The journey
(London, Ky.)
Life is a journey.
Wrote some of this in 2014 and some in 2016 but it is still very applicable.
Challenges are made to be overcome. There is no progress without the process. Without change there is no growth, I hate change I kept the same style of glasses because I hate change; I like the changes that are happening not all change is bad. Life has a process about it and I am going to share some personal stuff with you and I hope it helps you. There is no testimony without the test and no message without the mess. We are watching a miracle happen.
My speech is a process but it is getting better. My movement walking and motor skills are a process but it is getting better. I am not where I want to be yet but I am getting there I am using my phone and laptop less for communication. My motor skills are improving.
Yes we all have issues problems [challenges] however, challenges are made to be overcome. Yes I have challenges [disabilities] but I am now working on them making my challenges [disabilities]. I am an overcomer and a conqueror!
If we don’t try in life we are useless to ourselves and others I am making effort now, I am believing for a healing and I was not putting any effort into getting it now I am… faith without effort [trying] action is useless James 2:14-26amp hat is the use (profit), my brethren, for anyone to profess to have faith if he has no [good] works [to show for it]? Can [such] faith save [his soul]? If a brother or sister is poorly clad and lacks food for each day, And one of you says to him, Good-bye! Keep [yourself] warm and well fed, without giving him the necessities for the body, what good does that do? So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead). But someone will say [to you then], You [say you] have faith, and I have [good] works. Now you show me your [alleged] faith apart from any [good] works [if you can], and I by [good] works [of obedience] will show you my faith. You believe that God is one; you do well. So do the demons believe and shudder [in terror and horror such as [a]make a man’s hair stand on end and contract the surface of his skin]! Are you willing to be shown [proof], you foolish (unproductive, spiritually deficient) fellow, that faith apart from [good] works is inactive and ineffective and worthless? Was not our forefather Abraham [shown to be] justified (made acceptable to God) by [his] works when he brought to the altar as an offering his [own] son Isaac? You see that [his] faith was cooperating with his works, and [his] faith was completed and reached its supreme expression [when he implemented it] by [good] works. And [so] the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed in (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on) God, and this was accounted to him as righteousness (as conformity to God’s will in thought and deed), and he was called God’s friend. You see that a man is justified (pronounced righteous before God) through what he does and not alone through faith [through works of obedience as well as by what he believes]. So also with Rahab the harlot—was she not shown to be justified (pronounced righteous before God) by [good] deeds when she took in the scouts (spies) and sent them away by a different route? For as the human body apart from the spirit is lifeless, so faith apart from [its] works of obedience is also dead.
Have you ever felt alone? Who hasn’t right? Have you ever felt like no one cared? Who hasn’t wanted to die at some point? Who hasn’t felt like they didn’t have any purpose?
I have related to everyone now…
When you lose something and or some one you didn’t need it to fulfill God’s purpose. When people reject you it is their loss not yours and you do not need them in your life.
[I do it because, though He slay me, yet will I wait for and trust Him and] behold, He will slay me; I have no hope—nevertheless, I will maintain and argue my ways before Him and even to His face. JOB 13:15 AMP
I like to think of it this way even though HE slay me [take everything from me] I will still praise and trust HIM.
Ever since something happened in 2001 and especially ever since DJ went home I have wanted to die I prayed GOD would let me die that HE would take me home. For whatever reason and purpose I am still here and GOD has a purpose for my life.
DJ was my support. I had lost that support that person that I called my best friend. However I now try and try more. I try to communicate and do it without my cell phone and or laptop. He would often interpret what I said to people and for people. Ever since I got the blackberry and iphone I had got lazier in my speech it is was easier to write stuff out than say it with verbal communication. My speech therapist DJ wanted me to do better, however more than they want me to do better I want to do better! I am doing better.
Last year I walked everyday with my uncle this uncle who is now at home he went home in March. I am communicating without the use of my phone and or laptop. I have planted a garden and five bushes. Things are coming together in ways I could only dream about.
DJ filled my life with wisdom and knowledge. DJ was so encouraging. Words can heal or kill and sadly people do a lot of killing and with their words. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]. PROVERBS 18:21amp
At LEE UNIVERSITY when I was feeling down DJ once said think of how sweet it would be to have a girlfriend before you got healed…
I have to choose to be happy where I am today right now. Happiness is a choice.
I now go to an awesome faith building church the church is GRACE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH.
When DJ went home I thought and felt like I lost everything and the loss is painful but what I have left is POWERFUL.
I HAVE A CHURCH, SHEPHERDS, FRIENDS AARON AND LYNNDESA CHAD AND JENNIFER JAMES AND TIFFANY WHITNEY MARCUM JESSICA MINTO GENA GRAY RANDY AND REBECCA AND SO MANY OTHERS WHO CARE, HELP, AND ENCOURAGE ME. There are people that care… LETS NOT FORGET MY BROTHERA AND FRIENDS THE MAN PHILLIP ERIC AND THE ENFORCER MATTHEW LEE.
I could have took something to never wake up and ended my life and I have felt like it if I did that would have been hell’s gain and I do have value.
I have overcome and conquered a lot. I am more than conqueror through Jesus! Romans 8:37 amp Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors [a]and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.
GOD promised me a miracle a healing HE didn’t tell me the process I would have to go through to get the healing, DBS [brain surgery] it has been a process and when I am relaxed and rested I do good but when I am tired and stressed anyone can tell I have problems. I am STANDING ON THE PROMISES IF DBS IS HOW GOD IS GOING TO HEAL / GIVE ME A MIRACLE THEN IT WILL WORK. GOD USES DOCTORS TO DO HIS WORK.
I hate when people are too nice to me; I want people to be honest with me not rude or mean but honest.
