Happiness Depends on.... but Joy doesn't and neither does Happiness...

So often we say oh if I had this I would be happy.. or if this were to happen i would be happy with the truth being if it happened you would be no happier than you are when you made the statement.... because the emptiness, the void you are trying to fill cannot be filled with material things... its an internal spiritual or mental issue that is keeping you from experiencing the happiness and joy you are longing for.. first you must know that all the joy you need in found in the Lord Jesus Christ.... secondly, that in him we have everything we need.... why are we so dependent of these outside things to make us happy.. we see other people with them.. we see them on television... or we have experienced them in some shape, form or fashion. we have to take our focus off of them.. focus on us.. within us is the happiness the joy to truly live the life we want.. to truly experience the joy that will not be broken by an empty bank account, a non-existent relationship, a dilapidated car, or a broken relationship with a parent.... in us and the Lord lies the strength we need to be happy and experience true joy.. when you are stripped naked or down to the bare essence of your heart and soul how do you feel? if the happiness or joy is not there then you are not truly happy or joyful. working on a blessed and prosperous 2010!!!!

Been Down Too Long, Don't Sell To The Lowest Bidder!

I know i know it seems as if this title doesn't make sense but it makes perfect sense.. Some of us been down so long, fighting in the trenches so long that as soon there is a ray of sunshine, someone making an offer better than the situation we are in we jump on it.. selling to the lowest bidder without even weighing or waiting on the next bidder or prospect.... so is our plight... so is our story of selling short to achieve the feeling, the temporariness of escaping our situation... we think we are escaping but selling to the lowest bidder hurts us.. it limits us.. we are not able to reach our full potential..... we have sold our soul to the one who was not meant to purchase it.. the thing is we have been down this long.. we have been fighting this long.. we have endured the pain this long.. we have been in this story this chapter of our life this long.. hold out.. continue to fight.. continue to wait.. dont sell out or sell just yet.. there is something better.. something more worth while.. someone or something that is truly willing to pay the price of your worth..... don't sell just yet.. selling too soon will only put you back in the same situation further down the line... So just because it looks good doesnt mean you have to sell.. Don't SELL!!!! DONT SELL!!!!

Changing Your Posture to Position for Your Blessing!

So often many of us blame other things for us not achieving or succeeding, yet we fail to look at our posture in the position we are in.... as I was writing my 2010 action plan I noticed that a lot of things on there I could change on my own and some of my own bitterness and misfortune came because of the posture I had taken in the situation..... For instance, I really like Houston but because of the posture I had taken I had taken myself out of position for a blessing here... I look at a lot of other people's situation and how we blame this or that but then I ask what was your posture in that situation.. did u slump down get defeated and take your lumps? did u retreat? did you go into the situation with a game plan? See your posture sets you up for your blessing... Now that I have realized this I know that I must posture myself differently in order to receive what is truly mine.... So before you blame any outside source check your posture more than likely its off....

Open Your Mouth...

Sometimes you just have to drop the fear and pride and say what you want and mean because if you dont then you might never fulfill your dreams....... Open your mouth!!!!!! I just learned that again tonight..

Happy Face....

So we have dropped the burdensome bags and told our slave owners that we are now emancipated.... guess what? put on that happy face.. today one of my slave owners tried to take back the rights to control my future... but i thought about it..... its just a tactic to send me back into the shell i once inhabited....... i wanted to respond to their childish rant.. they seem to use facebook to defame and pick mess.. the one song that came to mind was Happy Face by Destiny's Child... I cannot apologize because in the last 8 years you have done NOTHING to improve yourself and that in 8 years I have graduate college, law school, passed the TX bar and now a contributing member to society... i cannot help that your plot to destroy me did not work.... I cannot help the 10 friends you took from me turned into 100's... Slave owner its OVER!!!! Tonight is the last night.... the happy face is on..... GOD IS GOOD.. GOD Is LOVE.. and HE will make your enemies your foot stool!! Trust and Believe and watch him work... So after you have read the last word of this blog, SMILE, you are now free....

Tell Your Slave Owner.... I'm Free.....

So often there is one person or a group of people who bring such negativity.. whether its people that talk down to you.. talk about you.. manipulate you or lie to you... it harms every aspect of your life.. and what we don't realize is that in return we do the same thing to someone else... if someone manipulates us we find someone else to manipulate.. if someone brings negative energy into our life we transport that negative energy into someone else's life.... if someone uses us we in return find someone to use... if someone hurts us in a relationship we make sure the next time we hurt the person before they can hurt us therefore transferring the hurt to someone else.. how many times have we allowed our slave owner to hurt us and we in return hurt someone else? So today with the bags you began to drop yesterday begin to free yourself from the slave owner who inflicts the hurt and pain.... don't allow them to place the shackles of hurt, manipulation, and negativity in your life.. for you only have the power to free yourself.... one by one.. take the shackle off the right ankle.. then the left... then both wrist.. then finally your neck.. because the one thing that hurts you the most has you in a choke hold.... the tightest grip... has you gasping for air.. begin to fight back.. free yourself... free yourself.... fly... God gave you wings to soar not to fly at ground level.... God is LOVE...

Bag Lady... Drop Them Bags!!!!

Man, I was just relaxing in the house today and on V101 an ITUNES radio station began to play Bag Lady by Erykah Badu..... I always liked the song but never really paid attention to the lyrics.. Lo and Behold a message that I and many other people needed to hear.. Bag Lady, Bag Man, Bag Child drop all that heavy weight and BE FREE!!!!! Man a lot of us have been toting around baggage from past relationships, past jobs, past encounters, just everything that should have been left in the past... we are also carrying around bags of financial problems, guilt, love woes, and other types of worries.... one by one we should drop those bags that hold us back... that stifle us from being the free flying birds GOD created us to be.... drop the bags of expectations... the bags caring of what others think and say about us.... let the bags go..... we didnt come into the world with all those bags so we definitely should not have to pack them around.... so I am telling u... let this be that last month that you tote around all those bags... take them off one strap one bag at a time... place them behind you and never look back.... now that you have taken bag 1 off dont you feel lighter? now take bag 2 off... its like you can almost run... keep taking those bags off... you will see dropping all those bags will make you light.. carefree and a more enjoyable person.... more appreciative of the little things.. God is Love... what Erykah should have said is.... Bag People... DROP THEM BAGS... Let the people who placed them on your shoulder carry them!!!

Classic!
