GetChristLike.com Journal 001

We are preparing to leave tonight
Two.5 families headed to Florida
Got my www.GetChristLike.com T-shirts packed
A few SupaDopeFresh.com Shirts packed
House Sitter arranged for
Deoderant, Dental Floss, 2 Razors, (buying a toothbrush there),
Clothes, Socks, Underwear,
Cell Phone Charger, Laptop, Flat Panel Monitor,
Drawing Pad, Pencils, Pens, Crossword Puzzle Books,
MP3 collection, PSP with the Kung-Fu-Hustle Movie,
portable earphones, and hard drive? (thinking I should only do school work - no hard drive needed)

I want to focus on Getting Christ Like in my daily life,
The best way to market a brand is to be the brand
So I'm asking all my business partners in particular to...

BE THE BRAND!

We are "www.GetChristLike.com"
We realize that There is only so much time left...
Each of us has a day set that we leave this earth
It's up to us to use that time wisely
Not wasting it speaking foolish words,
Consuming alcohol until we can not think straight,
Having sex with as many people as we can,
Destroying earth with waste and pollutants.
We are more responsible than that
We have more respect for God than that
We have more respect for ourselves than that.

They say its hard to walk upright
Too difficult to Get Christ Like

I say anything worth attaining is worth fighting for
I say that if you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything

I'm leaving for a minute
I have a lot to think about
Have a lot of meditating, fasting and praying to do
I'm looking for a job now during what is the worst economic state I've ever seen
I can't give up on the family business
So a job will offset the financial burden
Friends and Employers both look at me like "Why?"
Like I'm too good to work in a warehouse
Or take orders
I dissagree highly!
I've been bred to work
My daddy and his daddy before him worked until they could not anymore
And when they found more work they went back and did some more
They were providers

I remember one of my friends describing me as a "Provider"
(http://ping.fm/vYjck)
"Providers take it upon themselves to insure the health and welfare of those in their care, but they are also the most sociable of all the Guardians, and thus are the great nurturers of social institutions such as schools, churches, social clubs, and civic groups. Providers are very likely more than ten percent of the population, and this is fortunate for the rest of us, because friendly social service is a key to their nature. Wherever they go, Providers happily give their time and energy to make sure that the needs of others are met, and that social functions are a success. "

So there you have it
I am what I am
Without the ability to be that, I am but lost soul
They once said that until you can help yourself, you can not help others
I've seen that proven wrong on many occassions
I've watch my father and grandfather carry entire church congregations
While they struggled each day at home
Struggled with finances, health problems, and broken dreams.
But yet they remained strong
Leaders amongst men
So I continue to press forward
Following in bold footsteps
Knowing that this race is not giving to the swift nor the strong
I'm definitely not the fastest nor the strongest
But I'm the one that never quits

I got tired of running some time ago
I ran from problems
Ran from relationships
Ran from crowds
Ran from truth

But today I'm no longer running
I'm standing firm
Preparing to Get Christ Like
