You know that besides your real family you sometimes have another family that in time feels like a second one, right? Well this family i call my second are the most awesome people i’ve ever known and will do anything to help you out. They are people that for me are a treat to hang with, never a dull moment around them. This family is a pretty good sized family, five kids and the parents. With seven people in the house, you can most likely say that it’s never quiet nor boring. I met this family around my fifth or sixth grade year, still in middle school at the time where I am which is i guess is a okay time in school for me but enough of that school business back on track with the family. So the father, which is like a father to me…we all just love to hang out with him because he’s always got an interesting story that we are just dying to listen to and find out more and more as he gets into it. Us boys, our little so called “gang” i guess are now and have been the best of friends since day one when i met them. We grew up going to Kelly Street Baptist Church in a little community within the town we still live in. Being with friends at the church and also learning about our Lord was a great combo i must say.  Well anyways as all of us had over the course of years we went to Kelly Street Baptist had went up and asked our Lord Jesus to come into our lives and begin our journey with Him we had all begun the path in going out and being examples of Jesus Christ in the community which is just the most awesome gift anyone could ask for. Just around maybe a year or so or longer or shorter i can’t remember my “second” mother so to speak went back to church. Her son, one of my friends from that so called “gang” that i hang out with had talked to her and helped her get back into church which is just a gift from God in my opinion. Okay so now comes something that is just so touching to my heart, the father–whom we all really do look up to out of nowhere called me up today while i was just doing some homework and was telling me that his other son had to go outta town and that he was thinking about going to the church i go to tonight and was wondering if i was going. Now i will admit since it was a day of schooling i’d totally forgot about it being Wednesday and church going on later in the day so i was like i might go, he told me that he’d either way go by himself or if i went go with me so he was like well if you are gonna go just give me a call back to let me know what your doing so i said okay……..an hour or so I got ready, drove over to the house before i knew it we were hitting the road on our way for the first time together to church. I felt that this being a sign after all this took place that if we just wait, something that we may not even give a second thought about will happen. Just in that moment of him asking if i was going to church and him interested in going just opened my eyes wide open in the fact that even though we are not aware of what might happen, waiting will always bring greater things our way. It’s a sign that is to be praised about!

I am a Seeker and a Motivator
I wonder whats going to happen tomorrow
I hear a whispering voice
I see a faced shape in the sky
I want to travel through time
I am a Seeker and a Motivator

I pretend to seek something thats not there
I feel like floating on a cloud in the sky
I touch the words of God reaching out towards me
I worry of whats going to come from choices i’ve made
I cry seeing people losing their way
I am a Seeker and a Motivator

I understand God is the way
I say believe
I dream waking up to a better world
I try to show others the truth
I hope for the truth
I am a Seeker and a Motivator

When I’m down, When I am lost, When I’ve got nothing else I look for the hand reaching out to me

Some were born without love, without anyone taking notice, without giving a moment of care. Some doesn’t know what it’s like to be loved, to be thought of even though they may think of themselves as nobody’s. Many are born feeling this way, God gives everyone a second chance, God gives us love everytime we fail, God gives us more love than ever asked for from us. God loves all, given as we all sin He still has love for us in the good and also in the bad times we go through. Well God wouldn’t have sent His only Son down unto earth to give His life for us if He didn’t have love for us would He?…No God forgives us but we must show Him that we love HIm back, that once we have become a child of God to go out and become examples of Him and all He’s done, if not then all He’s done was for nothing, it is to be shown throughout the world as it’s the most gracious thing that has been done…giving us a life to live, to give us to wake up to and look forward to each day, able to worship something that is still very much alive and is in time coming back to take us with to live in peace with Him forever! Is He real? Yes very much alive and still doing great works today. Does He love you? Of course He loves all, He may not like some choices we make but He doesn’t turn His back on anyone. People are one’s who have the choice to turn their backs to Him. I a christian for 6 or so years and still counting is a proud christian and is happy to try my best to be an example to others and to show why having God mine and whoever else that wants to accept Him in our hearts is such an awesome feeling, an awesome choice that i can now look back and say WOW! nothing else is better than believing on our Lord Jesus Christ everyday and to be the very best follower I can be towards Him and all He’s done thus far. Are you ready to accept Christ into your life, into your heart and serve Him? If already a follower of Christ, are you following Him? Are you living life according to the Lord? As christian’s we must as sometimes it is tough go out and be an image of God. It’s our duty to lead others to Him, It’s us that spreads the word of God so that all are able to worship together, lifting up His as it should. God gave all for us…shouldn’t we give all we have, shouldn’t we do everything we’ve got to give our Love to Him, to return the favor…..Worship Him! It’s unlike any feeling you’ve felt before or ever will.

