I'M BAAAAAAAAAACK....And boy has it been a ride!!!!!

Hey there family,

I trust everyone is doing well....I know It's been a minute since my last entry but I pray this time I can be consistence with my Blogs. Because to be perfectly honestly...I really do have a lot to say in this season of my life. I don't consider myself a "Blogger" but when I have something to say I do like to share with you all with the hopes that someone will be blessed by not what I say; by what I encounter, go through and come out of!!!

The last time I spoke to you all was probably about 2009, God was proving himself once again (as he does DAILY!!!). But this particular time God had blessed my wife and I amazing due to a leap of faith that we stepped out on. If you missed it please go check out my last Blog Entry titled "ONE OF THE MANY MIGHTY WORKS OF GOD!!! (My Testimony)" And let me know your thoughts and please feel free to share your testimony!!

Welp, since then....I have been working at the National Cancer Institutes going on 2 years now and My wife is still hasn't gone back to work yet, but last July 2010 she gave birth to our 1st child "A Girl"



A .S. Prince, she is a year and 2 months right now....

Although my wife has not gone back to work yet, God is allowing her to do what so many other mothers would LOVE to do and that is; stay at home and raise your child on your own. What mom wouldn't want that? In addition to that, my wife is pursuing her own business as a Make-Up Artist under the name "Virtuous Faces by Angel" Check her out!!!!




You know in a perfect world, it be so much easier to just quit your job and really focus on pursuing and living out the "American Dream"!! But since we don't live in a perfect world the only thing we can rely on during these times, is the Word of God! I personally rely on his promise and know without a shadow of doubt that God has a plan for my life and in due season, I will reap if I faint not!! (I think I'll go more in details about this in later blog..."The Pursuit of Happiness"). But it is amazing how society; the way it is and the job market is so scares that you almost have a better chance leaving the corporate world and running your own business then 1. Spending 2-4 years looking for a job that's not promising or 2. Spending 5-10 or more living with the threat of not having a job the next day or not being happy on your job all those years!!!

A combination of the two is what me and my family have been dealing with for the past few years!!! Are we bitter? No! Are we complaining? No! Have we given up hope? No! So what are we doing? Trust God like never before to manifest ALL that he has promised us. And while he does piece by piece were going to continue to not lose sight of what we can be doing NOW while God is doing what he is doing.

So sit tight, hang on and enjoy the ride because this year and the years to come will be a roller coaster ride of Blogs!!!

Love Y'all and I will Blog with ya later.......

WHOA!!!! Did God Just Tell Me "NO".....










1 Samuel 1-6 (Paraphrased)
1Now there was a certain man ……………name was Elkanah, ……………. 2And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there. 4And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: 5But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb. 6And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.


Has God ever told you "No" to something you asked for and or been praying for? And how did it make you feel or better yet, how did you respond to his "No"? To hear the words "No" from God just seem heartbreaking or Helpless...it’s like whom worst would you rather hear the word "No" from other then God himself. I mean if GOD say’s “No” what else is there left to do….

In the scripture/story above: Hanna (Elkanah 1st wife) had to deal with knowing that she couldn’t bear any kids because God himself for whatever reason decided to shut up her womb to make it so she could not reproduce. Now, I can only imagine for a woman that had to be a hard and painful pill to swallow; especially seeing how Peninnah (Elkanah 2nd wife) was able to do what Hanna was not able to. So in a sense God answer to Hanna request was “No”. Now before you let your emotion get the best of you...know we’re dealing with here. Man didn’t say “No”, Satan didn’t say “No”….it was GOD that shut up Hanna’s womb!! God has the power to turns "No's" into "Yes"...but he 1st wants to see if he will get the Glory out of your response to his “No”.

I find it interesting that with us Christian we are perfectly fine as long as God is saying “Yes, Yes, Yes” to what were asking him for. But the moments God says “No” we go crazy and start losing our minds and forget everything we know God has told/promised us and what his word says concerning our life. Many of us has been in Hanna’s shoes, where God has closed a door that we wanted open but for whatever reason God saw fit to close that door in this season of our life. Now God can have door stay close or he can close it for it to open later on in life…totally up to GOD!! But please know that GOD will never say “No” to hurt us!!

