Never would've thought that I'd come back to this masterpiece in 2023 to seek comfort for what I'm currently going through....like the watchman waits for morning, Lord I will wait for you😊
It's 2022 and I still watch this... ALSO, I have FOUND HIM!! He definitely was worth waiting for. Its true, "you're not asking for too much, you're just asking the wrong person"
Same. Even his family was worth the wait. What a soft & beautiful love. I'm so glad you found him too. Nothing thrills me more than a black woman being LOVED loved😍🥰
I recited this poem my freshman year in college for a class. Now, 27 single with a full ministry. This poem really helps me remember that i'll always wait for Gods Best and to be okay if it is just Me and God 💕 I will wait for You!
God is truth and he is eternal, and peace and all loveing look to Jesus Christ he alone can save your soul John 3 16 then revaluation allso and read Matthew 24 all of it and then read Daniel allso and read the whole truth the word of God Amen
I first came across this poem right before meeting someone I thought I’d marry in college… that was 11 years ago. I’m still single, no prospects, the wait is not easy but I’m trusting God. It’s midnight & I was reminded of this poem. If you’re out there waiting, keep seeking God. Trust His timing, & His choice for your kingdom spouse. Don’t try to do it on your own. That’s all I got for now (speaking to myself too) 💕
I was impatient and had emotional scars by the time I met the man who really reflected the love of Christ. He was worth waiting for. Though I wish I did not bring my baggage into the relationship.
Ladies I know it is hard to wait, but trust God. Gods way is the best way. When you obey His law you avoid a lot of pain, and heartache. Wait on God and know He has a person for you. He says seek first Him and his kingdom and ALL things will be added to you. And God is not slack concerning His promises. A man that honors God with his mouth and his life. A man who strengthens your faith and pulls you closer to God. A man who you can pray with, and praise with. No he won't be perfect, and there is no perfect man. But don't settle for anything less than what you know God wants for you. Many woman get impatient. But if you go outside of God to get something, you have to stay outside of Him to keep it.
Heck Kane So profound and I keep on having to remind myself that God has good plans and that statement about the godly man i will cherish it forever. God bless you and thank you.
I’ve been in three relationships since I first saw this video when I was 17 (10 years ago) and each relationship ended with me coming back to this video and crying because of the overwhelming sense of shame, embarrassment, and regret. I’m thankful that the Lord gives us more than one chance and has a beautiful plan and purpose for us that’s better than anything we could even try to “force” to work out. I pray that this will be the LAST time that any of us will have to watch this video as a reminder…in Jesus’ name! ❤️🔥
I loved this. Glory to God!!! I decided to wait at the age of 16. I've never fell in love, and i have never had a boyfriend. I remember my words to God were " I give you my heart, take care of it. Don't let it fall in love until I see the one you chose for me" and God did so. I'm 22 right know and I can tell that God is faithful and he truly get serious every word you speak to him. I'm still single and I'm proud because God saved me from many heartaches and sadness. It is worth all the wait. God is always in time. I'll keep running to God and to his purpose for my life and I will one day eventually see a man by my side running with me. God's timimg is always perfect!! PS: sorry about my English. God bless you all!!!
I played this many years ago and one valentine's day I was single, depressed and absolutely devastated because of having my heart broken so many time's; I played this poem and cried and prayed... The next year I met my husband. It's always a good idea to wait on God.
"but to my FATHER, to my FATHER, who has known me before I was birthed into this earth, if YOU should only see fit. I DESIRE YOUR WILL ABOVE MINE, SO EVEN IF YOU CALL ME TO A LIFE OF SINGLENESS...my heart is CONTENT to YOU the ONE who was sent" [Poet Janette...ikz] - love this line!!!! IT'S SPEAKS TO WHERE OUR HEART SHOULD BE. OUR DESIRES SHOULDN'T TRY OR SUPERSEDE THE WILL OF GOD!!! LOVE IT!!!
After watching this many times i broke up with my boyfriend ´cause "all he could whisper was sweet, empty, nothings which meant NOTHING " Thank God for changing my view through you Janette Ikz, be blessed.
