Single Ladies!! Stop looking for men!

   I was reading a pretty popular magazine while working out on the treadmill ( Needed that to keep going for an hour lol) and i came across an article talking about why according the them 50% of young Christians Black women in the United State of America are still single. I'll try in my best ability to give their reasons and tell if i agree or not with them.


1. The women look for men in Churches.
 The magazine states that most of those single young ladies look for men in black churches which is wrong. Well i agree with them on that. I've discussed with some single ladies before and they think that they'll find a godly man in church. They think since he comes to church he might be good for her. Hellooo!! Have you ever heard of people wearing masks to church? Someone can act more godly than the Pastor and be so not what people think he is. Where i come from even witches and wizards come to church every single day if they can, some people will be so active in their church but yet at home will be so wicked you'll look at them twice and be shocked. Plus Ladies 85% of us say they are "Christians" in the US compared to some 40% males and in total 75% in the US claimed to be " Christians". Let's leave that for another day shall we? 


2.Young Women wants a wealthy and successful man
   That's true, who wouldn't? But listen a black man in his early 20's is still trying to make it through College or make something out of his life and trust me if he is in the world (and most of them are), He is not ready to settle down. Don't be in your 20's and start thinking marriage come on.... I've sat with some Eagles lately, by Eagles i mean people who have been true Christians in a long while and married for a long time and some words from my Pastors and oh boy! I'm not in the hurry to get married. Marriage is a Magnifier like my Pastor will say. You think he is cute when he snores? Wait until you say "I do" and hear him snore every single day for the rest of your life. I don't think it's cute anymore huh? When you had a long day and try to sleep and hear it all night long. And Ladies, Behind every successful man, there is a strong woman. If you are not successful yourself, not strong on your own to take care of yourself financially, emotionally, physically, etc,... don't go out there looking for a man to do that for you. The truth is you won't find him. You need to be complete and happy alone before thinking of adding someone else to the picture. If you want to be complete go to God, He will be your strength, your guide, your love, etc.... and trust me He will be faithful if your faithful to Him and even in our messed up life He will still be faithful because He loves us that much.


3. Women and their Biological clock.
   I used to think that i have a biological clock but then i let God come in my life and do some main construction work. If you are on my Facebook you'll think, man she got it going on! Let me tell you that life is not a bed of roses especially if you want to be a true Christian, God will mess up your life. The devil will throw in his obstacles but if you still faithful to God in the middle of your storm and keep on going you'll soar on wings like an Eagle. There is no biological clock, it's in our mind. Stop looking for your husband in every man around you. You'll get hurt. I've learned the hard way. When you are in God, trust me you won't even have the time to think about it but you'll have a blessing of men around you because men will start seeing the Glory of God through you. You don't have to expose any part of your body, which is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, to get a man. That Glory of God will shine upon your life and you will rise and shine and you won't even understand where they are all coming from and why they are coming after you but let me tell you it's because they have seen the Glory of God in you. But then again ladies,  be careful because even Satan can see that light upon your life and will try to come in and destroy you. 


   To close this post i'll say when it comes to relationships, first you need to stop looking because when that right man comes in everything will fall into places without too much effort. I'm not saying it will be easy though but you'll know.Secondly don't be cheap, what i mean by that is don't fall too easily. Don't let the man have his way. Put him to test like a female Eagle does it. By that i don't mean either shoo-sh him away no, but see how far he will go for you. Third, if you want a godly man for your godly self he has to abide by the book of life, The Bible. Don't let him tell you no this is for the old days and things have changed. We as human changed toward God by doing what we please us but God never changed. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is still the same. Ladies! Be still and let God perform His works in your life. Let His will be done in our life as it is in Heaven. Father may your will be done now and Forever!

New Living...



As i was on my way home this evening, this song was being played on the radio. What caught my attention is the lyrics because it kind of reflects the new me if i can put it that way. See i use to be a church goer if i can put it that way, going to church every Sunday because it was the routine even though i believe in the existence of God and i know that some things are not good to do. But recently i can say that i have been saved. Not only i believe that there is God but i also know that He is there for me if i'm there for Him and i also believe in the death of Jesus Christ. He is not asking a lot from me but just me to walk in His ways and trust Him with all my soul. 
God is not difficult to please you know. Some surgeons while performing a surgery to heal or to save someone's life, they like listening to inspirational songs or any kind of song that keep them going and concentrate. God is the same way, while healing us or while moving in our life, He likes listening to worships and praises to keep Him going. As for me i rely a lot on songs to praise Him and this song is going to be for sure one of my favorite because when i was listening to it i felt fulfilled in a way and happy too for some reason. But i know it's because my soul knows that my God is pleased with me liking and meditating and trying to learn it as it was playing. I hope that you will like it too.

Happy New Year 2011

Here we are, it's 1-1-11!!!! I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone of you and your family a Happy New Year!! I'm asking for health, blessings, prosperity, and success for you and your family. I also want to thank you for making this blog moving by reading it, commenting, following me, helping with the design and my friend (You know yourself) who gave me the idea to create one, a BIG thank you to all of you.


I don't know about you but for me and those who know me personally, 2010 was a memorable year, it marked me as 2007 did. Some events happened that i will not wish to anyone even my worst enemy, if someone consider himself/herself as such, because i don't think i have any enemy except Satan. But 2010 was also good because i have rediscovered myself spiritually, i recognize i lost communication with God for a while but He is a merciful God. I can say that i have reconnected with God in a way i never did. Don't get me wrong i have always been a "Christian" but now i know what it's really like. All glory be to God because i was able to make it through 2010 and i can do way better, 2011 is my breakthrough year, 2011 is my year, Philippians 4:13 " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I know that like a father if i go to God and ask Him he will always answer i don't have to worry about anything God got it made for me already Philippians 4:6 says: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.".


