Can I Have It?

This is what I've been askin God since Friday night...Praise Me!, is what I've been hearing since then as well. I don't know what came over me but on my way home last night from a wonderful play by DU's Gospel Choir I began thanking God out loud, IN THE STREET!!! Luckily this is Philly so I blended in well with the crazies talkin out loud to themselves..lol..
But anyway, I began thankin Him for just being God and for everything He's given me then I began to thank Him for things I've been praying for and people I've been praying for. I felt so good and close to Him and I couldn't tell what He was doin but I was comfortable with the feeling I got about everything. I got some great news and as soon as I left I asked God, "Can I have this please?" and Greg, the choir director, begins this lil sermonette that hit me right in the heart.
For a while I've been askin what the Lord would have me do for Him and the kingdom, it just seemed like everybody was doin something and i was comfortable just being a part of the congregation ministry but i got so many pulls and i couldn't figure it out so i just stopped askin, but last nite I asked Him again, "Whatever you want me to do, Lord just tell me"...Well this morning after church one of the ministers at the church asked me to sit on the Youth Ministry Leadership Council of the church. She explained that the people who sit on the board are all full of themselves, too concerned with forming cliques, and too busy tryin to make it all a "Drexel thing" and she needed to step back and allow "fresh annointing" to take over...I laughed because I knew that was happening. I was honored and scared at the same time because I know they are not gonna appreciate me and Tasha comin on board and wreckin ship...lol But I told God whatever He wanted from me will get done, so we'll just wait to see what Bishop says...
I thank God for stepping in the lives of those I've loved in prayer, I thank Him for snatching the lives of those I've stood in proxy for and saving them when He gets ready to, I thank Him for staying close to me even when I forgot He was there. I'm thankful for the future I haven't figured out yet, I'm just greatful...Lord, I promise to do everything and put You first, and whatever you have planned I'll trust You, so Lord, can I have it??

Natasha Kay Moore

Sometimes in the midst of all the drama that surrounds us, we tend to overlook certain factors of life that make it a lil easier to keep your head above water, this blog is dedicated to my life support jacket, Natasha Kay Moore.
Who would've thought that I would end up being best friends with someone that at one point I absolutely could not stand! lol People who knew both of us never expected us to become as close as we are and drama popped up a few times around us but we would later find that we could never really trash the friendship because God actually had His hand right in the mix {this I can definitely testify to}. I've never met anyone with such merciless loyalty. We'll never understand why we had to go through some of the *ish we did, but I'm so grateful that we were able to be eachother's crutch when necessary. When I get weak, she is always there to show me that whatever situation I'm in, it's only temporary. When there are people positioned in your life that know you for YOU and still choose to love you anyway, stand by you anyway, and beat the crap out of anyone who dared to step out of place in your honor, then you know you are blessed with a wonderful friendship. This one in particular reminds me of the story of Noah {yea I had to take it to the Bible..lol}
After the flood, Noah was rejoicing a lil too hard and got drunk. So drunk that he fell out butt-naked, a sign of disgrace. Well one son saw his father knocked out naked and ran out to tell his brothers and made fun of his father. When the other two brothers heard this they automatically went into "loyalty mode" and took a blanket, walked into the tent BACKWARD {because it was unlawful and disgraceful for a child to see their parent's nakedness} and covered their father up before anyone else would be able to exploit him. When Noah found out what happened he cursed the first son but blessed the saving two sons.
Someone that is not about gettin all in my business, but would rather wait until I reveal it but still pray for me. Someone that if I go through something and need support, will fast and pray for weeks with me!!! Someone that when others wanna laugh, judge, or criticize would take action to make sure that I'm taken care of. Someone that knows my ins and outs, my triumphs and my faults and serve as a covering of all my mess. Someone that when I come up will also come up with me, she'll probably be the one pushin me up there anyway. I pray for a lifelong friendship and I thank our Father for makin us spiritual sisters since He knew why He didn't make us biological ones {it all comes together}. Sincere, thank yous goes out to you for staying loyal when others acted up, Deep love goes to you for just being there, Never ending prayers go up for you and that great future ahead of you: Dr. Natasha Moore, MD Pediatric Cardiothorasic Surgeon {that sounds GREAT!!!} Thank You.
In the beginning I didn't think it was possible to love my opposite but they do attract AND she's a Virgo {my oppostie sign}!!! lol I LOVE YOU!

More Questions...

Practical Questions:
1. Do we have the power to alter our future or is everything that happens/will happen all mapped out without our input?
2. When choosing friends, what should you look for to determine whether or not they'll ever turn on you/support you no matter what/understand you?
3. If you saw your pastor or Donnie McClurkin/Yolanda Adams or someone like that at a lounge, would you question their ministry or see them as regular people out having a good night?

Emotional Questions:
1. Can you ever turn love off?
2. Is it easier to open up to close friends with opinions or aquaintances that just wanna be there?
3. How is it POSSIBLE for one man to hold the hearts of 3 women in the palm of his hand and care about each one???
4. Is it possible to hold the hearts of 2 people in your hand and not really care because neither one of them belongs to HIM/HER?
5. What do you do if you knew/understood the pain of a friend in every way possible but you couldn't let them know and didn't know how to help them because you, yourself are stuck in the same rut?
6. Why do we find the one that loves us to no end, is not ashamed to show the world how happy and lucky he feels to have you by his side and still not be able to let go of the one that was the cause of indefinite tears, sleepless nights, and relentless headaches?
7. If it's "destiny", why was there ever a seperation?

This is what happens when I allow my mind to go over the mountains of life...any answers anyone???

Random Questions

1. What's really love and how much of a fight should be made to maintain/have it?
2. What's loyalty? Do females really posess any?
3. When is the line drawn between too trusting and introvert?
4. Can you really love more than one person at the same time?
5. Are dreams really unattainable? How do you know before you actually step out in a mission to reach them?

Some questions plague the mind from time to time...maybe soon I'll be able to either answer them myself or someone can provide some for me...