GOD says "NO" for 3 reasons: to "PROTECT" you, "TEST" you, "PREP" you

1. To PROTECT YOU – God's ultimate "NO" came when Jesus ask God in Luke 22:42 "Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done." if had answered "Yes" to that question, Jesus would not have died on the cross and the sins of the world would have cost all humanity a chance for eternal life. So you see God's "No" protected all Mankind. I'll put it this way....God see's your entire life “what was, what is, what’s to come” and he knows what you can and cannot handle. And a lot of what we desire in life is not always apart of God’s will but more so our own fleshly desire. The Bible says that God will give you the “desires of your heart” but if your desire is not lined up with God, then God has to step in and intercede. Because our desire may do more harm than good and that conflict with God’s ultimate plan.

2. To TEST YOU – I said before that we’re good, fine and dandy as long as God is saying “Yes, Yes, Yes” but the moment God say’s “No, No, No” we go from Sophomore year of College right back to Pre-Kindergarten…where is the spiritual maturity? God needs to know that he will get the same Praise, Glory, Honor when he say’s “No” to us the same as when he said “Yes” to us. God is trying to raise up a generation of consistence Believers and not fence straddler’s. So the next time God tells you “NO” it just very may be a test of your Praise!! Regardless of whether God says "Yes" or "No" to our request, we must remember that God is still in control and still deserve our highest praise, whether we like the answer or not. Job said it best; when he was at his worst and God allowed him to continue in the painful situation he was in. Job said "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."(KJV) Job 13:15

3. To PREPARE YOU - A father races his 8 year old son on the track, and 10 times out of 10 the son would beat his dad running from the starting line to the finish line. Unknowing to the son that it was not by his own speed and skills that he kept beating his dad, but because the son's father was letting him win to buid his confindence! This very particular time on the track, the father and son line up on the starting line and the father screams "On your mark, get set, Goooooooo"!!! The father sprinted with all that he had down the track, surpassing his son and reaching the finish line almost 5 second before his son. His son was very upset and sad that he lost the race. The father explain to him that in life; every "Lost" and every "No" you get should push you, prep you, and humble you. God is the ultimate winner and he allows up to lose every now and the so we can depend solely on him and not our own might!!! The sames applies to "No's", you won't always receive a "Yes" but you won't always receive a "No" either. And if you do receive a "No" Its ok because your "Yes" is coming....

So how will you respond to God's "No"? Will you say "Yes to his Will" when he says "No to your wants" or will you complain, pout & turn/run from his will? Whenever God's "No" remember he's only saying it to "PROTECT" you, "TEST" you, "PREP" you or all three.... Let God do the work he needs to do in you, regardless of what the answer is!!


Look out for PART II titled: “Ok, GOD said No: I get that…. but does Satan have to keep rubbing it in my Face”

ONE OF THE MANY MIGHTY WORKS OF GOD!!!!!!!! (My Testimony)

Hello Readers,

I trust you all are blessed and doing well!!!! I wanted to take this time to share a testimony with you all (please do not mistaken this e-mail as bragging or boosting of any kind on my part...because I am firm believer that my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the author of all miracles and If I boost and brag on anything it will be on him and his powers and none of anything that we did)

As some may know Angel has been out of work since January and about two weeks ago I was just let go from my job. Still trusting God believing and knowing that he will supply all of our needs according to his riches & glory!!!! We did not fret, panic or get discouraged doing this dry, desert season. Angel and I have been trusting in God like never before this pass year....I personally since being let go from my job have been really listening to the voice of GOD, reading his word to hear exactly what he wants me to do, where he wants me to go, and what moves to take in the midst of it all.....

So many times we hear about miracles happening and we believe that miracles can happen...but when they happen 1st hand in your own personal life it blows your mind on a whole different level...allowing you too trust GOD on a whole different level...

My "TRUE STORY" Begins...

Last Thursday my Pastor, Overseer Lanier C. Twyman called a meeting with all his leaders because we are in the process of getting St. Stephen Baptist Church #2 (DC) and the meeting was to discuss all the logistic, the blueprint, establish a Core Team and assign some roles...My Pastor then said that in order for us to get this 2nd church, the church would need to come up with One Hundred Thousand Dollars by Monday....(now lets set the record straight my pastor is not one of those pastors that ask for money like that...but when God places a vision on his heart and instruction on how to fulfill it he is obedient and follow through with it) So he said to accomplish this goal we would need 100 people to give $1000.00 each. At the moment a few of the leader proceed to walk up and sow their $1000.00 and it was a blessing to see the people of God respond to the appeal....

Now while all this is going on...Angel and I was sitting there getting discourage because in our hearts and mind...We wanted to give but knew we didn't have anything to give....so the night went on and more people gave and Angel and I racking our brain trying to figure out how we can be a blessing and be a part of this mighty move of GOD…but still nothing. Angel and I didn't even have enough funds in our account combine to even scratch the surface of what they wanted.....but we were still trying to figure out what can we give!!!!

