here
I had to record
something for you today
because I had one of
those moments where
I was about to
jump up out of my skin
it's amazing the
things that god can do
in your life
when you seek him with
all your your
heart mind body and soul
and you put forth the
effort to improve
yourself
I have conversations
with people that
I’ve known for years
and it's amazing how
some of the people
that that have known me
for a long
period of time
they know that who there
has to be a god
because she was a
handful back in the
day
and then there are those
uh you know
that I've known
uh more intimately um as
far as family
is concerned and they're
like oh well
you used to do this you
used to do that
and all I can say is
well ain't god good
because if he can save
me honey
I know he can save you,
but you know
seek to improve yourself
and you can't
worry about the things
that other people
say about you because
sometimes people
want to take you back to
the person that
you were
because it will force
them to take a
look at themselves and
want to improve
themselves
I give all the glory to
god because I
was
I was a handful back in
the day you know
but take the time to
look within yourself and
see areas where
you can improve
you know god has the
ability to change a
person instantaneously
and
you'll be amazed that
once god turns
that light on you'll
wake up one day and
your mind will no longer
be the way that
it once was
because he's going to
give you the tools
and equip you
with the attributes and
characteristics
that you need to move in
the direction
he's taking you in
you know for a long time
in my youth I
can remember and I’m not
ashamed of it
you know
uh being beat daily you know,
and I would
sit up in class
in elementary junior
high and even in
high school
and my mind was not
focused on school
you know
it's amazing how
children you know they
mimic
the behavior and the
things they see
their parents do and the
things that go
on in their household
but god is good because
god you know he
has the ability to fix
things within you
you know if you're
broken and you need
to heal god can fix
those things I’m a
testimony to that
you know so try to
expose your children
to things that are
positive you know
children misbehave, and
they say and do
things that probably
aggravate you and I
don't have any and I’m
grateful
because god has other
things planned for
me children are not in
my future unless
I adopt
but you know sometimes
children do bad
things if you tell a
child they're bad
they will think they're
bad you know I
am mindful to use
certain words with
children because they
remember the things that
you tell them
you know maybe they are
being bad at
that moment but I prefer
to use the
words like
your behavior is not uh
positive at this
moment or your behavior
is not
in line with what I
would like to see
you be doing
you know because
children remember if
you tell a child or a
person something
long enough
they believe those
negative things about
their self but god can
be trusted to
hear your mind make you
stronger than
anybody
you know anybody but
you know it's it's a
it's a wonderful
thing seek ye first the
kingdom of god
and all his
righteousness and all will
be added to you
because if not for god I
would probably
be dead
you know I have been
known to take some
risks in my time
and in my travels for
the last five
years I have
learned so many things
being exposed to
other cultures
and learning about other
religions
because there's more than
one truth
but it's what resonates
with you your
foundation
you know walk in the
spirit of the lord
and the spirit knows
notices things that
the flesh doesn't the
spirit and the
flesh are always in
constant conflict
the devil the prince of
the air comes to
steal kill and destroy
if the holy
spirit speaks to you and
tells you to do
something
trust in the holy spirit
because he that
is within is greater
than she that is within
the world have a
blessed and wonderful
thirsty and I hope
this uplifts you in in
some way because
it show get uplift me
have a blessed and
wonderful Thursday
