Matthew 9:19-21
…19 Jesus got up and began to follow him, and so did His disciples. 20 And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years,came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak; 21for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch His garment, I will get well."…
A
lot of times people come to me and they ask me for my best advise. It
seems that we live in a modern day society that ask the questions “What
do you want your legacy to be” or “What do you know for sure”. Well I
know that life has many adventures and roads and nothing is guaranteed
that we can see in the natural. I know what heart beak is when you want
something so bad it just makes you cry. I know what its like to be the
baby boy of a person who suffered and died from the illness of
alcoholism. I know what its like to get in front of people in a crowd
and hope that something you say will give them a little bit more hope
for the day ahead. I know what its like to feel what you want and not
have it. To pray for something so long and not know what the outcome
will be. I have dreams, fears and stories that have yet to be told. But
if you ask me what my best advice is that would be to desperately get to
Jesus and use the women with the blood issues as a clear example of
determination and fearlessness. She didn't have any other options, all
her resources had ran out and no one could meet her need and give her
what she was looking for: doctor, lawyer, friend, family member,or even
spiritual leader. But when she heard that Jesus was coming into town,
she picked up the shame that had been placed on her,ignored the physical
pain she was in, silenced the embarrassment that was to come her way
and she just got to Jesus because she declared if I just touch his garment I will get well.
I'm not talking about organized religion, even though I personally am a
advocate for it,what I am talking about is a personal relationship with
Jesus. All of us can understand when our desire or wants aren't meet,
but as humans we all have a deep spiritual need to be forgiven, made
brand new and to be loved to the core unconditionally. Where all going
to make mistakes, take set backs and fall off the road some days but if
we can just keep getting up and getting to Jesus he will meet your
needs. Hang in there, and don't forget your just passing through this
earth until you reach your heavenly home. #StayEncouraged

Life Is Hard Now Deal With It
In the book of Esther the powerful words that are stated and
spoken of conviction, morals and determination states as follows: “If I Perish
Let Me Perish But I Won’t Change My Convictions”. All we know for certain about
ourselves is that we are all going to die. You may have a funeral, celebration,
party or just a grave site gathering. But whatever you decided to do you know
that regardless if it is by casket or Urn that your road will end. What do you
believe in? Jesus, Karma, Angels, or nothing at all; the debate is settled that
you will exit and you don’t know when or how you just know you’re going. I
would encourage you to find a life worth living not just for money but for
appreciation. So many people I run into in life get paralyzed by hard times or
broken hearts. It didn’t work out, someone died, things didn’t go the way you
wanted them, and people’s expectations let you down. Whatever the situation is
for you it’s time to live, face the facts no matter how uncomfortable they are
and move on. There are no guarantees in life but the one thing I personally
know for sure is that if you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ he
will meet all the needs of our soul. I am not saying it’s going to be perfect
facing the truth about what you’re in denial about is never perfect or easy all
I am just saying if you hold on, live right and stay in personal prayer with
Jesus then he will give you the desires of your heart. Life is hard so you
might as well stick with a God who can be trusted and his name is Jesus Christ…
Love Ya God Bless & #KeepItMoving

Robert House III #101
Everyone's life is a class and we all have something to offer that can
teach the world about ourselves as we see the reflection of each other
in our stories, trails, joys and hardships. We all our teachers in one
way or another and we all influence each other in some way. As I put a
close to the year of life of 28 I have done a lot of thinking over this
last year and what I have really found to be true is that we all are
searching for truth. We might call it different, or get to it different,
or feel, come up with a theory, idea or state of being; but we all are
looking for the truth. So if you were to ask me what my life class would
be at the ending of 28 years on earth it would simply be: Jesus is the
best thing that has ever happened to me. I have had a mother who always
gave her best to me and now as an adult the more we grow together I can
really love her life and by doing that love her more in our way. I have
had a grandmother that put prayer and holiness in me and taught me to go
to God for everything and I have seen the beauty of her strength as she
put her 1st born child in a box and then lowered him into the ground. I
have witnessed the consistency of my grandfather and his love has
liberated me to be whatever I want to be without explanation to anyone. I
have buried my father who while he was a piss poor parent, he was a
great friend to so many. I have been to England, Mexico, and over 10
states. I have sat at the feet of Dr. Albert Mohler and Dr. Phil
Roberts. I have loved, loss, been loved, loss love, hurt people and been
hurt. I have had joys that I cant explain. I have lived in Moberly,
Louisville, and Kansas City. I have lived. But with all of that when I
look over the entire story: Jesus has been the best thing that has ever
happened to me. When I was saved but lost he stayed. When I was sad and
tormented in my soul he stayed. When I wanted him to leave because I
didnt feel worthy enough to walk in his love he stayed. He has stayed
with me the entire trip and has always been faithful. So whats your life
story? What do you reflect? What do you aim to please or accomplish?
What are you teaching? The best thing you can give and strive to do is
to love because it liberates the person to be themselves in whatever
form God has created them to be. So thanks for the bday wishes in
advanced but my biggest gift would be that you would get to the truth
and walk in it. God Bless you and I love you for real....
