be the change you want to see in the world...

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.

my time machine?

if only this were possible,to go back in time.
but like the old saying goes,things happen for a reason!

my prayer for myself&the rest of the world

Dear heavenly father,
My every need,
My every thought
Your love confirms security.
You confirm serenity.
Lord,your amazing.
Heal this nation
heal this world
Mend the hearts of those who think they lost
Were not alone,
we have you to guide
What is their not to understand?
Lead us to that place of peace
The hope you've promised
Thank you for saving me
Now can we save ourselves?
Everyone on earth?
That's the challenge isn't it?
Or what is?
Maybe we should all take a minute to think..
But to think on his mercy and kindness
With all my heart Lord
Take it,mold me...
I give it all up

Amen.

your presense

obstacles

Dear readers,
So I've recently been going through what I call "obstacles"...regardless of my age,or stage in life it is common for most of us to continually have giants we face right?

Not giants as in the football team,Lol but problems and they can come in your Life and can come at you and very hard.

As I am going through these obstacles im also dealing with CHANGE!(thanks obama?) haha...just a little humor.

I've recently been reading a book called "HE MOTIONS" by . Rev.T.D JAKES...although the book is intended to be read by men...it has helped me view certain aspects and view life well how men do I can say...

As I've read and thought really our giants,are killed by right choices,and choices are something one must generally make alone.as the cliche saying goes,they can make you or break you.Many good people are the ones who deal with feeling carcerated at an early age.I too am a victim of that.

Some of us get caught up in those roles that society and culture dress us up in.Some become even uncomfortable with themselves dude to the fact they give into it.
But as the good Lord says we are his children and he created our image in him.We are each imbued with unique gifts, strengths, talents, and worth unlike anyone else.
In the book it mentions 5 steps that really have been helping me through these tough times.
Here they are:

1.Confront what is threatening you: Don't pretend that it will go away just because you don't think you can bear to face it.Don't be intimidated by it just because its bigger then you are.

2.Level what you've learned in the past against what you face in the future: Don't look to be rescued by others or to find a secret somewhere beyond your reach.Recall yesterdays trials and how you've slain giants from your past.

3.Don't let the spectators and speculators break your focus from the real villain: its tempting to look away from the eyes of your problem and seek advice,counsel,and solutions from others.There's always certainly a place for wisdom in your family,friends and colleagues.

4.Never assume a problem is dead just because its dazed: Make sure you kill your giant and don't simply leave him unconscious to return and sneak up on you another day.

5.Use the enemy's sword against him.Kill him with his own sword!: without stooping to unethical practices or immoral behavior,you should be willing to fight with the same intensity level as your opponent.Learn what you can from your enemy and apply it from your weakness.

And to close this thought,always,always persevere toward the vision of what you were made for.

God bless keep reading:)

praise is what i do..

its what i do...

throughout my life.and my adolesence i grew up in the church,surrounded by Gods peple you may say.At the young age of 9 years old,i revceived the holy spirit from God.It was as if i were facing God himself telling him how much i love him.At the age of 10 years old i started writing music.No one really knows i guess,its a hidden talent.I have notebooks full of songs that ive written since the tender age of ten,i never really thought of them as songs more of my greatfullness and gratitude towards God himself!...If you ask any of my family members they can probably most certainly inform you on what i do...IM ALWAYS WRITIIIIIING!whether its on a napkin,my sidekick,a gum wrapper im always writtttttiiiiiinnnngg!!

its become a problem:D

well anyways,

i believe my devotion to God is my writing and my voice(that he allowed me to have),

im NOT the the greatest singer in the world or even at my church,hence the fact that the church i congregate at (CC of NC) is overwhelmed with talent and God given ministry,

this 2009,i want to step out of my ordinary self,and give more to God.

For he gave me a ministry and confirmed it in my prayers.

i do not want to let him down,

pray for me and what God has in store for me...

God bless

random express poem no im not emo ok jaja

you were the cause,i soon healed

three words gently entered serenity

til my last engagement through your presense

words can hurt me so to speak

but the presence of the Lord is greater then your speech

stop,drop,roll?

something simple

take a look back,you still happy?enjoy life,set high standards

but please dont make a mochary of your well mannered(sarcasm displayed)self

theyve taught you well,the greater above gave you chances.

you still take them for granted.

i am me,you are you,lets just get along as the scriptures say

yeah with me!

no matter who or what come my way

i am here to stay

faithful,positive,real classy

cliche you may say

but its better then you will ever out it...

goodbyehence the problems between us.

the Lord has a plan and it shall be follwed.

true happiness is coming and so is our saviour.
