Trust You

Trust you

I have been thinking about a lot of things for the last few weeks, trying to let a lot of things register in my life, and just about the people and the situations that surround me. And i just wanted to share some of those thoughts with you guys...
 
So i was listening to the song by Marvin Sapp today, never would have made it... Yeah i know its been a minute since anybody has heard that song but I was thinking and it really got to me. Very emotional song that it is. You know and i was thinking that have you ever noticed how when you talk to people or date someone, even family members, you fight you argue and the first thing they say is you wouldnt have made it this far without me, in some instances I made you who you are!!!! Wow yeah we have all had it happen to us, but on the contrary, you never made me who I was. Yeah you were a great help, but we give people too much power over our lives. And i realized that, we give people the power to think we are very dependent on them, doesn't have to be by our words, but even by our actions. Some people truly think that they have dictatorship over our lives. You know God has given us so much power over our own lives for us to make the right choices, for us to come to him. For it is He that has made us, and not we ourselves... So stop letting people think that you NEED them, You need no one but God himself..
 
In ever situation that you may face, it is God that will always be there, will never leave nor forsake you. Man I have watched myself go through a lot of trials and tribulations a lot of storms, and being stuck in a lot of caves that I never imagined or seen myself coming out of.. But God!!! That's all i can say, is God not anybody else nor myself.. a lot has happened to me recently and i thought it was all just me, and thanks be to God for the people that he has placed around me, those people that give you that understanding that in everything you do trust God, thanks to the ones that stuck that in my head over and over because i was doubting everything...
 
One of the most difficult things to do is find yourself in a storm and while in that storm it seems like everyone who you thought you could count on has well walked away and Sometimes it seems like even God Himself has forgotten about you. But in spite of it all you should still be able to lift your hands and say "Lord, I trust You"... Sometimes we have to realize that without struggle there is no growth. Without growth there is no elevation, Something my brother P.Shaw told me today why do you want it if its easy. If it comes that easy then give me something that is going to make me struggle to have it. Sometimes you find yourself in uncommon and uncomfortable situations, sometimes you have more bills than you have money, you lose your job, you lose your friends, you lose your family, all you can do is just Trust God and know that he knows his plans and exactly where he is going to take you...
 
Remember in all things at the end of the day God is still God...

Greatness

Greatness

So here I am to drop a new note for you... Just a little food for thought, hopefully you will enjoy..... 
 
Well there are a lot of people in the world, that are Great, and when i said Great, Great is defined as the person they are, their character, their life, the way they live, and their love for God.... Many people fail to realize how Great they actually are, and how Great God has made them to be..... I listened to my pastor say that "when there is conflict within ourselves, our greatest debate comes down to Who God says we are!! What God says we can have!!! What God says we can do!! and What we are actually willing to do" Joshua 17:14-18 
 
So many people tend to look at what they dont have and try to define their lives, which is not going to work.... Stop looking at what you dont have, and Look at what you have and use what you have. Your Greatness will want more... You dont have to convince anybody in life that you are Great... They will see it in you, without you trying to explain to them how Great you are...GREATNESS UNDEFINED... It means just that.. UNDEFINED, not even you can define how great you are nor how great you will be.. so Dont speak it into existence if you are putting a cap on it or a lid on it.. The sky is not the limit anymore 
 
Just recognize that God has given you control over every area of your life... When you recognize that you have control, you can change any situation that is going on around you...Until you have control over your life, you will accept anything that comes at you and let it in your life... All the hell that breaks loose, all the stress, all the heartache all the pain, as long as you allow it to have control over you then it is going to be with you. So gain control. 
 
The thing is there will always be an enemy, and there will always be opposition trying to stop us from acheiving Greatness...as i stated in my last note.. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says "The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure." But the thing is, Great people will be confronted by Great situations and circumstances... God will not allow you to face "little" opposition or situations, because God knows exactly how Great you are and wants you to bring it out...Its an opportunity to show just how Great you are... 
 
