Hola Mi Amor!

Hola Mi Amor!

Today I was inspired to write this poem. It all started with creating pimp as an acronym of who I am vs. how far I’ve come. I had absolutely no idea that I would end up intertwining so many song titles and lyrics throughout this creative experience. Either way after over 3 hours collectively this evening- here she is!

PIMP

by Jana M. Gamble

February 20, 2025

There’s a whole other kind of life on this earth that I always wanted but never knew

To be a wife, with a house full of kids and a picket fence too

At least a life lived out loud so holy and true

But I never would’ve made it here had I not met You

When they say “it’s hard out here for a pimp,” that side of the coin I gratefully don’t have experience with, but what I do know is that without my Master PIMP’n ain’t easy is an understatement. 

It seemed easier when I could ride around saying “all I need in this life of sin, is me and my boyfriend.” By easier I absolutely mean less conviction. Life would still be life’n back then, as I Creep like TLC out at hours now I wouldn’t dare. In the club rep’n Nelly singing “it’s getting hot in here so take off all your clothes”- then leave at close and would. 

Dirty Dancing with all eyes on me ‘cause it’s ladies night so we’re leaving them begging for more. It’s all good though I‘d go home to my love shack, bang bang- on the door. The power trip had our neighbors yelling “what’s going on?”

So imagine me thinking a change is gonna come as I fight the power for respect. I packed his bags to the left to the left. After years of sexual healing waking up one day thinking it was all a dream. How could I be crazy in love again?! 

So many voices in my head. You better lose yourself- you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow. But I can’t get no satisfaction, you already know. And I hear an old familiar voice softly singing until you’re in my arms again, remember me and let it go, let it go this ain’t your life anymore. 

Like Mya I was moving on tired of livin’ la vida loca. I decided I don’t want no scrubs as I saw healthy couples and said I want it that way! But when I’d get so lonely and didn’t want just anybody on me- you oughta know that behind a locked door I was foolish and I got a pocket full of sunshine with images of a man that was not mine, but it was just my imagination. So that’s fine right?

SOS please someone help me! I need faith! This was the end of the road and the best of my hard fought hallelujah began. I realized that He wants it all. The blessing is that You never gave up on me. You are constant! This Passionately Inquisitive Marriage-Minded Package was finally on a full walk with Jesus. It’s all because of mercy that I believe. Unashamed I knew that I can’t lose because He is a miracle worker! 

It’s because somebody prayed that I’m still here. I am holy forever because He calls me holy. I trust in God, my savior the one that can never fail. He will never fail. I was down but now I’m up. I’m in love with King Jesus and there’s nobody greater, nobody greater than You God! 

Thank You for being a friend. Because of You I will never be the same. This I believe that You will break every chain and make all things new. God is the antidote! Miracle after miracle add it up. Lord I’m empty without You. You’re worthy. It’s we against the world. Thank You for teaching me that love don’t love like that. God is good all the time. If he ain’t then you lying. 

I’m running with God and giving Him all my love. I’ll never get used to this. This is the life I chose. I am free. Great are You Lord! Nothing can hold me back. You don’t know the cost, but as I stand still and standing on Your promises I know there’s nothing like Your presence Lord. It’s meaningless without You. This is love. I know I’m gonna be alright as I wait on him. To God be the glory!

I pray you enjoyed this rollercoaster of poetic burpees and have some takeaways that are encouraging to you.

Choose God’s best for you daily. Have a blessed day- On Purpose!

Love & Blessings,

Jana M. Gamble