When my dreams are lost at sea that is when JESUS rescues me. When we stop struggling and give everything to Jesus, HE will take care of you! Therefore I tell you, stop being [a]perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the [b]span of his life? And why should you be anxious about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field and [c]learn thoroughly how they grow; they neither toil nor spin. Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his [d]magnificence (excellence, dignity, and grace) was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. But seek ([e]aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness ([f]His way of doing and being right), and then all these things [g]taken together will be given you besides. So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:25-34 AMP
I look at the birds outside they don’t stress over their meal or mate or depression because GOD provides for them.
Let me tell you depression is not my baby cerebral palsy is not my child dystonia is not mine! Yes that is the diagnosis and yes I have symptoms but I am healed! You see there is no progress without the process. Sometimes healing takes time but I am still healed! Isaiah 53:3-5 amp says. He was despised and rejected and forsaken by men, a Man of sorrows and pains, and acquainted with grief and sickness; and like One from Whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we did not appreciate His worth or have any esteem for Him. Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy]. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.
God made me in HIS image that is why I praise HIM. HE don’t make no trash. Psalms 139:12-14 amp Even the darkness hides nothing from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You. For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well.
My speech is a process but it is getting better. My movement walking and motor skills is a process but it is getting better.
Yes we all have issues problems [challenges] however, challenges are made to be overcome. Yes I have challenges [disabilities] but I am now working on them making my challenges [disabilities]. I am an overcomer and a conqueror!
Before DJ left to go to Tennessee, then go home he told me, “You will have good days and bad days but it is a process.”
Now, all the overnight cialis is made of Sildenafil citrate. Erection was a dream to me. order viagra overnight http://pamelaannschoolofdance.com/aid-8500 Among all medications available online viagra australia in the present time, and these promptly help in overcoming the erectile dysfunction. You will need to discuss the condition with their physicians. prices in uk viagra you could try these out He was right I have had bad days and some good days but this is process and there is no progress without the process.
We must never stop trying [putting forth effort to do stuff in life] if it was easy it would not require any effort. When we don’t try we fail others but most importantly when we don’t try we fail ourselves.
I spent my life it seams like trying to prove stuff to people, however I am done trying to prove stuff to people as DJ said, if people don’t accept you it is their loss. I tried to prove I could walk and him my best friend and it was cold.
There is only one NATURE BOY AND ONLY ONE TRUE CHAMPION! It is time to style n profile…
Challenges are made to be overcome. There is no progress without the process. Without change there is no growth, I hate change I kept the same style of glasses because I hate change; I like the changes that are happening not all change is bad. Life has a process about it and I am going to share some personal stuff with you and I hope it helps you. There is no testimony without the test and no message without the mess. We are watching a miracle happen.
DJ would be proud that I am trying and The Nature Boy is stylin ‘n profilin.

In 1993-94 when I was in the seventh grade at East Bernstadt Independent School and in Mrs. Glenda Elliot’s class I along with my class was asked to do a paper and read it to the class and look in to the future tell the class where you thought you would be in 2014 and 2015. With cartoons like the Jetsons many in the class said we would be doing something like the Jetsons. I never thought I would be alive in 2015. I gave this thoughtful answer I believe I will be with my father in heaven. Oh it will be worth the journey when we get there. I never thought I would see the day when America said homosexual marriage was right and constitutional. Israel wanted a king to be like other nations and got it. America got the change of Obama and got it. As the great leader of the wrestling stable the IV horsemen said be careful for what you wish for you just may get it. God help us next Tuesday and when June comes.
We have couples living together not married says God considers us married. I never thought I would see the day to when the Government would pay girls to have babies and get on “welfare”.
I never thought I would see the day but it’s bible being lived out.
In 2009 before DJ went home I preached it was for mark Radford on December 9. I would look over at him he had a way of keeping me slow and a way for me to know when to take breaths he did simple hand movements. For whatever reason it worked.
I guess I have got lazy and it is easier to fall back on phone and laptop for communication. It has been easier than trying. But faith takes action I am believing for a miracle so I have to put forth some effort.
I told DJ I wanted to communicate without help as long as he was here I’d have him help me.
I am going to be honest I am kinda overwhelmed. I am a bit scared people won’t understand me I guess this is where faith and effort comes in.
Guess people are going to expect me to talk more I posted and got 100 likes and comments.
I do feel like a retard and like I am deformed posting all this. But people need to know what God is doing and some people don’t know where I have came from and where I am going. People see symptoms of a condition I see where I am going.
God has not completed it yet but I can’t help but share every step. Philippians 1:6
He never promised it would be easy! See if it was easy it would not require any effort!
Without challenges there is nothing to overcome. I am blessed beyond measure! I have been depressed wanted to die been negative. Now God is helping me overcome stuff. Happiness is a choice. When I came out of wheelchair in 2002 I made a choice. I am making a choice to make the effort and work on my speech and movement.
Tonight I am going to talk to one of my pastors pastor patty. I am sure others will want me to talk to.
I have to tell myself my phone is not working and laptop is not working.
Monday I gave my order at Cracker Barrel like it was nothing I said a hard word catfish and yesterday at the dentist I said some hard words prescription and some other stuff. This is a change I am excited and happy about this is a good change.
God is working! God is still healing! God is still doing miracles! Mark 11:22-24 Isaiah 53:4-5 1 Peter 2;24

So many people have went home. DJ went home in 2009 and it still does not seam real. In 2014 my encourager uncle Eugene went home he had me walking every day. In 2016 my grandmother mom’s mom went home two years after my uncle to the day.
There is an old school path that is tried and true. Thus says the Lord: Stand by the roads and look; and ask for the eternal paths, where the good, old way is; then walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it! [Matt. 11:29.] (Jeremiah 6:16 AMP)
Heaven will be worth the journey when we get there.