Some people see opposition and go the other direction.. But Great people will come into a situation and want to know how to get to the next level.. Why? Because the Greater your situation the Greater your destiny is... Opposition is not always our problem, sometimes is just in the way to getting to our Greatness and getting to the next level in our lives that God wants us to get to... Sometimes the things that we face are just stepping stones to our Greatness.. 
 
We should not be afraid of opposition!!! Why? because to acheive Greatness we have to go through it anyways... So when you face a situation that the enemy seems to throw at you, just look at your situation and tell it straight up, that I was headed this way anyways to get to the next level and go straight through it.... 
 
Just know that we are all Destined for Greatness... God has put something in us that makes us want more than what we have, makes us want to acheive more, and strive more to be better, and thats because we are Great, Great people are always gonna want to accomplish more and move to the Next Level.... 
 
I am Great and Destined for Greatness... are you??? I look at it like this "When they speak about Me they speak about Greatness!! I give them no choice or no other reason to speak otherwise... Greatness is Me and I am Destined to be Great"

1There isn't any temptation that you have experienced which is unusual for humans. God, who faithfully keeps his promises, will not allow you to be tempted beyond your power to resist. But when you are tempted, he will also give you the ability to endure the temptation as your way of escape. Corinthians 10:13
 
I was sitting here and thinking about this thing n real life situations... For Every temptation there is a way of escape.. The bible says there is no temptation that i not common to man... So whatever your temptation i feel also or i have felt before it is common... But here is God's way with temptation there is a way of escape. Meaning temptation can not be presented alone it must have an escaped attached to it.. Just like a building it can not be built without an exit sign because you are suppose to get out.. Temptation can not be built without a way of escape you are suppose to be able to get out, you are suppose to have victory...
 
Victory means final and complete supremacy or superiority in battle or wara specific military engagement ending in triumphsuccess in any contest or struggle involving the defeat of an opponent or the overcoming of obstacles
 
So look at your life and think about everything that you possibly can, like i posted in a status the other day, I look at life and i just want to be SUCCESSFUL, being SUCCESSFUL means being VICTORIOUS, I want to be the one that the enemy looks at and has to come up with a strategy to try to get into every direction.. I need him to try to come to me through my job, through my family, through my health... Look at JOB, No matter what the siuation was the enemy just wanted Job to die and curse GOD so badly.. But if you noticed something and i seen this on my moms profile... "HE DIDN'T LET ME DIE" He did not let JOB die.. he was not through with him yet as B said earlier to me... He e was not done with his purpose, he had not fulfiled his calling yet...
 
A lot of people get this thing mixed up and confused of when they are tempted and fall we stop looking for a way out and we think that it just wasn't our purpose to do this or to do that whatever he called us to do... But don't get it twisted PURPOSE CAN NOT DIE... The only way that my purpose can die is if I kil myself and I do not plan on doing that at al.. Your purpose will forever be what God has given to you, we think that just because we run or just because we hide that our purpose wil just skip over us... In the end whatever your purpose is will be fulfilled unless yo ukill yourself.. Or in the other case IF YOU LET YOURSELF DIE... But you can't let yourself die right now...
 
This thing is getting way too good to allow myself to die right now.. Who cares what hell you think that you have been through, who doesn't see hell.. How can God ever get you anywher if you don't go through storms... How can you ever know how to help somebody get through if you have never been through... Wy die her why allow yourself to die.. If only you would have endured for just another inch, another step, another level you would have realized that you were right in the place of destiny, the place of promise, a position of power and prosperity..
 
Like i said earlier, Sometimes God put's us in the most uncommon, uncomfortable positions to get u where we need to be... We get so comfortable and content with where we are at... Right now, Realize that if you are in that uncomfortable place you are right where you need to be.. but no matter what... DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO DIE

Teach Him

So I was just thinking about something that somebody said to me earlier today, and it really caught my attention because i know wheter a lot of ladies say it or not, she was bold enough to say i'm tired of telling him how to treat me, I am tired of telling him how to act like a man, I have taught him enough and now its time to keep moving.

