Being joyfully driven by God everyday means so much to me. Thus, I am inspired by the truth, “Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.” Such scriptural verse from Philippians 4:4 was asserted by the Apostle Paul when he was in jail. I admit that in my human frailty, I say that it is definitely difficult, as it is actually hypocritical to be joyful in the midst of trials, tribulations, torture, torments and terror. However, with the Almighty Who enables and empowers, I must have faith that my desire, as well as my decision, and determination to be glad, cheerful, and happy is verily possible despite sorrows, sadness, or sufferings. Today, with thanksgiving in my heart, I am persevering that in whatsoever state I am, by the grace of my Saviour, I still “rejoice evermore.”* With that mindset and spiritual pursuit, my commitment to reach-out as the handmaid of Christ, my Saviour is blessed with triumphant bliss.
happiness delight
God's gift for blest enjoyment~
toward sharing bliss

Key Verse – Leviticus 25:38 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY PROMISED LAND GIVER
Lord God, You are my promised land Giver

Perfecting me inside Your increasing fruitful divine
Possessing me to belong to Your family line.

Proclaiming to me Your pardon of liberty, victoriously peaceful
Performing in me Your statutes’ ways, preciously purposeful.

Pressing me to possess prayer-claims by faith’s action-settlement
Preaching to me Your infallible life-changing truth-document.

