):EMOTIONS:(

We all have them

sometimes they attack

other times they stray

emotions,feeling,love,peace.

they are all the same.

with every emotion that is built up,

there is a room for it.

many people don't realize that.

when we shut one off, it goes to another area.

we can't feel it, we don't realize it.

some days we feel so down and out, the next second you're laughing.

Sometimes its not even funny but that's how emotions work.

we even find ourselves heart-broken and the next moment furious,often times for no reason.

Its just that some rooms are closer to one another than others.

your mind wont allow you to become so overly exerted that every emotion is in the same place.

We sometimes have people in our lives that help us spread those emotions

positively, and negatively. And then at other times we allow the wrong ones to help. Ultimately its up to us who we let in our "house"

when we began to have too many emotions in one room ,

its time to relocate those emotions.

RELAX!!

Sometimes we get so caught up with the task at hand and don't realize that we are able to do whatever we want!!! We need to realize that we are capable of handling every situation and go through ever test/trial. When we get nervous and all antsy, we tend to loose control of situations. In some instances we tel ourselves, "This is too much, I can take it anymore!"...But When we are faces with the troubles and cares of life, we should just RREELLAAAXX!!!!... I know its easier said than done but failure is not an option. And if You do fail, do let it be because you didn't try.

I just started my job this week at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. One part of the job is to take a tour of the museum and to express how we felt about a particular exhibit. There is an exhibits called " Power of Children". This exhibit is centered around Anne Frank, Ruby Bridges, and Ryan White. The exhibit has different displays about the children's' lives and the different obstacles they went through and how it applies to us today and maybe even changed someones life. The next day a 57 year old Caucasian co-worker felt it was appropriate to tell me that she was inspired by the 'Power of Children' exhibit and was very touching to her, but specifically the Ruby Bridges display. At this point I wasn't saying anything because I wasn't sure where this conversation was going. She goes on to say "I knew people who had colored maids"....."colored children were treated badly"....."My children weren't taught to say 'nigger'" .....At this point I felt like she was using that whole conversation to say those words. Whether she was or not, it had to be one of the most uncomfortable conversations I've had in my life. I don't understand how she could even feel OK about using those words in the same point to banish then. How can a person relate their positive feelings with a link to a negative adjective?

If not for you, then for someone else..

Sometimes we wonder why we go through the things that we do, why we have these odd experiences...I too wonder, like all the time... "If I never had a problem, how would i know that God can solve them" - Andre Crouch. Sometimes we experience things so that another person doesn't have to. How do we know that our whole purpose of living, is for someone else?...how do we know that what we do on a day to day basis is all centered around helping someone else.. I think about how sometimes it takes me so long to get dressed.. like i spend 2-3 hours finding a t-shirt, only to hear the phone ring as I'm on the way out the door....A friend in need "I'm stranded"...."help me".. who would've thought those last few hours, minutes, seconds were designed, were constructed in a way that i could help someone else as i'm ALSO helping myself (finding a shirt)...we never know..just a small thought to keep in mind.. Everything happens for a reason..

Scripted Improv

Tears fall beneath our pain

But bring joy like after the rain

Oh how we hate to let the feelings flow and

ashamed to rejoice the afterglow it shows

we hate to unmask those actors we hire

only to become what everyone else most desires.

Who do we inspire?

Do we live our days as though we are alone?

Or do we thrash our egotism and allow others our throne?

Can we really believe that we are more important?

or do we stop and realize we have been appointed.

We have a job to do, a banner to hold,

our faith we renew, the evil we scold.
