Classifications

It feels so Good to finally be able to sit and take a breath. I have been pushing full steam ahead this week. At times I wanted to break but I made it. Only one more paper left and I can truly say i am ending this week way better than I started. I learned an important lesson this week. It pays to push. I Pledge now to never give up. I don't care what it look like or feels like. I will not quit. Why? because in the end it really does get better. I have purpose written all over me and I refuse to accept any other classification. I heard a sermon by T.D. Jakes "nothing just happens" and I am persuaded that even when I try to get out of the will of God I am in the will of God. Look at Jonah. I release the classifications that have been places on my life. Yeah all of em. I no longer accept the definitions that other have imposed on me. I define me. Guess what is my first Classification.
I am a overcomer..........

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."

Is this 4 real???

Kelley, Girl if only you knew what spot/moment in time this blog came. On this day before I step into my next phase, I have found myself having a meantime experience like no other. Well thats not totally correct because I have been around this mountain before , And just when I begin to reason that i had perhaps been misguided or lost my way I checked my e-mail for the 100th time today and got my invite. The one that would not only help to liberate me but allow me to walk this road with others. I am so speechless right now because I see that i am right where I need to be. I am living my life and loving it in the MEANTIME. So heres to my development....... I am excited and open to what the future holds for me.

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 15:16
