I will admit that it has been a minute since I posted. Things go so fast, but all in all. Its been PRODUCTIVE! What I want to write about today is my experience this Christmas Holiday. For the First time, I didnt go home instead I venture out in to expanding this time. It starts with V.....VOLTUNEER for FREE and by Choice. If the season is known for the Giving, who should we give to and where does the Giving Stop? Is it Seasonal or it like the Evergreen Tree? These are some of the question that arose in me.
So I ministered at the Dallas Life Foundation. My station was the dessert. It just amazing seeing the people come in. Ohh yeah, it was humble & pride had to move! I mean being Grateful & Counting your Blessing does not even compare to in words of the magnitude of it. People looking like me that I would have thought twice were in the shape they were in. The Kids for babies & toddlers to teen in their prime of life looking defeated in their eyes. And I ask myself other question, How Close Am I? No from being there in there shoes, but close to give them a smile, close to say hello, close to treat them just like me. and be simple with them. Alot times, I can say personally, over analyze what we can do instead of do. If you just do it will lead into the bigger things...........

Moving to MORE!!!
My thoughts have been consumed by the MORE thing. God wants MORE for you and me. Yeah, easy say that done, I think the thing is not that we dont understand but understanding it fully. This MORE has to become life to us, at the congretation that I fellowship we have been target the Abraham instruction ( Gen 12) by Awesome Teacher Pastor Lori Blake. One point we look at, That you have to leave to get, You have to move. One thing to cherish and to thank God for is the ability to move and not be stagnant. You say but I am stagnant or I know the brotha/sista that is not moving. But thats by CHOICE! IM not going to lie and say that situation dont effect, but it is mind/will alterating step one must do.
As stated in the scripture, Abraham was ALREADY RICH, this was a man who was a think ahead person so his mind was ALREADY Set on FORWARD. We must take know that we must first think forward. How you do that by having a combo mind & speech tag team if you will. Declaring what you are doing when it do look like, think in the direction. I not only believe how you think will determine your talk, but what you talk will change your mind, too.They go Hand & Hand, there relative.

Gotta GROW!!!
"There is a theory of human behavior that says people subconsciously retard their own intellectual growth. They come to rely on cliches & habits. Once they reach the age of their own personal comfort with the world, they stop learning & their mind runs on idle for the rest of their days. They may progress organizationally, they may be ambitious & eager, & they may even work night & day. BUT they may learn no more." -Phillip B. Crosby

Christians – By Maya Angelou
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting “I’m clean livin’.”
I’m whispering “I was lost,
Now I’m found and forgiven.”
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong.
I’m professing that I’m weak
And need His strength to carry on.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success.
I’m admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not holier than thou,
I’m just a simple sinner
Who received God’s good grace, somehow!

Young & Small
Recently & I know that this is not foreign to most, but what do we as the BOC do about/support in these young men's futures( Jena Six).Yes, I know what all the boys did were wrong on both sides. I believe if we allow this destruction of unity in our nation to continue the cycle of hatred goes on in a another generation, which birth out curses in our land. I know we can pray, fast & do rituals; and I encourage to do because there is power in that. In the book of James, it talks about being doer and not just heard of word. I know that you are a individual that love, wants, desire, strive to make an impact on the heart.
See what the enemy would like to do and does is start young & small. Let me go to small community & start with young folk that really is miseducated in rights/laws. Then, fan the flame! Most of us didn't know that this being going on a year, I didnt. So beseech you that we give life to these young men. To the lawyer, judge, professor who knows about the law inform the community at a rally because alot of us dont know our rights to its totality. So Im asking you of your gift. For some this may be a call to go in support on Sept. 20
Here are some links for more information:

Lesson 106b
The poor you will always have with you,....... Matthew 26:11a
Good Morning, Good Midday, Good Evening, and/or Good Night!
How are you doing. I pray & hope that favour is all around you now. You are probably wonder what is he talking about now. I want to stay in the volume of the book, and add life. The passage of scripture starts with the poor, STOP dont just thinking about your finances only. In fact, I want you explore this word Poor...Poor in food, in knowledge & understanding, health, joy, peace of mind, ideas, character, and might as well just be money ( I felt that somebody wouldnt let that go). But I like what Jesus say, " You will always have." In essence, somebody going to need something sometime, dont get me wrong. The question that I ask God is why the poor and not rich. Human nature says that we always look at what we dont have (Poor). I believe that Jesus was speaking Mentality they would understand. But ALWAYS LORD.....You are the one can make us whole/rich......Hmmm!
I want to pose this question to you what are you rich in? Somebody say here come the REMIX, Im not talking about poor. Let that alone. See you are rich with something. Bible does state that their are teasures hidden in earthly vessel, right! U are Rich. Okay the poor you will have with you always. Though you may be poor in something/ you are rich in something. Jesus was talking about in statement Purpose and Duty, Your Wealth in You, the Power to Exchange! I beseech you brethen that you exchange you rich to increase yourself. Where I weak, He is strong and when I say that he'll something show is strength in YOU to Me! WIth that I encourage again, because you are RICH in Wisdom, Talents, Ideas, Raising Kids, Handle Finances, Smiling, Dressing, Making Kool-AId.......U Know. Thank the Lord that you are Rich to day, and share you wealth to someone who is poor in the area. Be Blessed
