As long as the Lord is in my LIFE...I will have no fear...
We struggle 4 a PURPOSE that's GREATER than us....
He feels your pain.....
When the doors are closed in your face and your HATERS are thick...FAITH enough in Jesus is all you need to succeed...the POWER of PRAYER changes things. If you aren't careful, u can easily DOUBT your way out of a BLESSING! Sure we get an anxious at time when we feel our BREAKTHROUGH is near...but just because it doesn't happen when you think it's suppose to doesn't mean it won't happen..afterall God works on His time, not ours. This causes our faith to be tested. Often times we wonder what is taking God so long to work in our favor. The thing is, He is always working in our favor...it just all comes in time.
Alot of times we treat God like a towel rack...we leave Him hanging out to dry. We only call on Him when we find ourselves in a tough spot. When things are going our way, we have a tendency 2 take full credit like it was us who did it! Imagine if He treated us the same way that we sometimes treat Him...where would we really be? Sure, we are human and we fall short daily, but you gotta give thanks in advance for what's about to happen. At the same time, we sometimes put ourselves in situations that makes it a little harder for God to bless us the way that He wants to. If you aren't careful, some people can easily OVERSTAY their welcome in your life. Everything and everybody has a season in your life. Recognize when it's time to let certain people and things go...you can't expect to grow and u are still doing the same things you did in high school. If the people around you aren't striving to do BIGGER and BETTER, get rid of em, don't you become CRIPPLED by their lack of PROGRESS.
In this life, there is more than ONE type of robber...there's the type that rob others of their POSSESSIONS, there are robbers who steal DREAMS and WISHES, while other robbers steal JOY and HAPPINESS... point of this post..don't let this be you! the devil is as busy as ever..and whatever YOU let him take, he will destroy, watch the company that you keep, afterall, they might be the ones robbing you...stay PRAYERFUL, PEACEFUL, and JOYFUL, it all gets better. The devil is out to seek, kill, and destroy. Sometimes we fall off the "good" path in life, and that's fine for the simple fact that God still has His hands on us, even when we are at our worse...in all you do, remember that you CAN and WILL make it through your DARKEST night...Joy comes in the morning, and you are closer to YOUR Joy than what you know!

We struggle 4 a PURPOSE that's GREATER than us....

Gotta go THROUGH it 2 get to IT.....Nothing comes FREE....
There are no REAL shortcuts in life....
Getting nicked, bruised, and hurt is NECESSARY....
Stay grounded, focused, and prayerful....the rest will fall in place...
In the journey of life, it's safe to say that we all want to prosper and live the greatest life. The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family and You will have flats called Jobs. A lot of times, that's just the way life goes. As stated before, there are no shortcuts in life, we all must pay some type of dues. Sure, we don't want to go through certain things, but we have to in order to become stronger.
We often times wonder why we have to struggle, hurt, and even go broke before we get to where we want to be. The answer to that is pretty simple...If we didn't have to work for anything, we wouldn't know how to appreciate what we have in front of us. Sometimes it takes us struggling for years to final understand that we have to be grateful for the good and bad times in our lives. If we are grateful over a few things, He will make us ruler over many...just think about that.
As I end this blog, remember that hard work does pay off. Sure, it might take awhile to REAP your HARVEST...but when you do reap, just imagine how sweet it will be. Never forget the path that you had to travel to reach success, for success does not come over night...it takes time, dedication, and of course patience. Be safe, love one another, and of course support each other...all of those things are....PRICELESS!