Like I have told everyone I am one for walking anywhere and everywhere. Sometimes it sure is good to have a partner to be along side of you. A lot of times i do though go alone not cause nobody is there to ask but I do a lot of thinking and just explore whats out there in the town i live in. Putting all this me walking around alone aside, I do ask if you think walking along side Jesus Christ is either easy or tough? You can ask yourself that question, think about it. Some or a lot will think that oh well everything is just so easy, everything will just fall into place, everything is gonna work out just perfect the way you want it to. Wrong, even though the walk with Christ is the most awesome thing that could ever happen to you in ur life..it isn’t always the easiest. I’ve had some tough trials along the way in following God but knowing that He’s there right beside me is the thing that keeps me going, keeps me holding my chin up high, and having that is something that is very special to me, going in and out of each day having that looking forward to is my way of getting through all toughness i come to face..So ask yourself, do you think walking with Jesus is easy or tough? If you haven’t accepted Him into your life, are you wondering if the path is tough…well all i can say is that It’s never which ever way you chose gonna be easy but one thing separates one from another, the Love of one…Christ Almighty!

(Looking back into the past, isn’t always easy)

As I’ve said above, Looking back into the past, isn’t always easy but it’s something we must do if we wish to fix the mistakes we’ve made and to move forward into the future. Looking ahead is scary because sometimes we are blind to what is next but also looking back is no easy task either. We all have past’s we wish not to hear, see, talk about but the past is the past and it’ll stick with us forever but the moral of it all is to look, remember, learn from it all and to make sure that we try and not end up doing those things again. The things we’ve had, we can either hang on to them or we can simply let them get away. Some things are too long gone to get back, some things are still in the present that are able to still catch onto if we go out and pursue it and then there are some that haven’t arrived just yet and those too, are scary because we have no sight to what they may be until time comes. I hate seeing things, people, gone. I hate leaving places and to never see them again. It’s sad to leave anything behind, but I can always tell people even though we may leave each other, we may leave places we wish not, we may never see or have a certain thing again we will always have Jesus Christ wherever we may go in life. Jesus isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, He’ll be our Holy Father as long as we trust, believe in Him and to look back into the past and although see wrongs, scary trials we have faced in, we can look into the past and find God there, we can look back and see how awesome God has been, how great He’s been to us though we’ve sinned…that is just something you can’t put a price on…it’s totally priceless. Cost of Earthly things=#of$ but……Cost of having Jesus in ur life=Priceless

In life we are born, as we are brought into life it’s all so big to us. As we age more each day the world seems smaller and smaller. Perhaps as we are smaller it takes longer to get from place to place. I say that life is a brilliant gift, it’s nothing to mess with. It’s something to embrace, to make special. It’s, to me something that we need to make count cause we’ve only got one chance and then it’s done. What we do in our lives don’t just effect us but ones around us, we need to show not just ourselves but others that life is much more special than just going from day to day doing nothing. We need to have a purpose, a goal, something reaching for instead of life’s so called “gold”. We do as all others do get caught up in worldly things, stuff that we seem could live without but simply go buy cause well, we think those are more important than all else. I’m not saying don’t go out and buy anything, but watch out because these things could very well take over us and make us blind to more important things in this lifetime. We’ve seen over time that we do sometimes let our earthly possessions take over us, we not now see them as just things we want, need but simply now seeing them as things we can’t live without, or a “god”. We’ve gotta look at the end of the tunnel if you will, even though on the way we may stumble upon things we see as cool, things that may give us happiness or whatever but what we forget is that we don’t take these earth gifts, possessions with us after death. What we do take at the end of the tunnel is the one and only salvation of Jesus Christ. We will take our love we have for the lord and go with Him to the heavens after death and rejoice with Him forever and ever. Things we have here on earth although are cool, nice well nothing is better than the Love, the bondage from the Lord to Us forever! Being a child of the Lord is an eternal bondage and with that is all I need, all anybody needs to be happy to go on through in this life!!

 “The Lord was ready to save me;

Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments

All the days of our life, in the house of the Lord.”

-(Isaiah 38:20)

We all have an iPod these days, being either it’d be an iPod nano, shuffle, touch we all have them to enjoy music while on the go. As over the years we’ve had many devices giving us a way to enjoy music anytime, anywhere, all the time. Music has always been a way to let people express themselves in all sorts of ways. Music is the sound of God, it’s one way to show, to express our love towards Him. You know when you are listening to an album, a song, or sets of songs that you can’t get enough of. You want to keep listening to them over and over again right?, well you just put your nice iPod on repeat and listen to your favorites all you want. God doesn’t give us music to go out and not use it for Him, we are to worship in His name. Go out and worship Him in any and all ways possible, that’s something special to my heart. Some are to become musicians, some to be writers, to be leaders, all to worship Him, to embrace His name, His story across the world to all! All things we do in our life should be an example of the Lord as He made us to be servants, followers of the Great One. Don’t you want to be an example of Him? Do you want to live a life fulfilling God’s reason for us being here? We go on in life on repeat. We go onto the next day to the next doing the same previously as before. To go around and worship with others in music, do it pleasing to the Lord. Do all things as to lift up God and not doing in any other way. So i bring this to a close but, before i do one last thought…..As an iPod on repeat goes on forever and ever, Are we ready to play loud, to where everyone is able to here God’s iPod?  Are we willing to keep God’s iPod on repeat forever and ever for all to listen?…Think about it, won’t ya.

