BLOG- 2010 REMEMBRANCES

2010 WAS A YEAR OF TRANSITIONS FOR ME
1ST YEAR W/O MY DAD WHICH LED TO SOME OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES OF MY LIFE, EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY, FINANCIALLY

THIS YEAR WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST I’VE EVER HAD TO GO THROUGH. THE LOSS OF MY FATHER HAD IMPACTED ME GREATLY. I HAD STRONG CHALLENGES AT MY JOB WITH MY CO-WORKERS. I SAW CHALLENGES IN ALMOST EVERY AREA, ESPECIALLY IN THE EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL REALM, TO THE POINT THAT PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS EXPERIENCING A MIDLIFE CRISIS OR A MENTAL BREAKDOWN. I WAS MISUNDERSTOOD AND CHALLENGED ON MY LIFELONG BELIEFS. BUT IN GOING THROUGH THOSE CHALLENGES, I’VE REDEDICATED MYSELF TO A BETTER WAY OF LIVING. I’VE BEEN TOTALLY TRANSFORMED AND I REDISCOVERED THE SOURCE OF MY STRENGTH.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER WAS THAT GOD WAS EXPECTING ME TO GROW UP AND MATURE TO AN EVEN HIGHER LEVEL THAN EVER BEFORE. I’VE FACED THE CHALLENGES WITH A MIX OF COURAGE AND WITH TOTAL HUMILITY AND RELIANCE IN HIM. I HAVE SOUGHT OUT AND FOUND WISE, KNOWLEDGEABLE COUNSELORS TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND GOD, OTHERS AND MYSELF. IN THIS PROCESS, I’VE EXPERIENCED NEW AND SOLID GROWTH IN MANY AREAS OF MY LIFE. I’M TOTALLY REDIRECTED IN RECLAIMING MY HERITAGE AND THE PURPOSE OF MY EXISTENCE.

I’M FOCUSING ON MAKING THE BEGINNING OF 2011 THE LAUNCH POINT TOWARDS A BETTER AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. TO THAT END, IF YOU HAVE ANY PRAYER REQUESTS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I WOULD CONSIDER IT AN HONOR TO PRAY FOR YOUR NEEDS. YOU CAN SEND THEM TO MY EMAIL ADDRESS ARCEASER3RD@GMAIL.

HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE NEW YEAR!

HAVE YOU BEEN POISONED?

How you can tell when you’ve been poisoned . Your actions and attitudes are toxic ! Toxic thoughts lead to toxic actions. Toxic thinking poisons others around us. Eventually toxic thinking leads to death (dreams). Watch out that the toxics around you don’t get inside you . How do you counteract toxicity? Speaking, thinking and acting positive activates life in you, around you, and gives life (energy) to others.

My experience at PODD for Men’s Fellowship

Being at the PODD felt like being at home, but I’m all grown up now . Don’t get me wrong. I loved the praise and worship music team. They really brought us into the presence of God. I loved rejoining with my brothers in Christ. It was good greeting my former pastor and friend. It’s felt good remembering all of the good times, and the not so good times we had there. But I’m not supposed to remain there. Now I belong to a new church, and a new body of believers. Eventually, I had to leave for my new home , and be with my new family .

Dealing with marital differences

I find the more I talk to people, the more they tell me the number one thing that is frustrating them in marriage, they don’t understand their spouse . Men don’t understand women, women don’t understand men. Being around women most of the time has given me some insight on how they think, how they feel, and how they react to situations. Guess what guys? God made them different from us. But thank God, He gives us the blueprint to help us, the Bible. My suggestion is this: Whenever you feel really frustrated or anxious about your wife’s behavior and her attitude, take your Bible and go into your prayer closet. Pray this prayer, “Father God, please change ME to deal with my wife in a way that honors you”. Right now, I probably lost 99% of you with that prayer. I know you would rather be like James and John and ask the Lord to rain down fire on your wife’s head. Maybe then she would submit herself to your leadership. But trust me on this. If you are truly seeking God’s will for your life, y...