Where was God on 9/11....10 years later...
A day in history that we will never forget....
Our FAITH was more than tested....
Where was God when all of this was going on??
We all remember that life changing day that was September 11, 2001. We all remember where we were when we saw the twin towers fall to the ground. I was a Sophomore at DeSoto High School, I was in English class, when the classroom phone started to ring. My teacher rushed to the TV, turns to channel 5 news...just after the second plane flew into the second world tower...chills ran through my body, in shock and confusion. Truly a day I will never I will never forget. Sure, all of our lives changed forever. But, after 10 years, how far have we really come? How much have we really changed as a country? Many have asked where was God when everything was going on. Sure, He is the creator and finisher of all things. But many people wonder why He would let something such as 9/11 take place.
One can only wonder why, but at the same time, one can ask, how much of this did we bring on ourselves? I'm I happy about what happened, of course not, it's the worst thing possible. This is more of a lesson learned. This shows that God is not to be played or tampered with. Sure, some of you might not agree or even like this blog, but it's just the way that I feel. When we start putting more FAITH in man instead of Him, that's a problem. It shouldn't take a tragic event such as this to bring our country together. Yes, we won't get along with everybody that we meet while we are here on Earth. As I'm sure, most of you can remember when America was considered the most powerful country in the world...but where are we now?
This blog is not to down my country, cause at the end of the day, I love my country...home of the brave! There are COUNTLESS heroes that died and others that survived. The beautiful thing is that God has given us a brighter day, something better to look forward to. In a land of selfishness, greed, hate, and misunderstanding...there is no better time for us to stand up together as ONE people and ONE unit, cause afterall, we are Americans, right? We must not only support our President, but our troops, and most importantly each other....try lending your your fellow man helping hand. As the bible says, How can you love God, but you don't show your brother any love? That's something to think about.
As I close, God bless the people that were in the towers, planes, and on the ground, God bless the people at the Pentagon, and of course our troops, our government, as well as any threat against the US of A...God is GREATER than any weapon formed against us! Remember that!
God Bless,

All NEW everything...gotta start from scratch sometimes...
Let the PAST be just that...the past....
Celebrate what you have overcame....
Clap for yourself.....
In this life, we constantly make mistakes, we constantly come up short of where we are probably suppose to be. In this life, we hurt people, and often we disobey God when it comes to doing His work. Even in the midst of us coming up short, we are blessed to get another chance to get it right. Granted, none of deserve another chance, but we serve a God that's that faithful to us. I am a firm believer that there comes a time in life where you have to start from scratch. Sometimes you have to start things over, or as we say, "Out with the OLD and in with the NEW."
When you start new, sometimes you have to cry, and there is nothing wrong with that. When you start new, you have to let some people in your life go. When you start new, there will be somethings that you will have to change about YOU. It's no point in changing your surrounds, but you still do the same things that you have always done. Besides, when you continue to do what you have always done...you will continue to get what you have always gotten. It doesn't matter who you are, your background, or what you have done, it's never to late to start over.
One thing that you have to understand, when you find your purpose in life, when you decide to do better in life, some of the people that you are the closet to will not understand what it is that you are about to go into. These are the people that you have to let go. Sure it cane be hard, but once it's done, you will realize the benefit of making the bigger moves in life that will last a life time, instead of wasting QUALITY time on UNQUALIFIED people. Everybody that is placed in your life can be there for a short season, long season, or a life-long season. It's on you to realize what is and whats now.
At the end of the day, always remember that it's never to late to start over and get it right. It doesn't matter if man accepts you are not, cause once God's hand is on your LIFE, you are god to go.
Celebrate what you have overcame....

