Good morning everyone....I know it seems like I posted two day's back to back...well, I did! LOL
I figured it would get back to REAL TIME BLOGGING.
With that being said, I think I made a mistake, and I am going to need your prayers this morning. I accepted a video gig without really knowing the times of the shoot for this morning. I just figured, I could use the money. But when I found out that the times conflicted with my church attendance, it was yesterday. Too late to cancel. So this morning, I got up and I am feeling funny. I am hoping that this is not a DISTRACTION! (wow..that just reminded me of a poem I wrote)
I had to cancel on my man Russ coming with me to church. I wasn't even thinking about that when I accepted the job. SORRY RUSS! I dropped the ball. I feel like a fool right now. ANYWAY...being a man of my word....shoot, I can't even say that now because it conflicts with what I stated previously about going to church, DAG. Well, being that I put my self into a position which may or may not be a detrement to my goals, I have reasoned that I will ddo the shoot, then go to my church as soon as possible, to get as much as I can. Then make sure I purchase the DVD of today's service, and watch it TO-DAY! I will begin my prayers for everyone when I get in the car. Just so you know, I was doing it as a favor for a dear friend of mine, and if they read it, please don't feel guilty. I just wanted to help...just didn't add up the cost. Its my mistake. Oh, one more thing....Keeping it 100 means = 100% real.
I am really looking forward to learning my lesson for today! Lova Ya'll!
Here is that poem I was talking about......this is where I was last spring:
DISTRACTED
I am under attack!
I am wounded and weak,
But I WON”T GO BACK.
I cannot retreat.
I know that I’m supposed to pray right now,
But I can’t seem to speak!
My stomachs knotted up
And it gets hard to swallow.
Feels like every step I take,
There’s a “Black Cloud” that follows
I got pretty women to my right,
A mountain of bills straight ahead,
My boss is in my left ear
And I ain’t here a thing that she said!
I borrowed so much money
I’m too ashamed to add it up-
I feel like I’m stuck…
This burden’s heavy as a truck
PLUS-
You’re boy is outta shape.
I joined a gym, got a free personal trainer,
And can’t seem to get that straight.
My Inconsistency’s are hurting me,
I can’t seem to finish what I begin.
I distract myself with more & more stuff,
before I put the old stuff to and end.
My ignorance is embarrassing.
It’s not like I don’t know where to go to get the answer.
And just when I am feeling sorry for MYSELF,
I just found out a friend of mine has breast cancer!
I wanna use the power of prayer, lay hands, and save her life…
But, I need savin too,
Cause I ain’t been spending enough time with Christ.

God knows your heart Corey! Don't ever feel guilty for helping others.

Thalia
My sentiments exactly, Thalia. Stop beating up on yourself, Corey. Look at how much you've accomplished so far!!! God has brought you this far, you think he's going to give up on you??? He's not, nor are we!!! Right, family??? I think I can speak for everyone on the blog when I say we appreciate your honesty, but we're all human and we get a little sidetracked, but we have to pick each other up with words of encouragement, stay prayerful & keep it moving so we can keep it 100!!! God loves you & I do too!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day everybody!!!

I'm not sure why you feel the need to beat yourself up. Isn't it a video gig at a church? Shooting a Pastor's sermon? You still could have asked your buddy to attend church with you. Isn't it a paid gig? A chance to give your 10% to God. And a chance to allow God to bless you financially while you are doing the gift He has blessed you with. Hummmmmmm....... Focus.
ReplyDeleteWOW! WHERE WERE YOU SUNDAY! Shoot...you know you are absolutely right!
