Yesterday I had a very humbling experience. We were in the park in Downtown Greenville by the water falls chillin. Taking a few selfie’s and just enjoying our day before the concert to see Tye Tribett. This man came up and began to conversate with us. I heard the Lord say tap in. I sat straight up and began to listen to him. He said that he was homeless and was going around to ask people if he could display his talents this is what he is doing to help him through his transition. He was very well mannered and wouldn’t proceed unless given permission. I gave him permission and he began to sing “Praise is what I do” This man wasn’t a great singer, but it was his heart that drew me in. He could have sung anything or been doing anything, but in spite of his condition and his circumstances he chose to praise God. I began to listen even closer as tears started to fall down my face. When he finished he said thank you for your time to listen to me. He started to walk away and I gave what the Lord spoke to give and my sister followed. Though it wasn’t very much I gave out of obidience. I felt the spirit of the Lord very strong and asked him if we could pray with him? At this point I wasn’t concerned about the public setting, but I recognized the moment and followed God’s direction. He was glad that we asked him and was more than willing. My sister and I grabbed his hands, I began to pray and speak over his life. When the prayer was over we gave him a hug. We continued our conversation and the Lord continued for us to minister to him. The thing that stuck with me is after he thanked us again he said, ” to be honest I had been watching you all from the bridge and I said there goes my help. I was very nervous and I almost didn’t come, but I said to myself again I believe there goes my help. He went on further to say that we need the Lord and need to be ministered to also.” Ministry is bigger than the inside of the 4 walls of your local church, outside of it is where true ministry begins.

Beyond The Grave
Love Never Felt So Good by Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake
I came across this song tonight and it reminded me of some of his classic songs like “I wanna rock with you and PYT petty young thing” With technology now it allows us to do so many different things that we never thought were possible. I thought to myself how he is dead and gone, but yet his legacy which was his music still lives on beyond the grave. No matter what he did in his life he will always be known for his great music because it speaks the loudest. Nothing ever stopped him from achieving his greatest goal which I think was to touch others with his music. He is by far and will ever be one of the greatest music geniuses of our time. I then thought about my life and what will it speak once I am gone? What will I leave as my legacy and will I still be remembered when my life here is through? No matter how many mistakes you make, how many times that you may fall because NONE of us are perfect, but above all what does your life represent? I don’t seek to be famous, I don’t care to own millions of dollars, I don’t even care to be known all over the world as nice as all of that sounds. None of that matters if I live that type of life style or live my life and haven’t touched anyone. What I want my life to show more than anything in this world is that I loved God and that in my life He was glorified and shinned bright. Sometimes we live for the moment and never think down the road about what I do today will affect my tomorrow. If we can’t see beyond today we will get stuck in our tomorrow.
