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

116 CLIQUE

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!

My Version of a good man:

Self Control, Integrity, Love,

Respect, Even Tempered, 

Protect, Provide,

Discipline, Leader, Listen,

Wise, Humble, Good Teacher,

Role Model as a son, husband, father, 
and as a person,
a real man,
acts like
one!

Everyday is a battle ground,

Everyday is a fight,

Everyday is decision time,

Everyday is a learning time,

Learn. Live. Learn.

LIVE IT UP!

My quote of the day

God sees beyond the tears, 

He hears beyond the desperation,

and He loves us beyond our own understanding.

"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
