MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
Ever Since I remember my moms always had me in church- Sunday school or service I was there every week, this is my spiritual story so kick back listen and let me speak/ My moms and pops are deep when it comes to God the most spiritual individuals you'll ever run into, you need advice, a prayer, a kind word, helping hand encouragement they'd lend you/ every Sunday we'd be up in church- my 2 sisters, parents and I- I was too young to understand much but I heard numerous stories Jesus and God, the one who gave us life created the world the one you prayed to when times was hard/ my moms would always school me on events from the bible I wouldn't listen much my mind was idle, I tried to play it off back then going to church wasn't cool in school I'd never mention the subject in fear of losing points with the peers, I know it hurts to write that but this joint is real/ the older I got the more I learned about God and the son he sent us, beginner I gave my life up for God at age eight admitting he died for me washing away my sins thru forgiveness/ my parents was proud I was eager to learn more about being a Christian so when the preacher would speak I'd listen, witnessing the joy my parents had with God in there life I couldn't wait to see heaven for that I could only envision/
Time passed by teenage years hit me realizing me and the church was growing apart, I never told my friends about God embarrassed to say church was my home, at home my moms got on my nerves always referring to the Lord the more she talked about him the further my mind was gone/ no interest in it a teenager more concerned with hooping or which girl I was scooping, losing my faith values -getting in trouble daily everything I learned in church I was constantly abusing/ the truth is I let the devil in and he put me thru hell, thru jail and probation fights with the Fam I lost motivation to live-my freedom was taken trouble followed me like a shadow, I had to break my parents heart four or five times fighting always losing my battles/ I sat thru three years of heartache troubles all caused by myself had no one to blame nor nowhere to turn so I brought prayer back in my life, I was the lowest of lows crying each night looking for strength praying for escape with faith in the Lord I knew it would happen in time/ age seventeen I finally beat the devil at his game I slain him for the hurt and pain he inflicted, wishing I could forgive myself eight years later that part of my heart I still visit/
I'm no angel I wont always make the wisest decisions but I know when I sin I can pray for him to forgive them- at 24 I'm older a growing maturity seeing I cant maintain without the Lord guiding me, I try to be a leader by example you never know who you can influence so I do my best to be shinning big/ no longer hiding my feelings you know 24/7 I'm rolling with God getting crunk for Christ, I know he'll always look after me pulling me thru the bumps in life/ I'll say it to one say it to all GOD IS GREAT with him you cant lose worries is minimal- criminals, killers, rapist, dope fiends he loves the worst of us, he sent his only son to die for our sins his loves the cure for us/ I'm ashamed I denied him at my earlier age but since then I've witnessed his love and compassion, he's always hearing my prayers wiping my tears away its clear today in my heart he's here to stay so thankful for that I trust his actions/ at times I don't understand why events occur but I pray for guidance learning life as its given, admitting I'm nothing without him my life's right when he's in control God is love this is my relationship with God written thru personal experiences in the flesh I'm submitted/

WHAT IF YOU WERE IN HIS SHOES?
What would you do if you was taken into custody but you was the definition of innocent, when one was in need of a hand you was there lending it/ blending in with the crowd but you was comparable to none, taken in front of the court accused of multiple charges a deep breath there it begun/ verbally abusing you even spit in your face but still you don't budge, though you was on a higher calling you never judged/ you lived by your word loving your enemy just as your friend if you was disrespected the other cheek you'd turn your foes you would bless them again, congested to win in the process you'd give up your own life confessed to sin/ they beaten you brutally for hours -cursed by hundreds of the same people you used to take care of -now your the hunted but your not surprised this was your purpose the way its done in, summoned by your father to sacrifice yourself mad blood was shed- for years they heard you was coming/ no one wanted to sentence you conscience was guilty they had you for false claiming - the miracles you preformed shall I even start naming, the verdict of death is given -crowd cheering inside you hurting asking your father for strength thru all the beatings-assaults you never got weak thinking about it now my hearts tainted/
The hours passing its getting progressively worse the cursing violent acts tying you down beating you out your flesh bloods pouring your screams is louder evil and sins devoured by your love- the beatings keep going pain keeps growing they throwing a cross on your back the same one they just got done terrorizing, the brutality livens trying to keep fighting thru it already visualizing a massacre but you not even close to dying/ they put you on a cross nails in your hands and feet -your mother crying witnessing her son slipping away you asking the Lord to forgive them- they continue to beat you but you holding on never hand in defeat/ they crown you with thorns face torn apart mocking your name- inside you know you dying for them but most of them will be locked in a cage called hell eternally burning not concerned with consequences from actions -slowly you going knowing your time has come you praying asking the Lord to take you in- your souls been sacrificed to replace the sin/ Its over -your heart stops cries pour out -sky gets darker the temple cracks into was he really telling the truth they asking you/

GODS POWER IN MY LIFE
When I was younger i didn't think it was cool to Go to church, I was kinda embarrassed to say i went to church but as I Get older and realize what it means to have a relationship with God i realize how cool it is. I'm not embarrassed at all to talk about God. In fact I talk about him all the time. I'm so proud of the sacrifice Jesus made giving his life for my sins- for my wrong doings... its a beautiful, heroic thing that people don't think about often enough. What have you ever given up that meant that much to you??
