Andre has his 'prototype', and I have mine. My relationship with Jesus/God/Holy Spirit should be the foundation-relationship in my life, upon which other relationships are able to stand firm. If there's a crack in my relationship with the Trio, than there's no reason to doubt that cracks will exist in my other relationships as well, namely my relationships with men (and in my mind, one man in particular).
It's been my experience that God will not allow you to have something (or someone) if that thing (or person) is going to distract your attention from him--that is, he won't let you have it for too long. He'll let you play with it for a little while, until you learn the error of ways, and then he'll take it away from you and make you start all over from scratch.
I really like this man (the man I alluded to earlier) and I want him as my life-partner, my husband, the father of my children, etc. BUT, I've been through enough of God's bootcamps to know that no matter how strongly I want this thing to happen, all of my desire won't do a bit of good if my focus isn't right--that is, if I allow my desires to supercede God's desires; permit the man to sit in God's chair; let the man eat the big piece of chicken (re: Chris Rock), etc.
So my epiphany in all of this--get it right with God first. Show him that he's number one, treat him like he's number one, make him number one. Talk to him like I would a lover, spend time with him like a would a lover, treat him like a lover--actually fall in love with Jesus. Not only is it good practice for me to learn how to operate within a loving relationship, but the love that God and I will weave together is the only love that will truly stand when all else fails.
Peace

In this time when we see our hopes dreams and aspirations threatening to crumble before us reminding us that we are only human it is a strength to be able to go inside the temple of t he most high living God and commune with him self. To know his name and be reminded that he called you there to find rest. Being an Empress for the Lord is a journey inward that requires so much inspiration and I am so thankful that the I am that I am has love that is everlasting and merciful without any end. This is the calm after our perpetual storms during our storms and sometimes the understanding that surpasses a peace that sometimes we don't even understand when we see it taking full control. I just know I am thankful for this moment. and that I have been given oppurtunity after oppurtunity to remain in a place of thanksgiving. Our days are hard stressful and tryin you never know when and where your health and strength is comming from. Ever present be your praises and ever present will be your blessings for indeed I have exprienced that it is of his good pleasure to serve us and remind us that we are made in his image as God and Goddess.
I love you all in the love that God has given. May BLESSINGS continue to encircle our thrones. My our prayers be sent up and nurtured, each of us all. I also pray that we find healing along with every other thing imaginable that we desire be it the will of the greatest goods.I am grateful Thank You God in me.

Put God first
I agree!!! with both comments.
By placing the One (Most High God) who created and knew you first, in everything, when storms comes you will stand on His solid rock. This I thought I had but learned the hard way that God was not really number One. My husband was (One), then God second so when things changed I became a big mess. Wow!!!! The arguments just won't stop. It's been almost four years but I'm slowly getting my peace, joy, and strength back. That no matter what the out come maybe I will stand on my Creator, my solid rock!!! Although things seem to be getting better, relationship with other family members got destroyed. I just started reading Sacred Woman and wish I had this book before I got married or before my storm came. Things could have been handled differently. Put God/Most High Creator first!!!!
Peace and Blessings
If God is within everything,
If God is within everything, then your mate/king. husband should be exalted as the God He is as well. & most importantly I think that it is most essential to get right with the God/dess in you first...Talk to your inner spirit like you would a lover, spend time with your inner self like you would a lover, treat your inner Goddess like a lover--actually fall in love with you! Then and only then by seeing and experiencing the God within you will you be able to exude the amount of love and affection that is needed to give to Godliness within all other things, The Most High, and to that special man you have your eye on! How can you get it right with Jesus/ or the Creator, If you aint got it right with you first. LOL Sis, and I wish you much peace on your journey to love!
