how do i live in this world?

I met someone and he posted me this question.."how can a man live in this modern age world? a world where values are invalueable and special just dun come to much worth.. LOVE! is just sex..."
how do i live in a world where everything is falling apart and no one realizes it..

The battle cry has been sounded.. Isaiah 6:8 "...whom shall i send? and who will go for us?"
it is scary to go into battle and get out of ur comfort zone and just stand up for something. believe me i know.. but when u've heard and felt God's heart, there is an urgency.. a desperation.. to be frontline warriors. Sure we're not in army suites and Guns and tanks and bazookas.. but our battle is far greater.. how do i end this?

so many questions. how do i live my life? like this.. with my fists up ready for battle.. always training.. being the best.. never give up, never surrender.. Spartan Rule.. go hard or go home.. my life a sacrifice made new.. God for me!
the Warrior God who marches out for battle!

in him

"i believe in the father, son and holy spirit. maker of heaven and earth. all that is seen and unseen..." in these times of difficulty, when u got my back against the wall and all u can do is hope for God to intercept the punch, from bills, economic crisis, gas prices goin up and hours being cut.. and everything around u crumbles and ur left there, just waitin for that punch.. God, reminded me he is LOrd of all.. the battle is not mine, but sometimes its just all u know how to do.. to fight back.. so how do i let go? deal with it as it comes.. when it swings at you, move your feet.. shuffle to tha side.. and knock em dead! if that dun work.. i guess the only thing would be to fall on ur knees andd cry in surrender... God reigns!

i got to play soccer with the amigos.. i scored a hat trick and it felt good! goal scoring machine! the only thing is they dun understand me and i dun, them. but i realize we all speak the same language when it comes to soccer.. just gotta use ur fingers and go "ova 'ere!" and "shoot!"

i started playing drums for the sunday school kids.. they're awesome.. and also the hispanic ministry..dun undertand a word but we glorify the same God!

at the end of the day tho, one question still remains, is there more to it than what i see? and one memory.. the foot of the cross...

reggie water.

"reggie water". so there's this chinese girl that tagged along with us and she's this really typical chinese.. with that really strong chinese accent. So, you know how we're in america and there's this guy.. he goes by the name Jamar.. and he's from the south.. from ATL.. (atlanta)... and the chinese girl was making some stir fry vegetables, came jamar and he asked her wat was in the mix.. so she explained.. "there's some "reggie" and onion..." and jamar was like "who's reggie?!" boy.. the look of confusion on his face was classic! the chinese girl tried so hard to correct herself she kept saying "reggie" and i was laughing my head off listenin to the both of then..
and then one day i was making ribbon salads with vegetables and jamar came over took a piece of ribbon carrot and placed it gently on his water filled wine glass.. and there he stood happily and proud.. claimin' "reggie water!"
boy.. classic! reggie water....

love....

Love... its 10 at night here and the train just passed by and another train will probably pass by again soon.. i love it when i have to stop for it at the intersection, when it blows its horns.. all i could think of was the word "majestic" made me say glorious and a smile on my face. This is my new perk moment thingy..
it used to be riding aimlessly and the sunsets.. or playing soccer all by myself on the that green german grass.. well, now i have a tenis court. its not the same but i love it..

i love watching "jon and kate plus eight". how they go about their lives with a set of twins and a set of sextuplets.. see them running around and just being kids..i hate to see them grow up. wish they'd just stay that way. i love watchin them.

after putting out a whole buffet all by myself in brock's restaurant for lunch nothing beats a cold chocolate milk. nothing! i love chocolate milk..

to be honest.. life here is tough.. especially paying the bills and OOOooooOOWEEEE! the tax.. man!! they got me paying federal tax, alabama tax and income tax.. and the aipt fees! that one, i dun love.. i guess this is reality.. only the strong survives... just like the 300 spartans.. never give up, never surrender!

Till then God is Good and God is love...

3rd week

i finally managed to kick some soccer ball over here in the states. with the english premier league season just starting the passion of football/soccer is growing and im gonna miss most of the matches.. manchester united! they will win some sort of silverware this season. but anywawys.. i met some football guys.. ie guys who play football. there's this spanish dude... and we're gonna go over to the university of alabama to kick some balls.. looking forward to that. Wouldn't it be cool if i made it to the MLS? but seriously.. MLS is dead boring!! its no wonder they dun watch soccer here.. anyways.. football is good. always good. oh and also smoked baby back ribs.. the meat falls off the bone when u pick it up.. its total madness. will take some pics when i get a camera.

Praise God.. anyways.. errthing is errthing.. (everything is everything) i met this dude and he looks just like dave chapelle.. he's from atlanta west georgia.. and ive been cooking with him.. and sometimes its hard to understand him cos his slang is so loose.. so i kinda picked it up and hence errthing in between.. and in between? its the journey im on.. ima make the best of it.. cos its the journey that matters and sometimes not the destination.. take every opportunity.. live as if its ur last.. history makers, change the world. God is God.
