Reality Check

This semester I have had the opportunity to go deeper with the people around me. But before that could happen I had to get myself out of the equation. Before I would believe that the reason that I wasn't hanging out with people was because I was invited. In my stubbornness, I believe that if people want to spend time with me they will ask to spend time with me. But clearly! The world doesn't revolve around Faith Udoudo Umoh! lol Such a crazy revelation I had. "Faith why don't you go out your way to spend time with people!"

Quality Time

In the midst of time with people I also choose to be vulnerable and not put on the mask that my life was just fabulous. It's beautiful what the Lord does when you are transparent with people, it really unites the body! Because every person that I was transparent with was actually going through the same thing! Crazy! When I didn't even know it, Jesus was in the midst of us, uniting our life!

So relationships, are the one thing that I am thankful for this semester

¹⁴ For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. ¹⁵ And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again

2Corinthians 5:14-15

This World is not Conclusion.

 A Species stands beyond -- 

Invisible, as Music -- 

But positive, as Sound --

 It beckons, and it baffles -- 

Philosophy -- don't know -- 

And through a Riddle, at the last -- 

Sagacity, must go -- 

To guess it, puzzles scholars -- 

To gain it, 

Men have borne 

Contempt of Generations 

And Crucifixion, shown -- 

Faith slips -- and laughs, and rallies -- 

Blushes, if any see -- 

Plucks at a twig of Evidence -- 

And asks a Vane, the way -- 

Much Gesture, from the Pulpit -- 

Strong Hallelujahs roll --

 Narcotics cannot still the Tooth 

That nibbles at the soul --
