The Wait

What is this feeling am feeling     
What do i long for             
What is it that i yearn for        
Do i really want to find out      
Is there anyone to tell me or do i have to discover it by myself
Am so scared of what it will reveal, will i be up to it

Sometimes i feel empty
And other times i feel so full waiting to explode.
Am tired of dis roller coaster of emotions                    
So what exactly do i want          
I want more out of life                
I need more out of life                 

 Its all in my hands i know           
 I just have to reachout to get it
But that in itself is a challenge      
I want to explode but am holding back
Why i cannot say 

Everyone says its a matter of time
But i have learnt time waits for no one
I am tired of waiting 
But wait i must
Patient i must be 
For my longing to be quenched.

LET IT GO

I did not write this but i read this at a particular time in my life when i was holding on to something i should have let go way back.
It hit melike thunderbolt.

When people can walk away from you: let them walk.
I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.
When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that
left. The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]
People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go.
And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the unwilling dead..
You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over.
Let me tell you something.. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye.. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes a bit of sweat I will appreciate it more. Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!! If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ........ LET IT GO!!!
If someone has angered you. LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge..... LET IT GO!!!
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction... LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents .....LET IT GO!!!
If you! have a bad attitude.... ...LET IT GO!!!
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better......LET IT GO!!!
If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him..........LET IT GO!!!
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship. .... LET IT GO!!!
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves.. ....LET IT GO!!!
If you're feeling depressed and stressed...........LET IT GO!!!
If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying 'take your hands off of it,'then you need to.......LET IT GO!!!

STICKS AND STONES

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!
I have heard these idioms used a lot and I have even used it a lot myself. But yesterday I had a deeper understanding of the meaning. I heard some comments about me recently which I taught didn’t mean a thing but I was hurt. Not because of the words said but because I expected more from the person who said it. But as always, human will always be humans and no matter what you do, you can never satisfy everyone.
The most beautiful thing about this event is that, I was lifted by the end of the day.
You want to know how? i'll tell you...
I went through the day not realising that I had kept these words in my heart and i was hurting. Until I got to our Monday night prayer meeting (tanks to PGCF) and was I touched at that meeting. We read Numbers 17 and prayed some heavy prayers and I felt God was speaking to me so much more that I had to go back and study Chapter 16 too. And I realised that even from time past, things like these have been happening even at a much more higher degree than am going through. I was deeply encouraged and lifted because I wasn’t expecting God to reach out to me that fast and direct. God is truly our very present help and HE cares about even the little things that seem so insignificant.
I have released the person and i know I just need to keep on doing my best no matter what anyone says and I believe by the Grace of God i will keep on getting better. Anyone out there feeling down or discouraged because of what someone has said about you read Numbers 16 and 17 and just shake it off.
IF NO ONE TALKS ABOUT YOU THEN YOU ARE A NOBODY!
