WHY ARE YOU IN MY LIFE?
SO I WAS TALKING TO BLANCA YESTERDAY AND SHE TOLD ME A STORY THAT MADE ME PONDER THIS CERTAIN TOPIC OF “WHY ARE YOU IN MY LIFE?”. YOU EVER GET THOSE TIMES IN LIFE WHERE A CERTAIN PERSON SHOWS UP AND YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHY THEY’RE THERE? I MEAN IT COULD BE A GOOD PRESENCE OR A BAD PRESENCE, BUT NONETHELESS A NEW ENTITY HAS BEEN PLACED IN YOUR LIFE AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHY!
FOR HER IT WAS AN UNPLEASANT VISIT, ONE IN WHICH SHE WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH, AND YET THERE IT WAS (OR SHALL I SAY HE). IT REMINDS ME OF HOW SO MANY PEOPLE ALLOW SITUATIONS/OTHER PEOPLE INTO THEIR LIFE THAT DON’T DO ANYTHING BUT BRING THEM DOWN. AND YET THEY SIT AND ASK GOD WHY IS THIS PERSON HERE WHEN THEY HAVE THE ANSWER INSIDE THEM, THEY JUST DON’T WANT TO FACE THE TRUTH THAT THIS PERSON NEEDS TO LEAVE. I THINK WE SOMETIMES REMAIN IN BAD SITUATIONS BECAUSE THE PAIN OF CHANGE IS GREATER THAN THE PAIN OF STAYING THE SAME…MEANING, TO CHANGE AND ELIMINATE THAT NEGATIVE SITUATION/PERSON WILL TAKE AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF WILL, COURAGE AND TRUST….TRUST THAT GOD WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ALONE IF YOU MAKE THIS DECISION. LONELINESS IS PROBABLY THE SCARIEST IDEA FOR SO MANY OF US. THE THOUGHT THAT NO ONE WILL WANT US FORCES US TO BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO HOLD ON TO ANYONE WHO EVEN APPEARS LIKE THEY LOVE US, JUST IN CASE THAT LIE MAGICALLY APPEARS TO BE TRUE, WE’LL BE OK. BLANCA WAS SMART. SHE SAID NO AND FINALLY LET THAT WEIGHT DROP FROM HER LIFE AND IT WAS AMAZING THE SOUND OF PRIDE AND ACCOMPLISHMENT I HEARD IN HER VOICE. IT WAS LIKE SHE CLIMBED THE EVEREST OF HER HEART AND WAS STANDING AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN WITH HER ARMS STRETCHED WIDE TAKING IN THE BEAUTY OF FREEDOM’S BREEZE.
I WISH THAT FOR EVERY ONE OF YOU! FOR EVERY GIRL THINKING THAT ONLY ONE MAN WILL LOVE HER SO THAT’S THE BEST SHE CAN GET SO SHE MIGHT AS WELL STICK AROUND AND DEAL WITH THE ABUSE OR UNGODLY PRESSURES…OR FOR EVERY GUY WHO’S ALWAYS HEARD THAT HE’LL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING SO HE BELIEVES IT AND ACTS LIKE HE CARES FOR NOTHING OR NO ONE…THESE WORDS ARE FOR YOU! I PRAY YOU UNDERSTAND THAT JOY WAS A PROMISE THAT THE LORD GAVE TO YOU! HAPPINESS IS TRANSIENT, IT COMES AND GOES, BUT TRUE JOY HOLDS YOU UP THROUGH SAD TIMES CAUSE IT KNOWS THAT MERCY AND JOY IS COMING IN THE MORNING.
BUT ALL HOPE IS NOT LOST FRIENDS! I GOT A VISIT FROM A NEW FRIEND THAT HAS PROVEN TO BE AN AMAZING BLESSING TO MY LIFE AND FOR THAT I AM VERY GREATFUL. THE MOST AMAZING THING GOD COULD BLESS YOU WITH IS GREAT PEOPLE. NOT CARS, MONEY OR CLOTHES, BUT PEOPLE! THEY’RE THE ONLY THING YOU CAN TAKE WITH YOU WHEN YOU DIE, MEANING THEIR SOULS WILL LIVE ON ALONG WITH YOUR INVESTMENT IN THEM. SO DON’T GIVE UP ON PEOPLE JUST YET…I’M GLAD I DIDN’T AND I’M THANKFUL FOR ANYONE WHO ENTERS MY LIFE AND IS WILLING TO BE A GENUINE CONTRIBUTOR TO MY SUCCESS AND GROWTH AS A MAN OF GOD. THANK YOU MISS YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE LOL!!!
LOVE YOU GUYS…

You have an amazing way of saying things I have noticed. This literally just made me tear up and I don't do that so often. This applys to my life so much. I get so connected with people and try to see the best in them but instead I let them influence me to do things I know God isn't proud of. Things that I'm not proud of. And then I get hurt when I decide to do the right thing and they shut me out because of it so instead of following through and knowing God is going to be there for me no matter what, I continue on because I don't want to lose the people that mean the most to me. The people who I see SO much potential in. So instead I fall. I fall hard and I fall flat on my face instead of living up to my true potential. All because I don't want to see them go. Because even though I want more than ANYTHING to be closer to God and have him take complete control of my life, sometimes I think to myself "why would he help me? I've pushed Him aside far too many times and probably going to do it again so why would He want to help me. He has more important things to worry about". And I know that's not true, but that's how it feels. If someone did to me what I do to God all the time, I wouldn't want to help them out or even give a flying rip about them. But that's the thing, he does give a rip about my life. It's me that doesn't care sometimes and thinks that this is all I deserve and this is the best it's gunna be when truly it's not. It's not at all.
Thank you for this. Thank you. Hopefully, I will learn to let God in completely and let some people out.

I am 21 and I made a mistake and had a baby. When I found out I was haveing a baby my daughters father left me. After my daughter was born I found out he had cheated on me and the other girl had a son 10 days after my daughter was born. nonetheless I forgive him..dont ask me why! I have no idea. part of me still loves him but I guess i stay with him because anytime A guy I like finds out about my daughter he turns and runs. I'm scared of being a single mom forever. Its not fair to my daughter. but I know holding on to her dad is just ruining her life. he lives in NYC and said he was going to move here to be with us yet he keeps coming up with reasons he cant come. He has seen my daughter once when she was a month old. she is now 7 months. I dont want my daughter to have the same like I had. my dad was never around either.. would promise to come see me and than not show. I dont want that for my daughter but Im scared of being a single mom and not giving my daughter a good life.
good job manny:) very encouraging.
I have to say I relate to this statement very well. One interesting thing bout me i think is I really remember every relasionship/friendship i've had in my life as a kid. The good and the bad. I personally thing each has its special impact, because it teaches you one of Gods life lessons. As I've graduated High School I've been able to let go of alot more, let my relasionship with God grow stronger and just really build some new helpful relasionships i never could of had in high school. In the end it all comes with maturity, which I've learned to accomplish in Gods timing. I'm still wating on the wisdom, and calling. While you are waiting its good to keep the faith, cuz thats the perfect time for the devil to test you. Yes God will not let you down until then or even afterwards.
My final statement is Im still figuring out who are the real people in my life, that actually mean something too me, like who are the people God sent and who are the ones I put on myself.
Well God Bless Everyone, Group 1 Crew Rock On Brothers and Sista!!!
