It hurts, but I'm healed

Back when I was 12 years old, I broke my clavicle while playing little league football. That was the most excruciating pain that I have ever experienced this side of heaven.  I traveled from the football field to my dad's car, from my dad's car, to our house, from our house to the hospital. I was heavily sedated which allowed  the surgeons to aligne my collarbone. Once they did that, my arm was placed in a cast. After all that, I didn't think I would recover or make it through...so here I am 28 years later.  Just this morning I had sharp pains streaking through that same shoulder that I broke 28 years ago.  One would think that after things got better or when healing takes place the painful memory would go away....the truth of the matter is, it doesn't.  I have not learned how to ignore the pain, but rather how to face it and overcome it.  Overcoming it means that I refuse to allow what happened to me be the reason I give up and throw in the towel. You may not have experienced what I did, but whatever or whoever  caused you pain can only hold you captive if you let them. Release the pain....it hurts sometimes, but you're healed...get better not bitter.

Selfie

Our generation has fallen in love with taking pictures of itself and interestingly enough we call them "selfies" - Have we fallen in love with ourselves or is it just a simple post of a picture?  I mean do we forget what we look like after we look in the mirror? Do we even look in mirrors anymore? I wouldn't be surprised if they start building homes without mirrors....I mean a selfie is actual proof that we are swiftly moving in a direction in which all that men, women, boys and girls desire is right in the palm of their hands. It's their hand which symbolizes total control or individuals becoming self sufficient or selfish....oh there it is, "selfie" could it be that we love ourselves more than we love God? I read, "In the last days difficult times will come, people will become lovers of themselves,  lovers of money,  boastful,  proud, abusive, disobedient to parents,  ungrateful...." that says a lot, but the part I focused on was "lovers of themselves" - everything else is relevant too -  Is this generation  obsessed with itself?  Selfish people seldom share or think of others...and hold their phones to close to their face to see what anyone else is saying...selfish selfies secretly satify someone that's afraid to look in the mirror.

The Battle Still Rages

My flesh and my spirit are still at war.

Will there ever come a day when it will be no more?

Will my flesh constantly knock at my spiritual door?

I must be strong until I reach my heavenly home.

My feet are planted on holy ground.

My flesh is angry because Christ abounds.

I have no plans on going back.

This is a state of emergency, I'm under attack.

I have to keep my head straight.

I'm tryin to walk through those pearly gates.

Until I reach my heavenly home,

I guess my flesh will attempt to roam.

In life there are many stages,

I guess that's why the battle is still raging.

...If I Don't Pray

If I don't pray I can't sleep...
If I don't pray I'm incomplete...
If I don't pray I can't stand firm...
If I don't pray the enemy's roar makes me squirm....
If I don't pray I become weak...
If I don't pray I struggle to forgive and turn the other cheek...
If I don't pray life would be like a mystery & I'd have no clue...
If I don't pray I wouldn't know what to do.

Dear Mr. Officer.....

Police brutality, unfortunately has become a reality stretching as far as New York to Cali. We know it doesn't speak to the majority but the minority is rotten to the core...that's what we see...can't ignore reality. The truth of the matter is the utter disgust,  when you take out your frustration on one of us. When I say us I am speaking of those of African descent...most of us are just out here trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents...your aggressive approach is actually condescending when in fact its your hand you should be lending. Who else has to die before something is done? I've watched several videos on YouTube and I am just done. Talk sensibly to us without thinking we have an agenda because with police brutality there are no winners. #STOP IT MOVEMENT

The Battle Rages

"My flesh and my spirit...a constant war...it's sort of like a tug-a-war...in my spirit I want worship, but flesh wants to ignore...the whisper of my Father in heaven...how clear and plain it is, but my flesh would rather stay congested with day to day affairs...my spirit seeks the word of God and loves Him everyday, but my flesh wants to have its own selfish way...the more I give into the flesh the more strength it gains in me...I do not want to quench the Holy Spirit that lives inside of me...Christ resides in my heart, I am a new being...a new spirit was given to me when I accepted JC...until I reach my home in glory, I guess this here will be my story...in life there are many pages, I guess that's why the battle rages"
