Blog...About....Something...?

Man....I got here and forgot what I wanted to talk about....uhhh, ummmmm, ok!
Here's something:
I've been reading Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I'm hooked on it. This guy's tale of his struggles to find himself and his place in white society. This was pre-Civil Rights so yeah...it's very racially driven much like a lot of things are today, whether most people realize it, admit it, understand it or not.

This book is opening my eyes about somethings. I'll let you know fully when I finish.

Maybe I'll remember the other thingie later...I don't know...

Reflections

I've been through a lot these last few weeks. I'm glad that God has helped me through it all.

I've been helping out with Vacation Bible School at my church. They had me helping out with all the lil kiddies 3,4,5,&6 year olds. That's the fun age (Not if you're watching 'em)! I most certainly had fun & those kids were hangin', climbin', and jumpin' all over me (and trying to kick my ass). I saw people I met (and taught) last year and its amazing to see how much kids grow in a year (What are we feeding these jokers?!)! I never knew how much I was missed until I left either. I've touched some hearts. Dunno how, or why, or when but I did.

Now that all that's over (Vacation Bible Skool I mean), I've just been reflecting on the past a lil. I wonder just how many people's lives I've touched over the years (I noticed it a while ago)...cause I know countless people that have come across my path that have inspired and motivated and have just been lights of my life...still amazes me that I can be and do that to someone else. I'm glad that I can do that.

So, why do people love them some D-MOBB?! I dunno exactly, but maybe it's cause I love them too. That's my theory.

I wanna say thanks to everyone in my life who's inspired, motivated, counseled (babysat), or has just plain been there for me. You know who ya are. 'Preciate cha! I hope I could/can/could do the same for you in the past/present/future!







This blog reminds me of a Monk tune by a similar name. 'Course everything reminds me of some kinda song...smh....

War...What Is It Good For?

There's an old saying somewhere, that wars cannot be won by strength alone I see what that is about now. And I absolutely believe it. It takes all kinds of things, cunning, strategy, instinct and most importantly patience to rule the battlefield...whatever battlefield you may be on. Depending what you're doing, fighting an actual factual war? Trust yourself and collaborate with other good strategists. Fighting a spiritual war? Then ask God for some guidance...actually you should do that in the other case too come to think of it.

I have no clue what this blog was originally supposed to be about because I started it a month ago and never finished it so, yeah I've just been going off of almost nothing here...I was in a completely different place when I started it, a bit frustrated and angry so yeah...no...it ain't workin' anymore. Anyways I'm just gonna take an 'L' on this one. Ha-Haaa! Irony!






You could just be Battle Fever J and blow people up with the penta force attack! Watch out for the two missiles about to blow your ass to bits!

Summer 2

I've just been thinking after everything that's happened over the last couple weeks...stress, fear, anger, happiness, love, strength, hope, ALLLLL kinds of emotions I've gone through...I'm very relieved especially now that I have a vacation. But most of all, I think that I wouldn't trade the path that I've taken in this life for the world. I reflect and I'm proud, finally truly proud of myself. I'm absolutely loving my friends too. I honestly don't say it enough but I love you guys!

All the while though, I'm trying not to let it get to my head....I'm gonna enjoy it the best I can though. Stayin' focused!

Steppin' Up

I've been through a lot this last week. Found out a lot about my family and friends. Who really is there for me and not. I've also seen that I've always had what it took to be a leader...it just took a crisis for it to finally sink in. When the pressure was on and all eyes were on me I stepped up and delivered. I'm proud of myself and motivated even more to reach my goals. God had already put that in me and I know that I can be so much more than I am. I will continue to strive to be the man that God wants me to be. I'm glad I made the decision to step up to the plate. The Lord is starting to use me. I never thought it'd feel this good to be used.

In times of trouble I've started looking to my bible and my favorite scripture Psalm 3. Verse 3 says: For you Lord are a shield for me. You're my glory, you lift my head. When I look at that, I perk right up. There's a story behind it that I won't go into but it's helped me through some tough times and I suggest it to anyone that believes in the power the Word has that comes to me with some problem.

Real men, godly men let God light their way. And he will lead them to everything they need in their lives. Especially that woman they've been waiting for! But when the time is right! Same to you women out there reading this...God's gotcha back!





I know who I am but I'm getting surprised more and more everyday by what I will become.

Strength

Things have been quite busy for me lately. Heating up in the middle of the summer. I wanted to make this short and sweet. I'm glad I came back home for the summer now. God has revealed so much in my life about everything! And this 'vacation' hasn't been the best but it's ok. I'm strong but the Lord's making me even stronger! I love how this is happening. And I love you Lord! Thank you so much for everything that you've brought my way cause it's brought me to you.
