Originally I wanted to write things in sequence so that i could keep things updated according to what i experience on a daily basis....
.....that just ain't gone work....
Yes I write how i speak to my friends, this is not a novel, and if it were, I'd still write it how i want to. This is not about sounding intelligent for you. My peoples know that I am very "proper", when i need to be....
It's after midnight here and I'm bout to knock out and hit the pillow like a TKO. Tomorrow i work from 9am-2pm and then finish this paper between then and 6:45 pm then i work from 7pm-6am....yep, that's what's about to happen...Pray for me, even tho you're going to read this after the fact.
I began a survey for women that is only one question. I'll be writing that up in the next couple weeks so look out for that over Thanksgiving break. I don't have much to say rt now..........WAIT! that's a lie, rather, I'm not going to say much right now...goodnight...i love you guys, even tho yall read my stuff and ain't subscribed yet....yea, i already kno.... keep doin what you spose to....to the rest, i love you too, truly!
shout out to club bed, club sleepy time, and club nap nap....see yall there

For You but For Us Too
OK,
So where did I leave off last...Oh Yes! Missions Conference right....
I think that the conference went well; I had seen and heard some eye opening things in regards to missions work and all the different type of organizations that are doing work around the world right here in the U.S. and over seas. Surprisingly, something that was brought to attention was the fact that there weren't very many people in comparison to the whole were interested in the missions particularly to Jews. That's sad and it's true. They are STILL the Chosen.
Other than that there are two Organizations that I've connected with
1. Christar- the main focus on the Philippines but very much abroad in the world
2. Christ Hope Int- the main focus to AIDS affected young peoples in Africa's Sahara
Pray for the relationship I'm building with both and that if God is leading me to be involved with them that i listen and go and not hesitate but do the work Ive been prepared to do in joining HIM.
What's next?............Oh,
so i thought i had a paper due on tomorrow. NOT! this dang thang is due on the first...i mean what the heck, howd i miss that, my whole life changed in a matter of minutes when the homie told me that last night....all bad tho; it just gave me more opportunity to procrastinate which i gladly took advantage of.........don't judge me, i know your laughing rt now but that's only cuz you know me...hahaaaaaaaaah.....ha....ha.....HA!
OK, now for the real reason i came to write this blog....(man i be puttin periods..........everywhere, guess you see how i think huh....just like i talk) don't hate...put that drank down and get some living water...
ok ok ok....So Ive been reading this book by Voddie Baucham Jr. called WHAT HE MUST BE...if he wants to Marry my Daughter...
I just finished this book last night. and it was....it was............BOMB! and it speaks of preparing young men and women for marriage....really for life...i recommend it. buy it, read it. think about it
I was listening to this song as i thought on these things....Rose...by Da Truth...at 4:30 the song is pretty much over less you like instrumental but yea......listen...........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4FdguhN2kc
Oh and Ive also been doing this survey round here for the young women. it started at school and progressed to something that i also believe if far under noticed by not only men but women. we talk about it at times and even long for it but it seems to me when i ask this question that he reaction i get from ladies are not only alarming but they either laugh, pause, or look confused. so i believe this must be addressed to open some thought.. but more on that later...we need to become Biblical Men and prepare for life, service and marriage...and ladies need to be Biblical Women and prepare for life, service and marriage...women be alert. men be cautious.....survey things coming in parts...this is part one. the introduction....hahahahahaahaahah
shout out to my boys representing J Phi J......haha JOSHUA'S MEN..... THE O.G. Squad lets honor that. Remember it. and continue to live in it....it's still a big part of my life. don't make me have to trip on yall.....haha love yah tho..you know what i mean tho fellas...yall stay sic.....sexy in Christ...

Not to be overlooked!
Last night was the first session of Missions Conference. Missions Conference is jsut like any other conference that might be for women, men, or club cars; whatever gives the imagery. The focus here is Missionary work. This is one of the excting highlights of the semester as we are visited by over Onr-Hundred agencies that come to share, encourage, exhort and respond to any questions or desires that we have toward serving God in this way.
Lately there has been a consistent focus towards us students from speakers that has been directed on our specific and intamitely private relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
The mention of danger that comes from complacency, consumerism christianity and activist christianity. to the point that we are finding our significance in either what God does for us or what we are doing for Him rather that what He cares about. Which is that we know Him, be with Him and love Him. to be with Him. the problem with us wanting everything that involves Him with the exception of HIM....wowwww.....Ive loved it because it truly has been confirmation for some of the heart cry that me and some peers of mine have shared...still it is convicting to hear....Because the Word of God applies to every believer and non-believer...
Remember that the extent of your Prayer Life very much reflects the relationship between you and God whether you think so or not...
Lastly, this may just be a personal issue of perspective and how i think within myself...But why do we clap after worshipping God and why do we clap after we've heard God speak...worship does not end when the music ends, And the Word is too important to not st and reflect on after God has spoken then to just clap and moe on....culturally we may be afraid of silence and praise of the lips...but this will need to be broken because worship is direct and so is the message....So lets let the world and each other know where this is directed. not that were not worshipping in spirit and truth, just that corporately it definatly isnt having that effect. and that says something......anyway, i look forward to the rest of the week and the sessions inbetween working...thank God for work-study...love yall. get at you later
shout out to my cousins Tiara and Frances...thanks for the advice and love...praying for yall
hey mom, hey dad!

