I am realizing more and more as I get older (not in age, but in maturity of Word), I have alot of things to work on. Alot. I realize there are many areas I could be a whole world better in. Yet, I am not depressed, saddened, or even bothered by this realization. I find no shame in the fact of where I am, for I get better and better every moment of my life.
I believe this to be the main theme of my novel. You make some mistakes when you really don't have to. You could go through life if you really liked to without making not one more mistake. Jesus did it. Therefore, I can do all things through Him. As I get better and better at hearing and DOING what He says to do, my life also changes to reveal what is in my heart.
Many terrible things have I experienced and gone through. Whether it was by people, things, myself, or etc. I have no more anger and bitterness. Why? Because it doesn't profit me either to rehearse the things of the past, because they will never give the nutrients to produce my tomorrow.
So before the New Year starts, I have decided to continue to be a better me. Hopefully me fixing and manifesting better things in myself with in some way make your life better than what it was before.

What does a bad attitude have in common with rotten fish?
It stinks!
I am learning daily how important it is for me to work on myself. I refuse to point the finger at anyone else. I am not going to tell everyone why they should change and be better, when I have to take beam out of my own eye. I have finally come to the point where I am not willing to allow myself any opportunity to have a funky, stinky, mean, bad, or disgraceful attitude.
I used to pride myself on learning not to be the moody teenager of my youth. How even now I thought I was so great because I wouldn't be angry or hold a grudge for over a week. Then for more than a few days. And then I got really saved and I was never angry more than a day!!! But as I drew closer and closer to God, I was literally glowing in Holiness like Moses that my face shown...because I was able to get over a disturbing situation in at least an hour. I was too too saved.
Yet, what I have learned is that emotions are not bad. Father God gave them because they are just another set of indicators that show us what is going on in natural or everyday things. It only becomes a problem when we let our actions dictate what we do based on what someone else said or did to us. There in which was the challenge for me.
I had to refuse to be like Sister Jezzy in the novel...did you buy it yet?...yes shameless plugger...in the sense that I would wild out, act crazy, and then assume that I can just repent later and all would be well.
Not that you can't repent when you have misbehaved, but wouldn't it be so much better if you could train...TRAIN..yes I said it...yourself to do what is right even in the midst of the worst situation? It is possible. The more and more that I do it I notice it gets easier each time. I become aware of the signals or the snares of the enemy trying to distract me through someone else..something else...
I am getting better and better..there were some times of slip ups..but i get better and better...

THOUGHTS ON PETER..
Before I head out today, my thoughts focused on Peter. Who is Peter? Why was he the pivotal character in GEL?
Peter was the foundation for the entire book because his names means that..lol...He is the rock that the church will be built on..and the gates of hell won't be able to prevail.
Peter is the sounding voice of Father God in this book to many people who do not know them for themselves. He is the person, the man, that comes to a place and changes the very atmosphere because he allows Jesus to flow through him.
What does this mean? It means that when others just allow life to beat them over. When others give over to negative thoughts and temptations...Peter chooses in most cases to think about what Jesus would do in each situation.
He choose to believe that God knows more than he does in how to resolve a situtation.
He knows there is nothing wrong with having feelings or emotions, but it is a bad thing to act off of them.
Anyone and everyone can snap off or become angry, bitter, or even sad over a problem...but Peter decides to take the higher road.
So for me and my house, today I will exemplify the character of Peter who follows Christ....
I will not be offended in the small stuff.
I will not loud mouth and talk all day about how someone did me wrong
I will not pollute other people with an error of someone else.
I will walk in love, and have no fear.
Why because Father God is with me and will handle all my business today.
I choose to GEL...
Peace out.

My new novel-Greater Exploits of Love!!!!
Hello All,
here is a brief synopsis for my new novel. Hope you like it and buy. Tell all that you know. I really meant this to be a blessing to the body of Christ!!!!
When Peter Marshall, a bachelor, becomes head pastor of Greater Exploits of Love Christian Center, he is unaware of the conflict that awaits him. Sister Jezzy, the beautiful daughter of the previous pastor, will do anything to gain control of the position she believes is rightfully hers. While not outwardly expressing it, Peter has an attraction to Sister Jezzy. But when a private detective she hires discovers that they could be siblings, Peter questions his true identity.
Sister Jezzy’s scheme spills over into the lives of Jelani ‘The Mighty’ Reed, and Lydia Stevens. Sister Jezzy attempts to blackmail Marshall by befriending Lydia, a new member that is fond of the Pastor. Meanwhile, Lydia is forced to confront the life she thought was behind her, when her once high school friend and son’s father, is released from prison for raping her. She must deal with her fears before she can become the woman that Christ has made her.
Jelani is a well-known, chart topping Gospel rap artist who also serves as head of the youth group and music ministry at Greater Exploits. Friction starts when he is accused by Sister Jezzy of having inappropriate dealings with one of the youth. He must have the faith to rise above rumors being spread about him. When Pastor Marshall brings Sister Jezzy and Jelani before the entire congregation, true identities will be revealed. Greater Exploits of Love shows that in order for a person to become their best, they must first seek God’s Love and heed His Word.