The meeting ended and as we were on our way home...still thinking....we remembered that we had a jar that we had started putting money into after our wedding and the plan for that money was to doing something nice for our 1 year anniversary....Angel and I both had the same thought in mind. Let's go home and give whatever we have in that jar and sow into the start of St. Stephen #2 (DC)....we went home that night prayed about it, woke up the next morning and counted all that was in that jar and it totaled $500.00 even. Here is when the spiritual battle began...as soon as we finished counting the money and we had decided to give this to the church, thoughts begin to run. I called my Pastor and said that Angel and I needed to meet with him ASAP...(we didn't tell him what for) but I needed to get this money out of hand before our flesh allowed us to change our minds!!!

At this point; I have only $40.00 to my name and Angel has no cash and a negative $65.00......what would you do in this situation!!!!

Angel says: Danny instead of giving the whole $500.00 lets just give half and we can use this money to pay some bills, this is all we have and no telling when will we have any more money to catch up. I then said, I understand and you’re right we can use this money...but this is what the Lord is telling me to do. I don't know how, I don't know when, and I don't know in what form....but I know GOD will supply all our needs and I know he will take care of us. If giving this $500.00 toward St. Stephen #2 - DC will cause for one person to give their life to Christ then our money did not go in vain......(keep in mind this conversation at this point is going on in the car while were taking the money to the church - Friday Afternoon -) so while in the car the Lord led me too "1 Kings 17: 8-15" and after I read it that was my confirmation to proceed...Angel and I spoke again and she said "Danny, if this is what the Lord is telling you to do and even though my initial thought was too not go through with this..."As your Wife, I Will Trust You and Follow You!!!"

We pulled up to the church and proceeded in Pastor's office, we told him that after much prayer the Lord is leading us to sow this into the new Church…we pulled out our $500.00 (our last) put it in a envelope and handed to our Pastor.... He jumped out of his seat and said OMG!!! No this can't be.... neither one of you are working right and you want to sow $500.00 dollar. He then proceeded to say excitingly that "We did not know what we had just done" and he begin to minister to us, reconfirming what God has told us that were going to be fine and that God will supply all our needs... And that was that "so we thought" we left his office and went about our normal life...

Friday ended...Saturday came and gone...

And Sunday (the 3rd day) Angel and I woke up got ready for church and proceeded on...7:45am service was Awesome!!! My pastor made the appeal to the congregation because we still needed more money and he wanted the entire congregation to be a part in this....folks came up giving there sacrificial offering. Pastor then read off some of the names of those folks that gave and when he got to us, he asked us to stand and he shared what we had done on Friday (we had no idea he was going to do this...and we were not expecting him to do this) so that was that....10:45am service came around and the it pretty much flowed the same way...he asked, folks gave.....except this time it was slightly different.... Pastor did the same thing during the 10:45am service, he asked Angel and I to stand and he begin to speak on "Operating in radical FAITH" and he begin to share with the congregation what we did and said that neither one of us were working because we were let go by our jobs and that we stepped out on Faith to sow into the Kingdom of God!! (During this time more people are coming up giving there money - Senior, Men, Women, even Kids) I was blessed just to see the people respond to Pastor's appeal!!! But then out of nowhere a shift happened.....

Someone brought up a check for $500.00 and gave it to Pastor but instead of it being for the church it was written out to Angel and I!!!!!! You talking about a mighty move of God…more people started coming down with check for $100.00, $200.00, $50.00 and cash of all amount handing it too us!!! Angel and I were stuck in disbelief because we weren't expecting this nor were we looking for anything like this to happen.....We praised God for all that he was, is and has done!!! While all this is going on, Pastor shared this with the us and the congregation that on Friday morning about 4:30am God woke him up and told him to bless Angel and I with $1000.00, when our Pastor told his wife what the Lord had shared with him she got excited because on Thursday (during the meeting) God told her that whatever we gave they were going to double it. So Pastor in addition to whatever one else was walking up too us giving us he handed us a check for $1000.00....You can't tell me God ain't real. All day Sunday...God was allowing people to be a blessing to us in various forms....the money in the jar that we gave was for our 1 year anni. Cruise in Nov. Angel and I got a call Sunday night someone was asking if they could pay for the rest of our cruise!!!!

