Broken Open

As life embarked on its path, the darkness stealthily pursued his prey. Like a captive beast taunted and tempted with a massive piece of meat, he craved to satisfy his hunger. He laid restlessly, eager to unleash his vicious wrath. Scheming and conniving, from near and from faraway, the darkness diligently studied life's moves, waiting for the perfect moment to strike his prey. Woe unto life, for the darkness had stumbled upon life's weakness: love. Life longed for and lusted after the embodiment of love - kindness, gentleness, sacrifice, unconditional acceptance, goodwill - and all that love was. Life itself was a reflection of love's spirit, or so it thought. Or was this belief merely a narcissistic perception? Masquerading as love's personification in the name of family, friends, peers, educators and intimate relationships, the darkness seduced life. Foolishly, life fell into the darkness's trap, eager to quench the unbearable thirst. Each time li...

Staying Above the Waters: Attitude of gratitude

"Sometimes we may feel like "prayer is lifeless, love is cold, faith is weak, each grace in the garden of our heart languishes and droops" (C.H.Spurgeon) but still, "Sing, O barren." (Isaiah 54:1).

In my journey to overcome, I am using the Law of Attraction school of thought, which basically states that you attract everything that happens in life, so to attract good things, you need to be in a po...

I Will Wait For You

"More than the watchmen wait for the morning...more than the watchmen wait for the morning, I will wait for you." - Janette, P4CM There is a certain calmness and peace that comes with surrendering. Not surrendering as someone defeated, but surrendering in the sense that your power is limited; surrendering in acknowledgement that a Power greater than you exists, and submitting to that Power over your own will, and trusting the Power to lead you where you are destined go. As I practice the art of surrendering in my journey, the poem "I Will I Wait For You" by Janette of P4CM speaks to me on two different levels: as a woman and as a human being. One thing I have vowed I will teach my daughter from the day she is born is that she is beautiful and perfect - curly hair, big nose, dark skin and all - she is perfect the way she is and deserves the best there is. As a woman, from the day we are born, we are already handed out our "insignificant being" ...
