DO ME BABY!!

I am walking along thinking of all the directions that life has lead me in. It is funny at times that I get mad because I have not led that stable life that so many people crave. I have had ups and downs and been in all types of situations. I have dealt face to face with the devil in many forms and God has brought me through each time. That makes me no better or no worse than the next person. That is just the life that God choice for me. He decided that I needed a life that was filled with various challenges. I knew that I needed to have all these lessons to build me towards His purpose for me. I have spent my life in search of purpose. I have come to realize that my life and your life are very uniquely different. I can do almost all the same things that you do yet God has given me a totally different perspective on it. There is no way for me to be you. There is no way for me to do you so I must do me and allow you to do you. What I like is what I like, if I listen to Hip Hop and wear my pants low you may see me as a thug, a criminal, yet I may go and write software at a major corporation and live in the suburbs. I may like a little reggaeton and live out in the country far away from any island hood. One day I may listen to Alicia keys and the next it may be Mettalica or Luda. So what does this say, that my experiences have given me a variety of tastes. That my reality and what I feel is based on what is deep within me. I have been given these experience to allow me to accept and understand others and their experience. Not so that I can feel better than, not so that I can point the finger and say you are less than. in the end we are all imperfect and need the Blood of Christ to save our souls. For many years I have hidden myself away from the world. Lacking the courage to come out and say that I have failed. i did not realize the training that was going on all that time. I did not see how much I was being taught about this world's imperfections and that mine were no different from other peoples. Each day I look in the mirror and I say that you can be a stronger man, that you can be a better man, I used to think that this was my flaw, that I did not accept that I am not king of the world. Then I realized that if I allow myself to think small I shall be small, but if I dream big and have faith then the world is mine. This has been promised me by my Father and often times I guess that I forget that if he wants to give me this world then it is his choice and I can not fight what he places in my heart. So today I promise to do MY best and to let you do YOUR best. I beg of you to reach for the blessings that you have been given and use them as your spirit directs you....

Where's the Love

I have many friends that are telling me that I should write. They say that I have some inspiring thoughts. All I can say to them is thank you and thank God for allowing me to put words together at times that make sense. The big problem for me is that I am not sure what to write about many times. I have so many thoughts running through my head and I often lose my focus. So I dig deeper to see what if anything that my thoughts have in common. Then I realize that it is love. Love is a common theme for me. I feel as though that is the key to life here on this planet.
Love is a tricky subject and therefore it takes on so many meanings. Love from God and for Him. Love of family and friends. Love for oneself and that special someone. At times I will be talking about each one. They have some great things in common and some things that are so different that it will be hard to realize that it is the same word. I hope to spread love to all that are willing to accept it into their lives. For the moment that you are with me a read something that I write know that I love you and hope that life brings to you all that you dream of. At times it may seem that I can not have love in my heart because something I say is not real loving, that is when love is at its strongest, when we challenge the world to be a better place. There are so many challenge that we face, but there is so much that we have to be thankful for, think, if you are reading this then you have access to the net. It is great, life is good now if you look for the good. So since we have the freedom to do so, let us love and discuss love!
