Never allow anyone to elevate you to a post that is not confirming something God has already spoken to you.
Ordained elevation includes preparation and provisions.
Situational elevation lays a foundation for folly and the fall.
The promise only works if the timing is right and reinforcements are in position.
There is a reason the caterpillar transitions into a cocoon before becoming a butterfly.
There is a reason little seedlings are planted after the last winter frost.
There is a reason you do not move into a home until it is complete.
In the past, I have contemplated the theoretical concept of playing dead without being dead.
Like most things, the understanding and application resonate with one’s perspective of death.
For some immobility is a form of death.
For others decimation of growth is death.
Medically speaking the loss of neurological function is death.
Ironically, this is not about death at all, but the symbolism of death’s characteristics.
I have observed, at different stages humans invoking death’s characteristics as a form of survival.
In school, we remain silent even when we know the answer out of unsupported fear of being wrong,
In relationships, we fabricate or eviscerate our feelings out of fear of losing the relationship.
In our jobs, we ride the assembly line even though we have already been assembled.
We fear the risk that does not pay off.
We fear the truth that does not reveal.
We fear the hope that does not produce.
And so, the caterpillar never becomes the butterfly
The seedling never becomes a rose.
And, the house never becomes a home.
Yet, change the perspective and the theoretical becomes the reality.
I know a king who was born a servant.
I know a servant who became a king.
I know a king who died a criminal but became an advocate.
His camouflage was a necessity to his survival.
The ruse surrounding his birth was predicated on hidden truths remaining hidden until their appointed unveiling.
It makes you wonder if he always knew who he would become.
You might even speculate if it came to him in the midnight hour.
Perhaps the helper showed him the way.
In any case, once he knew, he began to walk as he had caught the clue.
Until his payment was due.
The ideology bears witness to the theoretical supposition of the original thought.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
And just because you know, doesn’t mean you divulge.
Sometimes the greater victory is not in the now but in the latter.
Bridle the tongue so the mouth may speak.
If the caterpillar refused to hibernate, it would never become the butterfly.
If the seedlings were never nurtured, they would never become roses.
If the tree was never cut, the house would never become a home.
You cannot reach the finish line if you never run the race.
Yes.
If you call me, I will answer.
If you send me, I will go.
If you command me, I will obey.
Yes.
When called, you answered.
When sent, you went.
When commanded, you obeyed.
Yes.
If you direct, I will follow.
If you speak, I will listen.
If you teach, I will learn.
Yes.
When directed, you followed.
When spoken to, you listened
When taught, you learned.
Yes.
When questioned, you answered.
When charged, you accepted.
Now, this I bestow to thee…
Go and want for nothing.
Live happy and free.
Discover the best part of being me.
For you have a strong family tree.
Unlimited and omnipotent provisions I hereby award thee.
For this I now decree.
When people call you lucky, but they don’t know or can’t even understand your story….
I’m blessed and I always know who blesses me.
The tears have been replaced with smiles and laughter, but the vision you see today remembers every cloud along the way.
So if your definition of blessed equals my definition of protected and sealed, then yes, call me lucky.
If that’s truly what you see.
I can teach you how to remember a response or I can teach you how to formulate your own response.
What remains is the greater service.
The lesson that keeps on teaching.
I love me some me.
I am not being vain.
I am acknowledging a truth, I di-d not know.
A truth I could not see.
But a truth nonetheless.
I simply loooo’-ve me some me.
When I discovered who I could be.
I act-u-ally fell more in love with me.
A vessel, you say?
A jar you proclaim!
A promise you whisper.
A proclamation you delivered.
To give of this, the val-u-e o of the exchange must be equ-i-tably measured.
Because I ab-so-lute-ly pos-itive-ly love me some me.
And it is my hope, you love you, some you.
Otherwise, you have missed the clue.
And, I bid you adieu.
When the fruit is ripe, it is time to take the first bite.

It all mattered.
It all held a level of significance.
It all molded you.
Not all of it remains.
Not all of it should be cultivated.
Not all of it carries forth with you.
Today I came face-to-face with my reality.
And, I fancied it.
We’d known each other before we knew ourselves.
As we set side by side, we knew each other still.
She had been my childhood best friend.
Back before Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat.
Back when we exchanged weekly if not daily handwritten letters.
Letters I still have in my mother’s attic.
We separated not because of a disagreement, but due to emotional distance created by unspoken truths.
Haunted by the same secret we went our separate ways.
A secret that changed us without changing us.
Our secret no longer secret.
Our mutual truth no longer remains hidden.
There has been too much living to ever die again.
Few people have held her spot.
Mostly, because they never got the shot.
Reminensencing she brought it up, my adolescent reaction.
Her adolescent response.
Not to the truth, but to the omission.
Even now, it lingers.
She says, it severely impacted her formative years until her son appeared.
The reminder as we sat in the Central Jury room humbled me.
Our adolescent attempts at self-expression showed our ineptness.
Hurt turned into acting out.
And acting out metamorphosis into unforeseen consequences.
We have seen each other a few times since then.
But little did we know, the lives we then lived would soon come undone.
A twenty-nine-year friendship almost died, because of the truth we could no longer hide.
No more secrets.
No more excuses.
No more reasons to remain reclusive.
All the misinterpretations now clarified.
I am reminded why clarity is so important.
Fearful of a truth we both shared because we feared what the truth might shed.
It all mattered.
It all held a level of significance.
It all molded us.
Not all of it remains.
Not all of it should be cultivated.
Not all of it carries forth with us.
But we now know,
No more secrets.
No more excuses.
No more reasons to remain reclusive.

