10 totally honest things about me:

TEN: I was a lustful being for over 30 years of my life and now I am practicing celibacy until I get married. I have fallen many times but my desire to please God outweighs my desire to please my sexual cravings, so I get back up again and pray for strength to stay standing. Lord, please continue to keep my on this celibacy path so that I can be pure for my future husband on our honeymoon.

NINE: I believe that the man who will win my heart will be one who speaks the word of God to me. I used to love hazel eyes, muscles, and strong legs. Now I find myself attracted to men who have their eyes on Jesus, are secure and strong in Christ, and stand on faith. Lord, I trust that you will grant me the desires of my heart for it is your will for me to have a husband who follows your commands and loves me like Christ loves the church.

EIGHT: I used to be very insecure about my weight. I still have my days here and there, but I know I am beautiful inside and out. I also, know that I can lose weight with discipline and better eating and exercise habits. Lord, please teach me to be disciplined so that I will honor you with my temple and live a long and healthy life.

SEVEN: There is an old lady who lives inside of me. I love playing old ladies and even when I’m not acting she comes out of me. Some of my friends and even the teens I work with think of me as the grandma. Lord, thank you for wisdom beyond my age. I also thank you in advance that I will one day be a biological grandmother to many children.

SIX: I purposely don’t have a favorite bloggers list posted on my page, because I want everyone who stops by my blog to know they are favored by me, but most importantly by God. I use bloglines.com to keep up with my blog family’s latest posts. Lord, please bless everyone of my brothers and sisters who have stopped by my blog in the past, who still stop by, and even those who have yet to run across Ink on the Sheets.

FIVE: I am a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. and I was the captain of my line back in 1993. As much as I love my sorors I rarely go to any group functions, because I’m an “old lady”. However, whenever I do go out I’m always so happy to be apart of such a fine group of women. Also, I don’t get into debates with other women who belong to Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, or Zeta Phi Beta because I feel we are all equally blessed to have a sisterhood that was designed just for us. I got love for any sistah rather she’s apart of my organization or not. I feel pink and green, red and white, and blue and white are just as lovely together as my sorority colors of blue and gold. Lord, please continue to grow each and every one of the 4 sororities that I just named. Lead women with serving hearts to each of those organizations so that the legacy may live on.

FOUR: Speaking of red, I truly think I’m cute when I have on red. If don’t nobody else tell me, I’ll look in the mirror and say “your pretty in red”. I never really had a favorite color, but red has become one of them since it reminds me of the blood of Jesus. God thank you so much for loving the world that you gave your only begotten son, so that whoever believes in him would not perish but have eternal life.

THREE: I keep joking about ending up with a “Christian Puerto Rican husband” especially since I now go to a church that is 65% Puerto Rican. Truth of the matter is my first crush in grammar school was a Puerto Rican and I never forgot about that boy. People think I’m Spanish half the time anyway, so it’ll work! God I am open to whoever you have for me. Please help me to receive him in whatever package you send him to me in. I trust you with my heart and I lean not on my own understanding.

TWO: I’m mixed with shy, out-going, and silly. That’s a strange combination, but I can be very shy until I know someone and then my outgoing and silly sides come out. However, there are times where I can be very out-going and a person would swear on a stack of bibles that I’m lying about having a shy side. God let me always be comfortable in the skin I am in and let me represent you with boldness.

ONE: I love God very much. I’m like crazy in love with him. I don’t even understand how I spent so many years not open to his presence, voice, guidance and love. It’s my love for God that is making me be a better me each day. I strive to make my Daddy God proud of me and when I mess up I appreciate his loving discipline. He is my everything and if I had nothing I’d be complete just knowing that He loves me unconditionally and that he always wants what is best for me. God, thank you so much for being my everything and for always forgiving me and guiding me. You are truly awesome and I adore you more than words can express, so please continue to teach me to let my actions speak louder than words.

SAY IT AGAIN SISTAH KITTEN (textscriptz instant replay)

I pray Jesus fills your mind and soul today and everyday.

