For This
I've seen passion turn into pain...
Sadness into joy...
Life into death...
Only for the same lesson to remain;
Perservere!
Don't ever give up or settle for less.
I was told by a wise woman, "p.u.s.h, and you'll pass the test"
Meaning, Pray Until Something Happens
Have faith and watch how you become blessed.
But yet,
The struggles that life can manifest...
Can test the tolerance of any man, even at his best.
And it's easy to doubt, look around, and to think...
I've been through all that...
For this?
And the answer remains...Y-E-S, yes.
Just know that the LORD isn't done with you yet,
and HE has plans, goals, and a purpose...
For all of this.
Have a little faith.
-Flowriter
MARK 11:22-24
"Have faith in GOD," Jesus answered. I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have recieved it, and it will be yours.
Just a place where I let my mind free to speak the innermost feelings and thoughts of my soul

Dear GOD,
Forgive me LORD for all of the sins that I commit,
All the messages from you that I've ignored,
And all the paths that I've bent.
Straying from your love and wisdom,
Praying for prosperity...
only to be foolishly spent.
LORD, I repent.
Forgive me for not forgiving others.
Forgive me for diluting your temple...
by spreading my essence to many lovers.
Forgive me for the words of my mouth...
Not spreading your love and your word, but...
for spreading lies, mishaps, chaos, and doubts.
Forgive me for not being closer to you and always thinking about me.
Forgive me for rebelling against you and not being the man you made me to be.
Forgive me for not respecting your temple...Tattoo's, cigars, and liquor.
It's no wonder I'm not free.
Forgive me for judging others.
When I know it's YOUR job to judge them and me.
LORD, I repent.
I pray for YOUR strength, wisdom, and guidance to help me along my way.
I know that you have never left my side.
Therefore, I pray that you keep me and don't let me stray.
I pray that you guide me in finding, attending a good church home.
I pray for all of those in the mist of the storm, seeking shelter, and help...
May they find and abide in you in the mist and in the calm.
And LORD, concerning all the soldiers at war,
May YOU protect them from any hurt, danger, and harm.
I pray for our leaders, teachers, and government officials.
I pray for our police, firemen, doctors, prisioners, and all lost individuals.
I pray that we all find YOU.
And that's all I have to say.
In YOUR SON's holy and righteous name, JESUS...
I believe in and pray,
AMEN.

I've had a BREAKTHROUGH!!!!
It has come upon my spirit that I must lose myself in order to find myself. I must lose myself in my wife to truly enjoy, know, and have my wife. I must do what may feel uncomfortable to be truly blessed, because that is where GOD is comfortable. I must let go of wanting to be in control and know GOD is in control and to follow HIS lead. I must humble myself, so that HE can lift me up. I must trust GOD in every aspect of my life.
These may be things that seem obvious to many. But, I have pride that stands in my way. I have selfishness and self centeredness inside of me that stands in my way. But, today...I've got a breakthrough! I release it all in the name of Jesus! I submit to the will and desires of GOD! I know that GOD loves me and has my best interest at heart. You see, for me...it's time to get serious, and I'm serious about my love of the LORD. So, LORD have your way with me. I now know who I am... I'm a child of GOD!

Know that it all is just a test!
At this point in my life, I find myself going through financial hardships. It's easy to get lost in the things that you don't have and lose sight of the things that you do have. So, I've learned that instead of complaining about my current situation... to be thankful and a better steward of the things that I do have. Not to worry about the things that I don't. Earthly complaining makes a way for the adversary to move into my life. I know that he has only one objective... to kill, steal, and destroy all that GOD has planned for me. So, I rejoice in my hardships. I will find joy in my pain. Because, I know that I'm only going through, and not stuck in. The Lord is preparing my mind body and soul for new beginnings. And I'm ready to begin! Remember Hebrews 13. GOD will never leave my side and will always pull me through. This is only a test.

POETS
As we live…
Uplift the soul…
That’s wept and bore the pain…
Of being lost & sold… in a land of wealth.
Entangled in a world of doubt & No knowledge of self.
Captivate your spirit…
Being blessed with the essence…
Of the Supreme Lord’s presence…
And allow his love within.
Submitting unto his will & Having total faith… Is a good place to begin.
Empower the weak…
Utilize the psyche of your mind… A gift from the divine.
To awake them from their sleep.
Pass, nor judge not one.
For the Earth shall be inherited by the humble & meek.
Let not curiosity…
Have you coated with the dirt of the world.
It’s not an enigma.
Man for Woman, a gentleman and treat her like a lady.
But, it’s okay for boys to play with girls.
Understand the method of producing babies.
For the Alternative & unconventional…
They should tremble, For they shall be parted like the sea.
Mesmerize your eyes on the prize…
For honor shall be bestowed on those who live righteously.

Make Me Yours
May your hands be great in size & deep as a cup. So, that I may pour into them my burdens, sorrows, & sadness… Until I fill them up. Take away my troubles and transform me like water into wine. Abolish my loneliness, be a constant companion by my side. Be my light throughout life and my guide for all time. Place structure into my being & peace into my mind. At my time of emptiness, let Your embrace take hold. At my time of weakness, let Your strength empower my soul. When I begin to wander, take me back to my path. Assist me to your goal. I guess what I’m saying is… Lord, don’t leave me alone. Don’t leave me alone. Guide me down this road, lead me to Your throne. Make room for me in Your palace. So, that I may call it home. For, alone I roam through this journey called life. Expectations, there are many… Yet, sinful deeds seem to be all that’s in my plight. Open my third eye and righteously correct my sight. Take away my will and replace it with the mind of Christ. Install ambition into my spirit as You take control of my life. Take away my breath and let enter Yours. Guide my spirit to the keys of locked doors. In my time of temptation, may You inspire me to keep my essence pure. I guess what I’m saying is… Lord, make me Yours. Make me Yours. Amen.
Lost...Blown
Thoughts That taken Theory.
Thoroughly Thinking…
This Threshold of Thick & Thin...
Is Thrown into The wind.
Thankful Then… That Those Theories Tactfully end.
Being the Theist I am…
Therefore allow The Theocracy to begin.
For, it is difficult when…
Thin-skinned & Thickheaded… To Theorize This.
Which is my Theorem.
