"I Am Coming Out"

What's keeping you from stepping out into your dreams?  For many years I had one excuse after another why I couldn't do this or that.  I really didn't know what I wanted, but I knew that I wanted change.  I wanted something else for myself.  If I was to get honest I was controlled by so many elements in my environment from people, family, money, and my fears.  I wanted something different, but I would not be able to acquire it with the attitude or mindset that I had.  Education is of know value until you really understand that it's suppose to change you first which equips you to accomplish greater things.  Most of the time we take what we learn in school, or church, and begin to apply it to how others are living instead of using it as a instrument to change ourselves.  You begin to look at life differently as you change.   Your desires change; your wants change, and you realize that aspiring to change is the antidote to having a better life.  People will run to you instead of running from you.  My desire today is to come our from where I am to be all that I can be today.  God show me the way, and I must be willing to leave where I am to go where He shows me.  It's not easy everyday, but it is worth the stepping out into.  I AM COMING OUT OF THE PLACE THAT I AM TODAY INTO THE GREATER THAT GOD HAS FOR ME.

God Bless,

Letting Go Of The Old

I say to myself that I want to go wherever God is taking me.  It's much easier said than done.  If I am going to go where God is leading than I am going to have to let go of some things. (People, places, and things).  It has taken me some time to face this reality.  I have at some point on the surface, but deep withing God is calling me to look deeper within to face my greatest fears.  I can't run from me, and if I am going to elevate to new places I can only take me, and not the mess or toys that I so often want to cling onto.  The more that I evaluate my life I realize that it really comes down to a person journey between me and God.  God is capable of doing all things, and I believe the number one thing he wants me to do is change me.  If I change everything else in my life will change as a result, but so often I want other things to change first.  I truly comes down to a faith walk.  A walk that I must make with God and myself.  Other things will be added, but God wants me so close to Him that regardless of the things added or taken away that I am still capable of keeping my focus on Him.  This day I want to thank God for blessing me with opportunities of change, hope, love, and freedom.

"Get A Handle On Those Emotions"

Have you ever thought about how your emotions if not put in check can take you hostage?  As I continue to grow, and new opportunities come my way it's imperative that I take the time to develop myself on the inside as growth takes place on the outside.  New opportunities bring about added responsibility, and if we don't take the time to develop ourselves inwardly we risk blowing new opportunities that arise.  Over the years I have had my set of challenges, but what I am discovering is that with each one that I learn to work my way through it takes me higher.  I have actually failed at opportunities because I was unprepared for the responsibility, and my emotions got the best of me.  Now I can understand when we pray to God for certain things He delays the process to give us time to cultivate ourselves preparing us for the next place, venture, responsibility that we will face.  I would rather not have something if I am only going to lose it, and have God give it to me when I am ready.  You know what is even funnier to me at times in life God will bring you back to a place that you faltered, to give you an opportunity to take the test again.  It amazing when you finally get it, and the revelation comes.  I got it God - I finally got it.  I must tell you that I laugh at myself more now than I have ever done before especially when a circumstance, person, or thing gets the best of me, and I know that I lost that battle because I didn't surrender on the inside first.  I dust myself off, and say God okay teach me on the next round that I may grow in your grace.  What I have discovered is whenever we are unwilling to deal with your personal issues  in private they will embarrass you in public.  I am attending school full time, business/ministry is growing, and things in my life has changed significantly over the last year.  I am in deep waters my friends, and at times my emotions tell me I can't, but God tells me I got you my friend just keep striving.  You will be just fine.

"Change Adds Up Into Something.........?"

Last year I decided to start taking my daily change from broken dollar bills and put it into a jar.  I never thought about how much I had I just continued the process.  One day months later while I was cleaning I tried to move the jar, and realized that I had accumulated quit a bit of change.  The small amounts that I placed in the jar over a period of time had added up in a large amount.  What I have now decided to do is take this same principle and implement it into my life.  Each day, week, and moth I strive to change a small thing about myself.  I have committed to working on this one thing for a period of time until I have mastered this change.  I then move onto something else.  This very simple principle has taken my life in a new direction mentally, physically, spiritually, and from a  business perspective.  Change can be so subtle that it can go unnoticed, but continue advancing forward and before you know it will transform your life.  I get frustrated, and discouraged at times, but it doesn't deter me from continuing to preserver.  What I can honestly say is that this method is transforming my life.

In The Eye Of The Storm

 

 

Everything was closed today, and I was someone excited, but didn't want to miss the opportunity for additional income.  I decided that since a storm was going to be coming to town, I would take advantage of this and get into the eye of the storm, and use the time for reflection, down time, and working on myself, and projects.  It turned out to be quiet, and I must say very needed.  All storms are not bad when I take the advantage of getting in the eye.  The eye of the storm is the place where everything is calm.  It was calm in my life today even though a storm was taking place around me.  I used Hurrican Sandy to teach me a life lesson today.  All storms are not bad, but can hange the direction of your life, or give you an opportunity of reflection, and rest and relaxation.

