Spoken Words

This month was a very busy month for me. Me and Simmone give the studio and website a major face-lift. I felt like I gave birth!
Well! I'm very proud of this picture. Why? Not because of the award. Last year I had the opportunity to do portraits of my Bishop. Bishop Merton Clark. He spoke into my life. He told me that communication and being more verbal would bring growth in me.

This was a very profound moment for me. All my life I had a problem with voicing my feelings. I was the Big Strong silent Guy. Not realizing that keeping quiet was making me feeble. People say that I'm always smiling.
So I left that day with a smile on my face. But I decided to open my mouth and started to speak to people and networking. I've made friends online and in person. I still smile all the time but now it is after I have spoken.
Thanks every one for your support.
I said all this to say that, we as men & women need to start to speak into our children's lives. Encourage them and support them also. Tell them that they can achieve their goals and dreams. Believe me you will see a change in them. It worked for me and I'm 35! Be their encouragement.

The Winner in me wont let me quit.

Inspired not Expired (Personal)

Today I did something I don't do often. I went to church without my better half. She had to work. I've only done this twice. The night before my mind was heavy on issues, my family, friends and business. I was overwhelmed with life.
Earlier that day my sister called me to check on me because she hadn't seen me in a while. Lol, she said I was acting like the “Jefferson's.” Sis I Love you! I didn't tell her but I wanted too. But I just have been focusing on me. The change began with me.

In early Dec. 2009. My brother texted me a message from prison. Don’t ask.That's another story. But the message cut me deep. Yet the message was the truth. He said: “Damn Bro. You've CHANGED, you not down for me anymore?. What happen to am I my brother’s keeper?.” He said more but you get the jist of what I'm saying. Keeping it real is what kept me away from the house of GOD for so many years.

So I responded: Bother I love you. We are flesh and blood. I'd give my life for you. Yes I have changed for the better."When I was a child I spoke as a child I understood as a child I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things."

So I went to church today and I saw and felt something. I was standing there and a friend from my pass walked in. I had inquired about my friend for many years but our life had taken us down different paths in life. This friend and I had run the streets together and went to church gave life to god together. We had turned our back on god also. Now many years later, our paths have brought us back to the house of God. I broke down. At the moment I learned how God works. This inspired me to a new level in my worship.

Once, God put his mark on you and his word in your heart. You can run, deny you’re calling, but you know TRUTH. The path of Truth will bring you home. God will leave the light on for you.

Many might say my blog should be about my business. Yes and that is a small truth. Yet my business would be nothing without GOD. Real talk.
