Love Found Me

RAW EMOTIONS

My meeting with destiny was raw. I looked destiny in the face and was immediately overwhelmed at what I saw. I don’t know which is worst knowing or not knowing.

I stood there speechlessly not believing what I was seeing. Utterly refusing to accept destiny’s claim on me; I made a move. I am the master of my ship. I dip when I say dip.

I fled. Destiny pursued.
I fought. I was caught.

Destiny embraced me. I wanted to cry leave me!
Destiny defied time. Defied rejections. Defied set backs.
Never mind my resistance. Destiny was/is persistent.

My acceptance was raw. Raw emotions surfaced.
The tears flowed. I wanted someone to hold.
Destiny embraced me. A small part of me fought to be free.
Then I remembered my meeting with destiny—the light.

I opened my eyes. I was surrounded by the light.
I knew then everything was going to be alright.
I am not forsaken. I am chosen for destiny and purpose.


The Certain Ones by Vanessa Richardson

It is Christmas in July, and I am feeling like a youngster receiving her many gifts on that glorious day. In my curiosity, I quickly Googled the reason of Christmas in July.

For those who like I wondered why the heck, they call it Christmas in July-- please, allow me to explain. Clearing throat and dawning on my wire framed glasses. Christmas in July, celebrate Christmas, halfway between Christmas past and Christmas future. Christmas in July is a fun event that is celebrated with holiday cheer and great enthusiasm in parts of Europe and Australia. Again if you're like me, you've learned that cheer and great enthusiasm, shouldn't be celebrated seasonal. Christmas is an every day occurrence!


So, the reason for this post? This Christmas, back by popular demand, I will be performing the stage production: God Knows My Heart! This is one of my favorites stage production to perform, and am delighted by the request to perform it again. It is early, but time has a way of sneaking up on you.
