Flawed beauty

Behind the perfect 'Insta pics' / lies perfect hurts.

We prevaricate from the insecurities / pains / struggles / and paint perfect white picket-fence lives. The painting is a mirage - Do Not be Fooled!! What we innately need is a perfect love! One that sees us without the Mac and and the filters. One that does not need perfectly put together words. One that loves our essence.

It's okay to show the flaws! It's okay to be honest! It's okay not to be 'Living it up'! It's okay to show who you are!

I pray we(I) stop buying the lie.

No Prayer

I haven't got a prayer in me!

You know one of those neatly put together words that can move mountains or that ought to be put in a prayer book and recited over generations.  I don't!

There is an easy way out : Silence : But even in silence words are heard.

The blank stares are interpreted as arrogance
The absence will be a present
The running is geeting me nowhere
The rat race in the rut is on!
The raging war between what is, what can be, what ought to be, will not let me be.

Intentional Living

Job 2:13 (Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they saw how great his suffering was.) Now let that sit! Let that cook a little bit.

As in 7 days 7 nights just hanging out with a friend who is going through hell! Saying nothing! Just sitting. Not letting words get in the way of communing.

 Now I have to be that kind of friend, so help me God!

The parameters of our friendships sometimes only go to where we are comfortable. It's just hanging out, going to places, liking posts, double tapping on the photos: theoretic friendships/facebook besties/IG stalkers. They are so made up the foundation gives in at the very first sight of discomfort!

Since we are stepping out of these parameters into the discomfort it's going to get real. Vulnerability has been invited, there's a reserved seat for friction, realness is the name of the party! And even when it does not suit me,I will submit to this process.

If I want to SUCCEED in life( in what God has called me to do/be) I need my friends who are family! To INTENTIONALLY do life with them. Not just in these streets but beyond the hellos,the 'it's been a minute', the 'we should hang out soon',

 I will be that friend!

what it is!

In the darkness of my troubles I hide my watery eyes,
With a smile so huge the pain is still there,
This is what Kelly must have been feeling when he said he needs a hug,
Coz HEAVEN KNOWS I NEED one,
But with a brave heart and a gentle spirit I listen to the cries of the world around me,
I give a hug to them that need it for in it I find one too,
I smile at the stranger in the street for in that I just might get one in return.

An iron lady is what the world sees.
All but one
He calls out my Name and all the walls built come crumbling down!
The darkness cannot hid the wet cheeks,
No pretend,
No holding back, as broken as I am I stand,
This is the moment of weakness,
Time to put the iron look down, and let out the true self.

With firmness and gentleness in his voice he speaks to my conscience.
With strength and wisdom he walks with me in the desert,
With love and sincerity in his eyes he captures my heart,
With a smile on his face the room is filled with hope, and joy.

The world might not be all colorful,
But it's Ok...God's plan to show His love and presence is overwhelmingly amazing.
