God continued to reach out to me until one day I reached back. Through his ever- present love, he brought me back to him. He showered me with his love, as he did many times before. This time was different though, for my mind and heart were opened which allowed me to feel and experience his love to the fullest. The void I had been trying to fill all of these years was finally gone. God filled it with the most powerful love of all, His.
I hope in reading this it will give you hope and inspiration. I hope it will show you that you are not alone in your life’s journey. I pray you will see that no matter what you may be going through or have gone through in your journey, God is there. He is waiting and always reaching out to give you the greatest love of all. Be patient, for just as God has chosen for someone on earth to love you, he has also chosen the perfect time to bring that person to you. I pray that you seek and find God’s love first, for when you do your heart will be complete, as mine was when I found him once again. | | | 428 Views | 0  Thumbs Up | 1 Comment |  |

| | AN ANSWER TO PAIN | | | | Friday, August 8, 2008 (11:42 AM) | | AN ANSWER TO…
HOW DO YOUDEAL WITH PAIN
I have told you in my word
That you hold the power of the shield and sword
My child, you are not to deal with pain
Even through the thunderstorms with the cold drawn rain
You are to cast your cares upon me
Open up and allow me to see
Show me what is bottled up inside
Your fears, no longer will you have to hide
My child, of me, you can expect it all
For my child I will not let you fall
I will never fail you
Yet I will always save you
I am the one who has come to sanctify you
I have brought you the truth
I have brought you the light
I am the one that, for you, will put up the fight
How do you deal with pain you ask?
This for me is no task
It is not your job to deal with pain
It is not your job to worry yourself
Just call my name
And I will put your pain up on a shelf
I have called you to love
I have called you to praise
I have promised you, that with me, you will have no pain
So call my name
And everyday I will do the same.

| | HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH PAIN | | | | Friday, June 20, 2008 (7:24 AM) | | HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH PAIN
How do you deal with pain?
When it consumes you like the heat of a summers’ day
When all your life you’ve hidden it away
Then someone comes along and says it doesn’t have to be that way
Says be yourself you are a flower
You let go, then in a blink of an eye your world turns sour
How do you deal with pain?
When you lye in a sea of disparity
Overtaken with thoughts of uncertainty
How do you deal with pain?
When all the acts and words you thought to be true
Turn out to be lies simply fed to you
How do you deal with pain?
When it comes to pass
That preceding days
Were filled with misguided notions
Showered with false emotions
How do you deal with pain?
When all you thought was real in your life
Ends up in strife
How do you deal with pain?
If what you feel devours you spirit
If everyday you constantly feel it
How do you deal with pain?
When expectations of the one you love
Seemed not so far out of reach
When foreseen acts of the one you love
Appeared as though they would not end up breach
How do you deal with pain?
Like spoiling a child when you spare the rod
The trust and respect once had
Turns out to be a façade
How do you deal with pain?
How do you deal with pain
When you are dismembered of your crown
And your world gets turned up-side down
When on a pedestal, you once stood
And now you find yourself hiding under a hood
How do you deal with pain
How do you deal with pain?
