Merry Christmas To ALL!!

Wow! Its that time of year when we celebrate the coming of my Savior. The day he entered into this world! He came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly. Although society would have you believe that Christmas time is just about gifts, family and food, that's the contrary. We should be taking this time to remember Christs coming and daily prepare for his return. Life is short but filled with an array of events. You only get one life on this side of Jordan where you will be able to choose whom you will serve.... Jesus Christ-Yeshua, Alpha & Omega-I AM, Lord of all...

I know we're all entitled to our own beliefs and when we take time to think truly about why we yet live.. We have to be honest with ourselves and realize that it goes beyond just us and our humaness. I just want to be able to say unto my God that I spoke of him to all I could in this life. So that when my judgment day comes He will say unto me well done thy good and faithful servant! Well Done...

Don't just take my word, search the Living word for yourself..Get to know God and Christ for yourself..See won't it make a difference in your life. The Bible says oh taste and see that the Lord is good and his mercies endure forever...

Well as for me and my house we will serve the Lord, Christ..Always!

Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.This is was the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand the universe was formed by God's command so that what is seen was not made out what is visible!!


Peace and Blessings

Brian Nichols Case in ATL~Capitol Punishment-The Death Penalty ...For or against?

I have always been against capitol punishment! Although I know there are some instances in the Bible where the word speaks of an eye for eye etc. But we live now in a different Era of laws. For those who are not familiar with the case of Brain Nichols of Atlanta I have inserted some information from Wikipedia Encyclopedia... I was truly touched by this case from the beginning, always feeling there was something peculiar about the whole thing.

My prayers have been answered and Brian is not facing the death penalty anymore at this time. He has to serve life in prison! he can still be tried in the federal court system though. I feel deeply for those who lost their family members in this tragic incident but I do believe Brian deserves a second chance..WWJD? Anyways I pray that this brother be released from all demonic spirits and that his soul be surrendered unto God. I pray that he seeks the face of God and gain salvation so that he may have eternal life.

I know it may seem a little strange coming from me... but I truly believe in unconditional love and I have had to endure some similiar encounters against my self and loved ones, but not until death. But detrimental enough to cause emotional scars for a lifetime and for those who caused the pain in my life and my loved ones lives I pray for them even still. I have forgiven them and moved on to what God has for me...

I believe It is truly impossible to live with such hate and malice towards one another. I know we are all human and of course we are allotted to our feelings of frustration and anger but there comes a time when we must walk in the way of the Lord. I know this is easier said than done but this is my take on it. May the Lord continue to bless all those who have been affected by this case. I pray that they may gain peace, understanding, and comfort in their time of need.As for Brian every day he still yet lives he has an opportunity to get his life right with God.......

Wikipedia Entry:
Brian Gene Nichols (born December 10, 1971) is known for his escape and killing spree in the Fulton county courthouse in Atlanta, Georgia on March 11, 2005. Nichols was on trial for rape when he escaped from custody and murdered the judge presiding over his trial, a court reporter, a Sheriff's Deputy and later a Federal agent. A huge manhunt was launched in metro Atlanta and Nichols was taken into custody 26 hours later. The prosecution charged him with committing 54 crimes during the escape and he was found guilty on all counts on November 7, 2008
What little is known about Nichols' early life is that he came from a middle class family.

He attended the Cardinal Gibbons School[1] in Baltimore, Maryland until 1989 but he did not receive a diploma. He attended college at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, for three semesters from 1989 to 1990. While attending the college he played linebacker on their football team. Nick Pergine, who played football with Nichols at Kutztown, said Nichols' massive physical presence and martial-arts skills earned him a reputation as someone to be careful around. Jake Williams, who coached Nichols at Kutztown, compared Nichols' physique (6'1" and 210 lbs) with that of NFL star John Mobley, who also played at the university.

Berks County records show that Nichols had been arrested at least three times during his short stay at the university. In 1990, he was charged with terroristic threats, simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment, stemming from an incident in a university dining hall, according to court documents. He pleaded guilty to the two lesser charges and the others were dropped.

The next year, Nichols was arrested twice in a month for criminal trespassing, misdemeanor criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. Those charges were later dropped. After his brief stay at Kutztown, Nichols went to Newberry College from 1992 to 1993, and played football there. Athletic spokesman Ryan Gross said that during that time Nichols was kicked off the football team for stealing from a dorm room.

