The Panic After the Storm

The storm has hit. We’re running, looking for shelter at the same time gathering supplies and preparing for the worst. Loving our neighbors, except mine, they’re weird, and America, Land of the Free, and don’t forget Mexico. Someone took a knee during the national anthem as a protest, and people are furious. The president denied visitations to the White House because of rebelling citizens and now there’s division in our own country. Segregation continues, this new revolution is taking a stand. Who’s to blame? The president? Canada? Juan? Who knows? That doesn’t hide the fact that we are still in a crisis! There was a tragic earthquake in Mexico and people are now getting worried. The world was supposed to end yesterday. It didn’t. People are still living for the weekend. They’re doing it wrong. We have to thank God every day, not just on Fridays. The quest continues, the Stang Gang is still going strong. Hope that you fall in love and it hurts so bad, the only way you can know, you give it all you have.  Recieved another text with lies, something tells me that I'll probably get a few more later. The Prophesy is being fulfilled. People are given one chance at life, one moment, to seize everything they ever wanted: they’re given the remedy, but still reach for the poison; they want to build a kingdom, but still seek attention from the village; they want an A but put in C effort; they talk a big game, but their words don’t match their actions. Don’t believe their lies; they pray for tortillas, then God gives them flour, baking powder, lard, salt, water, and a comal, then they get frustrated and leave the kitchen. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so don’t get distracted by people who have other hidden agendas. Their motive to team up with you may be for selfish reasons. See the signs: their actions will speak and look at the fruit they’re producing. Sometimes life doesn’t give you second chances, just a bunch of lemons, and what could have been moments, we’re screwed. We are in a crisis. Time is precious. People are selling fake products, and fake love, straight up, to your face, so don’t buy any of it. Buy natural fat burners, take your vitamins, have a meal plan, and stick with it. Results will come if you are committed. Commitment is the key, but it’s another issue. We still fear failure. We fear rejection. We fear clowns. WTFreak? Our greatest fear should be that we are powerful beyond measure. We are all meant to be special, talented, and sassy, for lack of better word. What would you do if you knew, you could not fail? I know what I would do. I’ll be pursuing it in a couple of months. Shh! I’m not allowed to say anything yet. Back to this crisis. How are we going to get the income to rebuild everything? Will there actually be a gas shortage or just a bunch of long lines again? When is the next solar eclipse so I can buy special glasses this time? Will the president get impeached soon? Will my Lakers make the Playoffs? Where's my Spanish 2 textbooks? Will I finally get a text back? Some things just remain unknown. We are in a crisis! ¡Estamos en una crisis cabrones!

Holy Spirit Power

I get stunned. I get stuck. Like I freeze. I'm not capable of carrying out the task at hand. On the volleyball court at the park Friday nights, basketball court at the YMCA or elsewhere, or any race course at the start line. Then I get this spark, like this Holy Spirit power takes over in the midst and I perform. In the classroom, on the field, etc. People are astonished, and that's what I feed off of. I live for those moments. Trying to impress the people we don't like, as if it matters. Trying to be a perfectionist and be the best as if that validates you as a person. I don't have to be the best. I just have to be me and people will love me for who I am, not for what I can or can't do. However, I still have moments where I feel incompetent, not good enough. Then, I meet kids like Kari, and Ryleigh and Peyton, and Erik and Andrew, and Andres and Miranda, and Luke and Maeson and they think I'm amazing. They think I'm to die for. And I want to do anything and everything in my power to provide for them. To give them a piece of myself that they can benefit from. No credit needed, if we win a championship I don’t want credit it was all them, I just want to discretely plant a seed that will allow them to grow and blossom as individuals. In fact, the Holy Spirit gets the credit. My strength comes from above. They may never know who believed in them and gave them that key that was once given to me. A better me, creates a better you. If I get this spark, you get this spark. If my seed grows, your seed grows. If I'm happy, you're happy. We have to take the necessary steps to become a better version of ourselves. The people in our influence circle benefits. Everyone wins! Love wins!!!

Ordinary people become extraordinary without even planning on it. Be ordinary, keep it real, one hunnid, be simple not complicated. It's not a math equation it's more of simply just being. Be noble, be true, say the truth, take your vitamins, and say your prayers! It's not complicated, it's easy as breathing, with a fire in our soul. Simplicity is a beautiful thing. Just simply be simple.

Less drama, more love and growing. A better me is blossoming and the people I'm surrounded with are also blossoming. It's like magic, as a kid, I believed in magic, but now I know it's Holy Spirit Power. I get this feeling inside my bones...I got sunshine in my pocket. Nope, it's a rosary, holding Mother Mary's hand. Queen of Peace...Gentle woman, peaceful dove, teach us wisdom, teach us love. People of good will, the righteous ones, have figured this out. In the end, peace makes one fine pillow. First comes doubt then comes peace! Oh sweet peace, how natural it feels to not be a nervous wreck and simply just be vocal, and not be timid but simply just keep my head high, and fix the tie on my shirt.

Oh sweet peace, I need you so, to carry this task at hand. OH MY LORD, YOU RESTORE MY SOUL AND YOU GIVE ME REST. And tomorrow I will do it all over again:
1. I get stunned, I get stuck, Like I freeze...😭
2. Mamba Mode...💪
3. Peace! ✌️

Holy Spirit Power! Powered by LOVE. Faith, hope and love, but the greatest of them all is love.
