I KNOW FOR SURE

There’s something about you that’s unique
I can’t tell you what it is
But for now l’ll tell you
What l know you know l know

I know for sure

You are gentle with every thought l share
You are sweet with every fall l encounter
You are intense with every moment l bear

I know you know l know

What’s in your eyes?
Can’t tell what it is
Looks like fondness, looks like infatuation
Maybe love
But l’ll tell you what l know you know l know

I know for sure
You are love in your every move towards me
You are love in your every word you whisper to me
Dear Jesus you are love in all you do for me

I know you know that l know for sure
You are love in every way
Dear Lord

THE WHOLE OF ME IS BEAUTIFUL

This is me
The whole of me
As God created me… No apologies, No regrets
The whole of me is beautiful
Is tender and treasured
Makes me curious
Makes me glad
The whole of me is beautiful
My blossoming chest
My wonderful curves
The fluctuation of my moods
My menses
Hmmm…
That’s me
No apologies, No regrets
Because
The whole of me is beautiful
I may not understand me
But the whole of me
The whole of me is beautiful

Dedicated to the struggle to get sanitary towels to our girls here in Kenya

So embedded in her

HERE'S A MARRIAGE THAT LASTS FOREVER

Now l know that there's a marriage that works forever and ever.

Have you seen preparedness meet opportunity? Nothing locks in key like this two elements when it comes to dreams.

Its when you hear people say...they have had success in a relatively short time. Short time? Ask that unknown athlete for how long he has been training? Ask him how long he has been training and waiting for that moment when the silver lining penetrates the dark clouds. Ask him? Go ahead.

I know for sure...that when preparedness meets opportunity, there's nothing anyone can do to stop it.

Preparedness is faith with hope that the dream will come to reality. Opportunity is when your faith just got tangible.

I am learning that when preparedness meets opportunity the world is not big enough to hold it neither is the dearest blue sky the limit.

Now l know there's a marriage that lasts forever... that of preparedness meeting opportunity.
