Stop Telling People Everything
Most people today
can’t shut up. It
doesn’t matter
what they’re talking
about, they’ll let you
know about it. Whatever
it is, people will always
tell others too much.
This may seem fine
on the surface, but it
isn’t. You shouldn’t tell
people everything.
Especially your plans.
When you tell people
things without a filter,
you’re putting yourself
in a vulnerable position.
The person you’re
speaking to may
appear to be a friend.
But in truth, they could
You Could Serve as the Leverage for
Somebody's Rising!
This fine young man
came into my life 5
years ago. He walked up
behind me with a hair cut
that was 5 months past due
and a big hole in his shirt and
one sock on his foot. He
tugged on the back of my
shirt and said, "Sir, can you
teach me how to play
football? I responded, "Son, I
teach a lot more than just
how to play football.
His response was, "Okay". I
then said, "Son, where are
your mom and dad? Football
isn't cheap." He responded,
"My mom died and I don't
know where dad is. But, my
Auntie takes care of me."
God spoke to me that second
and told me to take care of
him in every way. God said to
me, "Be a shepherd."
I didn't know that that day, the
Lord gave me another son
who would change my and
his forever. I have never been
more proud to sit at an 8th
grade promotion as I was
recently. I reflected on the 4
national titles and all the
state championships we won
together. But I reflected most
on how Jesus dropped him
into my life like a stork from
the sky and how far he has
come since that day. God
gave him the best Aunt you
can ever ask for. I love you
Marquise! And the Lord gave
us 4 more years of high
school football together!
