Tank's blog: "Thought of the Day!!"

My dearest Ruth,

I'm on bended knee praying for you. My heart longs for your love. Where is the Lord keeping you. My eyes  look for your gaze across the room hoping to make contact. My arms seek your embrace, seek your touch. How will I know it is you, will I tell by your eyes, or maybe your touch. The Lord stills my soul preparing my heart for that day when we meet. My heart cries out to the Father to keep you safe, to ready your heart for my love. Prepare me oh God, form me and mold me into the man my Ruth needs. Fill my spirit with Your Presence so I will know when I find her. At night I lay with tears in my eyes and longing in my heart just to have her embrace. Prepare my heart oh Lord prepare my soul. Help me to wait upon you my Lord for I know you prepare a bride for me. I know you are there waiting for me, praying for me, seeking me. Until that day I will wait for you my Ruth. Keeping my heart and body pure for you and your love. My prays go to PAPA for you that someday soon we will meet.

YOUR BOAZ. (It goes both ways)

I pray,

Lord I lift up all the men and women who are seeking you for their Godly mate. Lord may they hear your voice alone concerning the matter. May you prepare their hearts to receive the fullness of a love only you can bring. May you heal them of all their wounds from past relationships so they will forget the former things and behold the new thing you are doing in their lives. May they be a living testimony of your goodness in the land of the living. Lord, quiet them and comfort them with your love until the appointed time. May you exceed their expectations and give them the desires of their hearts, meeting every need and every preference so they know that every good and perfect gift comes from the Father above. Turn their mourning into gladness, their tears of sorrow into oil of joy, annoint their heads Beloved. Bless them and keep them in all your ways forevermore, in Jesus mighty name, AMEN! <3 Praying many of you will receive your Christmas miracles this season. <3

The truth is that life can be very difficult at times. There can be a lot of pressure to keep it all together, to be smart and beautiful, to be so good and perfect. But sometimes we don't have it together at all. Sometimes we make mistakes. Sometimes we don't feel good or look our best. Sometimes things are not good at all, and we feel miserable, lonely or depressed. If you have lost your way and feel down, that feeling belongs to you. If you feel miserable — it's yours, and no one should take it away from you. It's important to feel your feelings. Maybe things honestly aren't very good at all right now. Maybe you have good reasons to be depressed, and the last thing you need is someone telling you to be happy. But one thing you do need, is at least the respect from others to let you sit with your valid feelings. You don't always need a cheerleader, but just someone to simply be a friend by acknowledging where you actually are, and how you really feel. Real problems can't be fixed with a motivational poster, a cute quote or a pat on the back. When you are in your pain, it does not matter how intrinsically special you are, or how beautiful life is, or how precious each moment is — if you don't accept and respect your suffering, it isn't going anywhere. Submit to your pain; don't suppress your pain. If you can sit with your pain, listen to your pain and respect your pain — in time you will move through your pain.

I hope you fall in love with someone who always calls you back and never lets you fall asleep making you feel unwanted. I hope you fall in love with someone who holds your hand during the scary parts of horror movies and burns cookies with you while you’re both busy dancing around the kitchen. I hope you fall in love with someone who tickles you and makes you smile on hard days and on easy ones. But beyond all that I hope you fall in love with someone who will never leave you behind and who will never take you for granted. Someone who will stand by you when you’re right and stand by you when you’re wrong. Someone who has seen you at your worst and loves you still. I hope you fall in love with someone who kisses you in the rain and hugs you when you’re cold and wouldn’t have it any other way.

You are still the person someone is praying for one day. Being single is not a curse. It's way better keeping to yourself and being happy than being with someone who doesn't treasure and value you at all. Those are the worst relationships, when you keep giving and giving and giving and nothing changes in the other person's attitude towards you. They make you feel like nothing you do will ever be enough. They make you feel alone and worthless. They might even take it a step further and show other people more love and attention than they do with you. Those kind of people are not the ones meant to love you. But someone who has been praying and waiting for you, will make everything that has to do with love a lot more easier. They won't treat you like you are not important. They won't put another person's smile above yours. They won't make it such a struggle for you two to be happy. They will complement your needs and your effort the same way that you do with them. That's your teammate. That's your life partner.

Do you believe in God??

"I believe in the moon, the stars. It's that feeling that I'm part of something so much bigger than myself that I will never, ever begin to understand. It's something I can't control, no matter how hard I try." But if you can tell me where all this beauty comes from,then I will stop saying my prayers before bedtime..

Who to blame for the masks that people wear? 

Society that defines how people are supposed to act even if it’s all a huge pretense; a mock show that put in front of people, so that people would pat them on the back, and not talk badly about them .Or is it the spouses, who wake up every morning and wipe the tears from their eyes, smiling to the world, telling everybody that everything is all right? Or is it people it selves, to blame them selves for not having the strength to show others who they truly are in case they are afraid of ridicule?The masks that people wear are real. The existence of these masks can be seen in the fake laugh that explodes from a person who tries to look good in front of his superior. It’s in the girl who goes out of her way to look thin just because that’s how society will accept her, even when she knows she would rather be devouring that haagen-Dazs ice cream every night. It’s in the husband and wife who scream at each other every night but when they appear in front of others, they act all sweet to each other.It’s in the hundreds of people who when their hearts are breaking and they’re asked, “How are you?” They answer,” i am Fine.” As if there’s a new universal definition for fine that says, ‘a state of total misery…’??“The worst lies are the lies people tell them selves. They live in denial of what they do, even what they think. Some do this because they afraid. They fear they may will not find love, and when they find it they fear they’ll lose it. They fear that if they do not have love they will be unhappy.”So when you wake up tomorrow morning, ask yourself, are you going to meet the world wearing the mask of a person you are not?If you are now telling yourself that you’re not wearing a mask right now, ask yourself this question, could it be that maybe, the mask is so stuck to who you think you are that you don’t even know it’s even there?.....??

Don't forget...."RAW" is where the beauty hides...