After dropping out of school, Nichols moved to Georgia in 1995. He worked for Hewlett-Packard for eight years, as a UNIX systems engineer.[2] Nichols last employment was working as a computer engineer for a logistics subsidiary of Atlanta-based shipping giant UPS. Company spokesman Norm Black says Nichols joined the unit in March 2004 and left in September 2004, which was when he was arrested in the rape case.[3] According to his brother, Nichols earned a six-figure income and regularly attended church. He was arrested after being charged with the brutal assault of his former girlfriend of 8 years after their break up. After discovering that she was dating Chris Rowell, a minister from their church, Nichols forced his way into her home, bound her with duct tape at gun point and raped her. He was charged with rape, aggravated assault with intent to rape, aggravated sodomy, burglary, false imprisonment and possession of a firearm during commission of a crime. The first case had ended in a mistrial with a hung jury. Nichols had told people in the courthouse "I'm not going to go lying down" when he learned that he would be retried. Nichols’ friends warned the DA’s office he might try to escape and one friend told prosecutors that Nichols planned to escape and asked him to leave a credit card in the pocket of the suit jacket he would wear to court. Nichols mother also emailed the Fulton County Sheriff's Office to tell them she believed her son may try to take an officers weapon.

The retrial began the next week and the tension heightened even further 2 days before the crime spree when deputies escorting Nichols from the courthouse to his jail cell noticed something in his shoes. They found two sharp "shanks," common jailhouse weapons fashioned out of metal which possibly came from a door hinge. Nichols also taunted Assistant District Attorney Gayle Abramson and Assistant District Attorney Ash Joshi during the retrial by saying "you're doing a much better job this time" and he was apparently aware that his case was going poorly. The actions prompted Judge Barnes to have a meeting the day before the escape with counsel and he asked for extra security during Nichols scheduled testimony that Friday since the prosecution in the rape case had planned to call its last witness that day and jury deliberations were upon him. Nichols would have faced life in prison if convicted...end

Brian was sentenced to life in prison Friday December 12,2008
What is your take on this?

The Streets are Calling me!! Whats Calling you?

You ever felt like every where you went somebody knew your name...Well I had that going on for me alot back in my worldly days but now so much more than ever... Now that I am saved. Although now they are calling my name because of who my Heavenly Father is...They see God in me and are drawn to me by his presence.I am so grateful to God for his spirit that lives within me...for the word in Psalms 91:15 says He will call upon me and I will answer him, I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him...Isaiah 43:7,9 says everyone who is called by name, whom I created for my glory whom I formed and made..all the nations gather together and the people assemble...

God has called us and we have called upon him and still can at any given moment.. I have realized that when you become a servant of God you are called upon just as much to do the will of the Lord. It is his desire that no man should perish. It is our mission to reach as many lost souls as we can. Encouraging our brothers and sisters in this journey along the way.Not only on Sunday morning or during the holiday seasons but every day of our lives...

The streets are calling me and I can no longer ignore what my Savior has instore for me. I have professed to be a Great woman of God and now it is time for me to walk in my calling. I have no fear and I know that Most High is with me always. His rod and staff comforts me. Although I will walk through the valley and shadows of death I will FEAR NO EVIL!! I shall run this race with much faith endurance knowing that it is won by the one who endures to the end.I know where my heart lies...Whatever you cherish in your heart you will allow yourself to adhere to and become one with. I cherish My Heavenly father, My Creator, My Savior...

What Has God called you to that you have not answered to? Open up to him he will lead you in all things if only you would surrender yourself totally unto him...Mind, Body, and Soul!

Peace and Blessings

He who dwells in the shelter of The Most High



This is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it......On this morning at 10:20 am my favorite cousin Ashton J. Bridges past away... He was only 24 years young! He lived a great life...although it was filled with heartaches, pain and sorrow. He learned that the greatest LOVE of all is God and in Christ Jesus. My cousin loves the Lord and he demonstrated that much in his life struggles to live the best he could pleasing unto God... He touched the lives of many and he will never be forgotten.. I have learned to cherish every moment of the lives of your loved ones for you never know the day or the hour they will depart. Most High I will forever praise your name.. I honor you even still-You are worth of all my Praise!
AJB you will be truly missed...This Psalm is dedicated to you...
**************************************************************************
Psalms 91He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty I will say of the Lord he is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust .. Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you, You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked ... If you make The Most High your dwelling--Even the Lord, who is my refuge--then no harm will befall you, no disaster will near your tent For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone..

