back and better than ever....

some times life throws us many curves twist and even a turn or to the key is what we do with all the emotions feelings and even the setbacks....in past years and even recent times i have not dealt with the pressures of life and society in a manor that one could be proud to say i did it !
but i will say this now this period of life and time of season has brought along change has allowed me to grow and to learn as i continue one day at a time and with honor and integrity i am extending a formal public apology to those who were effected by my lapses in judgment i can only say that with each day i take the steps to make a better tomorrow and hope that forgiveness will make way for redemption !
glad to be back

reconcile..........

How many times do we as individuals attempt to reconcile with ourselves..most people today seem to always want to correct the wrong with someone other than themselves. What I see in my eyes is that until I correct what is going on with me I will never be able to correct what has happen with someone else.
Self-Help seems to be the hardest thing for anyone to improve on. WHY?..... Being true to yourself is the first step of many that leads into truth in others. If we can not trust and have faith in ourselves how can we expect others to have trust and faith in us.
I see this everyday with the kids I work with they generally are so beaten emotionally that all they are concerned about is how they can undo the wrongs they have created in this world . The answer is the same for all adults and youth include ACCEPTANCE when we accept our situation and our past for that matter we then cna move on and improve ourselves one step and momoent at a time.
GOD IS ALWAYS WATCHING

not always someone else....

Recently in my personal life I HAVE BEEN THUR SOME MAJOR PROFESSIONAL DRAMA!!!!
When I STOP AND TRULY LOOK AT THE PURPOSE OF LIVING IN REALITY I, BECOME ANGRY THAT SOME JUST DO NOT GET IT .THEY DO NOT SEE JUST HOW TROUBLED AND LOST SOME OF THE YOUTH OF TODAY ARE .
I am in the business of saving the youth from "REGRET" I get extremely angry when on a daily basis some chose to use events as feeding grounds for "EGO". LIVING IN REALITY IS A NOT STANDING FOR THIS ANY MORE WE AS A ORGANIZATION MUST PUT THE FOCUS BACK WERE IT BELONGS AND WERE IT IS DESERVED ......HELPING THE YOUTH THRU THE POWER OF GOD.
I really am tired of drama everyday it is something new and it is exhausting !! Taking responsibility has been a key topic not only on the blog but in the actual live presentation to the youth ...I am considering a seminar for adults as well it is unfortunate to live life on egg shells and worry filled ....why.
I know from my own personal experience that when I disagree or find fault with someone or something I must look at the why and the part I play in this issue, and I say that "someone else" can not always be the problem I have to realize that actions weather past or present cause a reaction I, may not like the reaction that is in front of me however who am I to tell someone else how they should feel ...I am not that powerful and neither are you!!!!!!
You don't have to be a spiritual giant to understand that only GOD has the power to delegate emotion....no one can make you feel any way ...unless you allow them to!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S LIKE WHOA................

amazing and awesome is the best way for me to describe just how i feel today .....i can not even begin to tell you the amount of support i have received for living in reality thank you to all who believe in what we are trying to do IMPACT THE LIVES OF THE YOUTH. THANK YOU AND LIKE ANY THING IN LIFE THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE THOSE THAT HATE WHAT THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND MY RESPONSE.............IT'S LIKE WHOA!!!!!!!!!
THEY SAY FEAR IS A GREAT MOTIVATOR I SAY FAITH IS EVEN BETTER WHAT DO YOU THINK .......COMMENT IF YOU FEEL A NEED TO THIS CHALLENGE......

I CHALLENGE YOU TO STEP OUT OF YOURSELF IMPACT SOMEONE TODAY TELL SOMEONE YOU WANT TO HELP THEM GET THRU THE TOUGH TIMES AND TELL THEM THAT YOU WILL ROLL THRU THE FEAR WITH THEM AND SHOW THEM FAITH....CAN YOU DO THIS.......I CAN AND AM DOING JUST THAT IN PRINCETON TONIGHT.
NOW THAT'S LIKE WHOA.

