JOURNEY OF SELF DISCOVERY

I have packed up my bags and am ready to leave My Pain behind..:
I am living behind the Heartaches, Disappointments, and Failures…
This time there is no room for Negative Criticism
I am definitely leaving behind Bitterness, and Rejection,
Low-self esteem is not coming on this trip and neither is Regret
You see only Me, Myself and I are going away this time,
This time it's only Me who gets to go, This time it's about Me,
This time "Me" gets to have her way
This time "Me" get to take time out…
None of my former companions who I have named above are welcome..
None of these mates of mine are coming with me on this journey ….
This journey that I am on is an exciting one
This journey that I am on is a journey of a lifetime
So I won't be coming back to My Pain,
I won't be coming back to Heartaches, Disappointments, Failures..
I am definitely not coming back to Negative Criticism, Bitterness and Rejection
Neither am I coming back to Low-Self Esteem and Regret
This time I am leaving all my former vices behind …
I am on a journey… a journey of self discovery
I won't even look back because I will be busy meeting Joy
I will be so busy acquainting myself with Success and discovering Peace
I will be hanging out with Encouragement and socialising with Confidence
And Acceptance.. And at the end of it all…..
I will permanently move in with Jesus who awaits me at the end of the Journey

Somebody almost walked off with all of my stuff (For Colored Girls)

As many times as I’ve heard this poem. It moved me like never before at this point in my life. I almost lost it all. I almost made the choice to lose it all. I almost gave another total control of my future. I almost allowed him to walk away with my sanity, my self worth, and my life. I became unrecognizable and yet God was doing so much in my life.Taking me to world platforms, opening great and effectual doors and taking my gifts before Kings and yet I was casting my pearls before swines. He was so broken and I thought I could save him but in the end both of us needed to be saved.  So often we give so much of our self to one person till there's nothing left for you and you realize you gave some body all your stuff they didn't even have to take it. This is not the full poem I shortened it and personalised it.  Hope it inspires someone to get your stuff back!

The Grace on my life....

But by the  grace  of God I am what I am-  1 Corinthians 15:10 From as far as I can remember even as a little girl the grace of God has always been on my life in such a distinct way. It has been so distinct that it resulted in me being misunderstood and rejected by family and friends and left me apologetic for its presence in my life. By the end of my first term of first grade I had taught myself to read and I  read an entire high school novel and narrated the whole story in the novel to my parents who were shocked at my abilities. By second grade I was reading newspapers with my dad and he liked to move around with me showing off that his 7 year old could read a newspaper. By the time I was in third grade teachers marvelled at my reading abilities.I still have my report cards which say that at the age of 8 I actually read like a 13 year old! I was top of the class; on the few occasions I came second  was inconsolable. I excelled in swimming, hockey and athletics and drama an
