LENT

Wednesday marked the beginning of 40 days of temptation and while I couldn't claim to have any likeness to the great overcomer, I believe that every one of us has a chance to be saved by his father. We all through God's help can say with confidence "Get thee behind me Satan".

Ash Wednesday caught me engrossed in thought about me...my lack of patience and my seeming endless intolerance for every thing around me. In true celebration of Christianity however I pondered what to give up for the season. In years gone by my first guess would have been "sex" but with very little of that taking place right now I figure I shouldn't push the envelop on that subject lest I forget the feel and taste of this sport. I chose therefore the lesser evil....taking a break from all my distractions. I prayed on it and hoped that these 4o days would pass like many before, unnoticed, unspectacular...very run of the mill. I should've known better.

Sometimes its difficult for me to not think that there is a place reserved in heaven for me should I decide to surrender to the Lord fully, cause no sooner I had made this resolution did I recall that I by simply wanting to be better, would be bombarded by serpentine plots to steal my blessing. This time was no different.

In the weeks past I have been a good enough girl, I think. I have played with some buddies but only with words nothing physical. I have also been very clear on the fact that I am playing so my bredrens ought not to have construed any depth from my behaviour. Of late therefore I have found myself longing for experienced hands to rock my body....so I have been focusing on Mr. ATL. No sooner did I have a in mind to book a ticket to New York to exorcise my demons, did First Love decide to come to visit and demand to see me. I did the math and it seemed safe to agree to meet for a drink in his two day stint cause I would have flown out and in by the time he touched down. In the mix also was a planned night of love making with the Body Builder. All was well with the world:)

I should have known that my full social calendar mingled with a promise to the Lord would have resulted in even more stress. I did not expect however:

  • That Mr. ATL would piss me off on a point of cash and possessiveness
  • That First Love would have had a death in his family which would require him to be here sooner rather than later
  • That the Body Builder would become a p---yhole overnight
  • And the coup de grace...the Player would call to see if I was now well enough to play

Mi salt.

If this were someone else's life I would be amused slightly, but as I am the one in the hot seat....I'm pissed.

The world was no longer right and as I am immature in my approach to these things usually, I decided to cut off my nose to spite my face....suh mi leggo all a dem. I have some regrets but I know that this was just the beginning, soon even Boogie will torment me and while I know I can dance around the rest, I pray for strength to overcome when he advances
