A Mother!
As women, people like to label you; categorize you. When you’re young and single, they label you with words like; Hot, Sexy, Fearless. When a woman is older, married and have kids; you become far more than just a sticker price. The labels seen only through the lens of the eyes, but the heart is where the true beauty lies; into you, that’s what they need to see. A woman will never loose the label used to describe her youth, they just simply age like fine wine. Aging heightens the beauty; maturing is what defines the essence within!
As men, we absolutely need to know how to appreciate the true essence. Essence is defined as: An intrinsic nature. The indispensable quality that serve to characterize; that used to identify something, someone. It’s the most important ingredient, the crucial element. The inherent, unchanging nature; A Mother!
Sure, outer beauty is nice to have, but a woman is defined by her true beauty; the essence within. What really makes a woman truly special, is the definition that radiates from within. This label that I speak of, is that of a Mother; a label that speaks of Love, and true Strength. A Mother looks after the home, but that doesn’t define her. She nurtures her kids, with all the love within her soul. All while working to help support the family. A mother’s love; unwavering love!
When you’re young you may be able to turn a few heads, and be admired for your outer beauty. But when a woman truly knows her Worth, she doesn’t need to turn heads; she has learned how to inspire a generation, with her heart. She has truly realized that she is a SUPERWOMAN; with the ability to even stop hearts, with just her presence!
Mothers, the label; scratch that. You have a title; built on Strength, but the foundation is Courage. The strength to be, with the courage that is; flawless. Mothers, I Celebrate You this day, and every day. Don’t let any label define you, it’s a Title that best Describes You; A Woman!
God Bless You, Happy Mothers Day!

Hide and Seek!
I used to try to hide my heart from Your love, but You would know just how to find it; maybe because Your love was at the center of my heart. Sometimes I’ve even turned my back, but Your love was still so relentless. You clearly saw that I had a foolish heart, my heart could never truly hide from Your love. I tried to avoid Your touch, but could never avoid Your presence. Your love became my heart, the very moment I gave it to You. There’s no need for You to seek, my heart can no longer hide; Your love is my heart!
Hide and seek is a game that kids play. Passion, desire, love; they play endlessly within my heart. They may hide, but Your love forever seeks; my heart is Yours. My heart wants to forever brag and boast, that Your love has become my everything. The more I seek, the more of You I find. The more I love, the more reasons a want to love. I don’t want to ever hide my heart, not when Your love has been my hearts closest friend; my heart is never alone. I will never again hide my heart, it’s the only thing Your love seeks!
I will seek You first, seek You faithfully, but seek Your love wholeheartedly. Just so my heart can forever be found, enjoying the presence of Your loving embrace. If You were to ever hide Your love, I will seek Your face. If You were to ever hide Your face, then I will seek Your heart; to forever have Your love. A heart will never truly know You, until that heart stops hiding; don’t ever hide Your love from my heart. Hide and seek was a game my heart used to play; tag I’m it; a heart forever in need of Your love!

The Hurt Locker!
We’ve all been hurt, some of us can still even feel the pain. Scars fade, the pain goes away; if you let go, and let God. Give God your pain, don’t be ashamed to show Him your scars; there’s a locker. Sure, I know it’s easier said than done, but what’s the alternative? Just let it sit within your heart, and fester; until something becomes truly rotten, but it turns out to be your soul? Life is a journey, the path may not be easy. The journey can be sometimes short, don’t waist the moments looking back. Let it be, ashes to ashes; dust yourself off. The journeys not over, until Him face to face. His love will always, and forever be the final destination!
Let me tell you about my heart, may it be an inspiration. My journey has been far from easy, but it has truly made my heart stronger. My heart has been called, let your heart be one of the chosen; to be good, and truly faithful. My desire is to have a heart like David. It didn’t matter what David faced, he held true to his faith; in God. Even when he could have taken Sauls life, he waited for God to promote him; the hurt was placed within the locker!
I want my faith to be as bold as Job, he said; “though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.” He lost every single thing he had, but yet his faithful heart; was secure within his God. That just blows my mind; curse God, die, wasn’t an option, not even a second thought for Job. What a great faith to truly behold, the hurt, the pain, the suffering; placed within his locker!
My friends, God’s got it; God’s got you, right in the palm of His hands. Put the hurt, the pain, put your trust; in Him who is able. His love is the key, He has a locker with your name on it. Give your hurt to Jesus, let His love be your comfort!

The Selfless Heart!
Nanu Nanu.
Hey friends, can I pull up and park beside your heart? The two words above are from a tv show that aired around 1980; called Mork and Mindy. It was a greeting that Mork used, which basically means; Hello! The message below I wrote back in the summer of 2014. A time when selfies and mental health was taking flight, now they’ve taken center stage. Robin Williams was Mork, and his death that summer shocked me and the world, but got my heart thinking; so I wrote the following.
In society today we have new words, like selfie; which derives from the word self. There’s nothing wrong with the words self or selfie; we just need to put them into prospective. Don’t let them take root within, and evolve into the word; selfish. Read the questions below; assess yourself as a person. See if the word that best describes you is none other than the word; selfless?
Question:
• Is the love for your partner in life true, unconditional; forever?
• Do you feel that it’s an absolute need to encourage, and speak life into the hearts of those around you; just because?
• Can you see more beauty within people, more than the beauty you see; in the mirror?
• Do you work hard; regardless of how you feel, or even if you never get recognized?
If you’ve said yes to these questions, then it’s exactly as I thought. You see that it’s not about you, you’ve chosen to walk the path of selflessness. You haven’t bought into the message being told these days; “that it’s all about you!” You’ve realized, and know that it’s more rewarding to build up. Your selfless act could very well be the lifeline, that they so desperately need; to stand, stronger. We should never make life all about us, shine bright the light you have within. Be that beacon of hope, someone just may need to see the light. The only light they see, probably comes from a darkened soul; but the darkness, still overwhelms from within!

