If I Could Inspire My Dad

If I could help him to lift his head to the sky

If I could tell him how much influence he has lying within him


Another man of champion

A lion, a man


If I could show him how he can win

If I could inspire him


Stir him to reach higher and higher

If I could show him his wings and be his wind


If I could make him believe that his seed lives on in me, deep within

If I could inspire him to change his thinking so he could embrace a better living


If I could demonstrate how his words live on,

Though I am no longer a child


If I could make him understand that I had no idea just how much I needed to protect my grown up years from my childhood experiences


He inspired me to be better, much better than he has been,

Now it’s my turn to help him be better than he has and always been


If I could inspire my dad,

I would let him know he is one of a kind, the only dad I have ever known,

The only dad I have ever had.

You Matter To Me...

You matter to me…

Every now and again it becomes so important to recognise the people we love and appreciate, people we   like being with or around, people who matter to us. So I wanted to tell you this:

You matter to me…

So I take the time to call and the time to write

You matter to me…

So I send you a text

You matter to me…

So I ask how are you doing

You matter to me…

So I come online just to say hi

You matter to me…

So for you I often pray

I don’t mean to sound selfish

But I feel so good about myself just because of you

I feel so accepted, never rejected

For these reasons and more you matter to me.

RID YOURSELF OF THESE...

The things that affect and influence us most are those things which were said to us and done to us that we never forget. They grow and become like flesh that cling to our mind, body, and heart.
We must therefore continuously rid ourselves of those things that are toxic.


In your gold quest…


- Uproot fear it causes you to unwillingly yield control

- Uproot unforgiveness you are poisoning your own body

- Uproot impatience it is very disruptive


You add strength to the things you give your attention

The more you think about it, the more you talk about it, the bigger it seems



Riding yourself of the unwanted must become a daily exercise

What are you focusing on now?

~ DTGIY

POISONED MIND

I gave you an opportunity to speak…

I took a chance to listen…

Now I am poisoned…



I took a chance and looked…

I was shocked, had to quickly close the book…

Now I am poisoned…



Who are you?

And what’s your assignment?



You who are reading this blog…

Know its true…

Perhaps it has happened to you…

You gave a part of your mind…

Through your attention or your time…

And you were poisoned too…



So in an attempt to protect your mind…

You refused to listen any further…

Your eyes looked no longer…



As for me, unless some things change...

Whenever they come around...

There will be a gate locked with chains...

As I seek to guard my mind...

As I desire to remain sane...



The sign on the gate will read, ‘Mind Closed’...

This mind is closed to trespassers...

The pathway to my soul ...

No access, it is Holy Spirit Controlled...

Stolen Understanding

I understood a matter


At least so I thought

Tried explaining it

It confused me more

Someone else attempted

They too fell short

We took the matter to the cops

As we felt robbed

A thief

A swindler

Took our understanding

The officer recorded it

Didn’t quite understand it either

Seemed his was stolen too

A stolen understanding

Leaves you weighing in the balance

Leaves you hanging

Searching never finding

The times are confusing

Each ‘why’ leads you to another

The culprit was still on the run

Two weeks later the report came

Many lost theirs too

National leaders

Teachers and doctors

Great men and women

Had their eyes darkened

Understanding stolen

~ ` ~ `~ `

Ephesians 4:18

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

A Complete Makeover

It is never easy to think or accept that the problems I face do not start with me.

It is always natural and easier to deem the world is going the wrong way and you are the only one who seems to be getting it right.

Conflicts flourish on seeds of selfishness, a judgmental spirit and an unwillingness to forgive.
As I look around me, my home, my church, my work and my community and by extension my country.

It is so easy to get up each day and point fingers at everyone else and to rationalize why the world is the way it is.

I have seen great confusion, strive, discontent and evil at the hands of people who thought they could protect themselves from bad influences.

But I have grown to realise that our unwillingness to submit moves us from the umbrella of divine protection.
If I decide not to submit to the laws of the land I am therefore removing my protection.

Believing I can do better on my own only creates more waste and regrets. We are all susceptible and must take the necessary steps to protect God’s purpose in us.

I feel at times as though I am in a scorching pot, that is about to cook me alive.
But I usually find refuge when I withdraw myself to do my regular introspections and ask the Holy Spirit to show me where I went wrong.

