Actions Speak...

I'm pretty much in a season of my life where

WALKING THE WALK gives permission to talking the talk.

If you don't mean what you say, then get out of my face...

In the words of my father, "that's how I feel about that"

I guess this opinion/mantra/mindset started within.

After failing miserably at just about everything in the past,

it became clear to me that I want to do better in my life.

I can't give advice to people and not practice what I teach.

With this new 'mantra of integrity' it's caused me to see life differently.

sucks when you notice friends and family who practice

"Do as I say, not as I do".

I just want to be surrounded by positive energy.

That includes the people in my life and what they stand for.

I'm definitely not on a 'holier-than-thou' trip.

Last I checked, I'm still a sinner.

This way of life is so important to me now.

So much so, that I decided to get it permanently marked on my body in this fashion:

Because your actions speak...

Here's how it looked the next day...



I have to go back to get the black touched up.

If you do too much ink in one area, it causes the skin to scar, then raise.

The ink bonds with the scar

causing a tattoo to look more like a colored branding

verses a well done tattoo.

Painful?

Yes.

Time?

Couple of hours.

...to be continued...

Pre-Genesis

Man oh man..... how do I even sum up my life around this time....

A whole lotta 'leaning on the Lord'

A fruit of the spirit that I'm WELL familiar with is LONGSUFFERING.

The kitchen sink is being thrown at me, yet I'm rather confident that I will have an EXPECTED END

From a recent conversation with a friend, I told him that I'm kind of a 'learn-from-mistakes believer.

On one hand, I'm a raw uncut personality type that doesn't take no for an answer and always questions (the motives of) authority.

On the other... my inquisitiveness has gotten me in near-death situations in the past giving me hindsight, allowing me to have greater sense of - what my dad would bark as - accountability and responsibility. That's where all the fruits of the spirit have entered my life when I realized that my way wasn't really cutting it.

I've said all that to say,

"I've grown wiser about life through my mistakes while always thinking outside the box."

Recently my life has led me to take pictures at the new site of CELEBRATION CHURCH.

It was a surreal experience that I'll expound upon soon.

I'll expound with pictures from my good camera soon. 

Until then, here are some pictures that I took on my camera phone: 

Pretty cool right?

GOD did it.

slackin on my blogs lately...

kinda been a whirlwind [kamikaze] since my last blog post.

currently, i'm at work.... in training.... friday..... super bored because we're pretty much done with our training sitting around looking at each other.

what's funny is that on monday [day 1] I jokingly said to my co-workers, "when's our potluck?"

it became a running joke throughout the week... and BAM.... today.... we had an awesome potluck!!! ::)

life and death is in the tongue right?

OMGGGGGGGGGG... have you been going to the AWAKENING REVIVALS???

my face has been melting over the past couple days....
such extraordinary words from Men of GOD.

Sergio de la Mora telling us to take up His Mantle for the oil (of blessing) in our lives...

and JOHN GRAY pretty much had me laughing and shouting all night.
my abs were BURNING from laughing and my voice was nearly GONE from shouting.
["you my ribs Jesus!!! His T.D. Jakes impression had me rolling..........]

I saw so many people that I haven't seen in FOREVER.... two people... ironically... it was their second time ever at CELEBRATION CHURCH !!!

what an AWESOME second time ever right??

I shared my GOD DID IT story at church on how... during the first week of the fast, my temporary assignment ended on a Wednesday.
Thursday, I had a job interview (when I got all that wood for the bonfire(s)).
Friday, I got notice that I got the job.

It pays $4 more than the last... and i'm over the moon. .......

nothing surprises me anymore... seriously. .... i'm just trusting God hardcore (shield of Faith)
and that's really helping me move forward in the things of God and he can operate fluidly through me and on my behalf.

I know i'm not perfect... but I have an awesome relationship that I share with my King and I just feel like the "Teflon Don"... or "Comeback Kid" Philippians 4:11-13

..... enough about me..... from now on.... all blog posts about the footsteps homeless ministry will be found on theNEW FOOTSTEPS HOMELESS MINISTRY BLOG PAGE !!!

be blessed yall.....

let go and let God.
