ms Beautiful Thought: A blog

The problem with getting married is that self-centered people, who haven't learned to love themselves, or God, do it. For goodness sakes, the problem is not the institution, it's the individuals. No person who is still holding onto childhood fears, they are not willing to admit, or can not anticipate the needs of someone else should get married. It doesn't mean one will one day be a mind reader, or should be, it means they can see outside themselves and have the capacity to strive to please another person. Never tie up with someone who is not available....to love you....then get mad when they don't. I've never been married but God has been giving me bits of revelation. We are often so consumed with how we've allowed someone to make us feel we forget that power actually is internal. When we can begin to understand this and take responsibility for how we feel in any situation and how we choose to act, we can begin to stop being so defensive in our communicatio...

It's the simplest revelations sometimes... It hit me that I have spiritual earplugs and earphones. I have been irritated, frustrated, even hurt at times listening to negativity and people who can't see how pessimistic they are. So instead of reacting I will begin to use my spiritual ear plugs. Only what God says about me is truth, everything else is subjective and relative to them. I don't have to make other people's opinions & perceptions my problem, no matter who they are. I can smile knowing that doesn't mean I agree. I can be quiet and I'll also hear God's spirit whispering truths in my ear. #Noise cancelling earphones #Block out the negativity Let God's truths fill you with positive thoughts of who you are and where He is leading you. You are not perfect but through God's love, grace, and mercy you'll be all He designed you to be. Don't let anyone lead you to believe differently. God's peace and love to you. ~ Beautiful Thoug...

I proclaimed that I was going to Live and be Authentic . So here goes that. I never , I say never , imagined there would come a time I would lie in bed in so much pain that I couldn't sleep. I had to sit up, but yet and still all I can do now is breath heavy and cry as tears come down my face. I pray God takes some of this from me. I can never judge another because who am I to judge. I been through and am going through too much. Lord please bless every person waking during the night to darkness and complete silence except their heavy breathing and tears falling. Bless every person in pain of any kind. WoW!!! It just just hit me how could Jesus have felt on the cross!?? I got some relief by sitting up, but He couldn't move. He was in so much pain He cried out, "My God, My God why has thou forsaken me?" I feel That pain, but yet I know God has Not left and every situation could be much worse. For that I will still praise Him through it. I pray now that the devil wil...

MY TESTIMONY *Excerpts of my life from 1992 and 1995. I was asked to submit my testimony for a book about women who God has helped them overcome greatly. I simply told others to do it because I felt I had no powerful testimony...I now realize through this poem that my LIFE is a testimony.* Thank you for not killing me... When I myself wanted to die, anyway Well maybe not, pass from this life But become dead to the pain I felt When you both told me we, our relationship was dead, over See two...

Valentine's dinner menu was planned some time ago...lobster, shrimp, broccoli, garlic toast and brownies & ice cream to eat at our new table. I wanted to do something special for him. God planned ahead knowing this would be also a time for healing and renewal. So....we set up dinner and got dressed for our date. He could not understand why we were dressing up but took great pride in picking out his own outfit. Collectively we looked for a lighter, deciding to add candles...when he got full he played his violin for me in his suit while I finished his plate. Afterwards, he decided he would take my hand so we could swing arms & sing Happy Valentines Day to us (who does that lol), that turned into two dances. We danced last to India Arie "Ready for Love". He enjoying the time cracking up at our twists, turns, & bends unaware God was preparing him...for life for love for wife. We ate desert in front of the fireplace, and as our love was rekindled we watched the ...

Myself, Beautiful Thought, am pictured with the bride after performing a poetry collaboration with Stephen Sparrow, for her wedding ceremony. I matched perfectly though I did not know prior what the wedding colors were. The groom, Byron, connected with me on Facebook after seeing me perform my 1st poetry feature at Artist Village in 2010 (His quote- "I truly enjoyed your inspiring...thought provoking... powerful words last night...may God keep using you as one of His sharpest tools. ~B. Smooth). Byron has been following my poetic growth since Fall 2010; who knew he would ask me to perform at his wedding one day. I was looking for a muse to pen my wedding day poetry but I never "found" any exactly. All the words I said were a combination of words I wrote at different points in my growth over the last two years. No one knew, not even Sparrow at first, that it was not a brand new piece. I realize now that I Am Love and what is symbolic is that all the inspiration I ...
