- Is it Love or Lust? -

I often ponder over the elements of what characterizes what we call nowadays, love! I mean, although is it innately desired and an aide for healing,etc.... Love within itself has been used out of context and purpose.
Today, it amazes me to see people describe what's obscure and degrading, love! Many search high and low to get a taste of this rare fountain (love) , which leads to irrational and unfruitful lifestyles.
It was said that you can experience love more than once. It was also said that many have serial (monogamous, sp) relationships. But, it baffles me to think of the notion of whether it was love from the beginning!
People often confuse the two, therefore, conjoining them with false hopes and pretenses. It is evident that our society is very microwavable (right now driven) and not patient for the real and rare jewl (not the familiar, and often times not what's expected) that God wants to send in our lives.
Love, can stand the test of time and it is built with substance and endurance.While lust, is temporary, temporal, impulsive. It serves as self gratification and is made to fall (it won't last)! I guess it's nothing new, when we (as a society) are motivated more on materialistic things andpossessions, that we can not see that we are not defined by what we have, but by who we are!
So, the next time you are in a relationship, observe and identify your purpose, price, and productivity. If you can't see the benefits through hardships, and the main star in your relationship is sensual, then you know what you have! Be safe, and always, be cautious for you!

- Hiatus journey.... -

Well, my intentions was to be more proactive. It seems as though my life and my interest shifted on many realms.
My journey has been a very hard and difficult one. I will also add that the wilderness is very lonely and confusing. But, God, is a substainer of all minds!
I often wonder about my life and purpose. I know many will say not to, but, I can't help but to try to access and retain this all encompassed gift that resides in me! But, now I can say that things are looking up for me!
Ironically, I desire to do advocacy and motivational speaking! Once again, this was a silent thought reserved in the basement of my mind and spirit. Some how, it was revealed in a job interview, which unlocked itself from the bondage of silence! This left me ignited from then on! It's amzaing how your words have power and how affirmation from self towards self can literally unblock blindness!
Within this time, I've been receiving emails from the UK Poetry Publishing conerning my poems. I thought that it wasn't serious and that this is another version of Poetry.com, which I am a part of. Never did I consider myself to be this strong and extreme poet! The other day, I received an email saying that I was nonimated for Poetry.com's & International Library of Congress Poet Ambassdor! I'm like what? Then I thought about it, Lord, you placed this thought in me and I received it concerning advocacy and motivational speaking, and now the nomination for ambassdor for the one thing that I discredit as my ability! What an irony for me! :)
I said all of this to say to never dispise any gifts and or abilities that you have! You never know, the very thing that you think isn't your strong suit, but you can do effortlessly, could be the very thing that would serve as a catalyst towards your purpose and destiny! Who knows? (smile)
So, embrace who you are! If you don't know search within and definitely go to God, who knows all about you for guidance! Then, build on your confidence, once you have discovered your abilities! It's nothing like knowing who you are and not letting the opinions of others dictate to you of who you are and what you should be in their eyes! Their opinions doesn't matter! It's about what God says! He knows more and has set higher things for us than what we could ever imagine!
