A Trio

As the time gets closer for my impending marriage, I have several thoughts about the vows associated with the ceremony. The ones that stand out the most for me are love, honor and respect. These words are the cornerstone, to me, of a working successful marriage.

I will stay with my thoughts on love.  Love is an inconvenient necessity.  There is nothing easy about having and showing love.  The greatest thing in the world is love.  I mean if you have love for a person and someone comes along and dies something to hurt that person, you could be prepared to do a myriad of things including killing that person. Yes, I believe love can give you the feeling of invincibility.  Through love you can accomplish the once thought inconceivable. Love is showing tenderness and affection towards the object of your desire.  A marriage without love is unsuccessful.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, I found out what it meant to me.  This one is so major.  Holding a person in high esteem based on the worth they have to you or the qualities that person excels in is a great show of respect. There is no way that you can profess to love a person if you don't even hold them ina high enough esteem to show them the respect due their position. A marriage without respect means that it lacks love, which makes it unsuccessful.

Honoring a person; the person you love is a fulfilling judgment.  To honor a person is to have a high respect for them based on what they have achieved in your relationship or the worth that person had to you. Therefore, the more worth a person has to you the more you are able to honor them.  This means that honoring a person shows that you respect their position in yurt life and the love is rooted deep in your heart, mind and soul.  Taking these vows seriously and understanding exactly how they work means that my marriage can be a successful one.  I completely honor, respect and with my whole heart love my betrothed. I want to have a successful marriage and because my marriage will only involve, The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit, My husband and my self, my everyday prayer is that I will continue to show him my honor, respect and love. I also pray that I receive these there important aspects of life from my life mate.

I an walking tall into my next chapter and role in life!

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...
