Why do we box God in.

Let me open it like this. We prevent God from providing us with what we need. When we worry, spiritually, we place God in this box, letting him know that he has no power over worldly things. God is clever with revealing himself. In Matt 6: 25, God reminds us that the bird neither sow nor reap, but God still feeds them. Then he asks, are we not worth much more then birds. We need to remember who has power over everything. Stop boxing God in and allow him to be your provider.

Dear Love,

Dear Love,

So many of us spend years trying to find you. We try to find you in books, we try to buy you with money. We try to understand who you are through music. We even try to synthesize you over the world wide web! The issue is!!! We're looking for you in all the wrong places.

"How you gon look fo sumthin ain ye ain even kno wat it look like?!"

Before you search, you must familiarize yourself with the identity of Love. You must also be aware of the origin of Love.

Now a days, church folks specialize in turning things into a cliché. But I gotta take you back to the source. Where do we learn to love from? TV?(all a dem soaps), Music? Internet? (All a dem Social Networks), Our Parents?(If you have any). This answer can be a mystery. I know for me it was. I grew up in a single home for a while(My father passed when I was 6), and when another dude stepped into the equation, it still felt like a single parent situation if you know what I mean. The only love I knew growing up was the love that my mom showed me by working hard to feed me, provide a roof over my head, and keeping the lights on. As I got older, I began to realized that love was being confined in this "work-hard box." I was lost! Here I was in my late teens/early adult years wandering aimlessly trying to figure out this love thing.

To make a long journey short,out of frustration, I came to the word of God with the absence of outside influence (The Church, cause they can make things sound cliche sometimes). I realized what I was look for was Christ himself. Everything that we need in somebody, we find it in Christ! When when we take time to understand Christ's character, we will have an accurate understanding of Love. The Identity of Love is Christ. Bottom line:This discovery was found in the word of God.

In conclusion, open up God's word! Seek to understand Christ's character. Fall in love with him. When you do that your search for love will end. God Promises if you seek his him, everything else(that husband/wife) will fall in its right place.(Matt 6:33).

Waking up From Blogging Hybernation!

2012

         I think now that the summer is here, I can finally allocate some time to my blogger. I know I've been very disconnected from you all (My 7 followers). Forgive me for failing you again world, but I am here to "attempt to make it up to you all!

UPDATES:

So this is what's been keeping me away from posting!!!!

But that shouldn't be a problem because NOW........

Yes, I graduated from oakwood university this past may. It was long overdue folks. This past semester has been rough with all of the responsibilities of being a Full-Time Student, a Full-Time Musician, a Full-Time Boyfriend, and a Part-Time APPLE INC specialist. Can you imagine the how a typical day with my social security number would be. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone! (I Promise). But you know guys, God knows the amount of weight I can carry. The obstacles he brought me through not only brought us closer, but increased my capacity to carry out his work! I feel stronger and my faith in him is at an all-time high. I've learned not to worry about things of this world. I have a new found desire to seek His ultimate will in my life. This past school year, my mind clutched on this this piece scripture found in God's Holy Word:

Matthew 6:33

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

You see folks, we tend to let the things of this world  trouble us, but you got to remember that God has it all worked out for us. We need to stop relying on what self can do and leave it in the hands of God. All that God requests is that we take the time to get to know Him for who He really Is. The more we seek God, the more you will realize that things are falling in place in your life. This past semester, I owed oakwood a over $2,500 with a side of classes that needed to be retroactively added from 2009 that amounted to $8,000. I don't have the best GPA, I'm not a US citizen, and times are rough for family contributions. To make a long story short, I financially clear for grad the day before commencement. Look at GOD showing off Y'all, Nuff Said!!!

As a grad-gift to myself, I decided to book a trip to my birthplace, Montreal, Canada. The Trip was awesome y'all! I need y'all to understand that this was the first real vacation I've ever taken in real life. I've been in this vicious cycle of work, school, and Gigs for the past 6 years of my life. It was very refreshing to leave the country and not have to worry about waking up to prepare for work, or toting around a heavy keyboard for a gig! I left on the June 6th and spent 6 days. I also took my Girlfriend with me to meet my family. Oh! I forgot to mention that I have Siblings in Canada lol. Tiff and I had a great time there. While up there, we got the chance to travel to Ottawa, Ontario to visit some more family. The city of Ottawa is very beautiful. It was awesome to actually spend time with my Family, but the best part of my trip was being able to spend it with my Girlfriend. ( yeah, I know I'm being mushy, but I really Love the ability to share my happy moments with her ;-)

Take a Look For Yourself

Oh Canada.....

