I need a man of God.

I didn’t say I want a man.

I said that if and when I come across any attractive man I would endeavor to incorporate into my life he needs to be a man of God.

I need him to wake up and invite God into his day, to spend time with God before the rest of His day starts so that I know he is protected and favored. That his mercies are renewed.

I need him to commune with God so that his choices are informed, calculated and within God’s will for his life. Choices like the option to incorporate me into his life.

I need him to be a praying man. To be known by God. So that when I pray for him God knows of whom I speak of.

I need him to be in tune with the Holy Spirit so that he has discernment. So that I can trust his decisions, not worry, and be at ease.

I need him to be a man of God so that I can be a woman of God. So that his presence continues to be a blessing and not a distraction.

So that when he pursues after me that I know his steps are ordered by God and aren’t perverse. So that when I choose and accept him it too is ordered by God.

There is any added level of protection, of trust, of love, of mercy, of understanding between us because God is at our foundation.

I don’t want a man of God, I need one. I require one because I require peace.

New kid on the block and he’s cute and so far a pleasure to know. At first I needed this to be right so that I could operate within God’s will. To avoid making mistakes and wasting time. Now I care about him. I enjoy his company and I don’t desire to lose it. But God will remove anything that distracts me from Him or my purpose so for the sake of me wanting what I want he can’t distract me. My role in pleasing God takes a more active role an alternative. The ability to establish my priorities will save me heartache.

God didn’t do all this for my life to be just this. He didn’t create me and let me live as long as I have for nothing. He didn’t call upon me for kicks and giggles. So whatever doubts I have in how much he cares for me. I rest in the fact that I’m still alive

I Corinthians 13:11:

“When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.”

Until last night I could have sworn this was said by Jesus himself and that it related to the necessity that one should cease to carry on like a child at some golden age. Here are some facts:

It was Paul, not Jesus for starters.

This statement came all the way out of left field.

It was stated in the midst of Paul explaining about how little we truly know about God and His will and how we will never truly know of it till Christ comes back. He was presenting various analogies to show the distinct contrast of our knowledge. One of them being that our lack of knowledge was like that of a child and how everything will be made complete like that of a mature adult.

Let me take a step back the whole reason I’m even looking at this verse is because I was having another rant about how I loathe “grown” folk. I like adults, I love kids, can’t get enough of my elders, but I cringe at the introduction to another “grown folk”.

However this verse of how you’re supposed to put away childish things kept nagging at me but it always bothered me that Christ constantly talked about having childlike qualities to enter the kingdom.

So the question still remains do I continue to embrace the lifestyle of a Big Responsible Kid or fold?

I love this remix!

Patience can be a pain.It’s easier to be patient when you know the details: what’s arriving, when it’s arriving, and how it’s arriving. Yet I have recently come to appreciate it.

When you’re able to be yourself it’s rather easy to allow others to be themselves.they don’t sense judgment because you understand that there is so much more to you than meets the eye. You also understand that if one is stupid, simple, close-minded enough to attempt to sum you up without digging deeper they’re not worth being apart of your world.

With all the time, care, and extensive detail God took into creating you deserves more than one word, one sentence, one picture, or phrase. Who I am cannot be captured in 120 characters or less. A lifetime is what we are offered to get to know ourselves. I will not waste a minute to make someone else feel comfortable about their lack of interest to digg deeper.

Consistently unravel the mystery that is you. Be careful who you befriend, selective, strategic in fact. It’s said that a friend brings out a side of you that perhaps without them would remain dormant.

Surround yourself with people who encourage you to do better, be better, and strive for bigger dreams!
