The man will become

A poem I wrote and gave to my son before he left for college.

The man will become

You will become a man of
great honor who will be loved
and admired by many and one
that loves and admires, a man
who will humble himself before
the Lord and others. A man
who will have others best
interest at heart, someone who
will bless others because of the
blessings the Lord has
bestowed on you. You will be
a man who will make his mark
on the world, a man whom
people will remember but most
important a family member
that will be remembered for
generations to come. You will
be a man that loves the Lord
and will be blessed beyond compare.

Why "living Outside the Grey"

Why this title “Living Outside the Grey”. As my heart longs to live as Christ, I sometimes find myself being morphed into the world’s image. As I become accustomed to its morals and standards this somehow causes the line of Truth to be pushed back; thus causing the grey matter to appear. In order for me to live unto Him I have to break away from the requirements of society and cling to the Truth of the Master. I am sure this stance will not come without cost but in order for me to grow into the likes of Him it is vital for me to press onward so others can see it is possible to live solely on God’s principals, no matter the social order. I am sharing this journey with you since I believe there are others who desire to live in the fullness of our Heavenly Father, without grey substance. This voyage will unbelievingly bring forth questions, concerns, and possibly some fear as we transform into the likeness of Jesus. I am looking forward to seeing God restore hearts and minds as we

What’s in your closet?

Whenever asked “What’s in your closet” naturally our first response would be clothes and shoes but when taking a closer look we find there’s more. I will be the first to admit I am a woman who loves clothes, shoes, purses, and the accessories that pulls a great look together. This leaves me having more than enough. So, with each change of the season I tackle the daunting task of ridding my closet of things I no longer want or need. But to be honest this deed brings forth anguish each time I undertake this job. My distress comes when I pull out certain garments which I continually place back in my closet year after year. I know these items are no use to me but for some reason I have a sense of comfort knowing they are safely tucked away. While I earnestly work on my seasonal ritual God’s word “TRUST ME” while the verse from 2 Timothy "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” start to permeate deep within my soul. I quick

The legacy of a great man

On March 8, 2011 @ 4:15pm my eldest brother William went home to be with the Lord. It was a rainy Tuesday and I wonder if the angels were crying because of rejoicing or because of the earthly loss? I am lead to believe it was a little of both. William’s current lineage: Being a son, an eldest brother to three siblings, an uncle to six and great-uncle to seven, a husband to the love of his life, a father to three amazing children one son whom he raised as his own, and two daughters whom were his little princesses, a father-in-law to two outstanding son-in-loves, and last but not the lesser - a grandfather to three wonderful grandchildren. His legacy: He was honest, kind, gentle, soft spoken, and good-humored. He was a man who loved to be a jokester “all in good fun”; he was a hard worker, a great provider, and very dedicated. He loved to laugh and smile even in some trying times. Maybe most importantly, he was a man who loved the Lord with all his heart, mind, and soul while being a gre