Only God can orchestrate such a blessing like this....this could not have been done by man!!!! To see what God had placed on the hearts of so many people and how it all lined up with what God had told us to do. None of this would have happen if we had not listen to GOD and gave out last!!! Because what he proved was that our life is not dictated by money by the grace and power of Christ!!!! My Faith has been taken to another level and I bless the Lord that Angel and I was the vessel to be tested during this time!!!!

This story was not shared for anyone to feel pity for us...but to recognize the power of God and how he moves when we move out of the way and listen and obey what the Lord has to say!!!! This was one of many Miracles that God performs to prove that he is God…

I LOVE MUSIC...BUT NOT ENOUGH TO COMPROMISE MY RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST.......

This is what makes me so mad about music these days,

I am a LOVER of ALL music and now that I’m older and my walk with Christ is stronger…. I try (keyword: TRY) to eliminate songs that have no real meaning to it, degrade men, women and children, have explicit lyrics, excessive cursing, and has nothing to do about Christ etc. (now of course that’s not going to happen…especially the one about songs that have nothing to do about Christ) but my downfall is I LOVE MUSIC and sometime I catch myself looking pass or having a deaf ear to the very thing that I despise just to enjoy the music.

Case and point: The song by Lil’ Wayne “Every Girl” that song has a vicious beat to it and the hook "I like her, and we like her too" is real slick….but the lyrics is a CRUCIAL turn off…. (See for yourself) and yes it’s a pretty long song too

“EVERY GIRL” by Lil’ Wayne

un I like a long haired thick red bon open up her legs then filet mignon that p%$#y Ima get in and on that p%$#yif she let me in Ima own that p%$#y gon throw it back and bust it open like you posed to girl I got that dope d@#k now come here let me dope you you gon be a dope fiend your friends should call you dopey tell em keep my name out they mouth if they dont know me huh but you cant call me tuccie Ill f*^k the whole group baby Im a groupie my sex game is stupid my head is the dumbest I promise I should be hooked on phonics haha

Young Mula baby



You see what I mean… Those are some of the worst, explict, downgrading lyric ever...but yet,
My flesh says More, More, More….but my Spirit Man say No More, No More, No More…..I mean I’m dealing with a straight spiritual warfare right now…. You can only understand if you love music as much as I do. I am a HUGH Outkast, Talib Kweli, Eminem, Tupac, fan and many more.
But another dilemma I have, is that the Christian music that I listen too (more so the rap), I feel…. are somewhat lame….good message but wack beats.

Don’t get me wrong…like I said I LOVE MUSIC so I have Cd’s, Songs and play list for days of Gospel, Praise & Worship, even Gospel Rap, Etc…..but sometime (which is OK for Christians) to listen to worldly music but songs like that really make you think….is it really OK to listen to that?

I Love Music but I LOVE my relationship with Christ even better……


PART II is coming soon................

Actors, Actresses, Singers, Rappers, Television Host and Radio Personalites................UMMM EXCUSE ME, WHERE JESUS?

It blows my mind...but yet is does not surprise me that we can quote the lines in a movie that one of our favorite actors or actress have said, we can memorize a song that our favorite rapper or singer has written, we can take the advice that a talk show host give us and treat it as if it were golden, we can religiously listen to our favorite radio personality (secular or Christan) and take there words and apply them to our life.

But where's the word of GOD...where is JESUS in all of this?

I mean don't get me wrong, please don't!!!! (I can see all the "hate e-mails" now being sent to me..LOL) I love my fellow actors and actresses, singers and rappers and who doesn't like listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show..... So this blog is in no way to bash the Will Smith's and the Beyonce's, the Yolanda Adam's and the Steve Harvey's, Tyra Banks, Dr. Phil's and Oprea's of the world. I have nothing against them or what they stand for (actually, I take that back...buts that another blog) my problem lies with us "The People".....more so "Children of God", we hold this individuals up on a pedestal some higher then GOD and others maybe not as high as GOD but almost. And as I said earlier, we can quote the line, sing the songs, take the advice and e-mail them and text message them to everybody in the world. Why can't we give GOD that same attention, why can't we be just as much as a walking billboard for Christ as we are for "Man" (meaning both man and woman). We have conformed to the world so much whereas if there were no commercials, newspapers, etc. ; businesses, music artist, movies, TV shows would get the same ratings and acknowledgement because we have become there advertisement in so many ways.

Now lets flip the script, If there were no churches....would Christ get the same ratings, attention, acknowledgement, reverence etc.? I would say "no" sadly, because there aren't enough of us that know the word enough to spread it...there aren't enough of us that are willing to be the voice of Christ in the streets, at work, at school, in the malls, etc. We can repeat the advice that Steve Harvey gives during the Strawberry letter...but we can't quote "Psalms 100" of Lead someone to Christ for ourselves, we can listen to Yolanda Adams for the "Points of Power" but couldn't find it ourselves if she didn't tell us.

