friends.....

Well this has been a interesting week, although it is the start of a new week i want to say thank you to all my friends for there love and support in this ministry, i can not begin to tell you the impact the emails and comments mean to me. thank you all.
So with that said ....I was always told "YOU ARE WHO YOU HANG OUT WITH" what does that mean, well it actually means everything this,blog and my speaking events are all about the decisions and the choices made on a daily basis what bigger choice in a young persons life ....who to be friends with ??????????
I see so many kids doing, saying, dressing, etc... all in order to impress there friends or the so called friends. A TRUE FRIEND DOES NOT CARE WHAT YOU HAVE .WHO YOU KNOW WHAT BRAND NAME YOU HAVE ON ,AND OH YEAH A TRUE FRIEND WILL NEVER ASK YOU TO BE SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT.
I know that some will not understand why I am going off like this but there is a method to the insanity lol TODAY'S YOUTH NEEDS TO KNOW THAT BEING CENTER STAGE AS THE CLANS CLOWN OR THE BULLY OR ANY OTHER NEGATIVE TITLE IS NOT THE WAY TO TRUE FRIENDSHIPS, IT ACTUALLY IS THE WAY TO REGRET AND THAT IS NOT WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT. SO YOU ARE WHO YOU HANG OUT WITH MEANS THE WAY YOU PICK YOUR FRIENDS CAN AND WILL EFFECT THE WAY YOUR LIFE TURNS OUT.........
I PRAY THAT EVERYONE COMES TO REALITY AND LOOKS AT THINGS THRU THE EYES OF A BELIEVER INSTEAD OF THE GLASSES OF DECEIT....