What is your resolution for this year? My resolution is to get closer and closer to God. I want to be in perfect harmony and communication with the Most High because God's peace surpasses every understanding. Oh and NO MORE fast food for 2011 lol :-). Share your resolution with me....What's your resolution? And may the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guards your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus..Amen!!!!






HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! STAY BLESSED EVERYONE!!!

The Present is The Future

Here we are again, it's this time of the year when everyone wishes "Happy Holidays" or "Merry Christmas". The time we buy gifts for our loved ones and people in need. For some family it's at this time of the year that they all sit together and meet every year. It's like a tradition, everyone has to be there either you like it or not.


Joshua is an accomplished 32 years old man, he is a pediatrician, married and has a son named Jacob. It's December 25th 2009, Jacob ran to his parents' room as he does every Christmas morning after making sure that Santa has brought them gift and the milk and cookies were also gone, he is 5 years old. So Joshua and his wife followed him to the living room, his eyes were filled with joy and excitement. Jacob dragged his mom to help him find his gifts while Joshua sat in his armchair looking at them with a smile on his face. This sight reminds him of his life story every year and he can remember his story as if it happened yesterday.....


 Joshua is an only child and has been so spoiled. His parents used to buy him as many gifts as he wished for. But his 5th Christmas was one of a kind.When he woke up that morning and ran to their Christmas tree to see his many gifts as usual, he was surprised to see only one wrapped gift, kind of small too. When he opened it, he saw a Bible, since he was just a kid then he was really disappointed, angry, and sad because it wasn't what he wished for. His parents understood his pain, they tried to calm him down but he wanted a gift at all cost. So his parents promised him that they'll take him to a toy store the next day for him to pick a gift but he has to promise them that he will cherish the Bible more than anything he ever has and he accepted. On the next day as promised, they all went to the store to get Joshua some toys but on their way back home the unfortunate happened. A drunk driver ran into their car, his parents died on their way to the hospital and Joshua as the only survivor. Since then Joshua's life has been turned, he became bitter because he was blaming himself for his parents' death and also because he has been put into foster care, going from one home to another. At a point he decided to lock all the souvenirs from his parents in a box including the Bible that he never opened because he was angry at God because He took his parents away, Joshua was 17 years at that time. One day he met a Pastor, Pastor Alex, Joshua told him his story and the Pastor promised him that he will adopt him and make sure he won't lack of anything. Joshua was still bitter because many of his foster parents said the same thing but gave up on him. Pastor Alex eventually went through the paperworks and officially adopted Joshua he trained him as his own child and showed him the ways of God. He helped him reconcile with God and regain faith. Joshua eventually got baptized at 19, on the day of his baptism, he decided to open the box. Old and painful memories came back, he even forgot about the Bible his parents gave him, but then he understood that it was the best gift ever. They gave him the gift of eternal life, Joshua then understood that  God gave us His only son Jesus Christ so that we will be saved and have have eternal life and that his parents wanted him to be aware of that. He then understood that it was the most wonderful gift his parents could ever gave him. He got on his knees and prayed and made the promise to himself that he will succeed in life which he did.


Looking at his son, he can't wait for the day he will sit him down and share his story with him. All he wish and pray for is that God grant him life so that he may live until that day when he can tell him and Jacob will actually understand him.


See, during this period when we run all over the places to buy gifts, organize parties and getting ready for Christmas let's not forget about the true meaning of this day. The Present is The Future, The Present as gift is Christ Jesus who God gave us to save our souls, that gift if we accept it, will give us eternal life in the future; The Present as time space determine in a way our future, what we do today leads to what we will be tomorrow. 

             MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!!!!
                           AND REMEMBER
               THE PRESENT IS THE FUTURE!!!

Love hurts

 Love is a beautiful thing. It feels good to have a partner to call your own but when things don't go the way you've planned them, it hurts so badly. You wish that you can turn back the hands of time and make it right but the wrong has been already done. All you can do is take full responsibility of your acts and pray that it is just a bad turn in the relationship. Enjoy!!!

There is a Thin Line Between a Christian and a Believer

After watching the video below, I've started thinking a lot about Christianity nowadays. And it's kind of sad when you take a look at "Christians" today.



Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Being a Christian is not only going to church and acting all holy on Sundays and go back to the daily hassle of life as worldly people. It's more like a way of living, it must show in one's everyday life. Behold it's not an easy path but not impossible. It requires a lot of dedication and focus because it is really easy to be lured into doing things which are against Christianity. Christians are called to read the Holy Scriptures in the Bible daily and act according to what it says and not according to what the world says. Being a Christian is also like a commitment to be in a relationship with God with faithfulness and trust in Him.

However, there is a difference between a Christian and a Believer. A Believer is what most so called Christians are nowadays. A Believer is the one who believes that there is a God and that's it. Believers don't apply the Words of the Bible in there everyday lives; I like to call them " Once in a week Christians". The only day you see them acting holy and try to get close to God is mostly Sunday which is kind of sad.

In conclusion, becoming a Christian should be done willingly and not because of the society we grow up in.   Christianity should be one's life as in everyday must be considered as Sunday. A Christian should hold onto the Bible as he/she hold onto his/her electronic devices such cellphones, laptops, iPods, iPads, etc,.....
