ramble

life and death are the power of the tongue. i know the power and imporance of words..... at a young age i was blessed (yes i said blessed) with an aweful speech impediment.... i had a terrible, terrible stutter..... it was so bad that i was horrified when our car would pull up to drivethru window to order food... because i would be forced to speak to eat. i would beg to go inside so i could point at the picture, beg someone to order what i pointed at... but it kept me humble. thought me to listen, with no words, i had no agenda in the conversation so i listened, really listened to waht people were and weren't saying....... taught me to never waste my words, it made me want a voice. people dont realize how important it is until you grow up and spend half your life without one.... i was so freightend to speak, that my entire throat would close up as if someone was strangling me.... it was phyically painfull. that let me know my voice had to be important, because the devil himself was trying to keep me from using it...strangle it out of me. never underestimate how a good word in due season can change someone..........words can build you up or break you down, ask anyone who has been in an abusive relationship.... words are seeds...... the more you tend to hear something, the more you tend to believe it... u dwell on it.... then before long, you dwell in it..... if you concentrait on something too long, it tends to take root in your brain... then grow, so becareful the type of seed you plant, and the type you allow to take root in your soul. by what you plant, you can actually determain the atmosphere your life will be surrounded with... atmosphere is important, because if an atmosphere becomes predicable it turns into a climate. you cant grow an orange tree in washington because it is too cold for it to grow, no matter how hard you try, the climate is wrong.... and the more you stay in a climate, the more you get used to it. the more you adjust to it.... ask anyone who has moved to miami from a cold state, first is was awefull, hot and sweaty... but then they got used to it, adapted to it, then found it harder and harder to go back to the cold. people are like trees, and so are their fruit, the climate they are in often dictates what grows.......... so ask yourself, does the climate suit what you are looking for in life? it amazes me where some women look for their husbans and vice versa, if you met a guy who is always in the club, in vip, trying to see who is dropping it like it's hot, then why be suprized when he slides out one night or can never be found or has his phone off when memorial day rolls around..... you knew the kinda fruit it was when you picked it, you knew what climate you where in..... just like when your child hangs with nothing but dope boys..... chances are, he will become a dope boy.... if you walk with the wise, you will become wise, if you walk with fools your ways will become foolish......... ok it's 4 am so i'll finish later

(phil 4:8)
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
