Alone

As the sun sets
The loneliness sets in
Lying alone
In this empty bed
Day dreaming
Of what I desire
Knowing for sure
What I dont want
Not settling for less
Than I deserve
With all that said
I am still alone

Storm

Winds gusting ferociously
Debris flying in circles
Rain pounding the pavement
Resembling rivers flowing downhill
Clouds suddenly darken
Lighting striking
Illuminating the sky
The fury is terrifying
Then as quickly as it came
It was gone
The sky brightens
To the most beautiful shade of blue
Robust white clouds
Allowing rays of sunlight through
Calmness arises
As if the fury never took place
Just as life
Throws us storms
The calmness prevails
And washes away yesterday
For today is a new day
We made it through yesterdays storms

Discipleship Graduation-Sistah's Pursuing Purpose

This past sunday was our graduation for our Discipleship Class, Part 1 :)  We took these pics are church following the graduation :)

I wrote two things last night but forgot them at home...I will share 2morrow....

All Grown Up

Look at my babi girls senior pics...I feel soooooo old :)  My Tanaesha is almost a grown woman.  This time next year she will be heading to college.  She wants to be a peditrician, and with her grades scholarships are going to come.  I should type one of her poems but dont have the time right now...

I hope that everyone has a good day

Doubt

Doubt

Doubting myself
Not sure if I am capable
Of loving
Another or myself
I see only my imperfections
How can someone else
Love me if I cant love myself
I am scared to give
Of my heart
And be hurt once more
Am I worthy of true love
Or am I just in love
With the idea of being loved
Am I worthy of someone
Looking past my imperfections
Wanting to heal my pains
Allowing me to cry
Holding me
When the nightmares consume
I desire to be loved
But terrified to let anyone in
I keep running
But I am tired
Tired of doubting

Tonight

You've waited patiently
For me to love you
The way you love me
At first I was scared
To open my heart and be hurt
But the gentle kisses on my neck
Relaxed my spirit
And allowed me to feel
To embrace the feeling of love
Being loved in return
Is the greatest feeling in the world
Its all I have ever wanted
I feel comfortable with you
Everything feels so right
All I ask is for you
To love me for me
And always be true
My love will fulfill
You're every need and desire
For the rest of our lives
I gave you my heart
And all that it entails
Treat it with care
My words were true
When I said that I love you
Because I gave you my heart tonight

Good Morning...I hope that everyone had a good weekend!  I didnt do too much...I hung out with Tanaesha and watched old movies :)  Yesterday I took her shopping and I saw this cute lil purple dress and couldnt resist.  I have NEVER worn a dress other than the two times I said I Do...I have really skinny legs and have always been self consious lol....Other than feeling half naked lol I feel ok today...So I thought i'd share...

I still havent written anything...I dont know...Just havent been inspired...
