The Time Is Now

Now is the time to receive your blessings....His Sheep know His voice.  Listen for the voice of GOD...He will lead you in the right direction. Watch for the open windows and doors that your miracles will flow from.

Take Care and Be Blessed.

He Feels Your Pain

IN THOSE TIMES WHEN YOU FEEL MOST ALONE

WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE NO ONE EVEN CARES

REMEMBER THAT GOD CARES FOR YOU

HE KNOWS THE NUMBER OF HAIRS ON YOUR HEAD

HE KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES THAT YOU WISHED YOU WERE DEAD

HE FEELS YOUR PAIN

WHEN ALL YOUR FRIENDS HAVE FORSAKEN YOU

WHEN FAMILY HAS TURNED THERE BACK

WHEN YOU DON'T ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THE BILLS

AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE LIVING IN LACK

LOOK TO THE HEAVENS WHERE YOUR HELP IS

HE FEELS YOUR PAIN

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID 

JUST LET GO AND LET GOD 

HE WILL PICK UP YOUR SLACK

HE'S GOT YOUR BACK 

HE FEELS YOUR PAIN

(THIS GOES OUT TO ANYONE WHO IS HAVING A HARD TIME RIGHT NOW AND WHO FEELS LIKE THE ARE FORGOTTEN....JUST A GENTLE REMINDER THAT YOU CAN CAST YOUR CARES ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU...PEACE AND BLESSINGS)

A NEW DAY

TODAY IS THE BEST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE
I AM LEARNING TO SEE MYSELF AND OTHERS THROUGH GOD'S EYES

I AM TAKING AUTHORITY OVER EVERYTHING NEGATIVE IN MY LIFE
AND CASTING IT INTO THE FIERY PITS WHERE IT BELONGS

NO LOOKING BACK
NO DOUBT
NO FEAR
NO SHAME

I DON'T HAVE ANY ROOM FOR THOSE THINGS IN MY LIFE
DEFINITELY THIS IS A MOVE OF GOD
AND AN ACTIVATION OF MY FAITH

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE MIRACLES THAT ARE ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE
YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR YOUR MIRACLES TODAY

NEWS FLASH!!!!

IN THE WORDS OF RODNEY KING..."CAN WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?"

A SIMPLE PRAYER

DEAR GOD,

I NEED HELP!!!
THIS WORLD IS A DANGEROUS PLACE
FOR AN EARTHEN VESSEL
SO MANY TIMES I HAVE COME CLOSE TO
BEING SHATTERED
CRUSHED OR
THROWN AWAY AND RIGHT NOW I AM
ASKING FOR YOU TO REFILL ME
AS YOU HAVE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE
I ASK THAT YOU APPLY A NEW COAT OF
SEALANT ON MY DELICATE SURFACE
TO PROTECT ME FROM
THE STORMS
PUT ME IN A WELL LIT AREA TO DETER
THE ONES WHO WANT TO STEEL MY
JOY
RESTORATION IS MUCH NEEDED
I KNOW THAT I CAN ONLY SEEK YOU
IN ORDER TO FULLY RECOVER
SO I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE AND ASK THAT
YOU SHOWER DOWN YOUR ESSENCE AND YOUR
SPIRIT ON ME AS WELL AS OTHERS
IN FULL FAITH
SO BE IT

RANDOM THOUGHT

ALLOW ME TO BE YOUR BUFFER/ LET ME BE THE ONE YOU LEAN ON/ KNOW THAT GOD HAS PUT ME HERE JUST FOR THAT PURPOSE/AN EMPTY VESSEL THAT HE USES TO TOUCH YOUR LIFE/U DON'T HAVE TO BE STRONG BECAUSE GOD HAS YOUR BACK/HE SENT ME AS HIS REPRESENTATIVE/I AM LIKE A LIVING MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE/ AND THE MESSAGE READS: YOU ARE NOT ALONE/YOU ARE HEALED/ YOU ARE WHOLE

In Their Shoes

HE STOOD THERE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
HOLDING A SIGN THAT READ:

HOMELESS....WILL WORK FOR FOOD

NOW SKEPTICISM KICKED IN AND
IN MY MIND, FOR JUST A MOMENT,
I THOUGHT......

IF HE IS HOMELESS, WITH NO FOOD OR SHELTER,
WHERE DID HE GET A MARKER TO MAKE A SIGN?

