So I came into a situation to help friends of mine out Early Satuday morning. I mean it was nothing more than picking them up in Towson at 4am, but I don't the whole ride up there I was just reflecting. Reflecting on how much my friends had been their for me.
I've been in that situation before needing friends in a time of need, probably more times than I can count. If it wasn't for those friends the Lord only knows where I'd be. My rebuilding as I like to call the last two years, was built on the support of some great friends. 3 of who I got a chance to see and for two of them help last night. But as I reflected on those experiences with my friends helping me I grew even more grateful for their support. Because there have been times where I was in a similar situation, or maybe one more extreme.
"Do unto others if what the good book says" , is a phrase one of my oldest friends always says, and not going to lie I'm quite embarrassed to admit that I may not have 100 percent followed that saying meaning, treat others how you'd like to be treated. But I do try. And I honestly think if everyone in the world tried to "do unto others" I think the world could be a better place...

It's in god's Hands ALWAYS!!!I (Early morning Spiritual Message)
So things didn't go your way, the job you wanted you didn't quite qualify for... The girl you loved left you... You didn't get the best grades in high school.... So you're down and out, all a mess... It's life.
So yeah life gets a little hard. The tone of an entire day can change in the blink of an eye. Our expectations and plans may get ruined in a moments notice, often at times for reasons we cannot quite figure out. For reason that make no sense.
We find ourselves always asking WHY?
For one, things happen how they're supposed to be with no error, for God makes no errors. Things that have happened past present and future are indeed of a larger scale plan that we cannot quite understand. Everyday when you wake up and go to school, work or wherever we plan our days according to our liking. Sometimes things don't go our way, and we get a little pissy for a moment. Some people are good at reacting to such event changes, and others not so much.
But what about those big changes.... You know what I mean?
Breakups, loss of jobs, relocation of living arrangements, etc... We often have even bigger problems hurdling those WHYs.
In my personal life in the 23.7 years I've existed on this beautiful planet I always find myself asking why. Asking why me, how come. My mother, and friends alike tell me it was one of my biggest problems growing up. Still as an adult I find myself questioning and asking! Sometimes, I find myself becoming clouded by anger and personal confusion. IT clouds me from being able to think about the important things and sometimes forget the blessings in my face that I'm too clouded to see.
My Grandmother used to tell me whenever I was upset, to put it in God's hands. Whenever something didn't go my way, whenever I was upset, she would tell me to pray, and just let God in. Growing up I guess I never really put any serious thought in it. But in the last year during my own spiritual journey I've grown a deep testimony of it. I'm not saying don't still question, because honestly I do, and it's in our Human essence to question. That's what makes us, well us. But knowing that God has my back, knowing that maybe a change in direction might be the difference between cataclysmic destruction and great joy gives me faith.
I don't have the answers, in fact I don't think there's one person on this planet with all the answers. But I do know God has our backs, and he wont burden us with more than we can handle.
There's a song I like to listen to when I'm down upset and uneasy. It helps me get back on track and back into the spirit. I'd like to share it with you all...

Check it out when you get the chance.
In conclusion because it is 310 am and I work at 11 am, I will leave you with this. When life gets hard, when we forget the big picture, remember that He's there for us. He's got our backs.
Goodnight all!

The World has Gone on
So much has happened in my personal world and the world around us, making it a breeding ground for tons of posts. With school and work it's been tough to keep up on this thing, but no doubt about it I shall return as The voice of the voiceless