You don't have to look or act a certain way to go to church and be a christian now days. I Feel bad looking back how i was ashamed to talk about or go to church when I was younger.But Ive matured so much that I realize that having a relationship with God is cool. Its a beautiful thing growing closer to God and building better relationship with him.Its the most important relationship you will ever have- more important then with your parents, or spouse..or friends or anything.. Too many people invest time into other things that don't matter as much as a relationship with God and then wonder why things don't work out in there life. when you start getting closer to God you really do see the difference in life. its not a coincidence that when you go to church you feel better about yourself. Things have gotten alot better for me since i started on working on my relationship with God and as long as I continue to work on growing closer to him then hes gonna continue to bless my life and bring favor in my life and the sky can be the limit. I'm excited about whats in store for my future

IM CURIOUS
Another late night got me up thinkin about my future- when am I gonna find my queen it seems the mistakes Ive made with women only pushin me into bein a deeper cat livin solo,no bro that's not what I want- I'm curious what real love feel like genuine no pettiness no drama- real love approved by God where he's leadin the relationship- this single pace wondering how long I'm gone go for/ content like this but curious how the other side of the fence is- how it feel to lay next to and fall asleep to the one you love and care for how it feel to make sweet love or hardcore when you want it beat- how it feel to know someone have your back supporting you beginning to end, I'm driven within myself to find out I'm correcting my flaws that's affected past situations- placing my faith In the Lord to hand me my queen- building a beautiful life together stayin down and loyal given 110 percent/ I've met numerous broads been thru them its hard to stimulate my mental- its why this cat roll solo what will it take I'm constantly asked, the wrath of only knowing bein by myself worryin about nothin but my feelings- how do I express them verbally- hurtin me minimal experience its killing me during crunch time this hurdle I cant seem to pass/ I've grasped what I need to do so the mistakes wont present again I live to learn- the beauty of life tomorrows a new day to change, simply explained- I'm slowly opening my heart- friendship growing into more my companion my shorty the one I confide into, climbing thru demons a past that haunted me tryin to get within range in search of my boo I'm gone be her mane/
I see the mistakes I made in the past feeling bad about it but knowing its all apart of the growth process -God bless I'm taken heed seeing the weak loud and clearly, I fear the best have past me but my faith telling me otherwise- that my queen still waiting ready for me to find her- snatch her up take hold of her heart connecting on a level never reached before- the perfect man for her I will be/ transition period I'm currently in- my minds bugging wonderin thoughts askin a thousand questions confessing I wanna land her- find her- have her in my arms close at night, our souls confide and shine together this beautiful love orchestrated by God thru faith and believing it could happen -the one I'm supposed to wife/ where is she at I wish I knew - until I find her I'm keep doin me bettering myself as a man- growing closer to God praying for him to send me my ole lady the one I'm gonna give my heart and all too, a hard dude to break but I'm working on that- a man in total construction- a masterpiece is coming- I know God getting her ready for me- my boo, my girl, my babe my better half thats what I'm gonna call you- when the time comes my heart is all you/

OVER MY HEART
I see the American Flag placing my hand over my chest where my heart beat resides, there's peace inside but an empty pain thinking to those who died for freedom even thru proudness these clouds are dark a feeling you just cant explain- closing my eyes I breath and write/ emotions are high I can never look at a plane normal again thinking to 9/11 the passengers lost on all 4 planes- wondering there thoughts, feelings I'm ill thinking about the crash the impact fire blazing I'm praying God give me the strength I'm seeing these images repetitively, its not easy to free the day I constantly close- I rose to salute the dead- those who gave there life rescuing others- the 343 NYFD never made it back home that day family all alone a zone you cant comprehend unless your in it- America's sending prayers and condolences but 9 years later its like they forgot or is it your afraid to revisit that moment - to me it seems like yesterday doesn't it I believe it to free/ myself when I write- too much in my brain I slain it but saying it with the pen- I will cry the stories touch my soul I stroll on as time passes on another calender completes looking at the others curious do they remember that day in September I'm wishing to ask them, the Man upstairs gives me strength to keep going keep growing but that day will always be close to my chest holding there death in my memory- within me I'm inspired by the brighter stories of heroism and bravery- those who saved others and chose courage over fear I swear this will be with me until the day My times done- I rhyme one with them in mind encouraging me to better myself make a name for my future inspired by there actions/ United 93 passengers, NYPD, NYFD, even everyday civilians who risked there life to help others damn its so touching to read, I'm humbled to speak on these stories never wanting there memory to flame out so I'll forever keep it alive its so touching to me/ I'm strong but certain times I break down- knowing its healthy to cry cant bottle it up forever so I let it loose another step to move closer to Gods calling for me these stories of heroism and bravery its just a start, with tears in my eyes proudness in my soul I salute the flag remembering September 11th my other hands over my heart the memory in my mind shall never depart/
MINI THOUGHTS
A Clouded mind results in sleepless nights sleepless nights results in late mornings waken up aggrivated yo I'm brain stormin, I pay for it- success- the light the path that will lead to my calling- finanically stable where I'm no longer livin check to check- thru frustrating phases I face forward knowin my faiths forming/ the devil feedin off unsure moments -I cant fall victim to the enemy endlessly I'm wonderin my purpose in life feelin like times just passin by I'm growin older but still I gotta young soul, showing growth the last 2 years I rearranged and changed my outlook on life- I know I'm blessed so thankful for everything Gods given but living like he wants me to be submitting more- what am I missing this empty feeling shinning brighter- enough wit the curiousity just come forward/I run for it not knowin what my destiny is -just knowin Gods got a plan- each day I wake up its a closer one to seein fullfillment come about, the sun is out shinning when my mind showing darkness it's 4am my brain's tired so let me park it- thankin God for the highs the lows everything thats built me into who Iam- continuing to grow yo my purpose I'll summon now/
HEAVEN
Some days I wonder what heavens like- is it beautiful? crowded? will GOD greet me when I enter or am I just another person passing thru to eternity, worry free no bills no financial issues no drama no stress damn it sounds enticing, a place where nothin matters but Gods loving hand- as a man I'm forgiven and rid of the sins I committed during my time on earth-currently/ feelin disappointed in myself like I let God down- heavens a place compared to none The Lords waitin for me to come- yet on earth I was rude, disrespectful broke every commandment- how could he manage to want me up there with him, uplifting the feeling of no jealousy greed or envy- a place I can kick back and enjoy being without worrying about others intentions- visions are blurry so I'm wondering what heaven really looks like is it a peaceful living/ driven by the thought of forever next to the ones I love- meeting heroes that inspired me called home before I got there- curious who would miss me on earth and would they know I'm watchin them from above, a trust not seen but spoken and felt- heaven would be my home a pure feeling of joy- endlessly wondering is it a dream or am I really at my eternal address somethin I hope to address at last- LOOK I'm still alive and healthy here on earth doin my thing my life's not complete yet so my homecoming still on the horizon- these are my thoughts today so I share them with love/
THAT MORNING AT WORK
Just another day I get to work around 8am settling in getting my coffee sayin whats up to my co- workers sitting at my desk checkin emails shifting thru some paper work when I hear a loud sound, what the fuck was that- I see smoke everywhere the building shaken glass breaking I'm not sure what happened but panic's elevating I start looking around for my co workers but they cant be found/ I'm buggin I'm seein co workers down dead there bodies burned arms, legs, body parts everywhere Jesus whats goin on this cant be real, I'm ill but a survivors mentality overcomes me I gotta get the hell outta here so I proceed to go down but I cant get to the door I'm trapped I'm panicking- can only turn to God Lord I need help right now I know you hear my prayers/ I search for another route to go the elevator broken hope is fading but I keep tryin keep focused I see a rear door with stairs its clear I run over seein more co workers who didn't make it I'm cryin there dying my goals surviving I head down it's long ways to go 73 stories but I'm determined to exit, I'm bleeding I'm in shock weeping but I'm seein others going down tryin to leave- we're all lost as to what happened when we hear another enormous crashing sound our buildings shaken- DAMN whats happened now- this is getting worse by the minute I'm thinking about my life- I'm not ready to see the heavens/
