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."
