Its funny that after years go by we finally get what our parents were saying. I must admit it took me a while before I truly became a man. Yes, I became a man at 18, but that was just a age thing. Anyone can hold the title of being a man, a woman, a mother , a father, a Grandfather, Grandmother, a Christian, but saying you are those things and being what you say you are is a totally different thing. I remember the things my mother and father used to always preach when they would say ," Son its…

One of the Devils biggest weapons that uses against us is dividing the family. Putting one family member against the other,husband against wife,child against parent, mother against father and friend against friend. My mother use to have an old saying," what happens in the house stays in the house". What this means if there is a problem in the house, it should stay in side the house. No one in the outside world should know about the problems, that our children are having, our husbands or wives,…

In the Garden Of Eden God, forbid man from eating from the Tree Of Life. Since then both man and woman have been indulging themselves with things that are forbidden by God. Things such as having affairs with married men and married women. Its a sin to have a affair with someone who is married and it also causes family's to break up. By getting to the root of this problem, I needed to do some research, to figure out why men and women cheat on their spouses and why do people knowingly have…

God so loved the word that he gave his only son. There is no better example of unconditional love than that, when you think about it, sacrificing your own son or daughter would be a very hard thing to do and we are humans. As humans we put conditions on our love and most of us expect something in return when it comes to love. Both men and women have the tendency to expect something in return when it comes to love. But Gods love is unconditional and he proves that by sending his only son as a…

Some people may find this hard to believe , but there is no perfect person on the Earth today. There has only been three perfect people to every walk the Earth, only only one remained perfect when they left and that person was Jesus. Now this may shock some people with my statement of there being three perfect people to walk the Earth, when everyone is being told that there was only one. But if you read or have read the Bible when God first created man and woman,( Adam & Eve) they were…

There are many ways our Father in Heaven uses people to inspire his people. Sometimes these people can be called haters, doubters,non-believers, judgmental and liars. You may ask ,how can these type of people inspire you to succeed and to do Gods work? Well first of all sometimes you need someone to say you cannot do something, just so you can get angry enough to prove them wrong. These people who doubt you, hate on you and lie on you are not very far from your heart. Because believe it or not…

Have you ever reached a point in your life when you are just tired? Tired of struggling, tired of the games,tired of all the problems, tired of the lies and just plain tired of all the bad things the world has to offer? This is when you want to give up and say Lord why am I having so much bad luck? Then you may say Lord when will my problems, troubles, my struggles end? When will I find a man or woman that will love me for me and stop playing games with my heart? You may say God I am willing to…

Last week I ran into an older lady she was about 59. She seemed to be a little troubled , then for some reason I was compelled to speak to her. I said ,"hello, how are you today" and then she replied, that she was okay, but was very tired and depressed. I asked her why, then she said because now at this stage of her life, her children were grown, she was getting old and she had no husband or no one to love her. She felt because she has been hurt many times in the past, used, lied too , been…

Here we are now in the year of 2009, a new time and a new age. Gone are the days were children honored their parents,gone are the days where husband and wives stayed together for the children and the charge that God put on them, to be together through the good times as well as the bad . Gone are the times where men open doors for the women, children respected their elders, men and women respected each other; A time where family members stayed in touch and met at grandmothers house on Sundays.…

One of the hardest journeys we make as humans is self examination, that is when we all have to take a hard look in the mirror and see who we really are. Most of us are people that are made by the expectations of others,our fathers , mothers, friends and spouses see us for what they think we are. These people might feel just because you have hair a certain length, a body that's well shaped or have had great grades in school that you are suppose to be a certain way. Its funny how people have…

Change is something ever human will experience if God had blessed you enough to live that long. As today when I watch President Elect Barack Obama, I was brought to tears and after I heard his speech I said to me son," That's a bad man and you can be anything you want to be. History was made today, in many ways, a black President, a black man singing the national anthem and people from all races coming together to revel in this moment. Thoughts are racing through my mind, because I know that so…

As children our parents would tell us what was good for us and what was bad for us. They would say things like eat your vegetables, drink your seven glasses of water, study and finish school. It was their job to prepare us for the outside world and give us the proper training needed to survive in the outside world. They made sure we ate three times a day,made sure we did our homework, made sure we got our proper amount of sleep, church on Sundays and taught us other valuable things about life.…

This journal, I write with an heavy heart,because one of the members said to me that she did not feel clean enough to be in the house of God. She said that she used to be a member of the church, until she came home one day and found he husband in bed with another woman and she felt un-clean because of her experience. Well the only thing I could say when I read her note was wow! She felt un-clean? Its wasn't her that sinned, it was her husband. So I had to get a better understanding of why she…

In a world apart from God, most of us live our life to please others and live our life according to other people expectations. We all want to please our mothers, fathers, children and friends. We often seek their advice and their counsel when we make choices concerning our life. Even when we make mistakes , we first ask them , before asking God on how to fix our problems. Its a wonder why God gets so angry with us,because he knows that he is the answer to all our prayers and troubles. I often…

There is a song that Kirk Franklin sings that have really touched me, because it reflects some of the things I have been going through as an adult. All of the joy, pain, suffering, wasted time, hurt, heart breaks, disappointments, tears ,lies and abandonment. All these things I have experience not from people of the world, but from people I have loved and people that I will always love. Its a wonder that God has protected me through all these things and kept me sane. When you been hurt so much,…
