Now Thats Beautiful

Am I the only one that defines destruction as beautiful?

That can see past all the depravity

And see the new reality of life,

That can take a deep breath in all these ruins

And still smile

And you ask how?

Am I the only one that defines destruction asbeautiful?

See before the resurrection

My God had to pay the price for his affection,

Before the unity of a nation

We had to have 9/11,

And before we got a black president

Our people had to go through a depression,

See God said,

Trust in me and I will save you from all your transgressions

Jeremiah 38:18 God said I will rescue YOU

But yet our situations still seems so perplexing  

It’s like we are constantly in a battle of saving afaith that’s fading,

No longer trusting in the blueprint

We fall for the falsehood of man’s manuscript,

And wonder why we can’t find God’s beauty anymore

Sometimes we get deceived like wearing ignorance isthe new trend

Expect when sin seems to be sold out like on black Friday

People are still waiting in line for the nextshipment to come in

And I ask you

Where do we draw the line where we won’t seek for God’sglory anymore?

Where we won’t yearn for his beauty

Like it’s our divine call of duty

See God has called us collect

And already paid the price for our connection

It’s our rebellion that distorts the deliverance ofhis message,

Blessed is the man that trust in the Lord and whosehope the Lord is

So see if we can stay fixed on the creator

We can join the team of great debaters on howpowerful his love is

And because of this

From his word I will get heavy equip

Because no longer can I live foolish

God is the solution!

Am I the only one that defines destruction asbeautiful?

And can see past the moment of this course

And that God will get me through this,

Now that,

That’s beautiful! 

Hope

Moving out to the eastern shore of Maryland I've noticed a lot of things that are different from the city. One small thing but is the basis of my post is; I thought Blockbusters went out of business. Back in the city I thought all blockbusters went under, they either turned into a staples or just left. I felt as though the company just couldn't keep up with the times.
Then a commercial just crossed my screen on how the company is still alive and kicking. They were actually boasting on how they are now better than Redbox and Netflix. The fact that they were bold enough to make that statement requires them to have a lot of faith, a lot of hope in their company.
See sometimes when things look bleak you have to get to your quiet place, get centered with God, and wait your season out. Sometimes all it takes is patience. Ironically Blockbusters had the same type plan they waited out, planned, and created a plan to top their competitors. Just as this new rendition of this company so should we have hope and have a plan in our tough situations. Even if our plan is just waiting on God, Psalms 42:5 we have to have hope and faith in our most desperate times!

All things have a beginning and end. Yet, us humans yearn for things to last forever and we forget God is the only one that will suffice. Guaranteed he is the Alpha and Omega he will always be there.

Wheres your passion?

"Do it with passion or don't do it at all." ~ Anonymous

How often do you find yourself doing things half way of your potential. I feel like we inadvertently fall into an unconscious rhythm of just missing the mark. I remember times I would barely read my work just to make it to a party on time. To many times have we lacked the effort needed to succeed in this course we're in. It seems like we are only living life just to get by. Which concerns me because if your so lax in the world you'll be lax in the spiritual. It's proven how can you say you'll honestly chase after God with so much passion when we can't do it for earthly things we love or are required to do. We are born in sin and run from God daily; so I doubt it's a switch we can just turn on at our pleasure. In all of our endeavors we need to do it with the love and desire God wants from us. We need to be focused on the obstacle at hand push through without giving up. Without losing the passion we've once had for our subject.

Just my thoughts had it on my heart and had to say something...

Life is like chess, every move you make is crucial to your survival at the end of the day. At times I wonder if I'm making the right choices in life. I question if I'm on the right path or if I understood what I was supposed to be doing right. I wonder if my parents are looking down at me cheering me on from heaven. Can you imagine a bleacher of saints cheering for you once you make that right move? I can hear the hoorays now...

Life Goes On.. God Keeps Me Strong

Would you cry tears of sorrow and pain when someone gives their life to God? No right! Today is my father's birthday, he past 4 years ago and this year I find it harder to cry over him. I'm starting to deal with him and my mother not being here more and more each year. Today though I started to think about my question I stated earlier. If I am happy that someone came to Christ; shouldn't I be just as thankful and happy someone went to be with him. Death is a hard thing to deal with, but it eases my heart when I know the person knew and loved God. They went off to be free off pain and stresses. To be full of joy and happiness. I feel like I would be selfish to want them to stay and deal with this life just for me.

I know my mother, father, and brother are all in a better place. I can't imagine crying or feeling bad for them not being here anymore. I know God has them!

People say to me all the time I don't know how your still standing. But I've been leaning on God all these years it's like I've been floating all along.
