The past tries to choke me
Tries to hold me back from the greatest gift:

GRACE

Jesus, You died to take it all away
This pain and suffering
The brokenness and depravity of soul
Directionless souls to find guidance, direction, and perfect balance
You are the standard
Lord,
Forgive my eyes from drifting

Human,
Weak and pale in comparison to Your glorious strength and light
Lord,
Fill me

The same hazardous patterns repeated
Past life meets new life and they blend:
Painful reflections acted out in the present

Lord,
I know I need to truly let it all go
Let the past go
And so,
I say once more, for good,
GOOD BYE PAST

You have no place in me today

Made    NEW : : :

Special as it comes 5/11/14

How far am I willing to go to protect all this?
Heart in hand
I will stand
Fight the good fight
Doing what is right
I will protect purity
With all inside of me
Cuz I can't see you see me for anything less
You deserve my best
Leader,
lead
Take me on the path of peace
Don't doubt please
Cuz we can't have clouded minds
Instead, the growth occurs as God binds

These hearts.
Uniting.


What was a prayer
Is alive
And praying
With my hands in his
Strong desire for a kiss
Now,
We are vulnerable
Hearts exposed yet guarded with strong armor
The Word of God is both of our swords
Salvation is both our helmets
Righteousness is both of our breastplates
Faith is both our shields
We have so much in common
Instead of removing,
God provided
Instead of breaking,
God bound

You and I
Me and you

Walking by HIS leading
You,
Leading
Eyes fixed up
God-
You are so beautiful. I know that more know because he is so beautiful.
How do you protect such a precious beauty?
He is a treasure
He is a gift from the Giver

Bi-racial Dating 5.11.14

Your Aunty told you today that I might be dating you as if you are a token
You are black
I am white
That just ain't right!
Callin you from elsewhere
to make sure your heart is safe
Does it look like I'm carrying a knife
Ready to attack
This ain't about me
It's about race
Jesus help our eyes see
Jesus help us be honest with ourselves
People giving us advice
To me- "be careful with them black men"
To you- "be careful she doesn't just want to use you to embrace the culture and feed her hunger for a black man"

Really?
It is certainly challenging to our intentions
And manipulates any dust of trust that lay therein
But really?
To categorize the other without any knowledge or words exchanged...
It's the age-old cause of strife, war, despair, heart-breaking
Darkness in the heart
In the form of ignorance

It is our choice: : :

Perpetuate
Or cut at the ROOT and work against




I choose to cut. I choose to fight.
God put you in my life. I didn't put you in my life. May my eyes always be on You, Jesus. I wiorship You for Your creation- not the creation.


You don't know me.
You don't know him.
Well,
I guess I don't even know you.

Thanks for the challenge.
