I Have Been Shaken To The Core!

                                          I Have Been Shaken To The Core

Well, Guys, I had a lot to confront this weekend. There were decisions to be made and they had to be made quickly.  I cannot go into direct details but I have some things that I want to say.

 You can go through life and refuse to see the things right before you and you try to cover up the hurt but there will be a time that you will have to face a situation, a (Goliath) in your life.

 This situation was something that had been going on for a very long time but I didn't know how to confront this situation because of the uncertainty about how it would turn out.

God, let me know that now was the time and when I attempted to approach this situation, the pieces started to fall into place.  I was still fearful and to be honest, I still am.  That is what real change will do, it will scare the heck out of you.

  Still not sure what the outcome will be, but, I am expecting something great to come through this.  When God says move, you better move because you may not get the opportunity again.

Confront your fears early because it will still have to be confronted even if it is many years from now.

Having Faith In The Future By Listening To Our Elders.

                             Having Faith In The Future By Listening To Our Elders.

I spent some time with my mom this weekend and I learned so much from her regarding the past.  She recited stories about her life and I wondered " Could I have been so strong and survived." She talked about hard times that people of my generation haven't endured. Back then people had to do really hard labor to feed and take care of their families.  They dealt with extreme racism and they had to use bathrooms for colored people.  These people had so much against them but they fought hard to survive.

A lot of the things that we complain about don't match any of the trials and tribulations that they had to endure.  What they had in their favor were  family and neighbors who cared and was willing to lend a hand.  Fighting, fussing and picking each other apart is never going to help us progress in our ever changing world.

We need God and we need each other.  That is the key and the glue that will help our future generation to move forward.  When we act negatively with our brother, sister or fellow man we create dissension and we move forward to destroying ourselves.

Next time you hear elderly people talk about the past, just listen and realize if they could make it in this world of uncertainty, you can also but you cannot make it alone.

Change your thinking and mindset and create the world that you want to live in.  Peace dwells in all of us.  Working together is the answer and love each other because God loves you and he will bless you for what is in your heart.
