What Will They Say About Me...

Good morning family!

This morning (and often many mornings), I woke up hearing Kirk Franklin's "The Appeal"....specifically at point 6:08. I know, it's these gloomy conversations that NOBODY likes talking about, but I often times try to think about when I die, what will people say about me? And its frustrating sometimes because I tend to live my life with that in my mind.  I'm always worrying if the things that I say or do will hurt others.  Its just my nature.

I find myself jealous because so many of my friends today are in that place where they say "Hate it or Love it, im doing ME!!"  ***NOTE**** Im not saying that anything is wrong with people who say that.  DO NOT GET IT TWISTED....lol. It's just the fact that I feel like I'm so far from where I see myself.  So its hard to DO ME when Im not 100% sure if I'm cool with who "Me" is today...lol.

If I were to die today, I hope people would look at me and say that I was a man who loved God, his family, and did good for the world.  I want to be remembered for making people laugh uncontrollably; the guy that helped as much as he could.  I want to be the guy you see God in...and it doesn't have to be signified by me wielding a bible openly so everyone can see. It would be apparent in the way I treat people.

As I think more, I'm grateful to music because it gives me an avenue to be these things that matter to me.  I'm grateful for this blog because it further allows me to open up and share my story with people.  It's my hope that through my music...through my blog....through my message, somebody is touched enough to believe they can do all things with Christ as their foundation.

Its actually kinda funny.  Today I asked God why He gives me these Words to share.  He simply replied (immediately) "because people listen to you".....wow.

I hope you hear my heart with this one...Much Love...
