I Now Remove Myself.


Good morning and Happy Friday. As we continue in the month of Now In May based on Genesis 45:5, Exodus 4:21 and Mark 10:30 I am reminded that this is the months that most people plan their weddings. In the weddings you have the groom, the bride, the ring bearer, the flower girl, the bridesmaids, the groomsmen, the maid of honor, the best man, the musician and the wedding coordinator, and the minister who marries the couple. But the most important people in the wedding is the bride and groom. They both have to be there and ready to make a lifetime commitment to each other and the children if they are any now or to come in the future. They have to be ready for the good to follow but they also have to be ready for the bad as well. They have to love each other unconditionally. They have remind each other at times that all the may have is each other. One of the main things I have seen in a successful marriage is that each person has removed their own self to become one. In order for me to used by God I have to remove myself.
In this blog I am going to focus it around the word remove. In going back to one of my tried and true things I go to dictionary.com to look up the meaning remove. The word remove mean as follows; to
to move away from a place or position; to take off or shed; and to transfer. Many times in this walk as Christian we we to move away from a place but it seems hard. We want to to take off or shed the old abut it seems to never leave. And at times we have to transfer to get to exactly where we need to be. In this blog I am going to focus on the second base scripture, Exodus 4:21 and tie it in with two earlier entries from the book of Exodus to see how now I can remove myself.

In looking at the first example of I Now Remove Myself I go to Exodus 3:3-6. In this passage Moses wanted to see how a bush did not burn away as it had been on fire. Moses has now heard from God.
He not only has to remove his shoes but he also is afraid to look at God so he removes himself and hides from the presence of God. Many of us wants to move away from a place or position but we must allow God to lead us and when he speaks listen. When I remove myself, I now hear him.


In the second example of I Now Remove Myself I go to Exodus 3:11-14. In the passage God has given Moses his assignment and there is hesitation on Moses part. He has not been in this situation before,
God has talked to him so he wants to make sure he has heard him. Many of us want to take of or shed some things but we have to remember that God is I AM THAT I AM and change the whole scenario> We remove ourselves, now he can use us.

In closing this blog I go to the base scripture Exodus 4:12. In this passage also go to verses 10-11 where Moses once again does not want to let go of self even as God gets ready transfer some things
for not only him but his people as well. We can say what we want but when God is actually talking for us the transfer is made possible instantly. When we remove ourselves, he now can speak for us.
In closing God would love to be able to use all of us so we can change the world and remove the shackles that are holding us down. He wants us to be successful in arts and entertainment, family, education, business, social media, religion and government. Remove your personal agenda and watch the moves, the shifts and the transfers God does for you, Enjoy your holiday weekend. Join me Tuesday for my menxt blog Now I See His Promises. To God I give all the glory and honor.

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na

Let The Rain Come Down

Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