THIS THOUGHT PROCESS QUICKLY DISAPPEARED
AS I THOUGHT TO MYSELF
I COULD BE STANDING THERE....
IN HIS SHOES

I WATCHED HIM AS HE STOOD IN POSITION
LOOKING AT ME WITH HIS TIRED EYES
REALIZING THAT THIS SYSTEM HAS...

MANGLED HIS MANHOOD
LEFT HIM FOR DEAD
STRIPPED HIM OF HIS DIGNITY

AND HE STILL HAD ENOUGH GUTS TO ASK ME...
SISTAH, CAN YOU SPARE A DOLLAR?

AS I STAND HERE REACHING AND DIGGING
TO THE DEPTHS OF MY BAG....

GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU
IS WHAT I REHEARSED

PAY IT FORWARD
LOVE FIRST
I AM MY BROTHERS KEEPER
WHAT YOU SOW YOU SHALL REAP
SO I DECIDED THAT I WANTED TO BE
THE REAPER OF A GOOD HARVEST
I WILL PLANT GOOD SEEDS

HE THANKED ME KINDLY
AFTER I PUT 4 QUARTERS AND SOME LOOSE CHANGE
IN HIS HAND
I SAID, "YOU ARE WELCOME MY BROTHA BECAUSE
I TRULY UNDERSTAND".
AND THE REALITY IS....SOME DAYS I AM
4 QUARTERS AND SOME LOOSE CHANGE FROM
STANDING WHERE HE IS

WE CALLED HER MS. SASSI
WHEN SHE WAS 18 YEARS OLD
SHE HAD SO MUCH PROMISE
"I AM GOING TO BE AN ACCOUNTANT SOME DAY".
IS WHAT SHE USED TO SAY
UNTIL...LIFE HAPPENED

SHE STARTED MOVING TOO FAST
AND GOT WITH THE WRONG CROWD
AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
HER LIFE NOW
SHE IS 35 YEARS OLD
AND THE ONLY THING SHE IS COUNTING
IS THE NUMBER OF BABIES SHE IS PRODUCING
SHE HAS FIVE.....SO FAR
AND SHE MARRIED A MAN WHO PIMPS
HER OUT TO PAY THE BILLS

I WATCH HER AS SHE BEATS THE PAVEMENT
LIKE A DOOR TO DOOR SALESMAN
TRYING TO FIND A WAY FOR HER
CHILDREN TO EAT
SEARCHING FOR THE FORK IN THE ROAD
WHERE THE ENDS MEET
PUTTING ON HER UNIFORM
DESIGNED BY HOOCHIE MAMA INC.
BECAUSE TONIGHT SHE HAS GOT TO HIT THE STREETS
AND SHE HAS GOT TO HIT THEM HARD
JUST SO........
THE $2 PIMP THAT SHE CALLS HER HUSBAND
AND HER CHILDREN CAN HAVE FOOD, A ROOF, AND A CAR

AS I WATCH HER SILHOUETTE VANISH
OF INTO THE NIGHT
A TEAR ROLLS DOWN MY CHEEK
I REALIZE THAT AS SHE GETS FARTHER AWAY
SHE IS SELLING HER SOUL TO THE MEAN STREETS
AND UNFORTUNATELY ON MY BEST DAYS
I AM 1 SOUL SELL FROM WHERE SHE IS

THESE GHETTO TALES KEEP ME GROUNDED
REMINDING ME THAT I DON'T HAVE TO BE
A PRODUCT OF MY SURROUNDINGS
AND JUST SO YOU KNOW
I'M NOT JUDGING
BUT I HAVE GOT TO BE THE CHANGE
I WANT TO SEE
AND MAYBE...IF I CAN KEEP MY LIGHT SHINING
I CAN HELP OTHERS TO SEE
ENCOURAGING THEM TO BE DREAMERS,
VISIONARIES, ENTREPRENEURS, AND BELIEVERS
HELPING TO CANCEL OUT THE DECEIVER
MAKING THE DETERMINATION THAT.....

WE WIN!!!

SO I HAVE GOT TO STAY TUNED IN
BECAUSE IN REALITY WITHOUT GOD
I AM 4 QUARTERS, SOME LOOSE CHANGE, AND
1 SOUL SELL AWAY FROM WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN
