Me Myself and the Mirror

Today I took the time to spend some me time staring in the mirror, free from every article of material I examined myself from head to toe. I saw something’s I could change as well as something’s I would like to keep. I stared for almost an hour allowing my eyes to travel into my soul. Then I asked myself the question…. “Do you really know who you are?” “Do you really respect the person you are?” “What you see in the mirror, is it evidence of one who considers their body a temple?” If the truth be told the answer to all three would be NO… Yes I said it, and I’m not at all ashamed of admitting the truth.  In 2011 I made no New Year Resolutions just silent promises to myself and one of the promises I made to myself is to become a better woman to myself. I could never be a better woman to anyone else before first being good to me. I had to first start with a self examination with me, my notebook, a sharpie and the mirror.  I never deny the fact that I am secure and have a clear vision of Gods plan for my life but there is so much more that comes along with the plan and the vision. The first thing that came to me was going through a cleansing, freely we intoxicate our body with all kinds of things that could cause long term problems.  From our Food intake to the things we feed our spirit.  Now my desire is to become everything that God predestined for my life but the only way I can begin to travel that journey is by recognizing things that need to be put in place before I travel that road.  So as I looked into my eyes I begin to travel the pathways of my soul, and I asked myself another question “How bad Do you want it?” I asked myself that question because as I looked through my eyes I begin to see ahead in time, I saw myself as a bestselling author, I saw  myself traveling as a motivational speaker, I saw myself as a entrepreneur, I saw myself as one of the most creative  photographers in the world. I saw myself as one of the most profound writers in history. I saw myself living Life and not just waking up to life, and after all of that I asked myself… HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT!!!! I screamed to the top of my LUNGS!!!! I want it bad like first time I desired to have God in my life, Bad Like I needed GOD to perform a miracle in my mom’s Life, BAD like I wanted GOD to heal my father’s body… BAD like I wanted deliverance to take place in my heart Bad Like I wanted God to work out that relationship I knew wasn’t good for me. BAD Like I wanted mental freedom. So I said ok If you want it that bad there’s something’s that you are going to have to cut, something’s you are going to have to free yourself from…. At 28 years old I have been through something’s and I recognize and realize as long as I live I will have some other things that I will have to tackle, but the first fight that we usually endure is the fight against ourselves because we simply don’t know who we are, we simple don’t respect who we are and we don’t guard our temple. Take time to meet with the mirror free yourself from the material articles and look at the true you and then do  self examination to find out if you are equipped to handle the plan God has for your life.
