More Than Enough

Chorus
Exceedingly, abundantly, above all that you could ask or think. Keep surprising me, overwhelming me, you keep blessing me

Verse
The same God, who it is for Abraham, You’re the same God that didn’t for Isaac If you did it back then, you will do it again say you are (more than enough for me)

You heard Jabez when he prayed for increase, you enlarged his territory-If he did it back then, he will do it again say you are (more than enough for me)

Lord I call you Jehovah Jireh you are God my provider, everything that I need you supply for me say you are (more than enough for me)

In the past you heard me when I cried and you saved me when I could have died, everything that I need you supply for me say you are (more than enough for me)

Desire is your pursuit

UPLIFT: The proof of desire is your pursuit. If you really want something you shouldn't have to tell others. They should see it in your pursuits. -Hart Ramsey

Another day in my life...

This weekend has been quite busy. I guess I will being with Friday's events. FedEx at 5:30, left by 9:30 to head to my regular scheduled hair appointment by 10, got a call to make some extra money and hours at FedEx, took care of that, went on break to take my mentor to the airport and then... Well, Ladybug had an accident. She will be out of commission for a while. Her replacement is quite nice, if I must say so. First, I need to thank God for the outcomes of the event: no injury to me, just soreness...this is a guarantee that I will get some rest. Insurance was paid up! Second to my marvelous mentor for coming to the accident site without hesitation & allowing me to drive Sweetness until I got the rental! I love you and don't know what I would do without you. I owe you MAJOR. Third, thank you goes to my little sister for getting in touch with my Memphis family when I could not! Fourth, thanks goes out to my birthday buddy for coming to my rescue too. I know I was a little out of it but you still came with your calming spirit. Thank you! Love you very much. So after my first accident, everything fell into place with no error....tow truck came, body shop was open and ready, Kendall got to the airport for her flight in time & got back to work with 15 mins to spare....then Saturday got up early to take care of business, got to the beauty shop and went to hang with the girls in Murfreesboro in the rain and storm. Then Sunday was awesome...Bishop preached to my soul as usual...God has truly anointed Bishop...Words can not do justice to Sunday morning service, you just have to see for yourself... Mount Zion Anywhere .... Then I napped and went to watch the FedEx guys play pool...this has definitely been a weekend for the books...I start my new job tomorrow....God has been so good to me...Lord, I am not going to allow the little thing to stress me anymore...you deserve all the PRaiSE!

10 Things

'ten things I want to say to a Black woman' by Joshua Bennett

1. i wish i could put your voice in a jar. wait for those lonely winter nights when i forget what god sounds like run to the nearest maximum security prison and open it.
watch the notes bounce off the walls like ricochet bullets etching keyholes into the sternums of every brother in the room skeletons opening rose blossom beautiful to remind you that the way to a black mans' heart is not through his stomach, it is through the heaven in your hello. the echo of my ? galaxy that pounces forth through you vocal chords, and melts ice grills into oceans, baptising our lips, until harsh words fade from our memories, and we forget why we stopped calling you divine in the first place.

2. when i was born, my mothers' smile was so bright it knocked the air form my lungs. and i haven't been able to breath right since. its something about the way light dances off of your teeth. the way the moon gets jealous when you mock her crescent figure with the shape of your mouth, queen. you make the sky insecure. self conscious ? stare at your face every morning, and realize that the ? of her skin was painted by that symphony doing cartwheels on your tongue.

3. who else can make kings out of bastards. turn a ?? into a floor full of gifts in a kitchen, that's ????
and my sister, was a blacksmith. who when she put fire and metal and made kitchen miracles at 15.

making ??? to feed a little boy who didn't have the words to see how much she meant to him back then ???

4. your skin reminds me of everything beautiful i have ever known. the color of ink on a page, the earth we walk on, and the cross ?? saviour.

5. i've seen you crucified too. spread out on billboards to be spiritually impaled by millions of men with eyes like nails. made ??? of your daughters. so i'm sorry for the music videos, for justin timberlake at the superbowl, and the young man on the corner this morning. when you just want to shed your flesh and become invisible. never doubt, they only insult us because... men are confused. we're trained to destroy or conquer everything we see from birth.

6. if i ever see don imus in public i'll punch him in the face. one time, for every member of the rutgers and tennessee womens basketball teams. then i'll show him a picture of phylicia rashad, assata shakur, eartha kitt, my mother, my grandmother, my 7 year old neice whose got eyes like fire bombs, and then dare him to tell me that Black women are only beautiful in one shade of skin.

7. you are like a sunrise in a nation at war. you remind people that there is always something worth waking up to.

8. when we are married i will cook. wash the dishes, and whatever else it will take to let you know that traditional gender roles have no place in the home we build. so my last name is an option. babysitting the kid s a treat we split equally and our bed, where i'll construct altars of wax on the small of your back. we make love like the sky is falling. moving, to the rhythm of bedsprings and bel biv devoe and angels, calling to us. saying this, is the way it was meant to be.

9. my daughter, my daughter will know her fathers' face from the day she is born. and i can only pray that this superman complex lasts long enough, for me to deflect the pain this world will aim at her from the moment she's old enough to realize that the color brown is still not considered human most places. my daughter will have a smile like a wheelchair, so even when i am at my worst, when the cryptonite of this putrid planet threatens to render me grounded, the light dancing off of her teeth, will transfer the shards of my broken body into heart-shaped blackbirds, taking flight on wind that reminds me of my ???, of my daughters' smile, of my mothers' laugh when i was in her womb.

10. never stop pushing. this world needs you now more than ever.

A Reason, A Season, or a Lifetime

A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON . . . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically,emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realise is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON . . .Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Closer

Verse I:
Oh Lord I felt your presence when I open my eyes this morning
I remember how we started the day together,
Somehow it drifted on
I need to feel your presence all through the day,
Sometimes I get weak and I want to stray

Chorus:
So I start all over again
Please Lord give me another chance
Today I want to be closer to you than I've ever been before (3x second time)

Verse II:
Oh Lord, it's my desire just to please You in all, in all that I do
Lord I want to walk like You, yes, I want to talk just like You
I want to live holy just like You tell me to
Oh there are times I must admit I fall a little short of your word
That's the times I call running and crying Lord help me just to make it,
Just to make it through

Chorus:

Vamp:
I want to be closer to you
Today I want to be closer to You than I've ever been before
Than I've ever been before
Than I've ever been before

Reasonably Happiness

Reasonably Happiness is what I want, really. Today was a good, a Praise and Worship Day...missed it a little less today, hurt a little less today...I'm tired...good night
