I wanted to share a few writings that I've written in the past. I pray that it will bless you!

YOU ARE WORTH THE WAIT!
Do you know that you are the worth the wait? Any man that desires your time should be patience, respectful and understand who you are.

You are a diamond! Beautiful and made in the image of God.There is a process a diamond goes through before it gets that great shine! so you must not give up before the process is done!

You are set aside for something special......don't give your pearls to the swine....wait for the promise God has for you....MAKE HIM WAIT! because you are well worth more than a one night stand or a loose date!

If he doesn't want to wait, then let him go because he is not the one for you!

I love you with the love of the Lord.

HOW DID I GET HERE? Written in "2000"

I remember sitting in church not wanting to clap my hands, not wanting to sing hymns, but as I sat there crying God saw my contrite tears.

My mind began to wonder why I could not shake this bad habit, not realizing the enemy had me thinking that I always had to have it.

In my situation I looked all around me and things appeared to look a little gray, it seems that was an indication that I, again, had gone astray.

Far out in this state of affairs I find myself standing alone, praying I would see an authentic Saint that could help guide me back home.

I didn't realize that I was a prodigal son wooed away by my own lustful desires, I was too caught up in thinking this was fun until I didn't realized that I was in danger of hell's fire.

Snapping my fingers, swinging my hips, on the dance floor with the one I picked, I heard a still small voice in my conscious timing me with a tick-tick-tick.

People saw my shame and judged me accordingly, I thought they were trying to make me look like a fool and bad mouth me.

Some were saying; sit down, you can't work for God right now, you don't have it. Boy, did I feel even worse....just like a big ole-hippo-crite!

I don't understand why embarrassment like this always happen to me, in my mind I thought others were exempt from things like this, you see.

Why do I always find myself out here playing the sinners game? Did I read my word enough? Was I going to church enough to proclaim Jesus name?

Out here, on the other side made me feel like an outcast and extremely strange, Oh, Father God it is time, I am really-ready to make a change.

I remember Apostle preaching on Sunday how spirits had to be cut-off by the root, he also said if I wanted to be changed I had to get in reading my word, praising God and not just sit around to look.

My mind often goes back and think on how God never left me alone, when I come to my senses he will step in and set a serious tone.

How did I get there in that horrible situation again? I thought, I was driven out by my own lustful desires and it was nobody else's fault.

Because my faith remained even while I went astray, God reeled me back in and He is resting and ruling in my life 100% today!

God Cares For You!

God,

Our everlasting father from on high-

Did something so great.

*

Causing men to be drawn closer to Him.

Although we are born in sin, He designed a plan B to-

Rescue us from the firey pits hell!

Every knee shall bow and every tongue-

Shall confess that Jesus is King of kings & Lord of lords.....that was His plan B, when plan A failed.

*

For God so loved the world that he gave his-

Only son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have ever lasting life.

Righteous, Holy, and Marvelous God is!

*

Yes! He lives and is sitting-

On the right side of the Father in Heaven. So now that I've explained it, you must-

Understand that God Really Does Care For You!

Comment by Patricia Midkiff on February 16, 2010 at 3:09pm: Im still learning to rely on Jesus to help me when i need it. im so used to
doing things on my own, when it seems that no one seems to have the time to help. Why is it so hard to learn this lesson. it seems i have many
lessons i need to learn. Patience is another one. when im learning a new task online.

More Beautiful You by Jonny Diaz

Because God delights in you
and your land will be like a wedding celebration.
For as a young man marries his virgin bride,
so your builder marries you,
And as a bridegroom is happy in his bride,
so your God is happy with you.
~ Isaiah 62:5 MSG

Your new name will be
... “The Bride of God,”
for [Yahuah] delights in you
and will claim you as His bride.

You are so beautiful by Joe Cocker

The Lord your God is in the midst of you,
a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]!
He will rejoice over you with joy;
He will rest [in silent satisfaction]
and in His love He will be silent
and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them];
He will exult over you with singing..

[Moshe said to Yahuah]
Now, please, if it is really the case
that I have found favor in Your sight,
show me Your ways;
so that I will understand You
and continue finding favor in Your sight.
Moreover, keep on seeing this nation as Your people."

[Yahuah] answered, "Set your mind at rest
- My presence will go with you, after all."

Moshe replied, "If your presence doesn't go with us,
don't make us go on from here."

Shalom!! שלום

My response is to get down on my knees before the Father,
this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth.
I ask Him to strengthen you by His Spirit
- not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength
- that Christ will live in you
as you open the door and invite Him in.
And I ask Him that with both feet planted firmly on love,
you'll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus
the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love.
Reach out and experience the breadth!
Test its length!
Plumb the depths!
Rise to the heights!
Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.

God can do anything, you know
- far more than you could ever imagine
or guess
or request in your wildest dreams!
He does it not by pushing us around
but by working within us,
His Spirit deeply and gently within us.

Glory to God in the church!
Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!
Glory down all the generations!
Glory through all millennia!
Oh, yes!
~ Ephesians 3:16-21 MSG
