Hello again peoples!!!!!
I titled this I REPENT because today, I was extremely lazy. I didn't do anything really...didn't do my reading this morning. Didin't update the blog early enough. Didn't do any work. I was just a bum! I REPENT. I realized another character flaw in myself today, and thats the spirit of COMPLACENCY. Once I think " I got it", I get complacent. It's been going on for years. I always push it down whenever it reers its ugly head in my life. And the funny thing is, it always shows up AFTER the fact. AFTER I was lazy, after I neglected to do something.
So in Jesus' name, I bind the spirit of complacency! I pray that I never get tired or lazy in my pursuit of GOD! Lord, I pray that you allow the Holy Ghost to give me a nudge everytime complacency begins to settle in my spirit! I pray that the more you reveal to me, the more I'll hunger for your Word and your Direction. I repent to you Lord, and I repent to the viewers of this blog. I declare that I complete the rest of my 28 day journey with ferver and an unquenchable thirst! I pray right now for quick results in the loves of the viewers of this blog. That ALL of their needs are met. That they have no debt. Their body's are healed. And that they are delivered from from any spirits that are in contradiction to your Word. I thank you that my prayers are heard and answered. It's in your Son's name I pray. AMEN!!!!!
TODAY'S MEDTATION
Today I can honestly say that I was meditation on the wrong thing! I was meditating on the thought, that I was reaching enough people with my blog. That my closest friends weren't with me on my journey. I found myself, pleading with people to PLEASE read the blog. Trying to tell them how important it is to me that they at least read it. I was certaint that once they read it, they would get stuck...and join or read it daily. I thought for sure I wouldn't have anything to write on the blog for today...no miracles, or great revelations....I was putting so much pressure on myself. But, I can honestly say that things have been working without me even knowing.
Upon writing this entry, I was reminded of how people have been telling me all day, that they have been to the blog. That they read it, was inspired or motivated by it. But I was looking for something so profound that I almost missed it. I almost didn't appreciate their visit. I did thank them for visiting, but I was waiting for this big explosion or earthquake...I ALMOST MISSED IT!
Thank GOD I didn't miss it though. Thank you to Dominique, Robin, Patricia, & Tara for letting me know that you visited. Thank you for the encouraging words of support. Thank you for letting me know that I touched you or motivated you and that you are behind what I am doing 100%. I really needed support today, and I almost overlooked all of the support that I had right in my face. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU GOD!!!
TODAY"S BUILD-BREAK-BUILD
(Say something good about yourself-then something you could have done better in-then finish with something good about yourself)
I made sure that I posted something to the blog -I was selfish today, and lazy-I acknowledged a problem, and fixed it immediately!
SONG OF THE DAY
"Your Mercy" by BLESSED is the song of the day because its message is so profound. Usually, the spirit leads me to the S.O.T.D. but, last night, I couldn't find one that I felt was right. Well, lo and behold, when I opened my email, I had this song sent to me. Talk about in the spirit!!!!!
Thank You KBrenai!!!!!
Perfect timing!

LOVE YALL!!!!!!

Imperfections? We all have them. Grace? Covers them all.
ReplyDeleteThis journey is not even about us... as much as we want it to be... as much as we want to see "ME"... Shall we never forget it's all about Jesus! (Corey - don't tell everyone I actually wrote that song!)
God has made us all "separate" from the world! We are a cut above... No pressure. Just God. We didn't do it He did. So how can we doubt God's work in us... just REPENT - remove self and listen for his voice!!! In the midst of that we call complacency, maybe God will speak to us while we are still.
Confession is Good for the Soul...
That's right, we are not perfect and we all fall short some way. The only person that is perfect if God. He forgives all our short comings no matter how big or how small. That just proves just how much I father loves us. He forgives us which comes out of his heart of love.
ReplyDeleteI fell behind with my readings this past weekend too, but with the help of God I was able to catch up over the last two day,it was hard but attainable.
Corey we are all in this journey together. You are not alone. As a family of believers we have to help you and we will continue to give you encourgement every step of the way. And when you fall off track we have to help to get you back on tract. So here and now I will vow to you and God to check and make sure you are on track with your daily Goals every morning... I will add that to my daily list of goals. We all have come to far with the grace of God to turn back now. So we will rebuke the enemy and keep him at bay. We are all close to a break through. And we as a family of believers will press on.
Have a bless day everyone and I ove you.

