Everyone Has One!
(Please Comment Your Thoughts Below)
Do you know so many people die with their purpose
locked inside them? At first we think well, that’s on them but, reality it’s a
loss for the lives they were assigned to affect! Think about it this way Dr. Martin
Luther King http://www.martinlutherking.org/
was a great man that made a massive change among people, the world and the
order we live by today in so many ways! Why, because he walked in his purpose
fighting for freedom by all means no matter the cost? He had a dream, no question
in who believed, supported or came against him. He knew what God placed in his heart
and was willing to walk it out the best way he could. Martin was talked about, laughed
at and threatened but, still didn’t let none of that distract or discourage him
from he’s assignment and purpose!
Nelson Mandela http://www.nelsonmandela.org/ another great man who has affected the world in a major way also, adamant about his vision and purpose for freedom. So much that he lost time with his family behind it. Majority of his life was spent in poison; still he fought and believed through all the torture he endured. Nelson was faithful in trusting the purpose God put on his heart as well, believing it would soon come to pass if he continued doing what he was capable of. Although, beyond bars so many would have gave up and used that disadvantage as an excuse.
So the ending results; while Martin was assassinated
in the mist of his assignment he’s dreams still came to light. For the most, there
is no legal difference in equality of black and white people. Well yes, we
still live amongst prejudice people but, now a day’s that can be against any
race or person if you know what I mean? The fact is we went from black and white
separation signs in public places to a Black President no matter who agreed with
that decision. Although our real first Black President was John Hanson in
(1781-1782) http://www.rainboreview.com/2010/11/16/the-first-black-president.html
Guest we weren’t suppose to remember that! Anyway President Barack Hussein Obamahttp://www.biography.com/articles/Barack-Obama-12782369
reminded us that anything is obtainable through hard work, belief and perseverance…
No matter how many doubters and haters you have!
Mean while Nelson survived came out of prison in his
elder years still with a right mind, healthy and the best thing of all, became
president of South Africa. This courageous bold, humble and confident man saw he’s
vision come to pass plus along with Dr Martin Luther King won the Nobel Peace
Prize WOW!
My point in this entire if you haven’t figured it
out by now; I wonder where would we be and how would it be had these courageous
men not followed what God purposed them to do without buckling! Deep isn’t it!
Or add up all the people that benefited off of just three or should I say four
men visions, how many lives were touched and affected in so many positive ways.
How many people lives were spared because, of new laws and opportunities that
some of our grandparents or great-grandparents didn’t have or couldn’t dream of
back in the day, it’s so crazy right? When you really look at how powerful one
person’s purpose can be it’s almost scary to think we allow silly and selfish things
to get in our way and distract us from pursing our dreams and visions!
This is my very first blog I prayed before I started
writing and this is what God gave me to write about. Maybe, because its black
history month, it’s still amazing to me, I actually need to revisit this blog
in my time of discouragement, hope you do the same. I was guilty of not walking
in my purpose for years making foolish redundant mistakes, allowing people and my
trails to become distractions. Wasting valuable energy on folks that meant me
no good, worrying about the lies that were told on me, betrayal; trying to
appease everyone’s opinion of who I was and they’re approval of my God given
gifts. Depending on help from unreliable people and folks I thought believed in
my gift but, later would find out there were strings attached in favor of their
help. I let the thoughts of being out the music game for so long put fear in my
heart. Although I was blessed with talent sometimes I didn’t recognize I was fighting
a form of low self esteem. I had to pray for confidence and boldness to walk in
my purpose. Then, the Lord showed me at the end of the day I’m hurting myself, being
selfish; harboring my purpose and hurting the people God has assigned it for!
Who knows the healing and encouragement one can receive from my words, music,
blogs or testimonies! All the hurt, pain, disappointments and people taking my friendship for granted has made me stronger than ever. Since, God has giving me grace and peace to forgive and let go. So when you think bad things and bad people keep happening to you it's only to make your skin tough for the people and things that really matter for a successful purpose! In that process God is draining all the junk out your spirit as well that continues to hinder you from being your best! Living in this life it’s not about us individually
however, what we can offer to make this world a better place!
I challenge you whatever gifts, talents, dreams and
visions God has placed on your heart that won’t leave pursue them to your best ability
and allow God to do the rest! Trust me even if it seems impossible just pray
for wisdom, grace, knowledge and confidence God will give you what you need to
make your purpose come to pass! It was placed on my heart to pursue music again
and build my own websites. I never went to school for none of it and here I’m
am blogging, two company websites later that I build from scratch along with
all other connecting sites. This from prayer, faith and determination while,
some web professionals might think I’m armature they have thousands of student
loans to pay back, God was my teacher for free! J
So, Stop Making Excuses get away from “dream stealers”
as Paula White would say; get away from negative people and addictions. Examine
your life see what you can change within you and pray for God to change the
rest. Cut off people that are draining your energy or distracting you;
everybody can’t go where you’re going rather its family or friends you can
still love from afar! Also, if they truely love you, they would support your decision and respect your time to focus and pursue your vision. And that's how you find out who's really in your corner! I know it might be hard but, your purpose is far more important. Think about this when your end comes you’ll be the only one standing there answering for your actions not them! I pray you become the best mom, dad, singer, dancer, organizer, activist, sectary, scientist etc. I’m sure you get the
point. Just follow your heart set some goals, completion dates and let God do
the rest. Oh’ and get out your own way!
