"Direction, not intention, determines destination". Andy Stanley from "Principle of the Path".
Every path has an expected or predictable destination.Our destination is determined by our direction. The only way to change our destination is to change "paths". The person with the "purest" of intentions, can end up in the wrong destination if they are headed in the wrong direction. Examine where you are...Determine where you want to be and through the power of God, put yourself on the path that leads to that destination.
What Path are you on?
Be Blessed,
B

I AM
I’m more than just a man. I am a collection of moments, memories and movements
Like Midas, everything that I touch in impacted. Whether it is for the better or for the worst… it is impacted. So I carefully choose what I devote my time and energy to, because I want my life to be more than just another hyphen between two dates (the day I was born and the day I died).
I want to create. For I am made in the image of My Father who is the greatest creator of all, who spoke and made something from nothing, His nature is my nature. He has custom made me to be sensitive to certain imperfections, flaws and voids that I will encounter throughout my lifetime and His purpose for me is to recognize these challenges and make them opportunities. Like a superhero, I’m commissioned to respond to these “opportunities”. Opportunities not for me to display my “superpowers”, but for me to realize that I’m powerless and through God’s power I can rise to the occasion and be victorious, God has called me to greatness.
I have a high calling. I am a representative of God and because I have identified myself as a child of God, everything I say and do is associated with God by other believers and non-believers who bear witness to my life. My prayer is that I don’t shame His name.
I often feel as though I’m not worthy of all that God has given me. I don’t fully understand why He loves me, but I’m sure of the fact the He does and because He loves me and because I choose to live for Him. I am more than a Man. I’m a child of God.

What If??? (#2)
What if you only had 100 breaths to breathe?
Would you inhale deeper and exhale slower...barely allowing the air to leave?
What if you only had $100 dollars in which to live?
Would you selfishly keep it or would you somehow find a way to still give?
What if you knew the most recent moment with your loved one was your last?
Would you beg God for a time machine so that you could change the past?
Living life with regrets is not life at all.
It's a self-made prison with unbreakable walls.
Today I choose to live my life.
To manufacture moments that matter.
To make a difference.
To love in more meaningful and purposeful ways.
I choose to breathe a little deeper,
Exhale a lot slower.
So that I can recognize and appreciate
God's voice and His plan for my life

What if (#1)
What if the measure in which you helped others was the measure in which God helped you?
What if the measure in which you extended yourself for others was the measure in which God extended Himself for you?
What if God forgave like you forgive?
What if God loved like you love, with condition and based on how you are loved?
What if God only loved you when it was convenient and comfortable?
What if God was just like you?
What if?????
