Happy Thanksgiving


As much as we love the thanksgiving feast, the day off, family time (and the drama that comes within it), the black friday's sale, etc. We must not forget to give thanks for God's blessings in our lives. Sometimes, we are taking advantage of the everyday's blessings in life. Little things, everyday stuff that we enjoy, is also a blessing. Count your blessing and you will be amazed :)

Be thankful for your breath today, your children, food, house, clothes, family, friends, job, car, new project, creativity, pet, health, ideas, beauty, strength, wisdom, internet, fresh air, beautiful flowers, blue sky, and the list goes on and on. Notice that a lot of great, beautiful things are free (for example : the moon, stars, sun, sky, nature)

Give thanks for yesterday's lessons, bad or good. Give thanks for today's moment, bad or good. Give thanks for a hope to a better tomorrow. God might work in a mysterious way, the ways that we often do not understand, but He is still a great good God.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
From our family to yours..xoxo,

MAN UP!

http://www.manup116.com/

MAN UP


Lecrae:
Momma want some Obama in me
The hood want PAC hip-hop wanna see the common in me
And since it's a senseless contradiction
I end up a misfit trying to fit in
This is when I stand up
And see the hands that are standard
Holy is The lamb huh(holy is the lamb)
Now we holding you to man up
Cause we were made in his image start looking at what you came from

KB:
Right after Adam every atom in our anatomy's Adamic adamant after what Adonai is against
Let me take you back to the tree in Eden
If you read it, you'll see that Eve was deceived
But Adam is the one who let her eat it
Instead of leading, No we ain't leading - we bump that
Basically li'l boys with muscles and a mustache
To femininity...we need a remedy
The God-Man: 100% masculinity

Trip Lee:
We the last.....
Where the men at, seems like they all lost
None of them are on the scene, seems like they died off
They extinct but my dream is to rise up
We chasing the prize of the King the divine boss
But we fell away, now we ungodly
We lose and we really got the blues like Na'vi
I want to celebrate the dudes that's beside me
Fellas let's elevate, we through with the lobby


Tedashii:
Go ahead say boy get your shine on
And if a sucker try to block you get your 9 homes
That's what I heard you gotta do to be a man now
Stand up for yourself so I took it in my hands now
And that's the problem man we busy trying to solve it
All the while we walking dead, man somebody bring the coffin
Voice drop peach fuzz now you think that your a man cause you feeling yourself
You need to man up!


Sho Baraka:
There's many things
Man is chasin' after
They got some questions
We got some answers

Sex and models and tipping bottles
Pack a pile of excuses right next to your bottle caps
A roll of decks filled with names that you aim to please
Next to the stack of money building up a heart of greed
Ice on his neck, givin' jokers the cold shoulder
You drunk off pride plus you loving the hangover
You gotta whole lotta stuff that won't amount to gain
Life will never make sense(cents) because you never made change

PRo:
We got it twisted, sick like a fever
Lil man live to stack dough, Keebler
Man up!
Get up out of that treehouse
Leave the cookies alone it's time to eat meat now
Trying to show you a new way to live now
No charge, you can call it a freestyle
Without Christ you wont know what a man is
You a boy in a man's body like Tom Hanks in Big

Andy Mineo:
Being a man got nothing to do with age
You can be a boy til the day you lay in your grave
None of us behave in the image of who we're made
Cause we fallen the ways it's better known as depraved
Running from responsibility really we crave
The easy way out of places that call us to pull our weight
Man they blowing through everyday decisions are made
Responding to the call God's giving em from the...



All:

Man Up!
Andy:
Let the process begin, separate the boys from the men
All:
Man Up!
Andy:
It don't matter how you started, partner, it's about how you end
All:
Man Up!
Andy:
Jesus is the model follow us we gon follow him
All:
Man Up!
Andy:
We the- we the last of a dying breed
It's time that we

All:
MAN UP!

Protect, Provide,
Discipline, Leader, Listen,
Wise, Humble, Good Teacher,
Role Model as a son, husband, father,

Everyday is a fight,
Everyday is decision time,

My quote of the day

God sees beyond the tears, 
He hears beyond the desperation,
and He loves us beyond our own understanding.

Song of the day


I love them! Check them out :)
Have a great weekend, beautiful people!!



"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres" 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Taste the beauty of love and fall in love with it, hide in it, clothe your heart with it, until there is nothing left but love within you.

Broken Dreams

Sometimes it takes a broken dream to have a hint of reality. So wake up dreamers, leave the broken pieces and live a new life. Start dreaming a new one, something that will benefits your future.


Dreams are made for us to have hope,
Dreams are made as a hiding place to escape reality,
Dreams are made for us to be anyone, anywhere and anything but ourselves at this present moment.

Some dreams are just dreams. 
Some dreams are ambition, goals and expectations.

In other word, dreams are something that we imagine, we want, we eager to have in our life because we do not have it yet
But, the sad part is that many of us have been dreaming for way too long and fell asleep. 
Then, one day we woke up and realized that it is all just a dream, nothing real. 
Some of us are doing something to make the dream comes true and some have succeeded, 
while others did their best only to witnessed their own dreams became 
nightmares.

This message is for those who did their best, struggled and failed. 
I am one of those people and I am here to say, "Wake up and let's move on!"
As much as we wanted to live that particular dream, 
sometimes it takes a broken dream to have a hint of reality. 
Some dreams are not too late, 
some are way too late and way overdue.

Today is the day when we said, enough!
Today is the day when we said, move on!

Please stop pity yourself and comparing yourself to others who might "live" your dream. 
Stop the hate, the jealousy and the nonsense. 
Life offers us so much more than just a broken dream. 
We HAD that dream, 
now let's dream some more that will benefits our future.

Good luck dreamers..awaken your soul!
xoxo,
Lindsay
