Poet's Corner A tranquil moment occurred! A Selah if you may. I was thinking to myself on how and why did love come knocking and I was so fortunate to be present and bold enough to answer. It took me a minute to realize what package LOVE is and I have to be transparent, I was pleasantly surprised that it knew my name, understood my issues, didn't consider my flaws nor try to trophy them for selfish causes. No, it knew me, embraced me, cherish the dimples me, crazy me, all of Me. Love came delicately with its feminine aroma of FlowerBomb the expensive perfume to tantalize my senses.

With grace and poised, she embodied the love of God and took my heart and nestled it in the bosom of her arms, and bathed it ever so softly in the tears of compassion.

I am loved by a great woman!

Poet's Corner

Their Lover's Qual didn't end well, no happy ending, kiss and make up sex NOOOOO just angry words released in the cool of the air the parting of hurting, bleeding hearts misunderstood by the war of words exchanged by the denial of what's true, alienated to the cause of self-justification "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks" Captioned and said best from the Good Ole Book (Bible for your northerners) he spoke..she spoke She spoke... he spoke Yet no one listened No one took time to gently rest their heads in each other's laps No one had empathy No one stood in patience Not one of them remembered that Love wins all and love is the epitome of a genuine harmonious relationship!

They didn't remember they need to remember...what's important

The "Do-Over"

he Words of disdain both escaped their lips as they were drenched in a cold sweat from the climactic argument that ensued. The Couples decided to go to their own separate rooms, whispering their final words “I want a divorce” this was Jazmine and Alex’s typical evening that has been going on for several months if not years. You see they were many issues that have been layering over time, issues that never were addressed, and when they did talk, no one listen to understand but only listened to react.

In my many marriages that is the underlying issue, is listening to react, where couples only focus on trigger words, so that they can continue to build a case to win a verdict. This is called “Courtroom Marriage” Where the Lawyer, Judge, and Jury is each other, both trying to win a case, drive their points home, and guilt-shame each other in a posture more suitable for them to wave their trophy and say those famous words by the opposing opponent “I told you so...”

Page 5

Jazmine and Alex have been married going on 10 years, the courtroom marriage has been a diary of notable entries by both parties only going into the dairies to bring up the evidentiary evidence held against each other so that they can win. “Clap Back” at its finest and each entry must be time-stamped with voice recordings and pictures supporting the infractions or crimes the spouse is culpable of doing.

Sadly, many marriages are guilty of doing such actions, we levy their offenses against them and to do so is a clear manipulation tactic at its finest. Marriage suffers from the weight of scrutiny, the inability to forgive, the lack of understanding, and the empathy needed to bathe our spouses with love, because we have a point to make…but at what cost?

Cont . The "Do-Over" If you rather lose a mate over something that should be mutually processed out, that is a major issue and an issue of the matter of the Heart. Why is your heart so fixed on proving a point, why is one so focused on getting their point across dismissing the ability to “agree to disagree” or just working towards the bigger picture?

Jazmine and Alex took some time in their separate rooms and begin to soul search and found out that in all mist of screaming, fussing and angry words, they were some hurt that both needed healing from and so it began with as one spouse requested to the other to take a walk outdoor together.

The request was reluctantly asked because it was anger's voice that spoke the loudest, but seeing that the issue needed to be resolved they walk. The gentle cool of the night blew the tears away, they pulled together, grabbing each other’s hands and walking in silence drinking in the night and the final pace of the walk. Alex clumsily looked for the keys in his pockets as they neared their home and gently look into Jazmine's eyes and said, “I am sorry, can you please forgive me” she whispered the same words…but this time they asked each can we have a “Do-over”.

Page 6

Cont . The "Do-Over" Often couples may plateau in their marriage, which causes them to feel numb to a degree because of hurt or distrust in that spouse. Do Over provide each other to “data dump” unnecessary issues, hurt or personal grips that were not intentional on the part. Starting over means that those issues are no longer an issue because both parties chose not to relish on something insignificant but chose to focus on what really matters and that is their LOVE for one another.

For Matured Couples Only

INTIMACY "GET NKED" Here is a wonderful idea to spice up your intimacy with your spouse and that is intimate baking in you know... ahhh...yes your birthday suit. Now the rule for this challenge is both participating members must comply as this will greatly enhance the experience between you two. Before I share the details. You must understand Intimacy is a sacred and blessed exchange between two people in the union of marriage. Intimacy is a posture needful for transparency and openness, without this many marriages are fruitless, to solidify the bond of the covenant, intimacy brings oneness and completeness to the convent both shared.

Intimacy is a form of worship as two hearts bleed into unity to embody the grace, mercy, and unconditional love of the Heavenly Father.

So the challenge is this. You must follow a recipe of your choice and if you can't find it, here is one provided on the next page over, for your reference. You will need to gather the appropriate items that your recipe calls for. You can wear an apron while you are preparing your dessert.

Featured Story

By Anthony P. Solin

I

"Love Worth Waiting For..."

like to introduce Raheem and Kimberly Turane. If there was ever a beautiful story of how two people were meticulously matched and paired for a great future, this would be them.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans that I think toward you, plans to prosper you and give you an expected end." God's plans are always pinpointed accurate and in the life of Apostle Raheem Turane who spearheads a great work of the Lord, as he is the Senior Leader of The Grow Network conducting and teaching people to maximize their potential and walk-in true fulfillment of their call and God’s destiny their lives. Apostle Turane's newly beloved wife is an entrepreneur, with a distinct businesssavvy edge to making it "rain" financially and knows the power of patience…

Their story is one that we can see pictured on the hallmark network during the holiday season. Where two doting hearts find each other through a mutual connection of friends, but this story had the divine intervention from the Heavenly Father in which he awakens the Wife of his closest friend, and it was upon that Godordained moment, the seed begins; where two hearts connected and causal small talks evolved into long intimate talks, prayers, tears cried in glorious praise. As he both knew that this one was worth waiting for and the journey or the road taken was arduous, lonely and it was meant for God to mend, heal, and restore so that they can see the blessing on the other side of the heartache they experience in their previous relationships.

Cont.

The Big question I can imagine the scenery the iridescent lights, the mood music the glow in each other’s eyes as they knew what was about to transpire and the excitement of knowing this Is it. He proposes and as if time stood still, and with anticipation, he waited for the soft answer “Yes” to solidly what heaven has ordained to be. This monumental event led to the big day in which those who were close and meant so much to the couple were able to witness the hand of God in action and see the happiness that many couples try to aim for but can’t because of the missing factor and that is “when God is in it, no devices, plans or anything contrary can sabotage the place called peace”.

I would die a thousand deaths, just to meet the right ONE God has for me...

Cont.

I must admit I wanted to cry, seeing someone who I’ve been privileged to meet over the last two years and seeing the evolution that transpired in that time. Leaves you or us to understand that God’s ways are finite, perfect and the songwriter Christ Tomlin said, “He is good good Father” So, if you are reading this, be assured that God our father can do it for them, then he has someone specially designed just for you and that person comes with no strings attached, their love is not conditional, nor are they coming unnecessary baggage or guilttripping tactics to manipulate you into losing your peace. No, it is Real genuine love, loves not merits, nor concerned of your past or easy to quit over trivial things, but a real love to whether the storms of life, “ride or die”, prayer partner, consistent lover, and good friend.

Just Trust God!
