A child called it

A child called It was a very interesting  story. I read the story back in high school. and the story was very intense. I didn't appreciate  how the mother abused the young boy physically, mentally, and emotionally. A child should never have to go through that. It is children that are actually going through these things this young bow was going through. Just to re-read this story, I felt like i read it for the first time. You would never expect for a mother to do her child wrong, and starve them. With a child that has to go through this and staying strong throughout the process of abuse, he is amazing.

A Queen Gone So Soon

Whitney Houston family and friends celebrated her home going service on Saturday Feb, 18, 2012. Even though her funeral lasted almost 6 hours, it was the best funeral I ever seen. She had a beautiful gold casket, and it was super shining. Talk about going home fancy. Her service had the best gospel artist singing such as The Winans Family, Kim Burrell, Donnie McClurkin, and other celebrities such as R.Kelly, Alicia Keys, and the legendary Stevie Wonder. The funeral was very touching and moving. Clive Davis,Tyler Perry, and Kevin Costner said some touching words about Whitney.  The part of the service that touched me was the ending. The pallbearers picked up Whitney's casket in the air and carried her casket on their shoulders, and as that was proceeding, I will always love you was playing in the background. It was good to put her away with a unforgettable service

Seasons

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing "...... Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Every year we go through four seasons, winter, spring, summer, and fall. Those seasons can come with a lot of things such as a new job, a good financial opportunity, a newborn baby, devastation, be lonely, or a loss of something. This season I lost my sister; she died last Sunday because of two cars were drag racing around her car on the highway. She left behind my niece who is only five years old. Now it’s my turn to part of the weight and plays not only the uncle roll but daddy roll. Since my sister died I gain more strength, maturity, and ambition in myself. Just by her death I'm highly motivated such as doing better than what I am in school, even though I'm doing good, but there is nothing wrong with doing better, so I'm chasing after everything. My sister was in school, and now it’s my turn to actually do it for the both of us. This season might be sad because she's transitioned to Heaven, but this season is also a good soon. My family is closer than ever. People also gained a relationship with God by her death. Her going home service was so beautiful. Over 700 people attended her funeral, and she loved flowers, so family and friends bought purple (which was her favorite color) for the funeral. I just want to say even though a season might come of bad, think of the positives aspects in your life and gain that strength to overcome what you’re going through.
