Spiritually hungry or thirsty? Part V


Spiritually hungry or thirsty? Part V

God knows I was thirsty to death, but the senses of my spirit never fail me. Forgiveness always pour a cool cup of love. I am no whole without one-fourth of: faith, joy, peace, and grace. And with these fluids of life--- I shall remain balanced and only concentrated in volumes of prayer minus the dilutions of destructions.

The newest action points/thoughts (Hint: “I” is still no longer allowed here. We know how to love. We just have to: Restore it.  Receive it. Relive it.):

Day 25 (August 11th): List the prodigals in your personal sphere. Are those close to you praying often? Try to find those that demonstrate God’s love in their daily lives.

Day 26 (August 12th): Take a moment to thank those that associate themselves with positivity around you, from your church and school communities to your family, friends, and co-workers. Do something special for them to show your appreciation.

Day 27 (August 13th): Read 1 Corinthians:12-14. Turn to Acts 2:42-47 and 4:32-35. Notice all desires.

Day 28 (August 14th): Think about your community. Are you giving your time to help with outreach? If you are, what is the purpose behind your position? Are you seeing the results you expected? Which of your gifts and skills can benefit your community more?

Day 29 (August 15th): Who are you allowing to lead you? Are you walking in humility? Are you exhibiting love in its purest fashion? What are you doing with the gifts God provided you with? Or why are you neglecting your gifts?

Day 30 (August 16th): Think about the youth in your community. How are they being viewed? Are they teased or jeered? Honored or appreciated? Recognize your followers. Help lost children find their way. Remember: some sow seeds, others water them, and others reap the harvest.

Day 31 (August 17th): Do you honestly have the desire to love EVERYBODY regardless of how they live, look, or how different they are from you? Do you feel authentic love between your community, place of work, and/or family? Ask God to guide you in the direction of restoring love where it is lost.


Oh, what a filling of my spirit!
Did I eat or drink too much?

PAD Challenge Day 27: 🎂 Cake 🎂 and Eat It Too

Image
PAD Challenge Day 27: Write an an anapodoton poem. Cake and Eat It Too  Life is not always berry sweet full of confetti, rainbows  and butteflies in our circle of life. It can sprinkle unfortunate surprises. We can receive lemons after lemons  in a dark black forest of medley roses, even when our hearts are red velvet. Anywhere there's an Angel, a Devil will try to cake up; Get rich off your Godly confections. Kind of ice cold to say, Vanilla and Chocolate  will never always have a fair  share of what rises and pans out. The entanglement of the swirl  is just as incompatible and conflicting. No matter the number of layers, some will be handed corners, others more centers of it all. No matter how small, medium or large; Short or tall; Buttercream is not always  creme de la creme to us all. But we must keep a glaze  on God's miracle whips. Keep whisking the  ingredients of prayer  and supplication to bake  our special purposes on Earth. D'ElegantOne

PAD Challenge Day 30: Don't Be Surprised

PAD Challenge Day 30: Write a surprise poem. Don't Be Surprised  If the sun's full round face becomes a square  in between patches of scattered clouds.  If the moon no longer opens the night and  the stars no longer dance around your head. If the birds don't hold a tune  and the caterpillars never cocoon.  If the ocean doesn't wave and  the trees don't stare back at you. If the ones that loved you today,  hate you tomorrow. If the favorite voice you once heard goes weak and can no longer speak. If the lips you once french kissed,  harvest a new passionate tongue of deceit. If the arms that knit your heart close,  cut your heartbeat thread loose. If the one that was quick with a vital  hello is the first to ghost you with no excuse. If the one that painted a rainbow on your face,  widely draws in the color blue to make you cry too. If family becomes strangers and  friends more like family. If friends become lovers. If you wake up alone, remember  time is of the essen

PAD Challenge Day 22: What I 💜 About My Sister-Friends

Image
PAD Challenge Day 22: Write a "What (blank)" poem. What I Love About My Sister-Friends  I have three older than me. One is 49.  She could be President  but she's an Oprah and  First Lady Michelle to me. One is 47.  She is the carribean carnival of life. Teaches me to never think twice. One is almost 43.  She can set a flame of excellence throughout an entire community. Then there are three; the same age as me. One is an Aries too. Adventurous, independent and empathic like me. Two is cool water, loyal and assertive.  Three is Vogue and creates things you've never thought you would see. Four of us together,  we're like the Louisiana's holy trinity. But what I really love about my sister friends is their unconditional love, and transparency. We even have the same positive energy. We can show our wounds, share our woes,  cry, laugh, defend  and be our authentic selves without feeling like frenemies. D'ElegantOne
