YOUR STORY

Everybody has story. Your story is built upon life experiences. Some good and of course others not so but all build your character. I would not be where I am today without the trials, successes or fun times.  Recently I finally saw the answer to a 49 year old prayer.  This is a story for another day but through it all I have grown as a person, enjoyed an adventurous life and shed a lot of tears.

  On another point, sadly we don’t teach are kids how to loose. I have lost a lot through out my life.  Winning is fun but not everything. If you sacrifice all then what is left at the finish line. This does not mean that you should not give your best or push through some adversity.  Through loosing and loss I learned perseverance, what is important and how to get back up.

Young men it is time to stand tall and be responsible.  After God, family is second.  

Ladies you are more than your exterior appearance. You are the heart and soul of your family.

Hug the one next to you today.  Now a few more thought before I wrap up this post.

Community is connectiveness.   A community is a familiar thread used to bring people together to advocate and support each other.

Common destiny, a common purpose is one of those threads.

As a Christian, who has accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior you are born again.

Your a chosen people not because you are good enough but because your Dad is the coach.  Had to put this sport metaphor in because I was one of those who was usually picked last.

Are you on Christ’s team?

God’s mercy & grace abounds

We are the light of the world.

It takes courage to stand up to our enemies but just as much courage to stand up to our weaknesses.

So if any of you ever feel like life is too much to handle reach out to someone for help =

Connected community

So how does all of these random thought relate to each other.  Our society is one of isolation.  Social Media has become the norm for human interaction.  I have seen a bunch of teens, sitting in my living room having a group chat amongst themselves online.

We are in this life together.  You should be a part of a real life breathing human being community living life together.  Times are tough and there is no need to go it alone.  Finding that common thread that ties a group of people together is a goal all should have.  Using your story to benefit others along with talents that are your strengths build a community.  Be it combating poverty, helping immigrants or your church & neighbors you will be stronger.
