For the longest I wanted to believe that I had no hate and no resentment towards my father. I acted like it never bothered me that he wasn’t there or that I didn’t need him or any other man to teach me the ropes of manhood . . . Just a year ago all the emotions of abandonment I had growing up came rushing back like a flood. All those years of burying how I truly felt finally caught up with me. I had to face myself and call my father. I had to forgive him and let go of all the resentment I had for my father. . . I knew I couldn’t run from this anymore. I knew I had to do it for my wife,and my kids. I had to do it for the youth that I serve. But most of all I HAD TO DO IT FOR ME IN ORDER TO BE FREE.

Dont judge the day by the harvest you reap, instead judge the day by the seeds you sow

Its so easy to get caught up in the grind, chase, and pursuit of your dreams that you forget to take time to be grateful for what you have and how far God has brought you. Im guilty of this.. Sometimes i forget just how far God has brought me, the only thing that consumes my mind is my future. Its important we take a moment every day and just be grateful for the simple things like : life, health, functioning body parts, etc.... BE GRATEFUL it leads to abundance !!
