Swagga - A Random Thought

It's a blessing to be in a place of assurance!
To walk with confidence in the destiny set before us.
To swagger with a strut of formidable supremacy.
Many aim to satisfy the power within but are halted by circumstances in and out of their control…

But, there is beauty in mystery.
What Mystery?
The mystery of life gives us spontaneity and calms us in the pride we dare to maneuver with.
This mystery gives us an humbling satisfaction and controls our ambition...
Then strategically placing us in, what we now call...

"THE WILL!"

There is a will, you know?
And where there's a WILL there a way!

Dare to be strong!
Dare to be vigilant!
Dare to be humble!
Dare to be diligent!

Dare To Be You!

WILL You?

With Passion

A year ago today I made a decision setting my life on an alternate course of redemption and destiny. I said, "no more" to the plaguing problems and polluted parts in my life and set sail on a journey, which would change me forever. A year ago today I built the courage to leave my hometown and move to Sacramento and checked into rehab.

It's funny what a sober mind teaches especially when accustomed to daily alcoholic streaks and destined to die of either liver cancer or an S.T.D. A year ago today, I figure if I would die, I would die in the pursuit of happiness, so I left. I spent three weeks in a Christian rehabilitation center and came out set on the wings of power. I don't look at alcohol the same way.

It used to be my best friend but "What A Friend [I] Have in Jesus?" It was my confidant when the world around forgot I existed but God step in and shook me to the contents of my soul and said, "You are mine!" I'd been in a six-year marriage with alcohol but today we've been divorce for one-solid-year. And I'm blessed.

I'm blessed because my soul is free…

Greyhound Bus Ticket to Sacramento: $35.00
The Cost to Stay Drunk for the Night: $12.00
A Normal Sack of "Yessy!" $10.00

Being able to wake up in the morning and look in the mirror: PRICELESS!!!

There are some things in life you pay for… for everything else there's Jesus.
