HELLLOOOO!!!



As I am trying to pack three and a half years of my life away into one suitcase.  One worship song that I can't get off my mind is 'More than Anything'. I mean, all day - prancing around, humming, making remixes. I am literally trying to fit things that I haven't used since I came to the UK. As the words resonate within my spirit and I'm deciding upon the things that I want to take with me back home, the Lord reaches me and says, 'Would you really?' My response, 'Huh??'  #spiritcheck I know that I need to let go off 90% of these things I am trying to take with me. I am not only talking about physical things that fit into this suitcase. All the things that keep away from spending time with God, seeds of hatred, animosity, envy, jealousy, bitterness, aggression, worry, selfishness and procrastination I can't take them with me.

Declutter your life and your mind. I am at a point that where anything I do in my life I treat it as if Jesus were physically by my side day in and out. I would not want Him to be upset with anything that I do. By the way I dress, speak, the conversations I engage in, the places I go for to have a good time, how I complete tasks I set out to complete - EVERYTHING I do, I want it to be pleasing to Him. But, unconsciously, I find myself thinking about things that would not be pleasing to Him. I reflect on my life like it is this suitcase. Lets say I get this suitcase within the 50 pound limitation required for flight check in. Yes, it may get checked in by the check in assistants in the front but what happens when border protection checks my suitcase and I have illegal substances or objects not permitted on the flight packed neatly away? In the same way, I can dress modestly and sing empty praises all night and look God in church and to other believers but when it's time for Jesus to check me?

God bless you. 

Psalm 51 (KJV)

1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned , and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest , and be clear when thou judgest . 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice . 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise . 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

 

Just to see you!

For Your Glory, Lord, I will do anything.....

First final Exam is one day away, and as I get overwhelmed with the work load and calculations and information I don't know I am reminded of how much I do know. This song blesses me so much, it is reassurance of what I want in my life. Yes, I want to get my degree successfully, but I won't lose my faith on the journey there, in fact, it has encouraged my faith. My priorities are Jesus and then everything else. Don't be so consumed in this world you forget about the God you serve. He is with you always and if you allow Him he will lead.


Praise Him.

SLACKER ALERT!!

WANTED 

*PLEASE EXCUSE EXCITEMENT IN ABOVE PICTURE.
lol. I was waiting to watch the Ah-may-zing Spiderman 2. It had huge content which I felt could have all been expanded on and possibly put into 3 more movies but maybe I am just that in love with spiderman movies. 

I am not going to bombard this page with excuses for my negligence towards this blog. Instead, I apologise. Final year has been rough, uni work and job hunting is the pits. I actually really do feel like bird hunter but only instead of hunting birds feels like I have managed to find myself in the ocean, hunting fishes that look like eagles. FAIL. I am sure that reference was a fail too, which quite frankly seems to explain my job search.
To the point....
So, I have given myself a schedule. One post every week?? I will do my best.

To be quite honest this is typical of me, I am writing this post when I should be at the gym and then on my way to writing and actual assignment but rules are meant to be broken....... blank gaze.

Yeah though, a post a week. Starting next week. I kid. Well, not really. Oh, we'll see.


In the meantime remember,

So be careful little ears what you hear. Feed your soul the right nutrients. 

Peace out!

Inspiration**

So, today I went to church, Internet church, but nevertheless I was there. My spirit was present and humbled and opened to receiving God's anointing. The message was focused entirely on 'The fight with frustration' and was delivered by the sensational Bishop T.D. Jakes.

It was based on Numbers 20: 7-13. It talks about Moses letting his frustration out upon the rebels and disobeying the Lord's command to air his frustrations out to God. Moses was fed up with the attitudes of the people and, quite frankly, not happy because they were still receiving blessings. He thought they were just going freely without a punishment or scolding for their behaviour and so, he had to let them know.

A lot of times we act out like Moses. We are so caught up on making people 'pay' for what they have done to us or understand how we feel, we forget that God is listening and wants to free us from our frustrations. We lean on man for comfort and understanding when only God alone can bring us these things we seek. If we only remember him.


Note-worthy Quotes

• The baby comes out of the woman quicker than the woman comes out of the baby.

• It's easy to judge people for what they do when you don't understand what they have been thru or their pain.

• If someone you love frustrates you, do not take your frustrations to them but to God and God alone and God will take care of it. 

• REMEMBER, You don't get frustrated or feel things for what you don't have an investment in. Investments create expectations. Expectations create disappointment. Disappointment leads to frustrations. 

• It doesn't feel like God is on your side when God blesses someone who has wronged you or whom you don't like. But when God blesses someone else that doesn't concern you. You are not free from sin. So get a mirror and look t yourself. If you can live, then so can I. 

• Some of the greatest test come from winning. When you are losing you do not need to be examined. The test is what you do with power.

• Watch how the people around you treat people they don't need because if you ever got down and below them, that is exactly how they would treat you. 

Have a blessed week!! 

Welcome!

My name is Geena Thompson 

*on my lips #Heaux RiRiHeartsMAC* 

In this life, we tend to hide behind society's expectations of who we should be. I know this first hand. So, I have decided to start blogging for real, for real, this time. I think it would be nice to log my experiences and life as it happens, my way. Over the past year or so, I've grown so much into myself it's amazing to me and I didn't realise until I went thru old pictures and facebook statuses. So here we are, me writing, photographing and just sharing my life. Hopefully it inspires and challenges a few to go out and be YOU!