 

Let me be the first to say this, A man can only be taught so much, he can only be taught what he wants to know and he can not be taught the basics of life.. The basics to me include how to treat a lady, how to be a man..

 

From my perspective of the of everything is this, to be a man you have to be your woman's biggest fan. That's where we make the mistake of not being supportive of our women, support their future, support their ambitions, support their lives 100% that's where we get things twisted, we always think that our women should be behind us 100percent but if they are doing that then who has their backs? The thing is to show her that you are there for her at all times.

 

Give your complete self to your woman, but first you have to be open to give yourself all of you. Its hard to give somebody all of us when we are not in tact with who we are. I understand as a man that we have a wall up as most women but there is a difference a lot of times we will let a woman put her all into it to open and climb over that wall and as soon as she gets close we back up push her away and give somebody else the opportunity, its like a repeat cycle. like i said before, like musiq soulchild said " teach me hwo to love, show me the way to surrender my heart, girl im so lost, teach me how to love" a woman should not have to teach you how to be a man, if anything just how to really be loved. as a man until you allow yourself to really be loved you will not be in love.

 

Not trying to tell anybody how to treat a woman but no matter how much i go through this or any other good man goes through this it comes to a point where you get tired of doing what the last man did not do. And men never get so comfortable that in the beginning you are the best man that she has ever had and then you fall back into the place that the last man was in. IT happens to the best of us, i have gotten to a point where I give her everything and then i have fallen short and being categorized with the last is not what you want. And it sucks to have to clean up after somebody else, but truth be told it's worst to have to try to clean up after yourself because once you go down that road all confidence in you is down the drain and your back to building a relationship from the ground up and that you do not want.

 

Understand that the way that most men are having us portrayed is showing the inability to be a man, the inability to give a woman exactly what she is seeking. Making men like myself work harder than ever before. I don't know how many people really understand how hard it is to try and get into a broken woman's heart and prove to her that you are not the last.

 

I just pray that there comes a time that all these overgrown boys would stand up and realize that a woman was placed on this earth as a rib cage. A rib cage protects one of the most valuable parts of us, which is our lungs, if our lungs are gone we can not breathe, so without women there is no life. and to me you would not want any man doing your moms or sister or anybody close to you the way you are doing somebody else.

 

Grow up and get real, times are tough out here, real love is hard to find and if you find it don't lose the sight of the heart by being an inconsistent male.. thats real

It's Not Over

Its Not Over

You know I had every intention on writing something love based, something relationship based, something that may make you think about your current situation or future situation, but to those that left me msgs with something to write on I haven't forgotten you, I promise. I don't know who this message is for but I just want to say it's not over...

I don't know what you are going through, I don't know what you been through, or what you will even begin to face in the future. But it's not over!!! Start telling yourself that it's not over.. You know I'm starting to realize I myself like a lot of you get down over certain situations, certain test and certain trials that encounter my life.. You know we're human but I've started to realize that I serve a God who handles all... I know it's easier said than done. Man is it, but the sin is not in growing weary the sin is in giving up.  You know when you started to pronounce your greatness to the world and to yourself you probably started to see more hell than you have ever seen in your life. The only thing that most of us forget is this, that most of what we are going through is nothing that you have never been through in your life... Most things we go through in life prepare us for the storm that we are going to face.

Smile nobody is greater than the next the only difference between some and others and that some a quite few have realized that in order to make it through storm you have to dance in the rain. In order to get where you wanna go you have to go where you have never been, and in most instances when you get to those places you can't get around and you can't go over, you just have to go through... Remember you can't climb a smooth mountain even if you try... As you look at your life don't look at what you don't have, look at what you do have and be blessed. Look at where you are now compared to where you used to be. It's amazing because despite where we think we should be right now we are exactly where God planned us to be. You made a date to be where you are whether you know it or not. Take everything with a smile..

