Play the Hand That God Gave You

Sitting here listening to an instrumental version of Lloyd Banks' "I Don't Deserve You" (I'm sorry that beat goes hard in the a paint) Anybody'swho, this weekend i was talking to my cousin who lives in Arizona. We were talking about a bit of everything. I remembered expressing my current frustrations about where I stood in life, the setbacks, disappointments, and this irritating feeling that I was moving in slow motion. I mean I was going HAM! Like "Such and such was able to do this and got that," "Ok so how was buddy able to get there and I aint there yet!" "Look how hard I'm out here working! What the HELL?" My cousin gave me a few slices of advice and garnished it with where I was right now, all of which I cared little about until I got off the phone.

That's when it hit me or better yet that's when God went OOPS UP-SIDE MY HEAD, I said a OOPS up-side my head and said, "LOOK AT YOUR HAND!" I returned the favor by giving him that "something stank" face. Once again He said, "LOOK AT YOUR HAND!!!" Before I could retreat into my sarcastic buttwodish ways (I get like that sometimes) by literally STARING at my pale pink hands, I saw SHE ME HER walking across the stage 3 yrs ago getting my Bachelor's in Finance diploma from the president of Chicago State University, I saw me typing the LAST WORD of my first book (Tears of Kings coming real REAL SOON!) 3 1/2 years ago, I saw me jumping for joy when the HR rep told me "YOU GOT THE JOB!" 2 yrs ago, and I saw me walking down the aisle of my current church to give my life to GOD 4yrs ago! Then I saw how all that could take me someplace HIGHER! (say what?) Yeeees chile!

That's when I realized I actually got a better hand than I thought. While I was sitting here looking like a dumb dumb DIITTTYYY, I pity the fool, and comparing my life with other people's lives, I'd fail to realize that God had not only dealt me a good hand but He dealt me a FAIR HAND with all kinds of GREAT POWERFUL CARDS that could actually bring this game to its knees. I mean a hand so sweet I could shout like Rudy on The Huxtables "King me! King me! Kiiiing meeeee!"(yeah I know she was playing chess lol)

So yeah, I know somebody out there feeling like this chick. I'm telling you, I've thrown tantrums, walked the floor at night, wrestled with insomnia, got jealous real quick (just a hot second), cursed, (oh boy!), and you name it. But I tell you friends, if you just sit still for a minute, fold out your cards in your hands, maybe even rearrange em, whatever you do, look at your hand and PLAY THE HAND THAT GOD GAVE YOU! #Boom!

The Effectual Fervent Prayer

I am convinced that there is no such thing as an unanswered prayer. I believe I’ve touched on this before in an earlier post. But I’ve received some new revelations to add to my case. 2 Corinthians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. So does this mean that every prayer we send up, God says “Yes” to? Well, I must inform you, that it’s a little more complicated than that. Yet, it’s not at all hard to understand. There is a three part transaction in this entire process. First we have OUR PRAYERS. Second, we have GOD’S PROMISES. Third, we have THE AMEN.” Yo, I’m so excited to explain this in full! YOUR PRAYERS: The desires and issues of your heart are the language behind your prayers. Whatever interferences your heart experiences (that rhymes! Lol) determines the kind of prayer that you lift up to God. God will ALWAYS answer the prayer. Th...

Waiting for Superman

Songs of Solomon 2:8 "Listen! My beloved! Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills." Well hello there! It's Misses Kill Your Vibes ALL 2019!! And look a-here, tomorrow is Valentines Day. One of the most overrated, hyper worshipped, super advertised pagan holidays behind Christmas! I HATE IT. You don't even get that day off for work. Yet people get worked up off an imaginary naked angel baby shooting heart arrows at other loose people. I do not have time for that kind of violence. I never do. I never did. Somehow I stumbled upon a section on my Facebook page that I thought no longer existed! So in 2009, as blogging begin to gain traction, Facebook would allow you a space to write notes. I would take advantage of it of course way before I started this page. It was pretty cool reading the stuff I wrote until I stumbled upon a host of love poems to some fantasy man god I'd molded fro...

Got Talent?

Matthew 25:23 His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.' Well hello there my friends! It's a great day to be alive. If I do say so myself. I pray that you all are really taking advantage of this time to become reacquainted with the fruit of the spirit. If you haven't yet, please catch the wave! I would like to consider myself as someone who's come up on the cheat codes for the type of tests that are inevitable for us believers. Just so y'all know though, I get treated probably everyday because of and by this stuff. That's why I don't mind showing what I've gained so I can help people pass these tests. Yadig! It's still been a heck of ride to say the least. So this week we are going to parlay with the fruit of FAITHFULNESS. It's the seventh one in the bunch. And it's kind of sweet. It's s...