I remember back in the day my friends and I would love to play games, particularly games that required someone chasing the rest of the group. We would all bunch up together and put our feet in the inner circle while one person would do a clever rhyme to eliminate everyone. The purpose of the clever rhyme was to randomly choose the one who would be “it” which was always the last one standing. I can recall that the person responsible for eliminating the players from the circle would always find a way to ensure that they were not the last man standing. Well, at least I can recall that I rarely ended up being “it” when I was the “clever rhymer”. Anyway, games were fun back in those days, but life is real and I’m too old to still be playing “It”!

Sometimes in our immature or vulnerable state of mind, the devil chooses us to play games with. As the master manipulator of the mind, he takes any and all opportunities to keep us from maturing in Christ. That lying devil will trick us into believing that happiness remains on the playground that we once ran on. You know, the place where we would fornicate, lie, steal, cuss, fight, cheat; where we would down right fulfill our earthly nature. See he doesn’t want us to grow up, and realize that playing with him keeps us from truly living a liberated and abundant life.

Mr. Manipulator desires to eliminate us from the kingdom of God by reciting clever rhymes in our minds and unfruitful memories. However, family if we keep our minds focused on Jesus, the devil cannot make it his play yard. So therefore, “set your minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2). Let’s stop looking over the fence and keep looking up to the sky. Instead of chasing the group let’s chase Jesus, because IT gets no better than Him!

P.S.
GOT GOD? If you do not know God on a personal level this prayer can start your walk with him today…….
God, I am a sinner and I know I do not deserve your grace or mercy. Still, I trust you and I believe that you sent your son to earth and that he died and rose again for my sins. I thank you Lord for the personal gift of salvation. Amen.

Sailed to Heaven on a Plate

Today I cruised on a Sunday afternoon to my friend’s house for a promised meal. Tacos are my absolute favorite dish, so he prepared tacos for me on a whole different level. I sat and watched as he quickly and passionately made lunch for us. To my surprise the fish tacos were quick and simple to make, but they tasted like no other taco I’ve ever had in my life. The fish was seasoned and finger licking good, but it was the flavored sour cream and pico de gallo that put the icing on cake so to speak!

The meal was great and the only regret that I have about this trip was I didn't save a bite for left overs.......Check him out below:

I had a million thoughts #11---#13

I wonder what a man who treats strangers better than his child reaps? Why do some fathers sow the dead beat daddy seed? Where would the fatherless be without God?

I had a million thoughts #10

I had a simple thought for a serious matter the other night. Marriage means that you are saying “I want to be with this person for the rest of my life” ……………………………..

I wonder why everyone doesn’t put serious thought behind such a serious statement before saying “I do”? And why some say “I do” to such a serious commitment, but don’t take that commitment serious????????????????????????????????????????????????

Fear Ain't Real....God is!

I was just thinking about FEAR which is nothing but a word that means false evidence appearing real. However, that little four letter word sometimes has the power to keep people stagnant for years. Below are a few fears that exist in some people, but none of them are real!

Fear of Failing-Some fear failing so they avoid success only to live as a failure. FEAR AINT REAL!

Fear of Loneliness-Some fear being alone so they settle for less. FEAR AINT REAL!

Fear of Rejection-Some fear being rejected by others so they isolate themselves and live a lonely life. FEAR AINT REAL!

Fear of Love- Some fear love and so they close off their hearts and minds to love, which in turn often ends up hurting those around them who seek to love them. FEAR AINT REAL!

Now the only fear I do believe in and promote is the fear of the Lord. In fact Proverbs 9:10 says “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Perhaps if fear must exist in some of us, let’s channel that fear toward another four letter word, the LORD.

Fear of the Lord is Pure: (Psalms 19:9)
Fear of the Lord adds length to life: (Proverbs 10:27)
Fear of the Lord is a fountain of life: (Proverbs 14:27)
Fear of the Lord teaches a man wisdom: (Proverb 15:33)

I pray that those who walk in fear will learn to fear the Lord and live abundantly knowing that there is no need to fear anything or anyone else for He (the Lord God) is with them (Isaiah 41:10). NOW THAT’S REAL!!!

Glory to God

If God is with you.........
who can be against you?
If you know that God is for you.....
take a moment to give Him glory!

Feel free to give a shout out to God for all that He's done and all that He will do........Praise HIM!!