Naancy B Hey! when u get a chance if u cud check out my poetry and music page that would be awesome:) and gime some criticism and feed back that wud be awesome 😎😎
Janet just mentioned everything I didn't do.. and with that, I found my self in solitary confinement for 22years with 2men, 1daughter, 2divorces, and still unsatisfied. I know now, that true contentment is found in JESUS CHRIST!!!!...and now I am happy.
I remember watching this when i was 25& single and it spoke volumes to me. I’m 31 still single and happily waiting. It’s hard and heartbreaking seeing others progress and move forward when you seem stuck and the devil will have you think you are forgotten but i try not to dwell on that. Praying for my future husband, enjoying my season and cheerfully serving in the Church keeps me going. ❤️
I stumbled across this beautiful poem with hopes of success of my own endeavors , this gave me peace and confirmation on my own deep contemplation .... thank you 💞💞💞💞💞snaps snaps snaps 🥰you made my day literally suddenly I feel everything is going to be okay
Don't beat yourself up sis we all make mistakes. That's why we got a great God up in heaven that fixes us and forgive us and we can brush ourselves off and move on
I’m sorry, but I’m not sorry. I heard this poem 10 years ago, and God has brought me back to this video tonight, 10 years later......I could not be more blessed by this word❤️
Listening in 2024. Still trusting the Lord for marriage. He is faithful, and I will come back to this comment and give my testimony that I waited, did it God's way, and it was worth the wait in Jesus name. Amen. 🙏🏽💯
This was beautiful! This poem reminds me of my husband and I knew he was from God when we met. He didn't show up in a grand way, he just showed up and it was love at first sight. After dating for three weeks and getting to know each other, we got married a week before Christmas. Ten years and five kids later, we're still going strong. God has blessed everyday of our life and marriage, we have survived situations that would have broken the normal marriage or relationship apart.
Sieara DeLone Hey! when u get a chance if u cud check out my poetry and music page that would be awesome:) and gime some criticism and feed back that wud be awesome 😎😎
I have waited on God’s timing for 10 years. I’ve developed a deep relationship with the Lord. I am blessed to have had these 10 years. He is a good good Father. I feel the Holy Spirit is preparing me to meet my husband tomorrow. But even if He doesn’t, I will continue having a faith like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. ❤️🥰🙌🏽🙏🏽
Re-watching this again after watching her wedding vows. Shows that God has a plan for everyone and even though it might seem like its taking ages it is still going to happen eventually.
Her story encourages me so much because she trusted God weather single or married and now 6 years later she is married and have a daughter. Never give up and continue to trust God because you will reap a harvest if you faint not!!!!
At minute 2.25 though... "He couldn't even pray when I needed him to, asking him to fast would be absurd; so forget about being cleansed and washed with water through the Word" Sums it all up perfectly. No man who is not of God will do. His works will always be inferior to the standards set in Ephesians 5
Amen Sista!!!!! 35 years now with the one who looks like my daddy Jesus in all he does. Worth the wait!!!! Loved this so much. Thank you for the TRUTH you are speaking💖
When I was watching this poem as a teenager, I never thought this was apply to a guy. After getting my heart broken, I returned to this poem as a grown man and felt every word. I'm glad this is still around.
It's ironic how things. Go... I'm glad that your a better man this day... Stay blessed... You'll be great I believe in you!!! Everything is going to be a ok alright sleep tight and nope no bed bugs nor mosquito bites....☺️
the most incredibly beautiful thing. "I won't need to identify you by any special Matthews or any special marks because his word will be tattered all over your heart"
Wow. I was 19 years old when I first saw this lovely masterpiece! Now, rewatching/re-listening in 2024, is fostering nostalgic memories of my first time hearing it, and is encouraging new emotions and thoughts as a 30-something year old person.
I haven’t watched this since I was like probably like 14 years old & now I’m 26 sitting here in tears because I’m like I get it now 🥹 I can wait lord!!
