Life is a 'Come As You Are' Invitation Only Party
Life is a 'Come As You Are' Invitation Only Party
“Life is an ‘Invitation Only
Come as You Are’ Party
No need to R.S.V.P.,
So, you best get excited
‘Cause you’ve been invited
For what you get in Life is exactly
What You See!”
B.Y.O.J. - Bring Your Own Joy!
By Nikki Williams
NO NEED TO R.S.V.P FOR WHAT YOU GET IN LIFE IS WHAT YOU DARE TO SEE!
NO NEED TO R.S.V.P FOR WHAT YOU GET IN LIFE IS WHAT YOU DARE TO SEE!
Okay Joy, You Win!
I gladly concede - I surrender
Alright, let me begin …
Let me see if I can recite what I remember
The “Let Go, Let God” Prayerful Affirmation
Written for those who believe that it is only by their determination
And by the strength of their own Stubborn Force and Unguided Will
That the best Outcome happens. “Peace, the Inner Voice of the Still
Speak to me in Ways that I hear, grasp, and understand/
Quiet the cacophony inside my confused heart. Take my hand
Lead me to green pastures found on Higher Ground
Where the Spirit of Tranquility longs to set me free
‘Give In, Give Up, Give All’, are the three
things that Spirit asks of me.”/
And as soon as I released
My worries, all confusion ceased/
The wind danced up my hands; the water’s edge rose up into the sweet summer air -
Thank you Joy, for your quiet watch; in the still of surrender, I will always find you waiting there.
- Nikki Williams
