"The One in the Mirror"

Watch who you hang with. You will look up and find yourself wallowing in their same mud and actions. Behaviors are contagious. Lesson Learned The hardest thing is recognizing your weakness, standing up, and protecting yourself.  I didn't want to let my old friends go when I dedicated my life to Christ. But I quickly realized I couldn't handle being around them and walk with Christ wholeheartedly.  "Don't be mislead:Bad company corrupts good character." 1 Corinthians 15:33  I found my self smoking, drinking, partying, and having meaningless sex with a man trying to claim it was love. The next morning I would feel so horrible because I was being tugged in two different directions at the same time. Light and darkenss can't dwell together and God was ready for me to choose. Even when I left my old friends behind and started hanging with my new "church friends" I found myself doing the exact same thing with my church friends  and I ended up...

Human Trafficking Awareness Month "A Survivor shares her story"

I had my first pimp at the age of 21. When people hear pimp they see a guy in a pimped out suite wearing gators and driving an old school Cadillac. LOL I have to laugh. Maybe in the old days but I’m talking about 21 st  century pimps. They rock true religion, Gucci, Louie, Prada, and the list goes on. They live in golf courses communities, beach front homes, middle class neighborhoods, and all. I’ve met pimps who own their own recording label, travel with goons and an entourage, and even had a training for the newbies. I’ve seen pimps be called boyfriends and husbands instead of pimp to please the woman. Then I get the question “how could you fall for a pimp?” Before I answer the question I need you to be willing to be open minded. Keep in mind this is my story my life my walk and the experience I had. I’m not sharing this to be justified or to be liked or felt sorry for. I’m justified through Christ and that’s all I need. I will try my best to be as transparent and honest ...

Please don't pull the trigger! I thank God I didn't pull the trigger! You never know what a person is going through. I know it hurts but don't do it. I know it seems hopeless but don't do it.  If you put all your hope in people a person or thing what will you do if they fail you? "It's going to take the man in me to conquer this insanity." Tupac Don't pull the trigger when what your looking for is staring at you in the mirror.  Greater is he that is in me than he that is in this world!!!!!!! I work in a call center environment and each month we get 5 calls graded for quality scoring. The last day of the month is normally the start day for the new month. I thought I had learned the system. I got all my calls in for December so on the 30th  I slacked in a major way. New calls don't start until the 31st right? Wrong!! I got graded on the 30th and received a whopping 60 on my call! I tried to be mad for a second then I just start...