I saw this many years ago but this hits deeper more than before. I’m turning 30, still not married. I recently ended a beautiful relationship with a man who I thought was my soulmate. He helped healed me. But he is a different religion and his family rejects me. So here I am alone again. I finally surrendered my whole life to God. Sometimes He has to isolate you and remove people from your life that you put first so you can make God first. I am more healed with Him in my life
I will wait for. Currently at my lowest, not nearly as perfect as this woman but trust me im still worth it. I know you're out there somewhere. I will wait for you, please wait for me.
I bumped into this, 3 months ago....a little later but it changed my life and I am waiting for him who will remind me of Solomons' wisdom and will go to Christ to find me. I wont settle for false companionship, deeeeeeep! Yeeh
Brilliant. Wow. God rewards faithfulness and patience. This sista is truly anointed. She just don't know how much she spoke to me. I be lead a life of singleness for 20 something years. I dated a bunch sorta kindas but tired of selling myself short because my patience and faith is here. I will wait ..
Being the oldest I get the pressure from family so yea 4:12 This video helps me when I notice myself wanting to be in a relationship it's like a quick slap of "wake up get focused"!
Has to double back in 2024, as my relationship with Christ is so much more stronger now! I used to know this word for word, almost. Felt good reciting this masterpiece again. 🙏🏾♥️
I found this 10 year ago and I'm still waiting. However, I have never been so content. WONT HE DO IT! Hold on and look to the sky from where your help comes from SIS AND BRO!
Her wedding vows brought me here. But God damn if she didn't explain me in both this and that one. Shes my soul bff man. Janette, reach out love. I get it and im behind your progress. I need you girl!
On this night you have been the physical representation of what I have clearly heard God speak to me concerning my past and even my present. One of your poems you said some of us are not able to hear clearly until we come into contact with someone who has been there. Thank you for your walk with Christ.. Thank you for your voice. Thank you God Bless you.. I see my purpose again all the abuse and hurt dried the ink from my pen.. Now with Christ I can #create
I used to remember that feeling of wanting something. Like, when I would see everyone around me in a relationship, and it feels like dry season. It doesn't feel right trying to get something on your own, and not being satisfied. It wasn't meant to be. I had realized in my relationship that I was myself in the whole time. I wasn't chasing anyone, though there were times when it came to that. I'm just thankful I didn't do anything stupid in hindsight.
Same thing applies towards us girls ...we are not perfect either sometimes we need to go for a walk and sleep on the couch cos we started that verbal altercation.
I posted this on my FB, 6 years ago. It came up in my “memories” today. I had completely forgotten about it, but am so glad I posted it! Listening to this 6 years later, it has such a different meaning to me. I love it. Don’t ever take this video down. The message is SO important, vital to our souls. What was once for me, is now for my daughters. 😌💕💕
So, I bumped into this poem back in 2012 after watching Ready Or Not. #IWWFY was a yr or 2 old at the time. INSTANTLY I knew God had orchestrated it bcz Jeanette was all up & thru MY BIZNESS... & I didn't know how to feel abt it! Chile, I LOATHE a good think-piece & before I could tell My Daddy that Jeanette was out here in these streets gossiping abt me, I found this on repeat. All day. EVERYDAY. No lie. This WHOLE poem really became a daily prayer- recited it OUT LOUD with my WHOLE chest. Life IS IN the tongue, chile. As the years would pass, I grew more discontent with my dating PATTERNS/HABITS: I dated men who I knew I would never marry. Once I realized this, I stopped, bitterly, but I stopped. I was more upset at the fact that I was BLINDLY settling, KNOWINGLY compromising & WASTING. MY. TIME. I was so tired of ME! I ran across this poem again & instantly realized my Growth: the first portion didn't hit like it used to, but the last bit did! It was at the 6:42 mark that I realized that all I truly desired was to be at peace WITH THE GREATEST LOVE EVER KNOWN, My Father! (He never mishandled me, so why would I allow someone else to? He loves me unconditionally, so why would I accept anything less? My Father wants the best for me, So. Why. SHOULD. I. Accept. Anything. Less???!) Chile, my 💚 was on fire! 