We making progress getting out the building but its tiring not moving fast enough still we got a ways to go- I'm thinkin about my family my life- have I lived right- done right by others? I hope I've made my parents proud, I'm hearing screams everyone in the building crying we just wanna get out- MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! we keep heading down- I'm hurting my body's aching but I cant stop now/ I hear a horrible rumbling- OH SHIT whats happening our building shaking a feeling I never felt before- HURRY HURRY we gotta get the fuck out of here ASAP, I pray that Gods watching over me I'm scared shaking praying I make it out alive- my minds goin nuts clueless whats goin on around me its hellish in here- a horrible horrible sight I've got to escape that/ finally I reach the lobby but it looks like a war zone where do I go oh my God Lord show me the route to get out- I'm crying losing it I'm tryin hold it together just wanting to leave, I'm looking for a way out finally climbing the stairs seeing an exit getting outside- oh my God whats happened I'm at a loss for words with what I'm seein/ just then I hear a loud rumbling I'm running my ass off not lookin back to seein whats going on- my life's at steak I've got to get outta here, I swear If I survive this I promise to be a better man this fear is rising still trying survive it- the fuckin buildings collapsing I'm gasping for air in total shock- rocks, debris everything flying out everywhere I cant even hide the tears/ I'm alive but seen so many deaths- co workers, people I've never met its body parts everywhere- shit its a scene you cant even imagine in a movie, to me this isn't real I'm not here this is all a dream just let these images leave- peace I need- I'm lost.. WHAT HAPPENED? its New York- Manhattan September 11Th 2001 truly/ the worst day of my life- wondering why I survived I'm alive while so many others aren't- the sights and images the sounds of that day will never leave my mind, I cry often asking why but thankful for life a 2nd chance to make a difference- Lord thank you for your watch care helping me to get out its so many thoughts surving that day that breeds inspiration for this poem I'm writing/
I WROTE THIS TO GIVE YOU INSIGHT INTO WHAT MANY PEOPLE IN THE WTC THOUGHT AND WITNESSED ON 9/11 THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHIN TO THINK ABOUT AS YOU LIVE YOUR DAILY LIFE..
NEVER FORGET!!

LET ME EXPLAIN THIS- MY LOVE
Everyone always asks me " why do you love the Braves so much? .. where do I begin? My dad took me to my first game when I was 7 years old in 1990. And I know no one will believe me but back then I didnt really like the Braves too much. But the more I started going to the games and watching them on tv they grew on me. This was about the time that the Braves were getting on a roll and winning.. I grew up as a kid going to Atlanta Fulton Country Stadium with my dad watchin the Braves play. I remember the night they won the world series in 1995. SWEET TIMES! My dad and I would go down to Florda and meet players and get autographs and he would take me to Braves luncheons and I would get to meet the players- over the years I have met just about every Braves player you can think of with a few exceptions..
When you go to as many games as I do you develop a bond with the team. A love for the team. Im 27 now I started going when I was 7. Thats 20 Years of my life. I have spent birthdays at Braves games. Ive had special moments with my dad there, special moments celebrating memorable moments in Braves history. Every game I go to is a memory. you multiple 10-20 games a year times 20 years and you have many many memories I have shared with the braves.I have kept every single ticket stub from every game since 1994. I remember my teenage years goin to games with my dad- over the years he doesnt go as much I do- I mostly go by myself now but each year my love for the Braves grows deeper. I want to win so bad. I love goin to the game. bein at the stadium, meeting the players, watching my team win and having a good time. its never fun when we lose. In 2004 I was at a game and then it just hit me " I love this/ Iam in love with this team." I told myself from here on out I will be the best possible braves fan I can be and 7 yeas later im still goin strong. I was a fan before then but from that moment it just went to another level.
