img_8205While in Washington D.C. on a business trip, I saw this  and it was just something that moved me. As I was siting in the park waiting for my hotel shuttle, I overheard a little boy wanting to play catch with his dad. I hear the dad agree and soon afterwards I hear the sound of a football traveling in the air. I look up and my jaw dropped when I saw the”dad” who was throwing the ball. It was an old man around his late 50’s and he was wearing suit. Now mind you, this wasn’t a cheap suit you can get for for $100.00. This was a high quality suit. It warmed my heart to see a dad take time out of his busy schedule to put a smile on his sons face. I guarantee that it will be dry-cleaned by the end of the week.  What an example of taking time for the important things in life.

My faith and my personal struggle. 

From starting my day with watching miracles from heaven to ending it with linsanity, I now know I need completely faith and submission to the lord.
I have been struggling the past month with what God wants me to do. I prayed for an opportunity and I received it. Now the opportunity just feels more like a burden than a blessing. At times, I ask “why would the lord bless me with something like this?” Or “this can’t be that bad because it’s from God.”  I was down and though it’s hard for me to admit, I was resentful. Faith in good times and faith in bad times…that’s what I am telling myself to get me thru this.
Prayers would be appreciated.

Christian Hip Hop

I love Hip-Hop.  Let me rephrase that…I LOVE MUSIC.  Born in New York, raised on Guam, and living at one time or another in every region of our country, my taste in music is as wide as the Grand Canyon.

As a Christian who loves music (especially Hip Hop) it’s increasingly getting hard to find music that uplifts me spiritually.  Sure, you have music like those found on K-LOVE but sometimes you just want to get hyped up and enjoy the bass banging from the speakers in your car.  Today, I found such a rapper that not only connected me with me college years but has now connected with me on a Christian level.

I first came across MC JIN when he would do those freestyle battles on BET back in the day.  He would then play a role in one of my favorite move franchises, The Fast and the Furious.  He played Jimmy in 2 Fast 2 Furious.  Today, MC Jin is a professed Christian.  He still sounds the same as if he was still doing battles on BET but the message has changed.  I thank God for being able to listen to something like this in my car!

Here is a sample on MC JIN with he was on a morning talk show.


Love the line – You go to church, read the bible, that’s great I applaud you, but it’s all a question of How’s your relationship with the father!

You can follow MC Jin on Twitter as well by following @iammcjin.

Comment with any all Christian artist you listen to right now!  God Bless All Of US!

Love the blessings, hate the lessons

One of the things I really have to learn is accepting that if I want something, I have to be willing to wait for it and also be willing to go thru some rocky moments for it. It’s the “can’t have your cake and eat it too” train of thought. Came across this on the KLOVE Facebook wall. A beautiful verse from proverbs that talks about having to be willing to be disciplined in order to obtain something (like knowledge). Have a good Monday everyone! God Bless!
