“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2)
Change starts with you. It starts with the changing of your mind. You are what you think. What you think on a day to day basis is usually what you act upon. If you are always thinking about desires of the world then it is more than likely you will give in to the desires of the world.
People always think that you cannot change your mind, but this I know to be a lie. As a Christian makes their transition to walking with the Lord they must change the way they think. This is the key element to being saved and remaining saved. The enemy, our adversary is always going after our mind because he knows if he gets control of our mind then he has control over us. He is is going to try his hardest to push us towards evil and sin instead of good.
My dear friend that I love so much. I pray for you all of the time. I do not want to see you keep going down the same road. You can come out of the sinful lifestyle. I know you are tired of false happiness. The club, sex, drinking, smoking is not true happiness. That is temporary pleasure; a temporary moment. Its time for you to get an eternal mindset. We are temporary here on this earth and we must realize this. We are God's divine children so its time to stop being so caught up in this world. Its time for change my friend.. Its time!!
The joy that God can give you the world cannot. This is a known fact. No longer will you be waking up stress, waking up worrying, waking up thinking how are you going to make it through the day. You will wake up with praise on your lips and joy in your heart. Its time for you to kick the negativity out of your life. Its been wearing and tearing on you for way too long. Its time for you to be built back up and walk with the Lord!!
If you truly want to change then you will put forth the effort. One of the problems that you have is you do not fear the Lord. If you feared the Lord you would not be sinning out of control. I ask you this question.. If you were to die today, do you honestly think you would go to Heaven? By the way you live, by the way you talk and by your actions, do you honestly believe you should live in Heaven for eternity???
I am praying for you my friend!! Know just because you prayed a prayer and God into your life does not mean you are going to Heaven. <- This is a key step but it takes more than this. You have to live and walk up right before the Lord!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Listen to my prayer.. It'll bless you!!

Why Are You Not Living A Saved Lifestyle!!??
Take a second to yourself and ask yourself, "Why am I not living a life for God?" If you are truly living a life for God then ask yourself, "What can I do to win souls to God."
My friend it seems as though we have fallen short. We have taking a step back. We have allowed circumstances, test, trials, people, jobs, money, sex, drinking, smoking, partying to play a huge factor in our walk with God. We have put God aside and let things that are of the world take over our lives. How much longer will we continue to walk in sin when we know we belong to God? How much longer will we keep making excuses why we are not living a life for God? You know the excuse I am too young and I just want to have fun has run out! It is time to take up your cross and let your sinful ways go!
The number one distraction in our lives is *PLEASURE* Not even real pleasure but temporary pleasure. Do you not know that the pleasures of the world are temporary? Think about it.. When you go to smoke, you always go back for more. When you go to drink, you always go back for more. When you have sex, you always want some more. Why is this you may ask? These are temporary satisfying moments. They run out so you keep going back. They are tricks of the adversary. The devil tells you to do what you want, have as much fun as you can, sleep with whoever you want as many times as you want but where is this getting you in life.. No where!
Whenever sin takes place it bringeth forth death. This doesn’t have to be an actual death but it can be something bad. Lets look into this.. Say you have sex with someone and you two do not use a condom or say the condom breaks, then she gets pregnant. The day and age we live in now, what's become most common is the use of abortion(which is the killing of an unborn child). If sex had never taking place there would be no abortion. Who knows what you have possibly killed before it was born. We have become a slave unto sin and our sinful lifestyle is winning the battle over our spiritual lifestyle.
It is time to stop looking for a temporary fix. It is time to stop trying to take matters into your own hands. I tell you now from experience. If God is not in it then it is not going to work. For all of you that is unequally yoked, meaning one is saved and the other isn't, it is time to come up out of that relationship. It is not healthy and in the end it will lead to destruction. Even though its hard to let go of because deep feelings are involved it is the right thing to do. You have to trust God. He will not steer you wrong and He will find you another!
Our lives shouldn’t just consist of what can I do for pleasure and fun. Every weekend, looking for a club/party to roam, what to drink, who can I sleep with. This is not what our lives should be. There is a different lifestyle to live. You may say I am not ready, well I ask you this, when will you ever be ready? Do not wait for something bad to happen to turn your life to God. If you could get yourself ready for the change then you wouldn’t need God. Let God change you! He has ALL the power to give you the change and joy that you are looking for. You will not find the joy and happiness that God can give you in the streets.
