  • Pieces Of The Puzzle

    Pieces of the puzzle

    There is Plenty of Air

    It’s okay to be able to see the beauty in things you yourself don’t have and understand that others have pieces of the puzzle. Jealousy stems from the perception of seeing someone else’s come up as your downfall. It doesn’t make you inadequate because you don’t have all of the pieces to the puzzle. Recently I talked about creating the pieces of the puzzle that you don’t have. However at times accepting that you don’t have all of the pieces and putting together what you have is all you need to do. Therefore, you need others to complete the puzzle.

    Keep On Planting

    The pieces are missing because the puzzle requires teamwork. The Most High gave each person a few pieces of the puzzle. He may bless one person to be good in the fields. It will seem like every seed they plant turns into a beautiful harvest. That doesn’t mean that you stop planting your seeds or look down upon your own. It just means wow the Most High really blessed their hands in the fields. I am a student of people who are skilled in different areas. I appreciate being able to learn from different people.

    Furthermore the Most High may bless someone with the ability to make fishing look easy. It doesn’t mean you should feel bad because they are gifted in fishing. Just because they are great at fishing it shouldn’t change the fact that you enjoy fishing also. Maybe you are good at understanding nature and animals. There are so many different skills necessary to complete the puzzle. Singing, counseling, drawing, cooking, teaching are all skills.

    Let Go Of The Hate

    Too many times people are being attacked by others just for daring to be outwardly happy about their blessings. If you can’t tell your friends your goods news, those are not your friends. Hearing about somebody else being happy shouldn’t make you sad. However, I am not talking about the toxic fake happiness when they just want you to think they are happy and their energy is giving mad as hell. In addition, their mouths are yelling I’m happy over and over because they want to compete with your true joy. 

    I am talking about when a person is genuinely feeling good about how their life is going it shouldn’t make you mad. Sometimes it just seems like people are just waiting on your marriage to fail, waiting on you to lose your job, waiting on you to get evicted. Life has ups and downs. Never use someone else’s downfall to prop yourself up and learn to be happy for others in their up seasons. With that being said, it is not always meant for you to complete the whole puzzle.

    People Need People

    One person definitely can not complete the Most High’s puzzle. If you think you can complete it by yourself; why weren’t you the only one created? Humans really do have a herd mentality.  Nonetheless we were created that way. This can be used against us or for us. Are you with the sheep that has thousands of members or  millions of members? I rather be with the sheep that has thousands of members because they are the thinkers.

    Be Picky About Your People

    The herd can be manipulated, that is why the media uses it against us. The larger the herd is the larger the lie. It is necessary for the sheep to follow the Most High in order to find freedom. Freedom from demonic strongholds that keeps a person’s spirit locked in bitterness, jealousy, depression, laziness, etc. There is a herd following the Most High too; you just can’t see the thousands as well as you can see the millions. One of the first things the Most High said to man is “it is not good for  man to be alone.” Therefore it is okay to need others; as long as you choose your crew wisely.

  • Bright Green

    Bright Green

    Looking Forward To Better Days

    Grey, beige, and a bright green sits around me making a circle. It is like knowing there are better days ahead which are bright green; while grey and beige feels like I am just out of place but in place at the same time. Still, that green is so bright and pretty. Grey and beige have taught me so much though. It’s like there is no green without grey and beige. The green is like the color of a Granny Smith apple. So gentle but so bright. Also it is just so light on the belly.

    A Weird Nightmare

    Grey and beige is like a weird nightmare. It’s one of the odd nightmares. You know how when you have nightmares where you get into a fight. In these fights for whatever reason you are fighting in slow motion and it seems impossible to win. Then there are the every once in a while dreams where you just beat the hell out of your enemy lol. This grey and beige is like that. When I have dreams I usually realize I am dreaming while dreaming. So I know that usually I am not able to move that fast. Therefore it surprises me that the version of me in the dream is winning like that.

    The Most High Runs The Show

    It’s a grey and a beige that I know the Most High has all control of. Grey and beige are being used against itself to cancel each color out. Grey and beige are serving its purpose. Which is a very necessary purpose. I don’t like it; but yet it has revealed so many new things to me. When I really think about it I feel bad for grey and a little for beige. As grey and beige attacks me; I feel bad that there is nothing I can do to take it to the bright green with me. It hates bright green. If it made it to the bright green it would only devise plans to destroy it.

    I Care But It Is Out Of My Hands

    It makes my stomach sink a little knowing that grey and beige will always be followers of red. Grey and beige can not see how to thrive in the midst of green. I just wonder what could have been done differently to free grey and beige of its own prison. It is like grey and beige can only see red. Therefore confusing itself into trying to destroy green. Green and red are enemies. Red has attempted to destroy the reputation of green many many times. Red despises that green represents the trees, grass, plants, herbs and many earthly things. The versions of red that are a main focus is a cut in the skin, or an injury of some sort. It’s like in some ways red reminds you of a loss.