GODS LOVE MIKE

FIRED UP.................

I have not realy spoke on this topic lately....... JUDGEMENT........... what comes to my mind is a feeling of entitlement by the ones who feel that gossip and slander is a right....wow!!!! First I need to clarify that this topic is that of the general format and not directed towards anyone in particular.
I HAVE TO ASK THOUGH WHY..... WHY DO SOME FEEL IT IS A GIVEN FOR THEM TO TALK ABOUT OTHERS AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT ESPECIALLY IN A FORUM THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE OF DIVNE NATURE, ISN'T THERE MORE INTERESTING AND PRESSING TOPICS IN THIS WORLD TO DISCUSS.
I write about this today because recently I have been working closely with some parents who are in a bad way with choices concerning there youth and addicton. I encourage them to seek help for there kids thru treatment,counceling and in some cases placement however I am met with the phrase"WHAT WILL PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US IF THEY FOUND OUT LITTLE JOHNNY SO TO SPEAK IS ADDICTED TO DOPE AND SMOKES CRACK " WOW AGAIN WOW.
MY RESPONSE IS WHAT WILL THEY THINK WHEN YOU HAVE TO BURRY YOUR CHILD
FROM A OVERDOSE ....... I SIMPLY SIT BACK AND SAY WOW!!!!!!!!WAKE UP
APPEREANCE IS A ENABLER THAT WILL TAKE OUT FAMILIES, JUST A THOUGHT OR IS IT?
GODS LOVE MIKE

need to breath...............

I guess in the long run of things anything that you or I feel causes us to gasp for the air and right to breath is a entity that needs to be cut out off the daily routine . I AM THERE CLEANING OUT THE CLOSET AND MOVING FORWARD STAYING FOCUSED ON THE PRIZE TO REACH THE MASSES .
I watched a documentary yesterday that gave me the courage to move forward and to renew my faith life was meant for all of us to enjoy to live free to breath and bask in this place we live .........that is what I am doing today enjoying the air I breath with a clear conscience.
FAITH is my thought for today were is yours , GOD'S knows that we will fall we will fail we will disappoint however MY GOD IS A FORGIVING AND MERCIFUL CREATOR!!!!!!!!
I WISH YOU ALL PEACE AND IF THE STRINGS NEED TO BE CUT FROM THE HOLD THAT IS IN YOUR WAY TO BREATH AND APPRECIATE THE WORLD AND THOSE IN IT .........CUT THEM AND MOVE FORWARD.
GODS LOVE I SEND

decisions and choices ..............

Sometimes we are faced with some of the tough decisions that will make or break us in life...I can give my own personal account of this and feel comfortable that i am accurate ! Living in the public eye is not a easy feat and to be under the microscope of the world is not a easy task .
When living in reality started it was a fire that could not be put out . The fury in which we as organization presented was second to none then it became a business and the focus was put on logistics and appearances well I WILL not allow this to happen .
The message of reality will always be the same making better decisions and choices because the world can not tolerate any less and will not tolerate any less .
Recently I have lost a close friend who I leaned on regularly due to a choice I made I realize that not everything I do is going to meet the approval of some and that is a reality I live with however I have followed my heart that is what GOD has given me one for to live and to breath and to follow what it tells me.
I know that only time tells the best story and reality reveals itself when it chooses to . I CAN NOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE DENY THAT MY HEART HURTS AND I GRIEVE AS OTHERS DO........
We as worldly people are sinners and no one is perfect all I can do is do better to reach the standard god wants me to live in. That standard is that of a divine nature not a worldly condition and, in time I believe my ?'s will be answered.
Until then I will spend my 30 alone with GOD and I will start it as I do with psalm 6 and finish with Matthew 7.
GODS LOVE I SEND AND A REMINDER THAT FORGIVENESS IS ONLY A PRAYER AND AUTHENTIC EMOTION AWAY.
