WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?!...............UP!

A PLACE OF PENSIVE, PROCRASTINATION AND PURGING...A CHILD WAS BORN!




I haven't posted to my blog since August 3rd. I haven't because I procrastinate. But that's not the only truth.

As a Pastor, I have lost three (3) members in a month.

As a Pastor, I have buried five (5) members since October 2004 and also buried a fellow Pastor from Phoenix, AZ, who happened to be from Newark, NJ.

It has been a trying season.

It will ever be remembered as The Summer of My Ascent. I had originally called it The Summer of My Discontent.

But then, I remembered. I GOT UP!



Sometimes, things get crazy. All at once.

Katrina AND Rita in the same season! Death and job loss, in the same season. Break-up and seroconversion in the same season. Sometimes, things happen on top of each other and you feel like you can't make it.

But you're thinking you can't make it the best evidence you can! YOU ARE ALIVE and breathing and thinking and living, so DO SOMETHING!

Craziness comes to stop you from doing something! So instead of focusing on the craziness that shows up and the why you and the what next, remember one thing: THE THING YOU WERE DOING WHEN IT SHOWED UP!

It only came to try to stop you from flying!



There's an old gospel song called I'M TOO CLOSE. That's where I am today. I'm too close to turn around. I'm too close to emptying out my Heavenly Closet of all the things that I asked God for. I'm too close to finishing my life's purpose. And, if I wasn't on The Road to my destiny, then why would crazy show up? It shows up to try and stop me from completing work.

I got up today, with a new purpose and a new focus. I have work to do and I cannot slow down now. I know that this is 'only a blog' and that might not mean anything to anyone else. But to make, this is about a life's purpose and power and I'm too close. I can't stop until MISSION ACCOMPLISHED gets stamped across my last mission.

SO, I MAKE A NEW VOW!

I'M BACK AND IT'S ON, AND POPPING!