    Focused On The Wrong Things

    Every time red looks at green it is pissed. So red attempted to destroy greens reputation by creating money. Money is a root of all evil. I always wonder why red didn’t just maximize the beauty that it can bring to the world. Red has gifts. One of the many gifts of red are all of the healthy fruits that are red. Let’s not forget the beauty of a red rose. The most beautiful role that red plays is a woman’s ability to conceive. Which is a menstrual cycle. You see red has only focused on the negatives of a menstrual cycle not realizing that without one you can not bring life into the world. I just wish that red could see its value. Then maybe it will stop trying to destroy green.

    Red Used You

    Green and red have two different purposes; but red will never be able to see its purpose. Red has recruited grey and beige to work on its behalf. Grey and beige are hypnotized by red. The thing is, red loves no one. The future for grey and beige is despair because every color that follows red has a terrible ending. I can’t take you to the green with me because of all of the things that have happened. Nevertheless, there is a route for grey and beige to get to green on their own. First they would need to have a talk with the Most High to be purged of red. Then they will have to prove to the Most High they are worthy. It doesn’t matter how long it takes. Only then can they make it to green.

  • Color Blue

    The feeling of the color blue

    Blue Is Not What It Seems

     Healing is blue to me. Therefore I think the color blue deserves a second chance. I love the color blue. After all, blue is the color of the sky and resembles the ocean. The color is so calming. I wonder how a term for sadness became “feeling blue”. In my opinion it should be called “feeling red or grey”. Red is the color of blood which is not a peaceful thing to think about. Not knowing my worth was the color red for me. I didn’t just become a person of morals and spiritual conviction overnight.

    Subconsciously Worthless

    There was a time when I subconsciously thought I deserved nothing. No apology for being mistreated. No food if there were two plates and three people. Short of no say on how I should be treated. Nevertheless, I didn’t know that I was doing these things. It was all subconscious because if I had known I would have stopped it. I have never been afraid to defend myself. However when it came to me I had no standards. Which is weird because when it came to others I would defend them even if I had to stand alone.

    Punishing Yourself

    For all of that I taught people that I was a tool to be used. Through me not loving myself I gave others who use your weakness against you permission to mistreat me. No I am no angel I have hurt people also, but I learned from it. I made amends by choosing not to be that person; but I never forgave myself. Still, I was extremely selfish up until around the age of 21. Life was lived day to day not thinking about the trespasses of yesterday or the consequences that were ahead of me. Life was red for me and I hit many rock bottoms to get to blue.

    Thinking They Got Away With It

    One thing that I can say is that a lot of times I learned from my mistakes. Which is how I became a person that I can be happy with today. Through the years of me learning that I also deserve to be treated fairly I have noticed a strange thing about people. I’ve learned that when a person hurts you and you don’t address it; they feel as if they did no wrong. If you dare to separate yourself or decline their request because of their record of manipulation, they feel wronged. It is as if they truly think that what they did is not a factor in your decision.

    Accountability Test

    See when I was wrong I knew why I was being told no. That’s how I learned from it through accountability. My grandmother’s are who I hurt the worst. The two people in my life who were there for me. I almost want to cry just thinking that I hurt these two beautiful people. How did I become a genuinely decent person you ask? I was given the whooping of my life by my bad decisions and the Most High. Everything was taken from me. I was thrown in a hole so deep that it was utter darkness.

    Growing Through The Pain

    While I was sitting at the bottom of the pit I had time to truly reflect on who I wanted to be. So I started climbing and climbing and climbing until I reached the surface again. While climbing I picked up so much armor I didn’t even recognize myself. I couldn’t have done it without the almighty Yah. Although it was hard I abandoned red and met the color blue. I still am not good at saying you hurt me. Although I don’t allow myself to be mistreated; I tend to ghost anyone who I feel hurt me. I don’t like to talk about it. Anytime that I have told most people what hurts me it is used against me.

    Romans 5:3-5King James Version

    3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

    4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

    5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

    My Love Verbs To You

    I share this because I want you to remember to value others but don’t forget about you. Don’t punish yourself forever for the past. With true repentance you deserve a second chance. People who you hurt in the past may not give you a second chance. Although things are that way, they also deserve their space to heal. If that means that you can’t be a part of their life, love them enough to apologize and give them their space. Once you do that forgive yourself. Don’t let nobody tell you that you deserve to be treated less than a human. Love yourself, you are worth a second chance. Let red be a thing of the past; you deserve to feel blue.
