All Up in the Business!

First of all if you don't like what I'm about to write then too bad. This blog is to speak my mind and make the expression  of how I feel. So, I made a life changing decision in my life and so I get nothing  but opposition from every side. This is family or whoever else. Some people haven't really revealed themselves.  But, it's always the case that people can't genuinely be happy for you and that's okay. At the end of the day check up under your own hood and get out of mine. I know you mean well but still this doesn't mean you can criticize what I do with my life.  It's like you spend all of that time checking under what's going on with me that you may miss out on your life and then when you end up in hell or wherever don't say nothing. Stop  concentrating on my life and concentrate on yours. If I make mistakes this is life and we live and we learn. Everything for the most part is a trial and error process. If it's not one thing , then it would be another thing. I  can't stay concentrating on your opinion because at the end of the day whatever become in life is my choice. Just remember that it's my life and not yours. I am going to be successful, I expect great things for my life, so much so that I act like I am better than what I am at times. This is not for you  to keep pecking your beak in my seed but to peck your own beak in your own seed. I can't stand the fact that everyone is just minding mine, why don't you mind yours. If this offends, you then too bad so sad and I don't care if you catch an attitude and don't talk to me. I care about my happiness and I'm not going to be miserable on account of you. I refuse to do so, I'd rather be happy than to be miserable. I've been down this road way too many times before and even though in those situations it happened to be correct, this time you are wrong.  Look at the quote and let it marinate in your mind. Be happy and remember that it's my life and don't forget about it. I will always make choices that you will disagree with but it's my decision. I choose to believe to have enough faith that things will change and that is why I am where I am at this moment. Don't get it twisted, I love you, but don't be all up in the business! This is  why I'm to myself and don't say anything to no one but a few people. The less people around, the better.

Valentine's Day: Real Love

Hey everyone,
Once again I'm here to write about something that everyone is probably wondering about. It's Valentine's day today and I'm seeing a lot of people writing that they don't have one. But, I'm also seeing that people are writing that they don't need a valentine and God is their valentine. I commend you girls because Valentine's day is a man made holiday. Though it seems like I don't have a valentine, this year I do but I am so proud to discuss on this blog what real love is. A man can try as much as he can to satisfy you, but the real man is JESUS. He's the one and only one for God is love and it says this in the word of God. I came to tell you and to talk how God's love is real love because He loved us so much that he gave his only begotten son. He gave us the greatest love of all. Whitney Houston sings a song " The Greatest Love of All." It talks of loving ourselves and this is true too. We can truly love ourselves because we know that God loves us and there is nothing greater than having that assurance. When we are able to love God , we then can love others. I usually have a valentine on valentine's day and there was actually one time in which I had no one. I felt some type of way, but then because of God's love, I can accept whether I have someone or not. The person that I have now is very blessed to have me in his life and I am blessed as well to have him in my life. Our love won't be able to flourish without God's love for  us and us having that love for Him. We won't be able to function and our relationship won't be able to reach levels if we don't have Jesus within us. We need to portray that love to others and show what Christ is all about. God's love is unconditional, you can turn your back on Him and He will still love you with open arms. That's how MY God is and He won't ever judge you for what you've done like man, He will forgive you time and time again. Valentine's day is everyday with those we love and with God. Valentine's day is not one day that we can just forget about when the day is over. I love how much I've grown because I love Christ and I love serving others. I love to do the will of God and that's what I want for my life. God sent someone to me because of this reason, when he knew the time would be right for me and that person to finally come as one. I will tell you this my valentine and I dated in High School and we were at points in our lives where we weren't ready to be together yet. But, now we have come to a point in our lives where we can be together and flourish. We can minister to the people in this world together and show the people how great God's love is through our love that He has given us. Real love is God's love don't forget that and God will send that person to you when the time is right because there is a season to everything in our lives, so that person that you are with may not even be yours forever. Time is short and life is short. Let's make it worthwhile by accepting real love: God's love into our hearts . Once you accept Him, you will never be the same and you will with know that the decision you made will be the right one. God is love. No greater love has ever been portrayed than His. He died for us so that we may have eternal life and spend it with Him. He will be glorified and magnified either way why not today?

Hit and Hit Hard: Blizzard of 2013 "Nemo"