"I Can Succeed"

Success is not something we obtain because we have an idea.  Success is not something we gain because we have money or social status.  Success first is obtained within a man, and then is displayed in how he lives.  How can we build anything without first building ourselves?  So many of look at success as having a business, or ministry - something tangible.  Never to realize that our influence on others is in how we live.  Think of it this way - the challenges of greatness or influence is never against an organization, ministry, or business, but against the management, organizational structure or individual itself.  So many of us fail to reach our goals because they only focus on building the business, but forget about building themselves.  The opportunities will come our way, and we want to be prepared when they do come.  Regardless of the size of the project we need to approach it with commitment, integrity, and a resolve that stands out.  It begins with our presentation, and that starts with our character.  We can be successful today, and it all begins with how we approach our goals by starting with the person within.

Managing Your Life

 

If we are not careful life has a strange way of taking over your life, and can began to overwhelm or run you.  I believe that the most challenging endeavor in life is learning how to manage the many task that are before us.  Work, children, projects, finances, and spiritual nourishment are all part of our responsibilities.  How do we manage all these different responsibilities without becoming consumed or overwhelmed?  Learning to prioritize what's most important is a great start.  I find my days are most successful when I address my spiritual man first thing in the morning.  When I feed this side of me it has a remarkable way of centering me in what's most important, and keeps me from becoming entangled in the areas which I really don't have any control.  Did I say control?  That's the place that I need to stay away from.  The only thing that I do have control over is myself, and how I react or respond to the things or situations around me.  The bible speaks of not worrying.  Worry divides the mind, and we find ourselves not trusting God, but allowing the things around us to steal our peace, and joy.  Daily reflection and introspection within myself keeps me centered in the things that are most important, and allows me to operate in a healthy manner.  The most definitive element of life resides in knowing when to let go of things that keeps us from spiritual growth and development.  The bottom line rests in trusting God, and understanding that life is a continual process of evaluation, and accepting whatever God shows us that needs to be changed in our lives.  Managing our lives is a perpetual reflection of self, and cleaning the areas of our lives that needs to be addressed. 

"The Power Of Love"

1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Love is a powerful force that I believe that I have disregarded for years. I think about what was the deciding factor in me changing my life. People loving me unconditionally. People demonstrating the same love that they experienced through knowing Jesus Christ. At one point in my life I was angry, resentful, and put myself above all else. I was miserable, but you would of never knew this because I masked it with work, exercise, women, and social events. Deep within I was longing for love. Not a love that the world offers, but a compassionate, and unconditional love that can only be found in Christ Jesus. I tried everything to find this love, but everything fell short. I met a group of men who began to demonstrate love to me inspite of my failures, and shortcomings. They encouraged me to study the bible with them, and something began to happen to me on the inside. I began to experience a love that was unexplainable. My life on the outside began to change because inwardly I began to let go of the anger, resentments, and bitterness. The love of Christ was like a consuming fire, and began a purification process within that continues. Love never fails we fail to love. The love of God can reach the deepest and darkest places of life and pull that individual out, and bring about a change. The power of love changes lives, restores marriages, and individuals, and gives hope to the hopeless. "THE POWER OF LOVE"

Discovery

I am learning new things each day. Life becomes one big learning experience. I learn new things through each experience that takes place in life. I call it discovery. My relationship with God can be summed up in one word DISCOVERY. I do not like when things are reveal about myself that I need to change, but at the same time it is a blessing because I have an opportunity to make changes to improve my life. Last week my thoughts took me places I did not like, but this week I have a opportunity to make adjustments to improve my week, and it starts with me looking inward. I use to say that life is challenging, and it is. I am learning that the biggest challenge in life is myself. Keeping It Real With Myself! I do not strive for quantity these days, but quality. The things (stuff) will come, and go, but if I can improve the quality of my life just maybe I can have an positive effect on someone else and help them along in this journey.

Finally Free Vacation

What a awesome time we are having on this vacation? On Saturday we went to the Holy Land Experience in Orlando, Florida, and we had an experience of a lifetime. We met wonderful people, and saw the power of God transforming the world. God Word is going into other countries and places and impacting people lifestyles, and cultures. This Sunday morning we are headed to Destiny Church with Pastor Zachery Tims. We are praying that God uses our ministry to minster to the world to express and share His awesome love with everyone. We are blessed to be experiencing this awesome love of God of our 6 anniversary in our marriage. One day of this vacation has blown me away, and I can't wait to see what else God has in store for my family, and ministry.
