Pain or Joy they both can come with CHANGE!

This thought came to me that we can have either experience when we experience change. This is one thing makes a difference in which WAY you will go. PAIN OR JOY!- They can also be BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE.

Like in a vehicle (work, faith, career, community,) you may be heading with all of your safety measures in place, but you come up to a construction site, announcing with all of the road signs, flashing lights, and even a police vehicle flashing, but it only warns you that is approaching a few miles up the road. What does this tell you? Proceed with caution, Get off at the next exit to find another WAY. Well, even though this can cause emotions, if you are on a schedule, and you do not know if you will have a delay or not. But this is only a fraction of what a change in direction can cause.

But let’s use this for now, and think on how little changes in our pathway, can either slow us down, or cause us to take a different route. The KEY is to keep MOVING FORWARD, accept the decisions you made, and if it is painful, use that to your advantage to stay focus, and if it causes joy, do the same.

ONE WORD

Inspired by a thought of what drives us to be

Thinking of one word that suddenly moved me

That word is not just to give thought

That word is what my enemies brought

That word was one thing I failed to see

That single word was used hard against me

That word was used to a man I gave too much

That word was used to friends I gave my trust

That word was used to bring down my house

That word almost took me out by more than my spouse

That single word hides behind the fake smiles

That word waits patiently because it can take awhile

What is this word that seems so powerful at best

What is this word, that can bring joy and yet unrest

The sad part about this word, it is used so blindly

This word we assume is being used quite kindly

We run around with affirmations which we do not believe

Because the actions behind those words is what is received

So we; yes we, think we are untouchable by this

When our enemy is using those close to us with a gentle kiss

Then comes the trauma that this word has caused

Leaving one paralyzed or shocked by such a clause

What would you do to recover from this fate

How will you restore from such a blow, what is the time or date

But what your enemy failed to realize

Is that that word used was also what helped you thrive

Because that enemy assumed that it took you out

When it fact if placed you in its center and assisted in a turn about

An about face that gave you strength to survive

Gave you the keys to now see the who’s and the why’s

So like an example that has changed the face of time

You can follow that same lead and be restored and be the head of the line

With one swift turn, the tides have now changed

With one swift turn, what was familiar is now shown how strange

This word I am thankful that it helped me to see

What is this word you ask, the word is STRATAGY

When your enemy assumed you were out

And began to bodily lean over you and begin to count

The numbers may have been for some, weeks, days or even years

You were traumatized, shocked, you cried with so many tears

Behind enemy lines you began your strategic fight to win

Behind enemy lines you made the about face an here it begins

Strategy used to bury you has been the handle that lifted

The very word STRATEGY is now the word that is gifted.

Released Forever and Always

What do you do when the one you love is gone,
When what was supposed to be right now seems to be all wrong.

Knowing the heart of my Heavenly Father, hating divorce,
Understanding the death like feeling, such heartbreak and remorse.

However The Holy Spirit comforts your heart,
Telling you it is okay, to allow him to go, since he wants to part.

Cannot be concerned about what people will say,
It is your life, and it is you who has to walk this through day by day.

Family members on either side believing the story they are being told,
Truth mixed with mostly lies, is the goods they have been sold.

Watching all of this happen like water spinning down a drain,
Fighting to put in the stopper, but it’s all dirty water and has caused an ugly stain.

So it needs to go, be released so that you can live a clean life,
Hoping maybe this divorce will help both of you, as long as their no strife.

Then he calls, ask to come back telling you he made a mistake,
Is this the truth with lies he is so famous for, is it real or fake?

Apart of you doesn’t care, you just want the opportunity to live your dream,
Knowing that you still believed in him, no matter how crazy that may seem.

No one knew your long distant talks, not including the woman with whom he cheated with,
So strange now the wife of over 20 plus years, listening to him like some fairytale myth.

What in the world are you holding on for, he needed to go with all the abuse,
Yes it was real, no matter the reason, stop covering him again, allowing him the excuse.

Now he admits he has a problem and wants to receive much needed help,
“Willing again to take counseling”, he says, “leaving her proving you my first step.”

Then it happens he gets deadly ill, now you find out he’s been playing games once more,
living his double life, you almost came back and it would have been worse than before.

Giving him up when he wanted to leave was not a very easy thing,
Looking at the gold circle a gift of love, that was more than a promise ring.

So my dear, she gave you back your desire, you left, and now you forever gone,
Years have past since you have died, and it was hard for her to move on.

Finally she knows, she loved you deeply, forgave you daily, until the very end of your days,
Death you did part, which began in your heart, she has now released you forever and always.

Yes You Were a Young Rapist

Yes You Were a Young Rapist

I wonder what you tell yourself to make you sleep at night,

did you think it was consent even when she put up a fight.

I wonder what you told yourself as your life you proceed,

As she yelled.. NO THIS IS RAPE, but you thought she concede.

I wonder if you confessed this ugly sin that you did in your youth,

did you repent or continue this hidden lie, in and out of your abuse booth.

Did you continue that taste of desire to hurt another,

or hid in the pack of your rapist band of brothers.

A group of cowards, bullies, thinking that you somehow are real men,

got a shock for you, You are not, and never have been.

