Savory chocolate

"The soul of my truth, the heritage of my roots, the reason why I wanted to get that booth. Others noticed me but I bought the drinks, didn't want to be submerged in the ties, I won't cajole you with lies...you're my favorite flavor, you're the chocolate I savor but I'm reaching out when I'm supposed to be reaching within...blessed with favor.."

I can't be sure where your truth lies
Or if false reason and reality are bound with ties

My lens has a clear filter for discrimination
So, I was never in danger of any false persuasion 

And the truth of my roots lie deep in a tropical tree
Concealed in its pod ripening in blissful harmony 

I am not the essence, but cocoa in its organic state
Harvested with compassion and fulfilling the mandate

Nourishing the soul and stimulating the mind
Shattering the mold after I was designed

Not labels, no Coco Chanel, but cocoa butter that can heal

Intimate feelings of raw cocoa with sensual whip appeal

I am the superior chocolate that you savor

My thick richness will change your behavior 

Smooth, delectable, desirable and fine
I am the chocolatiers perfect design 

The complement to champagne or weekend libations
I am the calming fix to all your frustrations

You can drink my goodness, it does a body good
A swirl of my freshness refreshes for the misunderstood

Perhaps you can align with my cocoa pleasures
Maybe I can grant you access to my chocolate treasures

I am your strongest desire and perfect flavor
The best chocolate that you will always favor

God is testing me. He's testing my faith, my patience, my leadership abilities, my talents, he's testing my wisdom and ability to walk in his Word. I'm a little nervous, but I'm ready. No more lying dormant or riding back seat. It's time to pull away from all things that are not propelling me forward. It's time to straighten out finances and pay back my debts. It's time to get away from the world into my secret closet, into the garden to walk with my Jesus. It's time because God has called me for a purpose driven life. He's closed doors that I didn't have the strength to leave. He has opened doors that I didn't have the courage to knock on. I'm ready. I'm willing. Here I am Lord!

Writing Tena-ciously

"I pour out my heart with a pen, I write out to tell within. I share my soul for likes now and again, the narcissism carried deep within. Can I be the author I claim or with a head tucked low clinging to shame, wondering why no one knows my pain...my God within is responsible for the victory that will be claimed. I've been writing all my life, New York Bestseller is my next biggest..."

New York Bestseller is my next biggest win
Because I'm going to pour out my heart with this pen
Yes, I will tell you everything within
Every shame, every hurt, every scar and past sin

You can know the pain pressing my heart like a ton
But undergird yourself before I say it and it's done
This story is fierce like the winds of Euroclydon
Scorching and harmful as the gases of the sun

But all hail conversion, our great savior of the day
Even the gases of the sun are useful millions of miles away
And blustery winds against the sails to a captain is okay
You see, energy is never created or destroyed, it converts when we pray

So, I'll let this ink bleed from the words of my heart
You can have the entire story all the way from the start
From project ghettos to stilettos a world apart
From generational curses to futuristic verses and art

I am the author that I honorably claim
The author who bears it all with no shame
I am the author critically acclaimed
Because I have victory in Jesus' name
Amen!