🥰 I gained a DIFFERENT kind of appreciation for God in that season of my life. It's March of 2022, & I'm a Wife now. My thought process is different now; my level of understanding is different- Hunni, MY LEVEL OF SELF WORTH IS IN A WHOLE DIFFERENT TAX BRACKET, if you will. Lol. But seriously, I could sit, be narrow-minded & complain abt why it took so long for it to happen, but I'm not, simply bcz I'm grateful that it happened at the time it did: I needed to make room for it! Any sooner & I would've squandered it from the jump. I wasn't "ready" for the responsibility. There was some healing that needed to take place. And honestly, for me, it happened RIGHT ON TIME & when I least expected it... AND when it WAS happening, I was still clueless & in disbelief. Like, God, is this really happening? Like REALLY really happening...to ME?? 🤯 Lol. & yes, some rumors are true: Marriage is challenging! It causes you to stretch & grow & change for the betterment. There's a lot of un-learning, learning, & re-learning to do... well that's been OUR Journey so far. But it's worth it! 🥰💕 I am so gracious to Abba. 🙌🏾💚
I can't believe it's been 13 years!🤯 I used to listen to this as a sound in my BlackBerry back then. Today in 2024, I just had a conviction to search for it and I remember it word for word🥺 I was too young back then, but today it sounds so much clearer as an adult. I will wait for You Lord🙌🏽
Who still comes to watch this in 2020? This never gets old 🥰
Me.... When i am astray i always come here and reminded of how I used to be and will forever be
Watching this right now lol
Yuh
QueenRiica Chile 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I keep coming back!
Never would've thought that I'd come back to this masterpiece in 2023 to seek comfort for what I'm currently going through....like the watchman waits for morning, Lord I will wait for you😊
I'm here too to find comfort with what I'm going through. This is truly a masterpiece.
@@keturahmtonga4557 may it be well with you 🥰

The fact that he was there !!!!! In the crowd . Watching her perform this . Her future husband !!!!
@ Keke Does Disney
Wow that's amazing,I didn't know that
God is faithful
It's 2022 and I still watch this...
ALSO, I have FOUND HIM!! He definitely was worth waiting for. Its true, "you're not asking for too much, you're just asking the wrong person"
I like that!!
I am thankful to have this as my truth!! Years of the lie...It is an amazing feeling.
Same. Even his family was worth the wait. What a soft & beautiful love.
I'm so glad you found him too. Nothing thrills me more than a black woman being LOVED loved😍🥰
2023 and here I am 😁
It’s February 2023 and I still come back!! Amazing.
It’s 2023… it’s safe to say this is a timeless piece ❤
Yes, at this point I know it word for word
Yes but what has happened to her marriage ?
One of my favorites! Came back to listen in 2024!!!❤❤❤
I recited this poem my freshman year in college for a class. Now, 27 single with a full ministry. This poem really helps me remember that i'll always wait for Gods Best and to be okay if it is just Me and God 💕 I will wait for You!
You're amazing 👏 I'm practicing and trying to motivate myself to recite it for my Church ❤
I come back to watch every so often just to remind myself WHY I'm waiting. Everything is God's perfect timing.
me too
Nikki Dunn ~reading through these comments and couldn’t help to ask- are you still waiting for his timing?
@@christinajean761 I got derailed but I've since dusted myself off and I'm back on track. 😉

Phathu Phathu well dang, that's very discouraging. luckily, you can't foresee the future.
+Shelly Bellz God bless you in your period of patience.
VICTHERICAN thanks :)
If its meant to be it will be . The key is to wait as if your not waiting. Stop listening to this video everyday and just pray may help.
Madame Yk i don't listen every day lol. maybe about twice a year.

@@authenticbee How are you doing these days???
I was impatient and had emotional scars by the time I met the man who really reflected the love of Christ. He was worth waiting for. Though I wish I did not bring my baggage into the relationship.
She spoke her husband into existence! Who still watching this in 2017?
Sharica Andrews - and 2018🙏🏾
2018... been listening since it first hit the scene
Here June 2018!
