Either Neither Nor

 She was sitting at the McDonald's at 6am

that Saturday Morning, 

Just journaling away with Holy Spirit 

as per usual, 

when all of a sudden, 

the tall loud guy from 

the school of life appeared out of nowhere!

He asked her what she was doing and she replied 

very directly and very honestly her truth. 

The tall black dude began questioning her 

beliefs. 

She almost fell for it, 

by starting to explain herself. 

As soon as she realized he had his own beliefs

and was trying to change hers, 

she kindly responded to him that 

even though they had different beliefs, 

she respected his but was sticking with hers and 

she tried to end the conversation right then and there.

Little did she know, 

she had opened a huge can of worms 

when she decided to even engage in such religious talk. 

She had to tell him three times

to please leave her alone. 

And that she was not interested in reading 

the bible verses he was trying to 

show her. 

She finally threatened to call the police 

if he didn't leave her alone and he just looked at her

and gave her the evil eye. 

Then he walked off. 

Little did he know, 

she had already engaged Holy Spirit and 

Archangel Michael earlier as they were talking.

He couldn't sit still after that and not long 

after he walked off, 

she saw him outside talking with police. 

Clearly someone is the restaurant

already called them for her. 

What a lesson to encounter first thing

in the morning, but she made it through. 

Holy Spirit was there with her. 

Helping her stand her ground. 

Helping her not back down this time

from what she believed. 

There was going to be no more 

people pleasing

to the detriment of her own peace

and joy. 

She learned that 

this is exactly what life was about. 

Loving herself first 

and foremost,

in order to share that love with others.

As she went about the rest of her morning, 

she realized something very interesting. 

When he tried to point out in the bible;

Romans 11:22

The first thing that occurred to her was how in

Mythology stories, it was always either  

the Romans or the Greeks 

that always had battles and wars

and fights to prove who was more superior. 

More times than most, 

it almost always began because of 

some form of 

JEALOUSY!

As she looked back on the events 

from early that morning, 

she had saw herself sitting at the McDonalds

enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee

meanwhile also enjoying her peaceful conversation

with Holy Spirit in a creative way, 

through journaling. 

Then along comes Mr. Preacher man

and the first thing he says to her is,

"I saw you riding your bicycle."

Boom!

Enter the Insecurity Spirit!

She saw it clear as day!

He couldn't stand her Peace and Joy.

No wonder as she was trying to ignore him 

by continuing to journal with Holy Spirit,

Holy Spirit kept telling her, 

"Do Not Engage!"

Because that is exactly what Mr. Preacher man was after.

Her peace and Joy.

What a true miracle! 

She was ever so grateful for Holy Spirit!
