Tracy Morgan: When Was Hate Funny?

In light of all the news feeds constantly pouring in about Tracy Morgan’s hateful, homophobic rant during a comedy routine, something has struck me. When has hate become funny? It seems the over the years, the American public has become increasingly desensitized to what is considered hurtful, or even, hateful. We’ve gone a long ways from laughing at Bugs Bunny hitting Elmer Fudd...

Talking To The Moon (A Short Story)

He stepped out on a cold night as the wind blew through his thin jacket. He breathed into his cupped hands, hoping to keep them feeling. His heart keeps him twice as warm as it beats ever so quickly. The rolling hills that he walks on seem to embrace his presence, he’s been here many times. Shooting stars fly across the sky, but he makes no wish, he accepts his life as it is. And tonight is one of...

Don't Withdraw...Because His Touch Brings Life.

Another semester! Yes it’s exciting! It’s great to see familiar faces again and meeting new ones, God is greatly blessing me and teaching me new things. One thing that I’m really learning practically is the value of blessings. The Lord gives us so much and we fall into two sides often… the eternally grateful and the ones who take these blessing for granted. We will almost...

He Loves Me?

Its been a while since I’ve posted… I just didn’t feel like writing about my previous battles because I’m fighting some new ones and also because I’m experiencing new breaktrhoughs and re-kindling new joys. Sometimes for the process to continue in a healthy manner we gotta let somethings wait. I’ve learned something so important about the Love of Jesus...

I'm Tired....Already

This is the point I usually reach towards the end of the semester… right now I just feel tired, not necessarily physically, but spiritually, mentally and emotionally. I’m not complaining, just stating the facts, but I welcome it and I’m gonna stare it in the face. I’m gonna defy it, and show it how much will not be intimidated by it. And eventually it well go away because I...

Ruminations

So… I’m here listening to music that just reminds me of when I was a little kid. I don’t necessarily wanna go back to my childhood, but I want certain child-like aspects back in my life (not childish…child-like..there is a difference). Something I really remember feeling as a child was a fascination and zeal just to wake up in the morning, that I don’t have...

Self Conscious

I met a guy yesterday. We talked over lunch. The funny thing is that, we had just met that very moment, but the conversation that ensued was very deep. We spoke on the concern for our generation’s aptitude to be totally self conscious. We worry so much about our image and reputation that often we forget to say and do the things that are of the most importance (like cultivating good...

Today.. Life is Amazing.

I like to remind myself to be thankful for things. Although I made this blog to bring my struggles and weaknesses to the light in order that some may be blessed, I feel that if I ONLY focus on the struggles, it takes away from truly understanding how God gets the glory out of my life. And sometimes we think, oh, I wasnt raised from the dead like Lazarus, or I didn’t have a limb grow back, or...

Surrender All

So today in chapel, Professor J.P. Jones (my former Theology teacher) was talking about surrendering all we have to God. EVERYTHING. Our fears, our addictions, our ambitions. He told us to be ready to “Do anything the Lord tells us to do, Let go of anything the Lord tells us to let go of, and Say anything the Lord tells us to say.” (paraphrased) That’s hefty right there, but I...

Moment By Moment

So…. I think I got 2 hours of sleep last night (please refer to previous blog post), but I feel His grace on me. I’m at certain level of unexplainable peace in my heart right now. I’m very thankful. I know this is a battle that so many people deal with (1 in 4 to be more precise) but that’s exactly what it is, a BATTLE, NOT a death sentence. I will keep fighting, moment by...

Not Tonight

So here I am writing a tumblr post at 2 AM when I should be sleeping, getting ready for my 8:30 P.E. But I can’t sleep. I’m breathing, very very slowly, trying to keep myself as calm and quiet as possible. Is this the way it begins? My right arm went numb, my body started tingling, and my heart keeps beating, really hard. I’m trying my best to keep my body from having a panic...

Praise Yourself

Don’t be a narcissist, but go ahead and praise yourself for something good that you’ve done this past day, past week, etc. For all of us “negative thinkers”, oftentimes, a reason why our self esteem goes so low is because we don’t praise ourselves enough when its necessary. Many a time I have accomplished something great and have shrugged it off like it didn’t...

"At The End Of The Day..."

I grew up a very fear afflicted child. When I was little, I often felt unsafe, was always worried about people close to me dying, getting sick, etc. When you think about it.. those were valid fears. I mean, I can die at any time, right? But does it really matter if our fears are true? I still need to live. God said “Do not fear, for I am with you.” He didn’t say “Do not...

Every Breath

I’m the type of person who can be overly negative when it’s totally unnecessary. You may not necessarily hear me say negative things, but its definitely on my mind. What does this come from? Year and years of baggage that I am barely beginning to unpack. I’m surprised I never bought a bigger bag, cause its packed beyond stupidity. But besides that. I realize that oftentimes...

No Prison Can Hold Me

I just wrote a letter to my cousin in prison. God has done so much for him. He was convicted for a crime that he did not commit (I am beyond certain when it comes to this) and he has had to deal with so much anguish and strife. But his faith in God, gives me hope to keep pushing. I told him in my letter that “the only prison we are to truly fear is the one that we make ourselves, the one in our...

It's My Life

I believe that the LORD allows us to go through trials and tribulations not only so that we can become stronger people but so that we can relate to those who can be blessed by our own experiences. Granted not all aspects of our life are beautiful, but truth must be told. I’m gonna be vulnerable with you all. If you throw stones, shame on you for not looking in the mirror. If you relate, praise...

What Was I Thinking?

Ok, so for all those who are following this thing (if you guys are still there LOL) I’m changing up the way this blog is gonna be. Its gonna be a more personal blog than it used to be. I had made a new one and realized it would be better to swap places, and put the new posts in my old blog. So if your feeds blow up… I’m sorry. It won’t be something that you’ll...

My Grammy thoughts and more

I definitely agree with this post… via ecclectia invisibletheater: well written thoughts on the grammy’s by my bro proph (@proph1music on twitter) ecclectica: Sometimes I wonder if people are so angry at artists like Lil Wayne, Jay-Z and Rihanna because they are lost or because they have a stage and a multitude to listen and we don’t? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t condone the messages...

If Jesus Made All

So If Jesus made all… why do we still disrespect, the ones made in his image, and we choose to reject, to steal and to pillage, to point at defects, its time we all look in His mirror and humbly reflect.

Sin....

We all suffer from indwelling sin… you may deny it, but everyone reading this knows that they have either lied, stolen, refused to trust in Christ, Lusted, Coveted, gotten angry without justification, and have held grudges… I could go on forever with a list of sins that most of you have all committed… I know I have… There is no Salvation from sin without Trusting in...
