Mantles Are Caught Not Taught!!!!!!!!!!!! 05/27/07

The tile that is presented here was inspired by my pastors message on yesterday I was truly blessed by it.of course he came from 2 Kings the second chapter I was truly in awe at the words that he began to to speak about Elijah and Elisha. Elisha was such a loyal servant to Elijah and what a shame it was when it was time for Elisha to pass on his mantle and he had no one to pass it there to pass it to.I think about today in the churches and I say to myself are there people willing to walk so close to the man of God never leaving his side for a moment,desiring a double portion of what their man or woman of God had on his or her life. ( talking about the anointing) It's tragic because there are many Elisha out there today with no one to pass their mantle two, Why is that? do people not desire such an anointing.Well anyways I'm just talking I have so many unanswered questions when it comes down to all of this stuff I need to keep studying and reading.

Until next time Catch the Mantle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inside My Life

The last time I posted I was talking about dancing for our mother's day prayer breakfast, well I did and it went over well from what my mom said I had everyone crying . I particularlly don't like that part but i'm glad that it touch their hearts..................I had a wonderful saturday dinner with the pastors wife it was very encouraging and edifying and I am happy we had a chance to talk it's been a long time coming....................I am kind of stress because I really need to find a job this summer I have some prospects but I know i'm not going to be very happy doing any of them I did think about staying in TN and working but I know I would not have been hppy there either and it would have been very hard staying there and not seeing New York and my family for a while..........My brother has been getting into a lot of trouble lately and just yeterday he got jumped by a few guys and they really did a number on his face it took everthing in me not to laugh at him because he has been worned so maany times about who he hangs out with and where he hangs out but he is as stubborn as a ox and he does not listen so my thing is you reap what you sow. I know that may be hard but I have no more sympathy for him............yeah so that is what my life looks like right about now, I have more stuff to share but i'm teired of typing so until next time..........................Catch the Mantle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Use Your Gift to Bless Others

So Mothers day is quickly approaching and I have to Honor them through that ministry of dance and of course that means I have to bust out my creative skills in order to choreograph a dance. I'm not complaining though this is something I love to do for God and it is very liberating for me.

Dancing for God makes me very happy.

Anyways I have to dance at the Mother's Day prayer breakfast and needless to say this is going to be hard because I want to pick a song that fit's the occasion to the "T". I always have trouble with that when I'm asked to dance, I never know what the right song is, it' has to be something that moves that heart of the people, it has to be inviting to the Holy Spirit. I think I have narrowed it down to about three songs. Two of the songs are by a dynamic singer and songwriter Kurt Carr, and the other song is by a true worshipper this young lady is awesome and her name is Kari Jobe. These songs have a lot of meaning to me and I'm sure they would have greater meaning to the mothers.I guess it's going to be for my mom and other moms so it' has to be good I want them to have a good memory of that day.I just pray that in the end I choose the right invite the Holy Spirit to come and dwell in the midst of the people, ultimately this is not about us or me but it is for the Glory of Him who called me and sent me and that is my heavenly Father.
Until next time.........................Catch the Mantle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally Home

So I'm finally back home in New York and I am so happy. I actually started crying when I land in New York a sense of belonging just over shadowed me i was so happy. I don't think I have ever wanted to be home so badly. But enough said about that. I finally got a chance to go to church today it was awesome I have not been in 5month and I have missed it a whole lot but the youth is crazy they are not doing well at all during service I literally cried because i felt such a heavy burden for them. I'm really aggravated though but I planned to get things done this summer it's awesome and I'm going to continue to praise God because I know he is going to do awesome things in the youth this summer and in the time to come and me as well.I really miss my people from down south already but I much rather be home right now but I'm going to make sure I keep in contact with them.I also need to make sure that i update my blog everyday to let all my readers know how the summer is going. So until next time stay bless.

Until Next Time.....................Catch The Mantle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taking a Deep Breath

( My baby brother keep him in your prayers)

So I'm just chillen right now I have finished all my finales for my sophomore year I can truly say that I am happy and I am ready to go back home to New York to start my work for the summer. This semester I can say has been one of the toughest and one of the most emotional semesters I have had but I just have to praise God because He got me through. God has placed so many people in my life that has helped me through this semester and I am so grateful. Now I go back home and I have to face other giants but they will come down because God has given me the power to conquer all things he has given me the power of faith that moves mountains and things that seem unmovable.

~Anyways~

So my brother had to go into emergency surgery to get his appendix out so please keep him in your prayers, pray that he has a quick recovery from this.

Untill Next time.................Catch the Mantle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
