This Thing Called LIFE! K.Byrd on the mic

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY DREAM

While vacationing in my hometown of Virginia over the weekend, I had a strange dream that I would like to share. It was Saturday night (well Sunday morning) in the wee hours of the morning, the dream felt so real and I quickly realized the meaning.

I was in a jewelry store and noticed a unique ring with biblical content which showcased a picture of Jesus and an angel. At the time I didn’t pay close attention to the details of the ring, I just saw that it was biblical and figured I’d buy it. I placed it on my left ring finger (the wedding finger). Later, I stopped by my cousin Leha’s house who admired the ring and asked if she could see it. She took one close look and said “Why are you wearing a ring where Jesus is lustful? This is not Jesus”. I became defensive and snatched the ring from her hand and replied “What are you talking about? Let me see that”. When I looked at the ring this time I immediately knew it wasn’t Jesus and my cousin was right. It was a lustful ring.

Suddenly, my eyesight was better than 20/20 and I could see clearly each and every detail of the ring. On the right side was a female “angel” wearing a red dress with white angel wings behind her. The left side had a picture of Jesus gazing over at the “angel” with his right hand on his chest. Around his neck was a charm necklace which quoted a “biblical scripture” that read “Ready For The King?” When I saw this I felt horrible, I ran as fast as I could to the trash can to throw the ring away.

My dream then flashes to me in bed crying and asking for the Lord’s forgiveness in purchasing such a ring and not paying close enough attention to the details. I cried and cried and I kept seeing extremely bright flashes of light similar to lightning. I curled up in the bed trying to cover my eyes but it didn’t work, the light flashes were just too bright. I then reached over to grab a pillow to place over my face and eyes but I was unable to pull the pillow. It was as if someone was holding the other end and wouldn’t let me grab it.

And that’s when I woke up. It was approximately 5 o’clock in the morning and I couldn’t get back to sleep. I sat up in the bed and thought about the meaning and it hit me suddenly. I knew exactly who and what this was related to in my life. 

To be continued….

Some advice for you ladies…

I know what he SAID yesterday, but what is he DOING today?

Stop holding onto what he told you back then. If his actions show the opposite today… Believe his ACTIONS not his “past” WORDS.

Happy Birthday mommy! I miss you…

Diary Of A Moody Chic

1st things first, I am blessed and YES I know it! I am thankful and grateful to God for everything He has done, is doing, and WILL DO in my life. However, I am a moody chic. *sigh* Always have been. God bless those in my life who have never witnessed it. God bless you all :-). Today, which happens to be Mother’s Day; I had a terrible case of moodiness. Sure, it could have been caused by today’s special day and the fact that I don’t have a mother anymore…but I also think that it was just one of those days. I was not feeling it today. My cousin whom I love dearly is temporarily living with me and I barely spoke a word to her all day and practically ignored her when she tried to speak to me. ATTITUDE. But why? What has my panties in a bunch, why so rude? I went to dinner with my homeboy and was even in a rude spewing frenzy while eating the most delicious meal I’ve had all week, what the heck? It wasn’t until he said to me “Kennese, aren’t you grateful for your life?” that I realized I’d been feeling “off” from the moment I woke up this morning. 

My sporadic mood swings is something I’ve been praying about and I can’t wait for the Lord to deliver me. In the meantime, I thought I’d share this as a mini diary and maybe some of you can relate. 

Blessings to you all

Morning Thoughts

Exciting things have been taking place in my life over the past few weeks, and although I am immeasurably grateful and thankful; i’ve realized my excitement level isn’t as high as I would expect. Don’t get me wrong I am happy and eternally grateful and do not take anything for granted as I know from where my help comes, but why am I not bouncing around in total joy? Well, this morning it hit me… my mother isn’t here to experience these things with me. I understand she’s with me in spirit and I speak to her often, however it’s a bit different without her physical presence. It’s difficult, I suppose, to truly celebrate and relish in your achievements when the one person who meant the most to you isn’t there to root you on and cheer in your corner. The new developments in my life aren’t even the huge gigantic things like marriage or kids, so I can only imagine when those things happen how hard it will be. I just pray to God every day and ask for his help in allowing me to cope, because the feeling of loss never goes away. 

This scripture is right on time & SO true!

1 Peter 5:10

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

Dear Bobbi Kristina…

I woke up at 6 o’clock this morning thinking about you. I don’t know you and didn’t know your mother, but what I do know is the pain of losing one. I lost my mother unexpectedly just a few short months ago and it’s been difficult for me to cope even at the age of 30. It is a pain that shows no discrimination on age; and at the precious age of 18, Bobbi I pray that understanding finds you. I pray for your peace and I’m praying for your comfort. I pray that you receive a word from God and with that he sends a word from your mother. I pray that either in a dream or the natural, that you have a communication with your mom which soothes you. I want you to know that there is a nation of people praying for you, your grandmother Cissy, and for all of your family and loved ones. May a peace come over you all.

Prayerfully
