Emotional Captivity

Nobody puts us in it. We put ourselves. We are our own slave masters.

We have handcuffed ourselves with the memory and fantasy of someone who had left us long ago.  We have used our own mouth to say that we cannot be happy with someone else, and concluded in our mind that we might not find another like him. Using our words and thoughts to bind our souls to someone who has probably moved on or who will definitely not come back is like shooting herself in the leg.

Emotional captivity puts one in a state of being, not just emotionally but physically.

Motherous Intentions

One day, I was on my knees praying for myself when the Lord laid upon my heart about my attitude towards my father.  I thought I loved him very much. I thought I had forgiven him for the rough times we went through (I thought it was his entire fault since he is the head of the home and should have set things straight).  The Lord showed me that deep within my heart, I still had a bad attitude towards him.

I then got a clear warning in my spirit that no matter how spiritual I say I am, the way I treat my father is the way I would treat my husband.

The Ordinary Guy That Does Extraordinary Things

What’s wrong with the simple guy with a simple dream?

I mean a guy with a dream that can be actualized. He summarizes to us in one sentence what he is about and where he is going. No stories. No unnecessary grammar. No drama.

Craze Love- The thin line between love and craze

The thin line between love and crazy is as thin as the line between love and hate.

It’s not every time that your feelings will be reciprocated. Sometimes, YOU WILL LOVE AND THE OTHER WILL NOT RETURN.

It happens. And this does not necessarily mean you are the problem.

Hello Leah

Hello Leah,

This is about you, Jacob and Rachel- the other woman

Yes, you are Jacob’s wife, his rightful companion, but not his love

To him, you are just another burden that life threw at him

He believes life tricked him into being with you

You came in during his darkest hours and he took you in not realizing what he was doing

Ever since morning came, he’s treated you like you were a mistake

You also probably were aware that Jacob was not seeing right

But you delved into his life because you were desperate

Daddy was first to break Juliet’s heart and not Romeo

For some of us women, our first love was our father, but at one point, we lost that love and have ever since been disappointed.  Also, for most women, that so called first or major heartbreak is not the first.  Our first could have been the one that was caused by our fathers.  As little girls we saw our daddy as a man who would do anything for us, a man who would always be there and a man who would never hurt us.   So, when daddy disappoints, disappears or disengages, we lose that trust we have in a ‘Man’.

Miss Critical

Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that it was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. Gen 1:3

God sees good in all he does.

He sees good and does good. 

In the Garden of Eden, during the time of creation, he looked at every single creation of his, saw the good in it and went ahead to say “it is good”.

If your maker appreciates the use of his time and the work of his hands, then why won't you appreciate you?