Not me
Sharica Andrews really though 🙌🏿😃
Ladies I know it is hard to wait, but trust God. Gods way is the best way. When you obey His law you avoid a lot of pain, and heartache. Wait on God and know He has a person for you. He says seek first Him and his kingdom and ALL things will be added to you. And God is not slack concerning His promises. A man that honors God with his mouth and his life. A man who strengthens your faith and pulls you closer to God. A man who you can pray with, and praise with. No he won't be perfect, and there is no perfect man. But don't settle for anything less than what you know God wants for you. Many woman get impatient. But if you go outside of God to get something, you have to stay outside of Him to keep it.
Heck Kane God bless you....your last statement was for me..thank you
Amen to that !
Awesomely penned!!!!
Heck Kane So profound and I keep on having to remind myself that God has good plans and that statement about the godly man i will cherish it forever. God bless you and thank you.

We need to
"That I knew he wasn't you from the beginning...because In the beginning was the word and he didn't even sound or shine like your son!" DEEEEEEPPP!!
🙌🏾
Hmm
I loved this. Glory to God!!! I decided to wait at the age of 16. I've never fell in love, and i have never had a boyfriend. I remember my words to God were " I give you my heart, take care of it. Don't let it fall in love until I see the one you chose for me" and God did so. I'm 22 right know and I can tell that God is faithful and he truly get serious every word you speak to him. I'm still single and I'm proud because God saved me from many heartaches and sadness. It is worth all the wait. God is always in time. I'll keep running to God and to his purpose for my life and I will one day eventually see a man by my side running with me. God's timimg is always perfect!!
PS: sorry about my English. God bless you all!!!
Lovely prayer
Amen sis, may you remain encouraged in the Lord and strengthen in his spirit
Jinny Woo Can you give me advice about you did it a and how you can wait??
Amen.
wow. awesome. I'm 23. been waiting since I was 17. it helps and makes it easier to have likeminded godly friends

After dating for three weeks and getting to know each other, we got married a week before Christmas. Ten years and five kids later, we're still going strong.

so yall married after only three weeks of dating
+aslen7 yes we got married three weeks after meeting!
Him coming period is a grand way to me lol. That's beautiful that you got married soon. I always found it odd when Christians would court for years.
Most Christians court for years was either the guy holding out for something better or they were saving up for the wedding and deposit for a home.

2019....I'm at the point where I'm ready to sit in my bed, alone, and write poems about how I will wait for him.
2024 anyone?
Yes please!
I'm here
Yes!
Came back after watching her Vow at her wedding... Phenomenal to the very least. She is a beast!
Am here
2021, just for a refresher, still going strong. This message gives life at each listen. 🗣💎 #wait
Yes it does!!!
It's been 11 years now since I've listened to this poem and I am still waiting. Thank Janette for sharing your heart and Godly wisdom. :)
🦋💝🦾🌻
I dont know how I stumbled upon this woman's videos but I'm glad I did
amen me too
This never gets old❤️❤️
Amen Sista!!!!! 35 years now with the one who looks like my daddy Jesus in all he does. Worth the wait!!!! Loved this so much. Thank you for the TRUTH you are speaking💖
That was beautiful, eventho im 4 years late its good to know there's a woman out there willing to wait for me.
DtownCboy Her wait is over. She's married now, and they just had a baby
His first name Luke, his last name warm...I love it! I will wait for you plz say you'll wait for me too😊
It's 2024 and this is still good and even more needed. God bless you first this timeless word.❤
When I was watching this poem as a teenager, I never thought this was apply to a guy. After getting my heart broken, I returned to this poem as a grown man and felt every word. I'm glad this is still around.
It's ironic how things. Go... I'm glad that your a better man this day... Stay blessed... You'll be great I believe in you!!! Everything is going to be a ok alright sleep tight and nope no bed bugs nor mosquito bites....☺️
the most incredibly beautiful thing. "I won't need to identify you by any special Matthews or any special marks because his word will be tattered all over your heart"
Am I the only one who came back to this video to see if I could spot Matt in the audience? :) ... Congratulations!
