Kiss your Words Goodbye!!
FAR AWAY
It's unbelievable when someone is here today and GONE tomorrow. The feeling can be unbearable and so raw that it takes your breath away. Sometimes, I cry and constantly think about you and what I could've done to save you and save me from this HEARTACHE!!
Recently, I just lost my brother's best friend to suicide to a totally different situation than the video. It's so unfortunate to see him leave in these circumstances. I've been so distraught and missing him so much. There is so many things I wish I could've said to save him. I wish I could've held his heart and comfort him through the pain he was enduring.
All I can say is CHERISH everyone you meet and LOVE everyone back who LOVES you! Most importantly, always be a concern friend because you never know what your friends maybe fighting inside.
RIP GO GETTA MIKE
Love,

The Return
A new person with more stripes in life, you are more prepared! You understand and appreciate it differently. Everything is different!!
Is coming off your path so bad? In a sense, NO! There is always a reason for being derailed. You could be preparing for something newer and bigger than what you expected. At this point, its best to keep doing your thang because what needs to happen will happen. When you finally return to your path, the reward will be unbelievable.....

5 Reasons God Permit Problems
5 Reasons GOD Permits Problems
The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you--depending on how YOU respond to them. Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring. Here are five reasons God May have Permitted the problems in your life:
1. God permits problems to DIRECT you. Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God allowing this situation to get your attention? "Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways. " Proverbs 20:30
2. God permits problems to INSPECT you. People are like tea bags... if you want to know what's inside them, just drop them into hot water! Has God tested your faith by allowing a problem or two into your life? What do problems reveal about you? "When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience." James 1:2-3
3. God uses problems to CORRECT you. Some lessons we learn only pain and failure. It's likely that as a child your parents told you not to touch a hot stove. But you probably learned by being burned...Sometimes we only learn the value of something...health, money, a relationship...by losing it. "It was the best thing that could have happened to me, for it taught me to pay attention to your laws." Psalms 119:71-72
4. God permits problems to PROTECT you. A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem-but it saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year later when management's actions were eventually discovered. "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good"... Genesis 50:20
5. God permits problems to PERFECT you. Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders. God is far more interested in your character than your comfort. Your relationship to God and your character are the only two things you're going to take with you into eternity.
"We can rejoice when we run into problems...they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady." Romans 5:3-4
** Here's the point: God is at work in your life-even when you do not recognize it or understand it. But it's much easier and profitable when you cooperate with Him.**
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
