For some time now...I've been waking up singing a song named "More than Words" by Extreme!!These are the exact lyrics I would wake up singing-Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me...I didn't quite understand why I would wake up singing this secular song.So, I would change it up and start singing a worship song.Like,I stated I had no clue to why this song was embedded in my brain...that is until now!!I recently decided to change my lifestyle and chose to eat healthier and exercise. I would take pics or look in the mirror and not like what I would see. So,I made my choice and knew what needed to be done.But,it went deeper than just a lifestyle change...I realized I needed a spiritual lifestyle change as well.For some time now,I would tell God that I want more of Him and less of me...but didn't put action into my words. It's funny that we like to use sayings like"ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS or "SHOW ME THAT YOU LOVE ME".Last Saturday,God granted me to get baptized again.You must be saying "why do it again,if you already were baptized"!I backslid and it was something that was in my heart to do and God answered the yearning in my heart.That morning I decided to let go of the all the crud I picked up when I backslid. I felt renewed and refreshed!!My sis Carmalisa calls me in the afternoon of that Saturday and we just start chatting. I tell her that I now know why God uprooted me...He knew that I needed a new dawn in my life. So,He sent me to NEW DAWN and gave me a fresh start(a new dawn).I realized that I was given what my heart wanted and that NOW is the time to get up,do it and really change my spiritual lifestyle...to one where my ACTIONS speak instead of my WORDS.I know God loves me and that He knows I love him. But,I need to show Him by putting Him where He belongs...at the TOP!!God isn't asking me for much...He just wants His one on one with His princess. He wants me to give Him some of my time...to put Him first in everything I do. HE WANTS TO BE THE CENTER OF IT ALL AND GUESS WHAT I WANT HIM AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL!! I'm so thankful that God never gave up on me and for allowing me to get here with His guidance!! You know something "I'm not where I want to be but at least I'm not where I use to be!!"
Lord,I thank you for helping me come to my senses...You are my ROCK and my ALL!!
Lord, I pray that whoever is struggling in their walk with You...that You help them as You have helped me and continue to help me. That they realize when they see only one pair of footprints...that it is You carrying them through all their struggles and that they don't give up because You haven't given up on them. In Jesus name...amen!!
