Hey Real Quick 🤍

Hey real quick. Just wanted to ramble.

Today was another step of me getting out of my comfort zone. Today I was invited by one of my Bible Study family members to a birthday party/women’s event that she was having today. The theme was Tea Party. Never been to a Tea Party event. Didn’t know what to expect. But it went exactly how it was supposed to go. So, to rewind before I fast forward. She asked me previously when am I going to host another poetry event, she ended up missing (actually I’m tired of referring to her as she, so it’s Ms. L.) Ms. L ended up missing the event I hosted back in October of this year, & had just been asking periodically when am I having another event. I’d tell her, oh well I just need to pray about it, I just need to pray about it yadda yadda. Cool.

Ok, to now fast forward, I few weeks ago, Ms. L asked me if I could read some of my poetry at her event that she was having. She ended up inviting all of the Bible study members to the event, but wanted me to recite some poetry. She had been asking and asking and I’m like wellllll, all my poetry thus far since at least being on my Faith walk with Christ, has just been from a place of hurt and sorrow. Then she said, well that doesn’t matter, it’s still your poetry. Just share whatever it is that you’re lead to share. Ok, cool. I told her let me sit and go over some of my work & see what I can gather, (I legit have about 80+ poems that are either written or I just have titles to come back to so really had to dig)

So fast toward again to the present, it’s the day of the event. I’m at home prepping in the mirror like ok, I’m going to mention this, I’ll talk about that really quick, started practicing some of the poems I chose to recite yadda yadda. I get to the event & another member of my actual church & from Bible study Sister Sherry (I love her ☺️) I’m telling her like I’m nervous, this is making me want to throw up, I have to speak louder when I have a soft voice, you know all the things.

Now it comes time for me to recite my poetry & I’m doing very well. I spoke louder than I normally do. I felt myself talking with confidence within my poems, I always seem to feel as though my poems aren’t good enough for whatever reason. I got some good feedback from some of the women at the event. I’m thinking to myself like, I really did this in front of another audience that I’m not used to.

I say all this ramble to say, at least to myself and to you too sis. We can legit do all things through Christ. Who gives us His strength. ALL THINGS. Not just this, not just that but ALL things. WE just have to believe, trust, make the effort & have the faith that we can do ALL things. If there’s something that you’re hoping for. Keep the faith for it. If there’s something you have faith for, keep hoping for it. And along with those things, put forth the effort. Even if it’s just one thing every single day. Those small things will equal up to a big thing. The Lord tells us that we can tell the mountain to move and it has to move from here to there, even if you have the faith as small as a MUSTARD SEED. That smallest amount of faith, can make the biggest things move.

I have alot more to say. But that’s enough for this ramble.

See you on the next post sis!
