What do you want?

Recently, I was asked a question: Refilwe, what do you want? Of course I answered and my oh my did I do so with depth and passion. Before I could doze off that night though, the question rose up again in my Spirit. Truth be told I found myself in a very inexplicable position. "I knew what I wanted, I'd stated it earlier Lord". Trust God to deny me sleep until I'd found and aligned myself to "HIS" will concerning what "I" want. Honestly, in my have determined to fall in love and cling to this amazingly profound God, the evidence of his aura in my life tends to not only freak me out, but awestruck me to total silence. This was one of those moments. I read a lot, I love it, I am sure I've said this before. I don't limit myself, I dive in the literacy pool and indulge on all genre's (does this word link to music only or can I put it here? *giggles*). I'd just finished reading a few pages of The Taxi Philosopher by my good brother Thabang Tlaka, *side note: I am doing an in-depth review  of this piece of heaven and I have to say, if I could, I would purchase it for all the readers I know, what a thought provocative journey man!!!*....

So I looked around my side table, there's my journal, diary, playbook, phone and walla, my T.D Jakes Woman Thou Art Loosed Bible. She smiles. "Lord I will tell you what I want, I can see you want to know what I want"

Romans right through to Philemon! I got it. I know what I want guys. I do. 

I WANT TO BE LIKE PAUL.

See, being like someone can be expansively described. This time around, its simply Sandra yearning to love, serve and worship God like Paul did, in my own sequence of events and in my own portion of the universe. I didn't read through all those books, I read the first sentence of each of the books. My Lord! Look honey, this God we serve is awesome. He not only gave us countless blueprints of this Christian walk but he teaches us, without fail on His part, how to follow and reap from these guidelines. Call me obsessed but how can I not love a master mind like our omnipotent Ancient of days. 

Paul, so transparently described and introduced in each of these books he authored, displays an array of the most admirable qualities. Something God had to teach us through this post by insisting on asking the question : "what do you want" 

See, we get this so profoundly in the descriptions I am going to place below. My prayer is that there is a higher level of revelation that comes to you through these. I trust God to send a lesson, a life challenging lesson for you and I. I know this is something that is going to linger in me for a long while and now I am challenged, and may you also be, to constantly assess: What do I want!