Take time to seriously reflect on your life after reading this message and ask yourself, "What is holding me back from living a saved lifestyle?" See what needs/who needs to be let go of to walk on one accord with God. My friend it is time to go to higher grounds with God. God is waiting for you to knock so He can open the door. Will you come!?
2nd Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Next Chapter
Here I am again.. New path, another chapter approaching, almost time to flip the page. I thought I was use to this but this time it feels a little different. Feels like I flat lined.. I was on the incline. Climbing life’s ladder but with one bad decision, I don’t even matter.. Every time I think about the decision, it makes me “madder”.. Ey, it was meant to happen this way. Hmm, that’s what they tell you to believe. I feel like the decisions that we don’t make are sometimes the decisions that we should have made. It’s a confusing concept but if you think about it, makes perfect sense. Should of, would of, could of its all written in the book now. See, when you had the chance you didn’t, now that you want to you can’t. That’s life!
What to do now.. Looking in life’s mirror.. All I see is myself and my wealth.. Preparing for this next chapter, I have to go chase after! To be successful and chase a dream you must first wake up. You have to see the reality.. Can’t stay sleep and chase your dream. No time to be a sleeper. This is the moment that you have to appreciate the most; the day to day struggle, the sweat and tears, pushing pass your deepest fears. This is your time to figure out if you really love what you’re chasing after. This is what I keep telling myself but am I listening!?
Thinking I need to switch it up but the love will not let me go.. This is all I know so how can I just let it go!? In life there comes a time where you must embrace change. I always ponder on why life cannot go the way I want it to. I believe this is what we know to be a fantasy. Lord knows my life is far from that. Writing the lines on the last page but before I turn, there’s a question that sits on my heart. Should I fight or should I let it burn!?
The true reflection of my life is this.. Whenever I take matters into my own hands and stop letting God be the driver is when not so good outcomes occur. The moments when I sin and do not repent and keep repeating the sins that I know I shouldn’t be doing is when not so good outcomes occur. The moments when I keep holding on to the past and not living for the present is when not so good outcomes occur. God wants us to truly live for Him and make our decisions through Him.
When you are called and anointed by God you cannot live life like everyone else. Yes, a person living however they want to may look like they are having the time of their life, happy, but trust me they are missing something. If God is not the head of our lives then we will always be missing something. Once we accept Christ in our life, we must change and live a life for God. Yes, the Christian journey is a struggle and a fight. There will be many temptations that we must overcome but what we must understand is, fighting for Christ is the best fight one can fight. We have to live through God and for God; this is the only way our lives will flourish..

A Way of Thought
Im thinking about the saved lifestyle. Im thinking about the saved walk. Im thinking about a saved woman. Im thinking about what it takes to be what it is God is calling me to be. Saved.. the meaning that's become demoralize in a new world generation that's on a new high. High off pleasure. They say whatever is flesh pleasing, I'll take that. Hmmm on another note don't let me get started with what folks doing up in the church house. Now that's a different story. But I'm still thinking about what it is to live saved. See I was once there. In front of the church with my hands held high. Proud to show everyone I was redeemed. But as proud as I was, I was talked about. People saying, oh congrats, I am happy for you one day and then the next day asking me if I want to party, drink, smoke and then the next day after that telling me I am brain washed.
They didn't know I was addicted to pleasure. They wasn't there when I inhaled it to my brain, gargled the hot water to take away the pain, felt what I felt; the skin that's softer than cotton. They wasn't there! This addiction that once controlled me. Oh... my Savior that found me. How could I not tell about Your greatness!?
I'm still thinking about being saved. Am I a great representation!? They say they will know them by their fruits. Am I a tree planted by the riverside or am I a tree surrounded by dry land!? Who's listening!? I still want to be saved...
So ya see, we're all searching. Looking for that one. Looking for some fun. Playing with fire and hoping to not get burned. Trying to do as much as we can before His return. A loss hope is the case that is at hand and the ultimate judge has the final say. So, how can you tell a person they are wrong for what they believe? How can you tell a person they aren't living right if you don't know their story? Why do we push people away, cut them with our words and judge?
All I been looking for is a push of encouragement but instead the ones close to me don't care if I slip back into the old me. Heck I think that's what they want. Crazy isn't it!? I turned my lifestyle around just to see the people around me frown!? Naw that can't be right..