Mind and heart get wedded; physiques get attracted;
Love, bond, and affection hold hands in one accord;
Infatuation and romance are compacted,
Intimacy, passion, and commitment concord...!
Building bridges of fidelity they proceed,
Bathing in streams of fondness and admiration,
Positive perspectives and forgiveness accede,
In physical psychic charm, they find elation...!
Wedding bells, for lives of merged minds, peal endlessly,
Moments spent together become celebrations:
Physical touch and gentle kiss go zealously,
In mutual help and keep there's no negation...!
Marriage, when heart and soul are one, is paradise,
Though it seeks from each, a bit of self-sacrifice...!!!
From out of the shadows into the light
Distance brought closer
The name that only one gets in honor
Houndman Cometh
How did I arrive at that name you ask?
It came directly from the Greyhound Bus Organization
It was the bus company’s creation
My involvement in the Greyhound ways than to now
The thought back oh wow
My Greyhound bus arrival with flair
The commitment with care
No joke
Devotion of Greyhound in positive words I spoke
Houndman being the honor
Cometh in continuing arriving
The love for the Grayhound Trademark Dog
The stretch and reach being no bones about it
Houndman Cometh has become part of me
It shines for all the world to see
Houndman Cometh now and beyond
Greyhound will always have me to look upon
Houndman Cometh more than just a name
I am the Greyhound bus bull’s eye that will always remain.
Sitting on a Greyhound awaiting to depart
Memphis being the start
My Greyhound bus ticket has no specific destination with only “Anywhere Bound”
The feeling is where to find the possibilities in where to settle
Journey into a new life
No fiddle faddle
Reclining in my seat, and just imagine my life through the off ramp in discovering my destiny
Miles upon miles will give me plenty time thinking while
Observing the various trucks, cars and other bus coaches as I view through the bus picture windows
Destinations in so many directions, North, South, East and West
Remembering an old slogan, “GO WEST YOUNG MAN”
There’s much to chose, but don’t dwell on confused
As the Greyhound bus wheels roll while kicking up dust and acceleration
My journey is the turning point in what is to come
Goals centered in my head in how to follow through
Destiny in control
Perhaps a town or major city being my objective
I am very subjective
Sense of commitment
Courage to move on
Through the days and nights
What settlement is in sight
Greyhound bus, show me the way
My journey in the horizon
People and places
Any place for me to be
Just relax and wait and see
Mysteries of my journey to anticipate
A place I can call home and appreciate
Greyhound bus stops here and there
A journey I experience that I can only share
Memphis was my start
I might be San Antonio where I might disembark
Texas wind and a Horse ride
Adventure that is what the state will provide
Fulfillment I see in my face
Achievement to follow
San Antonio is the place
Just for me
A place to see
Dwell and acquaint
San Antonio is my take away
New life and friendship
I have arrived
Destiny control
That Greyhound bus helped me to be bold
Behold
As I reminisce the story
Of our love’s one decade glory
I remember the beautiful things
That you and our family brings
It was your courtship and friendship
That paved a beautiful relationship
A special bond that blossomed into love
The kind of love destined by the Lord Above
You have given a new meaning in my life
When I fully accepted my role as your wife
Being married is a blissful experience
Sharing a life with you made a lot of difference
As we built our family together
My love for you has grown deeper
Our special moments through the years
Has brought me happiness and cheers
Even as we go through trials and hardship
I look forward to a stronger relationship
Even distance cannot erase
My love for you that I embrace
I made a commitment from the start
That you will always be in my heart
A promise that I intend to hold onto
For all of my life I will love only you
Turning the other cheek
It’s not a passageway to peace
And we shouldn’t be enablers
The slap is an indictment and will be judged by The Savior
When you offer your other cheek
You are indicting the striker’s mean streak
Science means knowledge
That’s why we attend college
Science is a tool
To be used against the fool
Evolution is pollution, it’s dilution of the mind
Evolutionists have faith, because they foray
They foray in a way of defense, not on the fence
Their commitment is their relying and denying
The Christian worldview
The foundation of atheist intent is their bewilderment
No vacation from that elusive foundation
Will ever get a naturalist to account for an abstract entity
Evolution has no objective facts
It’s an emotional axe to grind
The grist (when they’re pissed) and can’t find
The mill into which the intellectual swill is confined
The way Evolution is construed is to be booed
Borrowing God’s mud and sun
In the futility of Thales’ son
We go from dust to The Son
Because He is the only One
Part 2
Now we are not fideists
We are not self-refuting elitists
Our reason rests on our faith
(It doesn’t go so far and faith takes over
This is a belief in a three-leaf clover)
Why? Because of The One Who has inspired
(Of the nations is desired)
Our presuppositions are dependent on
The reasoning of God the Son
The beginning of knowledge is faith in the Lord
And these two are of one accord
Because a two-fold cord can’t so easily be broken
Because It is the Very Word of God that is spoken
And many will look at us like we are from outer space
(IN a sense) this message is from outer space
And our retirement plan is out of this world
This is God’s plan for the grasshoppers in a circle
Resolution:
Where in the primordial process
Do we get intellectual access?
How did anything gradually evolve?
Something evolutionists can’t solve
When we all need life’s necessary things
As soon as the bell rings
In the crucible of love, we're tested and tried,
Our hearts beaten, bruised, and scarred inside,
The flames of passion, fierce and wild and free,
Can burn away the facade, revealing what we truly be.
Like silver purified, our love's refined,
Through trials and tribulations, it's defined,
The cutter's edge, though sharp as pain,
Shapes us, molds us, for love's sweet gain.
Tears fall like rain, our hearts laid bare,
Yet in the darkness, love's spark is there,
A light that flickers, but never fades,
Guiding us through life's turbulent shades.
The road to true love's long and winding way,
Paved with heartbreaks, pain, and dismay,
But every step, every fall, every rise,
Brings us closer to love's sweet surprise.
For love's not just a feeling, but a choice,
A commitment to stand through every voice,
To weather every storm, to brave the night,
And hold on tight, till morning's first light.
So let the refiner's fire burn bright,
Let love's crucible test our might,
For in the fire, we're purified and made new,
And in the pain, our love shines through.
Through every trial, every test of time,
Our love's refined, like gold that's truly mine,
And when the fire's died, and the pain's subsided,
We'll find that true love's worth the price we've paid.
Expectation is where the truth will be found.
Are you prepared to die at your post so that the boss can make his extra pound?
Degrees of intelligence are found all around. Commitment, pride and loyalty in one person is rarely sound.
Balancing your professional with life emotional where the business line is ‘it’s not personal’ is laying on a bed of nails and receiving additional load to hold!
Never will you be free of the whims of the management! Do as I say… is the greatest get-out excuse ever made!
Be prepared to work extra to prove yourself. Be prepared to monitor WhatsApp on your anniversary date. Be prepared to fit within your ‘new family’ not just be a mate!
Learn to laugh when it’s expected of you. Learn to dance to their song no matter how out of tune. Learn to lie to your loved ones because it’s demanded of you.
Be prepared to give 100% all the time.
When it’s hard to achieve you better give 99!
The clique will demand respect before the door’s open to you.
Try to keep a separate bit of your soul because they’ll happily take it from you.
July 24 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Ecclesiastes 1-4
Key Verse – Ecclesiastes 1:13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
HEART THAT SEEKS AND SEARCHES GOD BY HIS WISDOM
Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of righteous holiness
While thanking Him for pardoning our confessed sinfulness…
When we struggle in our hard-headedness
He upholds us through His sanctification’s fruitfulness.
Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of gracious bounty
While praising Him for meeting our oppressive scarcity…
When we complain in our discontentment-filled vanity
He builds us up by His satisfaction’s entirety.
Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of secured assurance
While trusting Him for the healing of our afflicted appearance…
When we hide in our distressed endurance
He restores us by His love’s deliverance.
Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of prudent direction
While relying in Him for the molding of our acknowledged imperfection…
When we react in our humanistic disposition
He teaches us by His Word’s instruction.
Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of compassionate fervency
While depending in Him for the strengthening of our tired persistency…
When we waver in our selfish complacency
He reaches out to us by His kindness’ mercy.
Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of truthful settlement
While exalting Him for anchoring our prayed-for fulfillment…
When we falter in our vowed commitment
He guides us by His leadership’s engagement.
Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of heavenly territory
While saluting Him for partnering in our ministry’s victory…
When we faint in our weariness-misery
He assists us by His might’s glory.
