In Order To Advance

Image
Good evening and Marvelous Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we come to end of the teachings of Advancing in February based on Esther 10:1-3 I want to congratulate each and everyone who has not only come out of a situation but rose above it. On tomorrow I am going to become a full-time employee from a position that was seasonal. It was not easy as I had to do some things to get that position. I had to be on time each day during my seasonal position as being tardy even some of the times may have cost me the permanent position. It was a time sensitive job meaning that I had to be there every day and even do the mandatory overtime even though I had another job and was going to school. I especially had to make sure that I had the right attitude each and every day and not let those who may not like me just because get to me. I had to do all these things In Order To Advance. In Order To Advance there may be times for you to go

Government Intervention (Advancing Our Faith)

Image
Good morning and Happy Saturday. As we continue with these teachings of Advancing in February based on Esther 10:1-3 when I was growing up there was a real big crisis that shook America. There was an overthrow of power in 1979 and the Iranians began to stop sending oil to the United States. This decrease in oil played a big part in the economy of America. One of the things that happened was there was a shortage of gas that had people waiting in long lines to get gas and many gas stations running out of gas daily. For the people of America this was a big crisis as it affected the automakers, who a lot of people depended upon for jobs. There was chaos and confusion daily and the anger that was seen in lines across America was never seen before. Back then we took it for granted gas would always be there and when it was not we had to go to a higher place which meant Government Intervention. As a people of faith, in order to advance our beliefs there is going to have to be a Government In

Advancing Others is Our Mission( I Still Have Work to Do).

Good morning and Happy Thursday. As we continue in the month of Advancing in February based on Esther 10:1-3 and the Year of I Still Have Work To Do based on Exodus 7:1-3, Ezekiel 2:6-8 and Phillippians 3:12-14 I do not really know how happy it really is as I happen to stay in a city, Chicago,where there is killings every single day. With the weather being unseasonably warm, the mayhem continues to reach levels not seen before. The thing that gets to me, and I am looking at myself as well, is the numbness to the news of killings. It was tragic that an 12, 11 and 2 year old were killed last week. There was an uproar and it should have been. But the young men and women who continue to get killed at alarming rate has really got me. I am truly at a loss on what really to do but there has got to be something to be done. Our mission, or my mission is to make a difference and spread the Word of God and save the lost in the world. I am not doing a good job but want to change that. Advancing

Victory Is Mine (Advancing in the Midst of Haters Part II)

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited.As we continue in the month of Advancement in February based on Esther 10:1-3, I get ready to begin this teaching I want to pick up where I left off on the last teaching but want to take a less personal approach to this. I want to focus on those who have little to nothing when it comes to finances, food and dreams. I want to focus on the fathers who want to be part of their children's life but do not have the proper training to be a great parent. I want to focus on those who have gotten out of college and cannot find a job in their career field to save their lives. I want to focus on those who have given up on life itself. Most of these things have been said about you by others who have no other reason to say them except to keep you down and out. Today I am going to let you know whatever you are doing or wherever you are at in life prepare for the better for with God y

Advancing in the Midst of Haters

Good morning and Happy Saturday. As we continue in the month of Advancement in February based on Esther 10:1-3 I am a person who has an outgoing personality. It has helped me get this far in life. At times, most times in fact, my personality is so big that I often offend some people. It is not my intention and let me be the first to say that I am not a bragger or boaster or even think more of myself than I should. But I will admit I can make  many a persons day by the kind things that I do. In being this type of person it rubs some the wrong way and they attempt to pour salt, stab in my back or just lie about me to others. I thought I had moved away from that when I came to work in one of the fields that I am studying, Benefit Adviser. Boy was I way off base and at this point it does not matter and I am a child of God and no matter who or what tries to stop me, he is always makes sure I come out on top. God allows me to Advance in the Midst of Haters. My strong personality at tim

Advancing (With A Little Help From My Friends)

Good morning and Happy Sunday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past and the future is unlimited. As we continue in the month of Advancement in February based on Esther 10:1-3 during the time I was off of social media I had the misfortune of losing a job that meant a lot to me. I was respected by all in the company and had my name mentioned many times by executives in meetings. They called what I had the Fred Factor because of the way they thought all employees should be treated the way I treated them. Now being a security officer with that much pull rubbed some people the wrong way and I should have saw that but I did not and had to move on. There was one thing that got me through and that was the encouragement of friends and family. And now I am one of top salesman in my company after only supposing to be there for a minute. I am now Advancing (With A Little Help From My Friends). Sometimes in life advancing to one place to another is not easy. There are obsta

Advancement in February (Theme of the month)

Good morning and Happy Sunday. Brand new month. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we leave the month of Character in January based on Ruth 1:15-17 and John 6:64-66 we move into another portion of the year 2017. Most of my teachings in the first month were ways to make you feel good about the direction that you are going. The path and goals we set may be different for each of us. I want to lose some weight, become a better person and be mindful of others feelings, which at times can be hard. And as character plays a big part of this I cannot fall back into the things that are not of God. If I want to continue to be honest and have courage and show integrity I cannot just say I am going to be those things. I have to take them to another level. And the one way I can do that is by advancing what I learned. Not only that but also the kingdom of God. So for the theme of this month is Advancement in February. In looking to find out the meaning of the w