Now you maybe in your 50’s married or probably gay,

is that why you did it..you were confused, so you hurt women in every way.

So if you continued to deceive yourself, and the so called life you built,

and never faced the lives you destroyed the many souls you’ve killed.

If you are a real man, and the statue of limitation takes away your crime,

then what do you have to fear, still need to MAN up and face the truth who you were in your past time.

I truly hope that you are no longer that person, whether in your pack, or alone,

that you dealt with your sin, and not trying to hide, or  pretend around others forgetting as you now cast your stone.

All of us have done things, that we regret and probably are ashamed,

so the sin of rape, is rape and you are, or was a rapist no matter what, that’s your name.

God does forgive, and the many young students you took advantage of may also forgive you,

however unless you forgive yourself and take responsibility it does not matter what you do.

This poem was written so that you can look in that mirror you think you are hiding behind,

and confess, face it, and man up and hopefully help others STOP this ugly crime.

Bullying is the beginning, and your looks, money, or popularity is not or never was consent,

now take ownership and help others, you know where to find them, so they don’t take the path you went.

The goal is to stop all of the young bullies, from abusing, thinking a smile or flirt is a right of passage,

thank you for confessing your evil, and let’s expose it, by accepting and spreading this realistic message.

I was a young rapist, or I still have a problem, is the first step you have to face,

this would be a beginning confession, enough is enough, and we are here to help you, healing you too..yes you, this is how we begin this race.

Start today…no excuses, heal by moving forward and know you are still loved..no fear,

it takes courage so to help you to begin healing, begin with confessing…and you are not alone we all are here.

Not to cast judgment, or to cast blame of any kind,

we are here to help you heal, teach others and deliver others from this state of mind.

So yes….you were a young rapist, a bully, and hope you can see yourself now in a different way,

that you now have a message  to deliver to others, this is who you were, and are no longer..freedom and healing is here to stay.

TWO MOTHERS TWO LIVES

TWO MOTHERS TWO LIVES

From a child who once had no name,
the date of birth was wrong just the same

She was told she was given out of love
That the woman risked her life to see this little dove

However being raised with love but always with a story
I should have been grateful she gave God all the Glory

But it was as if I did not belong
She introduced me as the child she’s raising with a sad song

telling everyone I was a premie who years later could not walk
She sent me to a ministry after they fasted 7 days was the first time I could talk

She would tell them how my birth mom gave me away
and then you wonder why you never felt in your heart to stay

Visiting them (my natural family) on holidays, summer winter and spring
riding alone while trusting her male friends to Miami they would bring

The greatest that happened was that I was given back to Christ
My Foster mom (Esther Miller)made a promise that was her price

She kept her commitment to the church mothers to bring me to the house of God
They were very strict, and gave me no mercy they believed strongly in the rod.

To the alter many days and nights, and many long shut in’s
where you fast with only water 3 to 7 days and night until the very end

After so many different battles being trained like this
I am grateful to both of them because I was embraced with God’s kiss

Not saying I passed every test of my life through the course of time
But I will say I was given purpose and destiny, and to me that’s worth every dime
There are many facet of this I could share in this poem, words full of hurt and strife
But I will say THANK YOU that Catherine Finch and Esther Miller, gave me the gift of life

My birth mother (Catherine) this pregnancy she could have easily aborted,
My Foster mother (Esther) gave me Christ and her faith in the elders this she awarded

Now its up to me to continue the life they gave the best they could
no excuses for any choices, the final destiny is now that I live the way I should

In this poem I give my thanks, gratitude and sincere dedication of love
to the two beautiful women who made strong choices and and decided life was the best choice one on earth, and the other from above.

I boldly accept both of them, the lives they both chose to give
now for Yahshua (Jesus) my family, ministry and community I WILL CHOOSE TO LIVE.

Inspired for greatness

When I think to utter these words “Inspired for greatness” I think of you.  As you noticed I did not say inspiring for greatness or to inspire for greatness, I am saying inspired, past tense.  The goal of this blog is to bring you into a place receiving all of the challenges that you have faced, and recognize that they have paved a way for you more than you know.  Focus with me as we go through this walk of greatness, and I am positive you will see how great you really are.

Many of us, well I am sure all of us have experience some real issues, test, trials, whatever name you want to give the traumatic experience that you had to face, and how it did change you.  Remember this is not a blog to tell of those stories, but to focus on the drive that you felt, and now feel, and how to not let that define you, hinced (inspired for greatness).  A part of me ask,should I go down that road and share my own with you, but again this is not that blog.  This is however that blog that want to say from the old sayings, “taking the lemon and making lemonade,” “taking the hurt and jumping over it as a hurtle,” and finally I am adding this “taking the death, and resurrecting into something new.”  You are not finished, and your story is not over, we need to see you as you arise as a sun from behind the clouds.  The sun did not stop shining as the heavy storms blew in with all of it’s destruction, and as the sun still remains, so do you.  We hear of so many of the stories that had tragedies, difficulties and how greatness was born and thrived, like Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles with what seem to be a physical limitations did not stop the dream of who they are, and what they have become.  WOW, honestly there are so many even in politics with Abraham Lincoln who won only one election, and it was by far the greatest, not only for him but for the country, and in my opinion the world.  We cannot forget another world changer as we heard from the “pit” to the “palace in The Holy Scriptures Genesis 40 chapter, learning of Joseph who was face with so many levels of defeat, trauma, rejection, betrayal, abuse, and I can go on and on, yet knowing who he is and who he serves kept him focused, and open doors of opportunities.  Your challenges no matter how physical, mental, spiritual, they are definitely your inspiration to your greatness.