Im not sure which hurts worse. Feeling like the world is accepting me or Christians rejecting me. Holding on to the side of the fence. All I need is a hand but people afraid to reach out, afraid to speak up. Sometimes yo brother need those sharp words to be cut up! If you love me then speak to me with the ultimate care and let me know by your actions that you are here. I seen people come and go, from the front pew to the back pew and right out the door. Stop them before its too late. All they need is a helping hand.. im just trying to be saved man...

"Farewell Pikeville.. On to the Next Chapter in Life"
For 20 years of my life, I had never heard of Pikeville. In fact, the first time I heard of it, I said to myself, "What the heck is a Pike(S)ville? Where is that even at?" In the summer of 2008, I was faced with a roadblock. Not knowing where to go to play basketball and finish my education I got on knees and put it in God's hands. In a matter of time I started to hear from different coaches. One of the first coaches and schools I talk to was Happy at Georgetown. Haa Can you imagine me at Georgetown instead of Pikeville? That’s a joke right. Anyhow I got in contact with another guy, and he happen to be Kelly Wells. I can tell from the first conversation that this guy was different. It was something about our conversations that instilled hope that this could be a good fit for me. On top of that Coach Wells and asst coach at the time Coach Riley drove 7 long hours up to good ol Michigan to watch me play in a summer league game. The day they were there I played good in my game and afterwards I still didn’t know what I wanted to do. Since I didn’t know what to do, Coach Wells ended up staying an extra night. He said he wasn’t leaving until he got me. I prayed real hard that night to God and the next morning I woke up and knew what I wanted to do. We all sat down in my house with my Mom and I ended up signing the papers to play for Pikeville. The excitement was all over Coach Wells face. I believe he may have done a Michael Jordan fist pump. Haa I knew that I had made the right decision without even ever checking out the campus or city of Pikeville. (crazy right) :P
Coming down to Pikeville in 2008 it was a different change for me. Surrounded by mountains, having terrible cell phone service, 4 restaurants to eat at and no mall in town I was a little shell shock. I thought to myself, how am I going to survive here two years. As time went on and I begin to meet more people the more comfortable I became. One thing I noticed about the campus and city of Pikeville everyone was so generous and nice. That’s a big change coming from up north. After time, Pikeville became my home away from home.
One of the main reasons I came to Pikeville was to play basketball. In my junior season I went on to being 2nd team All American and 1st team all conference with many other accolades. That season for me was remarkable. Coming from a Division 1 and leaving there on a bad note, I had something to prove. I believe I proved everything bit of what I needed to and then some. Going into my senior year of ball I tore 3 ligaments in my ankle. This really prevented me from playing at the level that I was once at. Not being able to play how I wanted I went into a semi depression. Many people didn’t know because I stayed positive on the outside but all along on the inside I was hurting. Somehow through all of the pain I manage to get through and leave my all on the floor but most importantly basketball landed me a college degree, so you know that made Momma proud! : )
Right before graduation I was offered a job opportunity to work at the college to be an Admissions Counselor. Wanting to continue my basketball career overseas but still plagued by injuries I felt like this could be a good opportunity for me. A job fresh out of college is hard to find these days. I prayed about it for about a month straight, talked it over with friends and family and a month and a half after graduation I was back on the hill. Another great thing with working at the college, I was able to play semi-pro basketball for the East Kentucky Energy in town so not only did I have a great job, I was also playing the game I love. Being an Admissions Counselor taught me a great deal of lessons. It brought into my life new responsibilities, decision making, learning how to be more precise, and definitely a great deal of patience. God opened a door way with this job and I have met some great students and people in one year. I am forever thankful for my co workers and the relationship(s) we built. This job done a lot for me and I am forever grateful for the experience. :)
It saddens me that my time in Pikeville has come to an end. I am very connected to this place. I've had some great times here and some bad times. I came here at the age of 20 and now 23, I have matured a lot. I know God led me here for a reason. I pray as I leave this place that the way I lived showed a representation of Christ. I know I could have been a better witness for God but I did the best I could. I always wanted to be a positive factor for everyone and I tried. One thing about me is I will life coach you and give you advice no matter if I know you or not or what time of the day or night. Funny thing is when I first got here and people begin to know about me, I use to hear, "hey that’s the Christian boy." That makes me smile because I always want to live a life for Christ and show others that they can too!
