Many times we have all stood at the crossroads of life. Many times standing there wondering which way to go. But , never count God out of the plan because he holds the future in His hand. Sometimes, life takes an unexpected turn, and we refuse to become embittered or frustrated with God because He knows what’s up ahead. He can see the sunshine, even though we are walking through the dark valley.

At six weeks old, Fannie Crosby lost her eyesight at the hands of a man who claimed to be a physician. This left the family in shock and gave them much sorrow. Yes, But years later , she wrote” If this accident was a mistake and if prefect earthly sight were offered to me tomorrow, I would not accept it.” From her viewpoint, it was the will of God.

Fannie Crosby wrote:

All the way my Savior leads me, What have I to ask beside?

Can I doubt a His tender mercy, Who through life been my guide?

Heavenly peace, divinest comfort, here by faith in Him to dwell!

For I know what’re befall me, Jesus doeth all things well.

For I know what’re befall me, Jesus doeth all thing well.

Life will hold many moments of joy and hope. It also contain many trails and tribulations that will test our faith in the One who gives life. Instead of focusing on our circumstances, learn to watch for God’s direction, and there comes that special peace of mind and in your heart you know that it’s beyond anything in this world.

God can take your trails, heartaches, suffering and even our sins and turn them into something good? Come here Abraham and Sarah I need a witness. The problem with Sarah was that she was beyond childbearing age.she was at least ninety if I recall correctly. That let me know that God will allow us to wait for His will to unfold, and I am determined that God’s destined for us cannot be changed. It will take place.

Sarah laughed at God , the creator, when He told her that she would have a son. The Lord asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh?.” (Gen.18:13) Have you ever been caught by God when you doubted His promise or instructions? Yes! We have quenched the Spirit through lack of faith in His ability.

Sarah got tried of waiting. Sarah was disobedience by rushing ahead and went into another direction. We all know what happened , Sarah suffered from her own plight.

Timing is everything. God has set a certain time for events to happen. Things that will unfold in your life and in the future. Fasting, for our own motives, will not change His mind.

Not only did Sarah laugh at God’s promise to Abraham, but years before, she had taken matters into her own hand. She recruited a maid to have a child with her husband.

There are many aspects of God ‘s will that we must accept by faith. This is because He is God and there is non other.

In a relationship, you need somebody who’s gonna call you out, not someone who’s gonna let everything slide. You need someone who doesn’t want to live without you but can. Not somebody that is dependent but somebody who is stronger with you. A relationship is two people, not one.

“I love you but I’m mad at you is one of the most freeing, important things you can say in a stable relationship or in a friendship. To know that you have the ability and the right to be mad at someone and know that it doesn’t mean things are over, that it doesn’t mean things are irreparable. That it just means I’m mad, but I still love you. I love you but for now, I need “alone” time until I cool off.”

“If you’re ever going to love me, love me now while I can know. All the sweet and tender feelings which from real affection flow. Love me now, while I’m living; do not wait ’til I am gone. And then chisel it on marble – words on ice, cold stone.
If you have dear sweet thoughts about me. Why not whisper them to me? Don’t you know it would make me happy and as glad as glad could be? If you wait until I’m sleeping, never to awaken here again, there will be walls of earth between us and couldn’t hear you then. I won’t need your kind caresses when the grass grows over my face. I won’t crave your love or kisses in my last low resting place. So then, if you love me any, if it’s but a little bit.
Let me know while I am living, so I can own it treasure it.

Matthew 11:7-19 KJV

And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?    But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.    But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.    For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.    Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.    And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.    For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.    And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.    He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.    But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,    And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.    For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.    The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
Matthew 11:7-19mi

I have been asked to say a few words at a memorial service, beening a pator still is difficult,  yet important. 
Cyrus M. Copeland,  says a great eulogy is both art and architecture-a bridge between the living and the dead,  memory and eternity. ”
“What will people. say about me when it’s time to say goodbye?”

There is no soul mate or best friend out there who will solve every one of your problems. There is no love at first sight that lasts without work and commitment. But there are, however, people out there worth fighting for. Not because they’re perfect, but because they’re imperfect in all the ways that are right for you. You compliment each other’s flaws in a way that allows your souls to unite and operate more efficiently as one. You will know when you meet one of these people, when through them you meet the very best in yourself.