With that said, remain focus and motivated, not allowing what appears to limit you, hold you because there is no limits to greatness.  WOW I am so excited for YOU! I look forward to seeing you, hearing you, however I am most definitely praying for you to continue, pursue, and overcome because  we most assuredly need you.

My final are thoughts for this blog and with the post by The daily quotes above with my quote “Do not allow what has happened around you or to you to stop the greatness on the inside of you.”  One other point of this word “inspired,” I want you to know inspiration can take many forms, from poverty to wealth, from homelessness to sheltering others, a deaf man like Beethoven to hear a sound that is not physical, yet brought it into the physical realm and still is one of the worlds best sounds. Please note that there is a sound within you, listen to it, and pursue your dream.  As a dear friend Eric Owusu who happens to call me as I was writing this blog, and wanted to share a word of the Holy Scriptures with me regarding Mary who received a word from the angel, and the final word was”That there is nothing impossible with God.” I enjoyed his message, and I had to add it to this blog, because  now I say  with boldness to you, “there is nothing impossible to you.”  Also remember Joseph in the Holy Scriptures in Genesis as we mentioned earlier, he also had an impossible dream, and the troubles (inspiration) launched him to be in the place that took him literally out of jail, to be the second greatest person in Egypt. However it did something greater; more than anything his life was in place to save his family, his country, and made him a savior for a world stricken with famine, his trials (lied on, betrayed) positioned him to keep listening to his gift (dream interpreter) and no matter the conditions, keep sharing the gift, because one day that gift went before the king.  So as you  are inspired (trials, test, issues difficulties) please let them launch you forward to greatness.

Thank you for sharing with us your greatness.

BE ENCOURAGED

BE ENCOURAGED

A TWIST ON ENCOURAGEMENT

Poem “NEVER GIVE UP”

No matter what it looks like……..NEVER GIVE UP

No matter what it sounds like…..NEVER GIVE UP

No matter what if feels like………NEVER GIVE UP

 

Never give up on the dream that is in your heart,

stay focus on your vision and never let it part.

Never give up on the goals you set for this dream

don’t allow distractions no matter how bad it seems.

Dreams are ageless, timeless, you are in control

therefore renew each moment, daily set fresh goals.

Family, friends, associates matters none

Because you must depend on yourself to get it done.

Faith without works is dead, belief alone matters not

Put action to the dream, one step at a time giving it all you got.

However you must believe in yourself, as your faith is in God above

Work hard for your dream, and let every ingredient be made with love.

Forgive the haters that come in all color, shapes and sizes

Receive by faith the finish product, seeing all the awards and prizes.

Your success is here, wrapped in a long struggled story,

The end of it is beautiful and TO GOD ALONE BE ALL THE GLORY

Just like this poem that is pouring out of my heart

I SHALL LIVE MY DREAM AND THIS IS MY NEW START!!!

 

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

 

Love

Begin Again

No matter when we start, in any race, event, and/or functions.  The key is”just start”.  I find that many are hindered by fears of so many levels, and here I speak of myself.  Fear has faces, and those faces are worn by family members, so called friends, and associates, but the greatest fear is looking in the mirror and seeing inward that “you” are your biggest fear.  In the bible fear is seen as a spirit, as in 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” NLT

So I send these words of love to you, and that is “Begin Again”  If you have started and stopped, no matter the reason, turn the “Hurts” in to  “Hurtles” and soar over them.  I can remember my high school track days, and the coach wanted me to run the hurtles, and for the life of me, I could not keep that back leg high enough.  I will never forget the joy I felt when I soared over those hurtles, and I use this analogy when I think of what may have attempted to stop you, or may have stopped you; I am here to say to you dear ones “Begin Again”!  You have everything in your favor, why I say this, you may ask, well if you  are reading this blog, then (smiling) you are alive, and you can achieve.

Begin again, is what I want to share with you, because the start does not matter, it is where you finish.  So with this said, like those days of track and field in the various types of races there are challenges, and we are capable of achieving each race, like in the relay race we can drop the baton of success being past to us, but pick it up and continue running.  Also when you jump the hurtle and it falls, don’t look back, just keep focused and prepare for the next one, because as sure as you are in this race, the next one is up ahead.  Their are the long distant races, and the short 50 yard dashes, it is not the type of race you are in that matters, what matters is that you are in the race and your reward awaits you, just finish.

I speak to myself as I share my heart, because life has brought many hurts, that I had to hurtle over, but I will not quit, because the prize is to great.  Just because you began again, does not mean you must start from the front of the line, no it does not, it only mean pick up where you left off and GO!

This was a pleasure sharing with you.
