More than 24 hours since the "Birthday Party Express" (thanks KTDM)
I am still feeling overwhelmed by the love that was shown to me on last night. Sometimes as we go through life we don't realize the effect or impact we have on others. Thanks to some friends, family and associates, I was able to witness the effect that I've had on a few. Wow!!!!! I only had about 4 hours of sleep since. Thanks to all that put their love in action!!!!!!! Love is truly on top!!!!
With much love I say thanks @ Monica Satchell who some way some how, pulled this off without me knowing.
Special thanks to Monica's secret keepers, angels. I love you and I say thanks for making this celebration so special.

"WHAT A REAL MAN IS?"

A Real Man is a Priest of his household. A Real Man sees through the eyes of God, prays for the mind of God, and bows before the face of God!A Real Man is willing to make great sacrifices, but is never afraid to become one, himself. A Real Man stands at his absolute tallest, when he learns to fall to his knees and rises to his absolute highest, when he climbs outside of himself and into the loving arms of God!A Real Man is prepared to fall to the ground and die, so seeds can be birthed through him, which will yield forth, righteous fruit. A Real Man doesn't consider it a sign of weakness, when pain and sorrow swells up in his heart and then falls like rain from his eyes.A Real Man is willing to tap into the deep, sweet wells of God and drink from it, when he's thirsty and bathe in it, when he's dirty. A Real Man doesn't just speak up, but he also listens.A Real Man not only lives by faith, but he lives to forgive, he lives to empower, and he lives to instruct.A Real Man doesn't make others pay for the mistakes done to him, by others. Instead he uses the pain from his past, to make himself better and not bitter. A Real Man is eager to cut down all the evil trees planted in him, and passed down to him, with the mighty sword of God's Word!A Real Man longs to love and be loved!A Real Man will raise high his shades, and open wide the windows of his heart. Allowing the scented aroma of fresh breaths of new life, to blow in him, on him, and through him.....like radiant rays of sunshine, bursting forth like glistening drops of fragranced dew! Awakened by morning and sent forth to renew him, refresh him, and rebuild him. All the while eradicating and uprooting everything inside of him, that's been shattered, broken, and bruised. A Real Man lifts up his anchors, so he can sail on blue, green, oceans, to awaiting destinations in God!A Real Man knows he must walk through the valley, in order to get to the mountain top! But in doing so, God will plant an endless garden of lilies inside of him, that releases "His" rich fragrance and sweet smelling perfume, which will be with him always, growing inside of the pockets of his heart. A Real Man is able to teach, and to be taught! He studies to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15) KJVA Real Man allows God to guide his footsteps, while he chases after Him! A Real Man cannot be made a man by bullying him, berating him, emasculating him of his self worth and identity, or amputating the limbs of his character, by castrating him of his strength!A Real Man "CANNOT" be made a Man, simply by "WATCHING" another man! Because "that man" may have been mishandled and been physically and emotionally abused!That man, may have been molested, "that man" may be misguided, "that man" may be messed-up, and mixed-up and unable to mount-up and rise-up above his present day circumstances. Because, "that man" became infected, when he was "rejected" and made to feel "dejected" from the moment he was "ejected" from out of his mother's womb! Instead of "that man" receiving a helping hand-UP, he was held-up and robbed of his masculinity! How then, can we call him a "dog" and expect him to behave like a man? How can he know how to, if he was never taught to? We must encourage him and support him! We must give him the tools and teach him that he can fly, even if he's wearing shoes made out of cement!We must hold him in our arms and lift him up to God! We must embrace his dreams and implore him and empower him, to bring those dreams into full fruition! We must talk to him and not at him and stand in the gap, to bridge the gap that divides us, through the intimacy of prayer and intercession! Thereby activating and resuscitating the majestic harp of harmony, God longs to begin to play in our lives, when we STOP "laying that man out" and START "laying him down" before the LORD! We must learn and come to fully understand that "A Real Man" cannot be "made" a man by human hands! A Real Man can only be made a man, when he's willing to "submit" and allows himself to be molded into the image and likeness of GOD! Where he's carefully shaped and formed, by the very fingertips of GOD! Because despite being born a "Male" at birth, YOU CAN ONLY BE MADE "A MAN" BY GOD!!!
