Sometimes that one you thought would be there, WON'T, and that one you thought wouldn't be there, IS. You just never know about people, but you can always count on JESUS.

I've learned how to live holy. I've learned, I've learned, I've learned how to live right. I've learned, I've learned, I've learned how to suffer. For if I suffer, I will gain eternal life. But when I see Jesus, Amen. Talking about the one that died for me, died out there at Calvary, Amen. All of my suffering, my disappoints, they'll all be over. For when I see Jesus, Aaa, Amen...

Word for today...

per·se·ver·ance. ~ [ˌpərsəˈvirəns] ~ NOUN ~ 1.steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success:

Do that...

Tell your dilemmas ~ YOU ARE DISMISSED. Tell your enemies ~ STEP ASIDE. Tell your valley ~ I'M COMING THROUGH. Tell your mountaintop ~ I'M ON MY WAY.

#ImComingOutBetter #GOoDNight

More of our children are in an emotional funk, a spiritual slumber, nothing motivates or moves them besides base things. They are not afraid of much of anything and have little regard or respect for any type of authority, or value of the aged. Lord have mercy. Save Jesus, renew hearts and minds towards righteousness. Help Lord God.

Word for today...

priority ~ NOUN ~ 1.a thing that is regarded as more important than another: 

Be sure your priorities are right for this season and then be sure your practices/patterns/perceptions/partnerships are in line with those priorities. If not ADJUST.

Be Strong....

God uses broken folk to build, poor folk to enrich, pitiful folk to do powerful things. You ain't so messed up that God CANNOT do miraculous things through you. #HereAmI #SendMe #IllGo #UseMeLord

Father forgive us for failing our children, teaching them to value possessions over people, encouraging them to pursue personal happiness even if it hurts others, failing to righteously teach about respecting others, authority, or boundaries, failing at helping them learn self control and righteous sacrifice in serving others, failing at teaching them to know YOU. Father forgive us and help us get it right.

Just for you...

I will cross the expanse of time and eternity, just for you. Give up heavenly glory to come down and suffer, just for you. Lay down my life, taking your place on the cross, and die, just for you. That you might live and so that I would show you beyond any shadow of doubt, my love for you is deep and true. And I did all of this, just for you.

Signed, LOVE... ‪#‎GodIsLOVE‬

Purpose in your purpose...

Be advised. God uses HIS servsnts in different ways, for different seasons, on different levels, to differing degrees. While all have purpose, all may not have the same purpose. Let each discover their own purpose in the Lord and fulfill it for the Lord. Be careful in thinking everyone should be doing what you do, how you do it, where you do it. Let God be God and use HIS people as HE purposes them. Even if it don't make sense to you.

I can't breathe...

I can't breathe

For the weight upon me

The weight of misunderstanding

The weight of distrust 

The weight of disparate expectations

The positive, the negative

The self given, the world driven

I can't breathe

Shackled by sin 

Shackled by men

Shackled to yesterday 

Shackled to perception

Shackled to distorted images

Shackled to cold reality

I can't breathe

Frustrated by slow progress

Saddened by societal regress

Boggled by so much to digest

Ashamed of the lack of respect

Trying to walk circumspect

Always under the microscope

I can't breathe

Father God I look to you

My creator, my sustainer

Breathe on me, breathe through me

Breathe in me, breathe for me

Whenever I'm gasping for life and 

I can't breathe

Grandma's Quilt...

She took the broken pieces, some tattered, some torn, some well worn, sewed them together stitch by stitch and made a masterpiece, lovingly and beautifully adorned.

She took her time to get it just right, she sewed and she sewed, both day and night. Her endeavor of love was done with the utmost detail and dexterity, with all her might.

She took the broken pieces, some tattered, some torn, some well worn, sewed them together stitch by stitch and made a masterpiece, lovingly and beautifully adorned.

What I didn't know is that while she did sew, that cover was from an uncovering of her life, the time, the trials, the tears, the troubles, the toil, and the strife.

She took the broken pieces, some tattered, some torn, some well worn, sewed them together stitch by stitch and made a masterpiece, lovingly and beautifully adorned.

Whether jubilation or tribulation, it was all a part of her education. The school of life taught her to turn a mess into a blessing and pass on her lessons to the next generation.

She took the broken pieces, some tattered, some torn, some well worn, sewed them together stitch by stitch and made a masterpiece, lovingly and beautifully adorned.
