POEM: Obstacle Course

Don't fear if these days you feel weaker

or if debt has you held down - 

deeper and deeper

do you have a loved one

who has strayed from the flock

don't know if he's far away

or around the block

what about the tensions

you face on your job

you know ...those days

that you cry and sob

Are you just feeling depressed

like your life is an empty nest

Is it about that true love of your life

who took your heart and cut it with a knife

Do you feel like you're the next hot topic

and when people describe you - 

it's sometimes graphic

Well I know someone

who can solve these problems

and give you joy

and help you erase them

When you feel like you are at your lowest

that you're tossed in the storm

and lost in the tempest

there is hope for you to make it through

so you'll get strength and feel renewed

gain confidence and forget the nonsense

because in these times of war and turbulence

you need your armor and your full strength

So don't give up

and never give in

You are on an obstacle course to win

Put your faith and trust

in God Almighty

and do your best to live uprightly

seek good counsel and be your brother's keeper

cause in turn Jesus will be your keeper

He is a friend anytime you need him

He loves every man and forgives their sins

so yes you still can conquer the odds

just put your faith and trust in God

Written with Fire - Today's Blog Post

We continue to play around with each other when we need to be serious. There are a lot of things that are not going right. We don't stand up when we need to and we don't fight for each other. When I say this, I mean when we see things going wrong, we don't pull up each other.

I cannot deal with mediocrity and while we can't complain for everything that goes wrong, how long must we stay quiet and watch the foolishness continue. If people are in an organization and they cannot be corrected, then something is wrong. When I say corrected, I mean that they are not fulfilling their roles the way that they should. How long will we continue to accept the nonsense because we don't want to offend.

Please offend me if I am doing wrong so I can wake up. I am not perfect and I know many of my flaws. I am working on them day by day. Please bear with me and bear me in prayer. However, while you bear with me, know that I am bearing with you too and we have to be each other's keeper. Be a seeker for greatness and someone who inspires others, not a criticizer who offers nothing positive.

Let's go man!

Taking time to smile

Life can be up and down and some days you just need to laugh. It's good when you work in an office where you can get a smile during the day. It's awesome when you have some friend or family member who will call you just to give you a joke to make you laugh. We all need that. I can't go through the day without getting something to laugh at.

It's not everything that we will agree is funny but at least an attempt at it can help when you are feeling down. Of course, I do not encourage you to laugh at others' expense or at their situations. However, you can look for a short joke on the internet.

I enjoy looking for one or two liners to share via social media. If it can make another person laugh then at least I gave someone a smile. When you are in pain or feeling down, a little joke can really make your day.

So this is a one-liner I found:

Grandpa: "Go hide, your teacher is here because you skipped school today!"
Boy: "No you go hide. I told her you were dead!"

LOL!

My 'What's In' List

Instead of a pet peeve list, I'll share a 'What's In' list.

1. People who stand up against wrong
2. People who give constructive criticism
3. Products that make life easier
4. Good deals with no catch
5. People who do not litter
6. Animal owners who take care of their pets and livestock without having them being a bother to others
7. Parents who truly parent
8. Church people who try to be real with you
9. People who are quick thinkers
10. People who see a friend with a problem such as alcoholism and encourage them to change

Inspired by "Rethink Possible"

AT&T's motto when I wrote this post was "Rethink Possible" and I like it. As I look at my journey, I have met the impossible and in many cases I've walked away saying "I'm Possible". Some risks are scary but you have to take the step forward to be able to achieve your goal.

Set your plan in motion and remain determined to succeed. Obstacles are every where but walk over, creep under or walk around them. Be realistic and ask for help if you need it. Everyone needs help from time to time.

So today, "Rethink Possible" and see how far you can go.

Some Days.....

I have the weirdest experiences sometimes. I can never explain them either. I have been through so much in this life. Sometimes, I get surprises and other times, I can see things coming. I even meet some strange people sometimes.

I may just happen to be the one to get the defective item or the bad product. However, I take it as it comes.I believe that God gives you tests to ready for bigger challenges. Even Jesus was tempted and tried so I try my best to be patient. Patience is hard for me but somehow I like farming. I watch my mangoes and can't wait for them to mature.

So I am continuing to work on me and hoping to be the best me! Pray for me please.