I was looking! 👀
No!!! I was too!!!! Lol
Lol I did :)
Me too!
Was he in the audience wow fate is amazing.
Wow. I was 19 years old when I first saw this lovely masterpiece! Now, rewatching/re-listening in 2024, is fostering nostalgic memories of my first time hearing it, and is encouraging new emotions and thoughts as a 30-something year old person.
Hello future me who has come once again to remind herself, keep waiting girl!

Still here 2024 !!!
When I first heard this i was very young and didn't understand this poem. I just thought it was clever. Oh i get it now lol
Jennette…Ikz😊 this is 2024 and I still remember this…please where are you?
I haven’t watched this since I was like probably like 14 years old & now I’m 26 sitting here in tears because I’m like I get it now 🥹 I can wait lord!!
I saw this many years ago but this hits deeper more than before. I’m turning 30, still not married. I recently ended a beautiful relationship with a man who I thought was my soulmate. He helped healed me. But he is a different religion and his family rejects me. So here I am alone again. I finally surrendered my whole life to God. Sometimes He has to isolate you and remove people from your life that you put first so you can make God first. I am more healed with Him in my life
I will wait for. Currently at my lowest, not nearly as perfect as this woman but trust me im still worth it. I know you're out there somewhere. I will wait for you, please wait for me.
I sit here wondering of how much I can get away with and still be saved! That just put me in tears! Jesus fix my heart please.
I bumped into this, 3 months ago....a little later but it changed my life and I am waiting for him who will remind me of Solomons' wisdom and will go to Christ to find me. I wont settle for false companionship, deeeeeeep!
Yeeh
Brilliant. Wow. God rewards faithfulness and patience. This sista is truly anointed. She just don't know how much she spoke to me. I be lead a life of singleness for 20 something years. I dated a bunch sorta kindas but tired of selling myself short because my patience and faith is here. I will wait ..
Being the oldest I get the pressure from family so yea 4:12
This video helps me when I notice myself wanting to be in a relationship
it's like a quick slap of "wake up get focused"!
Yes Same here Keep pressing sis!
Yessenia Escobar God will honour your trust; even if it's not what you/I/We expect, His timing is always perfect, as is His will!
Yessenia Escobar Yeeeeeeesss!!!!!! lol Couldn't have been said any better.
***** wow, amen
Has to double back in 2024, as my relationship with Christ is so much more stronger now! I used to know this word for word, almost. Felt good reciting this masterpiece again. 🙏🏾♥️
It’s 2020 and I’m still in awe of this ♥️
This summarised the reality of those who serve the King!💞
I found this 10 year ago and I'm still waiting. However, I have never been so content. WONT HE DO IT! Hold on and look to the sky from where your help comes from SIS AND BRO!
Married based on this and sharing it with others to wait on the Lord 🙏🏼
I always come back to this when I need Inspiration and a blessing. I will wait for the man of God I know he has for me
Her wedding vows brought me here. But God damn if she didn't explain me in both this and that one. Shes my soul bff man. Janette, reach out love. I get it and im behind your progress. I need you girl!
On this night you have been the physical representation of what
I have clearly heard God speak to me concerning my past and even my present. One of your poems you said some of us are not able to hear clearly until we come into contact with someone who has been there. Thank you for your walk with Christ.. Thank you for your voice. Thank you God Bless you.. I see my purpose again all the abuse and hurt dried the ink from my pen.. Now with Christ I can #create
2019 and I have to watch as a reminder to myself to wait for him.
I used to remember that feeling of wanting something. Like, when I would see everyone around me in a relationship, and it feels like dry season. It doesn't feel right trying to get something on your own, and not being satisfied. It wasn't meant to be. I had realized in my relationship that I was myself in the whole time. I wasn't chasing anyone, though there were times when it came to that. I'm just thankful I didn't do anything stupid in hindsight.
I love her. I had to return to this video. Powerful.
Still watching in 2016 and still encouraged ....May God bless you Jeannette and yours .
Who still comes to watch this in 2021??? 🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️
One of my favorite poem. 4 years and still in love with this poem ❤️
SimplyKaren28 Me too! It helps me to continue to wait on GOD'S BEST!
