My Prince



My prince. He does not ride valiantly on a white stead
With dashing looks and a chin worthy of praise.
He does not slay dragons by day and plunder his wealth by night.

 My prince.  He’s not dashing by other's standards. He is a child at heart.
He journeys this world with God and a Bible at his side,
So that in times of utmost darkness;
HIS word will be the weapon of choice.

 My prince. He is out there. So in the mean time I look up in my moments of darkness
And praise the Lord for all the good that he has done.
Note: I remember on one of our dates; the Black Knight asked me a question: 'What quality do you look in a guy?' I don't know why I said it. But my answer was simple: 'I want a man who puts God first.' Someone who believes God's hand in his life to the extent that he had to listen to God to find me. Silly, huh? But that was my answer. Looks die out and all you're left with is the personality and qualities of a person, so it is best to find someone who is beyond skin deep.

Interfaith Relationships

Image
I'm going to start off by saying that I'm definitely going to ruffle some feathers with these next few entries. But this faux pas of a subject has to be talked about. It's unavoidable with this ever changing global community we find ourselves in. So hang on tight. It's going to be rough! Interfaith relationships. What is it? Conceptually, interfaith relationship is a simple idea where two people of different religious background date/ marry one another. Love is love, right? That supersedes all else? These two questions will be the focus of my discussion (entries) as we move forward. Personal: I thought that once I decided to start dating, again, the challenge would be simple. I would find someone who was a non-practicing Christian and have to debate the relevance of God in our everyday life. Well, it wasn't. My first dating experience after a year break was with someone of Islamic Faith. Yippy, right?!?!? Y'all are probably as excited as I w...

Call it Magic Part 1: Love is...

So as I stated before, we are going to let me run with the idea of magic AKA God's love and miracles. Where better to start than with love? The Bible has many passages about love. Love is broken into four different types: Eros , Storge , Philia , and Agape . Eros : The intimate type of love aka the romantic love. The best example of this is found in the Old Testament, Song of Solomon or Song of Songs. I've read excerpt of this book here and there, it is beautifully written. I will admit that there are part where the words come alive and makes me blush. For those not familiar with this book; the passage that I like the most and is often used at weddings is Song of Solomon 2: 10-13. Which reads: "My lover spoke and said to me, 'Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and some with me. See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in out land." ...

The Journey Continues...

Image
Hello Everyone, I've been absent on the blogging for the past week, but it wasn't due to the lack of thoughts running through my mind. Actually, my mind is more on fire than ever. It had to do with not knowing where or how to proceed with each train of thought. Because I am truly at a crossroads. Do I continue my journey through the Coptic Church or run back to my Evangelist background with the knowledge I've gained within the last few months? When I began my journey in the Coptic Church I knew there would be eyes on me and judgements passed and somehow I got it into my head that they would continue to look at me like an outsider. But as someone told me recently, 'people grow.' We all grow to familiarize ourselves with our surroundings and when that moments happens the walls fall down and God enters this realm. At this point, I have been attending St. Paul for a month and have slowly become more comfortable in my surroundings. Up until today, I've com...
