never would have made it....

i celebrated my 23rd birthday this weekend. i must say i have come such a long way and GOD has really worked some wonders with me. i have had my share of ups and down, but i continue to praise him in advance for blessings in my life. the last year was rough, i dealt with extreme confusion, depression, and loss. with all of the heartache, i was able to maintain sanity, put together goals for myself, and work myself into the type of man i want to be. i was able to travel with friends, and family, i started the process of taking tog media to another level. i cried, i laughed, i loved, i got rejected, but no matter what and how hard it got i kept my head up. i was initiated into the glorious brotherhood of delta phi upsilon fraternity, i grew apart from several people in my life, and i gained so many other people in different department. i cleaned out my closets, i stepped up my game in so many ways. i returned to houston for good. i became the bigger person in situations, i let my grauds down. i dealt with weight, self esteem, family issues and issues from my childhood. i learned to let go and let GOD.

so you may be wondering what's next for TOG? well only GOD knows, of course i have my vision, and with much prayer, and support i am taking every level of my life higher. tog media will prosper, i will be an uncle in a few months. i will start other concepts i have been taking about for years. i will be a better brother, son, friend and love. i will honestly love myself the same way my lord and savior Jesus Christ himself loves me. for i know what is broken in my life he can fix. i will live......

it was my best TEAday ever.....

where do i begin? well today was my 22nd birthday, and i must say it has been somewhat of a simple day, yet it has been the most special birthday i have have to date. my day started last night (this morning) with phone calls from everyone wish me a happy birthday. i woke up this morning feeling refreshed, and ready for a great day. i took the day off so that was one thing that was going to make the day great also. i decided to stay home do a little packing, and send some e-mails. i went to hour of power @ noon, which is a special mid-week service that my pastor hold every wednesday @ noon for professionals, and community member to come, get the word, eat, and go back to work, school, or whatever. well when i walked in everyone greeted me and wished me a happy birthday, and my general question was "how do they know it's my birthday??" anyway, he went right into the message, which hit so close to home for me as they always do. it's amazing how every sermon i have heard him preach to date has effected me personally and he breaks down in ways I never thought were possible. i guess the major difference in this birthday was that i am saved now, and i understand the importance of Christ in my life. i now understand that GOD created me for me, just the way i am, and he is with me guiding my path. i now understand that everyday is a birthday, and i give thanks for that. after church, i went to a meeting with some clients of TOG and wrapped up a major project i have been working on which was another great gift. ...i took a trip to the mall, and went to check on my cake for this weekend, then i returned home where my family had a cake and dinner for me.....i have so much to be grateful for, i am 22 years old, educationally focused, i have my own business, a great job, great friends, and sanity. i just hope i am blessed with many more days like this in this lifetime.....and just to think my 22nd birthday celebration is not over yet...
