With Love, Songbird

Kirk Franklin said it best…Pain is preparation for my destiny. I know that God has got something really good for me. I decided today to smile instead of cry. I decided today to walk instead of run. I decided to forgive instead of holding people in bondage while subconsciously holding myself there. When I started to think of all the wrong that has been done and I think of all the enemy has and tried to take from me, I remember what God promised that He will restore these things back to me. I feel sometimes that so many things have been taken away from me such as trust, loyalty, faithfulness, sacrifice, and honesty just to name a few of the things that really matter. While the selfish thought of never giving these things away again, my right mind says that’s not the way to live life. I’m am going to continue to give my all to people and expect God to give His all to me. I understand better in the last couple of days than I’ve ever in my life why people put themselves in a shell. Why people don’t open and give their all. God has been truly great to me, I’ve been truly great and honest to others, and God is going to surround me with people that have my best interest at heart. I am prepared to take this journey of life on my own, but the Bible says a man that has friends is truly blessed and also lucky is the man that has friends to help him up when he fall. I’ve fallen but I’ve had to step outside of myself and help myself up. Lose pride and gain patience. It wasn’t one of them all the way on the ground falls…lol..it was one of those ole lawd I just fell let me hurry and get up and look around to see if someone else saw type of falls…lol. Well I’m up…never down for the count until I take my last breathe. May all who read this be inspired and blessed. You will truly be rewarded for being strong through times of adversities. MWAH!
