Struggle
Well it has been awhile my fellow bloggers but I am back. The reason I am back is because of my struggle. The struggle we all face. Life is full of chances to mess up and opportunities to forget what were fighting for. I come with news and three words that will remind it is worth it. The message is DON’T GIVE UP.
DON’T- Don’t let negativity or setback stop you from your goal. It is simple. If your negative Well guess what you will produce negative fruits. I was keeping my self down lately by letting my minor problems gather and grow into a big and then I let my problem sit and tear me up. It took a while but I learned to move on. This is a message I hold true to my heart move on. We can not stay in a slump so asset your problem and truly think about what is the root and cut it out. Yes in life you make bad choices but the next one you make might just change the world.
GIVE- giving is a funny subject in struggle but why should I give anything I am the one hurt right, well by giving or sharing your struggle with a friend you can be helping them and also helping yourself giving your self and outlet for communication. Your struggle is your pain to bear but one that shouldn’t be expect for you to carry all alone. If you stay alone or don’t give a chance to receive help then how do you expect to move on and heal!UP- The last thing and truly most important is to look UP. I believe in Jesus not only because he is the messiah but also because he is my healer and guide. In his life on this earth Jesus was put in so many struggles that he had to deal with time where he couldn’t trust his friends or didn’t really have someone to speak but God was always listening and through out jesus’s life God was ever present up to the point where Jesus and God pronounced as one for the world to see his scares and payment for our transgression. Even Jesus in his great pain looked up. You need to look up as well if you just focus on you struggle you never get a chance to look up. But the moment you let that hope build up in you is when you can just look up and find his grace in your life but better yet when you conquer the struggle

Wonder Woman
Well I came back home this weekend! I didn’t party, didn’t really go out just stayed home and saw how amazing my mother is again and again! In the recent months her health hasn’t been there, Not even close to what I know her to have. She never got slowed down by the doubter, haters, criticizers. She never got slowed down by the hard times, the countless mistakes her boys made. She never got slowed down by the tragedy and adversity her life has blessed her with! She truly has been my hero! I can’t even fathom the idea of losing her, but it has become a cold reality! This past weekend I seen how short our time together can really be! It is crazy this is all I know. I mean she gave the gift of passion for God, life, joy and happiness. I truly feel broken. What do you do when your superhero is coming to there end! Well you only truly do one thing stop holding back your love from that person! I will shower my mother with love while she is here. I will make memories that will always be in my heart. I will praise and thank my God for everything because I know he prepares a spot in his grace for her. I know as man we ain’t suppose to cry but I truly feel that part of me might just get ripped away sooner then I think! But the things is that with my wonder woman I will always have memories that no matter what will remain, so mom as scary as it has been getting I will find peace in this journey. If you were to depart and finally rest in his grace! I love you mom forever

Settling
We all have these moments in life where we reflect on our lives. We can all come to the agreement that at one point in our lives we have realized in a certain moment, that life just got real. I recently had one of these moments and life gave me choices. I could have stayed sad about the issue. I could have given up and just settled and gone along for the ride. Then God showed me what I had to do. I couldn’t settle. He didn’t want me to settle into my addiction of life. He didn’t want to give up!. He stirred something in me that motivated me. In life we settle far to often. The things is that we were created to just settle in the lives we live. God doesn’t want us to become comfortable here on earth because we belong in heaven! Think about it are you settling right now in life. Are you just doing enough in work and school to get by? Are you in a relationship that is hurting because your scared of being alone? Are you making choice in your life that benefitting you for a moment but not the long run! Now I am not saying put your life on hold and just join the Navy lol! What I am saying is that in your life a line has to be drawn when are you gonna make the choice that might just unsettle you but in doing so get you closer to achieving your dream and what God wants from you! It is not the end if you fall it is only the end when you give in and settle. I could never come to just settling in life and just taking what the world wants of me. So I ask you take moment realize where your at in life and then ask your self am I settling or going after something greater

Even the apostles we afraid
Jesus has come & he has risen! But I wonder how the apostles felt, what were they thinking? In the word it states they ran when Jesus was captured. When Jesus was getting beaten and crucified only John was present from them. Even in his burial they weren’t present! Woow they all turned on him because of fear but God still had his victory. In his death man thought they had the last word on the life of Christ then he rose again but in rising he also lifted all his people. New disciples were chosen and all the apostles lived there lives going and growing closer to God’s love to the point that all but John were killed due to there belief in his promised life ever lasting. The reason this important on Easter is because no matter what goes on in your life as a disciple God brings you to new heights. It is never to late to say yes to Jesus so take today as a chance to turn to God and say I give it all up to you! Because in you even the blind, lost and death have no fear!

He has the Key!
I was sitting down realizing where my life is going and has been!. I can’t help it but tear up to be honest! How much I don’t deserve what God has done for me. How grateful I am. I can stand and says future looks great not because what I did but what God has done for me! I am truly in love with his grace for my God is just that amazing! Is there any else I can really say? So here I am to worship, here I am to bow down, here I am to say that your my God! You are my heart my everything! Oh how I love you for I will never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross!

Irresistible Grace
This weekend was amazing for me! I did what I like to do and that was party! I did it all night Friday and all night Saturday and God showed his presence everywhere I went it was truly amazing! . One of night played out in a fashion that only God could think of. A friend of mine invited me to a party and in this party I was gonna meet her boyfriend for the first time! :D it was truly exciting because I saw her like a lil sister and for me being the big bro I was I know it meant alot to her to hear my approval! Lol right but the story goes on I arrived to the party pretty late due to the fact I was at a previous get together and the mta sucks! As soon as I walk in I looked around and saw guy probably 5’11 and easily 220 oh yea and he was Brolic lol so I eagerly went to say hi to everyone else lol then I saw my friend she looked very beautiful all grown up she recently turned 20, we embraced like a bro and sister and I could feel the guys eye burn a hole in my back! Guess who was the boyfriend! -_- lol well I was introduced to the boyfriend. I guess my friend told him who I was because he greeted me with a straight face followed by “I guess you are always late” lol that was fun so then it hit me. He must think I am like his competition or something!. So I did what I know I called on the holy spirit. I asked God to give me the words to ease his spirit and let him know I was a friend!. We spoke about sports, jobs, movies even made jokes about our facial hair! I still saw he was bothered by me even though he was becoming more welcoming! I wondered why God didn’t speak through me where was he! Then out of no where the guy tells me “I think my girl friend was trying to make me jealous with you.” then the lord took over. I told how he was so wrong and how she new my outlook on love how it wasn’t an emotion but that it was constant as God! I explained to him that respect and honesty also flowed with love! Then out of my surprise he stopped me and preached to me! He told me that i had irresistible grace! My face looked dumbfounded I had No idea what he was telling me! But he went further into his explanation!. He broke it down like this grace is accepting Gods will in your life and letting him work through while he gives you the grace or peace of mind it is all gonna be all rite. Then there is irresistible grace that no matter what you do God will always pull you to him and the grace he gives in those moment is irresistible so your heart is compelled to do his will!. He told me he saw it in me at that moment. That even though he thought I was a threat God willed me to let him receive the truth that I was his friend not enemy. The reason I share this story is because our lord shared his passion for us with us! He died and showered the world with that irresistible grace! He showed us no matter how painful it got no matter how dim it was his grace would still empower you to share that love! And succeed in his victory. That not even the enemy can stop God’s love and grace from being truly irresistible in our lives, so this week enjoy his grace! It is quite irresistible.

Tecumseh
“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”
~ Chief Tecumseh
