Who am I?


People! What can you really say about them?  Just when you think you have found someone you can trust, love, people you really consider family; I have learned who you really think I person is they can deceive you.  The saying “people become who they hang around is true”; some people call it finding their self but only they can make that call.  I have only lived 20 years, and that is something that I have found to be so true; “You attract who you are.”  Negativity is like a leech, sucking and thriving off of other people.  In a negative situation you think that insanity would kick in if it constantly brought the same results.  It’s said when you can’t trust the few that you thought you would always be able to. 
Some say I’m crazy; but being a negative constant is a reflect of the person that truly is within.   It’s a shame in my opinion.
Here we live in a New Testament Community well we are called to that standard.  People are human; we make mistakes which is understandable.  But at some point and time “US” as humans are supposed to be held accountable to that standard of living.  Which requires us to check our egos, deny ourselves and truly realized what we called to do and what we are doing with our lives. But everyone has their own opinions, but which will you choose.
One thing that helps me stay focused and positive are having core values to live by.  Recently I discovered mine,  something I pattern my life by and help encourage myself by at the same time.   Faith, Family, Integrity, Trust and Passion, I challenge you to find Core Vaules apply them to your life and live by them.

Spend some time


Exams, Papers!!  That’s enough to make anyone go crazy right.  Well this week was final week and it took a toll on my body.  Theology and Foundations for Western Civilization are probably two of the hardest classes I have ever had to take.  But I finished strong and with excellence and receiving an A in Western Civ and  1 point shy of an A in Theology.  But throw the busyness and the craziness I was able to connect and spend valuable time with people that have a lot to give and offer.  Saturday me and one of my brothers (Clarence) spent the day with an elder couple.  That time we spent meant the world to them literally, lol they said it about a hundred times.   Sometimes you don’t have to go out or be in a big crowd or do something spectacular to make a impact on people.  Just be yourself and allow your presence to be enough, which is what we did.  We had a dinner, had great conversations, watched t.v, and then for some strange reason at 9 o’clock at night they had the urge to walk around the neighborhood; Haha personally I thought it was crazy but we all enjoyed ourselves.  That is something that I learned. Serving doesn’t have to always have to be physical giving.  It can be spending time with people as well.