What would you do for some concords

This blog post was inspired by the latest release of the new Jordans.
I understand that everyone has that one thing that they want in their possession, but this world has gotten outta hand. Long over-night lines to grab the latest Jordans, iPhones, iPads. To see twilight movie premieres. To get a copy of the latest games like call of duty, 2k12, blah blah blah! Its ridiculous! Are you willing to sacrifice your rent money for some shoes? Are you willing to wait in line for 8hrs in a blizzard to get that new copy of COD? Are you willing to take a life for them new concords? If you are, then u have a big problem! The thing that kills me is when I see someone's world crashing down over a pair of shoes, or some silly game. What really kills me is when folks pursue to buy these silly expensive items with no kind of savings. What will a pair of shoes do for you when you need to eat, or when your car breaks down. Snap back to what's real folks, it's not that deep.Stop crying over a phone! You will live without that COD! You'll probably end up getting more work done! Be grateful for the things we (Including myself) take for granted everyday. None of these Material thing are worth fighting in line for. Eventually, it will all turn into ashes. Get out of those vicious cycles that are set up by these multi-billion dollar companies!!! Seek wisdom, Seek purpose, Seek righteousness, Seek God!

4 Wives

"Once upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another.

He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her, and she would help him get through the difficult times.

The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife. Although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her!

One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. He thought of his luxurious life and wondered, "I now have four wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone." Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!", replied the 4th wife, and she walked away without another word. Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart.

The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!", replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to remarry!" His heart sank and turned cold. He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!", replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave." Her answer struck him like a bolt of lightning, and the King was devastated. Then a voice called out: "I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was very skinny as she suffered from malnutrition and neglect. Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!"

In truth, we all have the 4 wives in our lives. Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it will leave us when we die. Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, it will all go to others. Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave. And our 1st wife is our Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world. However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of us that will follow us to the throne of God and continue with us throughout Eternity."

Build Wisely

I was sitting in class the other day and my music history teacher gave us a word of meditation that I couldn't keep to myself. I quickly google one of the sentences that I remembered to share with all of my folks so check it out.

"An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family.

He would miss the paycheck, but he wanted to retire. They could get by. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."


What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

So it is with us. If we build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely.

It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity.

The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project."

Your attitudes and the choices you make today will be your life tomorrow, build it wisely."

Blog Post to Close the Summer!

Life:
What's Good PPLs! It's the end of the "Summer Vacation" (really not a vacation) and it's time to bring this undergrad career to a close with this new school year coming up in a weeks. This semester is gonna be a tough one. I'm praying and claiming my bachelors degree in Music Theory&Composition(finally). This summer was a bit different then all the others. I was out of town every other week, traveled with my girlfriend, car broke down but God blessed me with a new one, but most of all, The Lord revealed a lot to me. I'm becoming an old geezer and time isn't slowing down for me. Once school is over, in the words of Naturalrox, it's real life! One main thing I learned is if you trust in God and submit your life to his will, he will take your life to the next level. Therefore the only thing I need to worry about is my spiritual walk with him. This summer, I also decided to challenge myself by adopting a healthy lifestyle. Which includes: Healthy diet, Exercise, Adequate water, and a good sleeping habit. I realized that if you take care of your body, your body will take care of you (ur mind). Ever since I made the change to a more healthy lifestyle, I've become more focus, more receptive, and I have more energy throughout a day. I believe as Christians we ought to take care and maintain the temple of God (our bodies). Guys, Pray for me as I walk this last mile this year. It's about to be a "long but short one" lol.

Love:
Also, I thank God for blessing me with such a wonderful girlfriend. I'm not the mushy type but I love her so much. She a blessing in my life and I appreciate her being in my life. This summer, a good portion of my family got to meet her and they love her(BTW I am referring to Tiffany aka "Naturalrox" on twtr). This was just a S/O to God for manifesting himself through human relationships!

























Music:
I got a few request on the iPad Track machine stunts I've been pulling lately so musicians, this clip is for you!

Conviction folks

Let's experience Conviction folks...
Galatians 5 19-21
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

If you fall under any of these categories, lets make make an effort to allow Christ to change us.

Accept the Storm

So it's been tough lately but I'm still alive folks. I had to stay prayed up cuz times are hard. But I must say, I've never felt so much peace in my life. I was looking throughmy timeline (Twitter) one day after a long day at work, I a tweet cause my attention. The tweet was from Parris Bowens, a great musician, and it went like this: "It's amazing how God will use the roughest season's of your life to grow you. We would never think to do that but then again we aren't God." I believe that quote hit home bcuz I feel God working in the midst of my struggles. Sometimes god has to take us through some things in order for us to be prepared for the great things that God has in store for us. Understand what ever God blesses us with will have a responsibility attached to it. If agod Blesses you financial, you now have a responsibility with your finances, if God blesses you with the gift of music, you have a responsibility along with it. Sometimes we are not ready for the many great things with our names on it. Accept the storm folks, consider the storm as Gods bootcamp lol
