A disciple cannot be antisocial. Or introverted. How can we when our command is to reach out to those who for so long we've tried to avoid? Tried to protect unexposed insecurities instead of overcoming them. How do I get ME out of the way so I can see you? And every thing your going through. Your soul is more important than my feelings, and as I die out, I must first take the 'I' out.

But right now the truth hurts..the truth is what I thought was right for me was wrong for you...the truth is the image I had for us is shattered..perhaps for good this time...the truth is I wrong about you..I was wrong about us..the truth is I knew that when you told me you weren't ready for marriage, one day you would be..for someone else..the truth is I'm tired of being the guy that women like you are not ready for..the truth is this pain feels so real right now..the truth is my heart hurts so much right now..the truth is I know I'm going to get over you one day..the truth is you were not really what I'm looking for in a wife anyway, no matter what these feelings and emotions are telling me..The truth is why does it still seem like I'm not good enough for you, even though the one God has for me will be so much of a better fit for me than you could have ever been..the truth is your still my sister (in Christ)

Or is it just the image of the view that I don't quite see.

Convinced that you were the perfect fit for me

Based on the qualities I desire in a wife to be

I thought I saw this in you
But maybe it was just me....

....Looking for the next best thing to cure this condition of singleness, tired of the waiting period.. waiting for the next written sentence to begin...Tired of conclusions ending in "let's just be friends"


It seemed like the perfect timing

Now I'm trying to hold on the silver lining.

Why did God allow you into my life?
Why did he allow me into yours?

Theres a way to move pass the past that doesn't want you to embrace your present or see your future., I'm pressing my way to get there. I'm inching closer even though this flesh tells me I'm still so far...

My spirit wants to do right, but the flesh is unwilling to comply. That's why it must die. Daily. Crucified. All the affections and lusts, crushed with the weight of his Spirit hear to comfort mine own until this mind disownes every thought that exalts itself against the one on the Throne. Adonai, El Shaddai, Elohim, thou most High, Prince of peace, never cease, to amaze, the Blood connected to the earth and awoke men out of graves/I refuse to be sinfully enslaved, hiding in dens and cavs like the ones his goodness tried to save...I understand you Paul, you did what you didn't want to and didn't do what you should have did, yet the Master forgives. I wanna live burden free, no hurt in me, I don't want to subconsciously hold on to the flair of dramatics, rejecting a life lived peacefully while repetitious requests prayed vainfully asking God to take the pain away yet rejecting his orders so the pain can stay. In a twisted way, some people depend on there own misery, no matter how much they complain about it. Because its either what they know best or all they know, and familiarity can be a mental, emotional and spiritual ******* that most...can't let go...well Lord im willing. I'm willing to let go of the past that you already have a long time ago. I'm willing to see myself through your eyes. I'm willing to allow you to turn this anger into joy, this easy irritability into long suffering, this pride into honor, false humility into the one we clothe in..im willing to allow all the pain the sting of rejection gave me over the years, to place shamelessly in your healing hands, im willing to give you the violin, that I've used to play the songs for every pity party thrown within, Upon personal request, while partly oblivious, to the world around me is dying in sin. Lord, continue to help me locate the man I was always suppose to be. Reveal him to me. Describe him to me. Develop me into him. He's been waiting for my embrace for too long. And I'm ready..to put away Childish things..

Surrounded by mistakes & regrets?
Labels don't define you
Are you running this race
Fighting demons inside your head?
I don't think I am nonchalant
If I don't scream at the top of my lungs;
I am alive, but death on the inside
Life is like a treasure chest
Full of gold, silver, trophies, souvenirs,
Miscellaneous items that at times mean nothing but an attachment of challenges and accomplishments; yet none define who you truly are on the inside.

Someone once wrote....love oh love, stop making a fool of me..
but the truth is, it wasn't love that made a fool out of you
It's was your emotions and feelings that misguided your love for someone who wouldn't cherish and honor it...this is the plight we unnecessarily fight when we trust in flesh instead of light...
