The Garden

   poetry written by Lakeisha Lanier   
Tabernacle of Meeting


I come to kneel and pray
Rest seems so far away
I'm hated without cause
They plot my demise
Those that came with me
To be my strength are sleep
And now I ask of thee
Let this cup pass
In this moment of weakness
I find strength in release

If it be your will let this cup pass
Nevertheless not my will
But yours be done
I submit as your son
Here in the garden
I die to my feelings
Here in the garden
I submit completely
Here in the garden
Your will be done

Hence comes my betrayer
I'm greeted with the kiss of death
Seized by the Roman soldiers
The Fathers plan is in full effect
I'm led away like a sheep for the slaughter
But I already died in the garden
Not my will but thine be done
Not my will but thine be done
Here in this garden.

God is the Architect

Hello Beloveds, I know it has been a while since I have written a post, I've been on a sort of blog-hiatus. I've been spending time soul searching, reflecting, and in hope and eager expectation of rebuilding my new endeavors from the last chapter to my next one. After brainstorming, I had to prioritize my life-values goals and assess my life's purpose. Regardless of who or where you are one must prioritize discovering their purpose in life. Psalm 57:2 (AMP) says, I cry out to God Most High, who accomplishes all things on my behalf for He completes my purposes. We must trust God's divine plan and let Him be our guide knowing God is the Chief Architect and Master Builder of everything. God will take us through construction sites to shape us for His purposes. God sees the big picture. He knows the plans that He has for us, He has a specific plan for each one of us. God’s plan for our life must be consulted with the chief architect, God Himself; the designer, and

Today's Reflection-Wounds of Gossip

-
Once upon a time, an old man spread rumors that his neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested and put behind bars for no fault of his own. Days later, the poor man was proven innocent. After being released, he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.  In court, the old man told the judge, ‘ They were just random comments, they did not harm anyone.’ The judge, before passing sentence on the case, told the old man,  ‘write all the bad things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut it up into little pieces and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out of your car window. Tomorrow, you come back to hear the sentence.’   The next day, the judge told the old man,  ‘Before receiving the sentence, I want you to go out and gather up all the pieces of paper that you threw out of your car window yesterday.  The old man said,  ‘I cannot do that. The wind spread them all over the place and I will not know where to find them . "Then the judge replied,  ‘The s

Psalms 91:1-4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Always pack your umbrella. Umbrellas can provide coverage and protection from the sun, the wind, the rain and anything that fall on you. It could be a sudden shower or downpour accompanied by hail or wind, notice there are many types of umbrellas to suit your rain needs and climate.
