I Need Something

I need something

something like peace of mind

mind free of chaos

chaos free environment

environment that is conducive to my spiritual growth

growth of self-love

love of others

others to bond

bond that can't be broken

broken silence

silence of the negative

negative defeated by happiness

happiness that isn't defined

defined by the situations

situations not suited for a Queen

Queen of my own mini world

World, let go of me

me, I need something

something like faith

faith that says I can have it all but it's not what i need

need just might be a want

Want it all

All I need for this moment, I have

Not as Planned

Not as planned!

Most of us start any new process with good intentions, however as the process progresses, life distractions can cause us to falter. In Romans 7, we find Apostle Paul struggling with intentions to do right when evil is always present. We know his struggle is valid because we can all witness to it. For instance, your intention was to be fit, to work out more and watch what you eat. As soon as you declared your new lifestyle changes, things around you began to change. Your work schedule picks up, thus cutting your work out time and now you cannot focus on previous healthy declarations and goals.

The same thing can happen with our spiritual life. We begin our walk or even our day, in good spirits. We are happy to help and our intention is to live this Christian life with zeal and excellence. Out of nowhere, we began to miss Morning Prayer, skip bible studies, work more than worship and now our walk seems more like a time consuming burden than a privilege.

Fret not; it is normal to get off track some times. However, it can be detrimental to your spiritual growth and life, if we do not snap out of it quickly. For starters, begin to ask God to renew your mind (Romans 12:2). Once your mind is renewed and set for change. Every thing else has to follow suit.

In Romans 8:6 we find “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”

This verse states it clearly, if you have your mindset on what the flesh wants that is what you will seek and ultimately it will lead to negative things. On the other side, if you seek the spirit, it will bring forth peace and life. If we make up our mind to pursue the things God wants for us then our mind, body, and intentions will naturally align.

You chose your focus point!

Dear God, Thank you for all you are to us. Thank you for giving us the ability to know the difference between right and wrong. We ask that you forgive us for allowing things to distract our fellowship and relationship with you. We ask that you renew our minds and transform lives. We ask that you continue to shape us in to the instruments you have planned for us to be. In Jesus’ name, Amen

Showmanship

Your showmanship does nothing for me at all; it’s the unmasked, uninhibited, flawed you that hooks me I fall for the innermost you ... so know that

Friends Going Places -Jerrell Fields

Intentional

Be intentional about everything

Thank God either way

Say nothing, you didn’t first think about

Do nothing, that will defer your success

Apologize appropriately, right away

Do all you can, nothing else is required

Be you

Seek Clarity

Pursue God’s will

Be Intentional

Pride

Pride suddenly taken away = HUMILITY
It happens and it’s good for you

Social Accountability

I have to learn to protect my spiritual witness from my ever-changing emotions I THINK it confuses people.

Attention

The attention counts. If you are not keeping, giving, or getting it.. then it’s lost to something or someone else that’s just the way it is

True Beauty!

There is nothing more beautiful than a woman who genuinely loves herself. When true self-love is present, she does not have to emphasize, flaunt, or boast. True knowledge of self speaks louder than rowdy actions, unruly accessories, and constant displays of assumed worth.

True Beauty never has to prove itself…. it just is

Flowers have never had to boast of their beauty and value, so why should you? Did not God create you just as uniquely intricate as the flowers of the field?

Purposed Place

Sometimes when I’m in tears, I feel so far from my goals, however in the same instance, I gain assurance from within that, this is not it. This is not final.

When I see smiles on faces, I know there is Hope.

I know My God

I know He loves me

and although it is rough now

He is still here to take care of me

and

I will get through this

Flawlessly

Empty

A broken Heart is like an empty sanctuary…

it was meant to be filled with life giving substance...

but now it just

empty...

No crowd no clot

Nothing stays there long...

and how could it...

when there are so many cracks and open spaces

Worst thing is

I don’t know how to fix it

there is no spirit anymore just a shell of what once was

and

I don’t know how to fill it

it used to overflow with hope and inspiration

but

I don’t know how to mend it

the foundation is broken nothing can hold it together

and

I don’t know if I should store it

because

there is no use in keeping something that is

Empty

Little Things

Its the small moments you have with others that are the most memorable. Like the inside joke with the college crew or simply the way he looks at you. These small encounters weave together to strengthen the relationship we have created .

The Great Commission

A real relationship with God through Jesus Christ means that you have grown to understand that it is not always easy or comfortable and the life you live is not lived for you but for the salvation of others. That is why you make it so you can bring others back to life (God). Live so others see the hope of your faith and salvation and want to live a new life. Life is more then career and achievements it's about discipleship. If God asked you to give up all you have so you can change the lives of all those around you; would you do it? Keep in mind God is a provider for those that love Him and do the works. So would you?

In Turn

To my favorites
I have missed you
It has been a while since i posted anything but hey what can i say?

In the more recent weeks
I have become very transparent emotionally
allowing myself to explore vulnerabilty

and oh what a challenge it has been I have come to found out that
I have a lot of work to do within

Its all about readjusting your perspective

To Be Continued.....

Just Wait

Wow what a movie

So i had the opportunity to go to a early viewing of "Just Wright"

I will not spoil the movie but I must say to all the women out there Just Wait.
Sometimes it is easy for us to get caught up in fairy tales, stories and dream men.
We get anxious when those around us seem to have it all together and we feel as though our time will not come.

Fret not my fearless sister

Your time will come. God is working some things out of you and in you.

He is making you the ultimate woman for the ultimate Man of God.

So don't settle! Don't be loved starved! Trust God! Have Faith!

All that is yours will come to you
Watch God, Wait on Him to move in His time in your life.

With Love Miss Logan

My favorite colors are blue and black
I don’t like scary movies
I long to love and be loved back
I could ramble on and on but the point is there is so much more to me than the big moments sometimes I get sad thinking of small moments but then I realized those small moment you missed hold more value because I have grown to hold on to the
Big moments

Trust

What does trust mean to you? What makes a person worthy to be trusted? Trust in God and nothing else matters.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths

Good day!
