Note To Self- Trust The Mofo Process (TTMP)

Trust The Process




Growing up, I've always heard folks amongst me say faith & fear/worry can't occupy the same space as well as worry or fear is the opposite of faith and that if you trust & have faith in God then there's no need to be worried. Now, while I agree that faith should diminish fear I've also learned that the true opposition to faith is in fact SIGHT.  I've gotten this lesson first hand through experimenting with "fortune telling". I found that even after "reading the signs"& coming to ones own interpretation or even receiving great news of things to come that I still couldn't find the peace of mind that my soul yearned to get me through the here & now and all the ups and downs it brings. After a series of lessons....& readings Allah revealed to me through a message delivered by Pastor Phil Munsey titled "Are We There Yet". See, Faith is much deeper than believing & knowing of the magnificence and brilliance of the most high or his promise of the rainbow at the end of the Storm. Faith actually permits you to just trust the process and diminishes the reliance/dependency of that rainbow releasing all attachments because you are certain that a rainbow is what follows rain (hence RAINbow), it's just a matter of weathering the storm. And that's when faith sustains you during that storm by allowing  you to not only dance but perhaps you have to cry, hide, fight & sometimes even just be still in the storm. Faith gives you that permission to deal with & get through the storm no matter how fierce it may be because you have firm belief that Allah is sufficient come rain or come shine.  Faith allows you to trust the process  of becoming what the divine creator intended you to be because after all it's the  process that molds you into what & who you're created to be. And that message has been coming to me all week through my boxing trainer, colleagues, coworkers, boxing, carpooling, living and of course learning. So, here's a firm yet friendly reminder  in the words of a very wise woman/soul I've been blessed to cross paths with, "just trust the muthaf$&@*%g process." And always, have faith.


"Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

 -Matthew 17:20

    Faith is merely TRUST. Where there is TRUST, we will find FAITH. Where there is FAITH, we will find TRUST. To trust, without evidence of "Trustworthiness", may or may not serve you well. This kind of trust without evidence or proof of "Trustworthiness" is called, "Blind Trust" or a more familiar term, "Blind Faith".

    This type of trust/faith is indeed "blind" because it has not had the chance to prove itself faithful or trustworthy. Thus, where there is NO proof or evidence, there is DOUBT. And where there is DOUBT, there is FEAR (whether a little or a lot).

    To put your FAITH in God, is to put your TRUST in God. If you do NOT have evidence or proof of God's "Trustworthiness" or "Loyalty" to what has been called, "His Word", then the FAITH / TRUST you place in Him is "Blind" because YOU do not KNOW. And because you do NOT know, that produces in you DOUBT. And again, where there is DOUBT, there is FEAR.

    Trust and Faith grows stronger as we gain firsthand experiences. But, that initial Trust / Faith is based upon "Hear-say" evidence. For example, you may have Faith / Trust in Allah because your parents in whom you believe and trust, told you Allah is Trustworthy. Now, this may or may not help diminish the DOUBT and FEAR, but it does enable us move forward in Faith / Trust.

    Everything...including knowledge is "hear-say" evidence or proof, until you experience it, and know it, firsthand. Thus, the only way to develop True Faith, where there is NO DOUBT and NO FEAR, is to keep having "firsthand" experiences, that you may know for YOUR SELF.

    Excellent blog, I truly enjoyed it! Keep Blogging Girl! :-)

    Peace & Blessing Be Unto You

Word is Bond

Word Is Bond “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God” (John1:1 )…..if I’m not mistaken I believe scripture is stating that God’s Word is his bond or even that he and all any of us ever truly have is his word, which is sufficient. How many times have you uttered or heard the phrases, “word is bond” or “all I have is my word”? I’m assuming quite enough   but I don’t think we really, fully grasp the spiritual magnitude those phrases holds. At least I know I didn’t up until I found myself back at that messy part of this healing journey, the “pain pit stop”! Where I’m experiencing a new cycle of pain and for a moment was temporarily tempted to “stop & fold at hurt” ( Blog #5, “When It Hurts-It Hurts”) simply because, well honestly, I was hurting. But then I recalled during a previous cycle of pain when I received one of the simplest yet most profound advice to simply “follow my words”. After all, my word is my bond right? See...

Peace by Piece

Peace By Piece Oftentimes when we’re looking for peace (of mind) we go on a hunt. We search through music, film, literature, speeches/lectures, therapy, interpersonal stimulating discussions & even prayer all in attempts to find a word which will bring us peace (of mind). But as we progress to yearn for true inner peace on the highest level those things seem to only scratch the surface providing the illusion of temporary peace that lasts only for as long as your program of choice. But I’ve come to find that true peace of mind is obtained piece by piece through moments of peace and quiet(ness). Only when I quiet my mind am I able to experience true peace regardless of how fleeting that moment may be/appear to be, it is real, which means in reality it is eternal, I simply have to remember to remain tuned into it. See, because as we all know oftentimes our own mind can be our worst and a lot of the times our only real enemy we have right? Or at least the only enemy w...