My lesson:

Try changing everything around you and you will die trying, think differently and you will change everything around you

So I am now at the place where I believe I am the problem but then I am also the solution. Until I accept that I am the problem then I won’t see the need to be fixed.

I won’t submit myself to God’s authority for him to break, remold and set me. Until I see the need for a complete makeover, the regretful trend may continue.

It is our decision that creates seasons, so I am creating a new season in my life by deciding to go under God’s knife, a complete makeover.

Walking Minds

If you see a stray mind anywhere near you, please send it home

My mind went walking last evening and has not returned

So I woke up today not being in my right mind

As I got to my office someone said, “Looks like you’ve lost your mind”

So I shared my ordeal

Someone over-heard the conversation and told me I could check the ‘mind-depot’ located on Trafalgar Road, Kingston

I took some time off from work and went in search of my mind

Much to my surprise when I got there, I saw all types of minds, big and small

I saw criminal minds, gay minds, priestly minds, beggar minds, whore minds, godly minds, miserable minds, confused minds, perverted minds, hallucinated minds

Then there was an interesting section with some wreckage such as, make up your mind,

‘Mind Over Matter,’ ‘Out of Sight - Out of Mind’, ‘Mind Your Own Business,’ ‘Would You Mind’, ‘Pay No Mind’, ‘Mind Games’, ‘Mind your manners’, ‘Mind your own beeswax’ and ‘Mind Your Ps and Qs’

Then there were some unused minds in a huge warehouse, there were so many of them it seems as though no one had come to claim these: I saw ‘Peace of mind’, ‘the mind of Christ’ and a whole lot more.

I have since written this blog to tell you that you too can recover your mind, some folks only purpose is to make you lose it; you must be determined to keep it and preserve it.

When your mind goes walking, make sure it returns.

Back-to-School Blessings

As I go off to school, Father, help me to learn

Give me patience and bless my teachers so they will be patient too

Many opportunities to be a blessing to the world will surround me

Help me to always grab a hold of these opportunities

Whenever things go wrong and they often will

Help me Father to be a part of the solution and not to complicate the problem

If I am tempted to jump on the "bad-mouth bandwagon" help me Lord not to

As for me and my mouth we will serve the Lord

Help me not to be a complainer but a thanks giver

Grant focus to my mind

Remind me that I am a Christian before I am a student

And we are Christians before we are teachers, so we serve you first, not ourselves

Whenever it gets rough and the money is just not enough

You have promised to always supply all my needs, so I look to you Lord

Bless my school, bless the students and staff, and keep us safe,

Let me shine like a star, leading and lighting someone’s way

It is too easy to do evil so help me Lord from evil to stay

Lord, help me to always believe and accept that ‘I was made for better’

I want to pursue excellence and do your will, bless me now, bless me today

Ipromise to be the best me that I can be

Amen

I just want you to know

I am not hungry if you can’t feed me

I am not thirsty if you can’t quench me

I am not going if you won’t send me

Father, free me, live in me

What have you done to me?

I have changed...


I am different...


I hate the new me...


You’ve changed my skin...


Fill me with anger within...


What have you done to me?


I need to escape...


I am your captive...


Release me from this bed...


I just might end up dead...

I Asked...

I asked for wealth


I knew it not

It was right there

From the start



I asked for good health

I knew it not

It made me able to see

You have been there with me



I asked for good friends

I knew it not

They were always there

Helping, showing a heart of care



I asked for a servant’s heart

I knew it not

I was sent daily needy people

To show your love was the greatest



I asked for a wise man’s mind

I knew it not

It was a special kind

I had it all this time



I asked and I asked

When I thought I had it not

I knew it not

I murmured and complained



I asked and I asked

Much to my surprise

You had already equipped me

Now I can see, you were always there

Hey! Champion

The champion in you


Let it soar like an eagle

Above and beyond the challenges

One by one, jump over each hurdle

Walk, run, fly

There is no problem greater

Than what God has deposited in you

Kill worrying, she is too distracting

There is no obstacle stronger

Than what God has given you

Your victory is coming

It may not be fast and quick, but it will come full

Patience is your friend, impatience your enemy

His laws, your road map

Your obedience, the access key

There is a champion in you

Walk, run, fly, soar

Above it all,

Cry, ask why, but don’t stop try

There is a champion in you
