“ Prayer, if you wrestle with yourself, is not prayer. It’s just self reflection or self pity. Prayer is, ‘You gotta wrestle with God’. You have to wrestle. And you know what has to happen? You have to lose. The more you learn to lose to God, the more you learn to be powerful. ”
Yes.

“ Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They enjoy deep discussions. ”

integrity. integrity is the ‘wholeness of a person’. wholeness as in being one in the way a person thinks, acts, and speaks. (PB, encounter sermon). for some time now, i’ve been feeling a vast disparity between my thoughts and my words. my thoughts are often suppressed by something that corrals them in my mind and filters my words before i can even let them out. the loss of internal control. from a young age, i understood the the power of my words, yet i’ve severely used and abused that power for my own advantage and it’s been a disarray ever since.
in this new dispensation, which, might i add is completely changing my life around, i am becoming more whole. there are no more discrepancies between my thoughts and my words. god has refined the flow of my mind and is helping me reclaim my gifts of creativity, sensibility, leadership and wisdom. i’ve always known my possessions as a child, yet i’ve unconsciously buried them all up in the ground in my fear of misusing them again. utter foolishness. it’s about time i have some integrity. no more suger fluffin, no more pity parties, no more being all smiles, or feeling inadequate to say what i want…imma say it how it is!! i refuse to live one more day holding anything back…i declare that my thoughts are free.
