~Sorry it has taken sooo long~

heres a few pics of cali ( for you paige ) Lol

Me and Sissy goofing off

Alot has taken place since the last time I have blogged. So lets see

here, I am about to be an uncle in October!! I am pretty excited about

that. My sister and I are and always will be very close. We used to joke

around about who will have the first baby and she would always say,

"I dont ever want kids" Lol. But she is going to be an excellent mommy.

My nanny(daddy's mother) went to the doctor and they told her that

she might have cancer. She had pre-cancerous cells. She is a good

christian lady and has always been the glue that has held our family

together. I was in walmart when daddy called me and told me I needed to

call nanny. So when I got home I called. My aunt tracy answered and told me the news. I was upset a bit. I had already lost someone I and many

other people loved very dearly to cancer and I just couldn't stand the thought

of loosing someone else. Also, on top of the stress, of the news... Her husband passed away 3 weeks ago. She was very upset. She misses him alot but knows she will see him again.

She had lost her first husband(my daddy's father) to brain cancer about 13 years ago.

But she knows that she will see both of them again one day.

Well she had a surgery this past wednesday, and the results came

back and she does NOT have cancer. She is really really sore and is trying

to recover from it. I am so thankful for everybodys prayers.

God is sooooooooo good. Words do not

begin to describe. I know that I have slacked in giving God enough credit

for everything in my life here lately, But I have learned rather you want to accept it or

not God is ALWAYS in control. Nobody is guaranteed another second on

this earth. Sooo be thankful for every moment you share with your loved ones and

never take anything or anyone for granted.

Just to let you know im alive. ツ

I will post pics from trip soon!!

In forever and you think he is thinking the
same thing...Just know we will all

not worrying about anything that

.:Quotes:.

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

"Save the drama for your Mamma"

“When God gave you to me he never said that you were mine, that I could keep you always--only borrowed for a time. Now, He's called you home, I'm sad and I shed tears. Yet, I'm glad He loaned you to me and we had these many years.”

This past weekend, Nate, Mrs.Jenny,Bro.Thomas,Savannah,Gabe,Cheyenne,Mike,Sissy,Daddy,Cali and I went to the badmouth baptist blowout! I made like twenty new friends. Praise God, It got on like donkey kong. This is a little glimpse of it. You can hardly hear from all the shouting! His church is located in Pensacola, Florida.

♥Love of God♥Charity♥

Dec. 31st, I preached for the first time. For those of you keeping up with my blog, I am going to show what I preached on. :D

♣God's Love♣

I preached out of I Cor. 13:1-4. There through out the passages,
The word Charity is mentioned. For those of you who don't know
what Charity means; It means "to love".

*thought- (1) The most quoted verse on love is-
"For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him, should not
perish but have everlasting life."

-most preachers use this verse to try to win lost souls to the Lord.

(2) The most misquoted verse in the Bible on love states-
"God is love"

-Now you hear this stated alot when people are trying to justify for
the wrong lifestyle their living.

*But the Bible says " God hates the workers of iniquity." It also says "God hates sin"


•Number (1) and Number (2) are the same thing, with two different view points•


[♣] When I think of God's Love, 3 things come to mind[♣]

1.)It Is The Reason Jesus Died John 3:16

God loved us enough to send his Son to die for us. Just so we would have the choice
to get saved. He did it for a CHANCE that we might get saved. That's what blows my
mind. If you ask most men today to send their son to die, so that someone might be
saved one day...what do you think they would say?? No. But that's why I serve the
God I serve and not any other.☺

2.)It Is The Remedy For Sin Romans 6:23

Here; I turned to Romans 6: 23.

*Romans 6:23- "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Sin owes a payment-: The only hope a sinner has is in the Death of Christ.

*Romans 5:8- " But God commendeth His love torward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Everyone is going to hell unless you turn to God in earnest prayer, and ask him to come into your heart and forgive you for your many sins, and if you are sincere and turn from your old life, You can be saved.!


3.)It Rebuilds Saints-

May I ask, what makes: Drunks want to turn away from drinking
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Drug Addicts turn from drugs & not want to see them again
•••••••••••••what rebuilds a broken family? ...I could go on and on. There's one simple answer-----------God's Love!!