Karen McGee : God knows best. Your time if according to his will. Seek and trust his time.
SimplyKaren28 Amen!
Having to come listen to this every once in a while because its easy to fall for an "almost" guy. This truly is a powerful word.
Same thing applies towards us girls ...we are not perfect either sometimes we need to go for a walk and sleep on the couch cos we started that verbal altercation.
why does this remind me of my situation?! girl was speaking the truth omg.
Still coming back to this in 2023. 🙌🏻 First saw it in 2015. Still waiting on the Lord.
It's been over 4 years since I first watched this. Still strikes hard.
Thank you Janette ikz for this piece.
I posted this on my FB, 6 years ago. It came up in my “memories” today. I had completely forgotten about it, but am so glad I posted it! Listening to this 6 years later, it has such a different meaning to me. I love it. Don’t ever take this video down. The message is SO important, vital to our souls. What was once for me, is now for my daughters. 😌💕💕
So, I bumped into this poem back in 2012 after watching Ready Or Not. #IWWFY was a yr or 2 old at the time. INSTANTLY I knew God had orchestrated it bcz Jeanette was all up & thru MY BIZNESS... & I didn't know how to feel abt it!
Chile, I LOATHE a good think-piece & before I could tell My Daddy that Jeanette was out here in these streets gossiping abt me, I found this on repeat. All day. EVERYDAY. No lie.
This WHOLE poem really became a daily prayer- recited it OUT LOUD with my WHOLE chest. Life IS IN the tongue, chile.
As the years would pass, I grew more discontent with my dating PATTERNS/HABITS: I dated men who I knew I would never marry. Once I realized this, I stopped, bitterly, but I stopped. I was more upset at the fact that I was BLINDLY settling, KNOWINGLY compromising & WASTING. MY. TIME. I was so tired of ME!
I ran across this poem again & instantly realized my Growth: the first portion didn't hit like it used to, but the last bit did! It was at the 6:42 mark that I realized that all I truly desired was to be at peace WITH THE GREATEST LOVE EVER KNOWN, My Father! (He never mishandled me, so why would I allow someone else to? He loves me unconditionally, so why would I accept anything less? My Father wants the best for me, So. Why. SHOULD. I. Accept. Anything. Less???!)
Chile, my 💚 was on fire! 🥰 I gained a DIFFERENT kind of appreciation for God in that season of my life.
It's March of 2022, & I'm a Wife now. My thought process is different now; my level of understanding is different- Hunni, MY LEVEL OF SELF WORTH IS IN A WHOLE DIFFERENT TAX BRACKET, if you will. Lol.
But seriously, I could sit, be narrow-minded & complain abt why it took so long for it to happen, but I'm not, simply bcz I'm grateful that it happened at the time it did: I needed to make room for it! Any sooner & I would've squandered it from the jump. I wasn't "ready" for the responsibility. There was some healing that needed to take place. And honestly, for me, it happened RIGHT ON TIME & when I least expected it... AND when it WAS happening, I was still clueless & in disbelief. Like, God, is this really happening? Like REALLY really happening...to ME?? 🤯 Lol.
& yes, some rumors are true: Marriage is challenging! It causes you to stretch & grow & change for the betterment. There's a lot of un-learning, learning, & re-learning to do... well that's been OUR Journey so far. But it's worth it! 🥰💕
I am so gracious to Abba. 🙌🏾💚
I can't believe it's been 13 years!🤯
I used to listen to this as a sound in my BlackBerry back then. Today in 2024, I just had a conviction to search for it and I remember it word for word🥺
I was too young back then, but today it sounds so much clearer as an adult. I will wait for You Lord🙌🏽
This still goes so hard and I've been married almost 3 years now! Can't wait to show this to my children
It's 2022 and years after watching this, it still gives me chills. Gives me a reminder of why I am and should wait. #keepingthefaith
Watching this after years. It literally gave me goosebumps
I’m here in 2021 listening to this like the 1000th time. First name Luke, last name warm. Just heard that.
