Step Back and Sit Down!

My wife has been worried about when I would cook us some of those delicious fluffy pancakes. She tried to take matters in her own hands in cooking them herself. They turned out okay but she still wasn't satisfied. She keep trying but could not cook them the way I usually cook them. I would try to step in but she wanted to do them on her own because some mornings, that's just want she wanted at the time. So I would step back and wait for her to finally give up before I stepped in. It wasn't only till she let it go that I decided to cook some of those thick fluffy pancakes for her birthday. I cooked so much that there was left overs for the next day. She was happy that I finally came through even though I knew I would cook them for her birthday.

God is awesome! He will always come through! Sometimes God has to step back and sit down and wait for you to stop doing and trusting in other people and things before He steps in. He realizes that you will not be thankful nor will you give Him the praise. So when you finally give up and step back and take a seat, God will stand up and say, "Now let me show you how much I love you!" If you are struggling with something or someone, just Step back and Take A Seat and Let God just work it out for you!

I DREAM

When pastors preach, When professors teach, When speakers speak, I dream! I dream! I dream about how He could change the world through the voice I speak. Through the windows I see, I breathe, I dream! Visions become overwhelming. And I black out into this perfect me that God wants me to be. But I don't believe I can.

I mean, I want to but they may laugh. They may joke. They may say I'm not so but I dream! I get nervous when it's my time. Birds in my gut but my rib cage is cut. Afraid of mindset fear that I could never be what this dream ask of me! I compare myself to the greats! I get weary of my successors. How can run with the dinosaurs when I was only born an ant.

I dream that I can be great! I dream that I can inspire! I dream that I can bring smiles and laughter but I worry and drown myself in fear! The fear that I created that turns me away from purpose! That turns me away from His voice because I've taught it to embrace fear instead of embracing faith!

I dream!

I dream that greatness is upon me not because of who I am nor my title but because of His Resume! White can be orange and grass can be bread and ants can be dinosaurs. All because of the thought of who He is!

I dream.

I dream I can be the best Speaker, dancer, nurse, photographer, social worker, dad, lawyer, instructor, teacher, spouse, leader, or worshiper! Why God do you give me these big ideas and missions? Why do you stress the impossibilities? I ask God why...

"I sat on my thrown knowing what had to be done. It was within me to do and apart of me to fulfill. I don't know the meaning of fear and failure isn't apart of my vocabulary. Don't Mistake Fear for Pain because pain was before me! Risk is what I took and faith is what I used! If you want to really know what you ask then stop your dreaming, for you have dreamt a great deal and start loving! After you do that, then turn your love into action! I'm only tell you what is true because, I Dream!"

You Deserve Success!

I visit the Lexus dealership at least once a week to gaze at the GS350 F Sport, my dream car! My heart beat races as I brush my fingers across the frame of the car! I imagine myself opening the door and smelling the fresh new leather smell of a brand new car! I think about sitting in this car and telling God I don't deserve this because of my sinful ways and my disobedience! But God kindly whispers in my ear that it doesn't matter how bad I've done! It doesn't matter how many sins I've committed! God blesses us not because of what we do or not, but blesses because HE LOVES US! We are worthy in His eyes! It's okay to dream! It's okay to have desires! Just understand that you deserve better! You deserve the best! Why? Because your the child of the King! And Kings take care of their children, No Matter What!

Free Your Mind

~Thinking outside the box is something I've learned throughout life. In order to be successful, you must cut open your box and let your ideas breathe. Turn your ideas into pictures and words and express the mirrors of success like water reflects it surroundings. Let your mind adapt to different shapes of life so you can focus on your desires. You can do anything! You can Accomplish Everything! Just let your ideas flow, and Free Your Mind~