Twenty one years ago in London, KY a new born baby boy was born. As it was earlier than expected to be born this first born child was faced with many problems, it’s lungs had shut down, being unable to be with the mother for several days. As you look at this child with all it’s tubes, it’s having wires that has been put throughout it’s body being connected to a machine to keep it alive was just something that should have to happen to such a gift like a new born life, being pre-mature, born too young as 30 days before the day of it’s birth is already being tested. I believe that things happen for a reason, to show us a lesson, to reach out to us and make us think.

What did the child do to bring such a situation as this one upon it?

Why is it happening?

….These are questions that normally run through one’s mind.

At the age of four this child and he’s father as the father, in need of a trip to get some beer since he at the time was always drinking got into the little two door red car and drove off on the way to the destination of the father. Keep in mind it’s winter and as we are coming back from the un-needed trip are driving back over a mountain and as we are in this little two door red two wheel drive car come upon on what must have been black ice but not sure and suddenly started to go out of control and then as i open my eyes back up the car is half way hanging over the edge of the mountain. As i’m scared to death had a short brief flash back of my short lived life. That was the second near to death experience previous to the lung shutting down and being announced dead for at least five minutes, talk about have the most odd luck in such an early life span. As this child growing up had seen, been through already so much and well as most do he just went along with life. Living in earthly ways, just going with the flow having a good time as all does, knowing that all is only possible with the love of God doesn’t much give thought to how to repay back.

Luke 6:38 says….

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

We should give back to our Lord as He’s given everything for us. We should be thankful for such a God to love us that much that we repay Him any and all ways possible we can. As we live another day we should thank Him for it. As we have a roof over our heads, as we have food to eat we should give thanks to our great Lord. We take so many things for far more less than they really are.

Twenty One years later I as the child born 30 days early sits here wondering, I now look and give thanks for God giving me another chance. Another chance to go out and do what we all should do, should want to do and that is to let people hear about the great Jesus Christ and what’s he’s done for you in your life. We all have stories that’s been blessed, that’s been touched in some way that is only special to you, let your story out of how the Lord blessed ya and tell of how great God is and blessed are those will be!

Twenty One Years gone by, I now give back to God for giving me such a blessed journey so far my obedience to Him, to serve Him in the best possible way to keep His name as strong as ever before…..Whats your life’s story?

With a hand of another caring person on your shoulder, doesn’t it give us that safe feeling, the love feeling, the not so alone anymore feeling? It sure does give us all those i mentioned. When your alone it’s no fun and games, it’s totally a boring and useless day to day life huh? I hate when i take a walk/run anywhere and just look around and see people so down and walking alone, it’s something that needs fixing..they need a hand to be put on their shoulder’s to give them hope, a need of keep going on, pushing through it all in life. I may just have an answer to this long thinking process, it’s a five letter name that can help these in need. Everyone is like huh a five letter name and this name can help me through life, get me to keep going through the hard times in life…yes! This little five letter name might look small but is so much bigger than what the mind, the eyes see that’s beyond our dreams….okay it’s Jesus! The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost three, but one being that can make feel with one, makes us feel like we can get geared up, ready to take on the world. He’s done  it all and God…GOD! gave His ONLY(one) Son to die on the cross for all of us so that we may one day be saved and to go out into this broken, dark world and spread this magnificent Light upon it and to bring Joy to His name once again! Doesn’t that just scream out at you? It does to me. We are to give our all for Him, to Him as He has given us everything. Going back to having a hand being placed on our shoulders in hard times, when we are faced with hard choices, if you do seem to wonder well there’s nobody around…think again God’s always here to give a hand on our shoulders if we just accept Him as Lord and Savior and in doing this God with His mercy will get us through the times that seem difficult to us. We must communicate, spread the word, we must obey Him in giving back is the gift of being here, it’s being the reason for breathing the air why we must go out and not follow in the earths steps but we must step onto the side and lead others to come with us as we go out there and serve the creator of the Heavens and of The earth! So want a helping hand to come and touch your shoulder? Ask God to come into your life, to bless you.
