Let's talk about Love !

Dictionary.com defines love as: a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.

The Bible often uses the word charity when referring to Love.  
So many songs dedicated to love, we have the Book 5 love languages by Gary Chapman ( great book by the way ). 
So what is Love? 
There are so many definitions depending on who you talk too. Today I can say that the perception I had of what love was is totally different then what I know Love is today. My idea of love was based off of actions I expected from others made up from fictitious accounts I've seen over the course of my life. Those romantic comedies we love to watch or reality dating shows full of drama. At the end the girl always got the guy and
They fell in perfect love and rode away in the sunset happy as can be. Now that I think about it these people never worked or anything! Television! Geez! Even our bed time stories the princess always lived happily ever after. Now I'm not saying there's not a happily ever after, I am saying those movies and stories left out what happens in between. Referring back to the definition of Love and the word Love being referred to in the bible as charity. Charity means to give, I found out in this sometime complicated life you have to give in order to receive. There's so many verses  the used the word charity here a few mini examples,charity suffer long and is kind, the greatest of these is charity. In order to receive the love I was so desperate for I had first give love too myself. Not in a selfish vain way, but in a way in which I valued who I was. I set goal for my life and worked diligently to achieve them. I didn't allow others to treat me less than I deserved. I choose me for all the right reasons and then I was able to receive my happily ever after. I'll save that for another post (😁). Give love to your self and you will be better able to give and receive love aka charity from others .....

Falling can be one missed step away ...... part 2

The word Empty is a small word but it holds much power. Too be empty is too not be full ... Empty also can mean to be filled with. Opening my eyes doesn't seem to feel the same anymore, the dread of the unknown almost makes me want to stay asleep. I never thought that I could ever be this low. I never thought the the insecurity and the feeling of never fitting in would creep up on me in my adult life. You see things in life that are meant to bring you down will tap on you discreetly almost subliminally. They continue to hit you in the same spot over and over again, just like a construction worker who needs to break down a wall. The construction worker will target the weakest point to gain access, and begin there demolition focused on that point. So here I am empty, like a car that has run out of gas (which ironically enough recently happened too me lol ugh ). If you have ever ran out of gas you know that the vehicle is at its low point and is unable to function. It has pulled o...

"The Pull"

There is a Devine Purpose for each and Everyone of us. As I sit and reflect over my life there's one identifiable feeling I can remember. It was that pull inside of me that I had something significant to do! You may wonder have I ever felt "the pull? Purpose is something we are born with it is in your genetic makeup. God was so strategic so detailed to build each and every person in this world as and individual fearfully and wonderfully made. I'm in awe when I think about how each and every person in this world was given a gift all there own and no 2 people have the same gift. How awesome is that! Even if you don't see your gift or don't under stand know that it is there. God didn't run out of promise while creating you he gave it equally so no need to worry he blessed you too.   The best way I can describe the pull is to say it's a feeling almost a knowing  Deep down with in that tells you there's more! It's the knowing that  you have greatness in ...

A Long Walk

I was sitting at home the other day just thinking about how blessed I am. I was remembering a time when things weren't as peaceful when thing were confusing and I didn't know when they were going to be ok. All I can do is smile and thank God. The walk I have come from was a long one but with him I made it! I'm going to let you in on a little of my walk and hopefully it will save you some of the steps in your walk. Before I met my wonderful husband I had been single for about 6 years. Durning that time I did some dating a lot of dating lol but my main focus was me and my future. I became one of those independent woman who worked hard spoiled myself and conquered many things. Now I also became a bit of a control freak. My atmosphere had been set the way I wanted it, which was free from any type of possible threat. I had hardened my heart and didnt even realize it because my little inner circle was fine. Guys I dated that didn't fit into my world I dismissed with the quick...
