Wake Up

So much has been going on this summer. Either people are in and out the hospital, in and out of court, or dead. What is the Lord trying to tell his children?
People around me have been going through. Divorce court, cancer, strokes, miscarriages, evictions, unemployment...... What else can go wrong? Even in Hollywood, celebrities are dropping like flies. Seems no one is above God's judgement. He is making sure we know He is still in control, and grace and mercy doesnt last forever. Are we paying attention?

Continuation.....

On top of losing someone, why do we pass over opportunities and opened doors? Who knows when the next opportunity will come or when the next door will open? Too often we (and Im preaching to myself) let opportunities go by because we feel they may be too difficult or require too much work or we are just too lazy to do it or too blind to see. There were many times when I let a very good opportunity pass me by. And I am paying for it now. A passed opportunity or a closed door only prolongs your journey to your destiny. When God opens a door for you, step through. Dont be afraid. Pray for strength and guidance and fulfill your destiny. HE wont lead you astray . Dont let fear, procrastination, or laziness distance you or hinder you from your purpose.

U Never Know What U Got.......

It's crazy how when people die, THEN you think about them more. All of a sudden the way you feel, or felt, about them becomes clear. It is that pivotal moment, as their last breath escapes their body, or when the casket closes and they are lowered into the ground, that you realize what you should have said or what you should have done when they were alive. Then you beat yourself up about the 'what ifs' and the 'shoulda coulda woulda.' Why is that? Why do we wait for a loss before we realize what we have? Why does a person have to leave or die for one to understand their meaning? We need to wake up people. Love Now, Live Now. Tomorrow is no promised. Dont wait. By then it might be too late.

Michael Jackson

Its been about a week since MJ died. His memorial service was yesterday. So sad to have lost someone like him. Someone so innocent, so pure. He really was like a big kid. And a musical genius. Nobody could touch him them and nobody can touch him now. He was well before his time. Maybe thats why he had to go so soon. He was ahead of his time since childhood. Every song I listen to, every melody, every lyric....every video...every dance move. Genius. Legend. Icon. He was more than all of that. There are no words that I can use to describe Michael except pure, innocent, extraordinary. He had a vision and purpose for everything he did. And he made sure what he saw came to pass. Who else can say they did that? He broke barriers....racial, political, musical, emotional, spiritual. He then bridge the gap in all of these areas so that others could follow in his footsteps. He was about loving one another and not looking with your eyes, but looking with your heart. What artist or entertainer nowadays is promoting that? Michael loved everyone and wanted peace and love to spread world wide. He dedicated his life not only to his music but to people in need. It truly saddens my heart and my soul to see a beautiful person like him go. But like its been said, God obviously needed him more than we did. He must have fulfilled his purpose here. So I say goodbye to you Michael. I know you will live on for years and years to come. And I honestly believe you are now looking down on us as a guardian angel. Im sure your music will continue in heaven with our Father.

RIP Michael Jackson aka King of Pop