You will tread upon the lion and cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. "Because he loves me," says the lord "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him, with long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

Peace and Blessings
AJB I love you cuz!

Spiritual Minded: Da Daily Hip Hop Devotional


A sneek peek of AJ WOODSON's latest edition to the Spiritual Minded Movement
Support a brotha and show some love...
Much love to you AJ...
you are doing God's THANG!~

SPIRITUAL MINDED:da daily devotion for da hip-hop generation
leave ya feedback and let us know what you think!
Snippet of the Intro.....
Hip-Hop has been around for well over 30 years now. We have doctors, lawyers, teachers and preachers who are hip-hop heads. We have generations who grew up on nuthin but hip-hop. I am a hip-hop head, a grown-up hip-hop head, but a hip-hop head all the same. A professional hip-hop junkie and I am also a Christian, who has given his life to Christ and is thankful God gave his only Son, so my sins are forgiven and I may have eternal life. Like Deitrick Haddon, I so thankful God still hears a sinner’s prayer.


EVERYTHING I AM

Man, here we go again. everybody sayin' what's not for him
everything I'm not, made me everything I am…
people talk trash, but when it hits the fan
everything I'm not, made me everything I am
Everything I Am - Kanye West
You ever doubt yourself because of your shortcomings? This is a common thing. Are you constantly reliving the mistakes of your past and preventing yourself from success in the future?

Maybe you have a limited education, you have a jail record, your family is poor, and people have messed over you all your life? Now that the economy is slow and everything you used to do as a side hustle has dried up it hard to eat these days.Whatever has held you back in the past doesn’t have to limit where you go from this point on.
The good news is you can move past the scars of yesterday. God never consults your past to determine your future. So stop looking at where you have been and start looking at where you are going. Stop advertising your pain. Stop concentrating on your short comings. There isn’t a person walking God’s green Earth that doesn’t have some sort of limitations.
We all have handicaps so to speak one way or another. Some are financial, some are emotional or mental, and some are physical. But the bottom line is we all have short comings.

Trust His power and hold on. He will give you the strength to keep from falling - Isaiah 40:31.
Success is to be measured not so much by the positionthat one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.
Booker T. Washington- Up From Slavery (1901)
The smart person builds on their strengths and works with what they have instead of letting their weaker aspects prevent them from reaching their goals. A questionable background, a jail record, a limited education and being born on the wrong side of the tracks shouldn’t be an excuse from charting your own course.
Is your past preventing you from moving forward in your present and succeeding in your future? It’s important to remember the past is over and concentrate on your future.

Let God pull you up by His power (Ps. 54:1-4). Then, hold on to His hand. Cling to Him and “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might” -Ephesians. 6:10.
The best thing about the futureis that it comes only one day at a time. - Abraham Lincoln©2008

Embrace God's Love

I am going to start taking advantage of the usage of this site and all it's components..
So here we go!

Embrace God's Love

In life we so often times search for love in all the wrong places ... If we were to be truthful to ourselves and others we could admit that even through all our searching we still feel a void!
May be you haven't ventured into this search for what some call love. Maybe for you it is a conquest for fame, wealth, a decent socioeconomic status... Whatever the case maybe when you come to terms with it, though you may succeed, there is still that void lurking.

Well let me let you in on a little secret there is one who can fill the void like no other.. If you accept him he can take you to a place where your longing will be edfied with the fulfilling of his spirit. The best part of this is that it is an eternal gift..not just for the moment but for a lifetime.
I believe in a higher power than myself.. this power resides within me every day for I have recieved it.. He is the Alpha and Omega, I AM, The Lord of Lords, The TRUTH, The Light, he is God.. All by himself being an entity of three.

The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit... The Trinity. My Savior is The Christ-Yeshua
My rock .... For some you may have searched all your life for the perfect man or woman, career, business venture etc.. Look no further for here lies the answer to all you questions if only you would Embrace God's Love ... This is truly the beginning to an eternal life of Victory!

God's word is quite evident and quite refreshing love covers a multitude of things...
1Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is Patient, Love is kind. It does not envy it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, 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, it always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres...Love never fails.

God is Love and Love is God
Truly if you are to embrace God's love you shall recieve all that comes along with his love...
Allow yourself to be filled within in every way Embrace God's Love

Peace & Blessings