Well Rested Oddness..haha
So yesterday i was pretty burnt out. After a long week of all these things I put my time into that I absolutely love, I thought "OK, lay down for about a half hour then go to the coffee shop and get busy again." (coffee shop* i know right...college/coff ee...so typical)......anyway
I fall out about 5:30pm and dont get up until 9pm...felt great even though i missed out on hearing one of my favorite professors talk...after looking past that I just went up there anyway and did some reading and so social work(facebook) haha. Took two picture so i could show off my haircut and ring that I've been wearing since we've begun that small group...
Fast forward>>>
I get back to the dorm and my floor has cleared out the lounge and are playing wallball...IM IN!
not even in there five minute and i get that lil blue ball thrown right at my face...POW! left side cheek...horrible i know but i shook that off. and we played for about thirty more minutes....and i hit the pillow around 12:30 am......sunrise came at 8:30am this morning. Thats like 11 hours of sleep in total.... i feel so good today that its odd. I never sleep like that...I dont even know what to do with myself right now
OK, I do... but thats not the point, the point is that I caught up on sleep and i feel wonderful and odd. Im going to put on some music and clean this room before my 12pm meeting with an upperclassman named Chello. Good man. then I have an intermural flag-football game at 3pm...
then its back to the dorm to get ready for the Formal Open House...this I like one of the two times the ladies are invited to come to/in the guys dorms... and one of the few times things in the guys dorms get cleaned up, set up and smelling fresh. it's quite funny to see how things so quickly change..ahahaha anyway.. the theme is Red Carpet or something so they want us to dress... i think ima do something very uncommon....i post some pictures on the facebook and see if people trip....i think itll be awsome.....but that's to be determined. so ill catch yall later.....
shout out to my boys Ryan, Chad, Chris.....im proud of yall, keep doing ya thing and taking care of yall families...im praying for yall, and all who read this should be too...which means they are!
Love and chicken
im gettin popeyes for dinner!
Peace out

So what's up D?...what can I say? busy is what!
So the most common expression of greeting coming from the few people that i've talked to from back home is "whats up?" of course, and "whats new, how are you?"
Everything is up....haha
Im keeping as busy as i can without pushing to a burn out; which has been an inevitable cycle of practice for those who have always known me...haha again
I've only got a short amout of time so i'll give the short version.
Outside of the 17 credit hours that im taking for class, i am currently working a part-time job at my school (public safety). im scheduled 18 hours but that always ends up being more. Thank God for a job. I'm part of two student groups. Embrace! the Black student group. No! you dont have to be black to join. more on that later. I'm also in Gospel choir.currently im the only black person there but what difference does that make. it's about the worship, obviously the culture of moody is multicultural. but still prdominately white; but what difference does that make rt, half my life was spent in the suburbs (thanks mom and dad) sarcasm) but for real tho) haha. next i'm also a "big brother". my little brothers name is "Man-Man" he's from the projects called Cabrini Green which is a few blocks away. talk about raw. the C is raw no joke. Cali is a different shot of rawness. but let me continue. i do ministry on the west side of the C in the hood. thats awsome. i make time to play intermural sports with my floor, spend time with my friends, and spend time with myself. so you can see that time is well spent and im still in the process of finding the balance....but what difference does that make rt... balance in a sense has been overrated since im young and single and have all this time and opportunity to take and use up to the brim..we'll worry bout other things as they arise because through these things yes, i seek wisdom and counsel and prepare for what is yet not.....
by the way im also in a small group, 5 peers led by the resident supervisor of our dorm. the study is called "Dangerous men" the supplier is an organization "lust free living" and this is what the group is all about. gotta pursue purity even though im at "Moody". otherwise id b in trouble. and some of yall know what im talkin. hopefully yall understand and are pursuing the same. male and female alike. thers's a study for both.....
we'll thats my time for now. i know i haven't written much or even as much as i had anticipated. but there's a reason for that also. ill share soon. Let's thank the Lord for truth tho......once again i gotta go. Love yall. shout out to my brothers and sisters... Brian, Deshawn, Unique, Stacy, and Nuria. love yall and praying for yall. pray for me...mom, dad thanks