I'm just saying....we spend a lot of time investing in things that doesn't necessarily do us harm but doesn't do our mind or our life any good. "Real investment always have a good return" What your investing in right now in your life, is the return on it worth the time you spent investing? Everything you watch, everything you listen too, everywhere you go, everything you give your attention to in life is an investment and eventually you will reap all that you have invested. Now what you get back in return depends on what was invested. (Simple Reaping and Sowing Principle)

I can really go deep with this, but I'm at work and I have to be a good steward over my job so I hope you enjoyed and I will see you on my next blog!!

Till next time................

Anxiously Awaiting.......but For What and Why?

So my fellow bloggers,

Until now I was content, comfortable, relaxed, I was ok with where my life was, yes it could have been a little better, but I was fine with it……Until that “BUT GOD” came in!!!! God has and still is really blowing my mind right now, I mean straight 180 has Christ turned my life around!!!! It has me at a point in my life where I have never been before....a point where it’s unexplainable.... a point where its kind of exciting, but yet a little nervous.....but on the edge of my seat anticipating what’s next….

What am I waiting for? What am I so anxious to have? What is it in my life that I do not have that I so desire now?

Well let's look back at my life. I went from having nothing to having everything a man could ever want or need!!! Well almost everything...."my best is yet to come". But before the best, there's always the worst. I went from going from being a low-life jerk on the block to smoking and drinking, barely graduating from high school, disrespecting my mom and every authority that was place in my life, being almost 25 before I even got a license, not having a bit of sense to even think about what I wanted to do in life, but still trying to do everything I could to make my mark in this world........The wrong way!!!


BUT GOD!!!!!! He had another plan for my life....
2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

I'm now 28 years old, married to my best friend, purchased my 1st House, started a new life, going from being a Deacon to a Minister, excepting new challenges, walking into a new job and after receiving all of this, you would think I “The Prince” would be done looking and expecting anything else. “But I wasn’t” Until I heard from the Lord!! He told me that HIS blessing is by no mean "Just For Us" anything GOD allows you to do and or have is for the uplifting up HIS kingdom....we just have the privilege to hold on to it and I had to realize that there is a bigger picture in everything God does. Isaiah 40:31 "They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint"

If I understand what that scripture means and I believe it to be true......

Then why and what am I so anxious for right now? Especially when the word of GOD says in Philippians 4:6 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”


TO BE CONTINUE....................................


But in the mean time please share your thoughts and opinions about this.

AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE........

Friends, Family & Foe's

As hard as this may be to write (kind of, sort of) I have to say it.... I think we all need to be told or reminded every now and then that things will not always be the same. Things will change (for the better) but I expect all those around me to understand and if you choose to stay around; adapt to those changes. I don't feel like I'm asking much, just to respect me and mine.

So you ask the question: Are you upset? Was it something I did?

Let’s just say that I am speaking for what to come rather then what have already taken place.

Everybody at some point in time will come to the realization that there are something’s in their life that they just can not tolerate, accept or condone anymore. I found this to be true when I accepted Christ in my life (in my babe stages)......but I found it even more to be true when God begin to mature me in my walk with him (growing, learning, elevating).

You see, when I first gave my life to Christ (accepting Salvation) I really wasn't expecting folks to understand, accept or even encourage the change that was taking place in my life. Some did and other did not. Those that did not have a desire to change (quite as kept) were more acceptable with my decision then those that may have spoken on changing but just haven't done it yet. "Yeah I thought that was funny too". Now that I am mature now and my walk with Christ is stronger and steadier…I find that those closes by me are not too “openly” acceptable with change. Meaning: They understand what I’m doing, but because there not quit ready themselves to make that change, they’re not as receptive to the changes that I’m making in my life.

BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD!! (Joshua 24:15)

No, I am not perfect, and yes, I still and will probably continue to make mistakes but a standard has to be set “FOR ME and MY HOUSE” I can not speak about what goes on in anyone else household or personal life but I can speak about my life and my household.

The Threshold of my House is where Holiness begins and Sin ends…

The Threshold of my Life is where Holiness enters and Sin is evicted (daily)…

So to everyone that’s reading, check yourself the next time you enter someone’s house and check yourself at who you allow into your Life. You know your life and your house has a spiritual connection, what you allow in your house can either make or destroy your life and what you allow in your life can make or destroy your household.

BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD!!
