God answered all of my prayers of happily ever after
When He gave me you as my soulmate and lifetime partner.
No man has ever come close to loving me the way you do.
Your love is complete, tender, unselfish, sweet, and true.
Only God could have designed and orchestrated
perfect love like the love shared between you and me.
One failed romance after another
When all I wanted and prayed for was forever.
I said no more, tired of playing a game I can't win.
The next man I date will be my husband.
I asked God for patience
and I steadfastly prayed for discernment.
I could not handle another disappointment.
The Lord had to work in and through me
Blind my fleshly eyes so that I could see
beyond the superficial
beyond the imperfections, beyond the physical
Beyond the emotions
To the deepest level of the soul
where true love emanates.
I am so happy it is you, I am so happy you are my soulmate
I was given so many reasons to doubt that such a love could ever be
Until your love came and rescued me.
You have seen my pain, you have seen my wounds
and you have made it your purpose to heal them one by one.
You take me as I am
with all that is fragile, all that is imperfect, all that is broken
and all that is beautiful
and you allow me to be me
God blessed me when He decided that you were the man for me
to by my friend and confidant
to be the reason why I believed in love again.
It was no accident we met years ago, it is no accident that you are the man I love today.
It is no mystery that you are the man for me
The way you pursued me so beautifully!
Only God could have written such an amazing love story
And I will never cease to thank Him for giving you to me.

Poem written in December of 2007. Feelings expressed to God
I live in a world
Where many people believe there is no God
But how can I act like them and pretend to believe
That you my savior do not exist
For everything you’ve done for me
The breath of life you’ve given me
I cannot be indifferent
But rather I want to lift up my voice to give you praises
And this poem
is an expression of love.
This is a reflection of all the things I want to say but cannot seem to find the words
This is my testimony.
I love you oh Lord
For what you’ve done, who you are
Where you found me
As well as where you’re leading me.
The devil has tried so many times
To hurt me, to lead me astray
But you always come through to guide my way.
When darkness took away my sunlight
You were the lamp onto my feet
And the light clearing my path
I am a stronger woman
Because of all the pain I have felt.
I am a wiser woman
Because of the path I’ve traveled here on earth
And it feels even better to know
That this world has nothing for me
For it is not my home
Where you are father…that’s my home
Next to you for eternity
Is where I want, desire, and need to be
Things are not the way I would like them to be.
I don’t have everything I want
But I don’t want to live according to the flesh.
‘Nor do I want to partake on the things of this world
Made simply for human pleasure
Not at all inspired by you.
I do trust and believe that I have everything I need
Because you who created me
Has and will continue to supply my every need.
So, what is it exactly?
That got me spitting lyrics?
It’s your love. It does something to me
That I can’t quite seem to understand.
I can’t even put it in print
Because mere human words cannot explain
The love for you I’ve gained.
I am under your spell
And I got people here and there
Scratching their heads
Wondering what’s gotten into me
But can’t seem to understand
That my heart is being led back to you
My muse.
I am testifying that I was hungry
And you fed me
Not just a physical hunger
But a hunger that runs deeper.
You have quenched my thirst for belonging
And my quest for love
I no longer yearn for what others can give me
Because you have filled up the holes and the voids within me.
I was naked and you clothed me
Not just with cotton, silk and polyester
But with your garment of righteousness
I was sick and you healed me.
Not as in I couldn’t get out of bed
But in the way you bled
On that cross…on cavalry
To save a wretched soul…to save a sinner like me.
You saved me
You have forgiven me
And you daily walk with me
This is my testimony.
For I know that my redeemer lives!!
Where many people believe there is no God
But how can I act like them and pretend to believe
That you my savior do not exist
For everything you’ve done for me
The breath of life you’ve given me

I found love
I wrote this poem on November 28, 2007. Three years later, all those dreams became a blessed reality when God gave me the man I prayed for all of my life.
To My Beloved
I said a prayer for you last night
Actually I pray for you every time I close my eyes
I pray that you are happy
And I pray that you are avoiding the wide path that leads to eternal destruction
To walk the narrow path with the Lord that many people shun.
I pray that you will be a man of God, just as Elijah was
And a real head of the household just as Joseph was.
I pray that you will love me just as Isaac loved Rebecca
And that I will be to you as Sarah was to Abraham.
I don’t know you
I don’t know what you look like
I don’t know anything about your attitude
Nor your built and height
But whenever I think about you
My heart skips a beat in time
Because I know when I finally meet you
I will love
As never before
Because our love is being designed by God up above
I get impatient from time to time
Because I want to see you, to talk to you, to know you…to hold you…to love you
I want to look into your eyes
And feel mesmerized.
I want to kiss and taste your lips
and feel endless bliss
I want to call you sweet names
and whisper tender words in your ears
But I am joyful knowing that God is taking his precious time
To mold me into the helpmate you need and to design and create you…just for me.
I know what I want but God knows what I need
And when He blesses us with true godly love…love sublime
It will definitely last a lifetime.
So, tonight when I lie on my bed and look at the stars twinkling high above
I will smile sweetly at the thought of you
And continue saying special prayers…just for you.

Just a closer walk with Him
I have always wanted God to use me, but unfortunately, I have been so focused on my life, school, my career, and my future, that I really have not given Him any time at all to work on me. As my academic career becomes less demanding, I am adopting the mentality of more of Him and less of me. The purpose of me expressing myself through this blog is because I feel like I have been through a lot in my 24 years on earth, and through my life story and my testimony, I hope I can be a blessing to someone.
Jesus tells us to cast all our cares on him. That is the most liberating feeling in the world, to know that you don't have to go through life alone, to know that He is the friend that sticketh closer than a brother, to know that He will never leave you nor forsake you, and most importantly, to know that no matter how far away we have turned from him, because we all have at some point, His arms are always open to welcome us back into His love.
Welcome to my blog page. People describe me as overly serious. I guess you could say that observation is correct. I respect myself. I respect the life that God has blessed me with, and I take it seriously, but at the same time I am a happy person, I like to have fun, and I am learning to live my life to the fullest daily.
I am turning 25 in 7 days. I feel very blessed to have made it to this stage of my life. As I get older, I am trying to give my life to God completely, and adopt the mentality that it is not about me, never has been and never will be, but rather it is all about HIM. God calls us to glorify Him in every aspect of our lives. "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God"(1Corinthians 10:31). No longer do I neglect my spiritual life, no longer do I neglect my health (eating right, sleeping right, and exercising), because in all that I do, I must bring glory to my father.
Expect lots of information on living right, eating right, exercising, and being physically and spiritually healthy. I will provide homemade recipes on healthy eating, bring you news and pictures of my latest shopping experiences, update you on projects I am adopting such as pillow making and sewing, and post lots of pictures on what's going on in my life. As I share my life story with you please feel free to do the same!
