Missing...

I'm sorry I've disappeared off the blogosphere lately; this new blogger program absolutely sucks!!!! I have back posts that need to be posted that can't because google felt the need to make blogger an "experience" for me. It's an experience alright, like how going to the dentist to get a root canal is an experience...I'm done ranting, lol. This month has been an interesting one for me and I hope to share it with you over the next month unless google decides to make this more "user friendly".  Remember: just because you have no clue where you're going doesn't mean you're lost. You're not the captain of the ship; God is. Be blessed.

Mad to Love- Marriage Can Wait

"I’ve been asked the question and you’ve been asked the question. Actually, I think it’s safe to assume most twenty (or thirty?) somethings have been asked that dreadfully annoying question.

“So…when are you getting married?”
It’s infuriating most of the time because the person doing the asking usually a bit older and knows very little about you as a person. You can be completely unattached and they still want to know when you’re going to take the plunge. “Um…can’t really do it by myself, so…”
They’re simply taking the opportunity to reinforce the old customs of being married at a younger age. Not only is this way of thinking archaic, but it can also create undo stress and irritation for those of us who aren’t married just yet (yes, I’ve been married before, but that’s not the point here, people!).
The truth is that marriage shouldn’t be a goal or accomplishment we aim to conquer, nor should it be considered the mighty end all, be all of our lives. Rather, it should be seen as a gift and a blessing that is bestowed upon us only when the good Lord sees fit. Yes, we were made to partner up with another so that the earth might be populated and the human species can thrive, but committing to someone for the rest of our lives is a decision that cannot be entered into flippantly or for the simple purpose of being able to say we’re finally married.
I understand that most of us want to be married eventually. The desire is there. But we mustn’t forget that our God is a faithful God and He is always and forever keeping our best interest at heart. If you haven’t found “THE ONE” yet, it’s okay. Really. It is. God has other plans for you right now. It sounds super cliché but it’s the truth. He wants to use you, and right now, you being unmarried is a tool that He’s wanting to use. Let Him.
It’s fine that some marry young (I did); to each their own after all. But still being single at whatever age you are doesn’t make you any less of a person or Christian, and whoever tries to tell you differently is simply not telling the truth. People will try to pick at you and give you a hard time because that’s how society is, but it’s imperative that you keep the faith steady, trust God, and know that He has a genuine purpose for your life. Honestly, it’s not easy to remember and it’ll probably be a struggle, but putting your trust in Him will always reap the most beautiful rewards.
Marriage can wait; God’s will for you can’t."

You're Gone...

You were always there

That friend I could rely on, cry on

Go to parties with

Share my faith with

And then when you least expect it

Like a night cold that comes on strong...to fast...

You're gone.

It's not like I had time to prepare

To say all that I wanted to say

You understood me better than I knew myself

But the question I should of asked you was who understood you?

Looking for love in all the wrong places

For a Love that was right in front of you all along.

And now you're gone.

I wonder if in that last moment you were like the prodigal son

Walking back to The Father as He ran to You

Because you're gone...but I pray you're gone home.

On My Toes...

"Oh, You capture my attention

Carefully listening,

Don't wanna miss a thing,

Keeping my eyes on You

Oh, You capture my attention

I'm anticipating,

I'm watching, I'm waiting

For You to make Your move

Got me on my toes"

Toes- Lights

This has to be one of the coolest songs I have heard in a while. When I first heard it, I was smiling so hard I replayed my whole ride home. Shout out to Renee at Skate4JesusNYC who told be about Lights at an amazing Gungor concert (that's for another post). Even though this is a secular song, this explains exactly how I feel about the Lord in this stage of my life. Be blessed.

GUNGOR NYC!!!

Gungor at Gramercy Theatre in NYC= Absolutely amazing experience!!! We worshipped God at a concert! Can you believe that? God was so present in that place, I was honored to be there. You need to download The Gungor Band music asap.
