Sister... You Been On My Mind...

My sister looked into my eyes and said, "I see revelation there."
My sister looked into my spirit and said, "I see beautiful there."
My sister looked into my heart and said, "I see trouble there."
My sister looked into my face and saw a world of possibility stretched out over a splendid horizon...

I offer praise for my sisters that have stood as firm as trees aligned on this road toward glory. I salute you all for not swaying in my wind, providing shelter from the rain and shade from the sweltering sun. I could never offer enough thanks for these God-sends that have allowed my struggle to come full circle. God had mapped out the circumference of this trial and eloquently planted these trees to sustain me. And I offer Praise.

A little sister of mine opened her spirit up to me, shining wisdome beyond her own understanding. Her light was so bright through such a beautiful correspondence that I cried. Not only does LIGHT recognize LIGHT, it offers warmth to its counterpart. I salute you little sister. And I thank you for seeing my spirit for what it is, for seeing my eyes and what they hold, and my heart for what it endures. Though you are far from a blank page... your heart did provide me an answer.

Love That...

The HOW is not always the important question. In many instances, the ARE/IS can be the best thing you have in life.

You ARE beautiful.
You ARE divinely chosen.
The time IS now.

Why ask God how I became beautiful in His sight? Why ask God how my lot was cast? The bottom line is that these things are already in existence. I have been chosen to bring forth words at this very moment for my spirit to speak and for divine domino effects to happen. Why ask HOW? Why ask why?

He chose me and He chose you. To fight the fights we fight and endure the battles we endure. He has chosen us to be valiant and a strong warrior must train. Fortitude is not accomplished overnight. It takes fire to bring forth gold.

So why question the HOW when it already IS in your life? There are no accidents; no flukes of nature; no coincidences. Love what you are given because those that are content with the lot they are cast understand the love they have received from Heaven. They understand the divine concept of love and that it endureth forever overshadowing circumstance, temporary trial or mishapen thought processes. God's love goes beyond my circumstance, beyond my mind's trial and makes my spirit shimmer.

So love that. Love what you have been chosen to become.

It takes a woman to know herself in order to love others fully. I encourage the establishment of the womanly self before attempting to fulfill womanly duties. It is a difficult task... but our job is even more difficult. Could it be that God has set this challenge upon us in order for us to fulfill our roles more fully at a later time?

At 21 I am not as wise as I one day will be. It is a difficult time right now... But only within the confinements of my mind. The eyes do not bear witness to the storms of my spirit. (your eyes nor mine) My life looks as if every cusp glistens brightly... but the mind is the navigator of life. Only when your mind is sound enough to follow the spirit does positivity manifest itself before your eyes. THAT is the journey my feet have found. That road is the road I've grown accustomed to. I have not always followed it according to plan. I have stopped for water... entertainment... got hustled a few times... but with focus and determination I am back.

My mind and my spirit must become one. So that I might follow my God more boldly and obediently in establishing myself and building the confidence shed on this rough road. But, I believe. And because I believe, it is done.

Golden,
Zarina Dawn.
