With Quincy Phillips

Recollecting my moments on a moving train to the woods I was still struck by how my evening ended on Friday 13th October. It began with me eating a cheeseburger and fries and ended with having a conversation with a musician from Roy Hargrove’s Quintet whilst he ate his cheeseburger and fries….a little intrusive? (I’mContinueContinue reading “With Quincy Phillips”

Light…

The day the devil forgot his armour he met a warrior, She was clothed in righteousness and cleansed by the blood of the lamb She bore the whole armour, helmet, sword, breastplate, belt, sandals The demon appeared on a train, eyes pierced and transfixed on her He tried to overthrow her stand He presented his cards ofContinueContinue reading “Light…”

The drunk evangelist…

On the central line on the way home from Westfield shopping centre I encountered a man clutching a can of Stella Artois preaching about Jesus. It wasn’t how he had almost stumbled and lost his balance on the way to his seat which was next to mine (ironically I was praying he wouldn’t sit there). ItContinueContinue reading “The drunk evangelist…”

It’s funny how you think that no one will ever understand what you have been through until one day a friend hears your story and says “heard it all before”. All this time you thought that your problem was unfix-able,ContinueContinue reading “Without him i found Him….”

To kill an ambitionite….

I HAD A DREAM, i killed a dream in a cloud of doubt and resentment It left a bitterness in my eyes as i looked to the hills and cried…LORD please help me Veins contracting retracting, a spurge, a spark, i see light and then dark Temperature rise and then hark as i hear theContinueContinue reading “To kill an ambitionite….”

Safety in the zone…..

We all have that place that we can all escape to. Where everything makes sense and you’re always right even when you know you’re wrong. A perfect home for a person who is contempt with what they have and would not change it. We house all our secrets, thoughts, personalities……The safe place that is calledContinueContinue reading “Safety in the zone…..”

Back from the wilderness…

Spent a few days in the wilderness in my mind Thought it was true experience but all i heard were lies by the enemy Corrupting the one true voice that directs me..to life Heard but not seen, the words of angels beam me to reality, Through His words I can see clearly that I haveContinueContinue reading “Back from the wilderness…”

The littlest things…..

Let me just be real for a minute. Not everything is great but I am thankful for the short times I have to breathe. Being an assistant is never easy; you are just high demand all the time so blood pressure is just elevated a little bit. I still have days when I go homeContinueContinue reading “The littlest things…..”
