DEAR READERS Matthew 6 helped me

It is important to surround yourself with good friends.  My best friend and I, it took time for us to be good friends. The time helped us grow into a good friendship.  We have been friends now for 8 years and it was after 4 years of a rocky friendship….our lives started to interlink and it made us realized that we are spiritual twins…Well today, my spiritual twin had giving me a scripture that I well needed.   I have always been the worried one but I will just shake off.  BUT sometimes I will worry too much and I could not handle the pressure.
After a long time of no break in my life, I had a break today and I had FINALLY got a chance to read this scripture that my spiritual twin had giving me early in day:

THE CURE FOR ANXIETY
For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.  Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?  Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not worth much more than they? And why are you worried about clothing?  Observe how that lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.  But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you?  You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, What will we eat? Or What will we drink? Or What will we wear for clothing? For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, all these things will be added to you.  So do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will care for itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own. – Matthew 6:25
Thank you to my spiritual sister!

I hope these words from the BIG BOOK…help you as it did me.

DEAR READERS

I had the weekend off and here is what I thought about…WHEN WAS MY FIRST SCAR
Left with scars…
I use to LOVE candy.  Hersey kisses to be exact.  It was small in package but just enough to satisfy me.  Once in awhile I will eat Hersey kisses.  It never left me with guilt.  A supposedly friend of mine gave me Hersey’s white chocolate cookies and crème bar.  I didn’t want it but I ate it anyways.  My other friends use to make fun of me of only eating Hersey’s kisses and always wanted me to have something bigger.   But when I had the Hersey’s white chocolate cookies and crème bar, it wasn’t satisfying because it was too much.  Well I already had it and it was my first time trying it.  It wasn’t that great because it was forced.   But hey you could never take back your first time trying something.  I don’t eat candy anymore.  It left me with scars.

As I got older I went through many incidents that left me with scars but the candy incident was my first scar. My REAL friends always had me to vent their issues to and I vent mine to them.  As time went by, some incidents left me with TOO deep of scars.

Eventually not only did they hear my issues but the people who follow the blog entries and my dance works heard as well.

My blog entries are a reflection of my personal life and my dance works are my professional side.  Both are ONE in the same, the makings of me.
I was left with scars but life will bring me more scars.  And I am excited because thanks to God, he has giving me a vehicle to release the hurt I get from the scars…..
WHO AM I?

 UNKNOWN
 ONE BLOOD
RETURN TO SENDER
STILL I RISE

DEAR READERS

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!  I must say for the longest time this day has not been my favorite.  For on this day, nothing of LOVE never happened for me.  This year, I do celebrate Valentine's Day and I feel so much love happening for me.  Its mid-morning right now and I opened my Bible to read.  Still trying to finish reading Luke.  The scripture that spoke to me was: It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come-Luke 17:1.  I related this Scripture to my entire life.  First I will discuss how this relates to my company, MufukaWorks Dance Company. 

The company will be opened for a year in March and it has been a struggle.  Right Now! It is finally getting recognition that it deserves.  We just finished our first school tour and our first major production, AWOL's Situations: Shakespeare's Sonnets The trials and tribulations of the Youth.  

Of course with success, it comes stumbling blocks.  These blocks come from negative energy surrounding the company and stress pulling down.  so what to do?  I stop for a moment and go to my knees and pray just like I did when I had a vision for the company.  He answered me through this Scripture.  I smiled and I remember the LOVE that's around the company.   Suddenly the negative energy slips away.  I am human and I stumble in my personal life and these words from the play Situations struck within me, "Be the change you to see." With the grace of God, I am still standing and he was wrapped me with all his LOVE.  I give that LOVE back to you. 

CHECK OUT:
1)  Scripture Luke 17:1
2) Stay focus on positive energy
3) Give LOVE
4)Receive LOVE
