At My Side


With hopeful eyes I look at you;
Wondering if you see me through.

 All the things I've seen,
All the things I want to hide.
Do you see me with your eyes?

 I bare myself before you;
Please tell me you're there,
At my side.

 Note: Not all my poems are about romantic love. This is about One's relationship with the Lord. 

 The last year for me has been a very trying time in terms of my education as well as my spiritual journey with God. At times, I felt lost and very much alone because it was as though I was suffering in vain and no one knew. 

 It is through these moments I began to press in with prayer and vigilance that I was able to rise. We forget that our lives are filled with battles; God and the devil are constantly trying to vanquish the other. 

 Honestly, I think I'm going through one of those moments right now. But I must first trust in him and know that ultimately it is all for his glory.

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...