Don’t let anyone invalidate or minimize how you feel. If you feel something, you feel it and it’s real to you. Nothing anyone says has the power to invalidate that, ever. No one else lives in your body. No one else sees life through your eyes. No one else has lived through your experiences. And so, no one else has the right to dictate or judge how you feel. Your feelings are important and you deserve to be heard. They are inherently valid and they matter.Be true to yourself and your body.

I think a lot of people don’t understand what real romance is. Anyone can buy flowers, candy and jewelry. The truly romantic things in life are those little things you do every day to show you care, and that you’re thinking of them. It’s going out of your way to make them happy. The way you hold her hand when you know she’s scared, or you save the last piece of cake for him. The random text or call in the middle of the day, just to say “I love you” or “I miss you”. The way he stops to kiss you when he passes by. It’s dedicating her favorite song to her, and letting her eat your fries; telling her she’s beautiful. It’s putting your favorite show on pause so she can tell you about her day, and laughing at his jokes, even the really lame ones. It’s slow dancing in the kitchen and kissing in the rain. Romance isn’t about buying, it’s about giving. True romance is in gestures.

The Longer You Wait For Something, The More You Appreciate It When You Get It. Because Anything Worth Having Is Definitely Worth Waiting For. True Love Is Worth The Wait.

First.. I have acknowledged my success and a friend has acknowledged with me.

Long held resentments have been aired. Past defeats and disappointments have been re-sized and properly proportioned in the context of a long life. My worst insecurities have been examined and their histories illuminated. I have made peace with my enemies and forgiven my tormentors. I am strong and clear-headed. I have stepped up to myfears and studied them squarely and objectively. My formerly dirty laundry is clean, folded and put in its place.

I have transformed my physical self. The image reflected in the mirror is a happy one. This is who I am and is wonderful. I can now feel the beauty of my body. A deep breath is an experience of fabulous sensations. As my relationship with my body develops, I become closer to nature.

My spiritual self has also been awakened. My religious beliefs have been identified, discarded and chosen. Every day, I am aware of the beauty of life.  My time on this earth is a celebration. I  can now stand on the front lines and applaud every dawn.

I am letting  the world know that I am ready for love? Just by the  glow on my face and being sure of humility.  The beauty of my attitude is an invitation to a kindred soul. My good works are offered as supporting evidence. Now is the time to step back, as you leap forward and see what life brings. I was told no matter where my hands are placed  it gives blessings

As I  prepare for this journey to partnership and let the world know that I am ready, I must pack my bag with practice ,patience and understanding. I am ready but is the  the rest of the world ready for me . I can  accept this with patience and understanding. I have been  ready to say hello to my soulmate but he may need to finish somethings first or secure things for us before he can smile back.

Patience allows me to look deeper. Our society places a great importance on first impressions, but you know how unreliable first impressions really are. Patience has let me inquire and discover another person’s true characteristics. Patience has allowed me  to listen.
To glow, or to radiate the goodness that is in me, requires me to take a step back. It demands that I let go of certain desires and accept what life presents to me. Does it really matter what statue your soulmate has? Does he have to be a celebrity? Is it mandatory that he be rich? Let that go.

This is not to say that I must abandon my goals. On some issues, I will want to act aggressively. In the matters of love, it is best to be patient and understanding. I’m told I cannot rush time. Every season has many days.

I’ve learned to be gracious in life.To glow requires a sense of self, a readiness to action and a predisposition of grace. I aspire to beauty. I chose goodwill. I prefer the clarity of light and understanding to the darkness of judgment and prejudice. MY actions reflects these beliefs. As I wait and observe patiently, be gracious with all whom I encounter. This is the high road. Always walk with grace. Choose graciousness. People will notice your Glow.

I have obtained confident while waiting. I don’t need to shout. Confidence is a very quiet emotion. Confidence is not a hope, but a belief. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Confidence is silent. When confidence becomes too loud, we are introduced to a braggart. Confidence can be seen. It is easy to identify. To be confident is to Glow. Step back, relax and radiate.

And at last Ive learned  just how to be Me.All of my hard work is over. Now,I can relax. Just be who I am in this moment , this second and this hour There is nothing left to do. No worries to make. No anxieties to distress. Just be Me. Like the brightest star or the most powerful lighthouse, my new found grace, confidence and compassion is a beacon. To glow is to tell the world that I am ready for this love. Glow.. Queen……Waiting for your King.