Trying!
Tell me, does my heart please you; does my soul speak truth? With all my heart, I’m trying to show the love. With everything that’s within me, myself, yeah, I do; do love You. Do You believe that, or am I still that fool… ish heart; still trying to reach Your heart with just my own strength? Here I am, looking through the lens of my own heart, it can become broken; not shattered, hello!
Do I, oh does my, can you truly feel the love that resonates from within? The struggle is real, sometimes I feel like I’m not getting anywhere; are You trying to tell me something? Closer, draw my heart closer; let Your love be the only thing I hear. Liar, liar, heart of mine the devil is still a liar. God’s trying to tell you something; speak Lord, my heart’s listening!
When the love moves, my heart wants to move. When He breathes, I hold my breath; the awe and wonder. When I exhale, I once again get moved; the love is what moves my soul. With every breath, my heart takes; the love moves on the inside. My heart moves, trying to allow the love to breathe through my soul, but only when; I stop trying on my own. Shh, shh, listen; God’s trying to tell you something. Let His love move your heart, don’t try to move your own heart. Don’t even try to breathe on your own, just listen; then let the words flow out as love, like a river!

The Shift!
Shift your thinking with me for a moment. Let me ask you this question; do you live to thrive, or do you allow your heart to thrive, as you live? Ponder that within your heart for a moment, let it shift you within your soul. God made us to thrive, within every area of our lives. I don’t want you to just see the difference, but feel different; from a shift within your soul.
Friends, let your hearts go through a shifting. Down shift, up shift, then uplift; shift a heart with a word that will truly uplift. Allow your heart to be shifted into your destiny, by The Shifter of hearts. Take a deep breath, whenever your soul gets overwhelmed; your heart is shifting to another level. Free your mind, Shift, ALT, Delete; unlock the love within your heart. Open up your heart, and receive within your soul; the shift!
Finally, my brothers and sister; whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things! Phil 4:8

Alphabet Soup!
The world says that to be socially accepted, you have to know that it’s always; I before E, except after C. But I just can’t C, with my eyes; I use my heart. Can somebody please tell me; how can I ever put I before E, when all I can C, is U?
I’ve tried the whole alpha male routine, but at the end of the day. I still couldn’t bring myself to put, the I first; this is still all about U. What a dilemma, so I wrestled with this very notion night and day. As a child, I learned that there’s no I, in team. I even learned that, A.E.I.O.U are very important; but lest we forget, sometimes there’s still the Y. Yes, why do I feel that “U” mean more to me; than all others put together?
Every day I do a sound check, but better yet, I should say I do a gut check; I forever hear U, moving within my heart. So the question still remains to be asked; Y do You love me so? That must be why the words I vowed will always be about; U. As an adult I have yet to see the, I in love. So do I search for my wants, or do I give You what You desire; my heart. This is not about how I feel, but it’s about how much the U within my proverbial soup; means more to me than I can ever say!
Your love is just like alphabet soup, for I just want to hang on every single word; that comes out of Your heart. Knowing the 123’s is a good starting point, but I see all the ways the letters, turns into words; that just blows my mind. The ABC’s turns into words, the very words I use to express how much Your love has totally and completely transformed my heart!
I know that alphabet soup by itself could never be enough to sustain my heart. That’s why I’m adding the meat and potatoes to my dilemma. Your love is the substance, that gives my heart life; abundant. So let my heart enjoy a hot bowl of Your love. It will forever be the warmth down within my soul; my heart will never truly be contented, with just a cup of Your love. My heart now has substance; my heart is full, but still feasting. The ” I ” within me is silent, this needs to be about; U, and U alone. Your love is becoming so clear, can I get an A, yeah; Amazing!

By Faith!
By faith walls will fall, seas will part. By faith mountains will move, giants will be slain. All you need is just a little, let your faith rise; from the inside!
My friends, faith comes by hearing, hearing The Word, not my words; the just lives by faith. Let faith change your circumstance, let your faith be in abundance. Let faith be the substance; that forever shifts your heart and mind!
By faith the deaf shall hear, blinded hearts shall see; wandering souls shall come face to face with the truth. Faith is the key, to unlock the blessings. Step into your destiny, walk faithfully; but walk wholeheartedly. Walk by, walk in, walk through… the darkness; by faith!

Hello!
On the other side of the glass you see some baggage; your heart is going on a journey!
On the other side of the glass you see a list of mistakes; it’s a list of what not to do!
On the other side of the glass you see someone struggling to stand; strength is found within the courage!
On the other side of the glass you see someone, picking up pieces of a broken heart: broken, not shattered.
Look closer, you will notice that the glass is reflective, showing the things we so desperately try to hide; reflections within a heart. No matter how hard we try, we will never be perfect. We have flaws, just don’t focus on them; it’s just part of the journey. He who is without sin, cast the first stone; my heart too is not blameless. We all have a heart of glass, let it be the proverbial window into the soul. I will let you see into mine first; then perhaps you will feel at ease, to introduce your heart to me; hello.
Mirror, mirror; show them what I can already see, that we all have the courage within to face our own imperfections. We will all experience brokenness, but Joy comes; breathe… it’s morning. Show me the reflections, tell me about the brokenness. You are more than what others see on the outside. I see through the lens of the heart; what’s good, and what’s true. Friend, welcome to my heart, the window is open. May it truly reflect the light that shines within, you have my attention; hello!
- Don’t miss the message within the picture!
- Let me see into your heart!