It started on Friday during the day as just snow even though it was said that it's supposed to rain.  The snow was coming down and coming down hard. I was on my way to school when it happened too. The meterologist on the news said that it would be 12-16 inches here in Nassau County, but Suffolk County would get more than Nassau County. It was crazy because I still had to go to work and I was traveling via public transportation and walking once getting off the bus. So, I was hoping to go home after because it seemed like it wouldn't even give up. It was getting worse and worse when I was on my way to work. It was first like ice rain or something and then became snow right after that when I was walking towards work. It was trending on Facebook too. One of the people that I knew said it was raining in one town and then snowing in another. I really wanted to go home while I was at work, I wasn't sure if I would have rehearsal or whatever other things that I had going on. When I finally saw that they sent word that things would be canceled, I was so happy. I got to home and relax for once in my life. It was cool because I slept and what not. I believed that this storm came because it was a build up of the snow that we lacked this winter season and this winter season is much colder than last year's winter season. On Saturday, there was nowhere to go either because things were crazy outside and thanks to the hardworking people in my house, our driveway/walkway was cleared really nicely. But, I will say this: my block ended up being horrible they plowed or whatever but the road was so bumpy because it was icy from the temperatures.  It is still bad anyway and it is now raining today after all of that snow. I can't say that  the rain in this case helps because due to the temperatures being below freezing the water in the streets are sure to turn to ice in the night. This is not good for the commute for people who are driving to work and even the buses. I just hope that it improves because it seems just like two years ago that this snow is here to stay. They are now saying that Valentine's day that there is chances of snow occurring too. This won't be good for some of you who have plans. I don't have plans; at least not on Thursday. Some people are still suffering  in other places due to the unplowed roads on their street. There were some outages but not as great as with the effects of Hurricane Sandy. There was more preparation this time because instead of LIPA, National Grid took over and LIPA had to take a backseat to National Grid.  I will show you some photos of my block and also mountains of snow in the church parking lot(at the end of this blog). I was also sent some pictures of what it looked like in Jericho but I didn't keep them unfortunately. I just hope that they get the unplowed roads of snow done because people are once again affected by yet another storm.

Graced with Poetry

On February 6, 2013, we had a read in at school for American American Studies. It is black history month so that was a great way to start the month off. There are many read ins within the country and I just happened to be in one and it was a great thing according to one of professors at school. I did agree with the very statement that she said as well. We were graced with poetry by  Children's writer and poet Samantha Thornhill. The way she was dressed was so afrocentric; I loved all of it and she was basically matched how she was dressed. She performed many poems that were hers as well as her favorites. It was cool to hear a poet so down to earth. She teaches upcoming actors at Julliard and that is really cool. In the end, I ended up purchasing her cd full of poems that were odes in fact. The name of  the cd is Odelicious poems and I got her autograph too, which is really nice. I told her she must have been practicing because it is a  signature that no one can copy. That's the type of signature you should have and want so that when you sign documents and whatever else you do, you actually have a signature that's all your own and is unique. So, I got that and posted it too. There will be a photo of what I have described in this blog.  I was just so inspired by the way she recited her poetry and how she made you hang on to every word. She seems very young too and she goes on the Q train : herself and some others and basically do what she does. She doesn't even do it for me and they are trying to do it in other places she said. She will be doing it in Bryant Park this weekend she said but I' m not sure about that one due to the weather that we will be having on Saturday. But, I'm thinking to take a trip on the Q train on purpose just to see if she will end up on that train one day and I will be happy to purchase something again and to get it autographed again.  It was such a blessing to be graced by this poet with her poems and other poems  that inspired her in some way. Samantha Thornhill told us how poetry is everywhere and you can make a poem about an inanimate object as if it has a voice.  It was really cool because she talked about a balloon that was in the street and how it  was being ran over by cabs and other cars leading up to its death. She made things seem like they have a voice with poetry. It has inspired to write poetry again not just when I'm angry but anything that is out there tangible intangible animate inanimate it doesn't matter. As long as I am breathing I have a voice, she said something on the lines. She was also saying that she's not a person who writes when angry that's not when she does her best work. Her work is great and I listened to the cd this morning while in the shower and some of the poems she performed at school and others she did not. She did have language in her poems like some of them, but not all and I guess it gives it even greater emotion to do. You can feel the emotion in every single one  of the poems that she wrote and even the ones that she didn't write you can feel it as well. I was grateful to be apart of something that has a legacy behind it and I intended to look up these things for the future too.

Being Apart of an Organization that's about Kingdom Building

Hello everyone so if you didn't know I am a servant of the Most High God. I am going to tell you about what it is like about being apart of something that will make a change or a difference of the lives of mankind. It is especially great when it is done for God. It isn't easy though I can say because you will face opposition at the worst times but I will tell you what that it is all worth it in the end. It is crazy especially when you make that decision to take a leadership role within the organization. But, in all honesty I can't complain because it is great to meet others that are in the body of Christ and who are willing to go for the same goal that you are. It is hard when you have those who are not as committed or they have the wrong spirit. In this ideal, you would fast and pray for the organization or the thing that you are apart of and trust and believe that God will work it out for your good. I can say that being part of an organization has its ups and downs because we are all human and we get an attitude and our personalities. We tend to forget who we are doing it for and the reason why we intended to do it in the first place. I have learned that those people that are a hindrance at that point in time, there haven't matured yet and realize that it is not them and that there is a bigger picture. It has always been something that I wanted to do and it didn't become fulfilled until college days. In High school, I was apart of a few organization that were about kingdom building, but they did not take flight when I was there. I will say though that one of the organizations that I was in during High school took flight and I saw that for myself when I came to one of the events that they had. When working for God, it does get rough because the enemy is always on your case and you know that you are doing something right when he gets on your case. If he's not on your case, then you should be very worried because that just means that he's already got you.  So, I go to say that if you want to proclaim the goodness of Jesus Christ who took the sins of this world just for us, do it and do it wholeheartedly. He doesn't need people that are going give half it's all or nothing and He means business. God wants zealous, passionate people who will go for broke on His behalf. You do just what He wants and you will be blessed for it, trust me with Him you're in good hands. Just know that being apart of an organization that's about kingdom building is not easy, but in the end it is all worth it for His glory.
