Another Sabbath Day...Moo-Cows N' All

So I've come to the end of a week and into another sabbath day.....I'm soooo thankful. The thing is it happend so fast. i thought today was thursday. iHad no idea that it was Friday. That in itself is a testament of how good the Lord is. iWent riding today to work out and iPromise u iSaw a donkey. a real live donkey. and I'm like, "man iAm definitely in the country." but it's not that bad now. Of course iCant wait to be back home in Detroit. iMight even kiss the dirty city ground when iGet there. But iRealized that my happiness is not predicated on the location of my being, but on the location of my heart. Ultimately my heart is with the Lord. And that's why iCan ride along a country road and look at donkeys and cows and still be perfectly content with my music in my ear. Believe me, the closest iHave ever been to a donkey was Shrek before today. But still I'm always the most at peace when I'm riding my bike, or playing my guitar. It's like time could pass and iWould be none the wiser. Alot of people might not understand my sabbath and why iDo the things iDo but iKnow one thing, this is a day when iCan sit back and relax. Hang at the crib with my church friends, eat, eat, and eat, SLEEP (which iDont do alot of during the school year being that i'm a Renaissance student), go to church, hear beautiful words and music, OH AND TO ALL MY FELLOW FRIENDS WHO iKNOW ARE LIKE ME.....UR PARENTS DONT MAKE U DO CHORES OR HOMEWORK!!!!! o yea. the sabbath is about rest baby. rest and communing with the Lord. iGet to lay up under my mawwwmee, (despite how any times she tries to push me away), and ijust get to be me. Yea, iMiss out on a couple of TV shows...solution: DVR or TIVO....yea iMissed out on a couple Homecomings and parties...solution: alot of em sucked and I've been to my share anyway. iStill get to go to homecoming senior year (when it really matters) cause its on a saturday, and iStill got prom. iLove my lifestyle.....yea sometimes iBuck it....I'm not perfect, nobody on this earths surface is but at the end of the day iKnow what and who I'm living for. And when iGet swayed and discouraged or down I'll just think about that donkey on the country road or those "moo-cows" as Shida would call them, and I'll rememeber how lucky iAm......scratch that.....BLESSED.

Dont Have A Cow

so, i'm on the road to Alabama and i see cows. moo cows. i'm sleepy but iCant go to sleep because iHave to keep him up and iAlso have to drive in a min.....the car is PACKED my guitar is in the rearview mirror and we look like a traveling band of musicians. what a band that would be. a teenage black girl, a crippled old lady with a wig, and a 5'5 daddy that like fusion jazz. what would we play? my guitar and the spoons. lol. and when i say the car is packed. i mean it. thank God i'm in the front seat....but dude....i'm sitting next to a plant....a plant. i'm filled up on caffine but i dont feel a buzz. it doesnt feel like its helping but i have a theory that if i hadnt've had that aramel crunch swirl loaded with 10,765,456,456,987,456 grams of sugar and 10 shots of espresso, i'd be drooling down the leather seats by now. and what the hell is up with sad ass ohio. there is absolutely nothing in this place. i'ts no better than hoe ass alabama i cant wait till we drive through tenessee cause there is nothing to do here but make babies and go to work. i'm the kind of person that likes to hear a siren every now and then....now dont get me wrong, a frog or two aint bad but, not 24/7. i think the best thing would be if i could live in a secluded place but be able to drive into the city when i wanted to like in less than a half an hour.... i dont know but i know iwant a glass house...literally. but uh...i'm about to take the wheel now so......i guess this is to be continued....7 hours to go.

Love????? Maybe Not

( iKnow itz Long but if u claim to be in love or if somebody claims to love u, u need to read THEE WHOLE THING)

Love. So many people use ur name in Vain. To use something in vain: to misuse, abuse, misinterpret, misunderstand, or just plain old disrespect.Musiq couldnt have said it better. iHave been thinking, looking at other peoples situations, situations I've been in personally, and even am currently in....and I've noticed one thing. everybody is in "Love". everybody wants to love. but it's my opinion that people dont know what love really is. Love can be so many things. some love is genetic. instilled in us from birth. like the love a child feels for its mother or father or family, etc. but other love, like the love between a man or woman, girl or boy is different. Love is often mistaken for infatuation. they think because they love to be near you or because they love to look at you, touch you, etc. that they love you. butterflies dont equal love either. the best way i can describe real love is the absence of self....let me repeat that. the ABSENCE of self. when u really love somebody, u see nobody else. u could be in a room full of people and see only one person. when u really love somebody u protect them, which also means that u protect thier feelings meaning that u dont do anything that could potentially hurt them. u find urself thinking of them before u even think of urself. real love can withstand and conquer all. see the thing about love is that it "knows no bounds" there is no beginning and there is no end. there is no getting sick of love or trading it in for a better model. there is no second guessing in love. it just IS. no questions about it. to love somebody is not to accept them and all their flaws. thats called tolerating. Loving somebody is knowing that they have flaws but embracing and loving those too. not just accepting them. in love even if ur mad at them or they piss u off, u still find urself going grocery shopping and picking up the food item that u dont like but u get it anyway and cook it for them just because they like it. all the while ur still pissed. because see what people tend to forget is that love loves no matter what. love also does not look for satisfaction or fullfillment in anything else because well, the point is that in love, that person is all u need. "where thou desire thou does not love, and where thou love thou does desire." --anonymous in love they dont have to always be around for u to still feel them. "It is not the presence or absence of people that makes the difference because a person need not be lonely even if he is alone. Sometimes it is good to be alone. But that does not make us lonely. It is not a matter of being present WITH someone. It is a matter of being present TO someone."

Love is an unrehearsed, magnetic, unprecedented, and unexplainable emotion. alot of the time in love u lose. becuase love is also sacrifice. LOVE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN 4 LOWLY LETTERS. if u love me i dont need ur words. show me. just because you say it doesnt make it gospel. love is what u do. what u show. in love u should be able to look in ur partners eyes and see urself....see forever....know them like u know urself. but i think the most important thing is this: Love IS GOD. Love is spiritual. (and this is my opinion) but i think if u love somebody u should be able to pray with them.....u know ur relationship is good if it involves religion. nothing can survive without the Lord which is why I'm gonna close here with this. THIS SuMS UP THE WHOLE NOTE:

::1Corinthians 13:: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

so.......are u in Love?
