YEP! It's 4 Real???

Yes K.Lu, this is for real!!! We spoke about this idea a few weeks ago when you told me you finished the book (In The Meantime by Iyanla Vanzant) and I realized that I finished it a few years ago which was during the beginning stages of my... friendship, relationship, involvement with my Special Friend (SF).

When I could actually read through the book, instead of putting it down after just a couple of chapters, letting it collect dust for a few years and then picking it up again after my heart has suffered another ache, I was transformed. My thinking changed, the way I conducted myself in my relationship, the things I let bother me, etc, etc. However sometimes I tread down the stairs from the higher level and find myself sitting, brooding and upset in the basement.

On our journey as is described in the book, we will:
  • Clean our houses... disinfect our minds and sanitize our hearts
  • Examine love...What it looks like; What it feels like
  • Examine love... gone wrong, love gone stray, love in disguise
  • Consider situations and people who have the greatest impact on the development of our belief about love
  • Examine and explore the things we sometimes do to find love, keep love, experience love

TRANSFORM OUR HUMANNESS INTO DIVINITY

Romans 12.2:
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect."
