I haven't written in forever. I have so much going on right now. I am in school, working two jobs, a new grandmother, and my daddy is gone. Is anyone playing the violins yet? I sound like a broken record right? Sound like I'm passing out invitations to a pity party. Well I have got to tighten up. My daddy told me that I need to pursue my dreams and goals to the end. That means little girl, write your poems, write your songs, and write your books and find someone that wants to buy them. I keep quitting because it's so frustrating. I told daddy that I was going to do it, and I am. I have got to focus and make it happen. Before daddy died he wrote a song too, and I told him I would get it copy written and he said "I sure do appreciate that." I need to figure out how to make it work. How to put the effort and time needed into this gift that God has blessed me with. Being a true woman of God is hard work because if you aren't careful you'll find that you have put all your carnal mess before God. Daddy told me to make sure I put God first, and I know that's what I need to do. It's just so hard making sure I do it with everything going on. (violins) Well the Bible does say, and you all know it because anybody with a little bit of God knows... Matthew 6:33 reads Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need. Get it together Brenda, Get it together Brenda, Get it together Brenda. Praise God, I am going to get it together, no matter how long it takes. I'm going to trust God, and while trusting Him taking action toward the place He has for me. Daddy's gone, but not forgotten. I remember what he's taught me, and until I do what my father says, I won't do what my Father says.
God bless and I love ya,
Woman Highly Favored of God
Asalamu Alaykom,
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad that no one commented on this post. You wrote with a lot of heart. It hurts when no one says, "I heard you". It's a year and a half later but I heard you. I'm sorry for your loss.
To me, it sounds like you had such a real connection with your father. You had something not everyone has. Thank God for what we are given and for what is taken away.
I'm sad that you stopped writing. I would like to read more. I'll go back through your archives and see what else you put together.
Brenda, you have a lot to offer. Don't hide it away because of excuses. You get back out there and be all that you can. I think you're amazing.
Love and Light!
Thank you. I believe that God sent you to me through this. I have been hiding behind excuses. I am in tears now with shame because of it. Thank you and God bless you. I am going to do this. You be blessed and thanks for the encouraging words.
