Road trip....

Yesterday I had to drive to ALA to take Candace and Olivia to meet their mom. For most people this would be a normal thing meaning in todays society that divorce is common. But not in this case, we quickly said our goodbyes and got directly back on the road. There was a total silence until we got to the Ga border. Kami was just sitting there looking out the window. Sometimes its hard as friends to watch someone you love and care for go through some God-awful things. But I reminded her that this thing was supposed to destroy her and it did in some ways but she got back up. She proved others wrong, yeah there were some bumps in the way and some mistakes made. But you got up and moved on. So the point was what was intended to destroy you can make u stronger if you allow it too. This phrase can be applied to anyone , sometimes life deals a deck of cards that just does not seem fair but if we take it and then take God's hand then we can overcome ...

So kami and as 2007 comes to a close I just wanted to say i AM proud of ya.

What do I want????

Tonight Bro.Teel's message sparked something in me. It was entitled "what do you ( I) want? The first things that came to mind were of course the non-spiritual things like a man, kids,good job etc.. But tonight he challenged us to go deeper and onto a spiritual note. What about in our relationship with God. It made me began to take an inventory. What can i do to have more of him in my life; what changes can I make that would make me get closer to God. He gave this awesome illustration, the one step i make towards God is one step he makes closer to me. And if the process continues then after awhile God and me are like literally face to face. I know that I have made some changes but there are a lot to go. But it is a daily thing, its me seeking his face on a daily basis that brings about changes that will be long lasting. We can talk and say that we are going to do things but sometimes our actions speak louder than our words.So many times we say that we are going to make a commitment but after one day we fall to the wayside and go back to the things that we once did. But it is when we get a true love and true want to live for him then we can see the commitments through.So tonight I issue a challenge; what do u want in your walk with God.

Getting back UP!!!!!!!!!!!

The ability to get back up depends on
the number of times you've been knocked down.


Sometimes it feels like u make so much progress and then one little thing throws u back father than where we started. After everything we can feel like a complete loser because we let ourself get caught up in something like that. but we have to get back up and get back in the race. People all the time make mistakes but it is what we learn from them that makes us stronger and makes us a better person. So get up dust your knees off for today is another day ...:)

Getting Ready For AYC!!!!!!

I cannot wait to see all my friends have great church and make some more memories. Some of my friends i only get to see at district functions so this is why this is such a treat. Here are some pics from the pats few holiday youth conventions

pushing through

pain comes in all forms. In the small twinge, a bit of soreness, the random pain, & the normal pains we live with everyday. Then there's the kind of pain that you just can't ignore. A level of pain so great that it blocks out everything else. It makes the rest of the world fade away until all we can think about is how much we hurt. How we manage our pain is up to us. We ride it out, embrace it, ignore it, run from it, & for some of us, the best way to manage the pain is to just push through it.

I was going through my emails today and I came across this quote. It fits perfectly. How we deal with things that have caused us great pain define who we are as a person. We can either dwell on it and get angry and bitter or we can overcome it and give it over to God. We do not always understand why but we can trust in a God who knows all and who has our best interest at heart. So tonight God I am trusting you ......

Blessed

I just want to say that I am blessed to have such great people that I call my friends. Here are some pics to show that from this past weekend.