Remember it's not over.... Jeremiah 29:11 For I know what I have planned for you,’ says the Lord. I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope.t (Jeremiah 29:11 NET)

Be thankful that you don't look like what you've been through, it could be worse... BUT GOD.... That is all have a fly and blessed day, and know if anybody need me I'm open always

Remember it's not over

Let Me In

I think where we tend to get a lot of things wrong is when we meet a woman or a man that from the first day we are going to determine whether or not we are going to be with them or not. I am so guilty of this personally. That its the easiest way to set yourself up for failure. If there is anyway to fail this is the first way. A lot of people say can I get to know you, but nobody ever tends to respond "Get to know me how?" as a friend, as an associate. When i say that i wanna get to know you, i wanna know everything, the ins the outs, the ups the downs, the highs the lows.

It is really ok to fall in love, it is really ok to let your guard down. It is ok to let somebody be there for you. We never truly think about it this way but it is called "Falling in Love" some people search for love, you can't search for love. You can only search for friendship. A lot of people may not believe it the way that it is. But searching for love will get you nowhere. My brother told me the other night that him and his girlfriend were never friends before the relationship but yet they had gotten to know so much about each other that they fell for each other. It's not like they were looking to be with each other.

I allowed myself to build up a wall so thick that i only allowed simple conversation. I never let my wall go half down. And when i feel it getting down i tend to go backwards. Sometimes what you once knew is not what you know anymore. The hardest thing to do in this world is to give in to yourself, to subdue to your own thoughts about your perception of love. But we allow ourselves to build walls so thick that not only can nobody get in, but we can't even get ourselves out...

The reason i write this is because I get so many phone calls, and so many text messages, fb messages, ect. about relationships, about love. But how can I give response to questions when at times I don't believe everything that i am saying. The first thing I am going to tell anybody that wants Love.... LET YOUR GUARD DOWN

A lot on my mind tonight as I think about a lot of past situations and a lot of current situations that i find myself facing, just as I would think most people such as myself find themselves in all the time.

It's Me

Something me and one of my best friend girls did... She is so wonderful of a writer so many emotions on paper. It's just something I think everybody would relate to...

She hasnt spoke up in some years. Throughout the time she just

suppressed back some tears. Holding on to fears she's never let go.

Burying the inner child who Is dieing so slow. She only wants to take

my hand. So we can grow strong and conquer what's grand. Instead of

helping her get rid of the pain,.........showing her she can forgive,

let go ,and reasure her she can live again.. I deny her her right to

even speak or come clean. When she is only trying to scream out and

say what mean. She wants to let the world know why she is so angry

inside, shes yelling & crying asking why. Once I get the understanding

that she is just asking for me. She needs me to realize with out her

I'm incomplete. As I wipe away her tears and promise to help her

conquer her fears . Let her know I haven't forgotten my inner me.



He hasnt cried in years, but the tears inside reach as deep as his

fears. But nobody believes him. Nobody sees him. Too many are worried

about what he can bring to them. Nobody can see the pain that he

endures. Everybody think the life is perfection. But nobody sees how

much he hurts to reach perfection. Nobody knows how much he wants to

cry because as many people that surround him he is still alone. He

goes many places and never feels like he belongs.. His soul cries out

for love, for affection, to make it, to feel as if he will always be

wanted and never left. As I reach down to pull him out he buries

himself deeper. But yet he stays in his box, nobody understands I'm

but yet everybody wants all of him. If they knew would they stay or

would they go? The things that he sees only he can believe that his life will change, too many people pray on his gifts but think he's fortunate enough already and will stay the same. But yet he is humbled by his experiences and trials that he is just him, and seeing them matters nothing to him. Bc his him is just to glorify HIM