Iam a die hard Braves fan. I have so much love for them. Iam in love with them. they do let me down and dissappointment but Im always there for them and the happiness they bring my life hasnt been matched with anything else I have come across. some people are passionate about music, art, history, movies, etc one of my 2 major passions is the Atlanta Braves.. I always feel like a little kid anytime Im around the players and get a chance to meet or take a picture with the,. I just wanna tell them how much I love them and how bad I want to win. In my heart of hearts I truly believe I want to win more then the players do. I look forward to every game I go to and I sit baxk and realize how lucky I am to have met the players I met, go to the games Ive gone to, witness the specials moments Ive witnessed and developed this special connection, this love I have for them I will always love them- thu the tough losses and dissappointments Iam always there every year. Atlanta is a weak sports town but Iam an elite fan- Iam forever thankful for the happiness the Braves give my life and for the memories of being a kid goin to the ballpak with my dad and 20 years later making memories by myself at the stadium- its priceless in my heart and for that reason I love the Atlanta Braves!!

The tower collapses taken me out with it- Lord why this have to happen why couldnt I find a way out to exit- as the floors crashin down on me my thoughts run rapid hopin my fam wont miss me too much I'll be in a better place restin, confessin my love for them as I see my life end but I know its all Gods plan so I trust in him given my blessings/ lookin down from heaven seein my family wishin I could whipe there tears away, I pray Lord heal there hearts moving on wont be easy but let them know I loved them and they were on my mind the final seconds of my life- I'll always watch over them as I lay/ down my life September 11th 2001 was Gods time callin me home/ my fam may never understand it but the Lords will was done, I smile in heaven proud of myself but feel a hurt in my heart lookin down below seein funerals my fam and friends cryin mournin me and 342 others but we hear you loud and proud when you say " all gave some some gave all" Im watchin this from heaven my buddy puts his arm around me and whispers " in the face of adversity to help others into the tower we run/ UP THE STAIRS.. INTO THE FIRE
REST IN PEACE TO THE 343 NEW YORK FIREMEN WHO GAVE THERE LIFE SAVING OTHERS ON 9/11. YOUR BRAVERY IS ETERNALLY REMEMBERED BY ME.

THANKFUL
I look at my life and see the blessings Gods given me- my health 27 years Ive lived- 2 loving parents given all they could give, to my 2 sisters and me my Dad work 2 jobs to provide my mom spent time caring for our needs so much love between us a beautiful thing is what it is/ I think about the things I want the posessions I dont own but then blessings come up quick seein all I do have- positive role models- parents who put there trust In God so loving, caring, stable they provided so often, lofting appreciation for them I see all The Lords given my life- struggles and temptation saw me fall to evil but Gods love and my parents patience pulled me out the bottom/ on my conscience tryin live a better way make my parents proud- good morals and values another blessing they've passed down, black clouds minimal opening my eyes feeling Gods love and blessings within me I smile- realizin what others dont have and how there hurtin I'm statin the facts now/Im given so much- at times I feel Im not doin enough to give back blessings to someone I wanna make others feel good, the more seeds of goodness you plant the more it comes back around giving blessings abundantly I should/ shower my thanks an appreication for God my family for all you've done or given to me, I take time out to dedicate this poem to yall letting you know its appreciated from my heart its written indeed/
MEASURING
How do you measure progression? I feel Im growin as a person maturing but feel unstable paid dues not nearly enough in some eyes pride put to the side Im not seein sucession rise, inspite of a healthier mind Im still not the person I wanna be- I think to myself if I died today how would I be remembered your thoughts/ opinions Ill take in stride/ Ive come a ways from the young dude I used to be truthfully I smile proud of who Iam now- but self gradification not payin the bills Im livin week to week expectin Gods favor and tryin to live right under enormous temptation, phases come and go thoughts on what to do- handle the job front or clear my mental internal peace I seek I speak with a head confused my views cloudin a sunny day Im waitin/ replayin convos Ive had in my past wonderin are the decisions Im maken right or am I settin up for failure-pressure pointin in overdrive Lord guide me- help me make weaknesses strengths and strengths to become even stronger, I pray it everyday so many requests I try listenin to his words too swords drew Im fightin evil these battles come strong I CANT lose I long to/ prevail and tell my story generations to come- you read my poems thats cool but actions speak louder Im proud of my faith its times like these I carry it most high I'll rise cant let times like these bury me, worry free peace of mind rewind time and again chasin success and self worth dodgin sin in between I keep my faith up high trust In you Lord I know you will always listen on them days that discourage me/
