Love Actually!

According to the Manual this is the definition of love; Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. This would be a perfect type of love.

Well, as a human there are no perfect beings except for God. Love is however, like everything else, just because you will never achieve perfection doesn't mean that you shouldn't strive for an earthly version. Love suffers long and is kind. This means that love comes through the hard times and even though it does it is still kind. Love is not cruel when times get rough.

Love does not envy is a pretty straightforward one. If you are in a relationship that seems to breed jealousy and envy, then this is not love it is probably lust and/or obsession. That never ends up in a happy place. Now this one could be a hard one in the beginning when you are still trying to keep the other person from knowing that you love them; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up. Love is a modest thing. Does that mean that you can not walk down the street holding your sweeties hand or lean over and give your honey a peck on the cheek it means that you not a bragger or trying to rub it in peoples face.

If you have gotten to the point of plotting the death of your significant other then you do not have any love for that person because love is not provoked, thinks no evil. Love can not exist in the midst of evil. It is an impossibility because God is love and nothing about Him is evil.

Love dwells in the truth. Love doesn't hide from the truth in fact it seeks the truth. It is able to bear, believe, hope and endure all things. This is certainly something I look forward to having it makes me excited to know that this is what my future holds.

Love

Whitney already told you

 Today I just knew that I needed to write a post.  Sometimes I know what I am going to write before I start, and then other times, I'm just winging it. There are plenty of things on my mind and I still don't know what my topic of the day will be. That is until I know what it is going to be. I look at the people in my life every day.  No, not physically but logically and some of the time emotionally. I come to the same realization every time.  First off, there is no such thing as coincidence, in my opinion. I believe that the family you are born into is based on many things, but it is never a mistake.  When you meet your friends, lovers and others, it is for a divine reason.  All things work for the good.  Not some of the time; all of the time. Now let me be clear, two things can and are usually true at the same time.  You can have a happy life and feel joy while still feeling sad over certain situations. The reverse can also be true where in you f...

Cafe Bustelo with a little cream

 I don't even think there is a phrase that describes the feeling that I currently have about my life.  It has been approximately, a year and a half since I have last shared.  The truth is that I have barely even written anything beyond a text message in that time.  For a while I called it writer's block but now, I know that is not a true assessment. The truth is more emotion and far-reaching than that would connote. When last we spoke I believe I was legally ending the worse chapters of my life.  Now, this is not to say that some good times were not had in that more than decade of my life, but the bad times definitely outweighed the good ones.  The lessons were a multitude with nary a time to rest really.  I am good with the knowledge of this at this point.  There has to be bad in order to enjoy the good; the night must fall in order for the sun to rise; there would be no way to turn left if you didn't have the option of turning right.  You g...

True Confession!

I have a confession to make. It's funny because telling a secret or making a confession is a very hard thing yet once it's done that weight has been lifted and you feel a little lighter. That being said confession is just good for the soul. I know that the devil is trying his best to keep me from obtaining my destiny and this confession is getting ready to shame him because he is a liar and he will not kill or destroy me. I am taking back the power I gave him in this situation. I just had a birthday and I turned 36. I love when my birthday comes around. This year was no difference. Actually, it was a lot better than it has been in years. Partially because I spent my day getting to know a new person in my life but mostly because I have been getting to know myself. This is my real-life confession. I didn't begin to feel good about myself until I was in my 30's--I was around 32 actually. I had the most negative self-talk a person could have. My self-esteem and self-imag...