I have many great memories here and I will forever cherish them. Pikeville, you have been good to me and I am thankful for all of the people that I have connected to during my time here. It has been a real good pleasure being here. I ask that everyone stay in contact. I'm only a click away, search engine away on facebook. Don’t be afraid to write on my wall or say hello. I will miss you all!!!!!!
p.s. I will no longer have the 606 # so if you text or call I will not get it. God bless you and I wish you all nothing but much success in life!
Love,

"You Forgot!!"
(This is a message from God)
Its time for you to wake up!! I want you to see what has happened since you started living your own way and taking matters into your own hands. The truth is the battle started when you stopped coming to Me for everything and started going to the people in your life. You put man/woman over Me; your God! Whenever you try to do things on your own it never works out. Can you not see that? It may start off looking good, looking hopeful but in the end if I am not at the head of it, it shall fall.
Everything in your life that is not built around Me and focused on me will fail. Think about every foundation, relationship that you've built in life that I was not in, it has either failed, had miserable moments, ups and downs or fall outs. When I call you my own, I mean it. You are my child sent down from Heaven and I do not make mistakes. Your life is in divine order so when you start to go your own direction, I always have to send a road block your way to get your attention again.
The reason why you are going through what you are going through right now is because I am trying to bring you back to Me. You know the pain you are feeling right now is the way I feel every time you sin against Me. Its nothing new to Me. I get My heart broken every day but you know what I heal and forgive. I know what to expect from people. They are going to mess up but what gets Me the most and hurts Me the most is when they know better and still do wrong.
Life is much easier than what you have been making be. If you stick to your first mindset and keep your eyes on Me then you'll be fine. But you know you always think life has to be about you so you start making your own decisions for yourself. One day you'll realize that its not always about you and your feelings. You will have to sacrifice and endure for someone else. One thing that you need to focus on more is making the right decisions.
The poor decisions that has been made, how about we just wipe them away and start over. You know the saying, "joy comes in the morning," well that morning doesn’t necessarily have to be a time. It's whenever you decide to wake up from your current situation you are in. So let this message be your wake up call! Its time for you to come back into the mighty presence of the Lord!!
How much longer are you going to keep trying to do things your own way? You see it never gets you any where. So, how about you stop right where you are, pray to me, cry out, ask for forgiveness, repent and truly mean it, give your life back to me and get right.
The time is now and I am depending on you to be a voice for me. Let others see how I can change your life and make you into a Godly person instead of the sinful person that they know you to be. You will be life changing and powerful by the new way you walk and talk. I have all the confidence in the world in you. Now lets go on to greatness!
I love you!
Love,
God
"If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." -2nd Chronicles 7:14

Everything in your life that is not built around Me and focused on me will fail. Think about every foundation, relationship that you've built in life that I was not in, it has either failed, had miserable moments, ups and downs or fall outs. When I call you my own, I mean it. You are my child sent down from Heaven and I do not make mistakes. Your life is in divine order so when you start to go your own direction, I always have to send a road block your way to get your attention again.
The reason why you are going through what you are going through right now is because I am trying to bring you back to Me. You know the pain you are feeling right now is the way I feel every time you sin against Me. Its nothing new to Me. I get My heart broken every day but you know what I heal and forgive. I know what to expect from people. They are going to mess up but what gets Me the most and hurts Me the most is when they know better and still do wrong.
Life is much easier than what you have been making be. If you stick to your first mindset and keep your eyes on Me then you'll be fine. But you know you always think life has to be about you so you start making your own decisions for yourself. One day you'll realize that its not always about you and your feelings. You will have to sacrifice and endure for someone else. One thing that you need to focus on more is making the right decisions.
The poor decisions that has been made, how about we just wipe them away and start over. You know the saying, "joy comes in the morning," well that morning doesn’t necessarily have to be a time. It's whenever you decide to wake up from your current situation you are in. So let this message be your wake up call! Its time for you to come back into the mighty presence of the Lord!!
How much longer are you going to keep trying to do things your own way? You see it never gets you any where. So, how about you stop right where you are, pray to me, cry out, ask for forgiveness, repent and truly mean it, give your life back to me and get right.
The time is now and I am depending on you to be a voice for me. Let others see how I can change your life and make you into a Godly person instead of the sinful person that they know you to be. You will be life changing and powerful by the new way you walk and talk. I have all the confidence in the world in you. Now lets go on to greatness!
I love you!
Love,
God
"If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." -2nd Chronicles 7:14