Re-inventing yourself 4 God's purpose....We all go through seasons...
In life the one thing that's constant is CHANGE...
As you grow, sometimes you have to let certain ones go...
Waiting time is never wasted time....
In this life, we go through many seasons. Sometimes those seasons last for a short period of time or they can last a life time. Some season that we go through are bad while some seasons we go through are good. At the end of the day, it's life, and we all must live it FULLY. There comes a time where we have to take ourselves out of certain seasons when it comes to re-inventing ourselves for the better. Often times what we are birth into is not where God will keep us. We are not birth to be God's purpose, but we are born to be GREAT.
In order to make it in this life, you have to tap into your VALUE. We don't put enough on how valuable we really are. If you don't do what you are suppose to do, there will be somebody who doesn't receive what they are suppose to get. There is a season where you can be a person's friend, but there comes a time when you have to let them go in order for God to take you where He wants to take you.
If you are not everything that your suppose to be, then how do you figure that your everything that you are suppose to be??? During re-invention, God will add people to your life which means, you will have to let others go. There isn't anything wrong with that. If you aren't careful, those same old people can easily be your downfall....you can't take everybody with you as you grow into who you are suppose to be. It's not that the people that you leave behind are bad, it's just that a lot of them won't understand the journey that you are about to take....at the end of the day...be thankful for your SEASONS, afterall, you can't grow and expand if you haven't been through anything....

Looking 4 a NEW love? Get rid of the OLD baggage.....
You can't move FORWARD when your living in the PAST....
Sometimes you have to just walk away....
Never sell yourself short of what you truly want....
As I've heard more than a million times, most people seem to think that love is lost. Many seem to think that love is just one big game. In some cases, it is. You have to understand that love in the right hands can be the difference between your BREAKDOWN and your BREAKTHROUGH. Granted, there are many definitions of love, but at the end of the day, it all means the same thing. For myself, the definition of love is when you do something for another person, knowing that they can't pay you back. It's easy to do for others when you know that your getting something in return...but what about those people who don't have the money to pay you back??
When looking for a new love, the worse thing that you can do is to bring old baggage from your last relationship into a possible new relationship. When you do that, the new relationship is pretty much doomed. Never punish the NEXT man or woman for waht the LAST person did to you..afterall, thats why they are now the past. When dealing with love, it should indeed come easy and true. But, at the same time, you can't just link up with anybody. This is where a lot of us make our biggest mistake...we get involved with somebody who is unequally yoked mentally and spiritually which leads to the downfalls. In which a lot of times, we can see the "red flags" clearly, but we just choose not to address them. Sure, we have all made this mistake, including myself, which is why you live and learn.
In the end, NEVER sell yourself short of what you TRULY desire. Your love doesn't have to be for a person, it can be for a job that you want, it can be for your business to take off. But, in most cases, when we talk about love, it's about what we want in a mate. Always remember that love doesn't hurt. I f you find yourself in a hurtful situation, get as far away as possible. God has a bigger plan for you, and besides, He doesn't wish for us to be hurt. So next time you ask "God where are you", know He's closer than you think...

Old Skool Mama....Nuff said...
For the mamas and grandmothers who raised us....
For staying up late with us while we were sick.....
For praying for us day and night while we ran the streets...
This blog post is a bit different from what I normally do, but this must be done. A lot of times we don't give our mothers enough credit. A lot of times our mothers get the bad wrap for being overprotective of us or for being in our business as we grew up. I thank God daily for mama and the old skool mamas for the roles that they have played in my life.
Some of you might be wondering what an old skool mama is...well; an old skool mama is a mama that would take care of you and give you all that you need, but at the same time would tell you to go pick out your own switch and whoop you with it. An old skool mama is a mama that would stay up late with you and rub you down with Vick's vapor rub, but would also pop up at your school without you knowing just to see what you are doing in class.
There are many old skool mamas that aren't even our mothers...such as an aunt, or a cousin, or even a teacher that got us in line when we were heading down a path of destruction. It is important that we all have a mama. My situation was always a little different growing up because my mother is a little older. Funny thing is, a lot of my friends looked at my mother as their mother as well. She seemed to have all the answers to any questions that we asked. She showed all the TLC that you could ask for, but she was firm at the same time...
In the end, with out an old skool mama, a lot of would be in a world of trouble, and a lot of us wouldn't be living today. So when you see an old skool mama or even a younger mother, show them some love, thank them for what they have done. And if you see a child getting out of line...yea, go ahead and get em in line, otherwise, somebody else is...
Share your memories of your old skool mama...afterall, they are our backbones...
