Proverbs Seven and God’s Grace

My day has been spent completely and enjoyably tied up with family and eating, lots of eating! So I now present for your reading enjoyment a piece that I wrote a while back. Its theme becomes clear the more you read through and though this isn’t exactly Christmas material I do think for many Christian single men this is in fact everyday material. Please feel free to comment.

If you had ever taken the time to stop me and ask

The time was now but if you’d asked me I’d laugh

When it was you plus me plus us it was a joke not math and

I’ve subtracted you out of my life and there’s no remainder, When you remain I’m in danger, danger to remain, its better that you’re a stranger. Stranger than fiction, I can’t make this up. I make my fiction strange, estranged from you but you had me locked up!

…..from the minute you walked up.

 

[Deep Breath]This is my poem of a story of a life of letters on a page from my mind, out my mouth to your ears. [Exhale and Breathe Deep]

[Speak to Your Self] Stop. Slow Down.

 

I CAN’T! I’m in love with my own words and the Lord gave me a mouth to proclaim messages like my sidekick to your heart, from start to finish here’s the story of my life.

My life, my life, my life, in the sunshine. Everybody loves the sunshine

And my sunshine is the son shine. I reflect like a broken mirror put back together, forever I reflect the son, but when I was with you the Lord wasn’t looking at me, so the shine that shun was just residue left over, and now I’m going through spiritual atrophy.

Please God don’t be mad at me, I’m like the demi-godz and only know apathy.

I’m Addicted to these chics who take me away from what I had to be. It’s sad to see but I’m glad to be free from such afflictions and affections which has the effects of drug prescriptions, diseases, addictions, all misconceptions of love.

And I get my high on your low because this game is soooo fun just to flirt, just to go slow. Let’s just talk and pretend to be friends, but we both know what we want, it’s just fun to pretend. Damn, I stepped over the edge, its no longer a game, no longer the same, things just got so serious, I just walked into the flame, got burnt and now I’m changed, chained to emotions and physically chained to your frame. Girl your frame is so insanely fine. And I wish you could be so insanely mine. I look you down in insidious ways, and I replay your/my/our frames together in my mind. I don’t mind your flirtatious demeanor, in fact it’s good for my pride and feeds my self esteem, I mean, your sexy but don’t let me forget my purpose is directly influenced by higher powers, and you just seem to be an influence contrary to nature. I do what I don’t want to do, and I oh so want you…but I don’t.

Like a duel, double barreled shot gun loaded with two different desires, and it’s pointed at my head and whichever bullet hits my temple first I become its victim, its slave.

I thank God His bullet is more effectual than yours cus His divine rape of my soul is the most gracious thing happening to me, and I only want to worship at your temple because you look fine. God’s made me His temple, so my friend, I must decline – resist your presence. I’m in love with I AM and stuck in a relationship of spiritual transcendence.

My life, my life, my life, my life in the Son shine. I’m so in love with that Son shine!

Father, protect me from the woman of Proverbs 7. Amen.

About Me, the Author.

I am a 25 year old D.M.V. resident committed to a life of freedom only found in submission to Him. That is, I live in the D.C./Maryland/Virginia metropolitan area and I am first and foremost a Christian committed to a life of humble yet bold servitude in and through and to Jesus Christ.
I am currently enrolled at Capital Bible Seminary working towards a masters degree in Divinity as well as theology and hope to serve my Lord as well as His church to the best of my ability through His grace. I also serve at and love dearly Trinity Community Church in Bowie, MD. http://www.trinitycc.org
I’ve been blessed to have lived in every continent except Australia and Antarctica and so have seen a large portion of Gods beautiful creation both geographically and culturally, but I now live in and wonderfully enjoy the culture of the D.C. area.
These two realms, the grace of God through salvation in Christ and the beauty of Gods ingenious creation through a cities own unique culture and society, have been merged together in my mind to create SoulahGratia. It is a poetic play on the latin phrase Sola Gratia which the Protestant Reformers championed as a call to recognize that salvation, in fact all of life is of grace, come from God alone. The Soul of the Washington D.C. and its surrounding playgrounds merged with the Grace of God in all of life through Christs work on the cross has birthed this blog SoulahGratia.
As my life as well as this blog grows, hopefully I can add to and increase the depth of this autobiographical section. Untill then, enjoy the bloggage!

Brand New Site, Brand New Blog!

I must admit, I am somewhat apprehensive about starting this blog. For starters I don’t want this to be a project that I start and then let fizzle away in a couple months. I want to set a pretense of continually blogging on here almost every day, make it a part of my regular routine, be able to write on here with such diligence that if I miss a day I feel incomplete. Why? Well, I do write everyday, just not publically, and I write for reasons that I believe to be true, that is, I write devotionally what it is I have been meditating on all day. I put it on paper as a sort of ministering to my own soul. I write prayers alot, I write Poetry often, I write thoughts and discoveries, and I write what I have learned throughout the day. I want to now post these personal writings of mine for others to see. I’ve been greatly impressed and encouraged by others that have undertaken this same train of thought and have successfully created a blog and their writings have ministered to me greatly in my daily walk. I would hope that I may be able to do the same.

With that being said, and the knowledge that I do not want this project to die away, your comments and suggestions and feedback would be greatly apreciated as encouragement for me to keep writing. If my posts suck than I know I will not get readers, which will in turn give me reason to stop posting here on SoulahGratia. So tell me! If you like what you read, please say so. If you didn’t like what you read, say so. It is for others to read why I have begun this endeavor and as a new born baby to this I greatly desire attention and feedback. (=

What will be posted here? See the About Me section for a description of what I see this blog centering around, but it will come in the form of personal prayers, deep diatribes, clever conversations, and alliterations galore! (Actually, probably not alliteration.) I will post here what I have been posting in private journal form for years. So the more I write the more you will be able to see and understand. Lets begin!
