running

been running for so long
fast and hard
lungs feel like they're are collapsing
body feels like it'll fall apart
suddenly
... i realize it's not my race
so i hand over the baton
and slow down my pace

the power of life and death

They say the power of life and death is in the tongue

But if you know this and believe this why would you say

Those words that would ultimately kill my love for you

You say that you are sorry and you love me and you want it to work

But just like an abusive man or an addicted man you are in denial man

Wake up and realize that everything you do and say

Has an impact on more than you think

They say the power of life and death is in the tongue

Well I speak life over you and I would hope that you

Would speak life over me…but instead

What you say cuts like the sharpest knife

Bruises like the hardest punch

Degrades like the master to his slave

If you believe it then speak it and know that

It has power

When you speak positive then your actions are positive

Therefore your are positive and then you speak positive

And your actions are positive and then you are positive

You see it is a circle just like with most things in life

So the same would be true of speaking negative

The Word says that the power of life and death is in the tongue

So stop trying to kill me, you, us, we…

addiction

If I drank, i'd be an alcoholic. If I smoked, i'd look like a chimney. if I were weaker in spirit and enjoyed sex a little too much i'd be a whore. If I indulged in any illicit drugs i'd od on heroin, coke or crack. But since my weakness is the Most High I will overdose on Jesus!

random thought

How patient is a person supposed to be when it comes to the lack of self control exhibited by another person, in particular, someone that you love?

Do you badger the loved one until they get it, do you leave them alone, do you pray them through it, what do you do? I know someone that has an addiction, it's not a harsh one but an addiction nonetheless, and I just wonder how their loved ones are dealing with it.

I can lend all kinds of advice, words of wisdom and prayers but ultimately the decision is theirs as to how they get through it. Hmmm, I suppose I'll just keep praying for them and be that shoulder to lean on or give the hugs when needed.

promo

In this economy, that thankfully is finally turning around, it is still dificult to get employment. But for those of us that are employed, are we wlling to take risks and if so, how much of one? My employer has a position open and I've decided to throw my hat in the ring for it. Now realistically my chances of getting it are slim because of how the company operates, it's very politically connected, but I figure the worst they can tell me is no. I'm no stranger to the word "no" so they won't hurt my feelings and I have nothing to lose because even if they say "no" they will know that I'm serious about progression.

However, they should know that I'm serious because I went for and got a promotion a year ago. I do like what I do and the people I work with but why stifle myself when I have the talent, skills and gumption to go to the next level of me. I went for the previous upswing to hone my skills and experience and if they say no I'll keep working until they say yes or an opportunity arises to move on.

So if a promotion comes up, go for it, don't be afraid to hear the word"no" and if you do hear it keep working on improving yourself until they can't help but say yes.

Peace and blessings!