Corey,
ReplyDeleteI may not comment everyday, but please know that I visit the blog everyday because it makes my day! Remember when I commented (Day 1)about how God works on us through each other? Well, that is what your blog has done for me because everyday I read it, I pass on your message to others and it's a great feeling to share such positive,motivating, and spiritual messages and yes, I shared your link to your blog...I know you don't mind!!!! Thank you for sharing this experience & thank God for you!!! Love you!!!
Have a blessed day everybody!!!

Corey,
ReplyDeleteAlways know that I am with you on your journey. I apologize for making you feel that I wasn't with you. I read your experience every day, but will now interact more instead of being "behind the scenes" as always:)
That being said, "Good Morning Everyone"
As a result of your blog, I have created my own as a piggy back of yours. Everyday I write a letter to God to convey whatever is on my heart.
Just wanted to say that the titles of your daily blogs are very profound and are chosen for a reason. Have you noticed that when you look in your email box and you check the titles of each e-mail, they give meaning to what you are about to read. When there is "no Subject" in the title slot, even though you know the sender, you never know what's on the other side of that e-mail.
I pray that those daily "no subject" e-mails from God will continue to encourage you in your daily walk.
Have a blessed day.
Patricia
Hey! Cory I am going to say you what you always say to me... SLOW DOWN....
ReplyDeleteEven God needed a day of rest..after reading today's beautiful comments I think it proves that even though people are unseen and unheard they are still with you just like God :). I know that you have goals that you want to accomplish and you want to touch as many people as you can with this . God has put this on your heart to do and It Will Do what God has purposed it to do for you and It Will touch who God has purposed it to touch. You have all the support you need God... and of course you blog family.
God bless, my prayer are with everyone. Tamia
I’m hooked bru… J. It’s like watching American Idol. The first thing I did after I got to work and looked at my email today was check your blog. I caught up on Sunday as I mentioned I would. I was up until about 12:30. I really enjoyed and appreciated your journey and honesty. Try not to feel like you have to have to have something exciting to talk about every day. It’s not about that. I think you know now. This is an opportunity for your loved ones to be a part of your every day life. And its real, not bells and whistles every day. Keep it up! You’re doing great…
ReplyDeleteCorey,
ReplyDeleteWhere do I begin sir!! WOW!!! Words cannot begin to express how proud I am of you!! I will never forget how we met. That day of work at CAMA is vivid as right now. There you were this brotha who had a Gangsta Thug Swagga Persona who had everyone scared to approach you. Clearly, I was not one of those frightened people because the kid saw your heart. I am so blessed to have took the chance to foster a friendship with you. You have been and will always be my Big Bro. As I read your blog, it forces me to look at myself in the mirror. I have allowed the hussle and bussle of life to keep me distracted from obtaining my goals. I am on the path and going in the right direction but can take a higher risk in making my presence known. STOP HIDING BEHIND MY GIFTS THAT GOD SO RICHLY BLESSED ME WITH!!! I found myself blending in to fit in when as one mentor told me "you are a leader and I expect great things from you. get rid of mediocre people in your life." How true!! Their are so many distractions out there but I too support you on this journey because we are going the same way. We may not speak often because of our geographical distances but please believe that your always close at heart. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me!! You are the epitome of a BIG BROTHER, FRIEND, FATHER, HUSBAND AND BLACK MAN!! It is my humble honor to have you as a close friend. Keep letting that awesome, beautiful light of yours shine!! You truly are a breath of fresh air. I am still in awe of this blog. My apologies for taking so long to visit but it was well worth the wait!!
Love you man!!
Your brother,
Tyreese
