Find your altar

I am struggling to find the positioning of my altar I am walking and cannot remember the road I used to take to get to it and each time I recalculate, I get lost. There were places I used to sit and write about you on the altar, I had questions only you were able to answer. I conversed with you often through writing but each time I dare hold my pen now, the ink dries. There were places I used to go and find you, places we met and came to conclusions about things, Though often times, words were bigger than I could of imagined, you were there and understood exactly what my heart was full of. Now I go there and I can't seem to feel your presence as I once did. When we first spoke I was rooted in your word, and you were the anchor that held me together now I stutter and became more unbalanced than a dry leaf and I can't seem to refocus on you who kept me together. I lost the rhythm in which I used to play the drum to get your attention the way in which the cor...

5 things to remember in the month of May

" I had to disappoint you on one level for you to dream bigger on the next" I just want to give myself and you, 5 tips to remember for the month of May 1. Not everybody in this world is like you or has your heart. The courtesy that you are extending to one person, will not be reciprocated to you often times. Instead of getting upset and try to get even. Thank God that he showed you who they are and which doors you shouldn't open next time. 2. Take responsibility for your actions. There is something magnificent that happens to you when you take responsibilities for your actions. " How did you contribute to your misery, procrastination, lack of empathy ..etc.." The day you begin to answer these questions, everything becomes clear and you learn right away how to take care of conflicts in your everyday life. 3. God is in the midst of everything that you do. The reason why you are disappointed right now is because you needed to see that situation in a differe...

Even when I lose, I win

" When you begin to tell your mental to recognize when you care, you start demanding different." - Sarah Jakes Roberts. Allow me to remind you just how great God is and how precisely he shifts a situation to fit the destiny in our lives. Let me tell you just how connected I am with what God has been doing in my life because I forgot I had it in me but the accuracy is so precise that it scares me sometimes. Let me go back to April 11th, I knew something wasn't right about my day because everything set me off. My mind was there but everything in me was bothered. I didn't feel like praying, I didn't feel like doing anything but I still went to work. That day, I received bad news at work and for some very odd reasons, I wasn't moved. Instead, I was calm. Everything in me kept telling me that this is when my eyes need to start opening and my strength needs to begin to be molded because a storm is coming. I have been comfortable for too long and I needed an aw...

" You want to make God laugh, Tell Him your plans. " Have you ever given your 100% into something and did not get recognized for it ? I remember in high school, once every year, there was a science exposition. I wasn't the best science student.. I didn't understand much of it but when it came to projects, I TRIED to give my best. That particular year I was partnered with someone. While working on the project I noticed that she consistently rejected my ideas. After awhile we parted ways because we could never meet in the middle. Are you familiar with people who have never agreed on anything you proposed simply because it was always their way or no way at all? How did that make you feel? Science wasn't my best subject but she was a good student and together I had hoped we'd be good partners but ...life happened. It was 3 days before the science expo and I still had my original idea but she left such a hole in me that I really thought my idea was trash. I n...

28 days of devotion : " Have you kept your promise?" (FINALE)

It is unwise to make decisions based off of your emotions. Get out of your feelings for a moment. Use logic. Do you believe in the universe coming together for you? Do you believe that God is able to disrupt everything in your life so that you could spend 5 minutes with Him ? Do you believe that God listens to you when you speak ? How is your relationship with Him ? In January, I worked on connecting with my environment. I was told that everything that you have around you represents who you are. So I worked on keeping my spaces tidy, organizing my thought process, I worked on discipline (how to save money. Not go on social media before a certain time etc ..) do things that are mentally good for me. Fast forward to February. I wanted to really focus on my spiritual journey and because God is an amazing teacher, He sent me back to myself. I meditated on proverbs. Part 1 and 2 are already posted and this is the finale of the series... I am supposed to write down the remaining last ...

28 days of devotion : " But, was it for you ?" ( Part 2)

" Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform ( or pause and reflect)." - Mark Twain Day 9/28  - Folly. ( Proverbs 9,10) Be careful  with those around you who wrongly advise you. They are leading you down the wrong path and modifying your destiny.  Day 10/28 - Lifestyle of the badmind and the just. ( Proverbs 10,31-32) Everything in life is a choice good and bad. You're the one who chooses where you want to stand. Be stable with your decisions and stick to it until the end.  Day 11/28 - Balance ( Proverbs 11, 1-2) I am reminded everyday that lukewarmness and unbalance are two things I need to really acknowledge about myself and work on. There isn't water further down the road. it's just a mirage. Day 12/28 - Less is more ( Proverbs 12,9) " Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food ". This scripture described exactly what this new generation is and it amazed me b...
