My Yoke is Easy my burden is LIGHT

When life throws you a curve ball do you swing and try to hit a home run or do you let it go by and hope the umpire calls it a ball instead of a strike. Sometimes it's good to let  the pitcher throws 4 balls and makes it easy for you to just walk to first base.

In life sometimes we find ourselves in situations that can be very stressful and traumatic. We find ourselves having difficulty holding on to our peace and joy, because we are constantly feeling the need to please people and live up to their desires and wishes for our life. Sometimes we find ourselves living to please others and we forget about ourselves.  God sees right through all of this he want’s us to be at rest. He says that my yoke is easy and my burden is light. The word says that he never gives us more than we can bear, but with the temptation he always gives a way of escape. 

God’s plan for our lives is that we will prosper and be in good health. But sometimes like Jonah we go off into places and things that GOD never called us to be involved with. And then at times it feels like we are being thrown overboard because we don’t fit in that place or circumstance that we got ourselves into. But God is gracious and merciful he doesn’t leave us in a place that’s not for us he moves us into what he has for us. He encourages us to use our talents and gifts. The word says our gifts will make room for us.  We are to work with the talents and gifts that He has given to us. There is a particular anointing that GOD wants us to flow in where is doesn’t require us to strive or work so hard at. It’s an anointing that cause us to move with ease and flow naturally with our gift. Anytime we find ourselves constantly striving or dealing with so much frustration and heartache then that thing is not for us. We are not called to be in a place of confussion or strife we are called to a place of peace and joy. 

A place where the fruits of the Spirit are abundant.  Move into that place that GOD has for you. It’s a place where he said if you abide in me and I in you then you will bear much fruit. He says you are the vine and I am the branches. Stay connected to the True Vine!

Where this plane will take me? Only God knows.

Sometimes in life you never know what twists and turns may come your way. We must do our best to allow GOD to be our piolot and we just need to enjoy the ride. Yeah that's how I feel right now. Sometimes we like to be in control of everything that's going on in our life, but it doesn't always work like that. People have been asking me so many questions after seeing previews of me on the VH-1 TV show I'm Married to a... I can't say I have all the answers for you, but on this blog I will respond to what you have seen on the show and maybe this can be a place where we can dialogue about it. One thing I want everyone to know is that I'm trusting God to continue His great work in me. Regardless of what you see or hear about me, remember that He isn't done with me yet.

So many times we as Christians act like we are to live in this Christian bubble where we can't talk about real life issues. Sometimes we live in this religious world where we speak a lot of Christianeese and we don't speak about how we are really feeling. When in reality people are dealing with so many struggles that we don't address enough in the church community. So what happens is that people are sometimes left to deal with their struggle all alone because they feel they haven't found a safe place where they can work through their personal struggles.

I thank God that he has surrounded me with some safe people in my life who I'm able to pray with and talk with. And that they don't come at me in a condemning or critical manner. They are in touch with their own weaknesses and struggles so they are able to speak to me in love and encourage me. At this point I haven't even seen the final edit of the show, I've only seen previews of it. It's scheduled to air tonight. It's a weird feeling knowing that I will be on a show that will be aired around the world. I have mixed feelings about it due to the nature of the topic on the show. Ultimately I know God is able to help me represent Him on this  journey.

Well it's count down time and my life will be changed in a major way. I'm reminded of the word that Prophet Jamel gave me over the phone the other day. Mind you he didn't even know I was filmed by VH-1. The Prophetic word was ... "God said He's about to put you on speed dial, It's like your name will be blown in the wind and all will know you in a flash. Your on E now but God's about to take you to the gas station and fill you up." I will share more of the word as time goes on but basically the point is that my life will change quickly and the person that I once was will evolve into the greatness of who God has called me to be.

Giving out

I continue to give out of myself my time, my resources, my knowledge, my life. It's just how God made me and it's a beautiful thing. I must admit that it hurts at times especially when I give to others who spitefully use me and slander my name falsely. I know we wrestle not against flesh and blood and God has given us authority over these unseen forces that come against His children. God continues to use me inspite of all the things the enemy has tried to do to tear me down. Children are still blessed through my life and ministry and they are able to benefit from the fruit that exudes from my life. I know that it's always more blessed to give than to receive and that even though it feels like I'm not receiving much back in return for my gifts on earth it's ok. I know I'm storing up riches in heaven where no theif can rob, no rust can destroy. It's really not all about that for me though. I'm human like everyone else and sometimes people take advantage and think that they can do whatever they want and that God will turn a blind eye to their abusive ways. The word says touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm. I'm truly His annointed and although the kingdom of God suffers violence the violent take it by force. So when the enemy comes in like a flood the Spirit of the Lord lifts up a standard against Him and says no further. He protects His children and bestows a blessing on them. I'm so thankful and grateful for what he has done and will continue to move as he guides me into bringing His Kingdom here on earth. A wounded war

Lights Cameras Action

They want it televised. LOL. It's like its happening so fast. How do I keep up? I have all these things to do but I'm only one man. I can only be in one place at a time physically yet more than one place digitally. TV cameras, lights, microphones, decorations, film crews and business contracts. Yeah it's really happening. It feels so unreal but it's really going down. The world will be amazed when it's aired on TV. Love Drama Faith Music Hope Pain Life. Yeah, I can't put it all in one post or sentence it's too much to describe at one time so I'm just going to release bite size pieces.

Wow how did I get here.

In spite of my faults and short comings He's faithful. He loves me and you just the way we are but loves us so much that He doesn't want to leave us the way we are. God has a great future for us. I'm so thankful that He who began a good work in me is faithful to complete it. The future is so close yet feels so far away at times. It's just around the corner although it feels its around the world. I choose to trust GOD and not worry. Worry only wears me down and distracts me from being productive. Yeah I'm giving you a glimpse into my mind which is the battle ground. It's the place where we can choose to live in victory or settle for defeat. Well I've never been one to settle so in the heat of the battle I continue to fight the good fight. I've been through the fire and I'm going through the flood and I know God is taking me into a place of abundance although I don't fully see how. I'm truly in a season of my life where I must live by faith not by sight. All that I see around me is so unreal and all that GOD has in store for me is so magnificent.