Duality.
It appears in all of the creation.
It is neither menacing nor benign.
It simply exists to be or to become.
Equivalent to so many other principles and concepts until the action occurs it lingers in a temporal fashion.
It is neither this nor that.
It is none and all.
It is a noun waiting for its verb.
Heart.
Mind.
Soul.
Passion.
Desire.
Goal.
Insert the right verb and change the heart.
Insert the wrong verb and darken the mind.
Marry the right verb and claim the soul.
Marry the wrong very and snuff out the passion.
Replace the right verb and realize your desire.
Replace the wrong verb and relinquish your goal.
Duality.
It is neither this nor that.
It is none and all.
It is a noun waiting for its verb.
Careful is the one who seeks before they speak.
The river runs wide.
The currents run fast.
Sometimes you can be both first and last.

What is an anchor?
Anchors are strong.
Anchors provide support.
Anchors hold vessels in place.
Anchors deliver content to the public.
Anchors can also prevent you from moving when you need to move.
Anchors can become a hindrance.
Anchors left unsecured can cause you to unexpectantly drift off course.
Anchors reliant on others can distort the truth.
Anchors exert power in a team sport.
Anchors attract consumers in a retail structure.
Anchors are fixed similar to true North.
Placing the anchor in the wrong position can cost you the race.
Placing an anchor in quicksand can sink the ship.
What is my point?
For every use, there is a consequence for improper positioning.
You can have all the support, all the talent, and all the wherewithal in the world.
Yet, if you use an anchor out of position, you will sink instead of swim.
You do not place detergent in the water after all the dishes have been washed.
You do not paint the wall after all the pictures have been hung.
You do not prepare for the job after the candidates have been selected.
So often we hear people say, “I was in the right place at the right time”.
Conversely, they might say, “I was in the wrong place at the wrong time”.
In both of these statements, they were in a position to receive some obscure action or value.
Before I wrote my first sentence, I had to learn my first word.
Before I learned my first word, I had to be taught my alphabets.
Before I was taught my first alphabet, I had to learn how to talk.
Every development had an equally important precursor.
Without the first, there can be no latter.

Relationships are like nuts and bolts.
Over screwing the bolt could strip the grooves beyond repair.
Use the wrong size nut and it will not fit.
Your use of force will make or break your relationship.
There are many degrees of force.
Emotional force.
Kinetic force.
Mental force.
Physical force.
Physiological force.
Silent force.
Levels and types of force are akin to the air we breathe.
If someone hands you a 5/16 bolt do not place a ¾ nut on it.
In turn, use the socket wrench when the increased power from a handheld drill, would warp the bolt.
The things meant to us may require work, but they rarely require force.
The definition of force indicates an exertion of power greater than required to achieve the desired goal.
Find the 5/16 nut in the basket of ¾ nuts and find your true pairing.

It is virtually impossible to use a pie recipe to make a cake.
It is the same with life.
Self-focus is the key to eliminating barriers to one’s success.
Constantly focusing on someone else, hinders you from growing into your own potential.
Grow or stagnant the choice is yours.

No human is ever 100% right all the time. None of the prophets were 100% right all of the time. The disciples were not 100% right all the time. It is okay to be wrong sometimes, for it is where our humility lives.
Jesus was even corrected at least once according to the written account of his time with the disciples.
Our mistake is thinking when we find or learn we are wrong that we should hide it. Instead, acknowledge it, embrace it, learn from it, and then let it go.
You are not God even though you were made in his image. An image is rarely an exact replication of the original.

The wise one knows when they find themselves offended they need to search their heart and not the offender’s words, motives, or actions.
As children of God, we are required to control our body, or thoughts, and our tongue. So, why do we always turn outward instead of inward when the offense comes?
The offense is a sign there is something we need to work on and that does not begin on the perimeter.

As people of Faith, we occasionally endure situations or people unnecessarily. I surmise we confuse longsuffering with the power of faith.
Jesus experienced longsuffering as he prepared the disciples to carry on his God News Message.
Yet, he cursed the stubborn fig tree refusing to bear fruit and suffered no more.
In both cases, neither were ready to produce. Neither had reached the time for return on investment.
Yet, the disciples were allowed to continue on so the message would be carried forth. The fig tree writhed up and died never to birth another fig.
Sometimes we have to condition our mind to understand some situations and some people unwilling to move must be left, because even though it is not their time, it is our time.
That’s why many are called, but few are chosen.
My experience shows the chosen rely mostly on Faith and less on timing.
Faith in understanding being called has more to do with being willing than being ready.