God's Love can over come anything. God used my Nanny to show me that<< She used to wake up every morning at 4 or 5 and start praying for every member in our church and family. I honestly think she is the one thing besides God that has held my whole family together. She is a great Christian lady and testimony of how Christians should live.


[♠] It's a shame God loved us enough to die for us and we don't love him enough to live for him[♠]


-We should all be thankful for God's love...if it wasn't for His love we wouldn't be here today-♥

♫Enlighteners♫

I would just like to tell yall about these two dear sweet ladies, that
are very close to my heart.

There names are Frankie and Donna. They were both born blind.
They struggled reading and learning in regular school so they went
to a school specifically made for blind people. They did not know each
other before they went there. When they got there, they were put in
a dorm. They were dorm mates...They became best friends. Now, Donna
was saved as a little girl in an assembly of God church. She was eight
years of age. Well Back to Frankie...She however wasnt saved when
she met donna. Well Donna basically locked Frankie in the room one
day with her in it, and told her she wanted her to get saved. Cause if
she didnt she would go to hell. Well after talking and praying and asking the
Lord to come in to her heart, she got saved. Then they decided to sing
as a duo. They came up with the Enlighteners, cause they liked to
enlighten people's spirits when they sang. So they started going to
churches and singing. Well they would get dropped off at a bus stop and
go where ever the bus was going and through help of kind people they
always seemed to find a church to sing in. Now they had no care taker,
income, or sight. They lived by faith from place to place...till one day a
man decided to become there caretaker/ driver. They soon got a motor
home and started going all over the place singing in churches. Which I
met them in Memphis, Tennessee; at Bro. Sony Tolbert's church. They
really struck a cord in my heart. We started going to campmeetings
with them and my family and them became friends. They even came to
my dad's campmeetings in Mississippi. Then when my dad couldnt keep
up with the church bills, we had to let it go. I think we saw them one time
after we let the church go. They were always in my mind for the three years
we didnt have a church to go to. I really wanted to see them and just let
them know I loved them and I am still praying for them. Well Today at
church I walked in and there they were. It was a prayer answered to see them.
I just wanted to let yall know a little about them. I love them and they are
really a blessing. They are blind and still serve the Lord more than half of
us that have able bodies. Its a shame!!

when you look at the sky what do you see?

Honestly, What do you see?

When I look at the sky I see a number of different things:
I see a cover of gases that hide Heaven.
I see something that only My God could do.
I see a reaon to stay die hard about doing right.

I took this beautiful picture one day when I was day dreaming.

a.)I long to see that day when the clouds will be rolled back and the Lord shall come to get us.
b.)I know that only God could make it to where there is different colors all at one time in the sky.
c.) I think as long as I can look up and see the clouds moving and me have oxygen to breath, I will just buckle down and stay die hard about doing things right and making good decisions and spread the word of Jesus Christ My Savior...:D

Im ready for the day where when I want to see the pretty sky, I have to look down instead of looking up!

♫What a day that will be, when my Jesus I shall see, when I look upon his face, the one who saved me by his grace. When he takes me by the hand and leads me through the promise land...what a day...Glorious day...that will be.♫

▒ànothÉrDày,█ ànothÉr Night █On This Old Dirt Hill▒

Although It Is My Birthday,

As I get older I understand that joys in life
Is not materialistic things...They are the
People that you hold close to your heart.
I cherish every moment that I have with
my sister, mother, father, and friends!! Cali
and I do not get along that well...But when
either she or I pass on, I dont want her to
be able to say I was a bad brother. "You never
know how much you love them till there gone"
To My Wonderful Parents!! Of course I thank you
for raising me up the way you did...I love Yall more
than words can describe, So im not even going to try.
Without them; I probably would be out like any of
the other 17 year olds. And To My Friends!!
Friends are people you can go to about anything
and not have to worry about it going anywhere.
I can count my true friends on one hand...BUT
HONESTLY that one hand is all I need. I rather have
friends like some of you that are reading right now than
a so called friend, who wants to be my friend one day
then talk smack behind my back the next day. :D All I Know Is
No One Day Down↓ Here On This Old Dirt Hill, Can Compare To That One Day In Heaven!!•◘○♦♣♠☺☻♥Each Day I Wake Up Is Another Day I Wish I Was In Heaven With My Loved Ones That Are There♥.
