Prayer Time ♥ ♥ ♥

These are the things that I pray for...

Dear heavenly Father, I ask you for wisdom and guidance.  You are my Jehovah Rohi, the Lord my shepherd.  I pray that You anoint my heart so that I desire to seek you for wisdom.  I pray that You shed light into my life.  Whatever is shrouded in darkness will always come to light.


I pray for health.  For Lord God You are my Jehovah Rapha, a God of healing.  I ask that You banish sickness from my body and from the bodies of my loved ones.  I ask that You heal the body down to the cellular level and repair what has been broken.


I pray for prosperity.  For God You are my Jehovah Jireh, the Lord my provider.  I ask that You anoint me and my loved ones who are in need for better job opportunities.  I pray that You open up the job market to me and my loved ones, so that employers are receptive to our resumes and job applications.    I trust that through hard work and dedication to You, that our blessings shall multiply.


I pray for positive, loyal, and uplifting friendships.  Lord You are El Elyon, God on most high.  I pray that You are the center of my friendships and my relationship.  I ask that You anoint me to be a blessing in other's lives, and that my friends are blessings in my life.  I pray for the strength to recognize what relationships are honorable and pleasing to You, and the wisdom to know which relationships to sever.


I pray for happiness.  Lord You are Jehovah Shalom, a God of peace.  I ask that You influence my heart to love the little things in life and to find happiness even amongst the darkness.


Amen!

Romantic Thoughts...

Friday, April 22, 2011

The other day I was watching a movie called "The Wedding Date" and the hunky guy that was the main character's date said, "Every woman has exactly the type of relationship she wants."  I was thinking about that today...so many women have bad relationships, but they couldn't possibly want that.  However, the hunk is right.  Our relationships manifest based on what we're focused on.  So let's focus on beauty, laughter, spontaneity, loyalty, uplifting, love, kisses, intimacy, trust, honesty, warmth, comfort, sweetness, thoughtfulness, appreciation, and all of the other things we love about relationships...



























Good Ole Country Air

Sunday, April 17, 2011

I need to get away and clear my head.  Nothing good ole country air can't cure!  Who wants to plan a road trip???


I just feel like I need to get my mind back in the right place.  I need to relax, renew, refresh....


Have my own lil' personal escape, where no one can find me, and no one can hurt me...


Get back to simplicity and really enjoy the things that matter...


Its time to refocus on things that are important to me...like God, family, friendship, and passion...


School and work can be pretty stressful, but I can't cave in.  Things will get easier...


Definitely some changes are very necessary to progress, advance, evolve.  Out with the old, and in with the new...

I think in a couple of weeks I'll reserve a weekend to just go visit some family and friends down south and just get away from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan life.  Sometimes I get so stressed out I can't sleep, or I forget to eat.  I'm not depressed or anything, just feeling a little burnt out.  So the serenity of the country would be therapeutic right about now :)

Until next time...

Date Night: Dinner & Jazz Concert

Saturday, April 16, 2011

Hey everyone! You're in for a special treat.  I rarely double blog in the same day, but since my earlier blog was such a downer, I decided I want to tell everyone about the amazing date my boyfriend took me on today.

I know my day got off to a rough start...but I don't ever kid with people on this -- yelling and shouting don't work with me.  I don't expect everyone in the world to agree with me all of the time (even though I'm always right), and anyone is free to disagree with me...but don't disagree with me 8 octaves above normal speaking voice.  I don't handle or cope with that type of interaction well at all...and I'm sure my face says it all because my face is transparent to emotion.  Sometimes I wish I could hide what I'm really feeling...but I'm beyond that now.


I got my hair done!  Chanel always does a lovely job.  I even got highlights even though you can barely see them in this pic.  I'm also wearing the new maxi dress I bought from Asos.  I'll have to take more pics so you all can see how cute it is!


I've barely seen Malik all week, so I really wanted us to get some quality time in.  I let him pick a new restaurant that we've both never been to, to have dinner at tonight.  He picked Ardeo & Bardeo, which is  rated as one Washington's Top 100 restaurants.


It was very beautiful inside with an art deco modern style, and an intimate environment.


I ordered Lamb Ravioli with split peas, mushrooms, served over fried yogurt.  Sounds a bit 'out there' but it was so deeeelicious!  Every last bite was rich in flavor!


Malik ordered Scottish Salmon with english pea salad, pickled ramps, over a carrot puree.  It's very seldom that I see him completely satisfied with his food, but he couldn't stop talking about how good it was!  I had to steal a bite to see and it was very good!


I thought dinner was a special treat, but the real treat was the Eldar Jazz Concert my cutie pie took me to afterwards!


Eldar performed with his band...they are all unmarried by the way ladies...I checked the ring fingers ;D


They specialized in adapted versions of Jazz music as well as some original American Jazz inspired pieces.


Eldar and his band's talent is amazing!  My baby got us front row tables, so it was truly an excellent musical experience.

Over all this was a great date night with my honey bun :)  I truly do cherish the time we spend together.

Until next time...

Trying To Keep It Together

I really hate feeling like this...


I am in a really emotionally vulnerable place...


I just feel like you should be able to trust that special person in your life...


Because we're a team, partners, on the same side...not enemies...


But maybe I'm just naive...


Or maybe it has a lot less to do with me than I really think...


Many times people focus on the flaws of others to mask their own issues...


But I shouldn't be so sensitive, I should be more confident in myself...


God made me beautiful inside and out.  He let me make mistakes...


So I could learn to be a better person, lover, and friend ♥

Until next time...
