A Season, A Reason, A Lifetime

I don't know who came up with this phrase but it holds true to those I have met along life's journey. There have been some very interesting characters that have crossed my path. Some have come and gone and a special few are yet in my life. There are some that I wish had never shared in that season and some I wish could have stayed forever.

At one point, I thought I had enough friends and loved ones, however, I believe God continues to allow special people to enter my life. But God wouldn't be God if he didn't allow some new folk to be borderline a**holes. (They only come to make me stronger anyway.)

This past weekend I attended Mississippi Black Pride in Jackson, MS. There were a lot of people there that I have connected with before and there were some new faces. New faces are always refreshing. Although, a familiar face allowed me to have the time of my life! You never know what the possibilities may be by traveling down an old familiar road.

I will always remain open to those that I need to share with or receive something from. The Divine knows how to really connect His people. I believe there is someone, somewhere waiting just to hear from, listen to, and experience you...your voice, your touch, your love, your companionship. Where have you been all my life?

Three Things

Good Morning Blog World. I usually hate forwarded email, but since a very special friend sent this to me I will share it with you. ENJOY!

Three Things

Three Things Three things in life that, once gone, never come back
-Time, Words & Opportunity

Three things in life that may never be lost
-Peace, Hope & Honesty

Three things in life that are most valuable
-Love, Faith & Prayer

Three things in life that are never certain
-Dreams, Success & Fortune

Three things that make a man
-Hard work, Sincerity & Commitment

Three things in life that can destroy a man
-Lust, Pride & Anger

Three things that are truly constant
-Father, Son & Holy Spirit

I ask the Lord to bless you, as I pray for you today;
To guide you and protect you, as you go along your way.
His love is always with you, His promises are true.
And when you give Him all your cares, you know He'll see you through.

Happy New Year Fellow Bloggers

I do understand that we are into the sixth day of the New Year but I had to allow myself some time in order to reflect on the previous year and see into the present one. As I gazed over into the year, I sense that it will be a year of grace towards a lot of people. 2005 - Five in biblical numerology represents grace and I believe that God's grace will be upon his people. This will be a good time to get things in order: fix your credit, forgive friends and enemies, get a connection with the spirit...etc. Please don't miss any opportunity that should befall you this year. Doors will be opened quickly and they will be closed just as fast. Take the time to do things for yourself. Learn to say no this year (to Mom, Dad, Pastor, friends). Go ahead, it won't kill anybody.

This will be a year of new business!

Freedom will definitely be ringing in the lives of many people. People will be coming out of bondage of all sorts. More people will be speaking the truth and dispelling lies. People will come to grips with their sexuality and spirituality.

Common sense will be loosed. So those that don't usually use it, take advantage this year.

Don't let everything out of your grasp so easily. Don't get away shit free!

In closing, I would like to give you the words of a prayer that was offered at church this past Sunday. (First Congregational Church)

O God, guide me so that I will not die an unlived life,
so that I will not go in fear
of falling
or catching fire.

May I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open to me,
to make me less afraid

more accessible

to loosen my heart
until it become a wing!
a torch!
a promise!

May I choose, O God, to risk my significance:
that is, to live
so that which comes to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which comes to me as blossom
goes on as fruit! Amen

Have a proseperous New Year...many blogs to come.
